Design of an STM32F4 Microcontroller Development Board for Switching Power Converters

摘要

Modern power electronic circuits typically require an on-board microcontroller to carry out necessary sensor measurements and controlled semiconductor switching. Hence, in the prototyping stage it is convenient to have a microcontroller development board designed for noise immunity and best electromagnetic compatibility possible. Typical development boards provided by manufacturers are not designed to such a specification due to cost considerations. This paper presents the design of an improved development board for the STM32F4 microcontroller for better performance in switching power converter circuits.
