SolidSwitch 6 Click is a compact add-on board for reliable load management in automotive power distribution systems. This board features the VNF1048F, a high-side switch controller with intelligent e-fuse protection from STMicroelectronics. This board supports an input voltage range of 6V to 48V, controls external MOSFET, and offers essential protection features such as overcurrent, under-voltage, and thermal shutdown, with diagnostic feedback via SPI. It also includes an NTC resistor for monitoring MOSFET temperature and operates with either 3.3V or 5V logic levels.
We provide a library for the SolidSwitch 6 Click as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.
Package can be downloaded/installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.
This library contains API for SolidSwitch 6 Click driver.
solidswitch6_cfg_setup
Config Object Initialization function. solidswitch6_init
Initialization function. solidswitch6_default_cfg
Click Default Configuration function. solidswitch6_get_vout
This function reads the raw ADC value and converts it to a proportional voltage level using the SPI serial interface. solidswitch6_set_control
This function writes control registers to configure the switch controller using the SPI serial interface. solidswitch6_get_device_temp
This function reads the raw ADC value and converts it to device temperature in degrees Celsius using the SPI serial interface. This library contains API for the SolidSwitch 6 Click driver and demonstrate uses of the high-side switch controller with intelligent fuse protection.
The demo application is composed of two sections :
The initialization of the SPI module and log UART. After driver initialization, the app sets the default configuration.
The demo application reads and displays the device temperature and voltage level of the current sense amplifier, NTC, and output voltage measurement. Results are being sent to the UART Terminal, where you can track their changes.
The full application code, and ready to use projects can be installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.

Additional notes and informations
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need USB UART click, USB UART 2 Click or RS232 Click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. UART terminal is available in all MikroElektronika compilers.
