Product details
Overview
STM32L443RCT6TR from STMicroelectronics is an ultra-low-power Arm® Cortex®-M4 32-bit MCU with FPU, 256 KB flash, 64 KB SRAM, USB FS, LCD controller, and hardware AES encryption. It operates up to 80 MHz (100 DMIPS), supports -40 °C to 105 °C, and achieves 280 nA Standby with RTC-enabling battery-powered portable medical monitors with real-time display and secure data logging.
For engineers reviewing the STM32L443RCT6TR datasheet, STM32L443RCT6TR pinout, STM32L443RCT6TR application, or STM32L443RCT6TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 80 MHz Cortex-M4+FPU performance, 256 KB flash with readout protection, 280 nA RTC-enabled Standby mode, integrated LCD 8×40 driver with step-up converter, and dual 12-bit DACs for analog output in space-constrained IoT edge nodes.
Technical Context
This MCU integrates an Adaptive Real-Time Accelerator (ART Accelerator™) enabling zero-wait-state execution from flash at 80 MHz, alongside a dual-voltage domain architecture separating analog peripherals (12-bit ADC @ 5 Msps, 2× DAC, OPAMP, 2× comparators) from digital logic. Its FlexPowerControl system delivers granular low-power mode control-including Stop 2 (1.28 µA with RTC) and Shutdown (8 nA with 5 wakeup pins).
The device features a full interconnect matrix for concurrent peripheral access, two PLLs (one dedicated to USB/audio), and a rich communication suite: USB 2.0 FS (crystal-less), CAN 2.0B, SAI, 4× USART, LPUART, 3× SPI, Quad SPI, and SWPMI-supporting mixed-signal sensor fusion and secure firmware updates in resource-constrained embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and associated performance metric?
The STM32L443RCT6TR runs at up to 80 MHz with its Arm Cortex-M4 core featuring FPU and DSP extensions. It delivers 100 DMIPS (Dhrystone 2.1) and 273.55 CoreMark® (3.42 CoreMark/MHz), validated under full ART Accelerator™ operation with flash execution. This performance is sustained across the full industrial temperature range (-40 °C to +105 °C) with voltage scaling enabled.
Does this MCU support crystal-less USB Full-Speed operation?
Yes, the STM32L443RCT6TR integrates a USB 2.0 Full-Speed PHY with crystal-less operation using its internal 48 MHz RC oscillator, calibrated by the 32.768 kHz LSE. This eliminates the need for an external USB crystal, reducing BOM cost and PCB area while maintaining USB compliance for device enumeration and data transfer at 12 Mbps.
How many low-power modes does the STM32L443RCT6TR support, and what is the lowest current draw?
The device supports eight low-power modes, including Shutdown (8 nA), Standby (28 nA without RTC, 280 nA with RTC), and Stop 2 (1.28 µA with RTC). The 8 nA Shutdown mode retains only VBAT-supplied RTC and backup registers-verified per DS11421 Rev 6 Section 3.9.4-and is activated via PWR_CR4 register with all clocks gated and regulators disabled.
Is the LCD controller capable of driving segment-based displays without external components?
Yes, the integrated LCD controller supports up to 8×40 or 4×44 segments with an on-chip step-up converter, eliminating the need for external charge pumps or bias generators. It operates from a single 3.3 V supply and includes software-programmable contrast control, frame frequency tuning, and blinking support-fully documented in Section 3.21 of the datasheet.
