Product details
Overview
STM32G473RBT6 from STMicroelectronics is a 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M4 microcontroller with FPU, 512 KB Flash (ECC-enabled), 128 KB SRAM (96 KB + 32 KB CCM), and 170 MHz max CPU frequency. It integrates dual-bank read-while-write Flash, CORDIC/FMAC math accelerators, seven 12-bit DAC channels (3 buffered at 1 MSPS), and three FDCAN controllers - deployed in industrial motor control and digital power conversion systems.
For engineers reviewing the STM32G473RBT6 datasheet, STM32G473RBT6 pinout, STM32G473RBT6 application, or STM32G473RBT6 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 48-pin LQFP package, 5 V-tolerant GPIOs, hardware parity on first 32 KB SRAM, 14-timer suite with advanced motor control timers (TIM1/TIM8/TIM20), and UCPD support for USB Type-C™ power delivery implementations.
Technical Context
The STM32G473RBT6 implements an Arm Cortex-M4 core with FPU and Adaptive Real-time Accelerator (ART) enabling zero-wait-state execution from Flash at 170 MHz. Its interconnect matrix supports concurrent access to Flash, SRAM, and peripherals via multiple AHB/APB buses.
It features a dedicated analog subsystem: five 12-bit ADCs (up to 42 channels, 0.25 µs conversion), seven rail-to-rail comparators, six operational amplifiers (all pins accessible, PGA mode supported), and an internal voltage reference buffer (VREFBUF) with selectable 2.048 V / 2.5 V / 2.9 V outputs - all optimized for real-time sensor signal conditioning and closed-loop control.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-performance mixed-signal microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STM32G431KBU6 | Same G4 series, but 128 KB Flash, no CORDIC/FMAC, 32 KB SRAM, LQFP32 package. | Suitable for cost-sensitive motor control where math acceleration is not required and I/O count is lower. | Select when BOM cost reduction is prioritized over computational headroom and analog channel density. |
| STM32H743ZIT6 | Higher-tier dual-core (Cortex-M7/M4), 2 MB Flash, 1 MB SRAM, no integrated UCPD, LQFP144 package. | Targeted at complex HMI+control fusion systems requiring Linux-capable M7 core and GPU offload. | Choose only if application demands >200 MHz deterministic processing, external SDRAM, or dual-core partitioning - not for pure motor/power control. |
Compared with STM32G431KBU6, the STM32G473RBT6 delivers 4× more Flash, hardware math acceleration, and 2.5× more ADC/DAC channels - essential for real-time multi-axis control. Versus STM32H743ZIT6, it offers superior analog integration and UCPD in a smaller footprint at lower power, avoiding over-engineering for embedded power applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for STM32G473RBT6?
The STM32G473RBT6 is qualified for industrial temperature operation from –40 °C to +85 °C. Its thermal characteristics are validated per JEDEC JESD51 standards, with θJA = 47 °C/W in LQFP48 package. Derating curves in Section 6.11 of DS12712 confirm stable operation up to 85 °C ambient under full peripheral load with adequate PCB copper pour.
Does STM32G473RBT6 support hardware encryption for secure boot?
No, the STM32G473RBT6 does not include AES, PKA, or TRNG-based secure boot hardware. It features a True Random Number Generator (RNG) and 96-bit unique ID, but lacks dedicated cryptographic accelerators or secure ROM bootloader. For secure boot, external secure element integration or software-based SHA-256 verification using CCM SRAM is required.
Can the CORDIC unit compute hyperbolic functions like sinh/cosh?
No, the CORDIC accelerator in STM32G473RBT6 supports only circular (sin/cos/atan) and linear (multiply/add) modes per RM0440 reference manual Section 17.5. Hyperbolic function computation (sinh/cosh/tanh) is not implemented in hardware and must be performed in software using Taylor series or lookup tables.
Is the UCPD peripheral compatible with USB Power Delivery Specification Revision 3.1?
Yes, the UCPD peripheral supports USB PD 3.0 specification (including Programmable Power Supply and Fast Role Swap) as documented in RM0440 Section 49 and AN5010 application note. It does not implement PD 3.1 Extended Power Range (EPR) features such as 28 V/5 A profiles, which require additional silicon-level enhancements beyond this device's capability.
