Product details
Overview
STM32C031K4U7TR from STMicroelectronics is a 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M0+ microcontroller in UFQFPN32 (5 × 5 mm) package, featuring 32 KB flash, 12 KB SRAM with hardware parity, 48 MHz max CPU frequency, and integrated peripherals including two USARTs, one I²C, one SPI, 12-bit ADC (19-channel), eight timers, and RTC. It targets cost-sensitive industrial control and smart sensor nodes requiring robust low-power operation across -40°C to 125°C.
For engineers reviewing the STM32C031K4U7TR datasheet, STM32C031K4U7TR pinout, STM32C031K4U7TR application, or STM32C031K4U7TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 5 V-tolerant GPIOs, ±1 % internal 48 MHz RC oscillator, programmable brownout reset, SWD debug interface, and support for Stop/Standby/Shutdown low-power modes with sub-μA retention current.
Technical Context
The STM32C031K4U7TR implements an Arm Cortex-M0+ core with MPU, executing instructions at up to 48 MHz from flash or SRAM. Its memory subsystem includes 32 KB of flash with readout protection and 12 KB of SRAM with hardware parity checking-enabling reliable code execution and data integrity in safety-aware applications.
Clock architecture integrates four independent sources: 4–48 MHz HSE crystal oscillator, 32 kHz LSE with calibration, 48 MHz HSI48 (±1 %), and 32 kHz LSI (±5 %), enabling flexible timing configurations for real-time control, communication synchronization, and low-power wake-up events without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CPU Core | Arm Cortex-M0+, 48 MHz max - enables deterministic real-time response for motor control and protocol stacks. |
| Flash / SRAM | 32 KB flash with protection / 12 KB SRAM with hardware parity - supports secure firmware updates and fault-tolerant data buffering. |
| ADC | 12-bit, 0.4 µs conversion time, up to 19 external channels - delivers high-resolution analog sensing for temperature, voltage, and current monitoring. |
| Timers | Eight timers: one advanced-control (TIM1), four general-purpose (TIM3/14/16/17), two watchdogs (IWDG/WWDG), SysTick - provides PWM generation, input capture, and system-level reliability. |
| Communication | Two USARTs (one with ISO7816/LIN/IrDA), one I²C (Fast-mode Plus, 1 Mbit/s), one SPI (24 Mbit/s) - supports multi-protocol connectivity in constrained embedded systems. |

Pinout & Package
STM32C031K4U7TR is housed in a 32-pin UFQFPN (5 × 5 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) package with exposed thermal pad. This compact, lead-free, ECOPACK2-compliant package supports high-density PCB layouts and efficient thermal dissipation in space-constrained applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD, VSS | Power supply / Ground | Dual VDD pins (VDDA/VDD) enable analog/digital domain separation; VSS pins provide low-impedance return paths for noise-sensitive circuits. |
| PA0–PA15, PB0–PB15, PF0–PF1 | General-purpose I/O | All 30 GPIOs are 5 V-tolerant and mappable to external interrupt vectors - simplifies level-shifting and enhances interoperability with legacy 5 V logic. |
| NRST | Reset input | Active-low, Schmitt-triggered reset pin with programmable BOR threshold - ensures reliable startup and brownout recovery without external supervisor IC. |
| SYSCLK, SWDIO, SWCLK | Debug & clock interface | Serial Wire Debug (SWD) pins enable non-intrusive programming and real-time tracing; SYSCLK output allows clock verification on test equipment. |
| PA9/PA10 (USART1) | Asynchronous serial interface | Default USART1 TX/RX pins supporting auto baud rate detection and wake-up from Stop mode - ideal for battery-powered remote telemetry. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-power modes | Stop mode current ≤ 0.35 µA (typ.), Standby ≤ 0.25 µA (typ.) - extends battery life in wireless sensor nodes beyond 10 years. |
| CRC calculation unit | Hardware-accelerated CRC-32 generator - offloads checksum computation from CPU during firmware OTA updates or data logging. |
| Internal oscillators | HSI48 (±1 %) and LSI (±5 %) eliminate need for external crystals in cost-sensitive designs while maintaining UART timing accuracy. |
| Memory protection | MPU enforces privilege levels and region-based access control - prevents accidental or malicious corruption of critical code/data sections. |
| Temperature sensor | Integrated calibrated sensor with ±2°C accuracy (0–125°C) - enables self-monitoring for thermal derating or ambient condition awareness. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STM32C011F4U6TR | 24 KB flash, 8 KB SRAM, no RTC, TSSOP20 (20-pin) package | Lacks calendar RTC and has fewer GPIOs - suitable only for ultra-low-pin-count, non-time-critical sensing. | Select when board space and BOM cost are primary constraints and real-time timestamping is unnecessary. |
| STM32G031F8P6 | 64 KB flash, 12 KB SRAM, USB 2.0 FS, higher peripheral count, LQFP32 | Includes USB and more timers but lacks 125°C rating and has larger footprint - better for host-connected devices. | Choose when USB device functionality or future firmware scalability outweighs extended temperature and compactness needs. |
Compared with STM32C011F4U6TR, the STM32C031K4U7TR adds RTC, higher memory, and extended temperature range; versus STM32G031F8P6, it trades USB for smaller size, lower cost, and guaranteed 125°C operation - making it optimal for thermally demanding, space-constrained industrial nodes.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for STM32C031K4U7TR?
The STM32C031K4U7TR is rated for operation from -40°C to +125°C ambient temperature, validated per DS13867 Rev 4 Section 5.3.1. This extended range supports deployment in engine compartments, industrial enclosures, and outdoor metering housings without thermal derating.
Does STM32C031K4U7TR support USB connectivity?
No, the STM32C031K4U7TR does not integrate a USB peripheral. It provides USART, I²C, and SPI interfaces only. For USB device capability, ST recommends the STM32G031 or STM32F07x families, which include USB 2.0 Full-Speed controllers.
Can the internal 48 MHz RC oscillator be used for USART communication?
Yes, the HSI48 oscillator (±1 % accuracy) meets the ±2 % tolerance required for 115.2 kbps UART communication without external crystal, as confirmed in DS13867 Rev 4 Table 64 and Section 3.18. Auto baud rate detection further improves robustness in variable-load environments.
What debug interface does STM32C031K4U7TR use?
The device uses Serial Wire Debug (SWD) with two dedicated pins: SWDIO and SWCLK. It does not support JTAG. SWD enables full programming, debugging, and real-time tracing via standard ST-LINK/V2-1 or compatible debug probes, as specified in Section 3.20.1 of the datasheet.
