UM0583 Demonstration board introduction Components on the demonstration board include: ● the STCC08 device (U1) ● the STLITE39F2 MCU (U2). The 8-bit MCU drives the AC switch through the STCC08, analyzes the STCC08 AVF signals and powers LEDs to indicate AC switch failures ●...
STCC08 description UM0583 STCC08 description Block diagram description Figure 4 shows the block diagram of the STCC08. It includes a “gate driver” block to control the AC switch, a “power switch signal shaping” block used to read the AC switch state and a buffer able to send the AC switch state to the MCU (AVF DRIVER).

UM0583 STCC08 description Table 2 gives the AC switch state according to the AVF signal and the MCU control (IN). Knowing the IN signal state, the MCU is able to define the AC switch state by analyzing the AVF signal. According to the failure mode, the MCU can place the system in a safe configuration by switching off the home appliance front-end relay.
Features UM0583 Features ST7LITE39F2 microcontroller The 8-bit MCU used in this board is the ST7LITE39F2. It belongs to the ST7 family of microcontrollers, and offers a large number of features at minimum cost. ● The peripheral hardware requirements are reduced to a minimum: –...

UM0583 Features temperatures, please refer to application note AN2716 to redefine the R resistor, and STCC08 consumption to redefine the C16 capacitor value. To reduce the surge current when the board is powered, a 39 Ω R14 resistor is connected in series with the C16 capacitor.
Using the demonstration board UM0583 Using the demonstration board Load The ACS included in the board can withstand a 0.8 A RMS permanent current up to an ambient temperature of 80 °C. The switch can drive common washing-machine AC loads without difficulty.
UM0583 Using the demonstration board Getting started Warning: The demonstration board is not electrically isolated from the AC input. The MCU is directly linked to the mains voltage. No insulation is ensured between the accessible parts and the high voltage. The STCC08 demonstration board must be used with care and only by persons qualified to work with electricity at mains voltage levels.
