ST X-NUCLEO-OUT08A1, User Manual

Page: 1 / 15

Introduction
The X-NUCLEO-OUT08A1 industrial digital output expansion board for STM32 Nucleo provides a powerful and flexible
evaluation and development environment for 2 A (typ.) digital output modules, featuring the safe driving and smart diagnostic
capabilities of the
IPS160HF single high-side switch.
The X-NUCLEO-OUT08A1 interfaces with the microcontroller on the STM32 Nucleo via 3 kV optocouplers driven by GPIO pins
and Arduino™ UNO R3 (default configuration) and ST morpho (optional, not mounted) connectors.
The expansion board should be connected to either a NUCLEO-F401RE or NUCLEO-G431RB development board, and can
also be stacked with another X-NUCLEO-OUT08A1 or X-NUCLEO-OUT10A1 .
Two X-NUCLEO-OUT08A1 expansion boards allows you to evaluate a dual channel digital output module with 2 A (typ.)
capability each, or a 2 A (typ.) single channel safety digital output module. In the second scenario, the first shield output is
connected to the supply of the second one. Dedicated on-board hardware can be enabled or disabled to activate fast discharge
of high capacitive loads, output voltage sensing and additional surge pulse output line protection.
