No price info on STM32 selector??

[Ricko]

Hi,

I tried CubeIDE as well as the online STM32 selector but it seems that there is no price information in the results?

Did I miss something?

The distributors (Digikey, Mouser etc) don't list all peripherals in a parametric form as refined as ST (obviously).

I want to list all the STM32 with certain peripherals (for example 3 x SPI, DSI, etc) but nowhere to be seen is the price, unless I click on each one separately...?

I want to sort the results of a specific search by price. How do I do that?

I only need the relative pricing, i.e. between the various parts to see which ones are the lowest cost one, so the classic 1K pricing is good enough even if in production it might change due to purchaser, market etc.

Thank you

Hi,

search at mouser .

Use the STM selector to find the family that fits your need, then search at mouser, digikey etc. 

The pure price tag at 10000 pcs wouldnt help you, if there is no stock. And this you can see only at distributors page.

Because pricing is variable and transient, and depends on how good of a customer you are, and how many middlemen there are between you and the source.

Hello @Ricko 

It is the weekend so I'm using my PC now but I've been able to check the budgetary price of all products with specific filters (Flash size, package, ADC Channels, SPI...). using the STM32 Finder app on the mobile (IOS and ANDROID). You can't do the saving operation automatically for the list. But you will see all data you need including the price. You can even use the comparative tool to compare two MCUs or more.

Best Regards

Thank you all (updated OP to be more precise).

@STTwo-32thank you, but I still cannot see the price column. Could you please:

- send me the link tot he table that I can open on a PC browser

- just in case, what is the lowest cost (using ST reference 1K pricing) STM32 that has MIPI-DSI interface?

Thank you :)

Hello, @Ricko ,

I don't think this is possible even if it's a "relative" price.

As stated by @Tesla DeLorean this is something variable and transient and could vary from a distributor to another and their stocks and the quantity you will get. The prices could change soddenly from the distributors side (for some reasons) and ST is not aware, so hard to manage it from ST side in CubeMX. ST cannot control distributors' prices. I don't think ST could engage on something like that.

Thank you@SofLit  and @Tesla DeLorean 

I have been designing PCBs for 27 years and all manufacturers do give the 1K or 10K price (and always did). And your colleague @STTwo-32 also said so above.

If they didn't, how could companies make decision on which micro (or any other IC) to choose?

ST does show the 10K price on CubeIDE (see screenshot below) and you can even use that filter is filter by price on there, but once you select the range you cannot sort the results so you have to go through each one. that is why I was asking @STTwo-32 how he did it and if he could send the link because perhaps I have been looking at the wrong selector tool.

So hopefully he can send me the link.

Thank you all as always.

Hello @Ricko 

As I said before you can use the ST-MCU-FINDER-PC to select products according to specific filters (APIs, Memories, Packages ...). you can also select a filter of price. the final results will show the package, Flash, RAM, ... including the Unit Price for 10 KU:

You can also click on the export Button to extract this data on a excel sheet:

Best Regards.

Thank you @STTwo-32 

in your previous reply you mentioned the finder app for iOS/Android and I assumed it was only available for mobile devices.

Thank you all as always! :)

I've been doing this for a while too, most small buyers will get dealt with by distributors, like Mouser or DigiKey unless doing a very large amount of business. Or actually doing planning or scheduling.

Halving the 1-up DigiKey pricing tends to work well as a finger-in-the-wind test, ie 100% markup. OctoPart is also good for determining how much stock is out their and if the part is remotely popular, or just awash in stockrooms.

At the end of the day the cost depends on how aggressive your buyer is, the volume of product moved, and number of ST parts in a design you can leverage as margin for the account.
