STMicroelectronics enriches its STM32F4 series

STMicroelectronics has enhanced its STM32F4 series with the addition of entry level microcontroller STM32F401 featuring the ARM Cortex-M4 32-bit/DSP core. STM32F401 microcontroller according to STMicroelectronics is designed to balance performance, power consumption and integration .It also offers 105DMIPS at 84MHz, 187µA/MHz active current and 11µA typical STOP current.   

The key features of the microcontroller which make it ideal for managing sensors for medical and mobile applications or for fieldbus-powered industrial sensor modules includes its 3x3mm dimensions and 105°C ambient-temperature capability.The device integrates a 12-bit 16-channel 2.4Msample/s ADC, 12 communication ports including USB OTG, I2S, I2C and SPI, a motor-control timer, and multiple general-purpose timer’s features.

Pricing ranges from $2.45 for the STM32F401CBY6 with 128KByte Flash and 64KByte SRAM in WLCSP49 package, to $3.96 for the STM32F401VCH6 with 256KByte Flash and 64KByte SRAM in UFBGA100 package.
