Josh Barton, Field Applications Engineer at Anglia gives an overview of the STSPIN and STDRIVE product families, their features and advantages, and how they can be used effectively to drive and control electric motors.įirstly, let’s look at some of the common motor types in use today and their specific strengths for different applications.ĭC brush are the most common motor type however, these are now being replaced in many applications by Brushless DC motors (BLDC) due to advantages such as higher efficiency, quieter operation and increased reliability. The STMicroelectronics STSPIN and STDRIVE product families have been designed with the needs of modern industrial control applications in mind, such as industry 4.0, and are able to intelligently drive and control electric motors with high efficiency and precision. One of their key areas of expertise is the design and manufacture of motor control ICs. STMicroelectronics is a leading supplier of semiconductor solutions for various industries, including eMobility, industrial, and personal electronics. These motors require sophisticated electronic control systems that need to be highly integrated and cost effective whilst at the same time provide the necessary current and voltages and achieve precise control and efficient operation.

This has helped to speed up the adoption of the intelligent manufacturing equipment used in Industry 4.0.

The proliferation of electric motors in industrial and consumer applications has revolutionized the way we operate machines and equipment.

These features make the STM32F091xB/xC microcontrollers suitable for a wide range of applications such as application control and user interfaces, hand-held equipment, A/V receivers and digital TV, PC peripherals, gaming and GPS platforms, industrial applications, PLCs, inverters, printers, scanners, alarm systems, video intercoms and HVACs. Depending on the device chosen, different sets of peripherals are included. The STM32F091xB/xC microcontrollers include devices in seven different packages ranging from 48 pins to 100 pins with a die form also available upon request. A comprehensive set of power-saving modes allows the design of low-power applications.

The STM32F091xB/xC microcontrollers operate in the -40 to +85 ☌ and -40 to +105 ☌ temperature ranges, from a 2.0 to 3.6 V power supply. The device offers standard communication interfaces (two I 2Cs, two SPIs/one I 2S, one HDMI CEC and up to eight USARTs), one CAN, one 12-bit ADC, one 12-bit DAC with two channels, seven 16-bit timers, one 32-bit timer and an advanced-control PWM timer. The STM32F091xB/xC microcontrollers incorporate the high-performance ARM ®Cortex ®-M0 32-bit RISC core operating at up to 48 MHz frequency, high-speed embedded memories (up to 256 Kbytes of Flash memory and 32 Kbytes of SRAM), and an extensive range of enhanced peripherals and I/Os.
