This document describes the hardware implementation of STEVAL-IFP001V1, with a focus on PCB design, which is critical for EMC immunity robustness and thermal management. The VN808CM-E is a monolithic device designed in STMicroelectronics VIPower M0-3 technology. The product is intended for driving any kind of load with one side connected to ground. It can be driven by using a 5.0V or 3.3V logic supply. This allows realizing an output stage without optical decoupling or another level-shifting. Active current limitation, combined with thermal shutdown and automatic restart, protect the device against accidental or long-time short circuit and overload. The complete solution is implemented on a double-face board with only two copper layers, which is cost-effective, and the precision of routing is cost-optimized. STEVAL-IFP001V1 is delivered in a set with a CD-ROM including board fabrication data (Gerber files), this user manual, and related devices documentation.
This document details the STEVAL-IFP001V1 hardware implementation, which serves as a PLC actuator high-side driver solution based on the VN808CM-E High-side Driver. The solution is designed to drive loads with one side connected to ground using CMOS compatible signals, allowing direct connection to a microcontroller without optical decoupling or level-shifting.
