ST STEVAL-BLUEPLUG1 Bedienungsanleitung
Introduction
The STEVAL-BLUEPLUG1 evaluation board for home-automation and IoT (internet of things) applications is designed to help
you develop your own home or building automation subsystems for energy management, in a small form factor solution for easy
integration into home and building electrical systems.
The board is compliant with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) specification 4.2 to allow secure communication of metering data from
specific electrical loads to a smart phone with BLE support.
You can use an Android application for your smart phone to display energy measurement parameters and send dimming and
scheduling commands to the Smart Plug board.
This board embeds an STPM32 metering chip for high accuracy measurement of power and energy in power line systems using
shunt current sensors, and a non-isolated buck converter supply based on the VIPER06Xs. A three-terminal TRIAC controls the
current through AC switching.
You can also interface the board with NFC enabled EEPROM via a dedicated connector.

1Safety information
FCC notices
Note: ST reference designs and evaluation boards are intended to help and facilitate development of products. Using
a direct copy of any of them does not waive the requirement for testing and certification of products mandated by
governing agencies and authorities.
This device compiles with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference
2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
Electrical safety
Danger:
Due to the high voltage present on the non-isolated components, special care must be taken to
avoid the risk of electric shocks and burns.
There are no protections against accidental human contact with high voltage components.
Never touch live board components when the board is connected or immediately after the board is
disconnected, as the capacitors may still be charged.
Do not connect probes to any high voltage components if the board is not isolated from the mains
supply, as this may cause damage to equipment.
1. The board must be used only by qualified persons.
2. De-energize the board and all its interface outputs and electrical loads before performing any electrical or
diagnostic operations.
3. Only program and debug the board with the isolated JTAG in-circuit debugger/programmer to avoid
damaging the tools.
4. Use a mains insulation transformer when you perform any tests with spectrum analyzers or oscilloscopes.
Note: STMicroelectronics assumes no responsibility for accidents or injury caused by improper use of this
development tool.
Personal safety
1. Wear personal protective equipment such as latex gloves or safety glasses with side shields, or protect the
EVM in an adequate lucent plastic box with interlocks from accidental touch.

The mains supply and loads are monitored by the STPM32 standard metering IC, while the SPBTLE-1S Bluetooth
Low Energy module handles data and command interfacing for the Smart Plug Android app developed for the
board, and can store data via the EEPROM connector.
The 12 A TRIAC acts as a switch for the load and phase controller for dimming.
The supplies for the ICs are regulated from the VIPER06 buck converter output.
The board includes a manual switch to turn the load on and off, and LEDs to signal connectivity status.
2.4 Zero crossing detector circuit
A zero crossing circuit is an electrical circuit that begins operation with the AC load voltage at close to 0 V in the
AC cycle. Zero crossing detection is used for the dimming reference point to fire the TRIAC accordingly.
The circuit has three resistors connected to phase of the AC line to lower the resultant voltage and a resistor on
the base of a PNP transistor which acts as a pull up resistor: when the voltage at the base drops below the base
operating voltage, the transistor switches to output LOW.

The purpose of the circuit in our design is to start the TRIAC conducting very near the moment when the load
voltage crosses zero volts (at the beginning or the middle of each AC cycle represented by a sine wave), so that
the output voltage can be modified by changing the firing angle of TRIAC, which in turn will change the required
output waveform.

2.5 Power supply
For power supply, a non-isolated Buck converter using the VIPER06Xs offline converter is used, with PWM
operation at 30 kHz and frequency jittering for lower EMI. Standby power is very low, at < 30 mW.
This type of supply is ideal for the Smart Plug application, where large currents are not required, but a small form
factor is necessary.
