ST EVLSPIN32G4-ACT User manual

Introduction
The EVLSPIN32G4-ACT is a reference design for implementing next generation smart actuators, based on the STSPIN32G4, a
system-in-package integrating in a 9x9 mm VFQFPN package, a triple high-performance half-bridge gate driver with a rich set of
programmable features and a mixed signal STM32G431 microcontroller.
The board is designed to drive three-phase brushless motors up to 5 Arms output current and 48 V supply input delivering a total
power of 250W in a very compact form factor (62 mm x 50 mm). Monitoring is available for the power stage in case of
overheating, overvoltage, and overcurrent. The sensing of motor winding currents can be selected between three-shunt or
single-shunt topology. The board is ready for FOC and 6-step control algorithms and can run in sensor-less and sensor-based
mode using Hall sensors or quadrature encoder.
Thanks to a smooth interfacing with STWIN.box development kit and a complete software and firmware ecosystem, the motor
inverter is empowered by wired and wireless connectivity (RS485, UART, USB, CAN, and Bluetooth® Low Energy, Wi-Fi, NFC),
a plethora of inertial end environmental sensors (accelerometer, gyroscope, inclinometer, magnetometer, humidity, temperature,
pressure), and data storage onboard (microSD™ card) making EVLSPIN32G4-ACT a perfect suit for cutting edge motor control
solutions such as IoT, condition monitoring, and predictive maintenance.

1 Safety and operating instructions
1.1 General terms
During assembly, testing, and operation, the evaluation board poses several inherent hazards, including bare
wires, moving or rotating parts and hot surfaces.
Danger: There is danger of serious personal injury or death due to electrical shock, property damage
and burn hazards if the kit or components are improperly used or installed incorrectly
The kit is not electrically isolated from the high-voltage supply DC input. The evaluation board is directly linked to
the mains voltage. No insulation is ensured between the accessible parts and the high voltage. All measuring
equipment must be isolated from the mains before powering the board. When using an oscilloscope with the
demo, it must be isolated from the DC line. This prevents the occurrence of shock when touching any single point
in the circuit but does not prevent shock when touching two or more points in the circuit. All operations involving
transportation, installation, use, and maintenance must be performed by skilled technical personnel able to
understand and implement national accident prevention regulations. For the purposes of these basic safety
instructions, “skilled technical personnel” are suitably qualified people who are familiar with the installation, use,
and maintenance of power electronic systems.
1.2 Intended use of evaluation board
The board is designed for evaluation purposes only and must not be used for electrical installations or machinery.
Technical data and information concerning the power supply conditions are detailed in the documentation and
should be strictly observed.
1.3 Installing the evaluation board
• The installation and cooling of the evaluation board must be in accordance with the specifications and
target application.
• The motor drive converters must be protected against excessive strain. Components should not be bent, or
isolating distances altered during transportation or handling.
• No contact must be made with other electronic components and contacts.
• The board contains electrostatically sensitive components that are prone to damage if used incorrectly. Do
not mechanically damage or destroy the electrical components (potential health risks).
1.4 Operating the evaluation board
To operate properly the board, follow these safety rules.
1. Work area safety:
– The work area must be clean and tidy.
– Do not work alone when boards are energized.
– Protect against inadvertent access to the area where the board is energized using suitable barriers
and signs.
– A system architecture that supplies power to the evaluation board must be equipped with additional
control and protective devices in accordance with the applicable safety requirements (that is,
compliance with technical equipment and accident prevention rules).
– Use a non-conductive and stable work surface.
– Use adequately insulated clamps and wires to attach measurement probes and instruments.
UM3168
Safety and operating instructions
UM3168 - Rev 1 page 2/26

2. Electrical safety:
– Remove power supply from the board and electrical loads before performing any electrical
measurement.
– Proceed with the arrangement of measurement set-up, wiring, or configuration paying attention to high
voltage sections.
– Once the set-up is complete, energize the board.
Danger: Do not touch the evaluation board when it is energized or immediately after it has been
disconnected from the voltage supply as several parts and power terminals containing
potentially energized capacitors need time to discharge. Do not touch the board after
disconnection from the voltage supply as several parts like heatsinks and transformers
may still be very hot. The kit is not electrically isolated from the DC input. The USB
interface of the board does not insulate host computer from high voltage. When the
board is supplied at a voltage outside the ELV range, a proper insulation method such
as a USB isolator must be used to operate the board.
3. Personal safety:
– Always wear suitable personal protective equipment such as insulated gloves and safety glasses.
– Take adequate precautions and install the board in such a way to prevent accidental touch. Use
protective shields such as an insulating box with interlocks if necessary.

