Evaluation Board Features
This document describes the NCV7471 EVB board for the
ON Semiconductor NCV7471 System basis chip with a
high−speed CAN and two LIN transceivers with boost−buck
converter and low−drop voltage regulator. The functionality
and major parameters can be evaluated with the NCV7471
EVB board.
NCV7471 is a System Basis Chip (SBC) integrating
functions typically found in automotive Electronic Control
Units (ECUs) in the body domain. NCV7471 provides and
monitors the low−voltage power supplies for the application
microcontroller and other loads, monitors the application
software via a watchdog and includes high−speed CAN and
LIN transceivers allowing the ECU to host multiple
communication nodes or to act as a gateway unit. The
on−chip state controller ensures safe power−up sequence
and supports low−power modes with a configurable set of
features including wakeup from the communication buses
or by a local digital signal WU. The status of several
NCV7471 internal blocks can be read by the microcontroller
through the serial peripheral interface or can be used to
generate an interrupt request.

OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES
NCV7471 is complex SCB device, which needs external
MCU, connected through H1 connector, to control all
functions and settings. However, with basic function of the
converter, LIN and CAN operation, NCV7471 may work in
so called Software Development Mode (SWDM). To
configure NCV7471 into this mode, SWDM pin has to be
tight to VS. Details about board configuration can be found
in the following chapter.
Behavior of NCV7174 in Software Development mode is
following:
•
Buck converter is active, delivering +5 V on VOUT.
•
Boost converter may be disabled/enabled by connecting
CFG pin to GND/VS (“−”/“+” positions of CFG
soldering strap)
•
VOUT2 LDO is disabled by default

•
CAN transceiver is configured into LIN Normal mode
– receiver and transmitter are enabled.
•
LIN1/2 transceiver is configured into LIN Normal
mode – receiver and transmitter are enabled.
•
Watchdog does not need to be served, the device
remains in Normal mode, until it is changed via SPI
command.
•
RSTN, INTN, VOUT_UVN, FSO1−3 provide their
standard functionality, except of RSTN and FSO1−3
pins, which are not active due to not−serving the
watchdog.
Board Configuration
The NCV7471 evaluation board provides few hardware
configuration options, using soldering straps. Their
functions are described in the table below.
Special care has to be taken for Standby or Sleep mode
quiescent consumption measurements. Both SWDM and
CFG pins have internal pull−down resistors (typ. 100 kW),
which influence input supply current if they are connected
to VS (typically Software Development Mode with Boost
stage enabled). To measure pure NCV7471 consumption,
these pins should stay Low (GND) or may be pulled up by
external voltage source.
Four on−board LEDs indicate faulty states of the board, as
described in the Table 4.

Function
Indicates activation of RSTN pin due to the following reasons:
•
Sleep/Fail−safe mode (LED_RSTN off due to missing VOUT supply),
•
Reset mode (internal or external activation) (5 ms on)
Indicates activation of INTN pin due to the following reasons:
•
Sleep/Fail−safe mode (LED_INTN off due to missing VOUT supply),
•
Wake−up event (CAN, LIN1/2, WU, Timer) – configurable via SPI
•
Interrupt request – has to be enabled via SPI (1 ms on, 5 ms off)
Indicates activation of VOUT_UVN pin due to the following reasons:
•
Sleep/Fail−safe mode (LED_UVN off due to missing VOUT supply),
•
Undervoltage on VOUT pin (VOUT < 4.65 V)
FSOx pin active due to failure condition (depends on CFG and SPI configuration):
•
Thermal Shutdown
•
Fatal VOUT failure
•
RSTN clamped Low / High
•
Watchdog failure (ignored if SWDM is High)
•
SPI control bit FSO_ON is set

External Board Connections
Configuration with and without the control MCU is
shown in the figures below. SWDM and CFG soldering
straps need to be configured to work correctly in both setups.
For basic evaluation, the board may operate without
external control in the Software Development Mode
(Figure 3). If full functionality is needed, an external
microcontroller has to be attached to the board (Figure 4).
