STEVAL-IHM032V1: 150W BLDC or PMSM, 115 or 230 VAC

The STEVAL-IHM032V1 demonstration board is a 3-phase inverter designed to perform both the field-oriented control (FOC) of sinusoidal-shaped back-EMF permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) and trapezoidal control of brushless DC (BLDC) motors with or without sensors, with nominal power up to 150 W.

This flexible, open, high-performance system based on the L639x and STGD3HF60HD is specifically designed to achieve fast and accurate conditioning of the current feedback, thereby matching the requirements typical of high-end applications such as field-oriented motor control. The board is compatible with 110 and 230 Vac mains, and includes a power supply stage with the VIPer12A-E (in flyback configuration) to generate the +15 V and +3.3 V supply voltage required by the application. Finally, the board can be interfaced through a dedicated connector with the STM3210xx-EVAL (STM32 microcontroller demonstration board), STEVAL-IHM022V1 (high density, dual motor control demonstration board based on the STM32F103ZE microcontroller), and with the STEVAL-IHM033V1 (control stage based on the STM32F100 microcontroller suitable for motor control).
