Is the STM32H7 intended to replace F7 family?

I doubt it, the variety of parts allows for price stratification, and attack different markets.

The 400 MHz speed makes it competitive against the ATMEL/MICROCHIP CM7 parts which have been 300 MHz FPU-D since inception.

Also publically committed to the STM32F7 thru January 2027

Hello

FitzGerald.John

The STM32F7 and STM32H7 are two distinct families. They will coexist on the market.

Khouloud.

Thanks Clive and Khouloud for the quick replies and helpful information.

as far as I can see, the H7 will drop in on an existing F7 PCB.

I checked the 208pin LQFP, and every pin looks good. FMC pins, Ethernet MII, USB Device/Host, Spi,IIC,Uarts,DSI all line up, pin for pin.

The STM32F7 family is a large portfolio covered by the 10 years longevity comittment as advertized by ST for the whole STM32 family so there is absolutely  no issue to start a new design with any member of this series. The many STM32 series are based upon different technology nodes depending on the objectives that are targeted for the given series, be it the performance, be it  the low power consumption or any other combination. On the high performance path, the STM32H7 platform will see some other variants proposed in the future to expand the offering.
