STMicroelectronics

STMicroelectronics has implemented a simple and innovative ac-dc front-end circuit which enables the designer to perform inrush current limitation in any converter that has an input rectifier bridge topology.

The EVLPWD5T60 from STMicroelectronics is a 3-phase power board which allows engineers to evaluate the features of the PWD5T60 integrated motor driver IC.

The board supports a three- or single-shunt current sensing topology. A strip connector provides an easy interface to a microcontroller motor-control board. In addition, a 34-pin ST morpho header can be used to connect the EVLPWD5T60 board to an STM32 Nucleo MCU board through the X-NUCLEO-IHM09M1 motor-control expansion board.

Key features of the board include: 

  • High-voltage rail up to 400 V dc, limited by on-board bulk capacitor
  • Peak output current up to 1.2 A 
  • Output power up to 120 W
  • Input-voltage range: 9 V to 20 V
  • Sensored or sensorless field-oriented control or 6-step algorithm
  • Hall-effect sensor connector
  • Smart shut-down over-current protection
  • Bus voltage sensing

The X-NUCLEO-DRP1M1 expansion board from STMicroelectronics enables designers to evaluate the features of the TCPP03-M20 USB Type-C® Power Delivery (PD) controller, including the ability to protect the bus- and supply-voltage lines in dual-role power (DRP) applications.

The expansion board can be stacked on top of any STM32 Nucleo-64 board which has a USB PD peripheral embedded in its microcontroller.

The X-NUCLEO-DRP1M1 demonstrates dead battery and sink operations, an integrated ST715PU33R linear regulator supplies the associated STM32 Nucleo development board. It also performs USB Type-C source operations when a compatible external source is connected to the board. In addition, the board supports dual role data functionality for sourcing devices.

The X-NUCLEO-DRP1M1 complies with the USB Type-C and USB PD 3.1 specifications for the standard power range, and is USB-IF certified as a 100 W DRP solution supporting a programmable power supply.

The companion X-CUBE-TCPP software package contains application examples for NUCLEO-G071RB and NUCLEO-G474RE development boards. These can be ported to other development boards that have USB Type-C PD-enabled MCUs.

The NUCLEO-N657X0-Q evaluation board from STMicroelectronics provides a convenient platform for proof-of-concept and prototype development using the STM32N6 series of microcontrollers, the first STM32 to include the Neural-ART Accelerator, a neural processing unit (NPU). With the on-board NPU, the STM32N6 provides 600 times more machine-learning performance than a high-end STM32 MCU today.
