Overview

The STM32L431CCU6 is an ultra-low-power microcontroller based on the ARM Cortex-M4 core, operating at up to 80MHz. It features 256KB of Flash memory and 64KB of SRAM, making it suitable for applications requiring moderate processing power and efficient energy consumption. Its extensive peripheral set includes various communication interfaces and integrated data converters.

Why Choose This Part

Engineers benefit from the STM32L431CCU6's excellent balance of processing power (80MHz Cortex-M4 with FPU and DSP) and ultra-low power consumption, enabling extended battery life in portable designs. The comprehensive peripheral set, including advanced data converters and connectivity options, reduces external component count. STMicroelectronics' robust ecosystem and widespread support further simplify development.

Applications

Wearable Devices
The ultra-low power modes and integrated features like a touch sensing controller make it ideal for battery-powered wearables requiring long battery life and user interface capabilities.
IoT End Nodes
Its low power consumption (e.g., 0.11uA in Sleep mode) and connectivity options (CANbus, I2C, SPI, UART) are well-suited for battery-operated IoT sensor nodes and edge devices.
Industrial Sensors
The DSP instructions, built-in PGA, and data converters (10x12b A/D, 2x12b D/A) allow for efficient signal processing and data acquisition in industrial sensing applications.
Medical Devices
Its low power profile and robust peripheral set can be leveraged in portable medical devices where power efficiency and data handling are critical.
Smart Home Appliances
The ability to run efficiently at 80MHz and enter various low-power modes makes it suitable for smart home devices that need to perform tasks periodically while conserving energy.
