Question

Which STM32F7s are pin to pin compatible to STM32F407IIT6

Hi:

   Are there any documents mentioned about chip selection for upgrading from STM32F4 to STM32F7? I find a document AN4660 talking about migration, thus I know STM32F756 is the candidate. However is there any table said about device mapping for upgrade. For example If I use STM32F427IIT 6(LQFP176), which device I can choose for STM32F7?

    Is the F7 really available in more that one LQFP176 format?

    Review a couple of Data Sheets, you should be able to make a determination.

    Hi Clive1:

      That is exactly what my question. I don't know how many and which device is active now!

       The new STM website gets me lost. With old website, there is a device selection table for each STMFx series, which I can check device active or not and filter out spec I don't needed. From the filter result, I can easily select one to fit my requirement. But now i don't know where is the table. Do you mean now I need to check device one by one to collect the information? Or where is the table?

    Hi Calvin63,

    It is mentioned in the application note

    ''Migration of microcontroller applications from STM32F42xxx/STM32F43xxx to STM32F74xxx/STM32F75xxx? :

    ?The STM32F74xxx/F75xxx devices are fully pin-to-pin compatible with the STM32F42xxx/F43xxx devices except for the LQFP100 package..?

    So for your case, with STM32F427IIT 6(LQFP176), you will be fully compatible with STM32F74xxx/F75xxx

    For the website , you can see the STM32F7 details in the dynamic table of product? Parts inside the

    Determining true pin compatibility is of course one step beyond.

    Its a basic due diligence task, shouldn't take more than 30 mins to go side-by-side and validate each pin in the data sheet, and against ones own design. Sure it is nice to have a nice table/sheet created by someone else, but they won't get fired if your design fails.

    There's no more that a handful of die, and I'm pretty sure the bond out is exactly the same between the original F7 1M FPU-S, and F7 2M FPU-D designs for LQFP176.

    Places like DigiKey have good search filters to get down to specific part#, and ST has at least one brochure that charts the part# vs memory, pins, etc.

    Hi:

       

          Thanks for waclawek's http://stmcufinder.com link, it's very helpful.

          Thanks Hannibal's device selection table link, it tells me, the table is still exist, just I can't see it. I used to see the table with chrome but it's gone for a long time. I open the link by IE, the table comes back, so I go back to chrome and adjust the web setting (website enlarge/shrink feature), the table comes back also. The font in the table is not proper located, but it is there.

       I never use STM32F7 series, this series is new to me, without the table, I don't know how to select device candidate. The problem is solved now.Thanks you all.
