Overview

The STM32L552ZET6 is a high-performance, ultra-low-power microcontroller based on the ARM Cortex-M33 core with TrustZone security. Operating at up to 110MHz, it integrates 512KB of Flash and 256KB of RAM, providing a secure foundation for IoT applications through hardware-based isolation. The device features an integrated SMPS to optimize power efficiency and includes a comprehensive set of peripherals like FDCAN, USB, and 14-bit ADC.

Why Choose This Part

The implementation of Arm TrustZone allows for full hardware isolation of critical code and peripherals, significantly enhancing system security. Its advanced power management, including an integrated SMPS and a wide supply range down to 1.71V, enables high-speed 110MHz operation with minimal current draw.

Applications

Secure IoT Endpoints
Leverages TrustZone and hardware accelerators for HASH and TRNG to protect sensitive credentials and firmware in connected devices.
Industrial Sensor Nodes
Utilizes the 14-bit ADC and low-power Stop modes for precise, long-term monitoring in remote industrial environments.
Portable Medical Devices
The ultra-low power consumption and small 144-LQFP footprint suit battery-operated diagnostic equipment requiring secure data handling.
Smart Metering
Combines high-density memory for data logging with multiple communication interfaces like FDCAN and UART for utility monitoring.
