Overview

The STM8S003F3P6TR is an 8-bit value line microcontroller based on the high-performance STM8 core, featuring 8KB of Flash and 1K of RAM. It operates at 16MHz and is designed for cost-sensitive applications that require robust performance and a small TSSOP20 footprint. The device includes a true data EEPROM and a versatile set of peripherals including UART, SPI, and I2C interfaces.

Why Choose This Part

It offers an excellent cost-to-performance ratio with a robust I/O design that is highly immune to current injection. The inclusion of a 128-byte data EEPROM simplifies non-volatile storage for calibration data without consuming Flash program memory.

Applications

Small Appliance Control
Managing simple user interfaces, sensor inputs, and load switching in household electronics.
Industrial Sensor Nodes
Processing analog data via the 10-bit ADC and communicating over LIN or UART in distributed systems.
LED Lighting Management
Utilizing the advanced control timer and PWM channels for brightness and color temperature regulation.
Power Management Controllers
Supervising system voltages and power-up sequences using the integrated brown-out reset and watchdogs.
