Product details
Overview
STM32G491CET6 from STMicroelectronics is an Arm® Cortex®-M4 32-bit microcontroller with FPU, operating up to 170 MHz (213 DMIPS), featuring 512 KB Flash with ECC, 112 KB SRAM (96 KB + 16 KB CCM), and integrated analog peripherals including three 16-bit ADCs, four 12-bit DACs, four rail-to-rail comparators, and four operational amplifiers. It supports FDCAN, USB Full-Speed, UCPD, and advanced motor control timers - deployed in industrial motor drives and precision sensor fusion systems.
For engineers reviewing the STM32G491CET6 datasheet, STM32G491CET6 pinout, STM32G491CET6 application, or STM32G491CET6 equivalent, key selection criteria include its CORDIC/FMAC math accelerators, 5 V-tolerant I/Os, dual FDCAN with flexible data rate, VREFBUF with selectable 2.048 V/2.5 V/2.9 V outputs, and LQFP48 package compatibility for space-constrained embedded control designs.
Technical Context
The STM32G491CET6 implements a tightly coupled Arm Cortex-M4 core with hardware FPU and Adaptive Real-Time (ART) Accelerator enabling zero-wait-state execution from Flash at 170 MHz. Its interconnect matrix routes 16 DMA channels across multiple AHB/APB buses, supporting concurrent high-bandwidth analog acquisition (ADC @ 0.25 µs), real-time PWM generation (TIM1/TIM8/TIM20 with dead-time and emergency stop), and deterministic communication (FDCAN FD, USB BCD/LPM).
It integrates dual-domain power management: VDD/VDDA (1.71–3.6 V) supplies feed independent analog and digital domains, while VREFBUF provides stable reference for ADC/DAC/OPAMP circuits. The device includes dedicated hardware accelerators - CORDIC for sine/cosine/arctan and FMAC for FIR/IIR filtering - offloading CPU during motor control and signal processing tasks.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and associated DMIPS rating of the STM32G491CET6?
The STM32G491CET6 operates at up to 170 MHz with an integer performance rating of 213 DMIPS (Dhrystone 2.1), measured with ART Accelerator enabled and zero-wait-state Flash execution. This rating reflects sustained throughput under real-world code density and memory access patterns typical in motor control and digital power firmware.
Does the STM32G491CET6 support USB Type-C Power Delivery negotiation natively?
Yes - the STM32G491CET6 integrates a dedicated USB Type-C™ / USB Power Delivery (UCPD) controller compliant with USB PD 3.0. It handles CC line monitoring, BMC decoding/encoding, fault protection, and policy engine execution without external ICs, using internal timers and DMA for real-time response.
How many analog-to-digital converter (ADC) instances does the STM32G491CET6 include, and what are their key resolution and timing specs?
The device integrates three independent 16-bit ADCs with up to 36 input channels, capable of 0.25 µs conversion time (4 MSPS). Each supports hardware oversampling (up to 128×), configurable resolution (6–16 bits), and 0–3.6 V input range. They share common calibration registers and can be triggered synchronously for multi-channel acquisition.
What low-power modes are available, and what is the typical current draw in STOP mode?
The STM32G491CET6 supports Sleep, Stop, Standby, and Shutdown modes. In Stop 0 mode (all clocks stopped, SRAM/registers retained, VDD powered), typical current consumption is 2.5 µA at 25°C with RTC and IWDG active. With Flash powered down and optimized regulator settings, Stop 1 mode achieves <1.5 µA - validated per DS13122 Rev 4 Section 5.3.6.
