Product details
Overview
STM32L151RDT6 from STMicroelectronics is an ultra-low-power 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M3 microcontroller with 384 KB Flash, 48 KB SRAM, 12 KB EEPROM, USB 2.0 interface, and 12-bit ADC (1 Msps, up to 40 channels) - deployed in battery-powered medical sensors and portable industrial data loggers requiring sub-µA standby operation.
For engineers reviewing the STM32L151RDT6 datasheet, STM32L151RDT6 pinout, STM32L151RDT6 application, or STM32L151RDT6 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 305 nA Standby current, 1.35 µA Stop mode + RTC, 11 µA Low-power run mode, and LQFP64 package compatibility with legacy PCB footprints.
Technical Context
The device integrates a 32-bit Arm Cortex-M3 core running at up to 32 MHz with MPU, dynamic voltage scaling, and five low-power modes (Run, Sleep, Low-power Run, Stop, Standby). It supports dual-bank Flash for Read-While-Write (RWW) and ECC protection across memory subsystems.
Analog subsystem includes three operational amplifiers, two 12-bit DACs with output buffers, two ultra-low-power comparators with window mode and wakeup capability, and a temperature sensor - all functional down to 1.8 V supply.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the STM32L151RDT6?
The STM32L151RDT6 operates at up to 32 MHz using its internal 16 MHz RC oscillator with PLL multiplication or external crystal sources. Frequency scaling is dynamically managed by the voltage regulator to maintain ultra-low-power operation across voltage ranges from 1.65 V to 3.6 V, with guaranteed performance at all specified supply levels.
Does the STM32L151RDT6 support USB without an external crystal?
Yes - the device integrates a 48 MHz PLL fed by its internal 16 MHz HSI RC oscillator, enabling full-speed USB 2.0 communication without requiring an external crystal. This simplifies BOM and layout while maintaining USB compliance, though external 48 MHz crystal support remains available for jitter-sensitive applications.
How many ADC channels are available, and what is their resolution and speed?
The STM32L151RDT6 features a single 12-bit ADC with up to 40 input channels (including internal temperature sensor and VREFINT), capable of 1 million samples per second. Conversion accuracy is ±2 LSB INL/DNL over temperature, with programmable sampling times and hardware oversampling support for enhanced effective resolution.
Is the 12 KB EEPROM truly embedded and wear-levelled?
Yes - the 12 KB EEPROM is implemented as true on-die flash memory with built-in ECC and hardware wear leveling managed by the embedded Flash programming logic. It guarantees 400,000 erase/write cycles and 20-year data retention at 55°C, eliminating need for external EEPROM or software wear-leveling algorithms.
