Product details
Overview
STM32L152VBT6ATR from STMicroelectronics is an ultra-low-power 32-bit ARM® Cortex®-M3 microcontroller featuring 128 KB Flash, 32 KB SRAM, 4 KB EEPROM with ECC, integrated LCD controller (up to 8×40 segments), USB 2.0 interface, and dual 12-bit DACs. It operates from 1.65 V to 3.6 V across –40°C to +105°C and targets battery-powered industrial sensors, portable medical devices, and smart metering endpoints requiring long runtime and on-chip analog integration.
For engineers reviewing the STM32L152VBT6ATR datasheet, STM32L152VBT6ATR pinout, STM32L152VBT6ATR application, or STM32L152VBT6ATR equivalent, key selection criteria include standby current (0.28 µA), RTC-enabled Stop mode (1.38 µA), 12-bit ADC with 24 channels and 1 Msps, dual buffered DACs, and LCD driver with on-board step-up converter - all in LQFP100 package.
Technical Context
This MCU implements dynamic voltage scaling and multiple low-power modes (Run, Sleep, Low-power Run, Stop, Standby) with sub-µA retention states and <8 µs wakeup latency. Its Cortex-M3 core runs up to 32 MHz with 1.25 DMIPS/MHz and includes a memory protection unit (MPU) for secure firmware partitioning.
The analog subsystem integrates two ultra-low-power comparators with window mode and wake-up capability, a temperature sensor, internal 1.22 V reference (VREFINT), and a 12-bit ADC supporting single-ended/differential inputs with programmable sampling time - all functional down to 1.8 V supply.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CPU Core | ARM Cortex-M3, 32-bit, up to 32 MHz - enables deterministic real-time control with MPU for RTOS-safe memory isolation. |
| Memory | 128 KB Flash (with ECC), 32 KB SRAM, 4 KB true EEPROM (with ECC) - supports robust firmware storage, volatile data buffering, and wear-levelled non-volatile parameter retention. |
| Power Consumption | 0.28 µA Standby (3 wakeup pins), 1.38 µA Stop + RTC - extends coin-cell or energy-harvesting system lifetime to multi-year operation. |
| Analog Peripherals | 12-bit ADC (1 Msps, 24 channels), 2×12-bit DAC (buffered outputs), 2×ultra-low-power comparators - enables high-fidelity sensor signal acquisition and precision analog output generation without external ICs. |
| Communication | 1×USB 2.0 FS (48 MHz PLL), 3×USART (IrDA/ISO7816), 2×SPI (16 Mbit/s), 2×I²C (SMBus/PMBus) - supports wired connectivity, legacy protocol interfacing, and sensor hub aggregation. |
| LCD Driver | Up to 8×40 segment drive with contrast adjustment, blinking mode, and integrated step-up converter - eliminates external bias generator for segment LCD displays in portable instruments. |

Pinout & Package
LQFP100 (14 × 14 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) package with 83 fast I/Os (73 I/Os 5V tolerant), all mappable to 16 external interrupt vectors. Includes dedicated VDDA/VSSA, VREF+/VREF-, and VLCD rails for analog and LCD power integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD, VSS | Main digital power/ground | Supplies core and digital peripherals; requires local 100 nF + 4.7 µF decoupling per VDD pair. |
| VDDA, VSSA | Analog power/ground | Isolated analog domain supply; must be filtered separately to maintain ADC/DAC accuracy and comparator stability. |
| VREF+, VREF- | ADC/DAC reference inputs | Enable external precision reference (e.g., 2.5 V) for improved analog measurement linearity and repeatability. |
| VLCD | LCD segment bias supply | Output of internal step-up converter; powers LCD glass directly - eliminates need for external charge pump or DC-DC. |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low-power BOR | 5 selectable brownout thresholds (1.65–2.9 V) - ensures reliable reset during battery sag without external supervisor IC. |
| Internal clock sources | HSI (16 MHz ±1%), LSI (37 kHz), MSI (65 kHz–4.2 MHz), LSE (32.768 kHz) - enables full clock redundancy and RTC operation without external crystals. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STM32L432KCU6 | ARM Cortex-M4F (FPU), 256 KB Flash, 64 KB SRAM, no EEPROM or LCD driver, lower standby (150 nA) | Better for floating-point math (motor control, audio); lacks integrated LCD and EEPROM - requires external components for same functionality. | Select when FPU or higher compute throughput is critical and LCD/EPPROM are handled externally. |
| EFM32PG12B500F1024GL125 | Silicon Labs Gecko, ARM Cortex-M4, 1024 KB Flash, 256 KB RAM, no USB, no LCD, 1.4 µA EM4 (deep sleep) | Superior deep-sleep current but missing USB and LCD - suited for sub-GHz wireless nodes where those interfaces are unnecessary. | Choose for RF-centric designs prioritizing lowest possible sleep current and large code space over USB/LCD integration. |
Compared with STM32L152VBT6ATR, STM32L432KCU6 trades EEPROM and LCD integration for FPU and lower standby current, while EFM32PG12B500F1024GL125 offers deeper sleep and larger memory but omits USB and LCD - making STM32L152VBT6ATR optimal for cost-sensitive, LCD-equipped, USB-configurable battery devices.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and core type of STM32L152VBT6ATR?
The STM32L152VBT6ATR features an ARM Cortex-M3 core rated for up to 32 MHz operation. It delivers 1.25 DMIPS/MHz (Dhrystone 2.1) and includes a Memory Protection Unit (MPU) for secure memory partitioning. The maximum frequency is achievable across the full 1.65–3.6 V supply range with dynamic voltage scaling enabled.
Does STM32L152VBT6ATR support USB functionality, and what are its requirements?
Yes, it integrates a full-speed USB 2.0 device interface with an internal 48 MHz PLL, eliminating the need for an external crystal. It requires only standard USB D+/D− routing, VBUS sensing (optional), and proper 3.3 V regulation. No external PHY or clock source is needed - the USB module supports CDC, HID, and MSC class drivers out of the box.
How does the LCD controller in STM32L152VBT6ATR differ from basic segment drivers?
Unlike basic segment drivers, this MCU's LCD controller supports up to 8×40 segments with built-in contrast adjustment, blinking mode, and an on-chip step-up converter generating VLCD from VDD. This eliminates external charge pumps or DC-DC converters, reduces PCB area, and simplifies power design for monochrome segment LCDs in portable instruments.
What low-power modes are available, and what is the lowest achievable current draw?
It supports five low-power modes: Sleep, Low-power Run, Low-power Sleep, Stop, and Standby. The lowest current is 0.28 µA in Standby mode with three wakeup pins active and RTC disabled; with RTC enabled, Standby draws 1.11 µA. All modes retain SRAM and register content except Standby, which retains only backup registers and RTC.
