STEVAL-IFP021V1, 5V/12V Power Line Protection Evaluation Board based on STEF05 and STEF12 Electronic Fuses

Description

• STEVAL-IFP021V1, Demonstration Board is based on the STEF05 and STEF12 electronic fuses (E-Fuses). It is designed to help users evaluate the benefit of the complete protection offered by the E-Fuse family and to customize their own application. The E-Fuse family of hot-swap converters is designed to replace the mechanical fuses on low voltage power lines. The STEF05 and STEF12 are integrated electronic fuses optimized for monitoring output current and input voltage. Connected in series to the 5V/12V rails, they are capable of protecting the electronic circuitry on the output from overcurrent and overvoltage. The turn-on time is programmable by means of an external capacitor, allowing control of the inrush current at startup and during hot-swaps
