Welcome to the world of STM32
The STM32 family of 32‑bit Flash microcontrollers based on the ARM Cortex™‑M processor is designed to
offer new degrees of freedom to MCU users. By bringing a complete 32‑bit product range that combines
high‑performance, real‑time, low‑power and low‑voltage operation, while maintaining full integration and ease
of development, the STM32 family helps you create new applications and design in the innovations you have long
been dreaming about.
