Product details

Overview

X-NUCLEO-IPS02A1 from STMicroelectronics is a 24 V intelligent power switch expansion board based on the dual-channel high-side driver VPS2535H, designed for grounded-load control in STM32 Nucleo development systems. It operates from 8–36 V, delivers up to 42 A current limit per channel, and features 35 mΩ R_ON at 25 °C, -40 °C to +150 °C operating temperature, and multisense analog feedback for real-time load monitoring.

For engineers reviewing the X-NUCLEO-IPS02A1 datasheet, X-NUCLEO-IPS02A1 pinout, X-NUCLEO-IPS02A1 application, or X-NUCLEO-IPS02A1 equivalent, this board enables rapid prototyping of industrial-grade load switching-especially where Arduino UNO R3 and STM32 Nucleo compatibility, thermal/overcurrent protection, and analog current/voltage feedback are required.

Technical Context

The X-NUCLEO-IPS02A1 implements two independent high-side power switches using the VPS2535H IC, which integrates current limiting (42 A), thermal shutdown, and latched fault behavior. Its CMOS-compatible 3 V/5 V interface allows direct connection to STM32 GPIOs without level-shifting.

It provides multisense analog feedback (V_SENSE) proportional to load current and supply voltage, enabling closed-loop monitoring via ADC. Power OK and output status LEDs support visual diagnostics during evaluation and integration.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
Operating Voltage Range	8 V to 36 V - supports wide-input industrial and automotive battery-supplied systems.
Current Limit (per Channel)	42 A - enables driving high-power loads like solenoids, pumps, and heating elements.
R_ON (per Channel)	35 mΩ @ 25 °C - minimizes conduction loss and self-heating under full load.
Standby Current	2 µA - ensures ultra-low quiescent power in sleep or idle states.
Operating Temperature	-40 °C to +150 °C - rated for under-hood or industrial ambient conditions.
Interface Compatibility	3 V / 5 V CMOS - directly interfaces with STM32 GPIOs and Arduino UNO R3 headers.

FAQ

Is X-NUCLEO-IPS02A1 compatible with all STM32 Nucleo boards?

Yes - it uses the standardized Arduino UNO R3 footprint and ST morpho headers, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility with all STM32 Nucleo boards featuring those connectors, including NUCLEO-F401RE, NUCLEO-L476RG, and NUCLEO-H743ZI2.

What protection features does the VPS2535H provide on this board?

The VPS2535H delivers overcurrent limiting (42 A), thermal shutdown, and latch-off fault behavior. It also includes reverse-battery protection and open-load detection, all implemented in silicon without external components.

Can I monitor load current and supply voltage simultaneously using the analog feedback?

Yes - the multisense output provides a single analog voltage proportional to both load current and V_CC, allowing simultaneous estimation of both parameters using one ADC input and documented scaling equations from the VPS2535H datasheet.

Does this board require external power or is it powered via the Nucleo board?

It draws logic power (3.3 V or 5 V) from the Nucleo board's Arduino header but requires an independent 8–36 V external supply for the high-side power path - no power is sourced from the Nucleo for the switched load.
