SolidSwitch 3 Click Board
SolidSwitch 3 Click Board
The SolidSwitch 3 Click Board™ is a compact add-on board that contains a load switching device. This board features the BD8LB600FS-C, an automotive eight-channel low-side switch from Rohm Semiconductor. Every switch is controlled via an SPI interface and includes an N-channel MOSFET that supports a maximum current of 1A. The BD8LB600FS-C also has built-in protection circuits, namely the overcurrent, the thermal shutdown, the open-load detection, and the voltage lock-out circuits. Moreover, this device also possesses a diagnostic output function during abnormal detection. This Click board™ is suitable for driving resistive, inductive, and capacitive loads.
The SolidSwitch 3 Click Board™ is supported by a mikroSDK compliant library, which includes functions that simplify software development. This Click board™ comes as a fully tested product, ready to be used on a system equipped with the mikroBUS™ socket.
Software Support
We provide a library for the SolidSwitch 3 Click Board™ as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.
The package can be downloaded/installed directly from NECTO Studio The package Manager (recommended), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on MikroE Github account.
Library Description
This library contains API for the SolidSwitch 3 Click Board™ driver.
Key functions
-
solidswitch3_enable_output
This function enables the specified output channel. -
solidswitch3_disable_output
This function disables the specified output channel. -
solidswitch3_reset
This function resets the device by toggling the reset pin.
Example Description
This example demonstrates the use of the SolidSwitch 3 Click Board™ by controlling the output state.
void application_task ( void )
{
for ( uint16_t cnt = SOLIDSWITCH3_CH_OUT1; cnt <= SOLIDSWITCH3_CH_OUT8; cnt <<= 1 )
{
if ( SOLIDSWITCH3_OK == solidswitch3_enable_output ( &solidswitch3, cnt ) )
{
solidswitch3_display_enabled_channels( &solidswitch3 );
Delay_ms ( 1000 );
}
}
if ( SOLIDSWITCH3_OK == solidswitch3_disable_output ( &solidswitch3, SOLIDSWITCH3_ALL_CHANNELS ) )
{
solidswitch3_display_enabled_channels( &solidswitch3 );
Delay_ms ( 3000 );
}
}
The full application code, and ready to use projects can be installed directly from NECTO Studio The package Manager (recommended), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on MikroE Github account.
Other MikroE Libraries used in the example:
- MikroSDK.Board
- MikroSDK.Log
- Click.SolidSwitch3
Additional Notes and Information
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need USB UART click, USB UART 2 Click or RS232 Click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. UART terminal is available in all MikroElektronika compilers.
MIKROSDK
The SolidSwitch 3 Click Board™ is supported with mikroSDK - MikroElektronika Software Development Kit. To ensure proper operation of mikroSDK compliant Click board™ demo applications, mikroSDK should be downloaded from the LibStock and installed for the compiler you are using.
