The STEVAL-IFP028V1 evaluation board enables the IPS160H single high-side switch to be analyzed for systems compliant to SIL2 and SIL3.

The board meets application requirements for galvanic isolation between the user interface and the power interface through optical isolation implemented with two optocouplers, OPTO1 and OPT2, for forward signals to the device and for diagnostic feedback signals, respectively, in compliance with IEC 61000-4-2, IEC61000-4-4, IEC 61000-4-5 requirements.

The STEVAL-IFP028V1 can operate in the 8V to 60V range, but operation of the red LED on the DIAG pin is only ensured above 12V Vcc. Jumper J1 must be open for supply voltages above 40V to avoid permanent damage to the SMCJ40CA transient-voltage-suppression (TVS) diode.

The board optimizes thermal performance through a careful layout which includes a dedicated copper area connected to the exposed pad of the PSSO12 package, which also serves to dissipate heat.

Using your PC, you can monitor the status of the output on the power side and receive fault information from the IPS160H DIAG pin by connecting the STEVAL-PCC009V2 interface board between your PC via USB, and the STEVAL-IFP028V1 board via a 30-way flat cable. The STSW-IPS16X GUI software, is offered for free download.

The STEVAL-3603BC1 evaluation board demonstrates a synchronous step-down converter design able to deliver up to 3A output current from a 3.3V to 36V input, with a 5V output voltage. The board uses the DCP3603BCMR in the thin SOT23-6L package and shows how efficient conversion can be achieved using the converter, an inductor, two small capacitors, and two resistors. It is suitable for power conversion in major appliances, smart metering, industrial 24V bus conversion, and general-purpose wide Vin power supplies.

This 3‑phase inverter board provides a complete motor drive for prototyping high-voltage BLDC/PMSM control. It features a 650V-rated power stage capable of about 300W output and accepts between 50 and 400V dc bus input. An onboard flyback converter generates the necessary 15V and 3.3V supplies for the gate driver and MCU. The board uses single-shunt current sensing and supports both sensorless and sensored FOC or six-step control algorithms out of the box. Standard STM32 debugging and programming tools are supported via an external SWD connector on board (STLINK), and headers are provided for motor feedback. This evaluation kit helps to evaluate the STSPIN32G0602Q in real-world motor control applications.

The STEVAL-3601CV1 demonstrates a smart converter design able to deliver up to 1A output current from a 3.3 to 36V input, with a 5V output voltage. The board features the DCP3601 miniaturized synchronous step-down converter, which implements enhanced peak current control and advanced design circuitry to minimize quiescent current. The board demonstrates how highly efficient conversion can be achieved with just the DCP3601, an inductor, two small capacitors, and two resistors.

 

The board highlights key application benefits made possible by the DCP3601, including high efficiency and small PCB size, and is ideal for power conversion solutions in major appliances, smart metering, industrial 24V BUS conversion and general-purpose wide power supplies.
