Infineon Technologies BTS50025-1TEA Shield for Arduino

Infineon Technologies BTS50025-1TEA Shield for Arduino provides a simple and easy-to-use user interface for getting familiar with BTS50025-1TEA high side switch running on PC. This shield comes with four samples of the BTS50025-1TEA switches to drive four different loads. The BTS50025-1TEA switch is a low ohmic smart high side power switch that is available in a DPAK package. This shield can be used in stand-alone mode or controlled by an Arduino board or Arm® powered XMC™ microcontroller kits using the Arduino form factor. The BTS50025-1TEA shield comes with test points for each input control, each current sense, and each output.

Features

  • Evaluates the BTS50025-1TEA driving a specific load
  • Comes with four BTS50025-1TEA switches
  • Checks the BTS50025-1TEA behavior using PWM signals generated by the Arduino board
  • Captures the current profiles of the driven loads on the Arduino
  • Each BTS50025-1TEA can be independently controlled from the Arduino digital connector (D9 to D12)
  • The load current sensed by each BTS50025-1TEA can be sampled by the Arduino on the analog connector (A0 to A3)
  • Output voltage, input logic, and analog current feedback can be measured externally with test points
  • Test points for each input control, each current sense, and each output
  • Easy plug of scope probes to monitor signals on the board
  • Compatible with Infineon XMC1100 boot kit and the Arduino UNO
  • Provides a continuous current of up to 25A to 4 different loads (12V)
  • An LED will turn ON to indicate that BTS50025-1TEA is switched ON

Applications

  • Automotive:
    • Starter relay in “start-stop” systems
    • Electric brake vacuum pumps
    • Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) heating systems
    • Glow plugs
  • Robot applications:
    • 12V DC motor drives with up to 4 motors that offer up to 20A each
  • 3D printer:
    • Heating elements control (heating plate and heating resistance)
    • Protected 12V supply for control boards
