STMicroelectronics STM32 | Demoboard STM32 STEVAL-GLA001V1

Description

The STEVAL-GLA001V1 evaluation board is designed to help you develop applications with insulated control of three AC loads up to 1 kW (230 Vrms) using Triacs and AC switches instead of relays.To control the STEVAL-GLA001V1, you can use a NUCLEO-F030R8 development board which allows three AC switch controlmodes for load control: continuous or pulse gate current, a timer option, and phase control. You can use also any externalmicrocontroller.Once you have installed the relevant firmware (freely available at STSW-GLA001V1) on the NUCLEO-F030R8 development board, you can start adjusting the main parameters through a common serial interface like HyperTerminal.The STEVAL-GLA001V1 evaluation board features a wide input voltage range, low standby power losses, IEC61000-4-4robustness and two low voltage power supplies.The targeted applications are residential appliances requiring insulation between microcontroller and mains voltage, such aswashing machines and dish washers, micro-wave ovens, cookers, ovens, soya-milk makers, printers, air-conditioners, fridges,water-heaters and heaters.
