STEVAL-IFP032V1

Eight channel high side driver evaluation board based on the VNI8200XP-32 is intended for device testing in terms of power management and digital interface. In adherence with industrial standards, the board’s isolated interface between the IPS and host controller are implemented using high speed opto couplers for IPS driving and low speed opto couplers to receive device status information. Connection is achieved through a 30-pin connector. A GUI interface provides a user-friendly way to test VNI8200XP-32 device functionality, after connecting the STEVAL-IFP032V1 evaluation board to a PC via a communication board. Thermal performance is improved thanks to a four-layer design with copper regions distributed across all the layers for more effective heat dissipation. The STEVAL-IFP032V1 evaluation board meets EFT standard requirements IEC 61000-4- 2, IEC 61000-4-4, IEC 61000-4-5.
