Hi

can i, if i change the lay-out of my board, replace the original stm32f427VIT6 with a ZIT6 without changing the code?

Could get my hands on some ZIT6 instead of the almost unobtainable vit6 for free, but want to know if its possible without changing the software

Yes, the code will work without modification assuming your footprint is changed appropriately.

> They are compatible in pinout and no change is needed.

Not sure I'd call LQFP100 and LQFP144 compatible in pinout.

Hello @DSmit.11​ ,

They are compatible in pinout and no change is needed in software.

You can use "Cross Selector" feature with STM32CubeMx tool to compare the characteristics (please see attached file comparing STM32F427VITx with STM32F427ZITx).
