STMicroelectronics STM32 Power Shield X-NUCLEO-LPM01A with power monitoring technology

Click2Contact

STMicroelectronics’ STM32 Power Shield enables developers to check the power consumption of their embedded designs, using the same hardware chosen by EEMBC as the reference platform for the IoTConnect and ULPMark (Energy Monitor V2.0) benchmarking frameworks.

Compatible with STM32 Nucleo development boards, the STM32 Power Shield (X-NUCLEO-LPM01A) dynamically monitors the current under various operating conditions. It has a built-in display that allows current to be read directly and eliminates the need to use a multimeter.

When used with EEMBC IoTConnect and/or ULPMark, the STM32 Power Shield offers an extended GUI for direct benchmark measurements and energy display. The measurement range, from 100 nA to 50 mA, is suitable for testing small devices that face stringent power limits, such as Internet of Things (IoT) endpoints.

With the companion graphical PC application STM32CubeMonitor-Power (STM32CUBEMON-PWR) included, the product gives detailed insights that would otherwise require an oscilloscope or other test gear. Among the user-friendly features of the multi-OS tool, which can run in various desktop environments, energy profiling gives engineers valuable information to help optimise power consumption.
