The EV18H47 (MCS MCLV-48V-300W) inverter board provides a platform for evaluating and prototyping motor control designs using the dsPIC33AK family. The board is designed to interface with motor control dual-in-line modules (DIMs) such as the EV67N21A, which houses the dsPIC33AK512MC510 DSC.
The STEVAL-MKI243A is an adapter board designed to facilitate the evaluation of the ASM330LHHXG1 6-axis IMU (inertial measurement unit) in automotive applications. The board offers an effective solution for fast system prototyping and device evaluation directly within the user’s own application.
The STEVAL-MKI243A can be plugged into a standard DIL24 socket. The adapter provides the complete ASM330LHHXG1 pinout and comes ready to use with the required decoupling capacitors on the VDD power supply line.
This adapter is supported by the STEVAL-MKI109D evaluation platform, which includes a high-performance 32-bit microcontroller functioning as a bridge between the sensor and a PC, on which it is possible to use the downloadable MEMS Studio graphical user interface or dedicated software routines for customized applications.
The AEK-POW-BMSCC is a compact battery management system module based on the L9963E, optimized for easy mounting in battery packs. It can be used in a centralized daisy-chain as an intermediate node, where the first node is an AEK-POW-BMSCCTX. As an intermediate node, the AEK-POW-BMSCC can be part of a chain of up to 31 BMS nodes.
Each module monitors between 4 and 14 cells and can serve as an intermediate node in a daisy chain of up to 31 BMS nodes. The board provides voltage, current, and temperature sensing for each cell, enabling precise State-of-Charge estimation and cell balancing across the pack. Part of ST’s AutoDevKit ecosystem, the AEK-POW-BMSCC allows engineers to quickly prototype scalable, high-voltage battery management solutions with support for functional safety and real-time monitoring.
Renesas offers the EK-RA8P1 evaluation kit to support development with the RA8P1 MCU. This kit includes an RA8P1 board with on-board J-Link debugger and connectors for Ethernet, USB, audio, and displays, plus a 7-inch capacitive-touch LCD and 5MP camera module for human-machine interface and vision demos.
The EK-RA8P1 comes pre-loaded with example projects showcasing the MCU 1GHz performance in voice recognition, image capture, and real-time analytics, allowing engineers to rapidly evaluate RA8P1 features using the Renesas FSP middleware and e²Studio IDE.
The EVLSPIN32G0A1 evaluation board from STMicroelectronics provides a hardware platform for assessing the STSPIN32G0A1 integrated motor-control system in three-phase brushless dc (BLDC) motor applications.
The board operates from a supply range of 7V to 45V, and includes a power stage built from six STD140N6F7 MOSFETs which conduct up to 15Arms of continuous current. A three-shunt sensing topology is implemented to support high-performance field-oriented control and 6-step drive algorithms.
The board integrates voltage monitoring, PCB temperature sensing, an over-current comparator and under-voltage checks on driver supplies, enabling evaluation of the protection functions without external hardware. Digital Hall sensor and encoder inputs are provided for rotor position feedback, and bus voltage measurement is available for control loop implementation.
The onboard regulators supply 3.3V and 12V rails for the integrated microcontroller and gate driver.
An embedded ST-LINK/V2-1 interface allows programming, debugging and UART communication through a Virtual COM port. User inputs include buttons and a potentiometer for speed and parameter adjustment during motor testing. When used with the STM32 Motor Control SDK, the board supports development and verification of control firmware for power tools, small appliances, fans, robotics and other low- to mid-power BLDC motor drives.
The X-NUCLEO-IKS5A1 integrates five sensors covering distinct measurement domains, bringing them into a single timing domain to simplify multi-sensor alignment and to support applications that require coherent motion, vibration, and environmental data. The solution includes:
The platform makes these industrial sensors accessible to developers using an STM32 microcontroller through its Nucleo-compatible interface and the ST software ecosystem. Onboard features such as sensor hub support, finite state machines, and machine learning cores allow initial data processing directly at the sensor, reducing the computation workload on the host processor. The ST MEMS-Studio and X-CUBE-MEMS1 software support configuration, acquisition control, and parameter visualization for simplified development and analysis.
Detachable add-on modules provide additional connectors, and support distributed sensing layouts for either the STEVAL-MKGI07A microcontroller board or the main X-NUCLEO-IND5A1 board.
