STMicroelectronics’ newest addition to their microcontroller family is the ultra-low power STM32L Series. The series is based around the high-performance ARM Cortex-M4 CPU core with single-precision floating-point unit (FPU) for all data processing functions. With 32-bit resolution and a 120 MHz clocking frequency, the STM32L series are incredibly versatile MCUs with a wide variety of useful applications, with an emphasis on Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).
The STM32L series offers a wide selection of product options, each with its own useful features to best suit your system. Across every iteration of the STM32L is the ultra-low power operation that defines the series. Using STMicro’s proprietary FlexPowerControl, the STM32L chips have a miniscule 33 nA shutdown mode, with a maximum of 420 nA standby mode and a max run mode of 110 µA/MHz. The series’ bread and butter, the 32-bit ARM Cortex-M4 has the previously mentioned FPU with up to 120 MHz operating frequency, as well as 2 MB of flash and 640 KB of SRAM. The series has CAN, I2C, SPI, UART, USART and USB interfacing options and an industrial (-40 to 85oC) operating temperature range.
The series offers six options for packaging. For ease of information, the numbers following the packaging letters are the chip’s ball count. The LQFP100 is 196 mm2 in footprint. The LQFP144 package is 200 mm2. Both the UFBGA132 and the UFBGA169 are 49 mm2. The UFBGA144 is 100 mm2. The WLCSP144 is only 27.5 mm2 in footprint.
The STM32L4R5QII6 is the base model of the series offered by Arrow. The chip has a UFBGA132 package with 110 I/O pins, 16 ADC channels and 364 mW of power dissipation.
