STMicroelectronics B-G473E-ZEST1S Discovery Kit

STMicroelectronics B-G473E-ZEST1S Discovery Kit is based on the STM32G473 MCU for Motor Control applications. This kit is designed for motor control applications to operate up to the most advanced ST’s embedded SW algorithms like HSO. The B-G473E-ZEST1S is the control board generating the PWM signals for the inverter board STEVAL-LVLP01. This inverter board drives a Low-Power/Low-Voltage motor available in the B-MOTOR-PMSMA1.

The STMicroelectronics B-G473E-ZEST1S control board is connected to the inverter board thanks to the most recent embedded Motor Control connector V2. The B-G473E-ZEST1S also supports motor driver expansion boards via the Morpho connector present on the board. Up to three inverter boards can connect to the same control board using the adapter B-ZEST-ADAPT1. The B-G473E-ZEST1S supports three or single-shunt configurations with successive or simultaneous sampling.
