UM2095 User manual Getting started with the X-NUCLEO-IHM11M1 low voltage 3-phase brushless DC motor driver expansion board based on STSPIN230 Introduction The X-NUCLEO-IHM11M1 is a low voltage three-phase brushless DC motor driver expansion board based on STSPIN230 for STM32 Nucleo. It is an affordable and easy-to-use solution with motor driver operation in low voltage battery scenarios, allowing zero consumption state (such as in thermal printers, robotics, toys, etc..). The X-NUCLEO-IHM11M1 is compatible with the Arduino UNO R3 and the ST morpho connectors and supports the addition of other boards to a single STM32 Nucleo board. Furthermore, the board is designed for six-step and FOC algorithms.

The device is protected against overload and short-circuits: short to ground, short to motor supply voltage, short between the outputs. If one of the failure events occurs, the fault signal is set and the fault LED D5 is lit (red). The STSPIN230 is compatible with single shunt current sense measurement. The current feedback signal conditioning is performed by hardware available on the board and sent to the STM32 Nucleo board through the CN7 ST morpho connector (pin 28). Motor speed regulation can be performed by hardware, by acting on trimmer R12. In this way, you can change the reference used by STM32 firmware for speed regulation. The X-NUCLEO-IHM11M1 expansion board provides two hardware solutions for motor position feedback: one based on sensors and the other one based on sensorless detection. 4.1 Hall/encoder motor speed sensor The X-NUCLEO-IHM11M1 expansion board implements the Hall/encoder sensor detection circuit for motor speed feedback. The motor sensor feedback is connected through the J3 connector and an analog circuit to the STM32 Nucleo board in order to detect the motor rotation. For sensors requiring external pull-up, three 10 kΩ resistors are already mounted and connected to the VDD voltage (if these are not necessary, you can remove them). The J4 jumper (closed by default) protects the Hall’s input lines connecting them to VDD voltage through a small-signal Schottky diode. 4.2 Sensorless detection In six-step driving mode, one of the three phases is left in high impedance state: comparing this phase voltage with the center-tap voltage, we can detect the BEMF zero-crossing. This signal is acquired through an analog circuit embedded on the expansion board and sent to the STM32 Nucleo board through the ST morpho connectors. For each different STM32 Nucleo development board, the BEFM3 driver input can be selected through a dedicated resistor, as indicated in the table below.

This signal is acquired with a resistor divider from the motor supply voltage (VBUS) and sent to the analog to digital converter (connector CN7 pin 30).
