Hardware Overview
How does it work?
PROFET 2 Click - 3A is based on the BTS7080-2EP, a dual-channel, smart high-side power switch with embedded protection and diagnosis features from Infineon Technologies. The BTS7080-2EP has a driving capability suitable for 3A loads and is equipped with "ReverseON" functionality, which causes the power transistor to switch on in reverse polarity. It also offers outstanding energy efficiency with reduced current consumption, state-of-art current sense accuracy, and faster switching/slew rate with no impact on EMC, making it suitable for resistive, inductive, and capacitive loads, replacement of electromechanical relays, fuses, and discrete circuits, and many more. This Click board™ uses five digital pins for direct control. The input pins IN0 and IN1, routed to the PWM and INT pins of the mikroBUS™ socket, activate the corresponding output channels labeled VOUT0
and VOUT1. Also, the Diagnosis Enable (DEN) pin routed to the CS pin of the mikroBUS™ socket controls the diagnosis and protection circuitry. Combined with IN pins, it enables the selection of appropriate operating states: Sleep, Stand-by, and Active Mode. The BTS7080-2EP is protected against overtemperature, overload, reverse power supply(GND and VIN are reverse supplied), and overvoltage. Overtemperature and overload protection work when the device is not in Sleep mode, while overvoltage protection works in all operation modes. For diagnosis purposes, the BTS7080-2EP combines digital and analog signals at the AN pin of the mikroBUS™ socket. Besides, the Diagnosis Selection DSEL pin, routed to the RST pin of the mikroBUS™ socket, selects the channel on which a diagnosis will be performed. The PROFET 2 Click supports an external power
supply for the BTS7080-2EP, which can be connected to the input terminal labeled as VIN and should be within the range of 4.1V to 28V. VIN has an undervoltage detection circuit, which prevents the activation of the power output stages and diagnosis if the applied voltage is below the undervoltage threshold. A power supply indication, red LED labeled as VIN, indicates the presence of an external power supply. This Click board™ can be operated only with a 3.3V logic voltage level. The board must perform appropriate logic voltage level conversion before using MCUs with different logic levels. Also, it comes equipped with a library containing functions and an example code that can be used as a reference for further development.
Features overview
Development board
Curiosity PIC32 MZ EF development board is a fully integrated 32-bit development platform featuring the high-performance PIC32MZ EF Series (PIC32MZ2048EFM) that has a 2MB Flash, 512KB RAM, integrated FPU, Crypto accelerator, and excellent connectivity options. It includes an integrated programmer and debugger, requiring no additional hardware. Users can expand
functionality through MIKROE mikroBUS™ Click™ adapter boards, add Ethernet connectivity with the Microchip PHY daughter board, add WiFi connectivity capability using the Microchip expansions boards, and add audio input and output capability with Microchip audio daughter boards. These boards are fully integrated into PIC32’s powerful software framework, MPLAB Harmony,
which provides a flexible and modular interface to application development a rich set of inter-operable software stacks (TCP-IP, USB), and easy-to-use features. The Curiosity PIC32 MZ EF development board offers expansion capabilities making it an excellent choice for a rapid prototyping board in Connectivity, IOT, and general-purpose applications.

Application Output via Debug Mode
1. Once the code example is loaded, pressing the "DEBUG" button initiates the build process, programs it on the created setup, and enters Debug mode.
2. After the programming is completed, a header with buttons for various actions within the IDE becomes visible. Clicking the green "PLAY" button starts reading the results achieved with the Click board™. The achieved results are displayed in the Application Output tab.

/*!
* @file main.c
* @brief PROFET 2 3A Click Example.
*
* # Description
* This example showcases the ability of the PROFET 2 3A Click board.
* It configures Host MCU for communication and then enables
* and disables output channel. Besides that, it reads the voltage
* of IS pin and calculates current on output for the channel 0.
*
* The demo application is composed of two sections :
*
* ## Application Init
* Initialization of the communication modules(ADC and UART)
* and additional pins for controlling the device.
*
* ## Application Task
* On every iteration of the task device switches between
* DIAGNOSTIC and OFF mode while it reads the voltage of IS pin
* and with that calculates current on output for channel 0.
*
* @note
* Formula for calculating current on load:
* I_load = voltage(IS) x kILIS(1800) / rsens(1.2 kΩ)
*
* Click board won't work properly on the PIC18F97J94 MCU card.
