STM32U5 MCUs address power saving issues
STMicroelectronics has unveiled a new generation of extreme power-saving microcontrollers (MCUs), the STM32U5 series.
This new generation has been designed to meet the most demanding power/performance requirements for smart applications including wearables, personal medical devices, home automation, and industrial sensors.
Built upon the highly energy-efficient Arm Cortex-M processors, the STM32 MCUs are already in billions of domestic appliances, industrial controls, computer peripherals, communication devices, and equipment managing smart cities and infrastructure.
The new STM32U5 series teams the efficient Arm Cortex-M33 core with STâs proprietary power-saving features and on-chip IP cutting down energy demand while looking to boost performance. The line also adds state-of-the-art features that are needed by modern applications, including advanced cybersecurity with new hardware-based protection targeting PSA and SESIP (Security Evaluation Standard for IoT Platforms) assurance level 3, as well as graphics accelerators for rich user experiences.
