STMicroelectronics STEVAL-PTOOL2V1 Reference Design

STMicroelectronics STEVAL-PTOOL2V1 Reference Design is a compact platform for medium-voltage brushless power tools based on the STSPIN32F0252 250V 3-Phase Controller. The controller is an incredibly integrated solution for driving three-phase applications, helping designers reduce the PCB area and overall bill-of-material. STSPIN32F0252 embeds an STM32F031x6x7 MCU, which features an Arm® 32-bit Cortex®-M0 CPU and a 250V triple half-bridge gate driver.

The STM STEVAL-PTOOL2V1 Reference Design is tailored for medium-voltage power tools driven by 3-phase brushless motors supplied from 8S to 15S. The board features an input voltage from 20VDC to 72VDC with an output current of up to 19ARMS.

Features

  • 20VDC to 72VDC input voltage range
