Overview

The STM32L151RBT6 is an ultra-low-power microcontroller based on the ARM Cortex-M3 core, operating at up to 32MHz. It features 128KB of Flash, 16KB of RAM, and 4KB of true EEPROM, making it ideal for battery-operated devices requiring persistent data storage. The device includes a wide range of analog and digital peripherals while maintaining a very low standby current of approximately 1.33uA.

Why Choose This Part

This MCU offers a high degree of power flexibility with multiple low-power modes and an operating voltage down to 1.65V. The inclusion of 4000 bytes of dedicated EEPROM simplifies firmware by providing a dedicated space for calibration and configuration parameters without external components.

Applications

Battery-Powered Data Loggers
Utilizes the 4KB of onboard EEPROM for reliable sensor data storage without wearing out Flash memory.
Handheld Medical Devices
Low power consumption and integrated 12-bit ADC/DAC support long-lasting portable diagnostic tools.
Utility Metering
Optimized for long-term deployment in water or gas meters where extremely low standby current is critical.
