Overview

The STM32L031K6T6 is an ultra-low-power ARM Cortex-M0+ microcontroller designed for high efficiency in battery-constrained applications. Operating at up to 32MHz, it features 32KB of Flash, 8KB of RAM, and 1024 bytes of integrated data EEPROM. The device is specifically optimized for low energy consumption, drawing as little as 7uA in standby mode while maintaining an ultra-low-power BOR.

Why Choose This Part

This MCU offers a high performance-to-power ratio with a Cortex-M0+ core and 5V-tolerant I/Os for flexible system interfacing. Its 1.8V to 3.6V operating range and dedicated data EEPROM reduce the need for external components, simplifying BOM management for cost-sensitive designs.

Applications

Battery-Powered Sensors
Ideal for wireless sensor nodes where long battery life is critical, utilizing low-power sleep modes between measurements.
Energy Harvesting Systems
Suited for solar or thermal powered devices due to its ultra-low-power BOR and low start-up current requirements.
Portable Consumer Electronics
Fits into space-constrained designs like fitness trackers or remote controls that require a 32-pin LQFP footprint.
Utility Metering
Used in smart gas or water meters where the 1KB of true EEPROM provides reliable storage for calibration and usage data.
