Product details

Overview

NUCLEO-F072RB from STMicroelectronics is an STM32 Nucleo-64 development board built around the STM32F072RBT6 microcontroller (Arm® Cortex®-M0, 48 MHz, 128 KB Flash, 16 KB RAM, LQFP64). It integrates ST-LINK/V2-1 debugger/programmer via USB Mini-B, supports Arduino Uno V3 and ST morpho expansion headers, and includes a 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator, two user push-buttons (user + reset), and one shared user LED - enabling rapid prototyping of low-power industrial control and sensor interface applications.

For engineers reviewing the NUCLEO-F072RB datasheet, NUCLEO-F072RB pinout, NUCLEO-F072RB application, or NUCLEO-F072RB equivalent, this board delivers verified USB device connectivity, real-time GPIO/peripheral access via morpho headers, on-board debug over Virtual COM port and mass storage, and compatibility with STM32CubeIDE, IAR EWARM, and Keil MDK-ARM toolchains - all without external probes.

Technical Context

The NUCLEO-F072RB implements the STM32F072RBT6 MCU with full-speed USB 2.0 device capability (no host or OTG), supporting CDC, HID, and MSC class implementations out-of-box. Its power architecture uses VBUS-derived 5 V input routed to linear regulators for 3.3 V logic and core supply, with no SMPS support (per codification '-R' and absence of SMPS-related features in ordering table).

Board-level peripherals include a calibrated 32.768 kHz RTC crystal, ARDUINO® Uno V3-compatible header (digital pins D0–D13, analog A0–A5), and ST morpho headers exposing all 64 LQFP I/Os including USART, SPI, I²C, ADC, DAC, and 16-bit timers - enabling direct evaluation of mixed-signal timing, motor control PWM, and secure boot sequences using hardware AES acceleration.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
Target MCU	STM32F072RBT6: Arm Cortex-M0 @ 48 MHz, 128 KB Flash, 16 KB SRAM, LQFP64 package
Debug Interface	Integrated ST-LINK/V2-1 via USB Mini-B: provides SWD debugging, Virtual COM port, and mass storage programming
Expansion Headers	Arduino Uno V3 (14 digital + 6 analog pins) + ST morpho (all 64 MCU I/Os), both 3.3 V tolerant
USB Support	Full-speed USB 2.0 device only (no host/OTG); supports CDC, HID, and MSC classes directly from MCU firmware
Timing Sources	On-board 32.768 kHz crystal for RTC; no HSE oscillator - relies on internal 8 MHz RC or USB PLL clocking
Power Input	5 V via ST-LINK USB VBUS or external source (7–12 V on VIN pin); regulated 3.3 V output available for shields

FAQ

Does NUCLEO-F072RB support USB host or OTG functionality?

No. The STM32F072RBT6 MCU on this board implements USB 2.0 Full-Speed device mode only - it lacks USB host or OTG PHY and associated firmware stack support. Applications requiring host capability must use boards based on STM32F4/F7/H7 series or external USB host controllers.

Can the onboard ST-LINK/V2-1 debug probe program external STM32 targets?

Yes. The ST-LINK/V2-1 firmware supports external target programming via SWD interface. Users can disconnect the solder bridge SB15/SB16 (as documented in UM1724) to isolate the onboard MCU and connect SWDIO/SWCLK to an external STM32, retaining full debug, flash, and reset control.

Is there hardware support for cryptography acceleration on NUCLEO-F072RB?

No. The STM32F072RBT6 does not integrate hardware AES or SHA accelerators. Cryptographic operations must be implemented in software using STM32Cube HAL libraries or third-party lightweight crypto stacks - with performance limited by 48 MHz CPU clock and no dedicated crypto co-processor.

What is the maximum operating ambient temperature for reliable board operation?

The board is rated for operation from –40 °C to +85 °C ambient, consistent with the STM32F072RBT6's industrial temperature grade and the commercial-grade passive components used in the NUCLEO-F072RB design (UM1724 Section 5.2).
