STMicroelectronics has introduced its new STM32 F4 series of microcontrollers. This extension to the STM32 platform is based on the ARM Cortex-M4 core.
Claude Dardanne, Executive VP & GM, Microcontrollers, Memories & Secure MCUs Group said, "The STM32 F4 series is attractive for so many more reasons than simply because it is the highest performing Cortex M processor-based microcontroller available on the market today. With more than 250 compatible devices already in production, the industry's best development ecosystem, and outstanding power consumption and overall functionality, the F4 family is the cherry at the top of the STM32 family of Cortex-M processor-based MCUs, which now includes four product series: the STM32 F1 series, the STM32 F2 series and the STM32 L1 series, all based on the Cortex-M3 processor, and the new F4 Series, based on the Cortex-M4 processor."
Lance Howarth, EVP, Marketing, ARM said, "ST's decision to include the ARM Cortex-M4 processor into its broad MCU portfolio is a testimony to the processor's low power consumption, advanced design and high-performance DSP capabilities. ST now has one of the broadest ARM Cortex-M series processor-based portfolios available. The Cortex-M series represents the fastest growing MCU architecture and the STM32 F4 microcontroller will undoubtedly further accelerate the adoption of the ARM architecture across microcontroller applications."
The STM32 F4 Series is available in four variants- STM32F405x; STM32F407; STM32F415 and STM32F417. All variations are in volume production, with prices beginning from $5.74 for the STM32F407VET6 with 512 Kbytes of Flash and 192 Kbytes RAM in the LQFP100 package, for orders of more than 1,000 units.
