STM32F103RCT6
Overview
The STM32F103RCT6 is a high-density performance line Arm Cortex-M3 microcontroller operating at a maximum frequency of 72MHz. It features 256KB of Flash memory and 48KB of RAM, providing a significant memory overhead for applications requiring more complex firmware or larger data buffers than the standard medium-density lines.
Why Choose This Part
This MCU offers a robust balance of high-density memory and extensive I/O in a compact 10x10mm LQFP64 package. Its wide 2V to 3.6V operating range and 5V tolerant I/Os simplify integration with legacy digital logic and various power supply designs.
Applications
Getting Started
Engineers typically develop for this part using the STM32CubeIDE or Keil MDK, utilizing the STM32CubeF1 HAL libraries. For hardware prototyping, the ST-LINK/V2 debugger is used via the integrated SWD or JTAG interfaces to program the device.
Dev Boards
Development boards and breakout modules featuring the STM32F103RCT6 or compatible chips — ready to use for prototyping.
