X-NUCLEO-IHM08M1 Hardware Description
The X-NUCLEO-IHM08M1 is a three-phase brushless DC motor driver
expansion board based on the STL220N6F7 (STripFET™ F7 Power
MOSFET) for STM32 Nucleo. The combination of STL220N6F7 and
L6398 (IC driver) forms the high current power platform for the BLDC
motor and the digital section based on the STM32 Nucleo board offers 6step or FOC algorithm control solutions. It is compatible with the ST
morpho connector and supports the addition of other boards which can be
connected with a single STM32 Nucleo board. The user can also mount
the Arduino™ UNO R3 connector.
Main features
• 3-phase driver board for BLDC/PMSM motors.
• Nominal operating voltage range: 8 V - 48 V DC.
• Maximum output peak current: 30 A.
• Nominal RMS output current: 15A
• Thermal monitoring and overheating protection.
• 3-Shunt and 1-Shunt configurable jumpers for motor current sensing.
• Hall / Encoder motor sensor connector and circuit.
• Potentiometer available for speed regulation.
• User LED
• RoHS compliant.

X-CUBE-SPN8 Software Description
The X-CUBE-SPN8 is an expansion software package for
STM32Cube. The software runs on the STM32 and includes
drivers that recognize, initialize and send application commands
to the L6398 device.
It is compatible with the NUCLEO-F302R8 or the NUCLEO-
F401RE when connected to one or more X-NUCLEO-IHM08M1
expansion boards.
Key features
• Complete firmware package to build motor control applications
based on L6398 gate drivers and STL220N6F7 Power
MOSFETs (X-NUCLEO-IHM08M1).
• API function available to send any application command to
motor driver
• Example implementation to control one low voltage three
phase BLDC/PMSM motor, available on board X-NUCLEOIHM08M1 expansion board when plugged to NUCLEOF302R8 or NUCLEO-F01RE
• Easy portability across different MCU families, thanks to
STM32Cube
• Free, user-friendly license terms
