Overview

The STM32L496ZGT6 is a high-performance, ultra-low-power microcontroller based on the ARM Cortex-M4 core running at up to 80MHz. It features 1MB of Flash memory and 320KB of SRAM, incorporating ST's proprietary FlexPowerControl and ART Accelerator for efficient execution. With a wide array of peripherals including USB OTG, dual-bank Flash, and an integrated LCD controller, it is designed for energy-sensitive applications requiring significant processing power.

Why Choose This Part

This MCU offers an exceptional balance of memory density and power efficiency, providing 320KB of RAM to handle modern RTOS and communication buffers. The FlexPowerControl architecture allows for fine-tuned power management across multiple low-power modes, while the DSP instructions and FPU enable local edge-processing of analog signals.

Applications

Battery-Powered Industrial Sensors
Utilizes Stop 2 mode (2.57mA at 1.8V) and Batch Acquisition Mode (BAM) to collect sensor data via ADC or SPI while keeping the core largely powered down.
Smart Utility Meters
The 1MB Flash supports complex protocol stacks and over-the-air (OTA) updates, while the integrated LCD driver simplifies the user interface.
Wearable Medical Devices
The 144-LQFP package provides 115 I/O pins for biometric sensors and display integration, maintaining long battery life via granular power scaling.
Portable Consumer Electronics
Integrates USB OTG for connectivity and charging, alongside a hardware random number generator for secure device pairing.
