Software Overview - STMicroelectronics X-NUCLEO-IHM08M1 Quick Start Manual

Low-Voltage BLDC motor driver expansion board
X-CUBE-SPN8 Software Description
The X-CUBE-SPN8 is an expansion software package for
STM32Cube. The software runs on the STM32 and includes
drivers that recognize, initialize and send application commands
to the L6398 device.
It is compatible with the NUCLEO-F302R8 or the NUCLEO-
F401RE when connected to one or more X-NUCLEO-IHM08M1
expansion boards.
Key features
•
Complete firmware package to build motor control applications
based on L6398 gate drivers and STL220N6F7 Power
MOSFETs (X-NUCLEO-IHM08M1).
•
API function available to send any application command to
motor driver
•
Example implementation to control one low voltage three
phase BLDC/PMSM motor, available on board X-NUCLEO-
IHM08M1 expansion board when plugged to NUCLEO-
F302R8 or NUCLEO-F01RE
•
Easy portability across different MCU families, thanks to
STM32Cube
•
Free, user-friendly license terms
