Overview

The STM8L051F3P6 is an ultra-low-power 8-bit microcontroller featuring 8kB of Flash memory and 16MHz performance. It belongs to the STM8L Value Line, designed to provide high efficiency and integrated EEPROM in a compact 20-pin TSSOP package for cost-sensitive applications.

Why Choose This Part

This MCU offers a remarkable power-to-performance ratio with specialized low-power modes down to 350nA in Halt mode. It includes a true embedded EEPROM for robust data retention and operates across a wide voltage range of 1.8V to 3.6V.

Applications

Battery-Powered Sensors
Ideal for remote environmental sensors that require long battery life and periodic wake-up cycles.
Utility Metering
Used in water and gas meters for low-power data logging and simple user interface management.
Consumer Handhelds
Suitable for small handheld devices like glucose meters or portable thermostats requiring minimal standby current.

Getting Started

Development is typically performed using the ST-LINK/V2 debugger and the ST Visual Develop (STVD) or IAR Embedded Workbench for STM8. Engineers can jumpstart designs using the STM8L-Discovery evaluation board or third-party breakout boards for the TSSOP-20 footprint.
