STEVAL-IHM020V1 demonstration board based on the

STCC08 AC switch failure mode detector

Introduction

The STEVAL-IHM020V1 demonstration board (see Figure 1) provides a means to evaluate

the performance of the STCC08, which is an AC switch failure mode detector and an AC

power switch driver. The device is dedicated to driving up to 10 mA IGT AC switches (ACS,

ACST and TRIACs), and detecting any switch failures. This solution embeds a switch driver

and an AC switch state detector. It contributes to system safety by monitoring AC switches

driving sensitive loads such as drain pumps, door locks, heaters, cooling fans, and

compressors.

UM0583 Demonstration board introduction

5/23

Components on the demonstration board include:

●the STCC08 device (U1)

●the STLITE39F2 MCU (U2). The 8-bit MCU drives the AC switch through the STCC08,

analyzes the STCC08 AVF signals and powers LEDs to indicate AC switch failures

●the ACS108-6S (U3), transient voltage protected AC switch

●A capacitive DC power supply

●An ICC (in-circuit connector) (J3) to load the firmware in the MCU.

Warning: Before the board is connected to a computer through the ICC

connector, ensure that the AC line is connected to the board

through an insulated plug. This is essential to avoid electrical

shock.

●A switch to simulate an AC load failure in open circuit (SW1)

●2 switches (SW2, SW3) to simulate a diode mode failure in both polarities of the AC line

and a short-circuit of the AC switch (when SW2 and SW3 are in the “YES” position at

the same time)

●A switch to simulate an AC switch failure in open circuit (SW4)

●An STCC08 CNTRL switch (SW5). This switch is used to turn the AC switch (ACS) on

or off through the MCU and the STCC08

●An STCC08 CNTRL LED (D5), used to see whether or not the AC switch has been

controlled by the user

●LEDs to define the ACS state

– A “DIODE” LED (D6) to visualize an ACS failure in diode mode in both AC line

cycles. The LED is on if the AC switch fails in diode mode.

– An “OPEN” LED (D7) to indicate an ACS failure in open circuit. This LED is on if

the AC switch is damaged in open circuit

– A “CC” LED (D8) to show an ACS failure in short-circuit on both polarities of the

AC line. This LED is on if the AC switch is damaged in short-circuit

– An “ON” LED (D9) to indicate that the AC switch is on

●Test points to allow the connection of voltage probes:

– L (TP2) and N (TP1): line and neutral of the AC line

– VCC (TP3): positive power supply

– GND (TP4): power supply reference

– ZVS (TP5): zero crossing of the AC line voltage

– OUT (TP6): anode of the ACS

– AC (TP7): ACS status sense input

– AVF (TP8): alternating voltage feedback. ACS status output

– ON/OFF (TP12): “STCC08 CNTRL” switch state, used to turn on or off the ACS

through the MCU and the STCC08

– IN (TP9): STCC08 IN input used to control the ACS

●An AC line connector (J1)

●An AC load: light bulb (15 W at 230 VRMS).

For more detailed information, please refer to the schematic diagram in Appendix A.

2 STCC08 description

2.1 Block diagram description

Figure 4 shows the block diagram of the STCC08. It includes a “gate driver” block to control

the AC switch, a “power switch signal shaping” block used to read the AC switch state and a

buffer able to send the AC switch state to the MCU (AVF DRIVER). This signal should be

analyzed by the MCU, which can power-off the application in hazardous situations (for

example, to open a relay (SW) placed in the front-end of the application - see Figure 5).

Table 1 provides the pin definitions of the STCC08.

Figure 4. STCC08 block diagram description

Figure 5. Application diagram

Note: The STCC08 AVF driver block is used to send the AC switch state to the MCU. The AVF

output is an open collector and should be loaded with an external resistor or connected

directly to the MCU, in pull-up input configuration.

2.2 Gate driver

The STCC08 can control up to 10mA IGT TRIACs, ACST and ACS through a “GATE

DRIVER” block designed:

●to drive the AC switch according to the IN control input state:

– For IN = “1” = VCC: AC switch turn on

– For IN = “0” = GND: AC switch turn off

●to regulate the gate current of the AC switch, thanks to the internal current controller

2.3 ACS failure detection

External resistors (R1, R2, R3 and R4) sense the voltage across the ACS. Using these

resistors, the STCC08 constantly monitors the ACS state. Knowing the STCC08 IN input

state, the ACS state can be deduced by analyzing the AVF signal. Figure 6 gives the ACS

state according to the AVF signal state and the IN signal state.

Table 2 gives the AC switch state according to the AVF signal and the MCU control (IN).

Knowing the IN signal state, the MCU is able to define the AC switch state by analyzing the

AVF signal. According to the failure mode, the MCU can place the system in a safe

configuration by switching off the home appliance front-end relay.

Note: “If the AC switch is damaged in short-circuit: the ‘CC’ LED is ON (D8)”

“f the AC switch is damaged only in one direction (diode mode): the ‘DIODE’ LED is ON

(D6)”

3 Features

3.1 ST7LITE39F2 microcontroller

The 8-bit MCU used in this board is the ST7LITE39F2. It belongs to the ST7 family of

microcontrollers, and offers a large number of features at minimum cost.

●The peripheral hardware requirements are reduced to a minimum:

– No quartz or external resonator is used. Instead, an internal RC-oscillator in the

ST7LITE3 is used to generate the clock

– No external RESET circuit is used

●In the MCU firmware, four options must be set:

– Software watchdog activation

– RC oscillator selection

– PLL disabled

– Low voltage detection selection

Note: The MCU firmware has been developed only to evaluate the STCC08 device and is not

compliant with the class B (IEC60335-1 Ed4) requirements.

3.2 DC capacitive power supply

A DC capacitive power supply is used on the board. One peculiarity of this DC power supply

is that it is “negative”. The VCC terminal is connected to neutral. This means that the GND

voltage is 5 V below neutral. Such a connection is mandatory to drive the ACS. Indeed, the

ACS can only be triggered by a negative current (i.e. sourced from the gate). The maximum

average current absorbed by the board is about 44 mA (see Table 3). In this case, a 2.2 µF

C16 capacitor value has been used to ensure that the board works correctly in the worst

application conditions (230 V/110 VRMS line voltage ± 10% and VCC ± 10%).

Note that a 43.2 ΩRIG resistor (R23) value is used. In this case, the minimum ambient

temperature must be 0 °C in order to work correctly the board. For lower ambient
