STMicroelectronics STM32F417VGT6

Overview

STM32F417VGT6 from STMicroelectronics is a 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M4 microcontroller with FPU, operating at up to 168 MHz (210 DMIPS), featuring 1 MB Flash, 192+4 KB SRAM (including 64 KB CCM), dual CAN 2.0B interfaces, 10/100 Ethernet MAC with IEEE 1588v2 hardware support, and USB OTG HS/FS controllers - deployed in industrial gateways requiring real-time protocol bridging and secure connectivity.

For engineers reviewing the STM32F417VGT6 datasheet, STM32F417VGT6 pinout, STM32F417VGT6 application, or STM32F417VGT6 equivalent, key selection criteria include Ethernet MAC timing compliance, dual-CAN bus arbitration latency, ART Accelerator-enabled zero-wait-state Flash execution, and cryptographic acceleration for AES-128/256 and SHA-1 in firmware update pipelines.

Technical Context

The STM32F417VGT6 integrates a Cortex-M4 core with FPU and Adaptive Real-Time (ART) Accelerator enabling deterministic 0-wait-state execution from Flash at 168 MHz. Its memory subsystem includes 1 MB Flash, 192 KB main SRAM, 4 KB backup SRAM, and 64 KB CCM RAM tightly coupled to the CPU for low-latency data access.

Peripheral architecture features dual independent CAN 2.0B controllers, a full-featured 10/100 Ethernet MAC with dedicated DMA and MII/RMII PHY interface, USB OTG HS (with ULPI and on-chip FS PHY) and FS controllers, and an 8–14-bit parallel camera interface supporting up to 54 MB/s - all synchronized via multi-AHB bus matrix and nested vectored interrupt controller (NVIC).

FAQ

What is the maximum operating temperature range for STM32F417VGT6?

The STM32F417VGT6 is qualified for industrial temperature range: –40 °C to +85 °C ambient. Electrical characteristics including Flash programming voltage, ADC accuracy, and Ethernet MAC timing are guaranteed across this range per DS8597 Rev 9 Section 5.3.1. Thermal derating is not required below 85 °C ambient when PCB copper area meets recommended layout guidelines.

Does STM32F417VGT6 support USB HS device mode without an external ULPI transceiver?

No. USB OTG HS operation requires an external ULPI PHY connected to the dedicated ULPI interface (pins PH4–PH13). The chip integrates only an on-chip full-speed PHY for USB FS; HS functionality is strictly PHY-offload via ULPI - confirmed in Section 2.2.31 and Table 7 of DS8597 Rev 9.

How many independent CAN message filters does STM32F417VGT6 support?

The STM32F417VGT6 implements two bxCAN peripherals (CAN1 and CAN2), each with 14 filter banks. Each bank can be configured as one 32-bit identifier mask or two 16-bit identifier masks, allowing up to 28 distinct standard/extended ID filters total - documented in Section 2.2.29 and RM0090 Reference Manual Section 30.7.3.

Is the 64 KB CCM RAM accessible by DMA controllers?

No. The 64 KB CCM (Core Coupled Memory) RAM is accessible exclusively by the Cortex-M4 CPU - it is not mapped into the AHB bus matrix and therefore cannot be read or written by any DMA channel. This restriction is explicitly stated in Section 2.2.6 of DS8597 Rev 9 and ensures deterministic ISR latency for time-critical code execution.
