Insulated AC switch control evaluation board for home appliances
Introduction
The
STEVAL-GLA001V1
evaluation board is designed to help you develop applications with insulated control of three AC loads
up to 1 kW (230 Vrms) using Triacs and AC switches instead of relays.
To control the STEVAL-GLA001V1, you can use a
NUCLEO-F030R8
development board which allows three AC switch control
modes for load control: continuous or pulse gate current, a timer option, and phase control. You can use also any external
microcontroller.
Once you have installed the relevant firmware (freely available at STSW-GLA001V1) on the NUCLEO-F030R8 development
board, you can start adjusting the main parameters through a common serial interface like HyperTerminal.
The STEVAL-GLA001V1 evaluation board features a wide input voltage range, low standby power losses, IEC61000-4-4
robustness and two low voltage power supplies.
The targeted applications are residential appliances requiring insulation between microcontroller and mains voltage, such as
washing machines and dish washers, micro-wave ovens, cookers, ovens, soya-milk makers, printers, air-conditioners, fridges,
water-heaters and heaters.

  • Page 14: Triac Control

    UM2304 Triac control Triac control A Triac or AC switch can be controlled through a DC or pulse gate command. If you apply a gate current until the Triac current exceeds I (latching current), the Triac remains ON even if the gate current is removed. The Triac turns OFF when the Triac current reaches zero, if the gate control is released.

    “Final value” entered in “td_zvs” should be the difference between the “td_zvs” delay and the inductive load delay. For example, “td_zvs” due to the STEVAL-GLA001V1 is 1000 µs, and inductive load delay is 2500 µs: the final value is “td_zvs” – “inductive load delay” = 1000 – 2500 = –1500 µs.

    The firmware is able to manage ZVS circuit presence: according to the “zvs_hw” parameter value, some mode operations may or may not be available. With the STEVAL-GLA001V1, the ZVS parameter is activated by default. In case of firmware re-use with user-own design, ZVS function could be deactivated..

STEVAL-GLA001V1 evaluation board embeds three AC switches and all gate control circuits have been calculated to ensure turn-on for ambient temperature from 0 to 60 °C. It also takes into account fluctuation on VCC_AC voltage (non-regulated auxiliary voltage referenced to mains voltage) from approximatively 13 V to 21 V.
