Product details
Overview
STM32L451RCY6TR from STMicroelectronics is an ultra-low-power Arm® Cortex®-M4 32-bit MCU with FPU, operating up to 80 MHz (100 DMIPS), featuring 256 KB Flash, 160 KB SRAM, and integrated analog peripherals including a 12-bit 5 Msps ADC, dual 12-bit DACs, and hardware-accelerated capacitive touch sensing - deployed in battery-powered IoT sensor nodes requiring long runtime and real-time signal processing.
For engineers reviewing the STM32L451RCY6TR datasheet, STM32L451RCY6TR pinout, STM32L451RCY6TR application, or STM32L451RCY6TR equivalent, key selection criteria include verified Stop 2 mode current (375 nA with RTC), 5 V-tolerant I/O count (up to 51), UFBGA64 package footprint compatibility, and CAN 2.0B interface support for industrial edge devices.
Technical Context
The device implements FlexPowerControl architecture with seven low-power modes, including Shutdown (22 nA), Standby with RTC (375 nA), and Stop 2 (2.40 µA with RTC), enabled by independent voltage regulators and dynamic voltage scaling. Its ART Accelerator™ delivers zero-wait-state execution from Flash at 80 MHz.
Core peripherals include dual PLLs (system/audio), SAI for audio streaming, LPUART for sub-millisecond wake-up from Stop 2, and a dedicated DFSDM for sigma-delta sensor interfacing - all coordinated via an interconnect matrix supporting concurrent DMA transfers without CPU intervention.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STM32L431RCY6TR | Same UFBGA64 package, but 256 KB Flash only, no SAI, no DFSDM, no CAN, reduced timer count | Suitable for simpler sensor nodes without audio or sigma-delta sensor needs | Select when CAN/SAI/DFSDM are unnecessary and BOM cost reduction is prioritized |
| STM32L552REY6TR | ARMv8-M TrustZone®, 512 KB Flash, 256 KB SRAM, enhanced crypto accelerators, higher leakage in low-power modes | Required for secure firmware updates, encrypted storage, and PSA Level 1 certification | Choose when hardware root-of-trust and secure boot are mandatory, accepting 2.8 µA Stop 2 current |
Compared with STM32L431RCY6TR, the STM32L451RCY6TR adds CAN and SAI for industrial connectivity and audio, while STM32L552REY6TR trades ultra-low power for security - making the L451 optimal for cost-sensitive, battery-powered edge nodes needing both analog richness and bus interoperability.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for STM32L451RCY6TR?
The STM32L451RCY6TR is rated for operation from –40 °C to +85 °C ambient temperature, validated per DS11910 Rev 5 Section 6.3.1. This industrial-grade range supports deployment in outdoor metering, factory-floor sensors, and automotive cabin modules without derating.
Does STM32L451RCY6TR support hardware encryption acceleration?
No - the STM32L451RCY6TR does not include cryptographic accelerators (AES, PKA, HASH). It relies on software libraries for encryption. For hardware-accelerated crypto, ST recommends the STM32L5x2 or STM32U5xx families, which integrate AES-256, PKA, and secure key storage.
Can the internal 32 kHz RC oscillator replace the external LSE crystal for RTC accuracy?
The internal 32 kHz RC (LSI) has ±5% accuracy and drifts with temperature/voltage - unsuitable for calendar-grade RTC. The external 32.768 kHz crystal (LSE) achieves ±20 ppm accuracy and is required for precise timekeeping; LSI is only recommended for wake-up timing or fallback operation.
Is the UFBGA64 package of STM32L451RCY6TR compatible with reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020?
Yes - the UFBGA64 package (pitch 0.5 mm) is qualified for standard Pb-free reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020D, with peak temperature ≤260 °C. ST specifies MSL3 handling (floor life 168 hours at ≤30 °C/60% RH), and recommends stencil aperture ratio ≥0.66 for reliable solder paste release.
