7How to set up the system
Follow the steps below to set up the evaluation kit.
Note: The following boards referenced below are part of the STEVAL-TTM001V1 evaluation kit and are not available
for separate sale:
•STEVAL-CTM004V1 power board
• STEVAL-CTM005V1 bus link capacitor board
• STEVAL-CTM007V1 driver board
• STEVAL-CTM008V1 current sensing board
Step 1. Mount the STEVAL-CTM004V1 power board on the heatsink.
Use standard thermal interface material or a graphite sheet for high thermal conductivity.
Step 2. Connect the STEVAL-CTM004V1 power board with the STEVAL-CTM007V1 driver board.
– Use connectors CON5, CON6, CON7 and J3 on the STEVAL-CTM004V1 power board.
– Use connectors CON1, CON3, CON4 and J2 on the STEVAL-CTM007V1 driver board.
Step 3. Connect the control board:
– If you use the STEVAL-TTM002V1 control board (not included in the kit):
◦ Use connectors J1 and J4 on the STEVAL-CTM007V1 driver board.
◦ Use connectors CON5 and CON2 on the STEVAL-TTM002V1 control board.
– If you use a different control board:
◦ Use connectors J1 and J4 on the driver board to connect your control board.
Step 4. Mount the STEVAL-CTM005V1 bus link capacitor board on the STEVAL-CTM004V1 power board.
Step 5. Set up the STEVAL-TTM002V1 control board (optional, if present).
Step 6. Set up the STEVAL-CTM007V1 driver board.
Close jumper S1, S2 or S3 to read one of the three NTCs on the power stage.
Step 7. Connect the flat cable between CON2 on the STEVAL-CTM007V1 driver board and J1 on the STEVAL-
CTM008V1 current sensing board.
Step 8. Connect a 48 VDC power supply to the CTM005V1 bus link capacitor board.
Step 9. Connect a 12 VDC power supply to the JP1 connector to the STEAVL-CTM007V1.
Step 10. Connect the phase motor cables to the STEVAL-CTM004V1 power board.
Step 11. Turn on the 48 VDC power supply to the CTM005V1 bus link capacitor board.
Step 12. Turn on the 12 VDC power supply to the STEVAL-CTM007V1.
7.1 Connectors
In addition to the connector used for the supply voltage, the driving board has connectors to plug it to the power
board and the control board, and to receive external signals.
•Connector for supply voltage: provided at JP1 (8 to 36 V).
• Connectors to the power board:
–CON1, CON3 and CON4: for power MOSFET driving and NTC sensing.
– J2: connector for DC bus voltage sensing (for undervoltage and overvoltage protection).
• Connectors to the control board
– J1: motor control connector, including signals like fault management, bus voltage monitoring, power
board temperature sensing and current sensing.
– J4: connector used for SPI communication.
