Product details
Overview
STM8AF6248TAY from STMicroelectronics is an AEC-Q100 qualified automotive 8-bit microcontroller featuring a 16 MHz STM8A core, 32 Kbyte Flash program memory, 1 Kbyte true data EEPROM, and integrated 10-bit ADC with up to 10 channels. It supports LIN 2.2, SPI (up to 8 Mbit/s), I²C (up to 400 Kbit/s), and advanced timers including a 16-bit advanced control timer with dead-time insertion - deployed in engine control units and body electronics requiring operation up to 150 °C.
For engineers reviewing the STM8AF6248TAY datasheet, STM8AF6248TAY pinout, STM8AF6248TAY application, or STM8AF6248TAY equivalent, key selection criteria include AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualification, 150 °C operating temperature, LINUART master/slave capability with automatic resynchronization, 38-pin I/O count with 10 high-speed pins, and dual internal RC oscillators (16 MHz HSI + 128 kHz LSI) with clock security system.
Technical Context
The STM8AF6248TAY implements a Harvard-architecture STM8A CPU with 3-stage pipeline and average 1.6 cycles/instruction throughput, delivering 10 MIPS at 16 MHz. Its clock system integrates trimmable 16 MHz HSI and low-power 128 kHz LSI oscillators, plus external crystal support and clock security monitoring to detect failure and trigger reset.
Interrupt handling uses a nested controller with 32 vectors and up to 34 external interrupts mapped across 5 vectors. Analog subsystem includes a 10-bit ADC with 2 LSB TUE accuracy, scan mode, analog watchdog, and individual data buffers per channel - enabling precise sensor acquisition in harsh automotive environments.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar automotive 8-bit microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STM8AF6268TAY | Same package and pinout; adds 2 Kbyte RAM (vs. 2 Kbyte in STM8AF6248TAY) and second I²C interface. | Preferred for designs requiring dual I²C buses (e.g., connecting both ambient and cabin temperature sensors independently). | Select when additional RAM or redundant I²C is required; otherwise identical toolchain and qualification profile. |
| RL78/F13-BS | Renesas RL78 core; 24 MHz max fCPU, 128 Kbyte Flash, but only AEC-Q100 Grade 2 (−40 °C to +105 °C). | Suitable for non-under-hood applications like infotainment interfaces where extended temperature range is not required. | Choose only if higher Flash capacity and lower power in active mode outweigh loss of 150 °C rating and LIN hardware integration. |
Compared with STM8AF6268TAY, the STM8AF6248TAY offers identical automotive qualification and LIN functionality at lower cost and smaller Flash footprint; versus RL78/F13-BS, it provides superior thermal robustness and integrated LIN, making it optimal for under-hood control where reliability trumps raw processing headroom.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature specification for STM8AF6248TAY?
The STM8AF6248TAY is rated for operation up to +150 °C ambient temperature and has a maximum junction temperature of +165 °C under specified thermal conditions. This rating is validated per AEC-Q100 Grade 0 requirements and confirmed in Section 10.3 of the official datasheet (DocID14952 Rev 11, page 52).
Does STM8AF6248TAY support in-circuit debugging via SWIM interface?
Yes, the STM8AF6248TAY features a Single Wire Interface Module (SWIM) on pin PF0, enabling full-speed in-circuit debugging, flash programming, and real-time variable inspection using ST-LINK/V2 or compatible debug probes - documented in Section 5.2.1 of the datasheet.
How many LIN nodes can STM8AF6248TAY manage as a master?
The STM8AF6248TAY's LINUART supports master-mode operation with automatic resynchronization and slave ID detection, but it is designed as a single-master node per UART instance. It does not implement multi-master arbitration; one STM8AF6248TAY controls one LIN subnetwork, typically serving 2–16 slave nodes depending on bus loading and timing constraints.
Is the 1 Kbyte data EEPROM accessible during code execution?
Yes, the 1 Kbyte true data EEPROM supports concurrent read-while-write operation: code execution from Flash continues uninterrupted during EEPROM write/erase cycles. This is enabled by independent memory banks and verified in Section 5.4.1 of the datasheet (memory architecture diagram, page 15).
