Understanding STM32 Sub-families

Justin1 · ‎2018-10-04

I have selected the STM32F091RCT for a new design and was having trouble understanding a specific section of the naming schema -

Example: STM32F091RCT

Sub-family: '91'

0: Value line
1: Access line
2: USB line
8: Low-voltage line

The '1' makes sense this is the access line, as described in the Datasheet's Ordering Information. What is the '9' though? Is there a reference explaining this item?

There's no strict logic in this, the middle digit here simply increases with increasing chip size/number of implemented peripherals.

Hi @Justin ,

As indicated in the Datasheet section Ordering information, the STM32F091RCT:

STM32 = ARM-based 32-bit microcontroller
F = General-purpose
091= STM32F091xx
R = 64 pins
C = 256 Kbyte
T = LQFP

To have more details about the features and peripherals supported by your device, you may have a look on table "STM32F091xB/xC family device features and peripheral counts".
