Product details
Overview
STM32L475RCT3 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, 64 KB SRAM, USB OTG FS, dual SAI audio interfaces, and CAN 2.0B - deployed in battery-powered industrial sensors and portable medical monitors requiring sub-µA standby operation and analog signal acquisition.
For engineers reviewing the STM32L475RCT3 datasheet, STM32L475RCT3 pinout, STM32L475RCT3 application, or STM32L475RCT3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.1 µA/MHz run-mode efficiency, 420 nA Stop 2 mode with RTC, 3× 12-bit ADCs (5 Msps), dual 12-bit DACs, and LQFP64 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The device integrates an Adaptive Real-time Accelerator (ART Accelerator™) enabling zero-wait-state execution from Flash at 80 MHz, alongside a memory protection unit (MPU) and interconnect matrix for deterministic peripheral arbitration. Its power architecture supports five low-power modes - including Shutdown (30 nA), Standby (120 nA), and Stop 2 (420 nA with RTC) - managed via hardware-controlled voltage scaling and BOR circuitry.
Clock system includes three PLLs (system, USB, audio), four oscillator sources (HSE, LSE, HSI16, MSI), and auto-trimmed MSI achieving ±0.25% accuracy. Analog subsystem features independent supply domains, 2× operational amplifiers with PGA, 2× ultra-low-power comparators, and 4× digital filters for sigma-delta modulators - enabling simultaneous high-precision sensing and low-noise signal conditioning.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and associated performance metric of the STM32L475RCT3?
The STM32L475RCT3 operates at up to 80 MHz with an Arm Cortex-M4 core featuring FPU and ART Accelerator™, delivering 100 DMIPS (Dhrystone 2.1) and 273.55 CoreMark® (3.42 CoreMark/MHz). This performance level supports real-time signal processing, such as FFT-based vibration analysis or adaptive filtering in sensor nodes, without requiring external DSP hardware.
How does the STM32L475RCT3 achieve ultra-low power consumption in deep-sleep modes?
The device achieves 420 nA in Stop 2 mode with RTC active through hardware-managed voltage scaling, selective peripheral clock gating, and retention of only essential registers and RTC logic. The VBAT domain maintains RTC and 32×32-bit backup registers at 300 nA, enabling calendar-aware wake-up events and state preservation during multi-year battery operation without external supervision.
Which communication interfaces support low-power wake-up capability from Stop modes?
LPUART and selected EXTI-capable GPIOs (5 dedicated wakeup pins) support wake-up from Stop 2 mode. LPUART retains asynchronous receive capability with minimal current draw, allowing host-initiated commands to resume full operation - critical for remote configuration of battery-powered field devices without continuous polling.
Does the STM32L475RCT3 include hardware security features beyond basic readout protection?
Yes - it includes a true random number generator (RNG) compliant with NIST SP800-90B, CRC calculation unit, 96-bit unique ID, and optional firewall for memory region protection. While it lacks ARM TrustZone® (found in STM32L5), its RNG and unique ID enable secure key derivation and device authentication in TLS-based cloud connectivity stacks.
