Product details
Overview
STM32F051C8U7TR from STMicroelectronics is a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M0 microcontroller with 64 KB Flash, 8 KB SRAM, 48 MHz max CPU frequency, 12-bit ADC and DAC, and integrated capacitive touch sensing-designed for cost-sensitive industrial control and smart sensor nodes operating from 2.0–3.6 V.
For engineers reviewing the STM32F051C8U7TR datasheet, STM32F051C8U7TR pinout, STM32F051C8U7TR application, or STM32F051C8U7TR equivalent, key selection criteria include 55 fast I/Os (36 5V-tolerant), dual USARTs with LIN/IrDA support, two I²C interfaces (one Fast Mode Plus), and hardware CRC for firmware integrity in resource-constrained embedded systems.
Technical Context
This MCU integrates an ARM Cortex-M0 core with tightly coupled peripherals including a 16-bit advanced-control timer (TIM1) supporting 6-channel PWM with deadtime generation and emergency stop-critical for motor control. It features dual clock domains: high-speed (HSE/HSI+PLL up to 48 MHz) and low-power (LSE/LSI for RTC and watchdogs).
The analog subsystem includes one 12-bit, 1.0 µs ADC (16-channel, 0–3.6 V range), one 12-bit DAC channel, two programmable analog comparators, and up to 18 capacitive sensing channels-enabling direct integration of touch interfaces without external controllers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CPU Core | ARM Cortex-M0, 48 MHz max - enables real-time deterministic execution for control loops and protocol stacks. |
| Flash / SRAM | 64 KB Flash, 8 KB SRAM with HW parity - supports medium-complexity firmware with runtime data integrity checking. |
| ADC | 12-bit, 1.0 µs conversion, 16-channel - delivers 1 MSPS sampling for sensor signal acquisition with <1 LSB INL. |
| DAC | 12-bit single-channel - provides precise analog output for calibration, biasing, or waveform generation. |
| I/O Count | Up to 55 GPIOs, 36 5V-tolerant - simplifies interface to legacy 5V logic and industrial sensors without level shifters. |
| Timers | 11 timers including TIM1 (advanced-control), TIM2/TIM3 (general-purpose), TIM6 (DAC trigger) - supports motor control, IR decoding, and periodic wakeup from low-power modes. |

Pinout & Package
STM32F051C8U7TR uses the UFQFPN48 (7 × 7 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) package with exposed thermal pad. Pin functions are defined per STM32F051x8 datasheet Section 4 (Pinouts and pin descriptions), validated for this variant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD, VSS | Digital power supply / ground | Core and I/O domain at 2.0–3.6 V; requires local decoupling near pins 1/2/47/48. |
| VDDA, VSSA | Analog power supply / ground | Separate 2.4–3.6 V analog rail for ADC/DAC/comp; must be filtered independently. |
| PA0–PA15, PB0–PB15, PC13–PC15 | General-purpose I/O | 55 total GPIOs; PA0–PA15 and PB0–PB15 support external interrupts and remappable alternate functions. |
| NRST | Active-low reset input | Asynchronous reset with internal pull-up; accepts 1.65–5.5 V logic; supports external reset button or supervisor IC. |
| BOOT0 | Boot mode selection | High at power-on selects system memory bootloader; tied low via 10 kΩ resistor for normal Flash execution. |
| SWDIO / SWCLK | Serial Wire Debug interface | 2-pin debug port for programming and real-time trace; no JTAG required, minimizing PCB footprint. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hardware CRC unit | Accelerates firmware image validation and communication checksums without CPU overhead. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and supply voltage range for STM32F051C8U7TR?
The STM32F051C8U7TR operates at up to 48 MHz using its internal PLL driven by the 8 MHz HSI oscillator or an external 4–32 MHz crystal. Its digital I/O and core supply (VDD) range is 2.0–3.6 V, while the analog supply (VDDA) must be between 2.4 V and 3.6 V and may be tied to VDD if noise is controlled.
Does STM32F051C8U7TR support hardware debugging, and which interface is used?
Yes, it supports Serial Wire Debug (SWD) via dedicated SWDIO and SWCLK pins-requiring only two signals for full programming, breakpoint, and real-time variable inspection. No JTAG header is needed, reducing PCB routing complexity and enabling compact debug probe integration.
How many capacitive touch channels does STM32F051C8U7TR support, and what GPIOs are assigned?
It supports up to 18 capacitive sensing channels using the integrated Touch Sensing Controller (TSC). Valid GPIOs include PA0–PA7, PA10–PA15, PB0–PB1, PB10–PB12, and PC6–PC7-detailed in Table 5 of the datasheet (DocID022265 Rev 7). Channel count depends on selected GPIO configuration and scan mode.
What are the low-power mode current consumption figures for STM32F051C8U7TR?
In Stop mode with RTC active and VDD=3.3 V, typical current is 1.8 µA; in Standby mode with RTC and backup registers powered by VBAT, it drops to 1.3 µA. These values assume all clocks disabled, regulators in low-power state, and no GPIO leakage-verified per Section 6.3.7 of the datasheet under specified conditions.
