Description
The STEVAL-IHM029V2 is a low-cost universal
motor control evaluation board designed for the
home appliance market, with particular focus on
vacuum cleaners, food processors and power
tools. This system features the 20-pin, 8-bit
STM8S103F2 microcontroller running at 16 MHz
(user-trimmable internal RC clock), featuring 4
KB of Flash memory, a 10-bit A/D converter, 8/16
bit timers, communication interfaces and 640
bytes of E2PROM. The power supply circuitry
features the VIPer16L, an off-line converter with
an 800 V avalanche-rugged power section,
operating at 60 kHz.
The STEVAL-IHM029V2 especially targets
vacuum cleaner applications with power up to
900 W and fulfills the requirements of the
2009/125/EC EU directive, applicable starting in
September 2017, thanks to the T1235T, a 12 A
800 V high performance Triac. The motor control
is based on phase-angle.
In order to limit in-rush current and possible
current peaks, the evaluation board features a
soft-start routine and a smooth power change
function. The board passed the pre-compliance
tests for EMC directives IEC 61000-4-4 (burst up
to 8 kV) and IEC 61000-4-5 (surge up to 2 kV). In
standby mode, the STEVAL-IHM029V2 has an
overall power consumption below 300 mW.
