STMicroelectronics Evaluation Boards Half-Bridge Driver for EVAL-L9960 for SPC560P-DISP

The EVAL-L9960 and EVAL-L9960T are the simplest solution to evaluate respectively the L9960 and L9960T functionalities providing all the inputs and outputs capabilities necessary to drive DC motors and monitor diagnostic functions. The driving strategy is enhanced by configurable PWM / DIR pins as IN1/IN2.The H-Bridge contains integrated free-wheel diodes. In case of free wheeling condition, the low side or the high side transistor is switched on in parallel of its diode to reduce power dissipation.Wide supply voltage range (VBatt): 4V÷28V Current limitation threshold set by SPI: 4 levels from 2.5A to 8.6A (Typ.) Device controlled and programmed via SPI Diagnostic functions accessible via SPI: short circuit to battery, short circuit to ground, short circuit overload, over temperature, open load On board 5V, 1.5A Voltage regulator 2 LEDs for monitoring VBatt and EN signal. Input signal connector compatible with the SPC5 Discovery+ boards. Possibility to connect the board to microcontroller boards by a simple adaptor or by wires. Test points to monitoring both input signals (SPI, PWM, EN) and outputs Flexible driving strategy via configurable pins PWM/DIR (IN1/IN2): No heat-sink is required
