STEVAL-IHT001V2
Cold thermostat kit based on AC switches and the STM8S-
Active
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.

Datasheet
Key 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
