Ecosystem
- D-Power ecosystem assembles resources to create innovative
digital power supplies using STM32 microcontrollers
- STM32 D-Power website consolidates embedded software,
development kits, demo boards, tools, documentation, and
training
- Practical workshops delivered by ST Authorized Partner and
digital-power specialist Biricha Digital
Geneva, June 18, 2020 - STMicroelectronics
(NYSE: STM), a global semiconductor leader serving customers across
the spectrum of electronics applications, 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 optimize energy efficiency and
capture rich data for diagnostics and safety. Digital control also
lets designers increase power density to realize size and weight
savings that are important in data centers, 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 ST Authorized Partner Biricha Digital,
and dedicated power-supply boards that demonstrate various designs
and power ratings. Documentation, videos, and guides cater to
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
optimized 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
highly accurate pulse-width modulated (PWM) signals for stable
control of switched-mode power circuits.
“Our D-Power ecosystem helps designers learn about, design in,
and take advantage of digital power to create solutions that are
smaller, lighter, cleaner, and smarter,” said Ricardo de Sa Earp,
Group Vice President, Microcontroller Division General Manager,
STMicroelectronics. “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.”
Dr Ali Shirsavar, Director of Biricha Digital added, “The
embedded software and practical workshops we have developed to
support the STM32 D-Power ecosystem deliver high value for
designers wherever they are on their digital-power journey.
Customers can easily engage with these resources to jump-start
their designs and advance their expertise.”
Most of the materials and resources are available free on the
STM32 D-Power website.
Further technical information ST’s STM32
D-Power ecosystem introduces entry-level users to digital
power-supply and PFC design with an online presentation, which
contains basic technical information. Access to curated hardware
and software products include the B-G474E-DPOW1 Discovery kit based
on the STM32G474RET6 microcontroller and the STM32F334 Discovery
kit (STM32F3348-DISCO), with associated videos and application
notes including LED control and STM32 HRTimer cookbooks. The
D-Power software development kit (SDK) contains ST-WDS power-supply
design software and ST-PLD power-factor correction design software
created by Biricha Digital, made available as a dedicated
free-to-use version for STM32 developers. There are also
STM32Cube-compatible embedded-software examples for buck/current
mode and buck/voltage mode running on the B-G474E-DPOW1. Additional
examples and topologies will be added in the near future. Digital
power-supply evaluation boards with power-factor correction are
available in various topologies, such as totem-pole PFC and LLC
resonant full-bridge, and power ratings from 500W upwards,
including front-end rectifiers and complete AC/DC SMPS. The Biricha
workshop is a four-day hands-on experience that shows how to design
stable digital power supplies and power-factor correction in both
voltage mode and current mode for DC/DC and off-line applications,
and includes training exercises leveraging the hardware, firmware,
and SDK available through the D-Power ecosystem, based on the
STM32F334 and STM32G474 MCUs. You can also read our blogpost at
