STEVAL-IFP020V1

PLC (for industrial automation) digital output solution using a

2.5 A single high-side smart power switch based on the L6370Q

Features

Description

The STEVAL-IFP020V1 demonstration board is

based on the L6370Q, a single-channel high-side

driver chip intended for driving resistive, inductive

or capacitive loads in an industrial environment. It

provides an embedded fast demagnetization

feature for inductive load switch-off.

The device evaluates load disconnection (during

overtemperature, undervoltage of supply voltage,

and provides feedback to a control unit.

Integrating an extensive set of electrical

protections makes the application safe and

reliable for use in harsh conditions.

The STEVAL-IFP020V1 demonstration board is

an example of application design using the

L6370Q. It is used to guide the designer in

choosing external components for applications

while providing an appropriate PCB design.
