Description
The STEVAL-CBP006V1 UniPower
demonstration board is designed to provide a
ready-to-use platform for power supply
management and user-interface control
developed around the STM8S MCU. The board
can manage various wakeup sources, and
perform power supply switching of the rest of the
application during standby. The board also
features an ST capacitive touch-sensing software
library capable of turning any 8-bit STM8
microcontroller into a capacitive touch-sensing
controller.
STEVAL-CBP006V1
The UniPower demonstration board is
preprogrammed with demonstration firmware to
manage most of the system’s hardware
resources, such as digital and analog I/Os, LEDs
and mechanical buttons. Touch-sensing functions
can thus be easily combined with traditional MCU
capabilities by selecting appropriate modules
from the UniPower MCU firmware library. The
UniPower demonstration board allows designers
who are familiar with the use of standard
microcontrollers to perform extensive application
standby power management and create higher-
end look-and-feel human interfaces by replacing
conventional electromechanical switches with
capacitive touchkeys. The application cost can be
reduced by choosing a smaller MCU from the
STM8S portfolio. The board is delivered with a
SWIM interface, allowing adaptation of the
firmware to application requirements. This
simplifies the concept of the UniPower MCU
firmware library, and makes the evaluation of the
key features for end-applications easy. Maturity,
robustness, flexibility and performance make this
solution simple to implement and quick to market.
It can be integrated into various types of
consumer application, such as set-top boxes,
digital TVs and home appliances. For further
details about the touch-sensing software library,
please refer to the STM8 touch-sensing firmware
documentation.
