The 24V Protected Switch Shield with BTT6030-2EKA and BTT6020-1EKA is a power switch evaluation board compatible with Arduino microcontroller boards and with Infineon’s XMC™ microcontroller kits using the Arduino form factor.

The shield is equipped with three PROtected high-side power MOSFETs out of the PROFET™+ 24V family (2x BTT6030-2EKA , 1x BTT6020-1EKA ) offering five 24 V channels in total. Infineon’s PROFET™+ 24V protected high-side switches (BTT6xxx) drive resistive, capacitive as well as inductive loads (e.g. truck bulbs, car bulbs, valves, motors, relays, capacitors, LEDs…). The power switches are controlled via the INx (input) pins. The PROFET™+ 24V devices also provide a sense current at the IS pin, which can be enabled via the DEN (Diagnosis ENable) pin. For the two channel devices the sensed channel is selected via the DSEL (Diagnosis SELect) pin. For each device the sense signal (IS) is connected to an own ADC channel of the microcontroller.

The 24V Protected Switch Shield provides a fast and easy access to drive up to five 24 V loads with a nominal current of 4 A to 5 A each.

Applications:

• Drive resistive, capacitive and inductive loads with PWM or DC
  • 8 ~ 36 V nominal input voltage (max. 5 ~ 48 V)
  • Nominal current up to 5 A per channel restricted due to PCB (BTT6020-1EKA nominal current: 7 A)
  • E.g. truck bulbs, valves, motors, relays
