Product details
Overview
ST7FL35F2MAE from STMicroelectronics is an 8-bit automotive-grade MCU featuring 8 KB single-voltage XFlash program memory, 384 bytes RAM, 256 bytes data EEPROM with readout protection, 10-bit ADC (7 channels), dual 12-bit autoreload timers with 4 PWM outputs, and integrated LINSCI™ and SPI interfaces. It operates across -40°C to 125°C and supports 5 power-saving modes including Halt and Auto Wakeup from Halt - deployed in body control modules and LIN node controllers for vehicle lighting and sensor interfacing.
For engineers reviewing the ST7FL35F2MAE datasheet, ST7FL35F2MAE pinout, ST7FL35F2MAE application, or ST7FL35F2MAE equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, automotive-grade timing and power management specs, and real-world LIN bus node implementation guidance - all grounded in ST's official Doc ID 11928 Rev 8.
Technical Context
The ST7FL35F2MAE implements a Harvard-architecture 8-bit CPU with 63 instructions, illegal opcode detection, and 17 addressing modes. Its clock system integrates a factory-trimmed 1% internal RC oscillator, optional x8 PLL (enabling 8 MHz operation), and support for crystal/resonator or external clock inputs.
Interrupt handling includes 10 vectors plus TRAP and reset, with 12 external interrupt lines mapped across 4 vectors. The LINSCI™ interface supports both master and slave LIN 2.0/2.1 communication with automatic baud rate detection and sync field processing, while the SPI operates in full-duplex master/slave mode with programmable phase/polarity.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit automotive MCU applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ST7FL35F2M3 | Same die, SO20 package but with 3.3 V-only supply (2.7–3.6 V) and reduced temp range (-40°C to 105°C) | Suitable for non-under-hood applications where 5 V tolerance and 125°C operation are not required | Select when system supply is regulated 3.3 V and extended temperature qualification is unnecessary. |
| STM8AF5269 | 32 MHz STM8 core, 32 KB Flash, enhanced LIN peripheral, higher integration (CAN, more timers), 1.8–5.5 V supply | Drop-in upgrade path offering higher performance, CAN capability, and extended peripheral set for next-gen ECU designs | Choose for new designs requiring CAN+LIN coexistence or >8 KB code space; requires toolchain migration. |
Compared with ST7FL35F2MAE, ST7FL35F2M3 trades automotive temperature grade and 5 V tolerance for lower supply voltage compliance, while STM8AF5269 delivers architectural evolution with CAN, larger memory, and higher clock speed - making it suitable for scalable platform development beyond legacy ST7 constraints.

FAQ
Is ST7FL35F2MAE still in active production?
No - ST7FL35F2MAE is marked as Obsolete in ST's official documentation (Doc ID 11928 Rev 8). STMicroelectronics discontinued the ST7L3x series in favor of the STM8AF automotive portfolio. Aetrix Electronics maintains limited legacy stock and supports last-time-buy programs with full traceability and extended warranty for qualifying industrial and automotive customers.
Does ST7FL35F2MAE require an external LIN transceiver?
No - the integrated LINSCI™ peripheral handles protocol framing, checksum calculation, and sync field detection, but an external LIN physical layer transceiver (e.g., TLE6250, MC33661) is required to drive the LIN bus line. The MCU's PA1/PA2 pins connect directly to the transceiver's TXD/RXD pins per ST's hardware design guidelines.
What debug interface does ST7FL35F2MAE support?
ST7FL35F2MAE supports ST's proprietary ICC (In-Circuit Communication) interface via dedicated pins (ICCLK, ICDAT) for programming and debugging. It is compatible with ST's STVP software and ST-LINK-compatible debug modules, but not with JTAG or SWD. Full debug functionality requires the ST7 Debug Module (DM) referenced in the datasheet.
Can the internal RC oscillator meet LIN baud rate accuracy requirements?
Yes - the factory-trimmed internal RC oscillator achieves ±1% accuracy over temperature and voltage, meeting LIN specification requirements for slave nodes (±1.5%) and supporting master-mode operation with optional PLL stabilization. For highest precision master timing, ST recommends using the external crystal option with OSCIN/OSCOUT pins.
