Overview

The STM32F411CEU6 is a high-performance Black Pill style microcontroller based on the ARM Cortex-M4 core with a Floating Point Unit (FPU). Running at 100MHz, it balances power efficiency with computational power, featuring 512KB of Flash and 128KB of RAM in a compact 48-pin UFQFPN package.

Why Choose This Part

This MCU offers a high RAM-to-Flash ratio (128KB/512KB) which is beneficial for memory-intensive RTOS applications and buffer-heavy communication stacks. It features ST's ART Accelerator and Dynamic Efficiency technology, allowing for 0-wait state execution from Flash and reduced power consumption during operation.

Applications

Portable Instrumentation
The small footprint and low power consumption make it ideal for handheld devices requiring high-speed data processing.
Sensor Hubs
Utilizes the integrated DMA and various serial interfaces to aggregate and process data from multiple MEMS sensors.
USB Peripherals
The integrated USB 2.0 OTG full-speed PHY allows for direct connection as a USB device or host without external transceivers.
Motor Control
Equipped with advanced-control timers capable of generating PWM signals for driving brushless DC motors.
