STM32 ARM Core Board (STM32F401CCU6)

Key Features

• Microcontroller Core: ARM Cortex-M4: A 32-bit processor that offers excellent performance, including hardware support for single-precision floating-point operations (FPU) and advanced signal processing capabilities. Clock Speed: Up to 84 MHz, which is much faster than lower-end microcontrollers, making it suitable for performance-intensive applications. Harvard Architecture: Separate instruction and data buses for faster execution. Memory: Flash Memory: 256 KB of flash memory for program storage, allowing the development of more complex applications. SRAM: 64 KB of static RAM, providing sufficient space for variables, buffers, and runtime operations. EEPROM: Available via emulation in flash memory, enabling non-volatile data storage. I/O and Peripherals: General Purpose I/O: 37 GPIO pins with many configurable options for digital I/O, interrupts, PWM, and more. Communication Interfaces: USART: Up to 3 USARTs for serial communication, ideal for interfacing with UART-based devices. I2C: Up to 3 I2C interfaces for communication with sensors and peripherals. SPI: Up to 3 SPI interfaces for high-speed data transfer with external devices. CAN: For automotive and industrial communication (CAN bus). Timers: Multiple 16-bit and 32-bit timers for generating PWM, measuring time intervals, and managing motor control. Analog Inputs: 12-bit ADC with up to 16 channels for reading analog signals from sensors, and a DAC for analog signal output. External Interrupts: The microcontroller has support for external interrupt lines to manage asynchronous events efficiently. Advanced Features: Floating Point Unit (FPU): For hardware-accelerated math operations, crucial for applications in signal processing and real-time calculations. DMA: Direct Memory Access for efficient data transfer between peripherals and memory without CPU involvement. Watchdog Timer: To monitor system reliability and reset the microcontroller in case of failure. Low Power Features: Includes multiple low-power modes, such as Sleep and Standby, ideal for battery-powered devices. Development and Debugging: Debugging Support: SWD (Serial Wire Debug) for efficient debugging with standard debugging tools. Compatible with various development environments, including STM32CubeIDE, Keil MDK, IAR Embedded Workbench, and GCC. ST-Link Debugger can be used for programming and debugging. Package and Form Factor: LQFP-48 package (48 pins), compact yet providing ample I/O options for integration into systems. The STM32F401CCU6 is widely available on development boards and evaluation kits for easy integration into your projects. Operating Voltage: Operates on 3.3V, with a voltage tolerance range of 2.0V to 3.6V.
