Product details
Overview
STM32F101TBU6TR from STMicroelectronics is a 32-bit ARM® Cortex®-M3 microcontroller in UFQFPN48 package, featuring 36 MHz max CPU frequency, 64 KB Flash, 10 KB SRAM, 12-bit ADC (1 µs conversion), and 7 communication interfaces including 2×I²C, 3×USART, and 2×SPI. It targets cost-sensitive industrial control and sensor node applications requiring low-power operation and integrated analog peripherals.
For engineers reviewing the STM32F101TBU6TR datasheet, STM32F101TBU6TR pinout, STM32F101TBU6TR application, or STM32F101TBU6TR equivalent, key selection factors include its 48-pin ultra-thin QFN footprint, 2.0–3.6 V supply range, 5 V-tolerant I/Os, RTC with VBAT support, and SWD/JTAG debug interface compatibility.
Technical Context
The device implements an ARM Cortex-M3 core with single-cycle multiplication, hardware division, and nested vectored interrupt controller (NVIC) supporting up to 64 interrupts. Its clock system integrates dual oscillators (4–16 MHz HSE + 32.768 kHz LSE), programmable PLL, and factory-trimmed 8 MHz HSI RC source for flexible timing configuration.
DMA supports 7 channels with peripheral arbitration for timers, ADC, SPI, I²C, and USART transfers-enabling zero-CPU-overhead data movement. The 12-bit ADC includes temperature sensor input and operates across full 0–3.6 V range with 1 µs conversion time at 14 MHz sampling clock.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and corresponding power supply range?
The STM32F101TBU6TR operates at up to 36 MHz with a supply voltage range of 2.0 V to 3.6 V. At 36 MHz, the device requires ≥2.7 V per electrical characteristics (Section 5.3.1); below that, maximum frequency scales linearly down to 24 MHz at 2.0 V. All I/Os remain 5 V-tolerant across this full voltage range.
Does this MCU support USB or CAN interfaces?
No, the STM32F101TBU6TR does not include USB or CAN peripherals. It provides 2×I²C, 3×USART, and 2×SPI for wired communication. For CAN support, ST recommends the pin-compatible STM32F103TBU6 variant, which adds a CAN 2.0B controller while maintaining identical UFQFPN48 packaging and core architecture.
How many ADC channels are available and what is their input voltage range?
The device integrates one 12-bit ADC with up to 16 external input channels plus internal temperature sensor and VREFINT. The ADC input voltage range is 0 to VDDA (up to 3.6 V), with dedicated VDDA and VSSA pins ensuring analog supply stability. Conversion time is fixed at 1 µs for all resolutions under standard conditions.
What debug interfaces are supported and what are the physical pin requirements?
STM32F101TBU6TR supports Serial Wire Debug (SWD) and JTAG via dedicated pins: SWDIO (PA13), SWCLK (PA14), and optional NRST. SWD requires only two signal pins plus ground-reducing debug header footprint versus full JTAG. No external pull-ups are needed; internal debug circuitry is enabled automatically upon connection to a compatible debugger (e.g., ST-LINK/V2).
