Introduction
The STEVAL-CTM015V1 evaluation kit is designed to provide a complete solution for a three-phase Switched Reluctance Motor
(SRM) drives based on the asymmetric half bridge flexible converter topology.
It is composed by the STEVAL-CTM015A1 drive board, the STEVAL-CTM015A2 power board, and an heatsink already
assembled. Additional information is available in the Ordering information of this document.
The drive board features a DC-DC power supply based on VIPER26, LD1117, STM32F303 as MCU, L6395D high voltage
single-chip high and low-side gate drivers for N-channel power MOSFETs or IGBTs.
The power board features an insulated metal substrate (IMS), NTCs for thermal protection, decoupling gate resistors for each
IGBT, LMV331I comparators for over current protection, STGB30H60DFB trench gate field-stop together with STTH15RQ06
Turbo 2 Soft Ultrafast Recovery Diode.
The STEVAL-CTM015V1 features by default the three-shunts resistors current sensing network based on TSV991IL, but the
board supports the Insulated Current Sensors (ICS) for phase currents reading.

2 Getting started
2.1 Safety precautions
2.2 General terms
All operations involving transportation, installation and use, as well as maintenance, has to be carried out by
skilled technical personnel (national accident prevention rules must be observed). For the purpose of these basic
safety instructions, "skilled technical personnel" are considered as suitably qualified people who are familiar with
the installation, use, and maintenance of power electronic systems.
Danger: • Use the board only after applying a fire-resistant cover. The cover is not included in
the board package.
• There is danger of serious personal injury, property damage or death due to electrical
shock and burn hazards if the kit or components are improperly used or installed
incorrectly.
Warning: • The kit is not electrically isolated from the high-voltage supply AC-DC input.
• The evaluation board is directly linked to the mains voltage. No insulation is ensured
between the accessible parts and the high voltage. All measurement equipment must
be isolated from the mains before powering the board.
• When using an oscilloscope with the evaluation board, it must be isolated from the
AC line.This prevents shock from occurring as a result of touching any single point in
the circuit, butdoes NOT prevent shock when touching two or more points in the
circuit.
• Attention Observe Precautions For Handling Electrostatic Discharge Sensitive
Device.

2.6 Electrical safety
Remove power supply from the evaluation board and electrical loads before performing any electrical
measurement.
Arrange measurement setup, wiring and configuration paying attention to high voltage sections.
Once the setup is complete, power the board.
Do not touch the evaluation board when it is powered or immediately after it has been disconnected from the
voltage supply as several parts and power terminals containing potentially energized capacitors need time to
discharge, and heat-sinks and transformers may still be very hot. The kit is not electrically isolated from the AC-
DC input.
Warning: The evaluation kit is provided without enclosures as required by such kind of kits designed
for the research and development activities.
It is strongly recommended to use a transparent and insulating removable enclosure, during
the tests as protection against:
• direct or indirect contact with dangerous voltages,
• electric arcs generation
2.7 Personal Safety
Always wear suitable personal protective equipment, such as insulating gloves and safety glasses.
Take adequate precautions and install the board preventing accidental touch.
Use protective shields, such as insulating box with interlocks.
2.8 Storage of charge
The bulk capacitors can maintain the charge for some time after removing the DC power supply. Ensure the
VBUS red led is switched-off before to handle the board.
2.9 High temperature and flammability
Warning: The evaluation kit is provided without enclosures as required by such kind of kits designed
for the research and development activities. The user is strongly advised not to leave the
system without supervision white it is power supplied and to take care not to place
flammable materials nearby.
2.10 Dangerous surface or edges
Pay attention to sharp pins.

3.1 DC input voltage
3.1.1 Voltage connection
The DC Link voltage must be provided through the CN5 screw connector.
Caution: Use only insulated laboratory power supply featuring current limitation and protection to power supply the
evaluation kit.
3.1.2 Input voltage modes
The evaluation kit allows to configure two different modalities regarding the 15 V voltage and subsequent 5 V and
3.3 V:
•INT_15V mode: Internal 15 V voltage generation through on-board DC-DC flyback converter
•EXT_15V mode: External 15 V is provided by laboratory DC power supply
3.1.3 Internal 15 V mode selection
The board features a DC-DC flyback converter for 15V generation (INT_15V), based on VIPer26L device.
Close the jumper J16 between 1-2 pins and J17 between 1-2 pins to enable this conversion stage.
In this case ensure that no voltage is provided on CN6 connector (Ext15V) .
Figure 8. Internal 15 V mode activation details
3.1.4 External 15 V mode selection
The DC-DC flyback converter for 15V generation can be disabled leaving open the jumper J16 1-2 pins and
closing J17 between 2-3 pins.
In In this case an external voltage 15 ± 1V (EXT_15V) must be provided using the CN6 connector.

UM3174 - Rev 1 page 9/44
3.1.5 DC-Link Voltage range
• If INT_15V mode is used the tested range voltage is 360 - 420V allowing the right behavior of the flyback
converter.
• If EXT_15V mode is used the maximum DC Link is 420 V and there is not limitations about its minimum
value.
Caution: Do not handle the board while the VBUS red led is switched-on even if the voltage source has been switched-off
since the bulk capacitors can maintain for some time a storage of charge.
3.2 Motor terminals connection
The six terminals U1, U2, V1, V2, W1, W2, of the switched reluctance motor (SRM) must be connected,
respectively, to the CN2, CN3 and CN4 screw connector.
The connection should respect that the current is outgoing from the U1, V1, W1 connections, respectively.
3.3 Push buttons
The RESET button (SW1) performs the reset of the STM32.
The USER button (SW2) is a general-purpose button, that the user can configure to perform any action, for
example, start-stop motor rotation.
3.4 Switch mode selection
The evaluation kit features both soft and hard chopping.
The first is a technique that consists of in to apply a PWM signal to the high side power switch leaving switched-
on the low side during the entire phase turn-on period.
The second consists of apply to both high and low-side power switched the same PWM signal during the phase
turn-on period.
Table 2. Jumper configuration
Mode Jumper configuration
Soft Chopping J1, J2, J3: between 2-3
Hard Chopping J1, J2, J3: between 1-2
3.5 Speed/position sensor
The speed/Position sensor network is designed to support Quadrature Incremental Encoder (A, B, Z signals) or
other digital sensor based on pulse signals such as Hall effect sensors.
The input connector is the CN10 and connect the A, B, Z (or H1, H2, H3) signal in the 1,2.3 pins, respectively, and
sensor Vcc and GND on the 4 and 5 pins.
Figure 10. CN10 connector position sensor
Vcc pin of CN10 connector is the sensor supply voltage and it can be selected through the J39 connector,
between 5.5V and 3.3V, both provided by the on-board DC-DC power supply. Provide external voltage (max 12V)
directly between the SENSOR_VCC (pin 2) and GND (pin 4) pins (see Table 3. Sensor supplying voltage
selection for more details).
