STEVAL-IHT001V2
Cold thermostat kit based on AC switches and the STM8S
Data brief
Features
Low-cost solution for spark-free thermostats:
No need for a sealed version
Low-cost STM8S microcontroller for
thermostat control
Low-cost capacitive power supply
High efficiency:
Refrigerator consumption reduction by
adjusting and reducing the hysteresis
threshold of the temperature
Improved efficiency by turning on the
defrost resistor only when it's useful and
not at each OFF cycle of the compressor
(as done in some mechanical thermostats)
High system immunity:
Overvoltage protected ACS switches:
ACST610-8FP for compressor control,
ACS110-7SN for defrost resistor and
ACS102-6TA for light bulb and fan
Class A criteria for IEC 61000-4-4 up to
above 3 kV levels
Flexibility:
Development: program setting with PC
interface to change firmware variables
Industrialization: end-of-production MCU
programming thanks to FLASH, for soft
upgrade and efficient MCU stock
management
RoHS compliant
Description
The STEVAL-IHT001V2 thermostat kit provides a
robust and low-cost ST solution (microcontroller
and AC switches) to control refrigerators, freezers
or fridge/freezer combinations.
Basic, defrost, and air circulation versions are
configurable in order to address the low-end and
medium-end cooling appliances market. It allows
the control of a single-phase induction motor and
a light bulb, and optionally, a defrost resistor and a
fan, working on 220/240 VRMS, 50/60 Hz mains
voltage. The thermostat kit is operational with
100/120 V RMS 50/60 Hz but the supply capacitor
value must be modified.
The board can operate in an ambient temperature
range from 0 °C to 60 °C.
The exact maximum temperature depends on the
power of the loads. For demonstrative purposes a
graphic user interface (GUI) has been developed.
The connection between the PC and STM8S
microcontroller, the MCU performing thermostat
regulation, is achieved through a USB bus.
As the STM8S is a low-cost MCU without an
embedded USB peripheral, an additional MCU
(STM32) has been used as a bridge between the
PC and STM8S MCU, for demonstrative purposes
only.
