Product details

Overview

X-NUCLEO-OUT08A1 from STMicroelectronics is an industrial digital output expansion board for STM32 Nucleo platforms, built around the IPS160HF single high-side switch. It delivers 2.4 A (max) switching capability at up to 60 V, features 3 kV galvanic isolation via optocouplers, open-load and thermal diagnostics, and supports stacked quad-channel evaluation with Arduino™ UNO R3 and ST morpho connectors.

For engineers reviewing the X-NUCLEO-OUT08A1 datasheet, X-NUCLEO-OUT08A1 pinout, X-NUCLEO-OUT08A1 application, or X-NUCLEO-OUT08A1 equivalent, this board enables rapid prototyping of safety-critical industrial digital outputs-especially where diagnostic feedback, reverse-polarity protection, and cascade-capable safe driving are required in PLC I/O modules or functional-safety tooling.

Technical Context

The board implements a single-channel high-side driver architecture using the IPS160HF IC, which integrates current sensing, thermal shutdown, and open-load detection. Its optocoupled GPIO interface (ACPL-217-50AE) ensures 3 kV isolation between MCU and load side, while configurable jumpers (J1, J14) enable extended voltage operation (up to 60 V) and fast discharge control.

Dedicated hardware supports safety-critical functions: surge pulse protection (SM15T10AY), reverse polarity protection (BAT41ZFILM), ESD hardening (ESDA15P60-1U1M), and analog feedback (OUT_FB) for real-time voltage monitoring. The board operates natively from 12–33 V but scales to 60 V when J1 is open.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
Max Output Current	2.4 A continuous - supports industrial solenoids, valves, and contactors without external heatsinking
Operating Voltage Range	12–33 V standard; up to 60 V with J1 open - enables compatibility with wide-range industrial power rails
Galvanic Isolation	3 kV RMS - meets IEC 61000-4-5 surge immunity requirements for industrial environments
Diagnostic Feedback	Open-load, overload, and thermal fault reporting via dedicated DIAG pin and status LED - enables real-time health monitoring
Protection Features	Reverse polarity, surge (IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3), ESD (±15 kV HBM), and thermal shutdown - reduces field failure risk
Connector Standard	Arduino™ UNO R3 + ST morpho - ensures plug-and-play integration with STM32 Nucleo-F401RE and Nucleo-G431RB boards

FAQ

What microcontroller boards is X-NUCLEO-OUT08A1 compatible with?

The board is designed for direct stacking with NUCLEO-F401RE and NUCLEO-G431RB development boards. It uses Arduino™ UNO R3 headers by default and supports optional ST morpho connector routing. Stacking up to four units enables quad-channel evaluation, and cascading is supported for safety architecture validation.

Does X-NUCLEO-OUT08A1 support functional safety certification?

Yes-it is engineered for Safety Digital Output Architecture with diagnostic capabilities including open-load detection, thermal shutdown, and overload flagging. While the board itself is not certified to IEC 61508 or ISO 13849, its design aligns with SIL2/PLd requirements when integrated into validated system-level architectures.

How is load voltage feedback implemented on this board?

Voltage feedback is provided via the OUT_FB pin, routed to PA9 on the Nucleo board. This analog signal reflects the switched output voltage and enables software-based monitoring of load status, open-circuit conditions, and supply rail integrity without additional external circuitry.

Can X-NUCLEO-OUT08A1 drive inductive loads safely?

Yes-the IPS160HF IC includes fast decay circuitry specifically for inductive loads, and the board integrates snubber components and surge protection (SM15T10AY) to suppress flyback transients. Diagnostics confirm proper turn-off and detect short-circuit or overcurrent events during switching transitions.
