The STEVAL-GLA001V1 evaluation board allows isolated control of three AC loads up to 1 kW (230 Vrms) with Triacs and AC switches (solid state solution), particularly suitable for residential appliances. The board is controlled with an STM32 microcontroller embedded on its Nucleo development board. The isolation of the circuit is made by optocouplers; and different gate control modes are available to test loads as for example in dimmer function.

Key features:
• Fit any 5 to 35 mA triggering gate current Triac / AC switch, such as ACS108-8TN, ACST310-8B or T1635T-8FP assembled on the board
• Interface with STM32 Nucleo-64 development board 
• Three control modes available thanks to STM32 Nucleo-64 firmware (continuous or pulse gate current, timer option and phase angle control) 
• Easy to configure through user-friendly interface 
• Compatible with any external microcontroller
