Overview

The STM32L152C8T6 is an ultra-low-power ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller operating at a maximum frequency of 32 MHz. It features 64 KB of Flash, 32 KB of RAM, and 4 KB of true data EEPROM, housed in a compact 48-pin LQFP package. This device is specifically engineered for battery-operated applications requiring a balance between processing performance and extreme power efficiency.

Why Choose This Part

This MCU stands out for its ultra-low power consumption, drawing only 1.9 uA in Standby mode while maintaining functional peripherals. It includes a Memory Protection Unit (MPU) for application security and 5V-tolerant I/Os, simplifying integration into mixed-voltage systems.

Applications

Handheld Medical Devices
Ideal for portable glucose meters or pulse oximeters that require low standby current and integrated LCD control.
Industrial Data Loggers
Utilizes the 4 KB of internal EEPROM for reliable non-volatile storage of sensor calibration data and logs without external chips.
Smart Utility Meters
Leverages multiple low-power modes and a wide supply voltage range (1.65V to 3.6V) to extend field life in gas or water meters.
Capacitive Touch Interfaces
Supports integrated touch sensing peripherals for modern consumer electronics and home automation control panels.
