Basic thermostat control board for cooling applications
Features
■ Capacitive power supply providing
approximately 30 mA at 220 VAC 50 Hz
■ Temperature level regulation (potentiometer)
■ Temperature measurement input (external
NTC 5k)
■ Zero voltage switching (ZVS) to synchronize
the gate pulses with the mains
■ Stall rotor detection via AC switch temperature
monitoring
■ ST7Ultralite 8-bit, 8-pin MCU running at 1 MHz
(internal clock)
■ ICC programming connector
Description
STEVAL-IHT002V1
based on ST7LITEUS5
Data Brief
STEVAL-IHT002V1
The STEVAL-IHT002V1 is a low-cost evaluation
board designed to replace existing mechanical
thermostats. While driving a compressor, the
evaluation board is also capable of driving the
RUN winding, replacing the PTC and directly
driving the START winding. Stall rotor detection is
also implemented. These functions are oriented
towards reducing total power consumption. The
evaluation board is based on the new low-cost, 8pin, 8-bit ST7Ultralite microcontroller (MCU),
which controls the entire process. The MCU is
equipped with programmable Flash memory, a 1
MHz internal clock source and runs 1 KB C-based
software. Although the evaluation board is
specially designed to drive small to mid-size
compressors, it is fully customizable and
adaptable to any other application where
thermostat or temperature control is required.
