ST STEVAL-LVLP01 Bedienungsanleitung

Introduction

The STEVAL-LVLP01 evaluation board is based on the STDRIVE101 three-phase gate driver and the STL8N10F7 power

MOSFETs.

The STEVAL-LVLP01 embeds a power stage and circuitry for driving three-phase brushless DC motors. The board can be

interfaced with different control boards based on STM32 microcontrollers through the MC Connector V2, which is a part of motor

control development platform supporting ZeST and HSO Algorithms.

The STEVAL-LVLP01 can support single-shunt or three-shunt operation. The different connectors for onboard motor positioning

feedback and motor phase sensing network allow implementation of sensor and sensorless algorithms for motion control.

The signal mapping is reported in Table 4, which indicates:

• The category of the pin according to the functional block associated

• The direction of the signal, whether from the power board STEVAL-LVLP01 to the control board (P → C) or

vice-versa (P → C)

1.2 Getting started

Table 5 summarizes the maximum ratings of the STEVAL-LVLP01. To run the motor follows the points below:

Step 1. Plug a compatible control board in the MC Connector V2 (J12), programmed with the target firmware

Step 2. Connect a power supply (voltage between 6V and 45V) to J7, taking care to connect the positive pole

to VM pin and the negative one to GND pin (see Figure 2)

Step 3. Connect the three-phase brushless motor to J3 taking care of the motor phase sequence

Step 4. In case motor sensors are needed (disregard this point if the application does not require them):

Step 4a. Select which supply to use for the Hall sensors using J5 and connect the Hall sensors and

their supply to J6

Step 4b. Select which supply to use for the encoder using J8 and connect the encoder and its supply

to J9

Step 5. Power up the voltage supply connected to J7 and start the application.

2 Hardware and functional blocks description

The STEVAL-LVLP01 is based on the STDRIVE101 three-phase gate driver. The power stage is based on six N-

channel STL8N10F7 power MOSFETs in the 3.3 x 3.3 powerFLAT package. The digital control signals and the

feedback signals are routed on the MC connector V2, which acts as interface for the control board.

The STEVAL-LVLP01 can be configured in single-shunt or three-shunt and it can support FOC, six-step, ZeST,

and HSO algorithms. Each part of the Figure 4 block diagram is described in the following sections.

Figure 4. STEVAL-LVLP01 block diagram

2.1 DC-DC buck converter

The ST1S14 is a DC/DC buck converter present on the STEVAL-LVLP01, which generates a 5 V output, starting

from the motor supply VM provided on J7. The external components are sized in order to guarantee a maximum

current capability of 1.5 A. The 5 V voltage is brought on the MC connector V2, in order to provide the supply the

microcontroller present on the control board. The step down from 5 V to 3.3 V is usually done by a linear

regulator. The 5 V can also supply the motor sensors connected to the STEVAL-LVLP01 (see Motor position

feedback interfaces)

If needed, the extended current capability of the DC/DC allows the user to connect other external loads, in

addition to the other circuitries mentioned above. The 5 V voltage provided by the DC/DC is present on the test

point TP15; a “Power Good” signal present on TP17 indicates whether the 5V is ok or there are some issues in

regulation. Moreover, the “power good” is also indicated by the LED2 (green).

2.2 Current sensing

This section describes how the STEVAL-LVLP01 performs the current sensing, flowing in each phase of the

motor. The current sensing is a critical point because most of the motion control algorithms are based on this

information.

2.2.1 Shunt resistor configuration

The STEVAL-LVLP01 can be used in both three-shunt or single shunt configurations. By default, the board is

configured in three-shunt configuration. Every phase has a shunt resistor of 15 mΩ. It is possible to change from

three-shunt to single shunt, by changing the configuration of the solder bridges SB1 and SB2 as shown in

Figure 5 and Figure 6.

UM3193

Hardware and functional blocks description

UM3193 - Rev 1 page 8/33

Figure 5. Solder bridges configuration for three-shunt operation

Figure 6. Solder bridges configuration for single shunt operation

In case of single shunt operation (Figure 6) the solder bridges redirect the current of the three phases to flow in

the shunt resistor of the phase 2 (R26); the readout of the current must be performed on the ISNS2P and ISNS2N

signal; A22 and B22 pins of the MC connector V2, respectively.

UM3193 - Rev 1 page 9/33

2.2.2 Operational amplifiers

By default, the shunt resistors are directly connected to the MC connector V2: the amplification can be done

exploiting the operational amplifiers embedded in the microcontroller on the control board. However, it is possible

to change this configuration and use the operational amplifiers present on the STEVAL-LVLP01. The signal of

each shunt resistor has a dedicated op-amp, which implements a differential amplifier with a gain of 15. The

topology used enables the rejection of the common mode, resulting in a more accurate output signal. There is the

possibility to add a RC low pass filter at the output of each op-amp; by default, no filter is mounted. The TSV994

mounted on the STEVAL-LVLP01 embeds the three operational amplifiers (one for each shunt), together with a

fourth op-amp used for current control (see Comparator for current control).

By configuring the 0-Ohm resistors/solder bridges as reported in Table 6, the raw signal coming from the shunt

resistor is amplified before sending it the MC connector V2.
