STM32F030F4P6 32BIT ARM MICROCONTROLLER

The STM32F030F4P6 is a very compact and cost-effective 32-bit ARM microcontroller from the STMicroelectronics STM32F0 Value-line series. It is known for its small package size and low pin count, making it ideal for extremely small or simple projects.

Key Specifications

• Core:ARM Cortex-M032-bit RISC, offering high performance for its class.

• Max Frequency: Up to 48MHz.

• Flash Memory:16KB (Program storage).

• SRAM:4KB (Data RAM).

• Package:TSSOP-20 (20 pin, small form factor).

• I/O Pins:15 General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) pins.

Features and Applications

The F030F4P6 provides a basic yet capable set of peripherals:

• Analog: Includes a single 12-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) with up to 10 external channels.

• Timers: Multiple 16-bit general-purpose timers and one advanced-control PWM timer for applications like motor control and signal generation.

• Communication:

  • One I2C interface.

  • One SPI interface.

  • One {USART (Universal Synchronous/Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter).

• Power: Operates from a low supply voltage of 2.4V to $3.6V and supports low-power modes (Sleep, Stop, Standby).

Due to its small size and affordability, this microcontroller is commonly used in:

• Consumer electronics and small gadgets.

• Simple sensor interfaces and data acquisition.

• Educational projects where board space is minimal.

• Home appliances and appliance control.

It is often found on tiny "Minimum System" boards that are programmed using an external ST-LINK debugger via the SWD (Serial Wire Debug) protocol.
