STMicroelectronics STM32 D-Power ecosystem

Click2Contact

STMicroelectronics has launched a web-based ecosystem to help designers build digital power solutions using STM32 microcontrollers (MCUs).

Digital power supplies are an emerging class of devices able to optimise energy efficiency and capture rich data for diagnostics and safety. Digital control also lets designers increase power density to realise size and weight savings that are important in data centres, 5G infrastructure, smart lighting and mobile devices.

The STM32 D-Power website consolidates developer resources that include the all-in-one STM32 digital-power Discovery Kits, embedded software components, software tools created by Biricha Digital and dedicated power-supply boards that demonstrate various designs and power ratings. Documentation, videos and guides cater for beginners up to expert power-supply designers, and a four-day hands-on workshop created by Biricha shows how to build digital power supplies using STM32 MCUs.

The ecosystem is scaled to support three levels of STM32 microcontrollers that combine the benefits of industry-standard Arm Cortex-M cores with integrated features optimised for digital-power applications. The entry-level STM32F334, advanced STM32G474 and high-performance STM32H7 series MCUs each contain a flexible high-resolution timer to generate pulse-width modulated (PWM) signals for stable control of switched-mode power circuits.

The ecosystem helps designers learn about, design in and take advantage of digital power to create solutions that are small, light and smart. Users ranging from beginners to experienced designers can enhance their expertise and accelerate development of digital-power applications leveraging the high feature integration and efficiencies of the STM32 family.
