Specific CAN-Controlled Brushless Motor Evaluation Board
AEK-MOT-3P99081 Series

The AEK-MOT-3P99081 evaluation board is based on the SPC560P Pictus 32-bit MCU and the L9908 gate driver allowing the control of 6 N-channel FETs for brushless motors in automotive applications.

The AEK-MOT-3P99081 supports independent encoder inputs and Hall sensors to detect and control motor speed.

The L9908 independently controls each N-channel FET through a dedicated PWM input pin. L9908 configuration, protection and diagnostic functions are controlled via SPI by the SPC560P microcontroller.

Digitally Controlled LED Driver Board for Automotive Lighting Applications
AEK-LED-21DISM1 Series

The AEK-LED-21DISM1 LED driver board is designed for high brightness automotive LED front lighting applications according to the AutoDevKit initiative. It can control four LED strings through two embedded L99LD21 flexible LED drivers with high efficiency boost controller and two embedded buck converters.

The boost controller section in each L99LD21 LED driver integrates a high current gate driver for an external N-channel MOSFET and delivers a constant output voltage to two integrated buck converters. The boost controller of two devices can be stacked to allow dual phase operation for high power applications, with an interleaving pattern for improved input current ripple and current load sharing. The buck converter integrates an N-channel MOSFET driven by a bootstrap circuit. The board uses SPI communication with an external microcontroller via a 12-pin male connector, and a special Limp Home Mode implemented in the L99LD21 driver ensures that active communication with the MCU is regularly monitored.
