Product details
Overview
EVALSTDRIVE101 from STMicroelectronics is a demonstration board built around the STDRIVE101 three-phase gate driver IC and six STL110N10F7 PowerFLAT™ 5x6 N-channel MOSFETs, designed to drive brushless DC motors up to 20 Arms continuous at 6–75 V bus voltage. It supports both FOC and six-step control algorithms with configurable single- or three-shunt current sensing, integrated VDS monitoring, overcurrent protection via internal comparator, and BEMF/Hall sensor interface circuitry.
For engineers reviewing the EVALSTDRIVE101 datasheet, EVALSTDRIVE101 pinout, EVALSTDRIVE101 application, or EVALSTDRIVE101 equivalent, this board enables rapid evaluation of STDRIVE101's dual-input strategies (enable/input with adjustable deadtime or direct interlocked driving), real-time motor phase voltage/current sensing, thermal monitoring via on-board NTC, and seamless integration with STM32 microcontrollers through its standardized 34-pin motor control connector.
Technical Context
The board implements a full three-phase inverter stage using discrete STL110N10F7 MOSFETs (100 V, 110 A peak, RDS(on) = 8.5 mΩ) arranged in high-side/low-side pairs per phase, each driven by dedicated outputs of the STDRIVE101 QFN-24 gate driver. The driver integrates bootstrap diodes, fault reporting (nFAULT), and programmable deadtime generation via DT_MODE pin.
Current sensing is implemented via three 10 mΩ, 3 W shunt resistors (R23–R27) with selectable configuration (JP2–JP4), feeding into TSV991AIQ operational amplifiers for signal conditioning. Hall/BEMF networks include pull-up/pull-down biasing (R43–R49), filtering (C19–C21), and level-shifting (D11–D14) to support both digital Hall and analog back-EMF commutation schemes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 6 V to 75 V DC - supports wide-input industrial and battery-powered BLDC applications including e-bikes and power tools. |
| Continuous Output Current | 20 Arms - sustained motor phase current rating limited by thermal design and shunt resistor power dissipation. |
| Peak Current (OC Enabled) | 35 A - maximum short-duration current before overcurrent protection triggers and asserts nFAULT. |
| Motor Control Interface | 34-pin 2×17 header compatible with STM32 Nucleo, Discovery, and custom boards - provides GPIO, PWM, ADC, and Hall/BEMF signals. |
| Current Sensing Options | Configurable single-shunt or three-shunt topology - enables trade-off between cost (single-shunt) and precision (three-shunt) in FOC implementations. |
| Thermal Monitoring | Vishay NTCS0603E3103FMT NTC (10 kΩ @ 25°C) mounted near power stage - provides PCB temperature feedback for thermal derating or shutdown logic. |
| Protection Features | VDS sensing per MOSFET + internal comparator-based overcurrent detection - enables cycle-by-cycle current limiting without external hardware. |

FAQ
What microcontrollers is EVALSTDRIVE101 compatible with?
EVALSTDRIVE101 features a standardized 34-pin motor control connector that matches STM32 Nucleo-64/144 and Discovery boards (e.g., NUCLEO-G431RB, STM32F303RE, STM32G474RE). Pin mapping follows ST's Motor Control SDK conventions for PWM, ADC, GPIO, and Hall inputs - no adapter required for supported STM32 families.
Does EVALSTDRIVE101 support sensorless control?
Yes - the board includes dedicated BEMF sensing networks (H1-BEMF1, H2-BEMF2, H3-BEMF3) with RC filtering and op-amp conditioning (U2–U4), enabling robust sensorless FOC or six-step commutation. Default jumper settings route phase voltages to comparator inputs, and firmware examples are provided in ST's MCSDK v6.x.
Can I use EVALSTDRIVE101 with 48 V battery systems?
Yes - the board accepts 6–75 V DC input, making it fully compatible with nominal 48 V battery packs (typically 42–54.6 V operating range). The STL110N10F7 MOSFETs and STDRIVE101 gate driver are rated for 100 V drain-source and 75 V bootstrap operation, ensuring safe margin under transient conditions.
Is heatsinking required for 20 A continuous operation?
Yes - the included HS1 heatsink (75 × 74.6 × 15 mm) with thermal interposer and M3 screws is mandatory for 20 Arms continuous duty at ambient ≤40°C. Without it, thermal throttling begins above ~12 A due to power dissipation across six MOSFETs and shunt resistors - verified in ST's DB4298 thermal characterization data.
