Product details
Overview
STM32L151VBT6TR from STMicroelectronics is an ultra-low-power 32-bit ARM® Cortex®-M3 microcontroller in LQFP100 package, featuring 128 KB Flash, 16 KB SRAM, 4 KB EEPROM with ECC, 12-bit ADC (1 Msps, 24 channels), and dual 12-bit DACs. It operates from 1.65–3.6 V, achieves 0.57 µA Stop mode current, and supports USB 2.0, LCD (excluded in L151 series), and capacitive touch sensing - deployed in battery-powered medical sensors and portable industrial data loggers.
For engineers reviewing the STM32L151VBT6TR datasheet, STM32L151VBT6TR pinout, STM32L151VBT6TR application, or STM32L151VBT6TR equivalent, key selection criteria include verified ultra-low-power mode timing (e.g., <8 µs wakeup), precise analog performance (ADC/DAC linearity, comparator window mode), USB 2.0 full-speed compliance, and validated 73-pin 5V-tolerant I/O mapping for mixed-voltage system interfacing.
Technical Context
The device implements dynamic voltage scaling across five low-power modes (Run, Sleep, Low-power Run/Sleep, Stop, Standby), with dedicated BOR/POR/PVD circuitry enabling robust operation across -40°C to +85°C. Its clock system integrates six independent sources: HSE (1–24 MHz), LSE (32.768 kHz), HSI (16 MHz ±1%), LSI (37 kHz), MSI (65 kHz–4.2 MHz), and USB PLL (48 MHz).
Analog subsystem includes two ultra-low-power comparators with wake-up capability, temperature sensor, internal VREFINT, and hardware-accelerated CRC unit. Memory protection unit (MPU) enforces privilege separation, while 7-channel DMA supports concurrent peripheral-to-memory transfers without CPU intervention.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-low-power microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STM32L431RCT6 | Higher performance (80 MHz Cortex-M4F), no EEPROM, 256 KB Flash, lower Stop mode current (0.12 µA) | Requires external EEPROM for persistent storage; better suited for sensor fusion with floating-point math | Select when computational throughput outweighs EEPROM dependency and cost sensitivity is moderate. |

Compared with STM32L151VBT6TR, the STM32L431RCT6 trades EEPROM for higher speed and larger memory, while the EFM32PG12B500F1024GL125 eliminates USB but adds DC-DC efficiency - making the L151 optimal where embedded EEPROM, USB, and balanced ultra-low-power analog integration are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and corresponding power supply range?
The STM32L151VBT6TR operates up to 32 MHz across its full 1.65–3.6 V supply range, enabled by dynamic voltage scaling. At 32 MHz, typical active current is 214 µA/MHz; at 1.65 V, maximum frequency is reduced to 16 MHz per datasheet Table 4, ensuring safe timing margins under low-voltage conditions.
Does this MCU support hardware encryption or secure boot?
No, the STM32L151VBT6TR does not include hardware cryptographic accelerators (AES, SHA, PKA) or secure boot ROM. Security relies on software-based implementations or external secure elements; later series like STM32L4/L5 add these features. Its TRNG is also absent - random number generation requires software algorithms or external sources.
Can the internal 12-bit DAC drive a load directly?
Yes, both DAC channels include integrated output buffers capable of driving resistive loads up to 5 kΩ with full rail-to-rail swing. For capacitive loads >100 pF or low-impedance loads (<1 kΩ), external op-amp buffering is recommended to maintain settling time and monotonicity per datasheet Section 3.11.
Is the LCD controller functional on this part number?
No, the STM32L151VBT6TR excludes the LCD controller block. Per datasheet Section 2.1 and Table 1, LCD functionality is only present in STM32L152xx variants; L151 devices omit this peripheral entirely - confirmed by absence of COM/SEG pins and LCD register map in the reference manual.
