 Hello and welcome to Getting to Know ST's Advanced Motor Drivers, the ST Spin 32 F-Zero series. ST Spin 32 F-Zero and ST Spin 32 F-Zero A advanced brushless DC motor drivers combine an STM32 microcontroller, a 32-bit Cortex M-Zero and an advanced three-phase gate driver. They will generate on-chip the 3.3-volt supply for the microcontroller and the 12-volt for gate driving circuitry. They integrate four fast operational amplifiers for precise current sensing, an additional comparator for programmable overcurrent protection and a firmware bootloader. Packaged in a 7x7mm QFN package, both devices combine power and efficiency of a microcontroller-based motor driver device with the ease of use and space efficiency of a system in package. Compared to other microcontroller-based devices, the ST Spin 32 F-Zero series benefits from the extensive STM32 Open Development Environment, which includes software tools, firmware, and middleware for motion control. The main differences for the ST Spin 32 F-Zero A device are an extended power supply range suitable to work with even two LiPo batteries, two extra GPIOs, and the possibility to easily upgrade firmware codes thanks to the STM32 firmware bootloader. The ST Spin 32 F-Zero comes with full support for censored and sensorless field-oriented control algorithms, while the ST Spin 32 F-Zero A supports censored and sensorless six-step control modes. Both devices can support all four control algorithms with very limited adaptation. Ideal applications are smart manufacturing equipment, power tools, fans, drones, educational robots, and battery-powered appliances. For more information, visit www.st.com. slash motor drivers.
