STMicroelectronics → STM32 (CORTEX M3) - 32-bit Microcontrollers

The STM32 family of 32-bit Flash Microcontrollers is based on the breakthrough ARM Cortex™-M3 core - a core specifically developed for embedded applications. The STM32 family benefits from the Cortex-M3 architectural enhancements including the Thumb-2 instruction set to deliver improved performance with better code density, significantly faster response to interrupts, all combined with industry leading power consumption.

The STM32 family is built to offer new degrees of freedom to MCU users. It offers a complete 32-bit product range that combines high-performance, real-time, low-power and low-voltage operation, while maintaining full integration and ease of development.

Compatibility of pin-assignments, peripherals and software across all STM32 devices is a core technical feature throughout this family of microcontrollers.

The STM32 advantages

• Leading-edge architecture with the latest Cortex-M3 core from ARM
• Excellent real-time behaviour
• Oustanding power efficiency
• Superior and innovative peripherals
• Maximum integration
• Easy development, fast time to market

STM32, the optimal platform choice
The STM32 is an optimal choice to support many applications with the same platform:

• From reduced memory and pin requirements to larger needs
• From performance demanding to battery operated
• From simple cost-sensitive to complex high-value

You can upgrade to a higher or downgrade to a lower memory size, or use different packages without changing your initial layout or software.
