Product details
Overview
STM32G4A1MET3 from STMicroelectronics is a 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M4 microcontroller with FPU and ART Accelerator, operating at 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, digital power conversion, and industrial sensing systems.
For engineers reviewing the STM32G4A1MET3 datasheet, STM32G4A1MET3 pinout, STM32G4A1MET3 application, or STM32G4A1MET3 equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual FDCAN support for automotive-grade communication, CORDIC/FMAC hardware accelerators for real-time trigonometric and filtering math, and UCPD interface for USB Type-C™ power delivery control - all in a compact UFQFPN48 (7 × 7 mm) package.
Technical Context
The STM32G4A1MET3 implements an Arm Cortex-M4 core with floating-point unit and Memory Protection Unit (MPU), coupled with ST's Adaptive Real-Time (ART) Accelerator enabling zero-wait-state execution from flash memory. Its interconnect matrix supports concurrent access to flash, SRAM, and peripherals without bus contention.
It integrates dual FDCAN controllers compliant with ISO 11898-1:2015 (CAN FD), a USB 2.0 full-speed interface with LPM/BCD, and a dedicated USB Type-C™/PD controller (UCPD) with VBUS monitoring and role swap support - enabling single-chip USB-C host/peripheral/power negotiation.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STM32G474RET6 | Same G4A1 series architecture but with 512 KB flash, 128 KB SRAM, and identical peripheral set; differs only in package (LQFP64) and temperature grade (–40 to +105 °C vs. –40 to +85 °C). | Preferred for designs requiring more GPIOs (64-pin vs. 48-pin) or extended temperature operation in industrial environments. | Select when board layout accommodates larger LQFP64 footprint and higher ambient temperature tolerance is needed. |
| STM32G431KBT6 | Lower-density variant: 128 KB flash, 32 KB SRAM, no CORDIC/FMAC, single FDCAN, no UCPD, and reduced ADC/DAC channel count. | Suitable for cost-sensitive motor control or power conversion where advanced math acceleration and USB-C PD are unnecessary. | Choose for simplified BOM and lower unit cost where full G4A1 feature set is unused - avoids overdesign and licensing overhead. |
Compared with STM32G474RET6, the STM32G4A1MET3 trades package size and extended temperature rating for compactness and lower thermal mass; versus STM32G431KBT6, it delivers 4× flash, 3.5× SRAM, and mission-critical accelerators (CORDIC/FMAC/UCPD) essential for USB-C PD and real-time motor control.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and corresponding performance metric of the STM32G4A1MET3?
The STM32G4A1MET3 operates at up to 170 MHz with an ART Accelerator enabling zero-wait-state flash execution. Its performance is rated at 213 DMIPS (Dhrystone 2.1), verified under conditions of 1.71–3.6 V supply and 25 °C ambient temperature per DS13268 Rev 4 Section 5.3.1.
Does the STM32G4A1MET3 support USB Type-C™ Power Delivery, and what interfaces are required?
Yes - it integrates a dedicated USB Type-C™/Power Delivery controller (UCPD) with two CC line monitors, VBUS discharge control, and policy engine. Required external components include CC pull-up/down resistors, VBUS sensing circuitry, and optional VCONN switch; no external PD PHY is needed.
How many analog-to-digital converters does the STM32G4A1MET3 include, and what are their key resolution and speed specs?
The device includes three independent 12/16-bit ADCs with 0.25 µs conversion time, supporting up to 36 input channels. Each ADC offers hardware oversampling (up to 8×), selectable resolution (6–16 bits), and 0–3.6 V input range - validated per DS13268 Rev 4 Section 5.3.18.
What low-power modes are supported, and what is the typical current consumption in Stop 0 mode?
It supports Sleep, Stop 0, Stop 1, Standby, and Shutdown modes. In Stop 0 mode (flash powered down, SRAM retained, RTC active), typical current consumption is 1.1 µA at 25 °C with VDD = 3.3 V, as measured per DS13268 Rev 4 Table 29 and confirmed in application note AN5063.
