Product details
Overview
NUCLEO-L496ZG-P from STMicroelectronics is a STM32 Nucleo-144 development board built around the STM32L496ZGT6P ultra-low-power Arm® Cortex®-M4 MCU (100 MHz, 1 MB Flash, 320 KB SRAM), featuring external SMPS support, USB OTG Full-Speed via Micro-AB connector, ST Zio expansion interface with ARDUINO® Uno V3 compatibility, and integrated ST-LINK/V2-1 debugger/programmer. It targets rapid prototyping of battery-powered IoT edge nodes and sensor hubs.
For engineers reviewing the NUCLEO-L496ZG-P datasheet, NUCLEO-L496ZG-P pinout, NUCLEO-L496ZG-P application, or NUCLEO-L496ZG-P equivalent, key selection considerations include external SMPS integration capability, LQFP144-based STM32L496 target MCU compatibility, ST Zio + morpho expansion header access, and out-of-box USB OTG FS debug & programming support without external probes.
Technical Context
The board implements a complete evaluation platform for the STM32L496ZGT6P microcontroller, which integrates a Cortex-M4F core with FPU, 1 MB dual-bank Flash supporting read-while-write, and advanced power management including Stop 2 mode with RTC and 20 nA standby current. The external SMPS circuitry enables efficient core voltage regulation in Run mode, reducing system-level power consumption versus linear regulators.
Hardware interfaces include dedicated SWD debugging, 32.768 kHz crystal for RTC accuracy, three user LEDs (LD1–LD3), two push-buttons (user + reset), and dual expansion headers: ST Zio (ARDUINO® Uno V3 compatible) and ST morpho (full I/O access). Power can be supplied via ST-LINK USB VBUS, USB Micro-B, or external 5–12 V sources.

FAQ
What is the difference between NUCLEO-L496ZG and NUCLEO-L496ZG-P?
The "-P" suffix indicates the board integrates external SMPS circuitry for highly efficient core voltage regulation, whereas the standard NUCLEO-L496ZG uses a linear regulator. This enables significantly lower power consumption in active and low-power modes, critical for battery-operated applications requiring multi-year runtime.
Does NUCLEO-L496ZG-P support Arduino shields?
Yes-it features the ST Zio expansion connector, which is fully compatible with ARDUINO® Uno V3 pinout and mechanical footprint. This allows direct use of standard Arduino shields without adapters, while also providing access to additional STM32-specific peripherals via the adjacent ST morpho header.
Can the on-board ST-LINK/V2-1 program other STM32 boards?
Yes-the ST-LINK/V2-1 is detachable via solder bridges and can be used as a standalone debugger/programmer for external STM32 targets. Its firmware supports SWD/JTAG protocols and enumerates as mass storage, Virtual COM port, and debug interface when connected to a host PC.
Which IDEs are officially supported for NUCLEO-L496ZG-P?
STMicroelectronics officially supports STM32CubeIDE (free, cross-platform), Keil MDK-ARM (Windows only), and IAR Embedded Workbench® (Windows only). All provide full debugging, flash programming, and peripheral configuration via STM32CubeMX integration and HAL/LL driver libraries.
