Product details
Overview
STM32L452RCI6 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 12-bit ADC (5 Msps), dual 12-bit DAC, and operational amplifier. It supports external SMPS for 36 µA/MHz run efficiency and includes USB 2.0 FS, SAI, CAN 2.0B, and LPUART-used in battery-powered industrial sensors and portable medical monitors.
For engineers reviewing the STM32L452RCI6 datasheet, STM32L452RCI6 pinout, STM32L452RCI6 application, or STM32L452RCI6 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified ultra-low-power modes (22 nA shutdown, 375 nA standby with RTC), UFBGA64 (5×5 mm) package compatibility, CAN + SDMMC interface coexistence, and ART Accelerator™-enabled zero-wait-state Flash execution at 80 MHz.
Technical Context
The STM32L452RCI6 implements an Arm Cortex-M4 core with FPU and Adaptive Real-time Accelerator (ART™) for deterministic Flash execution. Its power architecture integrates dual voltage regulators (LDO/SMPS), enabling dynamic switching between 84 µA/MHz (LDO) and 36 µA/MHz (SMPS) run modes while maintaining full peripheral availability.
It features a 12-bit ADC with hardware oversampling up to 16-bit resolution and 200 µA/Msps efficiency, paired with two independent 12-bit DACs and one rail-to-rail op-amp with programmable gain amplifier (PGA). The interconnect matrix enables concurrent high-bandwidth peripheral access without bus contention.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-low-power Cortex-M4 MCU applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STM32L476RG | 512 KB Flash, 128 KB SRAM, no SAI, higher 160 nA Standby (no RTC), same UFBGA64 footprint | Lacks SAI and audio-focused peripherals; better suited for non-audio IoT gateways with larger code size needs | Select when >256 KB Flash is required and SAI/CAN coexistence is not needed |
| STM32L552RE | ARM TrustZone®, 320 KB Flash, 256 KB SRAM, 25 nA Shutdown, but no CAN or SDMMC interface | Targeted for secure firmware updates and encrypted storage; lacks CAN bus support for industrial fieldbus integration | Choose only when hardware security (TrustZone, AES, PKA) outweighs need for CAN/SDMMC connectivity |
Compared with STM32L476RG, STM32L452RCI6 delivers superior audio capability (SAI) and lower standby current with RTC, while STM32L552RE trades interface breadth for security features-making STM32L452RCI6 optimal for cost-sensitive, interface-rich, battery-constrained edge nodes.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and associated performance metric of the STM32L452RCI6?
The STM32L452RCI6 operates at up to 80 MHz with an Arm Cortex-M4 core featuring FPU and ART Accelerator™. Its performance is quantified at 100 DMIPS (Dhrystone 2.1) and 273.55 CoreMark® (3.42 CoreMark/MHz), validated under full Flash execution with cache enabled and prefetch disabled.
Does the STM32L452RCI6 support crystal-less USB operation, and what are the timing requirements?
Yes, it supports crystal-less USB 2.0 Full-Speed operation using its internal 48 MHz clock recovery system (CRS) synchronized to the USB SOF packet. No external crystal is required; the CRS achieves ±0.25% accuracy over temperature and voltage, meeting USB FS timing compliance without additional components.
How many low-power modes does the STM32L452RCI6 offer, and what is the lowest achievable current draw?
The device offers seven low-power modes. The lowest current draw is 22 nA in Shutdown mode with five wakeup pins enabled. Standby mode draws 375 nA when RTC and backup registers are active-verified per DS11912 Rev 7 Table 4 and Section 3.9.4.
Is the UFBGA64 package of the STM32L452RCI6 compatible with automated optical inspection (AOI) and reflow processes?
Yes, the UFBGA64 (5×5 mm, 0.4 mm pitch) package complies with IPC-7351B standards and is qualified for standard lead-free reflow profiles (peak 260 °C). Its solder-ball geometry and coplanarity (<0.08 mm) support reliable AOI detection and high-yield assembly in Class II/III production environments.
