Product details
Overview
ST7FLI15BF1U6 from STMicroelectronics is an 8-bit Flash microcontroller with 4 KB XFlash program memory, 256 bytes RAM, and 128 bytes data EEPROM. It integrates a 10-bit ADC with op-amp, dual 12-bit auto-reload timers (4 PWM outputs), SPI interface, analog comparator, and enhanced reset/LVD/AVD supply management. Used in low-power industrial sensor nodes requiring precise timing, analog sensing, and robust I/O control.
For engineers reviewing the ST7FLI15BF1U6 datasheet, ST7FLI15BF1U6 pinout, ST7FLI15BF1U6 application, or ST7FLI15BF1U6 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20-pin SO package, 2.7–5.5 V operation, 8 MHz max CPU frequency (with PLL x4/x8), 7-channel ADC with programmable gain, and 7 high-sink (20 mA) I/O pins for direct LED or relay drive.
Technical Context
The ST7FLI15BF1U6 implements an industry-standard 8-bit ST7 core with 63 instructions, 17 addressing modes, and hardware 8×8 unsigned multiply. Its memory subsystem includes byte-erasable XFlash with ICP/IAP support, 20-year data retention at 55°C, and protected EEPROM with 300K write/erase cycles.
Peripherals are tightly coupled to the core via dedicated registers: dual auto-reload timers feed four independent PWM outputs and input capture; the ADC supports dual-range conversion (13-bit for 0–430 mV, 10-bit for 430 mV–5 V at 5 VDD); and the analog comparator features interrupt-capable external reference input (COMPIN−) and output (COMPOUT).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Core Architecture | 8-bit ST7 CPU with 63 instructions, 17 addressing modes, and 8×8 unsigned multiply - enables compact, deterministic firmware for real-time control. |
| Flash Memory | 4 KB single-voltage XFlash with ICP/IAP, 10K write/erase cycles, 20-year data retention at 55°C - supports field firmware updates without external programmers. |
| ADC Resolution | 10-bit precision for 430 mV–5 V range; 13-bit for 0–430 mV range (at 5 VDD) - delivers high-resolution analog sensing across wide input spans without external signal conditioning. |
| Timers | Dual 12-bit auto-reload timers generating 4 PWM outputs, 1 input capture, and pulse functions - suitable for motor control, LED dimming, and time-critical event triggering. |
| I/O Capability | 17 multifunctional bidirectional I/O lines, including 7 high-sink (20 mA) outputs - drives LEDs, small relays, or logic-level MOSFETs directly without buffer stages. |

| Clock Sources | Internal 1% RC oscillator (1 MHz), crystal/resonator, external clock, or PLL (x4/x8 for 4/8 MHz) - eliminates need for external crystal in cost-sensitive designs while maintaining timing accuracy. |
Pinout & Package
ST7FLI15BF1U6 is housed in a 20-pin Small Outline (SO20 300") package with 0.65 mm pitch, RoHS-compliant, and rated for −40°C to +85°C operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD (Pin 2) | Main power supply | Primary 2.7–5.5 V supply rail; must be decoupled locally to ensure stable core and peripheral operation. |
| VSS (Pin 1) | Ground reference | Digital ground return path; requires low-impedance connection to system GND plane. |
| RESET (Pin 3) | Active-low reset input | Asynchronous non-maskable reset; internal pull-up ensures safe startup; external RC network sets reset duration. |
| PA0/LTIC (Pin 16) | Lite Timer input capture | Captures edge timestamps for pulse-width or period measurement; configured as high-sink I/O by default. |
| PA2–PA5/ATPWM0–ATPWM3 (Pins 14–13, 11–12) | Auto-reload timer PWM outputs | Four independent PWM channels with configurable duty cycle and frequency - used for motor speed control or LED brightness regulation. |
| PB0–PB6/AIN0–AIN6 (Pins 4–10) | Analog input / SPI / comparator I/O | Seven ADC channels shared with SPI signals (MOSI/MISO/SCK/SS) and comparator inputs - enables mixed-signal functionality in minimal pin count. |
| PC0/OSC1 & PC1/OSC2 (Pins 15 & 17) | Crystal/resonator interface | Connects to external 32 kHz–16 MHz crystal or ceramic resonator; internal oscillator circuitry eliminates external capacitors in basic configurations. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| In-Circuit Programming (ICP) | Enables firmware updates via ICC interface without removing MCU from PCB - reduces production test time and supports post-deployment patches. |
| Auto Wake-up from Halt Mode | Allows ultra-low-power sleep (µA range) with wake-up triggered by external interrupt or timer event - extends battery life in portable sensor applications. |
| Programmable Internal Voltage Reference | Provides stable reference for ADC and comparator without external components - improves measurement repeatability across temperature and supply variations. |
| High-Sink I/O (20 mA) | Seven pins deliver 20 mA sink current directly - eliminates discrete driver transistors for indicators, buzzers, or small solenoids. |
| Debug Module (DM) | On-chip hardware debug support for In-Circuit Debugging (ICD) - enables real-time register inspection, breakpoint setting, and step-through execution during development. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the ST7FLI15BF1U6?
The ST7FLI15BF1U6 achieves up to 8 MHz CPU frequency using its internal PLL (x4 or x8 multiplier) with a 1 MHz RC oscillator or external 16 MHz clock source. At 5 V, it sustains this speed across the full −40°C to +85°C temperature range, with timing validated per Section 13.5 of the datasheet.
Does the ST7FLI15BF1U6 support in-application programming (IAP)?
Yes - the ST7FLI15BF1U6 supports full In-Application Programming of its 4 KB XFlash memory. Firmware can reprogram designated Flash sectors while executing from other regions, enabling dynamic parameter storage, bootloader updates, and field firmware upgrades without halting system operation.
How many ADC input channels does the ST7FLI15BF1U6 have, and what are their voltage ranges?
The ST7FLI15BF1U6 provides 7 ADC input channels (AIN0–AIN6). It delivers 13-bit effective resolution for inputs from 0 to 430 mV and 10-bit resolution for 430 mV to 5 V, both referenced to VDD at 5 V. This dual-range architecture eliminates external amplifiers for low-level sensor signals like thermocouples or bridge sensors.
Can the ST7FLI15BF1U6 operate from a single 3.3 V supply?
Yes - the ST7FLI15BF1U6 operates across 2.7 V to 5.5 V, fully supporting 3.3 V nominal systems. Its internal LVD monitors VDD down to 2.5 V (typical), and all I/Os are 5 V-tolerant when configured as inputs, enabling seamless interfacing with mixed-voltage peripherals without level shifters.
