The STM32 family of 32-bit Flash Microcontrollers is based on the breakthrough ARM Cortex™-M3 core - a core specifically developed for embedded applications. TheSTM32 family benefits from the Cortex-M3 architectural enhancements including the Thumb-2 instruction set to deliver improved performance with better code density, significantly faster response to interrupts,all combined with industry leading power consumption. ST is now the first leading MCU supplier to introduce a product family based on this core. The STM32 family is built to offer new degrees of freedom to MCU users.It offers a complete 32-bit product range that combines high performance,low power and low voltage, while maintaining full integration and ease of development..
The STM32 advantages:
Leading-edge architecture with the latest Cortex-M3core from ARM
Superior and innovative peripherals
Low power/low voltage capability
Maximum integration
Easy development, fast time to market
The high level of pin-to-pin, peripheral and software compatibility across the family gives you full flexibility.
STM32, more choice with 2 complete lines:
The Performance line, STM32F103,operates at 72 MHz, with more on-chip RAM and peripherals on board.It takes the 32-bit MCU world to new levels of performance and energy efficiency. With its Cortex-M3 core at 72 MHz, it is able to perform high-end computation. Its peripheral set brings superior control and connectivity.
The Access line, STM32F101,operates at 36 MHz. It is the entry point of the STM32 family.It has the power of the 32-bit MCU but at a 16-bit
