The STEVAL-DIGAFEV1 evaluation board from STMicroelectronics enables designers to evaluate the performance of the TSC1641, a 16-bit, high-precision current and power monitor which has a MIPI I3C/I2C interface.
The board can measure voltage up to 60 V, a load current up to 10 A, and die temperature. The current measurement can be high-side, low-side and bidirectional. Analogue filters can be implemented on the board.
Pull-ups can be enabled and disabled for I2C/I3C communication to allow power consumption to be optimized. The relevant address can be selected on the board with jumpers.
The board is supplied ready for use in stand-alone mode, or can be connected to a NUCLEO-L476RG or NUCLEO-H503RB board with an STM32 microcontroller, which enables further signal processing and communication with a PC. Graphical user interface software, the STSW-DIGAFEV1GUI, to configure the TSC1641 and STSW-DIGAFEV1FW sample firmware are available for the NUCLEO-H503RB MCU board, which supports MIPI I3C communication.
