GCORE VCU REV2.0 (2023)

My second revision to the first VCU. I've learned a lot from the first VCU, from board layout  to component choicing ive done alot to improve and impliment this version on my most recent EV project (EV V2). This will be significantly more complicated to code and will most likely take a few more months to fully get comfortable with.

Hardware Specs: 

µC: STM32G473VET6

External Winbond Flash 32Mbit

2x USB ports  ( FW updates  and CAN to USB)

TAG Connect debugger

Input Vdc: 5v-18v

5v 2a + 3.3v 2a TPS562208DDCR Buck Controller

3x  CAN FD (Flexible Data Rate )Interfaces

8x Low-side digital input 

8x Smart High-side driver outputs. More reliable for wide voltage input range

2x Low-side driver 

2x TE Connectivity 23 Pin AMP SEAL connectors (Pin Compatible)

2x 12v PWM generation via level shifter (much faster than first gen VCU)