5.3 Programming and debugging
The EVLSPIN32G4-ACT board provides a CON11 connector to program firmware on the STSPIN32G4. CON11
provides an STDC14 pinout featuring both SWD and UART interfaces that simplify communication with the PC
through the virtual COM port. One STLINK-V3SET debugger/programmer can be mated to CON11 using its flat
cable. The mating of this flat cable with CON11 must be with the plastic notch toward the upper side.
5.4 Hall sensors and encoders
The EVLSPIN32G4-ACT board supports two types of sensors for position feedback of the motor:
1. Digital Hall sensors.
2. Quadrature encoder.
Inputs for digital Hall sensors or quadrature encoders are available on CON10 connector (Table 3).
For sensors requiring an external pull-up, three 10 kΩ resistors are already mounted on the output lines and
connected to the 3.3 V voltage. Each line is filtered by an RC low-pass filter and footprints for pull-down resistors
are also available.
Solder jumpers allow to select the sensors supply voltage (only one solder jumper must be mounted):
• SB3 closed for 5 V supply (default configuration).
• SB4 closed for VCC (8 V to 15 V) supply.
• SB5 closed for 3.3 V supply.
Sensor outputs are connected to PB6, PB7, and PB8 pins of the microcontroller and can be routed to channels
TIM_CH1, TIM_CH2, and TIM_CH3 of timer TIM4 respectively.

Connection with STWIN.box and sensor board
UM3168 - Rev 1 page 9/26

The connector CON6 that is positioned on the top layer of the board allows for mating with the STWIN.box board
through the flexible cable FLX1 provided in the kit.
The connector CON7 that is positioned below CON6 on the bottom layer of the board, allows for mating with an
external sensor board like the STEVAL-C34AT01 through the flex cable provided within the sensor board kit
(STEVAL-C34KAT1).
Refer to Figure 3 for proper mating of EVLSPIN32G4-ACT with STWIN.box and sensor board.
Figure 3. Mating of EVLSPIN32G4-ACT with STWIN.box and STEVAL-C34AT01
Warning: The flex cable and its 34-pin connectors as well as the complementary connectors on the
boards could be easily damaged in case of improper mating. Care must be paid when
connecting and disconnecting the flex cable or during handling of the assembly. The safest
way to disconnect the cable is by pulling it next to the connectors using tweezers.
Three connection schemes are possible:
1. Master mode: The EVLSPIN32G4-ACT is connected only to the sensor board through CON7. The
EVLSPIN32G4-ACT supplies the sensor board and communicates with it as a master.
2. Slave mode: The EVLSPIN32G4-ACT is connected only to the STWIN.box through CON6. Each board has
independent supply and EVLSPIN32G4-ACT communicates with STWIN.box as a slave.
3. Pass-through mode: The EVLSPIN32G4-ACT is connected to STWIN.box and sensor board respectively
through CON6 and CON7. The EVLSPIN32G4-ACT supplies the sensor board and the STWIN.box can
communicate as master with both the slaves EVLSPIN32G4-ACT and sensor board.
When using slave mode or pass-through mode it is possible to supply the STWIN.box through the 5 V voltage
regulator of EVLSPIN32G4-ACT. In this case, use the wire jumper CN6 provided in the kit to connect CON9 of
EVLSPIN32G4-ACT to the screw connector CON2 of STWIN.box. To facilitate the wiring, this screw connector is
positioned close to the corresponding connector of EVLSPIN32G4-ACT when using the four board spacers (SP1,
SP2, SP3, and SP4) provided in the kit as shown in Figure 3. The PCB of EVLSPIN32G4-ACT has one hole close
to CON9 allowing to use a screwdriver after staking up the boards.
Protection series resistors (from R35 to R48) are provided on all signal lines connecting the STSPIN32G4. These
resistors protect in case of conflicting levels between master and slave sides limiting the current flowing through
device pins. This could occur in case of wrong mating orientation for the 34-pin connectors or in case of wrong
device configuration, for example, one end of the line is pulled low by STWIN.box microcontroller, and the other
end is simultaneously pulled high by STSPIN32G4.
5.6 Overcurrent protection
The EVLSPIN32G4-ACT board implements double protection of the power stage from overcurrent condition
thanks to:
1. Drain-source voltage monitoring of each power MOSFET.
2. Comparators sensing the shunt current.
UM3168
Overcurrent protection
UM3168 - Rev 1 page 10/26

