Description

The STEVAL-IFP032V1 evaluation board, based

on the VNI8200XP-32 high-side driver, 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 (part

number STEVAL-PCC009V2).

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.
