STMicroelectronics Brings New Microcontroller Series to Europe
Geneva, Saturday, 8 February 2025.
STMicroelectronics has launched the STM32H563RG microcontroller series, designed for demanding embedded applications, with enhanced processing power and advanced security features, ideal for system integrations.
Advanced Processing Capabilities
The STM32H563RG series features a powerful Arm Cortex-M33 core operating at up to 250 MHz [1]. This high-performance microcontroller comes equipped with 1-Mbyte Flash memory and 640-Kbyte RAM [1], providing robust resources for complex embedded applications. The inclusion of a floating-point unit (FPU), DSP instructions, and a memory protection unit (MPU) [1] enhances its computational capabilities for demanding tasks.
Comprehensive Security Features
Security stands at the forefront of the STM32H563RG design, implementing Arm’s trusted-based security architecture (TBSA) [1]. The microcontroller incorporates advanced security features including readout protection, internal monitoring systems, a HASH hardware accelerator, and a true random number generator [1]. These features are particularly relevant for point-of-sale applications, supported by active tamper detection and protection mechanisms that align with PCI requirements [1].
Versatile Connectivity Options
The STM32H563RG offers an extensive range of communication interfaces, including four I2Cs, one I3C, six SPIs, and multiple UART/USART options [1]. The device also supports USB full-speed connectivity and features a USB Type-C/USB power delivery controller [1]. This comprehensive connectivity suite makes it particularly suitable for various industrial and consumer applications requiring multiple communication protocols.
Robust Design for Industrial Applications
The microcontroller operates across a wide temperature range of -40 to +85 °C, with an extended option up to +125 °C [1]. Power supply flexibility is ensured with a voltage range of 1.71 to 3.6 V [1]. For developers, ST is actively supporting the platform with upcoming technical webinars, including a dedicated security session scheduled for February 4, 2025 [2], demonstrating the company’s commitment to supporting implementers of this new technology.
