IGBT Power module evaluation kit - Semitop2 power board Introduction The Semitop2 evaluation board STEVAL-IHM011V1 is a complete platform to evaluate STMicroelectronics power module devices (Semitop 2). Based on a cost effective, flexible and open design, it is an evaluation platform compatible with the latest STMicroelectronics microcontroller based solution.
High side/low side pairs of one signal for each leg. In the system proposed three legs are present (three-phase inverter). The Power Board STEVAL-IHM011V1 is based on a power module (STG3P2M10N60B) that converts the control signal in the power signals to drive the motor. The connection between the control board and the power board is performed through a dedicated 32-pin connector called “motor control connector”...
UM0428 Safety and operating instructions Safety and operating instructions General During assembly and operation, the IGBT power module eval kit poses several inherent hazards, including bare wires, moving or rotating parts, and hot surfaces. There is danger of serious personal injury and damage to property, if it is improperly used or installed incorrectly.
STG3P2M10N60B power module characteristics UM0428 Warning: Do not touch the design boards after disconnection from the voltage supply, as several parts and power terminals which contain possibly energized capacitors need to be allowed to discharge. STG3P2M10N60B power module characteristics The STG3P2M10N60B is a 1-phase bridge rectifier plus a 3-phase inverter IGBT all ®...
Before performing the test, the power board must be set up as described in Section 7.3: Power board setup. Table 2.

Board architecture UM0428 Board architecture The STEVAL-IHM011V1 can be schematized as in Figure Figure 4. Power board architecture The power board is developed around the IGBT power module that contains the inverter bridge constituted of six IGBT power switches and the AC rectifier bridge (see Figure The board has been designed to operate with a 5 V or 3.3 V microcontroller so the power...
UM0428 Board architecture In the three-shunt configuration, the amplification is positive and an offset is added to keep the negative values of the current in the range of ADC also. The levels of the amplified signals are compatible with 3.3 V microcontrollers. To use the ICS, the operational amplifiers U1 network must be modified according to sensor characteristics.

UM0428 Motor control demonstration Hardware protection features The L6386 drivers are used to drive the three-phase bridge. The drivers are provided with internal protection features used for hardware current and thermal protection. Hardware current protection has been set up for a current level of 4 amps. If a current greater than this value flows inside the motor, the inverter is shut down and an emergency fault signal is sent to the micro by the MC connector.
Power board setup 7.3.1 Configuring AC input range and shunt resistors configuration The STEVAL-IHM011V1 power board can be configured for two ranges of AC input voltage: European standard mains voltage (220 Vac) or American standard mains voltage (110 Vac). 16/27...
UM0428 Motor control demonstration The first configuration is a simple rectifier, but the second configuration is a voltage doubler. Using the first configuration with an AC input of 220 V, the bus voltage obtained is 310 DC volt. Using the second configuration with an AC input of 110 V, the bus voltage obtained is the same 310 DC V.
