Product details
Overview
STM32G491RCT3TR 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 - deployed in motor control, industrial sensing, and power conversion systems.
For engineers reviewing the STM32G491RCT3TR datasheet, STM32G491RCT3TR pinout, STM32G491RCT3TR application, or STM32G491RCT3TR equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual FDCAN support, CORDIC/FMAC math accelerators, UCPD interface for USB Type-C™ PD, 5 V-tolerant I/Os, and LQFP64 package with 51 GPIOs - critical for real-time embedded control with mixed-signal precision.
Technical Context
The device 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. It integrates dual FDCAN controllers compliant with ISO 11898-1:2015 for flexible data-rate automotive and industrial networking.
Analog subsystem includes three independent 16-bit ADCs (0.25 µs conversion, up to 36 channels), four 12-bit DACs (2 buffered external @ 1 MSPS, 2 unbuffered internal @ 15 MSPS), and four op-amps configurable as programmable-gain amplifiers (PGA) with full terminal access - supporting closed-loop control and sensor signal conditioning without external components.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STM32G474RET6 | Same Cortex-M4 core, 512 KB Flash, but only 128 KB SRAM; no UCPD; fewer op-amps (2) and comparators (2) | Lacks USB-C PD control and reduced analog channel count - suitable for cost-sensitive motor control without PD requirements | Select when UCPD and full analog complement are unnecessary; lower BOM cost with identical package and pinout. |
| STM32H743VIT6 | Cortex-M7 core, 2x higher clock (480 MHz), 2 MB Flash, dual-core option, but larger LQFP100 package and higher power | Targeted at high-end HMI, AI edge, or complex multi-protocol gateways - over-spec for most G4-class control tasks | Choose only when >200 DMIPS, dual-core RTOS, or advanced graphics/audio are required; not drop-in compatible. |
Compared with STM32G474RET6, the STM32G491RCT3TR adds UCPD, two extra op-amps/comparators, and enhanced math acceleration - justifying its use in USB-C PD-enabled power systems. Versus STM32H743VIT6, it delivers optimized analog integration and lower power in a smaller footprint, avoiding unnecessary complexity and cost.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and corresponding DMIPS rating?
The STM32G491RCT3TR operates at up to 170 MHz with an integer performance of 213 DMIPS, measured using the Dhrystone 2.1 benchmark with ART Accelerator enabled and zero-wait-state Flash execution. This reflects deterministic real-time throughput for control and signal processing workloads.
Does this MCU support USB Type-C™ Power Delivery negotiation?
Yes - the STM32G491RCT3TR integrates a dedicated USB Type-C™ and Power Delivery (UCPD) controller compliant with USB PD 3.0 specification. It handles physical layer signaling, PD message parsing, policy engine execution, and VCONN switching without external ICs.
How many analog-to-digital converters does it include, and what are their key capabilities?
It features three independent 16-bit ADCs with up to 36 input channels, 0.25 µs conversion time, hardware oversampling (up to 16×), and selectable resolution (8–16 bits). Each ADC supports synchronous sampling, injected/conversion sequences, and direct DMA transfer - ideal for multi-axis motor current sensing.
What low-power modes are supported, and what is the typical current draw in Stop mode?
The MCU supports Sleep, Stop (0/1), Standby, and Shutdown modes. In Stop 0 mode (all clocks stopped, SRAM/registers retained), typical current consumption is 1.9 µA at 25 °C with RTC and 8 KB SRAM powered - verified per DS13122 Rev 4, Table 29.
