STMicroelectronics STM32F410C8U6TR

Overview

STM32F410C8U6TR from STMicroelectronics is a 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M4 microcontroller with FPU, 100 MHz max CPU frequency, 128 KB flash, 32 KB SRAM, and integrated 12-bit ADC (2.4 MSPS), 12-bit DAC, and low-power timer (LPTIM). It operates from 1.7–3.6 V across –40 °C to 105 °C and targets compact industrial sensor nodes requiring deterministic real-time control and analog signal conditioning.

For engineers reviewing the STM32F410C8U6TR datasheet, STM32F410C8U6TR pinout, STM32F410C8U6TR application, or STM32F410C8U6TR equivalent, key selection criteria include ART Accelerator-enabled zero-wait-state flash execution, eBAM for ultra-low-power batch acquisition, 49 5 V-tolerant I/Os, and ECOPACK2-compliant UFQFPN48 packaging for space-constrained PCB layouts.

Technical Context

This MCU integrates an Adaptive Real-Time (ART) Accelerator enabling 0-wait-state execution from flash at 100 MHz, and features enhanced Batch Acquisition Mode (eBAM) for synchronized low-power analog data capture. Its memory protection unit (MPU) supports secure task isolation in RTOS environments.

The device includes a 32-bit general-purpose timer running up to 100 MHz with quadrature encoder input, one advanced motor-control timer, and LPTIM1 operational in Stop mode-enabling precise timing during ultra-low-power operation without full wake-up.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency and how is it achieved?

The STM32F410C8U6TR achieves 100 MHz CPU frequency using its internal PLL with HSE (4–26 MHz) or HSI (16 MHz) as source. The ART Accelerator eliminates flash wait states, enabling deterministic zero-latency instruction fetch. This is validated across full voltage (1.7–3.6 V) and temperature (–40 °C to +105 °C) ranges per DS11144 Rev 8 Section 3.2.

Does this MCU support hardware encryption or secure boot?

While STM32F410C8U6TR lacks dedicated cryptographic accelerators (AES, PKA) or secure ROM, it includes a True Random Number Generator (RNG) compliant with NIST SP800-90A and a CRC calculation unit for firmware image integrity checks. Secure boot must be implemented in software using these primitives and external secure elements.

How many 5 V-tolerant I/Os does the UFQFPN48 package provide?

The STM32F410C8U6TR in UFQFPN48 offers up to 49 5 V-tolerant I/Os, confirmed in Table 2 (DS11144 Rev 8 p.12) and Section 3.26. This includes all GPIO ports except those assigned to analog functions (VREF+, VREF–) and BOOT0 - enabling direct interfacing with 5 V logic without level shifters.

Is there a migration path from STM32F410C8U6TR to a pin-compatible higher-memory variant?

No pin-compatible higher-flash variant exists in the F410 family. The STM32F410xB series (e.g., STM32F410RB) uses LQFP64 or UFBGA64 packages with different pin counts and layouts. Migration requires PCB redesign; however, code compatibility is maintained across F410x8/F410xB due to identical peripheral registers and memory map alignment.
