Overview

The STM32L496RGT6 is an ultra-low-power microcontroller based on the high-performance Arm Cortex-M4 32-bit RISC core operating at up to 80 MHz. It features 1024 KB of Flash memory, 320 KB of RAM, and a specialized Chrom-ART Accelerator for enhanced graphics performance. This device is designed for power-sensitive applications requiring significant memory and advanced peripheral sets, including CAN and USB support.

Why Choose This Part

This MCU offers a remarkable balance of performance and power, consuming only 3.39 mA at 80 MHz in SMPS mode. Its FlexPowerControl architecture provides eight distinct power modes to optimize efficiency, while the 1 MB Flash and 320 KB RAM accommodate complex RTOS-based firmware without external memory.

Applications

Industrial Sensor Nodes
Leverages multiple I2C, SPI, and UART interfaces to collect data from environmental sensors while maintaining ultra-low current consumption in Sleep modes.
Smart Wearable Devices
Utilizes the 320 KB RAM and Chrom-ART Accelerator to drive small displays and manage complex biometric data processing.
Portable Medical Instrumentation
Supports battery-powered operation with Shutdown modes as low as 24 nA while providing a floating-point unit for real-time digital signal processing.
Automotive Telemetry
Integrates CAN bus interfaces for vehicle networking in accessory modules that require low standby current to prevent battery drain.

Getting Started

Start development using the STM32CubeL4 software package and the STM32CubeIDE toolchain for full driver support. For hardware prototyping, the NUCLEO-L496ZG or DISCO-L496G-CELL01 discovery kits provide direct access to the peripherals. Ensure the VDD supply is between 1.71V and 3.6V to maintain stable operation across the core frequency range.
