UM3028 User manual Getting started with the AEK-POW-LDOV01J and AEK-POW-LDOV01S automotive-grade LDOs with configurable output voltage Introduction AEK-POW-LDOV01J AEK-POW-LDOV01S evaluation boards host, respectively, the L99VR01JTR L99VR01STR voltage regulator ICs, which are two different versions of the L99VR01. Figure 1. AEK-POW-LDOV01J evaluation board Figure 2.
L99VR01JTR functional block Figure 4. L99VR01STR functional block AEK-POW-LDOV01J AEK-POW-LDOV01S boards can be used in a standalone configuration or with an external microcontroller. In the latter case, the MCU provides a watchdog signal to the regulator to monitor the active connection.
Overcurrent monitoring and lost ground protection The overcurrent limit is set by regulating a current on the Ishort through an external potentiometer available on the AEK-POW-LDOV01J. If the overcurrent limit is reached, the RST pin is pulled low. • Thermal warning detection To warn the microcontroller about a severe temperature increase of the LDO, a thermal warning output has been implemented.

Then, the current consumption of the device is about 1 μA. Figure 5. Enable and disable signals The EN input pin or the EN1 jumper enable/disable the AEK-POW-LDOV01J/AEK-POW-LDOV01S, as follows: • when the EN pin is set to high, it is forced to low and the output is switched off;...
The watchdog is an automotive safety mechanism used to monitor a continuous connection with an external MCU. The watchdog signal (generated by the MCU and applied to the AEK-POW-LDOV01J WI pin) is a square wave with a duty cycle equal to 50%. Its frequency value depends on both the output voltage and the chosen C4...
UM3028 Overvoltage warning (for the AEK-POW-LDO01J only) Overvoltage warning (for the AEK-POW-LDO01J only) The TW pin provides the output overvoltage (OV) diagnostic. To distinguish between a thermal warning and an output overvoltage event, two different signals are generated on the same TW output pin. A thermal warning event detection sets the TW pin low.
Software architecture Software architecture According to the AutoDevKit paradigm, several MCU boards can be connected to the AEK-POW-LDOV01J/AEK- POW-LDOV01S evaluation board. The smallest available MCU is the SPC582B Chorus 1M. AutoDevKit ecosystem fully supports the hardware. This ecosystem consists of: •...
RESET: this state detects a falling reset signal. It returns to the normal state when the V output voltage rises above V and the watchdog frequency value is correct (for the AEK-POW-LDOV01J only) • ERROR: the FSM enters this state when the absolute value of the difference between the V...
UM3028 AEK-POW-LDOV01x software library architecture Note: Before proceeding with the power on, set the output voltage by using the SELx pins. 3.3.3 Power off To turn the AEK-POW-LDOV01x off, an enable off transaction is required. The AEK-POW-LDOV01x software library includes the following power off instruction: void AEK_POW_LDOV01x_power_off (uint8_t AEK_POW_LDOV01x_n_device);, where the AEK_POW_LDOV01x_n_device represents the allocated AEK-POW-LDOV01x board.
