Product details
Overview
STM32L452RET6P from STMicroelectronics is an ultra-low-power Arm® Cortex®-M4 32-bit MCU with FPU, operating up to 80 MHz (100 DMIPS), 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. It supports external SMPS for 36 µA/MHz run-mode efficiency and targets battery-powered industrial sensors and portable medical devices.
For engineers reviewing the STM32L452RET6P datasheet, STM32L452RET6P pinout, STM32L452RET6P application, or STM32L452RET6P equivalent, key selection criteria include verified low-power mode current (22 nA Shutdown, 375 nA Standby+RTC), LQFP64 package compatibility, USB 2.0 full-speed crystal-less operation, and support for capacitive touch sensing across 21 channels.
Technical Context
The STM32L452RET6P implements FlexPowerControl architecture with five distinct low-power modes-Shutdown (22 nA), Standby (106 nA), Standby+RTC (375 nA), Stop 2 (2.05 µA), and Run (36 µA/MHz with SMPS)-enabling precise energy budgeting in intermittent-sensing applications. Its ART Accelerator™ enables zero-wait-state execution from Flash at 80 MHz, while dual PLLs independently supply system clock and audio/ADC domains.
It integrates a full analog subsystem with independent VDDA supply: one 12-bit ADC (5 Msps, hardware oversampling to 16-bit), two 12-bit DACs, two ultra-low-power comparators, one operational amplifier with programmable gain, and buffered 2.048 V/2.5 V reference voltage-enabling self-contained signal conditioning without external components.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and corresponding performance metric?
The STM32L452RET6P operates at up to 80 MHz with an Arm Cortex-M4 core featuring FPU and ART Accelerator™, delivering 100 DMIPS and 273.55 CoreMark® (3.42 CoreMark/MHz). This enables deterministic execution of floating-point math, FFTs, and real-time control loops without external coprocessors.
Does this MCU support external SMPS, and what is the measured efficiency benefit?
Yes, the STM32L452RET6P supports external SMPS via dedicated VDD12 and VDD12_IO pins. With SMPS enabled, active-mode current drops to 36 µA/MHz at 3.3 V-versus 84 µA/MHz in LDO mode-reducing power consumption by over 57% during sustained processing, critical for battery longevity.
How many communication interfaces are integrated, and which are available in low-power modes?
It integrates 17 communication interfaces: USB 2.0 FS, SAI, 4× I²C, 4× USART, 1× UART, 1× LPUART, 3× SPI, QuadSPI, CAN 2.0B, SDMMC, and IRTIM. The LPUART and two low-power timers (LPTIM1/LPTIM2) remain active in Stop 2 mode, enabling asynchronous wake-up without full system restart.
What analog peripherals are included, and how are they isolated for precision operation?
The MCU includes a 12-bit ADC (5 Msps), two 12-bit DACs, one op-amp with PGA, two ultra-low-power comparators, and a buffered 2.048 V/2.5 V reference. These operate from a dedicated VDDA/VSSA supply domain, physically and electrically isolated from digital power rails to minimize noise coupling and maintain ±1 LSB INL accuracy.
