STMicroelectronics Brings ARM® Cortex®-M7 Power to Even More Applications with New Graphics-Centric STM32 Microcontrollers

Particularly well suited to simplifying the design of high-performance controls and user interfaces, the latest members of the extensiveSTM32 MCU family feature a 216MHz/462DMIPS/1082 EEMBC® CoreMark^®Cortex-M7 core with double-precision floating-point unit and DSP instructions. Integrated alongside the core are up to 2MB of dual-bank Flash, ST’s Chrom-ART Accelerator™ for powerful graphics performance, a hardware JPEG accelerator, TFT-LCD controller, and MIPI^®-DSI¹ host controller.

The generous on-chip resources enable graphics applications to benefit from richness and rendering beyond the capabilities of other microcontrollers. There are also powerful audio features including an I²S interface, Serial Audio Interface (SAI), audio PLLs, and DFSDM (Digital Filter for Sigma-Delta Modulators) for connecting a digital microphone or external Sigma-Delta ADC.

The STM32F767/769 feature 512KB of integrated RAM, as well as large 16KB Data and Instruction caches, while the Flexible Memory Controller (FMC) and Quad-SPI interface simplify off-chip memory expansion allowing practically unlimited application code size. In addition, the on-chip Flash allows read-while-write for seamless application performance and continuous operation even while simultaneously updating software.

The STM32F767/769 extend the performance potential of the STM32F7 series and provide the option of a crypto/hash engine (with STM32F777/779 devices) for security-conscious applications. As Cortex-M7 devices, they also provide an upgrade path from STM32F469/479 Cortex-M4 devices that have similar graphics and memory features. The associated ecosystem has features that help developers achieve high graphics performance for applications such as human-machine interfaces.

The STM32F767/769 microcontrollers are sampling now and will enter mass production in May 2016. Pricing for 10000-piece orders starts at $10.95 for the STM32F779NIH6 (2MB Flash, 512KB RAM, TFT, MIPI-DSI, Crypto, TFBGA216) or $7.96 for the entry-level STM32F767VGT6 (1MB Flash, 512KB RAM, TFT, LQFP100).
