Article is updated with more detailed data on the ADC. It has three independent ADC that share 24 inputs: http://microcontroller.com/news/STM32_F-2.asp Bill Giovino http://Microcontroller.com

One of the features seems to be a built-in cryptograpy accelerator. The OTP memory might be used for a unique crypto key for that piece of gear. Mark Borgerson

It's not to save silicon area (probably uses more) but to store things like unique ID or MAC address which once assigned to a piece of equipment should never be changed. Michael Kellett

Why do they make use of OTP instead of EEPROM? Does the lack of flexbility is worth the silicon area? --------------------------------------- Posted through http://www.EmbeddedRelated.com

The STM32 F-2 runs out of Flash at 120MHz. Has two USB 2.0B OTG ports, Ethernet, 528 
bytes OTP memory (who remembers what OTP means?) and plenty of peripherals.

The STM32 F-2 is from STMicroelectronics

Article contains a block diagram and a family roadmap.
