Airbag Eva Board Introduction The MB467 Airbag Eva Board is a complete demonstrator of an airbag system based on STMicroelectronics devices. The board implements a flexible and open design demonstrating the capability of the STMicroelectronics 16/32bit microcontrollers and safing devices for airbag applications.
1 Introduction Introduction The MB467 Airbag Eva Board is intended as a low cost development platform to demonstrate the capability of the L9658/L9654 safing and L4998 voltage regulator ASIC’s. The board includes also a CPU board connector to interface with ST10/ST30 EVA board.
UM0178 1 Introduction Devices The MB467 Airbag Eva Board mounts the following devices: L9658 octal squib driver and quad sensor interface ASIC for safety application – 64-pin TQFP version – 8 deployment drivers – interface with 4 satellite sensors –...
UM0178 2 Before you start Before you start This section describes operations needed before powering up the board. Please, refer to Chapter 4 on page 10 for detailed information on board configuration and jumper settings. Jumper settings For the location and (default) settings of the various jumpers, please refer as follows: Close the jumper J51 to supply the board.
UM0178 3 Using the board Using the board How to exercise diagnostic functionality 3.1.1 Arming interface Arming communication between micro and ASIC can be exercised by interrupting clock signal of the specific SPI. This can be done opening the jumper J20. 3.1.2 Squibs This board support both real squibs or simulated loads.

UM0178 4 Hardware L4998 Safety Power Regulator ASIC The L4998 integrated circuit is intended for automotive applications.The main feature set is described below: Boost regulator able of sourcing up to 90mA output current Buck regulator operating in Continuous Conduction Mode able of sourcing up to 250 mA output current One 5.0V linear regulator (V ) able of sourcing up to 200mA output current...
UM0178 4 Hardware the current limit condition was removed, this fault condition does not interfere with the operation of any of the other output channels. Channels 3 and 4 of the L9658 can by used to provide an analog feed back current as a 1/ 100th ratio of the sense current in this mode internal FIFO and decoder are bypassed.
UM0178 4 Hardware There are on board two different deployment enables for L9658 and L9654. When these pins are asserted, L9658/L9654 are able to turn on its high (SQH) and low side (SQL) drivers upon receiving a valid deployment command or a MOS diagnostic request. When a deployment is initiated, it cant be terminated, except during a reset event.
UM0178 4 Hardware Daisy chain configuration Arming SPI interface shall support a daisy-chain configuration. In this configuration, the processor can send arming commands to multiple L9658 devices without having to use additional pins. The functioning is underline in the following figure: Figure 6.
UM0178 4 Hardware Figure 7. Arming jumpers location Squib and deployment drivers The on-chip deployment drivers are designed to deliver 1.2A (min.) at 6.9V VRES. Deployment current is be 1.2A (min.) for 2ms (min.). The high side driver can survives deployment with 1.47A, 40V at VRES and SQL is shorted to ground for 2.5ms.
UM0178 4 Hardware 4.7.2 Functional description The Airbag Eva Board supports up to 12 squibs. Upon receiving a valid deployment condition, the respective SQH and SQL drivers are turned on. SQH and SQL drivers are also turned on momentarily during a MOS diagnostic. Otherwise, SQH and SQL are inactive under any normal, fault, or transient conditions.

J16-J19 Power supply The MB467 Airbag Eva Board is supplied using an external 12V supply. All other required voltages (5V, 8V and 35V) are provided by the on-board Power Regulator. A connected microcontroller board can also be supplied via the V pins available on the CPU board connector (5V, 200mA).
UM0178 4 Hardware A soft start function (C ) of V linear regulator can be obtained by closing jumper J46. slew Closing J46 connect an external capacitor to the C pin of the SPR producing a linear slew voltage ramp at the start-up. The SPR uses this linear voltage to limit the slew rate of the output.
UM0178 4 Hardware Figure 9. Power supply jumpers location J23-25 J48-50 J31-33 Reset Power on reset is driven by the L4998 Safety Power Regulator (SPR). The SPR provides an output (RST) to indicate the regulation status of VCC. The RST output is asserted low whenever VCC falls below its low voltage threshold or VCC rises above its over-voltage threshold.
