Development kit for 32-bit MCUs

27 June 2012 Design Automation

To coincide with the commencement of volume production of its 32-bit STM32 F0 microcontroller series, STMicroelectronics has released a dedicated Discovery Kit.

Developers can purchase the STM32F0 Discovery Kit to start new projects based on STM32 F0 devices. The kit contains a prototype microcontroller board featuring pushbuttons and indicator LEDs, which plugs directly into a PC’s USB port and is supported by demonstration code and sample firmware. The kit is compatible with STM32 software development environments from leading third-party vendors Atollic, IAR, Keil and TASKING.

STM32 F0 microcontrollers take advantage of the ARM Cortex-M0 32-bit embedded processor architecture. Pin compatibility, in addition to software, peripheral and development tool compatibility across more than 300 device variants now available in all STM32 Cortex-M0, Cortex-M3 and Cortex-M4 series enhances flexibility and scalability.

Differentiating features of STM32 F0 devices include built-in hardware RAM-parity checking, which simplifies compatibility with the Class-B industry safety standard for home appliance applications and enhances real-time application performance. A Clock Security System (CSS) is also integrated, which enhances the reliability of the application. In addition, advanced timing capabilities with dead-time generation and inverted channels help designers overcome common challenges when designing motor controls.
