MCUs support smart-energy & IoT applications
To enhance support for cost-sensitive consumer, smart-energy, communication-gateway and IoT applications, STMicroelectronics has added MCUs with USB connectivity and larger Flash options to its STM32F0 ARM Cortex-M0 series.
The STM32F030CC and STM32F030RC MCUs feature 256KB programme Flash in 48-pin or 64-pin LQFP packages, while the STM32F070 MCUs feature a USB 2.0 Full Speed interface.The latter are also compliant with BCD v1.2 and Link Power Management, enabling optimum energy efficiency and a longer battery life.
The MCUs are offered with the STM32F0 standard feature set, which includes built-in safety functionalities, internal oscillators, multiple clock sources and a calendar RTC with alarm and periodic wakeup from stop/standby. Additional features include a 5-channel DMA controller, an internal voltage regulator, a 12-bit/1.0μs ADC and versatile communication capabilities, including two I2C interfaces, six USARTs and two SPIs.
The STM32F0 MCUs are sampling now and will be available in production quantities in Q1/2015. The company’s STM32F0 software and hardware ecosystem, NUCLEO-F070RB, supports its latest MCUs.
