STMicroelectronics STM8L Ultra-Low-Power Microcontrollers

STMicroelectronics STM8L Microcontrollers (MCUs) use a proprietary ultra-low leakage process and optimized architecture to provide high performance and ultra-low power consumption. The MCU, which includes the STM8L101xx and STM8L15xx, is based on the 8-bit STM8 core and is ideal for many applications with special care on power savings. The STM8L embeds up to 4 different ultra-low-power modes to offer users a high level of flexibility. STMicroelectronics STM8L MCUs offer a high level of integration and a compact footprint. The STM8L-DISCOVERY Board is ideal for evaluating the high-performance MCUs.

Features

  • Ultra-low-power proprietary 130nm technology
  • Ultra-low-power design (clock gating, low-power Flash with power-off capability)
  • Sub 1μA hardware RTC and AWU system unit
  • Range of low-power modes (up to 4)
  • Advanced and flexible clock system (multiple internal and external clock sources)
  • Direct memory access on board (4-channel DMA)
  • Ultra-low-power and ultra-safe reset system POR/PDR; additional optional activation BOR
  • Ultra-fast wakeup from lowest low-power mode (4μs)
  • Analog functional down to 1.8V, programming down to 1.65V
  • Speed and power consumption independent of MCU power supply, ultra-low leakage
  • Reduced overall run and wait mode current consumption by turning off clocks of unused peripherals or Flash
  • Ultra-low-power modes for applications requesting regular wakeup
  • Suitable for many applications from complete switch-off to continuous monitoring at ultra-low frequency
  • Switch and adjust frequency and clock sources on the fly depending on application needs
  • Autonomy for peripherals, independent from core; can switch off flash memory and CPU (large current consumption contributors) while keeping peripherals active
  • Integrated safety and security for application
  • Fast switching from static and dynamic power modes
  • Full functionality over the complete Vdd range

Applications

  • Portable medical
  • Battery operated devices
  • Mobile phone
  • Personal care
  • Toys and gaming
  • PC peripherals
  • Security sensors
  • Tolling
  • Ultra-low-power
