STM8L152C8T6

Microcontrollers Overview

The STM8L152C8T6 is an ultra-low-power 8-bit microcontroller from STMicroelectronics, featuring the enhanced STM8 CPU core with Harvard architecture and a 3-stage pipeline. It operates at a maximum clock frequency of 16 MHz, delivering up to 16 MIPS. The device includes 64 kB of Flash program memory, 4 kB of SRAM, and 2 kB of embedded data EEPROM. It is housed in a 48-pin LQFP package and supports a supply voltage range of 1.8 V to 3.6 V with Brown-out Reset (BOR). Key peripherals include a 12-bit ADC with 25 channels, two 12-bit DACs, two analog comparators, a real-time clock, five timers, and standard communication interfaces such as SPI, I2C, and USART.

Microcontrollers Feature Summary

• Ultra-low power consumption with multiple low-power modes including Halt mode for minimal leakage current.
• Integrated hardware debug module using SWIM interface for non-intrusive in-application debugging.
• Extensive peripheral set including LCD controller, analog comparators, and multiple communication interfaces.
• Modular design compatible with common development tools across different ST microcontroller families.

Microcontrollers Applications

• Portable devices requiring critical power management
• Battery-operated systems utilizing ultra-low leakage features
• Applications needing integrated LCD driving capabilities

Microcontrollers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'T6' corresponds to the tape and reel packaging configuration if required for automated assembly, as opposed to tray packaging. Confirm the temperature grade matches the application environment, as the STM8L152 series may offer extended temperature options beyond the standard industrial range. Ensure the order quantity aligns with the manufacturer's specified factory pack size to avoid partial reel issues.

Microcontrollers Selection Notes

Select this component when high code density and processing power are needed alongside strict power constraints. The 64 kB Flash capacity suits complex firmware applications compared to lower-density variants. The inclusion of two DACs and an LCD controller makes it suitable for advanced user interfaces. Verify that the 48-pin LQFP package fits the board layout constraints and that the 1.8 V minimum operating voltage meets the system power rail specifications.

Microcontrollers Part Context

This part belongs to the STM8L152 line within the STM8L ultra-low-power family. It shares the same architecture and memory mapping as other members like the STM8L152C6T6 but offers increased memory capacity. The family is designed for easy transition to 32-bit solutions due to shared peripheral sets and development tools.

Microcontrollers Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers: STM8L152C6T6 (lower memory density), STM8L152R8T6 (different package and pin count).
