The STM32 F0 series aim to budget sophisticated applications

The STM32 F0 series integrate hardware support for Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) included in the HDMI interface. The CEC core can be independently clocked by a low-speed 32 kHz external clock or internal 8MHz clock further reducing system cost. This simplifies design into numerous home multimedia devices, allowing connections based on the latest industry-standard protocols while leaving the microcontroller’s CPU, memory and peripherals free to perform other tasks. Moreover, the STM32 F0’s 12MHz I/O toggle speed allows developers to build sophisticated control applications with lower cost and lower power consumption. And the devices will be packaged with 32-pin UFQFPN32, 48-pin LQFP48 and 64-pin LQFP64.

The STM32 F0 expanded by STM Microelectronics is the most successful and well proven STM32 combination with more than 300 micros. By creating the STM32 and defining its “DNA”, the ARM Cortex-M processor series has the advantages of high performance, low cost, low power consumption and so on. ST has established the industry’s broadest and most successful family of Cortex-M processor-series-based-microcontrollers which includes the world’s highest-performance Cortex-M4 processor-based microcontroller range available. The new STM32 F0 family builds on this DNA by using the well proven Cortex-M0 core, running at 48MHz version, and adding high-value features not available in competing devices. The enhanced features of the STM32 F0 family include up to seven timers suited for controlling items such as heaters or motors, enabling a single device to control multiple elements in an induction cooker. Furthermore, the STM32 F0 has an additional analog block comprising a 12-bit 1Msample/s Analog/Digital Converter (ADC), a 12-bit Digital/Analog Converter (DAC), and two programmable input/output analog comparators tightly coupled with the DAC. And it results in higher analog capabilities than other M0-based devices for applications requiring precision high-speed sensing and control across multiple channels.

Generally speaking, the STM32 F0 series is an entirely new family of devices combining enhanced features with the ultra-low-power ARM Cortex-M0 embedded processor for extremely cost-sensitive applications,
