STMicroelectronics IPS160H | Demoboard STEVAL-IFP028V1

Description

The STEVAL-IFP028V1 is an evaluation board designed to analyze all IPS160H functionality. It is designed to meet the application requirements in terms of: Galvanic isolation between user interface and power interface. This requirement is satisfied by an optical isolation implemented through optocouplers OPTO1 for signal forward to the device and OPTO2 for the feedback diagnostic signal. Compliant with IEC 61000-4-2, IEC61000-4-4, IEC 61000-4-5 requirements. These requirements are satisfied by IPS160H itself and by the component U1 (the external TVS between VCC supply rail and power ground).To provide a user friendly interface to test IPS160H functionality, a dedicated GUI interface has been developed. In order to use the GUI, the STEVAL-IFP028V1 is connected to the STEVAL-PCC009V2 through a 30-way flat cable and then the STEVAL-PCC009V2 is connected through an USB cable to the PC with the GUI.The GUI lets you drive the STEVAL-IFP028V1 and monitor the status of the output on the power side, receiving fault information from the IPS160H DIAG pin.Finally, the STEVAL-IFP028V1 optimizes thermal performance through a careful layout with a dedicated copper area connecting the exposed pad of the PSSO12 package and acting as a heat-sink.
