The tachometer and Hall/encoder inputs

Both the tachometer and Hall/encoder inputs have been implemented on the board. When
using a Hall or encoder sensor, the W5 jumper must be connected and the W4 jumper
disconnected. The W6 jumper set to position "A" allows to supply any connected Hall sensor
with the same supply voltage as other hardware peripherals (+3.3 VDC or
+5 VDC depending on the W1 jumper). Setting the W6 jumper to position "B" supplies the
Hall sensor directly with +5 VDC, which is the most common voltage for a Hall sensor. The
U4 Hex Schmitt inverter is used as the voltage level shifter for connected Hall sensors. If
using a tachometer, jumper W5 must be disconnected and jumper W4 connected.
This type of adjustable feature allows the testing and evaluating of motors with a wide
spectrum of various sensors.

Temperature feedback and overtemperature protection (OTP)

Hardware overtemperature protection is implemented on the STEVAL-IHM028V1
demonstration board. This feature fully protects the IPM module against damage when the
temperature on the junction on the IPM surpasses a defined value. The temperature is
