Product details
Overview
ST62T01CB3 from STMicroelectronics is an 8-bit OTP microcontroller with 2KB program memory, 64 bytes RAM, integrated 8-bit ADC (4-channel), dual timers (including watchdog), oscillator safeguard, and low-voltage detector. It operates from 3.0V to 6.0V across –40°C to +125°C and targets automotive body electronics, appliance control, and industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the ST62T01CB3 datasheet, ST62T01CB3 pinout, ST62T01CB3 application, or ST62T01CB3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 16-pin PDIP/SO/SSOP package, 8MHz max clock, high-sink I/O (20mA), safe reset architecture, and A/D conversion capability for embedded analog-digital control loops.
Technical Context
The ST62T01CB3 implements a Harvard-architecture 8-bit CPU core with 40 instructions and 9 addressing modes. Its clock system supports crystal, RC, or external clock inputs, plus a backup LFAO and Oscillator Safeguard (OSG) to detect and recover from clock failure.
Reset management includes asynchronous RESET pin, NMI, watchdog timeout, and LVD-triggered safe reset. Power management features Wait and Stop modes, with STOP mode drawing ≤1 µA at 5V - enabling battery-backed operation in low-power sensing nodes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Core Architecture | 8-bit ST6 Harvard CPU with 40 instructions and 9 addressing modes - enables compact firmware and deterministic timing for real-time control. |
| Program Memory | 2KB OTP - provides one-time programmable, tamper-resistant code storage without need for external EPROM programmer. |
| RAM Size | 64 bytes - sufficient for stack, registers, and small state variables in resource-constrained embedded applications. |
| ADC Resolution & Inputs | 8-bit SAR ADC with 4 analog input channels - supports direct voltage monitoring of sensors (e.g., thermistors, potentiometers) without external signal conditioning. |
| Operating Voltage | 3.0V to 6.0V - compatible with 5V legacy systems and tolerant of automotive battery fluctuations. |
| Temperature Range | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial environments requiring extended thermal reliability. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 8 MHz - balances processing throughput and power efficiency for mid-speed control tasks like motor commutation or display refresh. |
Pinout & Package
ST62T01CB3 is housed in a 16-pin plastic DIP (PDIP16) package with 0.3-inch body width and 0.1-inch lead pitch - compatible with standard through-hole PCB assembly and socket-based prototyping.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Power supply | Primary 3.0–6.0V supply rail; decoupling capacitor required near pin for noise immunity. |
| VSS | Ground reference | Digital ground return path; must be low-impedance and tied to system GND plane. |
| OSCIN / OSCOUT | Crystal/resonator interface | Connects to external quartz crystal (e.g., 4–8 MHz) or ceramic resonator; internal oscillator circuitry drives clock generation. |
| RESET | Asynchronous active-low reset | Hardware-initiated reset on falling edge; debounced externally to prevent spurious resets during power-up or EMI events. |
| NMI | Non-maskable interrupt input | Edge-triggered emergency interrupt (e.g., for fault detection); cannot be disabled by software. |
| PA0–PA3 | Port A bidirectional I/O | PA1–PA3 support 20mA sink capability - drive LEDs, relays, or logic-level MOSFET gates directly without buffer stages. |
| PB0–PB7 | Port B bidirectional I/O | Includes alternate functions: PB3, PB5–PB7 serve as analog inputs (Ain0–Ain3) for ADC channel selection. |
| VPP | Programming voltage | 12.5V input during OTP programming - not used in normal operation; must be grounded or left unconnected in run mode. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Oscillator Safeguard (OSG) | Detects main oscillator failure and forces safe transition to backup LFAO - prevents system lockup in safety-critical timing paths. |
| Low Voltage Detector (LVD) | Monitors VDD and triggers hardware reset if voltage drops below 2.7V (typ.) - avoids erratic CPU behavior during brown-out conditions. |
| High-Sink I/O Outputs | Three pins (PA1–PA3) deliver 20mA sink current - eliminates need for external driver transistors in LED indicators or solenoid control. |
| Two Power-Saving Modes | Wait mode halts CPU while preserving RAM and peripheral clocks; Stop mode disables all clocks and reduces current to ≤1 µA - extends battery life in portable devices. |
| Integrated Watchdog Timer | Configurable digital watchdog with independent clock source - ensures recovery from software hangs without external components. |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control | Smart Appliance Interface |

Use Value: PDIP16 footprint matches legacy sockets; OTP memory simplifies field reprogramming versus mask ROM parts. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ST62T00CB3 | 1KB OTP program memory (vs. 2KB), identical peripherals and pinout | Suitable where firmware size <1KB suffices; lower cost but no headroom for feature expansion | Select when code footprint is verified ≤1KB and BOM cost sensitivity outweighs future scalability needs. |
| ST62T20CB3 | Includes on-chip EEPROM (128 bytes) and enhanced I/O drive (30mA sink), same 2KB OTP | Better suited for applications requiring nonvolatile parameter storage (e.g., calibration data) or higher-current actuator drive | Choose when EEPROM retention or >20mA output capability is required - adds cost but improves functional integration. |
Compared with ST62T01CB3, ST62T00CB3 trades memory capacity for cost reduction, while ST62T20CB3 adds EEPROM and stronger I/O at higher unit price - enabling trade-offs between firmware scalability, data persistence, and drive strength without changing PCB layout.

FAQ
Is ST62T01CB3 pin-compatible with ST62T00CB3?
Yes - both devices share identical 16-pin PDIP/SO/SSOP packages and pin assignments, including VDD, VSS, RESET, OSCIN/OSCOUT, and I/O port mapping. The only functional difference is program memory size (2KB vs. 1KB), making ST62T01CB3 a drop-in upgrade where additional firmware space is needed.
What clock sources does ST62T01CB3 support?
ST62T01CB3 supports four clock sources: external crystal or ceramic resonator (up to 8 MHz), RC network, external CMOS clock signal, and internal low-frequency auxiliary oscillator (LFAO) for backup timing. The Oscillator Safeguard (OSG) monitors main oscillator health and automatically switches to LFAO on failure.
Can the ADC operate during STOP mode?
No - the ADC requires the main system clock and is disabled in STOP mode. However, it remains fully operational in WAIT mode, allowing low-power background sampling while CPU is halted. For ultra-low-power wake-on-analog-threshold use cases, external comparators or dedicated low-power ADCs are recommended.
Does ST62T01CB3 require external reset circuitry?
Yes - although it includes an internal Low Voltage Detector (LVD), the RESET pin is asynchronous and requires external RC debounce (e.g., 10kΩ pull-up + 100nF capacitor) to meet minimum pulse width and noise immunity requirements specified in Section 10.9.1 of the datasheet. This ensures reliable reset assertion during power ramp-up and transient events.
