Product Overview
The STMicroelectronics STM32L432KCU6 is an ultra-low-power 32-bit microcontroller based on the ARM Cortex-M4 core with FPU, operating at up to 80MHz. It features 256KB Flash memory, 64KB SRAM, and a comprehensive set of peripherals including USB 2.0 full-speed, CAN, SPI, I2C, USART, and a 12-bit ADC at 5Msps. Housed in a 32-pin UFQFPN package (5×5mm), it is designed for battery-powered and energy-efficient applications.
