STMicro enters production with STM32 F0 Microcontrollers

“Now entering production, perfectly on schedule, our STM32 F0 series has achieved an important milestone, enabling ST customers to lead development of competitively priced, low-power end products delivering enhanced performance and value,” said Michel Buffa, General Manager for ST’s Microcontroller Division. STM32 F0 microcontrollers take advantage of the modern ARM Cortex-M0 32-bit embedded processor architecture, enabling product developers to break traditional price and performance limitations imposed by older, proprietary 8-bit and 16-bit devices. Pin compatibility, in addition to software, peripherals and development-tools compatibility across more than 300 device variants now available in all STM32 Cortex-M0, Cortex-M3 and Cortex-M4 series enhances flexibility and scalability. Prices and availability: The STM32 F0 is in mass production now, offering embedded memory densities from 16Kbyte to 64Kbyte Flash and 4Kbyte to 8Kbyte SRAM and UFQFPN32, LQFP48 and LQFP64 package options. An additional 20-pin in 16kbyte Flash configuration and extension to 128Kbyte Flash in a 100-pin package will soon be available. Resale prices for STM32 F0 microcontrollers start from $0.95 in quantities of 1000 pieces.
