STMicroelectronics SPC560BADPT176S

Overview

SPC560BADPT176S from STMicroelectronics is a mini evaluation module designed for the SPC560B64L7 automotive microcontroller in LQFP176 package. 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. Used in automotive ECU development and functional safety prototyping.

For engineers reviewing the SPC560BADPT176S datasheet, SPC560BADPT176S pinout, SPC560BADPT176S application, or SPC560BADPT176S equivalent, this module enables rapid validation of SPC560B64L7-based designs with on-board voltage regulation (1.2 V/3.3 V/5 V), jumper-selectable peripheral configurations, and DB9 connectors for CAN/SCI physical layer testing.

Technical Context

The SPC560BADPT176S serves as a plug-in daughter card for the SPC56XXMB motherboard, enabling complete signal access to the SPC560B64L7 MCU's 176-pin LQFP interface. It routes all I/O pins to expansion headers and provides dedicated transceivers for two CAN channels (one HS-only, one jumper-selectable between HS and LS/FT) and one SCI channel.

Onboard L9758 regulator delivers three regulated supplies (1.2 V core, 3.3 V I/O, 5 V peripheral), with jumper-selectable logic level configuration for connected peripherals. The module includes four user push buttons with polarity selection, four LEDs, and a potentiometer for analog input simulation - all accessible via jumpers for flexible test setup.

FAQ

Does the SPC560BADPT176S include the SPC560B64L7 microcontroller?

No. The SPC560BADPT176S is a bare mini module - it does not include the SPC560B64L7 MCU. The microcontroller must be purchased separately and soldered onto the module before use with the SPC56XXMB motherboard. This allows users to evaluate different SPC560Bxx variants using the same board infrastructure.

What is the role of the L9758 voltage regulator on this module?

The onboard STMicroelectronics L9758 provides three independent regulated supplies: 1.2 V for the MCU core, 3.3 V for I/O banks, and 5 V for external peripherals. Its integration eliminates need for external power sequencing and supports mixed-voltage operation when interfacing with legacy automotive sensors or actuators requiring 5 V logic.

Can the SPC560BADPT176S operate independently without the SPC56XXMB motherboard?

No. The SPC560BADPT176S lacks onboard programming/debug circuitry, power entry, or clock sources. It is strictly a daughter card intended for mechanical and electrical integration with the SPC56XXMB motherboard, which provides JTAG/SWD debug, USB-to-SCI bridge, and main power distribution.

How are the CAN and LIN interfaces configured on this module?

CAN Channel 1 uses a fixed high-speed transceiver with DB9 male connector. CAN Channel 2 uses jumpers to select between high-speed or low-speed fault-tolerant transceiver modes, both terminating at a DB9 male connector. LIN Channel 1 is fully populated with transceiver and pin header; LIN Channel 2 has only footprints - components must be added manually for use.
