We will introduce the first new microcontrollers, the STM8L and STM32L, based on this ultra-low-power platform later in 2009. These will be the start of new ultra-low-power product paths for the 8-bit STM8S and 32-bit STM32F families achieving dynamic power consumption as low as 150µA/MHz from Flash, and HALT-mode power consumption as low as 300nA while maintaining SRAM content and registers. The first STM8L products are already sampling to key OEMs.
Within this new technology platform, 130nm digital transistors optimized for low leakage reduce the microcontroller’s current draw in normal operation as well as in power-saving modes. In addition, the innovative, low-power embedded non-volatile memory reduces the energy consumed to handle application data. The enhanced analog transistors are functional down to 1.65V, enabling low-voltage operation of the on-chip analog circuitry. The power-management architecture also saves power in all modes through techniques such as low-voltage operation of the core and ultra-fast 4-microseconds wake-up from low-power states. Completing the platform, dedicated digital libraries and a new low-power system-on-chip (SoC) design flow will enable us to expand our ultra-low-power microcontroller families and deliver new devices to market quickly, Therefore you can continue releasing your creativity ...stay Connected :)
Cheers,
STOne-32.
