Energy-efficient processing

The STM32L is built around the Cortex-M3, an industry standard 32-bit core, which has

been designed, among other criteria, for low power applications. The Cortex-M3 offers a

class-leading performance and code density. Although performance is not naturally linked

with low current consumption, it is a key benefit for most of the low power applications which

have to wake up periodically to execute software tasks. In this case, the Cortex-M3 spends

less time in Run mode due to its processing performance, thus maximizing the time in deep

sleep mode. If we consider only the processing consumption, expressed in mA/DMIPS

(DMIPS standing for Dhrystone MIPS measured using the public benchmark Rev 2.0), the

performance of the Cortex M3 is significantly better than that of the other architectures, in

particular 16-bit microcontrollers.

Yes, the MPU is identical on all other Cortex-M3 cores. But F100/101/102/103 do not have one. Except 103 XL devices.

The MPU documentation can be found here, chapter ''core peripherials'':

(I personally think it is not a good idea to include this document in the folder ''programming manuals'' as all other docs deal with flash programming)

Thanks a lot for the link.

I overlooked it, cause my webbrowser shows at resources only F101CB. And I filtered only the L related PM00062.
