STMicroelectronics

The EVLSTGAP3S6S is a half-bridge evaluation board for evaluating the STGAP3S6S isolated single gate driver from STMicroelectronics.

The STGAP3S6S features a maximum 6 A current capability, rail-to-rail outputs, and optimized under-voltage lockout and desaturation protection thresholds for silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETS. It is ideal for use in high-power industrial motor drivers.

The gate driver has a single Output pin and a driver line for an external Miller clamp N-channel MOSFET: this optimizes the suppression of positive and negative gate spikes during fast commutations in half-bridge topologies.

Device protection features are connected to the recommended network on the board and can be easily evaluated through the board test points. Dual Input pins allow the selection of signal-polarity control and hardware interlocking protection to avoid cross-conduction in case of controller malfunction.

The gate driver allows negative gate driving, and the onboard isolated dc-dc converters provide an optimized drive voltage for SiC MOSFETs.

The EVSPIN32G06Q1S3 board from STMicroelectronics is a complete three-phase inverter based on the STSPIN32G0601 controller, which integrates a three‑phase 600 V gate driver and an Arm® Cortex®-M0+-based STM32 microcontroller.

Infineon

The KIT_PSC3M5_EVK is an evaluation board for the Infineon PSOC™ Control C3 family of microcontrollers. 

The kit features PSOC Control C3M5, a high-performance and low-power single-core Arm® Cortex® M33-based MCU intended for use in motor-control applications. In addition to the CPU subsystem, the chip contains advanced real-time control peripherals, such as a high-performance programmable analog subsystem, comparators, advanced timers with high-resolution capability, up to six serial communication blocks, and two CAN FD interfaces for system communication.

Renesas

The RTK-251-SinkCharger-RAA489118 from Renesas is a single-port reference design for implementing battery systems with from two to seven lithium-ion battery cells connected in series. It supports two modes: in one, power is supplied solely from the USB Type-C® port; in the other, it enables a power bank function in combination with a li-ion battery with a battery management system (BMS).

Due to losses in the cable, onboard charger, and board, the USB Power Delivery (PD) controller requires appropriate USB Type-C input levels from the USB Type-C source device to operate the battery system effectively. Switches on this evaluation board allow the selection of the number of batteries in series and the charging current.

The firmware for this evaluation board is generated using an instruction tool called VIDWriter.

STMicroelectronics

The B-G431B-ESC1 Discovery kit is based on the STM32G431CB microcontroller, the L6387 driver and STL180N6F7 power MOSFETs, all from STMicroelectronics. The kit is composed of a main power board and a daughterboard with an embedded ST-LINK/V2-1 debugger. 

The kit implements an electronic speed controller (ESC) which drives a single three-phase brushless motor performing a sensorless field-oriented control (FOC) algorithm and six-step control with speed regulation. It also provides an active braking function algorithm. The sensorless FOC algorithm ensures long operating time and optimal dynamic performance.

The Discovery kit accepts command signals from an external unit for driving and monitoring, such as a flight control board for a drone. The kit is equipped with several communication bus interfaces: UART, CAN, and PWM channels. A potentiometer and a user button are available for user control. 

The daughterboard includes a 5 V battery eliminator circuit. The main board includes over-current, over-voltage and thermal protection. 

The form factor makes this kit suitable for small and very light radio-controlled vehicles such as first-person view racing drones, while the motor-current capability fits the power requirement of larger vehicles such as prosumer drones.
