User manual L5965 evaluation board Introduction L5965 is a multichannel voltage regulator specifically designed to support applications that need to fulfill functional safety requirements as defined by Automotive Safety Integrity Level (ASIL). It is available in VQFPN-48 package. This document describes how to use the L5965 application board in order to check device's performance.
Board description The demo board is an evaluation tool for L5965. L5965 embeds 1 controller and 1 buck that can both be supplied by the car battery and used as pre-regulators, 2 buck post-regulators, 1 boost, 1 linear regulator and 1 precise voltage reference.
UM2564 Board operation Board operation The demonstration board is already set to allow the evaluation of the PMIC features. For a basic use, no preliminary operation is necessary. Just connect a compatible voltage to the connector J2 (VBAT1) and check the output signals on proper connectors.
UM2564 Programming option Programming option The L5965 mounted on this demonstration board is programmed as follows (see product datasheet, chapter 6.8). Figure 3. OTP programming Buck2 is the main regulator and provides 3.3 V at 3 A and 0.4 MHz. This is the pre-regulator that supplies the others.
UM2564 SPI connector SPI connector SPI signals are available on the J12 connector. The SPI bus can be also used to monitor the PMIC diagnostics. Figure 4. Demo board SPI connector UM2564 - Rev 1 page 5/10...
