STM32 (CORTEX M3) - 32-bit Microcontrollers

The STM32 family of 32-bit Flash Microcontrollers is based on the breakthrough ARM Cortex-M3 core - a core specifically developed for embedded applications. The STM32 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. The STM32 family is built to offer new degrees of freedom to MCU users.
