FTM 25-iv development boards

This is the standard evaluation board for the Infineon PSOC™  Control C3 family of MCU’s.

Fast-switching gallium nitride (GaN) and silicon carbide (SiC) power components enable power-system designers to reduce the size of the magnetics in ac-dc and dc-dc converters, and to realize designs which achieve high power density.

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.

The OPTIGA™ Trust M Shield from Infineon provides a convenient way to evaluate the OPTIGA Trust M family of discrete secure elements. 

It is supplied in a popular mikroBus format which makes it easy to integrate into prototype systems based on any microcontroller or microprocessor platform. The shield board can also be used with single-board computers when supported by the appropriate adapters. 

The OPTIGA Trust M Shield is compatible with the Infineon PSOC™ 62S2 Wi-Fi BT Pioneer Kit and OPTIGA Trust Adapter.

Features of the shield board include:

• Pre-provisioned TLS security certificates
• CC EAL 6+ certified hardware
• Qwiic compatible
• I2C interface with shielded connection
• Cryptographic toolbox
• Supports multiple cryptographic algorithms: ECC, RSA, AES, HMAC, HKDF, TLS PRF

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 Nexperia NEVB-MCTRL-100 BLDC motor driver kit provides a full motor drive solution for 12 V to 48 V, three-phase brushless dc (BLDC) motors. 

The kit features PCBs designed for the Nexperia NextPower MOSFET family housed in an LFPAK56 package, and the modular design allows for different motor controllers, gate drivers, MOSFETs and motors to be used. In addition, each board provides convenient test points for power, motor drive, and sensing signals to aid with development and testing with the Nexperia LFPAK56 MOSFET family. 

The motor controller board is compatible with the Leonardo R3 and Nucleo development board form factors.

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 STEVAL-A6983CV1 from STMicroelectronics is an evaluation board for testing the performance of the A6983C automotive-grade synchronous monolithic step-down regulators. The A6983C regulators are optimized for low power consumption in light-load mode.
