Evaluation and Demonstration Boards and Kits

The STEVAL-IHP005V1 application field and working principle is a great example of the different types of evaluation and demonstration boards and kits that are out there. These kinds of boards and kits are used when designing electronics projects, to help engineers and hobbyists get a good idea of what their design will look like in the form of a prototype.

STEVAL-IHP005V1 is a multi-application, low-voltage buck/boost microcontroller-based evaluation board with an integrated high-power MOSFET. The board provides a feature-rich platform to evaluate ST\'s low-voltage, buck/boost converters and the functions they offer to the user. The STEVAL-IHP005V1 board can control buck, boost, or multi-topology (buck/boost) outputs through a combination of programming and external circuitry.

The STEVAL-IHP005V1 board includes a microcontroller-based hardware platform with multiple components to manipulate various control algorithms. It includes an advanced PWM controller, a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M processor, a DC/DC buck/boost converter, a high power MOSFET, diagnostic LEDs, an integrated analog-to-digital converter (ADC), and an I/O expansion. It also comes with a graphical user interface (GUI) to control and monitor the performance of the board in real-time.

The STEVAL-IHP005V1 board is designed to operate in low-voltage, buck/boost applications, and converters up to 50W. It offers a wide input voltage range from 3.2V to 16V, and has the ability to step-up/step-down voltage output. It requires only 4 external components to start, in addition to the STEVAL-IHP005V1 board, making it a simple and convenient solution for designing low-power and high-power DC/DC buck/boost converter systems.

The STEVAL-IHP005V1 board has an integrated MOSFET as the main switching element, which results in a very low switching loss. The board also has an integrated voltage regulation loop and a self-regulating system to protect against overcurrent, overload, and short-circuit conditions. The board also features integrated protection circuitries for reverse battery, floating current, and over-temperature conditions.

In summary, the STEVAL-IHP005V1 board provides a great platform for designers to evaluate and test low-voltage, buck/boost converters. It offers a wide input voltage range and integrated protective features, making it a great option for designers who are looking for reliable and robust evaluation and demonstration boards and kits.
