STM32L031K6U6 Description

The high-performance Arm? Cortex?-M0+ 32-bit RISC core, operating at a 32 MHz frequency, high-speed embedded memories (up to 32 Kbytes of Flash program memory, 1 Kbytes of data EEPROM, and 8 Kbytes of RAM), as well as a wide variety of enhanced I/Os and peripherals, are all included in the access line ultra-low-power STM32L031K6U6 family.

High power efficiency is offered by the STM32L031K6U6 device for a variety of performances. A wide variety of internal and external clock sources, an internal voltage adaption, and numerous low-power modes are used to achieve it.

The STM32L031K6U6 devices have a number of analog capabilities, including a 12-bit ADC with hardware oversampling, two comparators that consume very little power, multiple timers, and a low-power timer (LPTIM), three general-purpose 16-bit timers, an RTC, and a SysTick that can serve as a time base. They also have two watchdogs: a window watchdog based on a bus clock and a watchdog with separate clock and window functionality.

The STM32L031K6U6 device also includes one I2C, one SPI, one USART, and a low-power UART among other advanced and conventional communication interfaces (LPUART).

A real-time clock and a collection of backup registers are also included in the STM32L031K6U6 and are powered while in Standby mode.

The STM32L031K6U6 ultra-low-power device can run on a 1.8 to 3.6 V power supply with BOR or a 1.65 to 3.6 V power supply without BOR option (down to 1.65 V at power down). They are offered in the temperature range of -40 to +125 °C. A wide range of power-saving modes makes the development of low-power applications.
