New Gen MCUs from STMicroelectronics

MCUs

The new ultra-low-power STM32 microcontrollers for industrial, medical, smart-metering, and consumer applications delivers more at effective cost.

The latest microcontrollers (MCUs)  from STMicroelectronics are both energy-conscious and cost-effective. They’ll reduce energy consumption by up to 50% compared to previous product generations. This enables less frequent battery replacements, minimizes the impact of discarded batteries, and allows more designs to go battery freerunning solely from an energy-harvesting system such as a small photovoltaic cell.

The new MCUs consume so little power that small devices in some dedicated applications like industrial sensor management can run for twice as long from the same size battery. This comes with the opportunity to add more advanced features and deliver cost-effective solutions for a variety of industrial, medical and consumer devices.

The new STM32U0 MCUs offer combination of their state-of-the-art design techniques and advanced manufacturing process. These include extremely low static power consumption in standby mode and superior wake-up performance, enabling the MCU to spend more time in power-saving sleep modes to minimize average energy demand.

The STM32U0 enhances cost-effectiveness by providing an LCD segment display controller. Additional value-added features of STM32U0 MCUs include numerous analog peripherals like analog-to-digital converters (ADC), digital-to-analog converters (DAC), operational amplifiers, and comparators. There is also an on-chip system oscillator that helps cut the bill of materials to save costs and PCB space. The STM32U0 series is in production now and ST is making the new devices available at an attractive price point starting at $0.68 for 1,000 units.
