microcontrollers
Most affordable entry to STM32 family now in
high-volume production and available for shipment, covered by ST’s
10-year longevity program
Geneva, January 12,
2023 – STMicroelectronics (NYSE:
STM), a global semiconductor leader serving customers
across the spectrum of electronics applications, is again
broadening access to its STM32 microcontroller (MCU) family by
introducing the most affordable series yet: the STM32C0.
STM32 MCUs are used in billions of smart industrial, medical,
and consumer products worldwide. With thousands of existing STM32
part numbers, product designers can select the features and
performance they need at a price to suit their market.
In assuring availability, ST targets the new STM32C0 series to
equipment like home appliances, industrial pumps, fans, smoke
detectors, typically served by simpler 8-bit and 16-bit MCUs. The
modern, 32-bit design of the STM32C0 permits improvements such as
faster response, extra functions, and network connection at similar
overall cost and power consumption. At the same time, its
entry-level simplicity and free and extensive support ecosystem
with resources including tools, software packs, and the chance to
connect with various developer communities ease entry to the 32-bit
world for new users.
“The next generations of smart appliances and industrial
controllers must be easy to use, ultra-competitively priced, and
with assured supply,” said Daniel Colonna, STM32 Marketing Director
at STMicroelectronics. “By delivering on these requirements, our
new STM32C0 general-purpose entry-level MCUs introduce exciting
options to the 8-/16-bit applications space, with the added
benefits that come with the broad and powerful STM32
ecosystem.”
The STM32C0 series, now in high-volume production and available
for shipment, is covered by ST’s 10-year longevity program for
industrial products, renewed every year. Nine package choices are
available, offering various attributes such as easy handling,
ultra-small form factor, and low profile.
Further technical information
ST has engineered the new STM32C0 series to let designers do
more with less: the MCUs are housed in small and economical
packages with only one pair of external power connections, making
more I/O pins available for the application while lowering
bill-of-materials costs. Also, an on-board, high-accuracy (1%)
clock saves external timing components.
As a part of the STM32 continuum, STM32C0 devices allow easy
migration into the STM32G0 Series to tackle more demanding
projects, sharing a consistent pinout.
The STM32C0 series integrates up to date peripherals, including
a 1.7 MSPS analog-digital converter (ADC) with hardware for 16-bit
over-sampling multiple timers including an advanced control timer
for applications like motor control.
Leveraging the STM32 platform, the new MCUs provide DMA (direct
memory access) channels that boost application performance and
efficiency. They run at up to 48MHz and deliver 44 DMIPS
instruction throughput with CoreMark performance/efficiency of 114,
drawing just 80µA/MHz in run mode.
The STM32C0 series connects designers with the highly regarded
STM32 development ecosystem. An STM32C0 Nucleo (NUCLEO-C031C6)
low-cost development board and two STM32C0 Discovery Kits
(STM32C0116-DK and STM32C0316-DK) are available. Software resources
include STM32C0 support in the STM32CubeMX configuration tool,
Microsoft Azure RTOS, and the STM32CubeC0 MCU package with Hardware
Abstraction Layer (HAL) and low-layer libraries.
