Hardware Overview
How does it work?
PROFET Click - 15A is based on the BTS70041EPPXUMA1, a single-channel, smart high-side power switch with an Infineon Technologies embedded protection and diagnosis feature. The BTS70041EPPXUMA1 has a driving capability suitable for 15A loads and comes equipped with "ReverseON" functionality, which causes the power transistor to switch on in case of 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 three digital pins for direct control. The input pin
marked as IN routed to the PWM pin of the mikroBUS™ socket activates the corresponding output channel labeled VOUT. 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 BTS70041EPPXUMA1 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 BTS70041EPPXUMA1 provides a combination of digital and analog signals at the AN pin of the
mikroBUS™ socket. The PROFET Click supports an external power supply for the BTS70041EPPXUMA1, 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
Nucleo 32 with STM32F031K6 MCU board provides an affordable and flexible platform for experimenting with STM32 microcontrollers in 32-pin packages. Featuring Arduino™ Nano connectivity, it allows easy expansion with specialized shields, while being mbed-enabled for seamless integration with online resources. The
board includes an on-board ST-LINK/V2-1 debugger/programmer, supporting USB reenumeration with three interfaces: Virtual Com port, mass storage, and debug port. It offers a flexible power supply through either USB VBUS or an external source. Additionally, it includes three LEDs (LD1 for USB communication, LD2 for power,
and LD3 as a user LED) and a reset push button. The STM32 Nucleo-32 board is supported by various Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) such as IAR™, Keil®, and GCC-based IDEs like AC6 SW4STM32, making it a versatile tool for developers.

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 15A Click Example.
*
* # Description
* This example showcases the ability of the PROFET 15A 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.
*
* 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.
*
* @note
* Formula for calculating current on load:
* I_load = voltage(IS) x kILIS / 1.2 kΩ
*
* Click board won't work properly on the PIC18F97J94 MCU card.
