Product details
Overview
STM32C031C6U6 from STMicroelectronics is a 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M0+ microcontroller in UFQFPN48 package, operating up to 48 MHz with 32 KB flash and 12 KB SRAM. It integrates dual USARTs (one with LIN/ISO7816), 12-bit ADC (19 channels), eight timers including advanced motor control timer TIM1, and I²C Fast-mode Plus (1 Mbit/s). It targets cost-sensitive industrial control and smart sensor nodes requiring robust low-power operation down to Shutdown mode.
For engineers reviewing the STM32C031C6U6 datasheet, STM32C031C6U6 pinout, STM32C031C6U6 application, or STM32C031C6U6 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 48 MHz Cortex-M0+ core with MPU, 5 V-tolerant GPIOs, integrated CRC unit, hardware parity on SRAM, and support for multiple low-power modes (Stop/Standby/Shutdown) with sub-µA retention current.
Technical Context
The STM32C031C6U6 implements an Arm Cortex-M0+ core with Memory Protection Unit (MPU) for deterministic real-time execution and memory isolation. Its clock system combines four oscillators: 4–48 MHz HSE, 32 kHz LSE with calibration, 48 MHz HSI48 (±1 %), and 32 kHz LSI (±5 %), enabling precise timing across operating modes.
Peripheral interconnect uses a multi-layer AHB/APB bus matrix supporting concurrent DMA transfers and flexible peripheral routing. The 12-bit ADC achieves 0.4 µs conversion time over 0–3.6 V range and includes internal temperature sensor and VREFINT for self-calibration-critical for embedded sensing applications without external references.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Core | Arm Cortex-M0+, 48 MHz max - enables real-time deterministic control with low interrupt latency. |
| Flash / SRAM | 32 KB flash with readout protection; 12 KB SRAM with hardware parity - ensures code integrity and runtime data reliability. |
| ADC | 12-bit, 0.4 µs conversion, 19 external channels - supports high-speed analog monitoring in motor control or sensor fusion. |
| Timers | Eight timers: one 16-bit advanced-control (TIM1), four general-purpose (TIM3/14/16/17), two watchdogs - provides PWM generation, capture/compare, and fail-safe supervision. |
| I/O Voltage | 5 V-tolerant on all fast I/Os - simplifies interface with legacy 5 V peripherals without level shifters. |
| Low-Power Modes | Stop (0.35 µA), Standby (0.25 µA), Shutdown (0.15 µA) - extends battery life in always-on edge devices. |
| Communication | Two USARTs (one ISO7816/LIN/IrDA), one I²C Fast-mode Plus (1 Mbit/s), one SPI (24 Mbit/s) - meets industrial serial protocol requirements. |
Pinout & Package
STM32C031C6U6 is housed in a 7 mm × 7 mm UFQFPN48 package (pitch 0.5 mm), compliant with ECOPACK2 environmental standards and suitable for compact PCB layouts with high I/O density.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD, VSS | Power supply and ground | Primary 2.0–3.6 V domain; decoupling required per datasheet layout guidelines for noise immunity. |
| PA0–PA15, PB0–PB15, PC13–PC15, PD2 | General-purpose I/O | All 45 pins are 5 V-tolerant and mappable to external interrupts - enables direct connection to industrial sensors/actuators. |
| PA9/PA10, PA11/PA12 | USART1_TX/USART1_RX, USB_DM/USB_DP | USART1 supports LIN auto-baud detection; USB pins are not functional on C031 - reserved for pin compatibility with higher-series MCUs. |
| PA1, PA4–PA7, PB0–PB1, PC0–PC5 | ADC input channels | Supports simultaneous sampling of up to 19 external analog signals - critical for multi-sensor condition monitoring. |
| PA8, PA15, PB3–PB4, PB10–PB11, PB13–PB15 | Alternate function (SPI/I²C/USART) | Configurable via AFIO registers; e.g., PB10/PB11 = I²C1_SCL/I²C1_SDA with Fast-mode Plus current sink. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hardware CRC unit | Accelerates firmware integrity checks and communication frame validation without CPU overhead. |
| Programmable BOR | Four voltage thresholds (2.0/2.2/2.4/2.7 V) enable adaptive brownout response for varying supply conditions. |
| Calendar RTC with alarm | Provides accurate timekeeping and wake-up events during Stop mode - essential for scheduled sensor polling. |
| DMA controller (3-channel) | Enables zero-CPU-load data movement between peripherals and memory - improves real-time responsiveness in UART/ADC streaming. |
| Temperature sensor + VREFINT | On-die sensor calibrated at factory (±1.5°C accuracy); VREFINT enables ratiometric ADC measurements independent of supply drift. |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Control | Smart Sensor Node |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STM32C011F4T6 | 16 KB flash, 6 KB SRAM, TSSOP20 (20-pin), no RTC calendar, no USB pins | Suitable for ultra-low-pin-count digital control only - lacks ADC channels and timer features needed for analog-intensive designs | Select when board space and BOM cost are primary constraints and analog/peripheral count is minimal. |
| STM32G031K8T6 | 64 KB flash, 8 KB SRAM, LQFP32, higher clock (64 MHz), no VREFINT, different ADC linearity spec | Better for firmware-over-the-air updates and larger control algorithms - but requires redesign for pinout and power sequencing | Choose when future scalability and enhanced crypto acceleration (AES) are required, accepting higher cost and layout change. |
Compared with STM32C011F4T6, the STM32C031C6U6 offers double flash/SRAM and full peripheral set in 48-pin format; versus STM32G031K8T6, it trades raw performance for lower static power and tighter analog integration - making it optimal for battery-constrained sensor edge nodes.

FAQ
Does STM32C031C6U6 support USB device functionality?
No. Although the UFQFPN48 pinout reserves PA11/PA12 for USB_DM/USB_DP, the STM32C031C6U6 silicon does not implement USB PHY or USB controller logic. These pins are unconnected internally and must be left floating or tied to VDD/VSS per datasheet recommendations.
What is the maximum allowed ADC input voltage?
The absolute maximum ADC input voltage is VDDA + 0.3 V, with recommended operational range of 0 to VDDA (up to 3.6 V). Exceeding VDDA risks damage or inaccurate conversions; external clamping or scaling is required for signals above VDDA.
Can the internal 48 MHz RC oscillator (HSI48) be used as system clock source?
Yes. The HSI48 oscillator (±1 % accuracy) is fully qualified as system clock source and supports all low-power modes except Shutdown. It eliminates need for external crystal in cost-sensitive designs where ±1 % timing tolerance is acceptable for UART baud rate or PWM frequency.
Is the STM32C031C6U6 qualified for automotive applications?
No. The STM32C031C6U6 is specified for industrial temperature range (-40°C to 125°C) and carries industrial-grade qualification (AEC-Q100 not applicable). For automotive use, ST recommends the pin-compatible STM32G071 or STM32A0xx series with full AEC-Q100 Grade 1/2 certification.
