Product details
Overview
STM32L041C6T6TR from STMicroelectronics is an ultra-low-power 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M0+ microcontroller with 32 KB Flash, 8 KB SRAM, and 1 KB EEPROM with ECC; features 12-bit ADC (1.14 Msps), AES-128 hardware encryption, and operates from 1.65 V to 3.6 V across –40 °C to 125 °C - deployed in battery-powered IoT sensor nodes requiring long-term autonomous operation.
For engineers reviewing the STM32L041C6T6TR datasheet, STM32L041C6T6TR pinout, STM32L041C6T6TR application, or STM32L041C6T6TR equivalent, key selection criteria include standby current (0.23 µA), RTC + RAM retention in Stop mode (0.6 µA), 5 µs Flash wakeup time, and 31 I/Os with 5V tolerance - critical for energy-constrained embedded control and secure telemetry designs.
Technical Context
The STM32L041C6T6TR integrates a Cortex-M0+ core running up to 32 MHz with 0.95 DMIPS/MHz performance and dynamic voltage scaling support. Its ultra-low-power architecture includes five low-power modes (Run, Sleep, Low-power Run/Sleep, Stop, Standby), each with distinct peripheral availability and current consumption profiles validated down to 1.65 V supply.
Clock management combines multiple sources: HSE (1–25 MHz), LSE (32 kHz RTC), HSI16 (16 MHz ±1%), LSI (37 kHz), MSI (65 kHz–4.2 MHz), and PLL - enabling precise timing control for real-time sensing and secure communication while minimizing active and quiescent power.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-low-power MCU applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STM32L051C6T6 | 64 KB Flash, same 8 KB SRAM/1 KB EEPROM, identical package and pinout - adds 2x more Flash for larger firmware or bootloader space. | Preferred where field-upgradable firmware or dual-bank bootloading is required. | Select when future firmware expansion or A/B update capability is needed without PCB redesign. |
| STM32L031F6P6 | 32 KB Flash, 8 KB SRAM, but only 20-pin TSSOP package (fewer I/Os, no 5V tolerance), no AES engine - lower cost, reduced feature set. | Suitable for simpler, cost-sensitive devices with minimal peripheral count and no security requirements. | Choose for basic control tasks where cryptographic acceleration and 5V-tolerant I/O are unnecessary. |
Compared with STM32L051C6T6, the STM32L041C6T6TR trades Flash capacity for identical low-power performance and AES support; versus STM32L031F6P6, it delivers significantly higher I/O flexibility, security, and analog capability - making it optimal for secure, sensor-rich edge nodes.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and associated power consumption in Run mode?
The STM32L041C6T6TR achieves a maximum CPU frequency of 32 MHz. At this speed, typical current consumption is 76 µA/MHz when running code from Flash memory, translating to approximately 2.43 mA total under full load - verified per DS10780 Rev 6 Section 6.3.4.
Does this MCU support hardware-based secure boot or trusted execution?
No, the STM32L041C6T6TR does not include a dedicated secure boot ROM or TrustZone. It provides AES-128 hardware encryption and ECC-protected memories for data confidentiality and integrity, but secure boot must be implemented in software using stored keys and signature verification.
Can the 12-bit ADC operate reliably below 2.0 V supply?
Yes - the ADC is fully functional down to 1.65 V supply voltage, with specified performance (12-bit resolution, 1.14 Msps) maintained across the entire operating range per DS10780 Rev 6 Table 57 and Section 6.3.15.
Is the UFQFPN48 package RoHS and REACH compliant?
Yes, the STM32L041C6T6TR in UFQFPN48 packaging meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, and is certified ECOPACK®2 - ST's eco-friendly packaging standard confirming halogen-free materials and lead-free terminations.
