STM8/128-MCKIT
STM8/128-MCKIT motor control starter kit
Data brief
Features
■ Motor drive based on scalar control (BLDC or
ACIM) for three-phase motors
■ Position and/or speed measurement is
implemented using Hall sensors or a
tachometer.
■ Sensorless control
■ The inverter is driven using the PWM
modulation technique.
■ Acts as a plug-and play demo, out of the box,
with the provided BLDC motor, in sensorless
speed control mode
■ Operates with an AC induction motor, after
reprogramming the microcontroller, in open
loop or in speed control mode
Description
The STM8/128-MCKIT starter kit is an integrated
system designed to provide a complete, ready-to-
use motor control application developed around
the STMicroelectronics STM8 microcontroller.
This starter kit is particularly suited to drive 3-
phase brushless motors (either AC induction or
permanent magnet types) and demonstrates how
effectively the STM8 microcontrollers can be used
in real-world motor control applications.
However, the main advantage of the STM8/128-
MCKIT is that you can use it to create your own
applications and re-program the STM8
microcontroller. You can develop your own
applications using the dedicated software libraries
provided in the starter kit in conjunction with a
third-party IDE and C compiler.
