24V Intelligent Power Switch Expansion Board

August 31, 2016 by Jeff Shepard

The X-NUCLEO-IPS02A1 from STMicroelectronicsprovides an affordable and easy-to-use solution for driving grounded loads (i.e. heating elements, solenoid driver, LED driver, light bulb driver, pumps relay replacement, and fans) in STM32 Nucleo projects. This expansion board is compatible with the Arduino UNO R3 connector and supports the addition of other STM32 expansion boards with a single STM32 Nucleo board. The user can also mount the ST morpho connector.

The X-NUCLEO-IPS02A1 expansion board is based on the VPS2535H a double channel High Side Driver through a 3V and 5V CMOS-compatible interface and with multisense analog feedback and protections. The device VPS2535H integrates advanced protective functions such as the load current limitation protects the device in overload conditions. The device latches off in case of overload or thermal shutdown.

Key features include: Operating voltage range from 8 V to 36 V; Current limitation of 42A; Ron (per channel) of 35mΩ at 25 degrees C; Stand-by current of 2μA; Operating temperature range of -40 to 150 degrees C; Power ok and Output LEDs; Multisense Analog feedback; Fully protected device; Compatible with Arduino™ UNO R3 connector; Compatible with STM32 Nucleo boards; and RoHS compliant.
