Overview

The STM32L152C8T6A is an ultra-low-power 32-bit microcontroller featuring an ARM Cortex-M3 core operating at 32MHz. It is designed for energy-efficient applications, integrating 64KB Flash, 32KB RAM, and a dedicated 4KB EEPROM, alongside an integrated LCD controller.

Why Choose This Part

This MCU excels in power management with a shutdown current as low as 0.28uA and a wide operating voltage down to 1.65V. It provides a unique combination of high-density 32KB RAM and 4KB of true data EEPROM in a compact 48-LQFP package.

Applications

Battery-Powered Medical Devices
Ideal for portable glucose meters or heart rate monitors that require low standby current and integrated LCD driving capabilities.
Smart Utility Meters
Utilizes the built-in 4KB EEPROM for robust data logging and ultra-low-power modes to extend battery life in gas or water meters.
Industrial Sensors
Leverages 12-bit ADC and capacitive sensing support for environmental monitoring in remote industrial locations.
Handheld Consumer Electronics
Suitable for portable devices requiring USB 2.0 connectivity and complex UI management via the LCD interface.
