STM8L Ultra Low-Power 8-Bit MCUs

STMicroelectronics' EnergyLite™ family meets growing requirement for 'greener' products

Image of STMicroelectronics' STM8L Ultra Low-Power 8-Bit MCU STMicroelectronics' STM8L ultra low-power, ultra low-voltage 8-bit MCU family combines a high performance STM8 8-bit core with advanced analog functions on an optimized ultra low-power 130 nm technology platform. This family features 26 compatible devices that deliver scalable performance down to 350 nA static power and industry-leading 150 µA/MHz dynamic current. A complete set of easy-to-use development tools includes free firmware libraries, a free ST MCU Toolset, compilers (Cosmic, IAR & Raisonance), a new EWSTM8 IAR Embedded Workbench, and very-low cost in-circuit debuggers (RLink & ST-LINK).

Features
  • High-performance STM8 8-bit core: up to 16 CISC MIPS at 16 MHz
  • 26 pin-to-pin and software compatible devices, three product lines
  • 4 KB to 32 KB of embedded Flash, up to 2 KB of SRAM
  • Run mode dynamic consumption down to 150 µA/MHz
  • Four Ultra Low-Power modes: down to 350 nA with SRAM and context retention
  • State-of-the-art digital and analog peripherals
  • Free touch-sensing library
