EVALSTGAP4S with STEVAL-PCC009V2 and evaluation software

The EVALSTGAP4S board, in combination with the STEVAL-PCC009V2 interface board and the STSW-STGAP4
software toolset, allows to easily evaluate the STGAP4S functionalities. Indeed, the evaluation software allows
to quickly configure the device parameters and to monitor the status flags as well as the diagnostic outputs.
Moreover, the software also allows to save a configuration set and recall it when needed, for instance after the
board power-on.
The PWM input signals must be provided to the dedicated connector using an external function generator.
2.1.1

Check list

• PC with Microsoft
• EVALSTGAP4S board
• STEVAL-PCC009V2 interface board (with installed the dedicated firmware STSW-STGAP4_FW.hex)
• STSW-STGAP4 GUI evaluation software
• 10-pin flat cable
• USB to Mini-USB cable
• Power supply for VCC supply voltage
• PWM function generator
For information about the installation of the STSW-STGAP4_FW.hex firmware in the STEVAL-PCC009V2
interface board and of the STSW-STGAP4 GUI evaluation software, see the STSW-STGAP4 toolset User
Manual.
2.1.2

Single board setup example

• Connect the EVALSTGAP4S J9 connector to the STEVAL-PCC009V2 10-pin connector using the flat
cable.
• Connect the EVALSTGAP4S VCC power supply, present on J1 connector, to a power supply keeping it off.
• Connect the STEVAL-PCC009V2 to the PC using the USB cable.
• Turn on the VCC power supply (8 V<VCC<24 V) of the EVALSTGAP4S. The DIAG1 and DIAG2 LEDs turn
on.
• Connect the input signals IN+_H, IN+_L of EVALSTGAP4S J3 connector to the PWM function generator
signals.
• Start the STSW-STGAP4 GUI evaluation software.
The board is ready to be used. See the STSW-STGAP4 toolset User Manual for details about the available
operations. The minimum operations to enable the PWM outputs are:
• Execute the ResetStatus, the fault flags are cleared and the DIAG1 and DIAG2 LEDs switch off.
• Set the SD high, the input to output PWM is now enabled.
2.1.3

Multiple board setup example

• Refer to
• Connect the MASTER EVALSTGAP4S J9 connector to the STEVAL-PCC009V2 10-pin connector using the
flat cable.
• Connect the MASTER EVALSTGAP4S VCC power supply, present on J1 connector, to a power supply
keeping it off.
• Connect the STEVAL-PCC009V2 to the PC using the USB cable.
• Turn on the VCC power supply (8 V<VCC<24 V) of the MASTER EVALSTGAP4S. The DIAG1 and DIAG2
LEDs turn-on.
• Connect the input signals IN+_H, IN+_L of each EVALSTGAP4S J3 connector to the PWM function
generator signals.
• Start the STSW-STGAP4 GUI evaluation software.
