In addition to the internal current limiter, the integrated amplifiers allow it to be used in systems with external current control. The EVSPIN958 is compatible with the Arduino UNO R3 connector and most STM32 Nucleo boards.
UM3056 Safety precautions Safety precautions Warning: Some of the components mounted on the board could reach hazardous temperatures during operation. While using the board, please follow the following precautions: • Do not touch the components or the heatsink. • Do not cover the board. •...
Compatibility with Arduino UNO R3 connector and STM32 Nucleo boards The EVSPIN958 evaluation board is ready to be used in few steps. Follow this procedure to start your evaluation: Check the setting of the jumpers based on your configuration as described in...

EVSPIN958 overview The following tables provide the detailed pinout of the Arduino UNO R3 and ST Morpho connectors. Table 1. Arduino UNO R3 connector table Connector Signal Remarks Operational amplifiers offset enable...
UM3056 Driving mode selection The driving mode selection is done setting J1 and J2 jumpers (connected to MODE1 and MODE2 pins of the device) on the top of the board. J6 solder jumper on the bottom of the board must be closed/opened according to the selected driving mode. The table below briefly summarizes the possible configurations: Table 2.
UM3056 Current limiter mode Figure 5. One unidirectional DC motors – higher current OUT2 OUT1 Current limiter mode The behavior of the current limiter can be changed by setting the J3 jumper (connected to MODE3 of the device) as follows: Table 3.
UM3056 Output slew rate Figure 6. versus R Output slew rate The output slew rate can be increased moving the rotative switch SW1 clockwise. With the STSPIN958 device, the slew rate value can be chosen from four different values, as shown in Table Table 4.
UM3056 Thermal performance Thermal performance An example of the thermal performances of the EVSPIN958 is provided in Figure 7 . The board is used in full-bridge and parallel half-bridge configuration in a typical application to drive an inductive load with different output currents ranging from 0.5 A to 4 A.
