Product details
Overview
STM8AF6223PDAU from STMicroelectronics is an AEC-Q100 qualified automotive 8-bit microcontroller featuring a 16 MHz STM8A core, 8 Kbyte Flash memory, 640 byte data EEPROM, 10-bit ADC with 7 muxed channels, LIN 2.2-compliant UART, and operation up to 150 °C in LQFP32 package. It targets body control modules requiring robust LIN communication and high-temperature reliability.
For engineers reviewing the STM8AF6223PDAU datasheet, STM8AF6223PDAU pinout, STM8AF6223PDAU application, or STM8AF6223PDAU equivalent, key selection criteria include automotive-grade temperature range (−40 to 150 °C), LIN master/slave capability with automatic resynchronization, 28 I/Os with high-sink capability, and integrated clock security system with monitor.
Technical Context
The STM8AF6223PDAU implements a Harvard-architecture STM8A core with 3-stage pipeline and extended instruction set, supporting up to 16 MHz CPU frequency at 3–5.5 V supply. Its clock system integrates user-trimmable 16 MHz RC and low-power 128 kHz RC oscillators, plus external crystal/resonator support with clock security monitoring.
Interrupt handling uses a nested controller with 32 vectors and up to 28 external interrupts across 7 vectors. Peripheral integration includes an advanced 16-bit timer (TIM1) with dead-time insertion and complementary outputs, two additional 16-bit and 8-bit general-purpose timers, and analog subsystem with internal reference voltage measurement.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar automotive 8-bit MCU applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STM8AF6226PDU | Same core and peripherals, but offered in VFQFPN32 (5×5 mm) and LQFP32 packages; adds one extra ADC channel (8 total) and increases RAM to 1.5 Kbyte. | Preferred for space-constrained modules where smaller VFQFPN32 footprint is required; higher RAM supports more complex LIN diagnostic stacks. | Select when board area is critical or additional ADC channel is needed; pin-compatible in LQFP32 but not VFQFPN32 due to different thermal pad layout. |
| RL78/F13-CD-TE | Renesas RL78 core (16-bit), 32 Kbyte Flash, 4 Kbyte RAM, LIN 2.2, but no integrated high-sink I/Os; operates to 125 °C only. | Better suited for gateway or mid-tier modules needing higher code density and CAN/LIN coexistence; requires external drivers for high-current loads. | Choose when migrating toward 16-bit architecture or integrating CAN alongside LIN; verify thermal derating if deployed above 125 °C. |
Compared with STM8AF6226PDU, the STM8AF6223PDAU offers identical functionality in LQFP32 but with lower memory and ADC count - ideal for cost-optimized body nodes. Against RL78/F13-CD-TE, it provides superior high-temperature operation and direct load driving, at the expense of code density and CAN readiness.

FAQ
Is STM8AF6223PDAU pin-compatible with other STM8AF62xx variants in LQFP32?
Yes - STM8AF6223PDAU shares identical LQFP32 pinout with STM8AF6226 in the same package variant, including matching VDD/VSS, NRST, SWIM, and peripheral alternate function mappings. Differences are internal (Flash size, ADC channels, RAM), not pin-level. Always verify option byte configuration for clock source selection and reset behavior.
What LIN physical layer components are required when using STM8AF6223PDAU?
No external LIN transceiver is required for basic slave-node operation: the integrated LINUART handles protocol framing, checksum, and synchronization. However, a LIN bus physical layer (e.g., TLE7259-2GE or MC33661) is mandatory to drive the 12 V bus, provide ESD protection, and meet ISO 17987-4 electrical specifications for slew rate and dominant timeout.
Does STM8AF6223PDAU support in-circuit debugging via SWIM?
Yes - the device features a Single Wire Interface Module (SWIM) accessible via dedicated SWIM pin (PC7) and NRST pin, enabling full-speed debugging, flash programming, and real-time variable inspection using ST-LINK/V2 or compatible debuggers. SWIM operates at VDD = 3–5.5 V and supports hot-plug connection without resetting the target.
How is the 150 °C operating temperature validated for STM8AF6223PDAU?
The 150 °C rating is validated per AEC-Q100 Grade 0 test plan, including extended temperature life testing (ETL), high-temperature operating life (HTOL), and thermal cycling (TC). Junction temperature is monitored during qualification; actual PCB layout must maintain θJA ≤ 45 °C/W (LQFP32, 4-layer board, 1-in² copper pour) to sustain continuous 150 °C ambient operation.
