STEVAL-IHM005V1
BLDC & AC Motor Control : Power Board 3kW

This reference design kit (RDK) is based on an inverter topology designed to efficiently drive three types of motors: 3-phase BLDC/AC permanent magnet (in six-step mode), 3-phase AC induction and 3-phase BLAC PM (sinusoidal driven). A plug-in daughter control board (STEVAL-IHM001V1) based on the ST7FMC microcontroller is required to drive the motor.
The inverter bridge is composed of six short-circuit protected IGBTs with current capability determined by the board’s power rating. The IGBT bridge is driven by three drivers (located on the control board), which feature high side and low side functionality in a single chip. The auxiliary power supply is implemented through the use of a VIPer (vertical intelligent power enhanced regulator), which combines a high voltage vertical power MOSFET with state-of-the-art PWM circuitry.
