The STEVAL-IFP001V1 demonstration board 
implements the functions of the VN808CM-E, an    
8-channel high-side driver with CMOS compatible 
voltage levels in industrial applications, and is 
developed using VIPower M0-3 proprietary 
technology. The VN808CM-E completes the 
series of octal high-side drivers for the factory 
automation market. 

It is intended for driving any kind of load with one 
side connected to ground and can be driven by 
using a 3.3 V logic supply. Active current 
limitation, combined with thermal shutdown and 
automatic restart, protects the device against 
overload. 

The STEVAL-IFP001V1 is compliant with 
international electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) 
specifications as well as EMC immunity proof       
4 kV level EFT (IEC 61000-4-4), and 2 kV voltage 
surge (IEC 61000-4-5), and has been tested at 
different typical ambient temperatures. It is 
suitable for use in programmable logic controllers 
to produce the related digital outputs according to 
IEC standards.

The STEVAL-IFP001V1 is also based on the 
SM15T33A, a unidirectional Transil™ diode.
