Product details
Overview
STM32L4P5RET6 from STMicroelectronics is an ultra-low-power Arm® Cortex®-M4 32-bit MCU with FPU, operating up to 120 MHz (150 DMIPS), featuring 512 KB Flash memory, 320 KB SRAM (64 KB with hardware parity), and integrated LCD-TFT controller. It supports external SMPS for 41 µA/MHz run-mode efficiency and delivers 285 ULPMark™CP energy benchmark score in battery-constrained IoT sensor nodes and portable medical devices.
For engineers reviewing the STM32L4P5RET6 datasheet, STM32L4P5RET6 pinout, STM32L4P5RET6 application, or STM32L4P5RET6 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified low-power mode current (190 nA Standby with RTC), dual-bank read-while-write Flash, 136 GPIOs (most 5 V-tolerant), and hardware-accelerated graphics via Chrom-ART DMA2D - all validated for industrial edge node and wearable display control.
Technical Context
The STM32L4P5RET6 implements an adaptive real-time accelerator (ART) enabling zero-wait-state execution from Flash at 120 MHz, paired with a memory protection unit (MPU) and dual-bank Flash supporting seamless firmware updates. Its power architecture integrates three voltage regulators (LDO/SMPS/bypass) and FlexPowerControl logic enabling dynamic voltage scaling across seven low-power modes.
Peripheral interconnect uses a multi-AHB bus matrix with 14-channel DMA, supporting concurrent high-bandwidth transfers between Octo-SPI, SDMMC, DCMI, and LTDC. Clock management includes three PLLs (system/USB/audio), internal 48 MHz RC with USB clock recovery, and auto-trimmed multispeed oscillator (±0.25% accuracy).

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STM32L4R5ZIT6 | 1 MB Flash, 640 KB SRAM, UFBGA144; no external SMPS support; higher static current in Run mode (110 µA/MHz) | Suitable for feature-rich HMI where memory density outweighs battery life constraints | Select when >512 KB Flash or >320 KB SRAM is required and LQFP64 footprint is not mandatory |
| STM32L552RET6 | ARM TrustZone®, 320 KB Flash, 256 KB SRAM, VDD=1.71–3.6 V; 220 nA Standby+RTC; no LTDC or Chrom-ART | Preferred for secure boot-critical applications (e.g., payment terminals) lacking display requirements | Choose when hardware root-of-trust and PSA Certified Level 3 security are prioritized over graphics capability |
Compared with STM32L4R5ZIT6, the STM32L4P5RET6 trades Flash capacity for superior energy efficiency and LQFP64 compactness; versus STM32L552RET6, it retains full graphics acceleration and higher SRAM but lacks TrustZone, making it optimal for cost-sensitive, display-driven ultra-low-power designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and associated performance metric of the STM32L4P5RET6?
The STM32L4P5RET6 operates at up to 120 MHz, delivering 150 DMIPS (Dhrystone 2.1) and 409.20 CoreMark® (3.41 CoreMark/MHz). This performance is sustained with zero wait states via the ART Accelerator, confirmed in DS12903 Rev 3 Section 3.2 and Table 10, enabling deterministic real-time execution in sensor fusion and control loops.
Does the STM32L4P5RET6 support external SMPS, and what is the measured current efficiency in that configuration?
Yes, the STM32L4P5RET6 supports external SMPS via dedicated VDDSMPS and VSSSMPS pins. In SMPS-powered Run mode, it achieves 41 µA/MHz at 3.3 V (DS12903 Rev 3 Table 26), a 63% reduction versus 110 µA/MHz in LDO mode, validated across temperature and voltage ranges per Section 6.3.5.
How many low-power modes does the STM32L4P5RET6 offer, and what are the lowest verified current values?
The device offers seven low-power modes. Verified minimum currents are: 22 nA in Shutdown (5 wakeup pins), 190 nA in Standby with RTC, and 2.95 µA in Stop2 with RTC (DS12903 Rev 3 Table 4 and Section 3.7.4). All values are production-tested per industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C).
Is the STM32L4P5RET6 pin-compatible with other STM32L4x5 variants in the LQFP64 package?
No - the STM32L4P5RET6 has a unique pinout within the LQFP64 option. While sharing the same package outline, its peripheral mapping (e.g., Octo-SPI on PF0–PF15, LTDC on PD0–PD2) differs from STM32L4R5/L4S5 variants, requiring board-level redesign per DS12903 Rev 3 Pin Definitions (Table 15) and Alternate Function tables (Tables 16–17).
