The new STM32U3 series of microcontrollers from STMicroelectronics implements cutting-edge power-saving innovations which ease the deployment of battery-powered embedded devices, especially in remote locations.
These latest MCUs are aimed at IoT devices that operate for extended periods without maintenance and with the limited energy from a coin cell or ambient solar or thermoelectric source. The MCUs take advantage of innovative techniques such as near-threshold design to cut dynamic power consumption and boost efficiency.
In addition to extreme energy efficiency, the STM32U3 MCUs, which are based on an Arm® Cortex®-M33 core running at up to 96MHz, meet the needs of IoT devices by providing robust cybersecurity. For instance, the STM32U385 line can confine secret keys permanently in secure memory, eliminating vulnerable CPU fetches. In addition, attestation credentials for each production unit are provisioned by ST before leaving the factory.
The rich set of security capabilities and assets in the STM32U3 series helps device manufacturers to comply with regulations such as the European Union radio equipment directive and the cybersecurity resilience act.
The STM32U3 series gives designers flexibility to optimize board layout, with a choice of nine package options with from 32 to 100 pins, including UFQFPN, WLCSP, LQFP and UFBGA styles.
Part Number: [NUCLEO-U385RG-Q]
The STM32 Nucleo-64 board for the STMicroelectronics STM32U3 series of ultra-low-power microcontrollers provides an affordable and flexible way for users to try new concepts and build prototypes.
The new STM32U3 series implements cutting-edge power-saving innovations which ease the deployment of battery-powered embedded devices, especially in remote locations.
These latest MCUs are aimed at IoT devices that operate for extended periods without maintenance and with the limited energy from a coin cell or ambient solar or thermoelectric source. The MCUs take advantage of innovative techniques such as near-threshold design to cut dynamic power consumption, boosting efficiency by a factor of two compared to the previous STM32U5 series of ultra-low-power MCUs from ST.
The NUCLEO-U385RG-Q board offers Arduino Uno V3 connectivity support. ST morpho headers allow easy expansion of the functionality of the STM32 Nucleo open development platform with a wide choice of specialized shields.
The STM32 Nucleo-64 board does not require any separate probe as it integrates the ST-LINK debugger/programmer.
The STM32 Nucleo-64 board is supplied with comprehensive, free STM32 software libraries and examples available with the STM32Cube MCU package.
