Product details
Overview
STM32L451RET6TR from STMicroelectronics is an ultra-low-power Arm® Cortex®-M4 32-bit MCU with FPU, delivering 100 DMIPS at 80 MHz, featuring 512 KB Flash, 160 KB SRAM, and integrated analog peripherals including 12-bit ADC (5 Msps), dual 12-bit DAC, op-amp with PGA, and RTC with hardware calendar-designed for battery-powered IoT sensor nodes requiring long runtime and audio-capable edge processing.
For engineers reviewing the STM32L451RET6TR datasheet, STM32L451RET6TR pinout, STM32L451RET6TR application, or STM32L451RET6TR equivalent, key selection criteria include verified low-power mode current (375 nA Standby + RTC), LQFP64 package compatibility, SAI/USART/LPUART interface availability, and FlexPowerControl architecture enabling sub-µA wake-up latency in Stop 2 mode.
Technical Context
The STM32L451RET6TR implements an Adaptive Real-time Accelerator (ART Accelerator™) enabling zero-wait-state execution from Flash at 80 MHz, paired with a memory protection unit (MPU) and interconnect matrix for deterministic peripheral arbitration. Its power architecture integrates dual voltage regulators supporting dynamic voltage scaling across Run, Stop, and Standby modes.
Clock management includes two PLLs (system and audio), auto-trimmed MSI oscillator (±0.25%), and dedicated clock recovery for USB-free SAI audio synchronization. Analog subsystem features independent supply domains, hardware oversampling (up to 16-bit), and buffered 2.048 V reference for precision sensor signal chains.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and core type of the STM32L451RET6TR?
The STM32L451RET6TR features an Arm Cortex-M4 core with FPU, operating at up to 80 MHz. It delivers 100 DMIPS performance and supports DSP instructions. The ART Accelerator™ enables zero-wait-state execution from Flash memory, ensuring deterministic timing for real-time tasks without external cache.
Does the STM32L451RET6TR support USB connectivity?
No, the STM32L451RET6TR does not integrate a USB physical layer (PHY) or USB controller. It lacks USB OTG or device functionality. For USB-enabled designs, ST recommends the STM32L476RG or STM32L4A6RG variants, which include full-speed USB 2.0 OTG FS with embedded PHY and crystal-less capability.
What low-power modes are available and what are their typical current draws?
The device offers Shutdown (22 nA), Standby (106 nA), Standby + RTC (375 nA), Stop 2 (2.05 µA), and Run mode (84 µA/MHz). All modes support multiple wakeup sources including I/O pins, RTC alarms, and communication interfaces like LPUART. Current values are measured at 3.3 V and 25 °C per DS11910 Rev 5.
Is the STM32L451RET6TR pin-compatible with other STM32L4xx devices in LQFP64 package?
Yes, it shares identical pinout with STM32L431RC, STM32L432KC, and STM32L433RC in LQFP64. However, peripheral mapping differs: SAI and Quad-SPI signals appear on unique pins not present in L431/L432, and some alternate functions (e.g., CAN, SDMMC) are disabled or relocated. Hardware design must verify AF remapping per datasheet Table 16.
