Aliso Viejo, CA (October 3, 2024) – Holt Integrated Circuits today announced the introduction of ADK-84216, a development kit designed to demonstrate the features of Holt’s recently announced programmable 16-channel low side driver, HI-84216. This device was designed to drive a wide variety of loads, such as LED dimmers, relays, solenoids, valves, actuators, small DC motors and incandescent lamps operating in high reliability aerospace and defense environments. It uses a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) for intelligent switch control, monitoring and advanced diagnostics.

The kit consists of a 2-board assembly, comprising a lower MCU board with ARM Cortex M3 16-/32-bit microprocessor and debug interface, and an upper HI-84216 daughtercard to demonstrate the key features of the device. Eclipse C project reference code is already loaded on the Cortex M3 to enable out of the box operation without installing or running any software development tools. The project source code is included and easily customized to provide a starting point for customer application software development, shortening design cycles, reducing risk and decreasing time to market.
The default board configuration sets the overcurrent thresholds to the maximum and the undercurrent thresholds to the minimum, configures short circuit fault protection and enables all interrupts. Examples are given to demonstrate common application needs, such as:
“For many years Holt has provided customers with development kits to demonstrate product capabilities and features,” said Sean Sleicher, Director of Business Development at Holt Integrated Circuits. “Kits include full project software and source files and are operational right out of the box without installing or running software development tools, giving customers a starting point for software development.”
