STMicroelectronics SPC560BADPT144S

Overview

SPC560BADPT144S from STMicroelectronics is a mini evaluation module designed for the SPC560B40L5 and SPC560B50L5 automotive microcontrollers in 144-pin LQFP packages. It interfaces with the SPC56XXMB motherboard to provide full I/O access, dual CAN (HS + LS/FT), dual LIN, SCI, user buttons/LEDs, analog potentiometer input, and configurable 3.3 V/5 V logic levels via jumpers.

For engineers reviewing the SPC560BADPT144S datasheet, SPC560BADPT144S pinout, SPC560BADPT144S application, or SPC560BADPT144S equivalent, this module enables rapid validation of power sequencing, CAN/LIN protocol stack integration, voltage-level compatibility, and peripheral bring-up for automotive body control and gateway designs.

Technical Context

The SPC560BADPT144S operates as a daughter card that mates with the SPC56XXMB motherboard, delivering direct access to all 144 pins of the target MCU via a high-density connector. Its onboard L9758 regulator supplies three stable rails-1.2 V (core), 3.3 V (I/O), and 5 V (peripheral)-with jumper-selectable logic level configuration per peripheral bank.

It supports two independent CAN channels: one fixed High-Speed (ISO 11898-2) with DB9 male connector, and one selectable between Low-Speed Fault-Tolerant (ISO 11898-3) and High-Speed via hardware jumpers; plus two LIN channels (one populated, one footprint-only) and one SCI channel with DB9 female connector.

FAQ

Is the SPC560BADPT144S sold with an MCU pre-installed?

No. The SPC560BADPT144S is a bare mini module - it does not include the SPC560B40L5 or SPC560B50L5 MCU. The target microcontroller must be purchased separately and soldered onto the module before use with the SPC56XXMB motherboard.

Can the SPC560BADPT144S operate independently without the SPC56XXMB motherboard?

No. This module lacks onboard programming interface, debug circuitry, and primary power conditioning. It requires mating with the SPC56XXMB motherboard to enable JTAG/SWD debugging, CAN/LIN transceivers, USB-to-SCI bridge, and regulated power distribution.

What logic voltage levels can be configured on the SPC560BADPT144S?

Peripherals including CAN, LIN, and SCI can be jumper-configured for either 3.3 V or 5 V logic operation to match the voltage requirements of the target MCU's I/O banks and external transceivers - critical for mixed-voltage automotive subsystem integration.

Does the SPC560BADPT144S support both CAN FD and classical CAN?

No. The onboard transceivers and routing are designed exclusively for classical CAN (ISO 11898-2 and -3). CAN FD capability is not supported - it requires different physical layer components and MCU peripheral configuration not present on this evaluation module.
