800 V MOSFET enables designers to achieve high power density

The STP80N1K1K6 MOSFET from STMicroelectronics features very low on-resistance as a function of area, helping designers to develop power systems that are both compact and efficient.

Automotive-qualified LED driver with adaptive dc-dc controller for maximized efficiency

The STMicroelectronics ALED7709 combines an AEC-Q100 Grade 1-qualified 4-channel LED driver with a dc-dc controller capable of boost and SEPIC operation from an input-voltage range of 4.5 V to 42 V.

The STEVAL-ILD003V1 demonstration board implements a low-cost analog dimmer using the TS820-600FP, a sensitive-gate silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) thyristor. The dimmer can drive typical low-power lamps such as compact fluorescent or dimmable LED lights.

Through-hole technology is used for the most important components, such as an LC filter, gate resistor, and turn-on delay capacitor, to allow for modification of the board.

The STEVAL-ILD003V1 eliminates flickering thanks to its continuous current applied through the sensitive SCR gate. This dimmer could easily replace a standard low-cost analog triac light dimmer using a diac-controlled circuit.

The STEVAL-ILD003V1 is for use in Europe at a mains voltage of 220 V. A 110 V version, the STEVAL-ILD003V2, is for use in North America. 

Key features:

  • For 2-wire wall dimmers
  • Leading-edge control compatible with all lamp types commonly found on the market
  • Dimmable power range: 3 W to 350 W 
  • 60°C maximum ambient temperature 
  • Higher than 99% power efficiency at 350 W/230 V
  • Less than 0.5 W standby power losses

The STEVAL-MKI231KA demonstration board provides a hardware platform for evaluating the STHS34PF80, an infrared motion and presence-detection sensor from STMicroelectronics. 

The demo board is connected through flat cable to a generic adapter board, the STEVAL-MKIGIBV5, to make it compatible with the STEVAL-MKI109V3 microcontroller board. An ad hoc plastic holder with a Fresnel lens (TMOS63-10) has been provided in the kit to enable the designer to verify the in-application performance of the device.

The STEVAL-MKIGIBV5 can be plugged into a standard DIL 24 socket. The kit supports the complete STHS34PF80 pin-out, and comes ready-to-use with the required decoupling capacitors on the power supply line.

This adapter is supported by the STEVAL-MKI109V3 motherboard, which includes a high performance 32-bit MCU functioning as a bridge between the sensor and a PC, on which it is possible to use the downloadable graphical user interface, or dedicated software routines for customized applications.

It is also possible to plug the board into an X-NUCLEO-IKS01A3, X-NUCLEO-IKS02A1 or X-NUCLEO-IKS4A1 board. The kit is supported by an X-CUBE-MEMS1 expansion software package for STM32 MCUs.

The STM32C0116-DK Discovery kit from STMicroelectronics provides a convenient platform for exploring the features of the STM32C0 family of microcontrollers. The board includes an STM32C011F6 MCU in a 20-pin UFQFPN package, and an onboard ST-LINK/V2-1 to debug and program the MCU.

The STM32C0116-DK Discovery kit is operated by plugging it into a PC through a standard USB Type-A or USB Type-C®-to-Micro-B cable.

Key features of the board are:

  • User LED
  • Reset push-button
  • 5‑way joystick using a single ADC input pin
  • STM32 UFQFPN20-to-DIL20 module
  • Board connectors:
    • USB Micro-B
    • DIL20 socket
    • Dedicated LCD footprint
    • Grove (UART)
    • 2 x 10‑pin headers for MCU daughterboard
    • Extension connectors
  • Comprehensive free software libraries and examples available with the STM32Cube MCU package
  • Supports a wide choice of integrated development environments including IAR Embedded Workbench®, MDK-ARM, and STM32CubeIDE
