Low-Cost MCUs add USB and more Flash

January 26, 2015 By admin Comments are Off , , , ,

STMicroelectronics, Inc. has boosted its STM32F0 Value Line ARM Cortex-M0 microcontroller series, adding USB connectivity and larger Flash options to enhance support for cost-sensitive consumer, smart-energy, communication-gateway, and Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications. Six new devices now join the entry-level 32-bit STM32F0 Value Line to address the 8-bit and 16-bit applications. These extend developers’ flexibility to use the same microcontroller architecture for a wide range of needs, and allow the customer to introduce new products to market quickly and efficiently.

The new STM32F030CC and STM32F030RC Value Line devices feature 256KB program Flash in 48-pin or 64-pin LQFP packages. Moreover, USB 2.0 Full Speed interface is now available in four new STM32F070 Value Line devices compliant with Battery Charger Detection (BCD v1.2) and Link Power Management (LPM), enabling optimum energy efficiency and longer battery life.

These latest additions augment the strong feature-set of the STM32F0 Value Line, giving designers access to built-in safety functionalities, precise internal oscillators, multiple clock sources, and a calendar Real-Time Clock (RTC) with alarm and periodic wakeup from Stop/Standby. Further important features include a 5-channel DMA controller, internal voltage regulator, 12-bit/1.0μs Analog-Digital Converter (ADC), and versatile communication capabilities such as two I2C interfaces, six USARTs, and two SPIs.
