The STEVAL-IME009V1 is a product evaluation board designed around the STHV800 8-channel high voltage pulser, a state-of-the-art device designed for ultrasound imaging applications. The output waveforms can be displayed directly on an oscilloscope by connecting the scope probe to the relative BNCs. 16 preset waveforms are available to test the HV pulser under varying conditions.

The STEVAL-IME014V1B evaluation kit, based on the STHV1600 16-channel high voltage pulser for ultrasound imaging applications, can be used to evaluate the characteristics and functionality of the HV pulser. Four preset programs are available to test the pulser in typical conditions, and output waveforms can be displayed on an oscilloscope by connecting the scope probe to the relative connectors. A graphical user interface is available to help you change waveforms and configurations easily.

The STEVAL-IOD002V1 expansion board for STM32 Nucleo is based on the L6364W dual channel SIO and IO-Link PHY device transceiver embedding 50 mA 3.3 V and 5.0 V voltage regulators, DC-DC converter and M-sequence management. The expansion board provides an affordable and easy-to-use solution for the development of SIO and IO-Link industrial sensor applications, letting you easily evaluate the L6364W communication features and robustness. The STEVAL-IOD002V1 communicates with the STM32 controller via SPI and GPIO pins and it is compatible with the Arduino UNO R3 (default configuration) and ST morpho (optional, not mounted) connectors (when connected to a NUCLEO-L073RZ or NUCLEO-G071RB development board). Communication via IO-Link can be performed in either Multi-byte and Single-byte modes with SPI control of IC configuration and bidirectional sensor data transmission, or in Transparent mode with SPI control of IC configuration and UART interfacing for bidirectional sensor data transmission. The switches on the STEVAL-IOD002V1 conveniently allow you to configure L6364W and expansion board settings such as transmission mode and DC-DC converter enable/disable according to application requirements. You can also perform evaluation of comprehensive industrial sensor modules by connecting the STEVAL-IOD002V1 to the X-NUCLEO-IKS02A1 sensor shield.

The STEVAL-IOD003V1 evaluation board is based on the L6362A IO-Link PHY device with full integrated EMC protection (according to IO-Link v1.1 specification) and surge protection (according to IEC 60947-5-2). It provides an affordable and easy-to-use solution for the development of IO-Link and SIO applications, letting you easily evaluate the communication features and robustness of the L6362A. The on-board linear regulators (12 mA-3.3 V from L6362A and 100 mA-12 V from L78L12ABUTR) can be used to supply the micro-controller via the 24 V bus, instead of via USB. When the L78L12ABUTR is enabled (default configuration), you can also perform evaluation of complete industrial sensor modules by connecting the STEVAL-IOD003V1 to a NUCLEO-L073RZ (or NUCLEO-L053R8) board and an X-NUCLEO-IKS01A2 expansion board. The IO-Link protocol can also be evaluated connecting the STEVAL-IOD003V1 to a NUCLEO-L452RE. The STEVAL-IOD003V1 interfaces with the STM32 controller via UART and GPIO pins and is compatible with the Arduino UNO R3 (default configuration) and ST morpho (optional, not mounted) connectors.

The STEVAL-IOD04KT1 is a reference design kit that exploits the features of the L6364W IO-Link dual-channel device transceiver. The kit consists of the STEVAL-IOD004V1 main board (not available for sale), the STLINK-V3MINI programmer and debugger tool, a 14-pin flat cable, and an M8 to M12 standard industrial connector adapter. The kit acts as a modern smart industrial sensor to be connected to a master IO-Link hub (or a suitable PLC interface). The power supply for the MCU, sensors, and other logic devices derives from the DC-DC converter controller embedded in the L6364W. The on-board STM32G071EB microcontroller runs an IO-Link demo stack v.1.1, which controls the IO-Link communication, and the software code that manages the L6364W transceiver and the MEMS industrial sensors. The tiny dimensions of the main board have been achieved thanks to the small sizes of the CSP package options of L6364W and STM32G071EB. Connect the main board to an IO-Link master via the adapter and the M8 connector included in the kit for normal operation. Connect the same board to the STLINK-V3MINI through the flat cable only if you want to program the STM32G071EB with a new firmware.

The STEVAL-IPE014V1 is a daughterboard based on the STPMS2 "smart sensor" device, and is designed for use with the STPMC1-based STEVAL-IPE010V1 motherboard. Together the system provides a complete, ready-to-use energy meter application. When connected to the motherboard, each STEVAL-IPE014V1 daughterboard serves a single phase, converting and multiplexing the voltage and current information and sending the stream to the STPMC1 energy calculator IC.

The STEVAL-IPE018V1 demonstration board is a class 0.5, single-phase microprocessor-based meter for power line systems of Vnom= 140 to 300 VRMS, Inom/ Imax= 2/20 ARMS, flin= 45 to 65 Hz and Tamb= -40 to +85 °C. One current transformer is used for current sensing. The STEVAL-IPE018V1 demonstration board has a 10-pin connector to be interfaced to a microcontroller or to a PC through a parallel or serial programmer for reading data.

The STEVAL-IPFC01V1 3 kW interleaved PFC reference design is based on the STNRGPF01 digital controller and includes a separate power board, control board and programming board. The STNRGPF01 is a digital configurable ASIC developed by STMicroelectronics, which can drive up to three channels in an interleaved PFC for industrial applications. The STNRGPF01 digital controller on the control board implements mixed signal (analog/digital) average current mode control in CCM at fixed frequency. The analog section ensures cycle-by-cycle current regulation, while digital control manages the non-time critical operations. You can use the eDesignSuite software available on the ST website to configure the STNRGPF01 to satisfy the specifications of each interleaved PFC.

The STEVAL-IPFC02V1 2 kW interleaved PFC reference design features the performance of analog cycle-by-cycle current regulation and the flexibility of digital control to generate sinusoidal supplies with very high power factor and very low harmonic distortion. Digital power control is based on the STNRGPF02 digital PFC controller, which can drive up to two interleaved PFC channels using mixed signal (analog and digital) average current mode control in CCM at fixed frequency. The 2 kW interleaved PFC reference design consists of a power board with 2-ch interleaved CCM boost power stage, auxiliary power supply, a control board with embedded STNRGPF02 digital controller and a small adapter board for programming the STNRGPF02. eDesignSuite is the tool available in the ST website to configure the STNRGPF02 according to specific design requirements for each interleaved PFC.

The STEVAL-IPM07F is a compact motor drive power board based on the small low-loss intelligent molded module SLLIMM™ 2ndseries product (STGIF7CH60TS-L) . It provides an affordable and easy-to-use solution for driving high power motors for a wide range of applications such as power white goods, air conditioning, compressors, power fans, high-end power tools and 3-phase inverters for motor drives in general. The IPM itself consists of short-circuit rugged IGBTs and a wide range of features like undervoltage lockout, smart shutdown, internal temperature sensor and NTC, and overcurrent protection. The main characteristics of this evaluation board are small size, minimal BOM and high efficiency. It includes an interface circuit (BUS and Vcc connectors), bootstrap capacitors, snubber capacitor, hardware short-circuit protection, fault event signaling and temperature monitoring. In order to increase the flexibility, it is designed to work in single- or three-shunt configurations and with two current sensing options: either three dedicated onboard op-amps or with op-amps embedded on the MCU. The Hall/Encoder part completes the circuit. Thanks to these advanced characteristics, the system is able to achieve fast and accurate current feedback conditioning, meeting most of the requirements for field oriented control (FOC). The STEVAL-IPM07F is compatible with ST’s STM32-based control board, for a complete motor control platform.
