STMicro microcontroller families

- OVERVIEW -

This wiki page a stash point for comparative notes on contemporary, cerca 2020 microcontroller families. First comparisons looking at ARM Cortex-M0 and Cortex-M4 class parts. Search may extend to other architectures, depending on low power abilities of parts and availabilities.

Processors from two families to investigate:

• STM32F427/437 – serial audio interface, more performance and lower static power consumption
  
• STM32F410 – New milestone in outstanding power efficiency (89 µA/MHz and 6 µA in Stop mode), true random number generator, low-power timer, and DAC.
  
• STM32F413/F423 – Extends STM32F412 features with higher RAM and Flash memory density and an enhanced peripheral set including 10 UARTs, 3 CANs, SAI interface, a low-power timer, 2 DACs, 2 DFSDM with up to 6 filters. The STM32F423 includes AES encryption.

16-bit Microcontrollers

Had heard of sixteen bit microcontrollers, but interesting to find that STMicro manufactures one. There is only one such bit-width part on STMicro's site, and it is not recommended for new designs. Link here:
