Introduction
The
evaluation board is designed to help you develop applications with insulated control of three AC loads
up to 1 kW (230 Vrms) using Triacs and AC switches instead of relays.
To control the STEVAL-GLA001V1, you can use a
development board which allows three AC switch control
modes for load control: continuous or pulse gate current, a timer option, and phase control. You can use also any external
microcontroller.
Once you have installed the relevant firmware (freely available at
) on the NUCLEO-F030R8 development
board, you can start adjusting the main parameters through a common serial interface like HyperTerminal.
The STEVAL-GLA001V1 evaluation board features a wide input voltage range, low standby power losses, IEC61000-4-4
robustness and two low voltage power supplies.
The targeted applications are residential appliances requiring insulation between microcontroller and mains voltage, such as
washing machines and dish washers, micro-wave ovens, cookers, ovens, soya-milk makers, printers, air-conditioners, fridges,
water-heaters and heaters.
