【MCU Evaluation Boards: The Core of Embedded Control】

Microcontroller evaluation boards serve as the brain and central hub of embedded systems, handling data processing, executing logic control, and connecting external peripherals.

ST's microcontroller evaluation boards are based on the powerful STM32 series, covering diverse application scenarios from low-cost to high-performance solutions.

The STM8A-128-EVAL evaluation board is specifically designed for STM8AF51AA/STM8AF52AA microcontrollers based on the STM8 core, offering comprehensive functionality demonstration and development capabilities.

The board integrates I²C, SPI, two USART interfaces, and CAN connectivity, alongside 128KB of Flash memory and a SWIM debug interface.

These extensive peripheral resources enable developers to evaluate all on-board MCU functionalities and develop custom applications.

For scenarios demanding higher performance, ST has introduced a new generation of development boards based on the STM32H5 microcontroller.

The STM32H5 employs the latest Arm® Cortex®-M33 high-performance processing core, featuring a USB-C connector and multiple digital interfaces including I3C, supporting more flexible communication methods.

This combination enables developers to rapidly evaluate sensors and develop high-demand applications, meeting the stringent processing power and energy efficiency requirements of modern embedded systems.

The STEVAL-MKI109D is a development platform specifically designed for MEMS sensors, centred around the STM32H5 microcontroller.

The board enables developers to monitor the behaviour of ST MEMS sensors, rapidly adjust settings and configure functions through an intuitive graphical development environment, and fully leverage the AI capabilities embedded within ST sensors.

[NFC/RFID Evaluation Board: Simplifying Wireless Connectivity Design]

Near Field Communication (NFC) technology facilitates contactless data exchange between devices, playing a vital role in the Internet of Things, device pairing, and product authentication.

ST's NFC evaluation board facilitates seamless integration of this technology into diverse applications.

ST's recently launched STEVAL-25R200SA evaluation kit represents an innovative development tool for contactless NFC applications.

This kit incorporates the newly introduced ST25R200 reader/writer chip, specifically designed for developers with limited NFC experience, significantly streamlining the application design process.

This modular toolset comprises a compact ST25R200 main board and multiple antenna configurations, supporting experimentation with single-antenna, dual-antenna, and flexible antenna systems.

It also features a 50-ohm antenna interface and programmable tags, providing a complete solution for rapid prototyping of product concept validation models.

The ST25R200 NFC reader integrates STMicroelectronics' noise-suppression receiver technology, ensuring excellent reception performance even near noise sources such as LCD panels within devices.

The reader also incorporates enhanced low-power card detection, simplifying system wake-up procedures to guarantee a seamless user experience.

The 2W transmitter features dynamic power output control, adjusting field strength and over/under-shoot protection voltage to guarantee stable, reliable signal connectivity throughout data exchange.

These characteristics make the ST25R200 particularly suited for diverse industrial, consumer, and healthcare products, including medical devices, power tools, home appliances, and gaming consoles.

【Sensor Evaluation Boards: Bridging the Physical and Digital Worlds】

Sensor evaluation boards empower developers to convert real-world physical quantities into digital signals, unlocking boundless possibilities for context-aware applications.

ST offers multiple sensor evaluation boards covering diverse types including inertial sensors, pressure sensors, biosensors, and digital/analogue microphones.

The STEVAL-MKI109D represents ST's next-generation sensor evaluation board, specifically engineered for context-aware applications utilising MEMS sensors.

This evaluation board empowers developers to rapidly and efficiently assess sensor performance, enabling the creation of more robust and resilient applications.

The development workflow with STEVAL-MKI109D is remarkably straightforward: engineers simply insert the sensor module, connect to a PC, and analyse data via ST MEMS Studio.

This comprehensive graphical development environment allows developers to visualise sensor outputs, rapidly adjust settings, configure features, and experience the AI capabilities of ST sensors through the integrated machine learning core and intelligent sensor processing unit.

ST's sensor portfolio offers diverse options for speed, accuracy, measurement range, and packaging, catering to industrial, consumer, and automotive requirements.

Within the automotive sector, ST MEMS sensors support critical technologies including navigation assistance, advanced driver assistance systems, and autonomous driving.

Each ST sensor corresponds to a dedicated evaluation module, designed as a DIL24 interface card for straightforward testing and direct connection to the STEVAL-MKI109D development board.
