Overview

The STM8S103F3P6 is an 8-bit microcontroller from the STM8S Access Line, featuring 8 KB of Flash memory and 640 bytes of true data EEPROM. Built on a 16 MHz Harvard architecture core, it operates from 2.95V to 5.5V and is designed for high-volume, cost-sensitive applications that require robust performance in a compact TSSOP20 package.

Why Choose This Part

This MCU offers a high level of integration including a clock security system and multiple watchdogs, reducing the need for external supervisor components. It provides excellent power efficiency with a run current of 1.7mA at 16MHz and a deep sleep mode consuming less than 1uA.

Applications

Consumer Appliances
Cost-effective control for small home appliances, white goods, and handheld battery-powered devices.
Sensor Interface
Interfacing with analog and digital sensors using the integrated 10-bit ADC, I2C, and SPI peripherals.
Peripheral Control
Managing LED drivers, motor controllers, or power supply monitoring in larger embedded systems.
Automotive Body Electronics
Suitable for non-safety critical functions like window lifts or lighting control due to its high I/O current capability.

Getting Started

Development typically uses the ST-LINK/V2 programmer/debugger with the ST Visual Develop (STVD) or IAR Embedded Workbench for STM8. For rapid prototyping, the STM8S-DISCOVERY kit provides an onboard debugger and easy access to all 20 pins of the TSSOP package.