5.6.1 Drain-source voltage monitoring
The STSPIN32G4 embeds a circuitry which measures the voltage between the drain and the source of each
MOSFET (VDS) and compares it with a specified threshold. When the MOSFET is turned on and its VDS is greater
than the threshold, the anomalous condition is detected, and the protection is triggered after a deglitch time: all
MOSFETs are turned off whatever the driving inputs.
The threshold is set on the SCREF pins of the STSPIN32G4 at approximately 1.03 V, through the resistor dividers
given by R4 and R5.
The STSPIN32G4 provides configurable deglitch filtering time via firmware to 2 µs, 3 µs, 4 µs, and 6 µs (default).
The protections remain latched when triggered: the STSPIN32G4 returns operative forcing all the driving inputs
low for at least 100 us or via firmware procedure.
The voltage drop on each low-side MOSFET is measured between its drain and GND, therefore the voltage drop
on the shunt resistor contributes to the measure.
Although not recommended, the protections can be disabled replacing R4 with a jumper and removing R5.
For details about VDS monitoring refer to the STSPIN32G4 datasheet.
5.6.2 Embedded comparators
The EVLSPIN32G4-ACT board implements overcurrent protection with the comparator integrated in the
STSPIN32G4. The motor current is measured via the voltage drop produced on shunt resistors. When peak
current exceeds a selected threshold, the protection is triggered.
The protection requires the configuration of the fast rail-to-rail comparators COMP1, COMP2, and COMP4. The
positive inputs of the comparators must be connected to PA1, PA7, and PB0 pins of the microcontroller where the
current measures from shunt resistors are available while negative inputs can be internally connected to DAC
channels or a partition of the internal reference voltage, Vrefint, to set a proper overcurrent threshold.
With reference to Figure 6, the overcurrent threshold can be derived with the following Eq. (1).
Equation 1
 =   +15//18
17+15//18 15 + 17//18 17//18 1
(1)
• is the resulting overcurrent threshold.
• is the threshold voltage applied to the comparator negative input.
• + is the voltage of VREFP pin (3.3 V by default).
• is the value of the shunt resistor (20 mΩ by default).
Overcurrent thresholds computed for different threshold voltages are reported in Table 6.
Table 6. Overcurrent thresholds

DAC (VDAC - 0.150 V)  55 A/V
Vrefint 58 A
3/4 Vrefint 42 A
1/2 Vrefint 25 A
1/4 Vrefint 8 A
To avoid spurious triggering of the protection, a digital deglitch filtering or blanking can be also configured. For
details refer to the STM32G4 reference manual.
5.7 Current sensing
The EVLSPIN32G4-ACT board provides the sensing of current flowing through motor windings in both directions
as required by the Field Oriented Control algorithm.
With reference to the schematic in Figure 7, the sensing is based on the operational amplifiers (op amps)
integrated in the STM32G431 microcontroller. Three configurations are possible.
UM3168
Current sensing
UM3168 - Rev 1 page 11/26

