STMicroelectronics STM32U3 Ultra-Low-Power 32-Bit Microcontrollers
STMicroelectronics STM32U3 Ultra-Low-Power Arm® Cortex®-M33 32-Bit Microcontrollers with TrustZone® and a Floating-Point Unit (FPU) operate at up to 96MHz. The single‑precision FPU supports all the Arm single‑precision data‑processing instructions and data types. The Cortex-M33 core also implements a full set of digital signal processing (DSP) instructions and a memory protection unit (MPU) that enhances application security. Based on near-threshold voltage technology, the STM32U3 devices reduce the active consumption down to 10µA/MHz, resulting in far longer battery life for any application.
The devices embed high‑speed memories (1-Mbyte flash memory and 256-Kbytes SRAM), one Octo/Quad-SPI flash memory interface, enhanced I/Os, peripherals connected to three APB buses, two AHB buses, and a 32‑bit multi‑AHB bus matrix. The STM32U3 MCUs embed protection mechanisms for embedded flash memory and SRAM. These devices also offer two 12-bit ADCs (2.5Msps), two comparators, two operational amplifiers, two DAC channels, an internal voltage reference buffer, a low-power RTC, three general-purpose 32-bit timers, one 16-bit PWM timer dedicated to motor control, three general-purpose 16-bit timers, two basic 16-bit timers, and up to four 16-bit low-power timers.
The STM32U3 devices embed a low-power digital filter dedicated to audio signals (ADF), with one filter supporting sound-activity detection. Other features include up to 21 capacitive sensing channels, standard/advanced communication interfaces, and several peripherals. STMicroelectronics STM32U3 MCUs deliver high protection against transient and other attacks.
