Overview

The STM32F401VET6 is a high-performance microcontroller featuring an ARM Cortex-M4 core with a Floating Point Unit (FPU) and DSP instructions running at 84MHz. It is part of the STM32 Dynamic Efficiency line, designed to balance power consumption and processing performance with 512KB of Flash memory and 96KB of SRAM. This MCU includes ST's Adaptive Real-Time (ART) accelerator to achieve zero-wait state execution from Flash.

Why Choose This Part

The inclusion of the ART Accelerator allows the MCU to reach 105 DMIPS at 84MHz, providing high processing efficiency. Its wide operating voltage range of 1.7V to 3.6V and 5V-tolerant I/Os simplify integration with legacy hardware and diverse power rails. Additionally, the 100-LQFP package provides 81 I/O pins, offering significant flexibility for complex system routing.

Applications

Mobile Peripheral Controllers
Utilizes the USB 2.0 OTG full-speed interface and low power modes for battery-operated mobile accessories.
Industrial Sensor Hubs
Aggregates data from multiple sensors using the 16-channel 12-bit ADC and various serial interfaces like I2C and SPI.
Embedded Audio Processing
Leverages the Cortex-M4 DSP instructions and I2S interface for basic digital audio filtering and playback.
Motor Control Feedback
Employs dedicated PWM timers and 5V-tolerant I/Os for monitoring and controlling industrial actuators.
