Product details
Overview
ST7FLIT15BF1M3 from STMicroelectronics is an 8-bit Flash microcontroller featuring 4 KB XFlash program memory, 256 bytes RAM, 128 bytes data EEPROM with 300K write/erase cycles, 10-bit ADC with integrated op-amp, dual 12-bit auto-reload timers (4 PWM outputs), SPI interface, and analog comparator - deployed in industrial sensor nodes and low-power motor control systems.
For engineers reviewing the ST7FLIT15BF1M3 datasheet, ST7FLIT15BF1M3 pinout, ST7FLIT15BF1M3 application, or ST7FLIT15BF1M3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.7–5.5 V operating range, 8 MHz max CPU frequency (with PLL x4/x8), 17 I/O lines including 7 high-sink (20 mA) outputs, and support for five power-saving modes including Halt and Auto Wake-up from Halt.
Technical Context
The ST7FLIT15BF1M3 implements an enhanced ST7 8-bit core with 63 instructions, true bit manipulation, and 17 addressing modes. Its clock system integrates a factory-trimmed 1% internal RC oscillator, optional PLL (x4/x8), and external crystal/ceramic resonator support up to 16 MHz.
Peripheral architecture includes two independent 12-bit auto-reload timers (AT4 and AT2) with input capture, output compare, and pulse generation; one Lite Timer with watchdog capability; and a 10-bit ADC with programmable gain op-amp and 7 analog input channels - all accessible via dedicated I/O pins with configurable pull-up, interrupt, and analog modes.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ST7FLITE29F2M3 | 8 KB Flash, 384 bytes RAM, adds UART, higher pin count (28-pin), no QFN option | Supports serial protocol stacks (e.g., Modbus ASCII); requires PCB redesign for larger footprint | Select when UART is required and board space allows SO28/DIP28 |
| STM8S003F3P6 | 16 MHz max CPU, 8 KB Flash, 1 KB RAM, enhanced ADC (10-bit, 10 ch), no analog comparator or op-amp | Better performance for compute-intensive tasks; lacks integrated signal conditioning for analog front-end | Select for higher throughput where external op-amp/comparator acceptable |
Compared with ST7FLIT15BF1M3, the ST7FLITE29F2M3 extends memory and adds UART but increases package size, while the STM8S003F3P6 delivers higher clock speed and RAM at the cost of analog subsystem integration - making ST7FLIT15BF1M3 optimal for cost-sensitive, analog-rich, ultra-low-power embedded control.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the ST7FLIT15BF1M3?
The ST7FLIT15BF1M3 achieves up to 8 MHz CPU frequency: either from an external 16 MHz crystal with internal /2 divider, or from its internal 1 MHz RC oscillator multiplied by PLL (x4 or x8). The 32 MHz internal clock feeds only the auto-reload timer's prescaler and does not drive the CPU core.
Does the ST7FLIT15BF1M3 support in-application programming (IAP)?
Yes - the ST7FLIT15BF1M3 supports full In-Application Programming of its 4 KB XFlash memory. Firmware can reprogram designated Flash sectors while executing from other regions, enabling field-upgradable features and bootloader implementations without halting system operation.
How many analog input channels does the integrated ADC support?
The ST7FLIT15BF1M3 ADC supports 7 analog input channels (AIN0–AIN6), mapped to PB0–PB6 pins. All channels share the same 10-bit conversion engine with dual-range operation: 13-bit effective resolution for low-voltage signals (0–430 mV) and 10-bit for full-scale (430 mV–5 V) at 5 V VDD.
Can the ST7FLIT15BF1M3 operate reliably at 2.7 V supply?
Yes - the ST7FLIT15BF1M3 is fully specified from 2.7 V to 5.5 V across its entire −40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range. Its enhanced low-voltage supervisor (LVD) ensures deterministic reset behavior down to 2.5 V, and all peripherals (ADC, timers, SPI) retain full functionality at 2.7 V.
