Three-phase BLDC motor driver board STEVAL-SPIN3202 review: unboxing [Copy link]

Thanks to EEWorld and ST for the unique opportunity to evaluate the three-phase BLDC motor driver board STEVAL-SPIN3202. In the next month or so, I will conduct detailed theoretical study and practical operation on low-voltage DC BLDC motor drive control.

First, let’s take a look at the beautiful photos of the board:

Look at the label, it’s a board from Italy!

The board size is 100mmX70mm (length x width), and the layout is quite compact. Of course, the product board can be smaller than the evaluation board. There is no heat sink for the MOS tube, probably because it is just an evaluation board, and heat dissipation must be considered in the product.

The small size of this board is mainly due to the STSPIN32F0A chip, which is an advanced BLDC controller chip equipped with an embedded STM32 MCU. It is very powerful. Let's take a look at its main technical indicators:

32-bit ARM Cortex-M0 core:

Up to 48 MHz clock speed

4KB SRAM

32KB Flash

FW bootloader

Wide operating voltage range: 6.7 V to 45 V

Three-phase gate driver:

600 mA (sinking and sourcing)

Integrated bootstrap diode

Integrated interlock function to prevent the upper and lower tubes from being turned on at the same time

3.3V DC/DC Step-Down Converter Regulator with Overcurrent, Short-Circuit and Thermal Protection

12 V LDO linear regulator with thermal protection

16 general purpose I/O ports (GPIO)

5 general purpose timers

12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) (up to 9 channels)

I2C, USART and SPI communication interfaces

Three rail-to-rail operational amplifiers for signal conditioning

Comparator for overcurrent protection with programmable threshold

Supports standby mode to reduce power consumption

Support under voltage lockout protection

Support SWD Support on-chip debugging function

Industrial temperature range: -40°C to +125°C

Let's take a look at the main technical indicators of the evaluation board:

Input voltage: 7V to 45V

Output current up to 15 Arms

Power stage based on STD140N6F7 MOSFETs

Single resistor sampling

Digital Hall sensor and encoder input

Overcurrent protection

Bus voltage detection

Fully compatible with the STM 32 PMSM FOC Software Development Kit

6-step sensorless and sensor firmware support

Onboard ST-LINK/V2-1

Simple user interface with buttons and trimmers to start, stop and adjust motor speed

Support for STM32 firmware bootloader

This evaluation board was designed with comprehensive considerations. It not only supports a variety of commonly used BLDC motor drive control algorithms, but also has user buttons and fine-tuning knobs to facilitate user evaluation of BLDC motors.

The next step is to install MCSDK and start testing the evaluation board.

It turns out that this board was assembled in Italy.

ST has also done a good job in the development of BLDC motors, with a dedicated MC SDK

How much does it cost at retail? I also want to see how well this device works.
