Product details
Overview
ST62T52CB6 from STMicroelectronics is an 8-bit HCMOS microcontroller with integrated 8-bit A/D converter (4 analog inputs), 128 bytes of data RAM, 1836-byte OTP program memory, auto-reload timer, digital watchdog, and safe reset circuitry - designed for automotive sensor interfaces and industrial control panels operating from 3.0–6.0 V at -40 to +125°C.
For engineers reviewing the ST62T52CB6 datasheet, ST62T52CB6 pinout, ST62T52CB6 application, or ST62T52CB6 equivalent, this device supports direct LED/TRIAC drive (5 I/O lines sinking 30 mA), programmable power-saving modes (Run/Wait/Stop), and on-chip oscillator support for quartz/ceramic/RC timing sources.
Technical Context
The ST62T52CB6 implements a single-cycle 8-bit CPU core with six-level hardware stack, supporting immediate, direct, indirect, and indexed addressing modes. Its memory architecture separates 12-bit program space (OTP), 8-bit data space (RAM + windowed ROM access), and dedicated peripheral register map.
Peripherals include two independent 8-bit timers: one general-purpose counter with 7-bit prescaler, and one auto-reload timer (ARTimer) with dedicated input (PB6/ARTIMin) and output (PB7/ARTIMout) pins. The A/D converter features 8-bit resolution, four selectable analog inputs (PA4–PA5, PC2–PC3), and conversion time of 100 µs typical.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ST62T62CB6 | Includes 64-byte data EEPROM; identical OTP size, pinout, and peripheral set | Requires non-volatile parameter storage (e.g., calibration data, user settings) | Select when field-updatable configuration or runtime data logging is required |
| ST62E62CDW6 | Erasable EPROM version; UV-erasable, same OTP-equivalent functionality and timing | Prototyping, iterative firmware development, or low-volume customization | Choose for lab validation or small-batch production where code changes are frequent |
Compared with ST62T52CB6, ST62T62CB6 adds EEPROM for persistent data but shares identical packaging and I/O drive strength, while ST62E62CDW6 trades OTP permanence for reprogrammability - making the former ideal for mass production and the latter for engineering validation.

FAQ
Is ST62T52CB6 pin-compatible with ST62T62CB6?
Yes - both devices share identical PDIP16 packaging, pin assignments, and electrical I/O characteristics. The only functional difference is the presence of 64-byte data EEPROM in ST62T62CB6; all registers, memory maps, and peripheral behavior remain consistent across reset and runtime operation.
Does ST62T52CB6 support in-circuit programming after soldering?
No - ST62T52CB6 uses One-Time Programmable (OTP) memory. Programming must occur prior to PCB assembly using ST's ST62xx-EMU2 emulator system connected via parallel port. Once programmed, firmware cannot be modified or erased in-system.
What is the maximum sink current per I/O pin on ST62T52CB6?
Five designated I/O pins (PB0, PB2–PB3, PB6–PB7) are rated for 30 mA DC sink current each, verified per datasheet Section 6.3. Other pins support ≤10 mA. This rating enables direct drive of LEDs, small relays, and TRIAC gates without external buffers.
Can the ST62T52CB6 operate without an external crystal?
Yes - its on-chip oscillator supports RC networks, ceramic resonators, or quartz crystals. An RC solution (e.g., 1–4.7 MΩ + 22 pF) provides sufficient accuracy for non-timing-critical applications like button debouncing or LED blinking, reducing component count and cost.
