Product details
Overview
STM8L101F2U6TR from STMicroelectronics is an 8-bit ultra-low-power microcontroller featuring 4 Kbytes Flash, 1.5 Kbytes RAM, and integrated peripherals including two 16-bit timers, USART, SPI, I²C, two comparators, and infrared (IR) interface - deployed in battery-powered sensor nodes and portable medical devices operating from 1.65 V to 3.6 V.
For engineers reviewing the STM8L101F2U6TR datasheet, STM8L101F2U6TR pinout, STM8L101F2U6TR application, or STM8L101F2U6TR equivalent, key selection criteria include active-halt current (0.8 µA), 20-pin UFQFPN package footprint, SWIM debug interface support, and IR transmitter capability with programmable beeper output.
Technical Context
The STM8L101F2U6TR implements a CISC-based STM8 core delivering up to 16 MIPS at 16 MHz, with dual internal RC oscillators: a 16 MHz HSI for dynamic run mode and a 38 kHz LSI for independent watchdog and auto-wakeup unit (AWU) operation. Its interrupt controller supports nested priority handling across 29 external sources.
Memory architecture includes ECC-protected Flash with in-application programming, 2 Kbytes of emulated data EEPROM, and flexible read/write protection. Low-power modes-Wait, Active-halt, and Halt-are managed via dedicated voltage regulators and POR/PDR circuitry optimized for sub-1 µA quiescent current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Core Architecture | STM8 8-bit CISC CPU, 16 MIPS @ 16 MHz - enables deterministic real-time control without complex toolchain overhead. |
| Flash Memory | 4 Kbytes with ECC and in-application programming - supports field firmware updates and robust code integrity in harsh environments. |
| RAM Size | 1.5 Kbytes static RAM - sufficient for sensor fusion buffers and lightweight protocol stacks (e.g., BLE over UART). |
| Supply Voltage | 1.65 V to 3.6 V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion, LiFePO₄, and alkaline battery systems without external regulation. |
| Low-Power Current | Halt mode: 0.3 µA, Active-halt: 0.8 µA - extends shelf life and operational runtime in always-on wake-on-event applications. |
| Peripherals | USART (fractional baud), SPI, I²C (400 kHz), 2× 16-bit timers, IR interface, beeper timer - integrates communication, timing, and actuation in compact BMS or wearable designs. |

Pinout & Package
STM8L101F2U6TR is housed in a 20-pin Ultra Thin Fine Pitch Quad Flat No-lead (UFQFPN) package, 3 × 3 mm body size, 0.5 mm pitch, with exposed thermal pad. Pin count and I/O mapping align with the STM8L101x2 family variant for compact layout and thermal efficiency.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Power supply input | Main 1.65–3.6 V supply rail; decoupling required within 1 cm of pin for low-noise operation. |
| VSS | Ground reference | Digital ground return; tied to thermal pad for improved thermal dissipation and EMI suppression. |
| NRST | Active-low reset input | Asynchronous reset trigger; internal pull-up enables standalone operation without external RC network. |
| SWIM | Single-wire debug interface | Enables full programming and real-time debugging via one bidirectional pin - eliminates need for JTAG header space. |
| PA0 | High-sink LED/IR driver | Capable of 20 mA sink current; directly drives IR LEDs or indicator LEDs without external transistor. |
| PA1–PA7 | General-purpose I/O | All mappable to external interrupts; configurable pull-ups, open-drain, and high-drive modes for mixed-signal interfacing. |
| PA10/PA11 | USART TX/RX | Full-duplex asynchronous serial interface supporting fractional baud generation for precise timing across voltage/temp ranges. |
| PA12/PA13 | SPI SCK/MOSI | Master or slave SPI interface; supports up to 8 MHz clock rate with hardware NSS management. |
| PA14/PA15 | I²C SCL/SDA | Multi-master I²C compliant at 400 kHz; includes slew-rate control and noise filtering for noisy industrial buses. |
| PC0–PC3 | Comparator inputs / IR modulation | Four comparator inputs shared with IR carrier generator - enables analog threshold detection and remote control encoding. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low-power Halt mode | 0.3 µA typical - enables multi-year battery life in periodic wake-up sensor applications (e.g., environmental monitors). |
| Integrated IR transmitter | Hardware-modulated 30–56 kHz carrier with programmable duty cycle - eliminates external encoder IC for remote control endpoints. |
| Beeper timer | 1/2/4 kHz fixed-frequency output on PA0 - provides audible feedback without software timing loops or external components. |
| Error Correction Code (ECC) | On-chip Flash ECC detection and correction - prevents silent corruption in long-life deployments (e.g., smart metering, asset trackers). |
| SWIM debug interface | Single-pin, non-intrusive on-chip debugging - reduces test point count and simplifies production programming fixtures. |
| Programmable I/O pull-ups | Internal 20–50 kΩ pull-up resistors - eliminates external biasing components for button interfaces and bus terminations. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-low-power 8-bit microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STM8L051F3P6 | Same STM8L core, 8 Kbytes Flash, 1 Kbyte RAM, TSSOP20 package - lacks IR interface and beeper timer. | Suitable for general-purpose sensing where IR transmission is unnecessary; higher Flash supports larger protocol stacks. | Select when firmware complexity exceeds 4 Kbytes or when TSSOP assembly preference exists. |
| EFM8LB12F32ES1-QFP32 | Silicon Labs 8051 core, 32 Kbytes Flash, 2.25 Kbytes RAM, QFP32 - adds capacitive touch and USB, but consumes 1.2 µA in deep sleep. | Better suited for human-interface-rich devices (touch buttons, USB-CDC) requiring more memory and peripheral headroom. | Choose when migrating from legacy 8051 ecosystems or adding USB connectivity without external transceivers. |
Compared with STM8L101F2U6TR, STM8L051F3P6 offers greater Flash capacity at the cost of IR functionality, while EFM8LB12F32ES1-QFP32 delivers expanded peripherals and deeper integration at higher power and package size - making STM8L101F2U6TR optimal for cost-sensitive, IR-centric, sub-1 µA standby applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the STM8L101F2U6TR?
The STM8L101F2U6TR operates at up to 16 MHz using its internal 16 MHz high-speed RC oscillator (HSI), which achieves typical startup time of 4 µs. External crystal support is not provided; all timing-critical functions rely on calibrated internal oscillators with ±1% accuracy over voltage and temperature.
Does the STM8L101F2U6TR support in-system programming (ISP)?
Yes - the device supports in-system programming via the Single-Wire Interface Module (SWIM) using standard ST-LINK/V2 or compatible debuggers. No bootloader is required; flash memory can be reprogrammed while soldered on the target board, enabling field firmware updates and production line programming.
Can the comparators drive the IR modulator directly?
Yes - the two comparators share input channels with the IR interface block. Comparator outputs feed into the IR carrier generator, allowing hardware-based modulation of external IR LEDs using analog threshold detection - eliminating CPU intervention during transmission bursts.
Is the 20-pin UFQFPN package RoHS and REACH compliant?
Yes - STM8L101F2U6TR is manufactured in STMicroelectronics' certified facilities and complies with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006. Full material declarations and compliance documentation are available through ST's official product page and Aetrix Electronics' quality portal.
