| Evaluation and Demonstration Boards and Kits | 1 | Active | The STEVAL-PCC009V2 board implements an IBU universal interface (IBUUI), which is an STM32x-based USB-to-serial interface bridge consisting of a configurable 10-pin interface and a 30-pin interface.
The STM32x microcontroller is used as an interface between the PC and another end system. Various communication peripherals are multiplexed with GPIOs, ADC and PWM channels in both the 10-pin and 30-pin interfaces.
With these interfaces, there is a provision to connect a device which can communicate using I2C, SPI and UART. Thus, the IBUUI tool allows users to connect a serial communication-based device to a PC. At the same time, it allows user control of some GPIOs available in 10-pin and 30-pin interfaces, and sets them to input/output mode as per application requirements. |
| Development Boards, Kits, Programmers | 1 | NRND | The STEVAL-PCC017V1 evaluation board is used as a USB-to-serial communication interface for motor control applications. The STM32 microcontroller is used as the main digital controller to interface with the slave devices. The system utilizes the opto-isolator to isolate the STM32 and slave devices in order to control, configure and monitor them. The STEVAL-PCC017V1 evaluation board has a 16-pin interface which allows connecting a device that can communicate using SPI and UART. This allows the user to connect a serial communication-based device to a PC and also allows the control of some of the GPIOs available in the 16-pin interface, setting them in input/output modes.
Power to the board is provided from the USB Mini-B type connector. In addition, external target VDD_T and GND_T supply is used to power up the opto-isolator output section. The STEVAL-PCC017V1 evaluation board provides an option for the end user to just focus on application development as the complexity of the microcontroller is encompassed by the tool itself, thus increasing efficiency and time to market. |
| Evaluation and Demonstration Boards and Kits | 1 | Obsolete | Based on the Silab CP2102 USB bridge, the STEVAL-PCC018V1 is a USB to UART board that allows the integration of a USB connector with a general-purpose board which has a UART interface available. |
| Evaluation Boards | 1 | Active | The STEVAL-PDETECT1 is a presence detection add-on evaluation kit for STWIN.box, targeting human presence applications. It enables low-power applications, user privacy, and it reduces false triggers with multisensor modalities.
It is possible to use simultaneously up to three add-on boards in a daisy-chain configuration.
The kit is based on three sensors: STHS34PF80, VL53L8CX, and VD6283TX.
The STHS34PF80 sensor has been designed to measure the amount of IR radiation emitted from an object within its field of view. The information is digitally processed by the ASIC, which can be programmed to monitor motion, presence, or an overtemperature condition.
The VL53L8CX is a multizone (either 4x4 or 8x8) ToF ranging sensor, which enhances performance under ambient light with a reduced power consumption. Based on STMicroelectronics’ FlightSense technology, the sensor is designed to provide accurate ranging up to 400 cm with a 65° diagonal field of view (FoV).
The VD6283TX (1.83 x 1.0 x 0.55 mm) is ST's new color sensor with advanced light flicker extraction. Light measurement is fast and accurate thanks to an individual ADC and a readout for each color channel. The VD6283TX uses hybrid color filters with precise responses allowing accurate computation of the correlated color temperature (CCT) and Lux information. The VD6283TX can be used for display brightness management or scene light correction. |
| Development Boards, Kits, Programmers | 1 | Active | The STEVAL-PLC001V1 evaluation board targets compact programmable logic controller (PLC) applications in the factory automation domain. It features a powerful human machine interface (HMI) thanks to the 3.5" TFT touchscreen mounted on the PCB, which eases interaction with the tool.
The board implements a galvanically isolated PLC control unit with robust digital input, digital output modules, expansion connectivity options, and interfaces.
The control unit consists of a powerful 144-pin STM32F746ZGT7 MCU, which handles the industrial IOs on one side and the TouchGFX display technology on the other side, implementing the ladder logic programming code and several additional options.
Highly robust and reliable industrial digital input and output modules are placed symmetrically on the PCB, making the system a 12+12 PLC, that is, a PLC GUI optimized for STM32 microcontrollers, which manages 12 industrial inputs and 12 industrial outputs.
The 12 industrial inputs have been implemented through the combination of an eight-channel CLT01-38SQ7 and two dual channel CLT03-2Q3 ICs.
The CLT01-38SQ7 features 6.25 MHz SPI with daisy chain capability to connect, in this case, the eight-channel output ISO8200AQ and reverse polarity, whereas the CLT03-2Q3 features two high- and low-side compatible independent channels, which can be powered from the external sensors they interface with, and the capability of running in the 60 V range for fail-safe applications.
The 12 industrial output array consists of an eight-channel ISO8200AQ IC and a four-channel IPS4260L low-side intelligent power switch.
The ISO8200AQ offers a daisy-chain SPI interface and embedded galvanic insulation, separating logic and power side of 4 kV and making the solution cost-effective (no opto-coupler is needed).
The STEVAL-PLC001V1 also features connectivity options typical of commercial PLCs through the morpho connectors mounted on the PCB bottom, ensuring compatibility with STM32 Nucleo expansion boards.
The embedded ICs for industrial IO management allow great flexibility in terms of technical features, protections and embedded diagnostics, when interfacing industrial range inputs (that is, sensors and valves) and outputs (that is, lamps, alarms, and actuators) with the logic side.
The STSW-PLC001 companion software package, freely available on www.st.com, allows experimenting with these advanced features and their combination.
Thanks to this software and the smart user interface offered by the TouchGFX, you can learn how the ICs work and exploit ready-to-use examples as well as ladder logic demonstrations and projects. |
STEVAL-POE001V1Power Over Ethernet (PoE) - IEEE 802.3bt compliant interface reference design | Evaluation Boards | 1 | Active | This reference design integrates a high power standard PoE-PD interface compliant with the third generation IEEE 802.3bt PoE standard, able to support applications up to 100 W.
The PoE-PD interface is based on the PM8805 system in package featuring two embedded active bridges with driving circuitry, a charge pump to drive the high side MOSFETs, a hot swap MOSFET and a standard single-signature interface compliant with IEEE 802.3bt, including detection, classification, UVLO and inrush current limitation.
The device implements IEEE 802.3bt physical layer classification schemes to signal successful PSE type identification to the system: it identifies a 4-pair PSE by monitoring the Ethernet cable pairs and providing the system with a dedicated matrix of Tx signals.
The PM8805 is suitable for building the interface for PoE switch mode power supplies for maximum conversion efficiency, with a PGD signal that can be used to enable downstream DC-DC converters or LED drivers with suitable electrical parameters. |
