Overview

The STM32L476RG is an ultra-low-power microcontroller based on the high-performance Arm Cortex-M4 32-bit RISC core operating at up to 80MHz. It features 1024KB of Flash memory, 128KB of RAM, and a dedicated Floating Point Unit (FPU) to handle complex mathematical operations efficiently. This MCU is designed to provide high processing power with extremely low power consumption, making it ideal for battery-operated devices.

Why Choose This Part

The STM32L476RG offers an excellent balance between performance and efficiency, achieving a high CoreMark score while drawing minimal current in standby and stop modes. It includes a rich peripheral set such as a dedicated LCD driver, USB OTG, and high-speed 12-bit ADCs that operate down to 1.71V. The flexible power management system allows engineers to optimize energy usage for specific duty cycles.

Applications
