Overview

The STM32F401CCU6 is a high-performance, cost-effective microcontroller belonging to the STM32 Dynamic Efficiency line. Based on the ARM Cortex-M4 core with a Floating Point Unit (FPU), it operates at frequencies up to 84 MHz while maintaining low power consumption. This part is popular for its balance of processing power and integration in a compact UFQFPN48 package.

Why Choose This Part

This MCU offers a high performance-to-power ratio with its ART Accelerator and batch acquisition mode (BAM), which reduces power consumption during data batching. The integration of a DSP instruction set and FPU allows for complex mathematical calculations in real-time without needing a dedicated DSP chip.

Applications

Motor Control
Uses advanced-control timers and PWM outputs to drive brushless DC motors in consumer appliances.
Sensor Hubs
Collects and processes data from multiple I2C and SPI sensors for mobile devices or wearables.
Industrial Automation
Acts as a primary controller for small PLCs and industrial sensors requiring DSP instructions.
Portable Medical Devices
Provides the necessary FPU performance for signal processing in battery-operated diagnostic tools.
