Product details
Overview
STM32F401CEY6BTR from STMicroelectronics is a 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M4 microcontroller with FPU, delivering 105 DMIPS at 84 MHz, featuring 256 KB Flash, 64 KB SRAM, and integrated peripherals including USB OTG FS, SDIO, three I2C, three USART, four SPI, and a 12-bit 2.4 MSPS ADC. It targets compact, power-sensitive embedded control applications such as smart sensors and portable HMI.
For engineers reviewing the STM32F401CEY6BTR datasheet, STM32F401CEY6BTR pinout, STM32F401CEY6BTR application, or STM32F401CEY6BTR equivalent, key selection criteria include its WLCSP49 package footprint, 1.7–3.6 V supply range, -40 °C to 85 °C industrial temperature grade, and ART Accelerator™ enabling zero-wait-state Flash execution.
Technical Context
The device integrates an Adaptive Real-time Accelerator (ART Accelerator™) that eliminates Flash wait states by caching instructions and data, enabling deterministic 84 MHz operation directly from internal Flash memory. Its memory protection unit (MPU) supports secure task isolation in RTOS environments.
It implements a multi-AHB bus matrix for concurrent access to Flash, SRAM, and peripherals, and includes a 16-stream DMA controller with FIFOs and burst support-critical for high-throughput data movement between ADC, SPI, and memory without CPU intervention.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CPU Core | Arm Cortex-M4 with FPU, 105 DMIPS @ 84 MHz - enables real-time DSP and floating-point math for sensor fusion or motor control. |
| Flash / RAM | 256 KB Flash + 64 KB SRAM - sufficient for complex firmware with bootloader, stack, and real-time buffers. |
| ADC | 1×12-bit, 2.4 MSPS, up to 16 channels - supports high-speed analog monitoring in industrial I/O modules. |
| USB Interface | USB 2.0 full-speed OTG with on-chip PHY - allows direct host/device connectivity without external transceiver. |

Pinout & Package
STM32F401CEY6BTR uses a 49-ball WLCSP (2.965 × 2.965 mm, 0.4 mm pitch) package optimized for space-constrained PCBs. Ball mapping follows JEDEC MO-220 standards with dedicated VCAP, VDDA/VSSA, NRST, BOOT0, and multiple I/O banks supporting 5 V-tolerant operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD, VDDA | Core & Analog Supply | Separate 1.7–3.6 V inputs; VDDA must be ≥ VDD for ADC accuracy and noise immunity. |

| NRST | Active-Low Reset Input | Asynchronous reset with Schmitt trigger; supports external pull-up and debounced push-button recovery. |
| BOOT0 | Boot Mode Selection | High at power-up forces system memory boot (for DFU); low enables user Flash boot. |
| PA0–PA15, PB0–PB15, etc. | General-Purpose I/O | Up to 81 pins; all 5 V tolerant, configurable as AF functions (SPI/I2C/USART), interrupts, or timers. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STM32F401CCU6 | Same core/peripherals, but in UFQFPN48 (7×7 mm) package with exposed thermal pad - higher thermal dissipation margin. | Better suited for sustained 84 MHz operation under 70 °C ambient; requires rework for thermal vias. | Select when board layout allows larger footprint and thermal management is critical. |
| STM32F411CEU6 | Higher Flash (512 KB), same RAM, adds 2× additional SPI and 1× extra I2C; no SDIO; 100 DMIPS @ 100 MHz. | Enables more complex protocol stacks (e.g., Modbus TCP + local logging); lacks SD card support for field firmware updates. | Choose when firmware size exceeds 256 KB or dual SPI peripherals are needed for display + sensor interface. |
Compared with STM32F401CEY6BTR, STM32F401CCU6 offers identical functionality in a thermally enhanced package, while STM32F411CEU6 trades SDIO for expanded peripheral count and doubled Flash-making it suitable for feature-rich, non-removable-storage applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and how is it achieved?
The STM32F401CEY6BTR achieves 84 MHz maximum CPU frequency using its internal PLL driven by the 16 MHz factory-trimmed HSI or an external 4–26 MHz crystal. The ART Accelerator™ eliminates Flash wait states, allowing deterministic zero-wait-state execution at full speed - confirmed in DS9716 Rev 11 Section 3.2.
Does this MCU support hardware encryption or secure boot?
No, the STM32F401CEY6BTR does not include hardware cryptographic accelerators (AES, SHA, PKA) or secure boot ROM. It relies on software-based security libraries and external secure elements for authentication or encrypted firmware updates - as documented in Section 2.1 and Table 2 of DS9716.
Can the 12-bit ADC operate at full 2.4 MSPS with all 16 channels enabled?
No. The 2.4 MSPS rate applies to single-channel sampling. With 16 channels scanned via sequencer, effective throughput drops due to acquisition time and conversion overhead; typical multi-channel rate is ~1.2 MSPS total - specified in Section 6.3.20 and Table 66 of the datasheet.
Is the WLCSP49 package RoHS and REACH compliant?
Yes, STM32F401CEY6BTR meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006. All packages in the STM32F401xB/C series are ECOPACK2 certified - verified in Table 1 and Section 7 of DS9716 Rev 11.
