STMicroelectronics

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.

Power Integrations

The RDR-1016 reference design board from Power Integrations implements a flyback converter which provides a dual isolated output voltage of 12V at 2A, and 5V at 500mA, from a wide input-voltage range of 85V to 265V ac. The power supply is based on the TNY5073K flyback converter, a member of the TinySwitch-5 family of ICs. 

The board achieves peak efficiency of at least 87% at full load with a 230V ac input. Average efficiency across the load range is at least 85%. 

The RDR-1016 conforms to the requirements of the CISPR22B/EN55022B standards for conducted EMI emissions. It is specified for operation at an ambient-temperature range of 0°C to 40°C with free-air convection cooling.

STMicroelectronics

The STM32N6570-DK Discovery kit is a complete demonstration and development platform for the Arm® Cortex®‑M55 core‑based STM32N6 series microcontrollers from STMicroelectronics. These MCUs include an ST Neural-ART Accelerator, a neural processing unit (NPU) for accelerating AI inference, making this kit the ideal tool for developing proofs-of-concept and prototypes of AI-enhanced product designs. 

The kit includes a full range of hardware features for evaluating the wide range of peripherals supported by the STM32N6 MCUs. Four flexible extension connectors provide expansion capabilities for functions such as wireless connectivity, analog signal processing, and sensing.

The STM32N6570-DK Discovery kit integrates an STLINK-V3EC embedded in-circuit debugger and programmer for the STM32 MCU, with a USB Virtual COM port bridge and a comprehensive MCU software package.

STMicroelectronics

The STEVAL-MKI248KA kit from STMicroelectronics consists of a generic DIL24 adapter board, the STEVAL-MKIGIBV5, a flat cable, and a square PCB on which is mounted the ISM6HG256X six-axis IMU.

The sensor is soldered precisely in the center of the square PCB, making it easy to mount the board on prototype equipment.

STEVAL-MKIGIBV5 board can be plugged into a standard DIL-24 socket. The kit supports the complete ISM6HG256X pin-out, and comes ready to use with the required decoupling capacitors on the power-supply line.

The kit is complemented by the STEVAL-MKI109D evaluation platform, which includes a high-performance 32-bit microcontroller: this functions as a bridge between the sensor and a PC, on which engineers can use the downloadable MEMS Studio graphical user interface, or dedicated software routines for custom applications.

STMicroelectronics

The SATEL-VL53L8 package for the VL53L8 family of time-of-flight (ToF) sensors from STMicroelectronics includes two breakout boards which can easily be integrated into a customer’s devices.

The PCB section which includes the VL53L8 ToF sensor module is perforated. The developer can break off the mini-PCB and use it in an application with a 3.3V supply via flying wires. It is easy to integrate the SATEL-VL53L8 breakout boards into devices under development thanks to their small size.

The breakout boards support two products in the VL53L8 family, the VL53L8CX and VL53L8CH 8×8 multi-zone ToF ranging sensors. They are compatible with the X-NUCLEO-53L8A1 ToF expansion board.