5.7.1 Two standalone op amps
Two op amps can be used to acquire currents of two motor windings at a time and derive the third. In this
configuration it is possible to always acquire the same currents, for example, U and V and derive W current, or
rather implement a multiplexing of op amps. With reference to Table 7 the non-inverting inputs of OPAMP1 can be
alternatively connected to PA1 or PA7 while non-inverting input of OPAMP2 can be connected to PA7 or PB0. For
the gain of the network refer to the next case.
Table 7. Multiplexing of op amps
Measured current with OPAMP1 Measured current with OPAMP2 Derived current
U on PA1 V by PA7 W = -(U+V)
V by PA7 W by PB0 U = -(V+W)
U by PA1 W by PB0 V = -(U+W)
5.7.2 Three standalone op amps
In this configuration all three op amps integrated in the STM32G431 microcontroller are used. A differential
current sensing is implemented for better rejection of common-mode signal.
The op amp outputs PA2, PA6, and PB1 (test points TP3, TP4, and TP5) can be routed to channel 1 of ADC1,
channel 3 of ADC2 and channel 12 of ADC1 respectively to implement current measurements.
According to Eq. (2), the gain of the network is:
Equation 2

=
* = 10 * 20 Ω = 0.2 

(2)
• is the amplified output voltage.
• is the current flowing through motor winding.
• is the gain of the amplifying network.
• is the value of shunt resistor.
Footprints are available to mount filtering capacitors on op amps' feedback (C23, C25, and C27).
5.7.3 Three PGAs
The operational amplifiers embedded in the STSPIN32G4 can be configured in Programmable Gain Amplifier
(PGA) mode. In this case, the external feedback networks are not needed and the op amp outputs can also be
internally connected to ADCs.
Resistor networks on the op amps' non-inverting pins should be modified to have op amp output voltage in idle
state close to VREF+/2 to optimize ADC dynamic range. The following Table 8 can be used to adjust resistor
values according to the selected PGA gain (values are proportional to integrated resistors of PGA).
With the resistor values reported in table the gain of the network is:
Equation 3


• is the amplified output voltage.
• is the current flowing in motor winding.
• is the PGA gain in inverting configuration.
• is the value of shunt resistor.

1. Computed with Eq. ( 3)
In case shunt resistors are not changed, a PGA gain of 8 is suggested. For computation of new overcurrent
thresholds see Section 5.6.2.
5.8 Single shunt conversion
The board is configured for three-shunt operations but can be easily converted to single-shunt as described
below:
• Close the two solder jumpers JP1 and JP2 located on the top side of the board in proximity of the shunt
resistors. Make sure to close both the solder jumpers for their entire length to ensure good electrical
connection and to avoid malfunctions.
• Disconnect shunt resistors R8 and R14.
The board is now converted to single-shunt with OPAMP2 used to amplify the signal from shunt R11.
5.9 Bus voltage sensing
The EVLSPIN32G4-ACT board provides the sensing of bus voltage that can be used in firmware to protect in
case of undervoltage or overvoltage. This signal is set through a voltage divider with attenuation 0.04 by the
motor supply voltage (resistors R20 and R21) and sent to the PA0 pin of the microcontroller. PA0 can be
connected to the positive input of comparator COMP3 or to channel 1 of ADC1 and ADC2.
5.10 PCB temperature sensing
The board provides one NTC thermistor placed in proximity of the power stage to sense the temperature of the
surrounding MOSFETs. The thermistor can be used in firmware to implement thermal shutdown and protect the
power stage in case of overheating. The NTC signal is available on the PC4 pin of the MCU and can be routed to
channel 5 of ADC2.
The following Eq. (4), derived from β model of NTC thermistor, can be used to obtain temperature estimate from
voltage value on PC4:

5.11 CAN bus predisposition
A predisposition for CAN bus is available on the board.
The STSPIN32G4 integrates one FDCAN communication interface to manage data layer of CAN protocol. The
interface is compliant with ISO 11898-1: 2015 (CAN protocol specification version 2.0 part A, B) and CAN FD
protocol specification version 1.0. The physical layer of the CAN protocol is managed by an external transceiver,
the TCAN330.
R50 can be mounted in case bus termination is needed. Connection to the CAN bus is available via the CON8
connector which also provides one terminal for cable shielding with optional connection to board ground via solder
jumper SB2.
