Launch of scalable mainstream solution for integrated three-phase motor control
STMicroelectronics has launched the STSPIN32G0 series of integrated motor controller/drivers for brushless dc and permanent magnet synchronous motors. Combining a three-phase driver and microcontroller, the STSPIN32G0 saves space and simplifies motor designs.
The new STSPIN32G0 series from STMicroelectronics are highly integrated motor controller systems-in-package (SiPs) for driving three-phase motors.
The STSPIN32G0 SIPs integrate a gate driver rated for 250 V or 600 V and a STM32G0 microcontroller based on a 64 MHz Arm® Cortex®-M0+ core. The built-in MCU has sufficient computing power to handle popular motor algorithms such as six-step and field-oriented control (FOC).
These compact motor controllers enable motor system designers to realize designs with a substantially smaller board footprint than comparable designs based on discrete motor drivers and controllers, without compromising performance or robustness.
The four motor controllers in the STSPIN32G0 series are
STSPIN32G0251: a 250 V three-phase driver with STM32 controller. Maximum output voltage of 250 V, and gate current of 0.35 A.
STSPIN32G0252: a 250 V three-phase driver with STM32 controller. Maximum output voltage of 250 V, and gate current of 0.85 A.
STSPIN32G0601: a 600 V three-phase driver with STM32 controller. Maximum output voltage of 600 V, and gate current of 0.35 A.
STSPIN32G0602: a 600 V three-phase driver with STM32 controller. Maximum output voltage of 600 V, and gate current of 0.85 A.
All members of the STSPIN32G0 series are supported by a rich set of hardware and software resources, including the X-CUBE-MCSDK motor control software development kit (SDK). The latest version 6.3 of the SDK includes a new Workbench tool, featuring a modern user interface with a fully reworked use flow. This new UI guides the designer through every phase of the motor configuration process.
