STEVAL-IFN004V1: BLDC six-step motor drive
based on the L6230 and STM8
Introduction
The STEVAL-IFN004V1 is a demonstration board based on STMicroelectronic's
STM8S105K4 microcontrollers and the DMOS fully integrated 3-phase motor driver L6230
implementing a trapezoidal control (6-step) for a brushless direct current motor (BLDC) in
both sensor and sensorless configurations.
It is designed as an evaluation environment for motor control applications in the range of
8 V - 48 V of DC bus voltage (which is extendable up to 52 V) and nominal power up to
35 W using the STM8S105K4 microcontroller with internal 16 kB Flash and the L6230
DMOS driver with 2.8 A output peak current, non-dissipative overcurrent
detection/protection, cross conduction protection, uncommitted comparator, thermal
shutdown, and undervoltage lockout.
With dedicated hardware evaluation features, the STEVAL-IFN004V1 board is designed to
help developers evaluate the device and develop their own applications.
The STEVAL-IFN004V1 can be used together with the STM8 BLDC firmware library v1.0
and constitutes a complete motor control evaluation and development platform.
