Product details
Overview
ST62T25CB6 from STMicroelectronics is an 8-bit OTP microcontroller with 4KB program memory, 64 bytes RAM, integrated 8-bit ADC (16-channel), dual timers (including watchdog), oscillator safeguard, and low-voltage detector. It operates from 3.0V to 6.0V at up to 8MHz and targets automotive body electronics, industrial sensor interfaces, and appliance control panels requiring robust reset management and analog sensing.
For engineers reviewing the ST62T25CB6 datasheet, ST62T25CB6 pinout, ST62T25CB6 application, or ST62T25CB6 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20 I/O lines (4 high-sink 20mA outputs), Wait/Stop power-saving modes, LFAO backup oscillator, and safe reset architecture with OSG and LVD - all critical for cost-sensitive, safety-aware embedded designs.
Technical Context
The ST62T25CB6 implements a Harvard-architecture 8-bit CPU core with 40 instructions and 9 addressing modes. Its clock system supports crystal, RC, external clock, and low-frequency auxiliary oscillator (LFAO) sources, with Oscillator Safeguard (OSG) monitoring main oscillator integrity and triggering safe reset on failure.
Interrupt handling includes 4 vectors plus NMI and RESET, servicing 20 external interrupt lines across two vectors. The 8-bit ADC features 16 selectable analog inputs with dedicated port pins (PB5–PB7, PC4–PC7), while the 8-bit timer integrates a 7-bit prescaler and supports counter/timer modes with interrupt capability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Core Architecture | 8-bit Harvard CPU with 40 instructions and 9 addressing modes - enables compact firmware and deterministic timing for real-time control. |
| Program Memory | 4KB OTP - provides non-volatile, customer-programmable code storage without need for external EPROM programmers. |
| RAM Size | 64 bytes - sufficient for register shadowing, stack depth (up to 6 levels), and small variable sets in resource-constrained applications. |
| ADC Resolution & Inputs | 8-bit resolution with 16 analog input channels - supports multi-sensor monitoring (e.g., temperature, voltage, potentiometer) without external MUX. |
| Operating Voltage | 3.0V to 6.0V - allows direct interface with 5V logic and compatibility with automotive battery-supplied systems (e.g., 12V nominal with regulation). |
| Max Clock Frequency | 8MHz - delivers ~1 MIPS throughput suitable for motor control commutation, PWM generation, and serial protocol bit-banging. |
| Power Modes | Wait and Stop modes - reduce active current to 1.2mA (Wait) or 2µA (Stop), enabling battery-powered operation for >1 year in intermittent-sensing applications. |
| Reset Features | Enhanced reset system with Low Voltage Detector (LVD) and Oscillator Safeguard (OSG) - ensures reliable initialization under brown-out or clock fault conditions. |
Pinout & Package
ST62T25CB6 is housed in a 28-pin Plastic Dual In-line Package (PDIP28) with 0.6-inch width and standard 0.1-inch pin pitch, compatible with through-hole prototyping and legacy industrial PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Power supply input | Primary 3.0–6.0V supply rail; decoupling capacitor required near pin for noise immunity in mixed-signal operation. |
| VSS | Ground reference | Digital ground return path; must be connected to system GND plane with low-inductance trace to minimize reset glitches. |
| OSCin / OSCout | Crystal/resonator interface | Connects to external 1–8MHz crystal or ceramic resonator; internal feedback inverter enables self-contained clock generation. |
| RESET | Active-low reset input | Asynchronous, Schmitt-triggered input; initiates full hardware reset when pulled low, overriding all internal states. |
| NMI | Non-maskable interrupt input | Edge-triggered emergency interrupt (e.g., for overtemperature or safety-critical fault detection) that cannot be disabled by software. |
| PA0–PA3 | Port A I/O lines | 4 high-sink outputs (20mA each) - drive LEDs, relays, or small solenoids directly without external drivers. |
| PA4–PA7, PB0–PB7, PC4–PC7 | Analog input multiplexing pins | 16 dedicated ADC input channels - mapped to port pins with shared digital I/O functionality; configured via control registers. |
| VPP | Programming voltage input | Accepts 12.5V during OTP programming; left unconnected or tied to VDD in normal operation to prevent accidental reprogramming. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Oscillator Safeguard (OSG) | Monitors main oscillator activity and forces safe reset within 2ms if oscillation stops - prevents runaway code execution during crystal failure. |
| Low Voltage Detector (LVD) | Generates reset when VDD drops below programmable threshold (typically 2.7V or 4.0V) - avoids undefined logic states and flash corruption during power sag. |
| 8-bit ADC with 16 inputs | Single-scan conversion time ≤100µs per channel; internal reference enables ratiometric measurements without external voltage reference IC. |
| Configurable watchdog timer | Timeout period adjustable from 16ms to 2.1s via option byte; resets MCU if firmware fails to service it - essential for fail-safe embedded control. |
| 20 multifunctional I/O lines | All pins support digital input/output, interrupt capability, and alternate functions (e.g., timer capture, ADC input); PA0–PA3 provide 20mA sink for direct LED/relay drive. |
| Backup LFAO oscillator | Internal low-frequency RC oscillator (~32kHz) remains active during Stop mode - enables wake-up via RTC or periodic sampling without external crystal. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ST62T25C/SO28 | Same core, 4KB OTP, but in SO28 surface-mount package - no through-hole mounting or manual soldering support. | Suitable for automated SMT production; unsuitable for breadboarding or repair-replacement in PDIP-based legacy boards. | Select only if board layout and assembly process fully support SOIC footprint and reflow profile. |
| ST62E25C/PDIP28 | EPROM version with UV-erasable memory - requires EPROM programmer and UV eraser; identical pinout and peripherals. | Used during firmware development and prototyping where frequent code iteration is needed before final OTP mask. | Choose for lab validation and pre-production; avoid for volume manufacturing due to higher cost and programming overhead. |
Compared with ST62T25CB6, the SO28 variant trades mechanical serviceability for SMT scalability, while the EPROM version adds development flexibility at the cost of field-programmability and lifecycle control - making the OTP PDIP version optimal for cost-sensitive, fixed-function production units.

FAQ
Is ST62T25CB6 still in active production?
No - ST62T25CB6 is an obsolete part per STMicroelectronics' official product status. However, Aetrix Electronics maintains legacy inventory with full traceability and offers long-term supply support for existing designs undergoing maintenance or end-of-life transition planning.
What programming tools are required for ST62T25CB6?
The ST62T25CB6 requires the ST62xx series-compatible programmer (e.g., ST-LINK with ST6 adapter or third-party universal programmers supporting ST6 OTP protocols) and ST's STVP (ST Visual Programmer) software. Programming voltage (VPP = 12.5V) must be applied externally during OTP write cycles.
Can ST62T25CB6 operate without an external crystal?
Yes - it supports RC oscillator mode using an internal resistor and external capacitor (1–22nF), delivering ~1–8MHz frequency depending on R/C values. Accuracy is ±10% over temperature and voltage, sufficient for non-timing-critical applications like LED dimming or basic sensor polling.
Does ST62T25CB6 support in-circuit debugging?
No - the ST62T25CB6 lacks on-chip debug interfaces (e.g., SWD or JTAG). Development relies on ROM/EPROM variants (e.g., ST62E25C) with external emulators or ICE tools, or uses printf-style UART logging and GPIO toggling for runtime diagnostics.
