Description
The EVAL-L9026-YO is a low-cost tool designed to evaluate L9026, a smart power
device designed by STMicroelectronics in advanced BCD technology. The L9026 is
an eight channels IC, with 2 fixed HS drivers and 6 configurable HS/LS drivers
designed for Automotive applications (LEDs and Relays) and compatible with
resistive, inductive, and capacitive loads. The device offers advanced diagnostic and
protection functionalities such as: short to GND, open load, overcurrent, over-
temperature detections. The 8 output channels can be either driven by SPI or by 2
dedicated parallel inputs that can be associated to different output thanks to a
Product status link programmable internal multiplexer. Limp home functionality is also featured, which
EVAL-L9026-YO allows using 2 selected drivers in particular, faulty, conditions, such as SPI fault,
microcontroller fault or supply UV. Daisy chain compatibility even with 8bit SPI is
Product summary available. The device is able to guarantee operations under cranking scenario down
to VBATT = 3 V and guarantees very low quiescent current under RESET condition.
Order code EVAL-L9026-YO A serial peripheral interface (SPI) is used for control and configuration of the loads as
Reference Evaluation board well as of the device; besides, status feedback of all diagnostic functions is provided.
For direct control and PWM there are two input pins available: these are connected
Order code PTSCONNECTUM to two defined outputs by default, but additional or different output mapping can be
Reference Hardware interface controlled by SPI. Thanks to the expansion connectors, EVAL-L9026-YO allows the
complete control of L9026 communication interface (SPI) and parallel input/output.
All the possible configuration on the single channel can be easily managed thanks to
dip switches. The evaluation board can be also controlled with Graphical User
Interface available on PTSCONNECTUM hardware interface.
