Hi I am developing a commercial footfall counter based on the VL53L7CX and ESP32.The API is (Version : VL53L7CX_1.2.10)I have produced a mockup using the VL53L7CX breakout board.IOVCC is 3.3 voltsI am using the on board regulator for AVDD powered fro...

https://uk.farnell.com/c/semiconductors-ics/microcontrollers-mcu?st=stm32fThis has been a problem for over a year, what alternatives can we use?

Posted on May 03, 2018 at 16:44I have developed dozens of products using the STM32 Family, but can not find an easy solution for my latest requirement...I need to collect fast A to D samples (from an external 8 bit A to D)... every 20ns.Is it possib...

Posted on August 11, 2017 at 10:18Hi All.On my latest project I am using STM32F100VCT6 and PB3. I am using this Pin as a quadrature encoder input for Timer 2 combined with PA15. I can not get the encoder to work. I tried setting PB3 up as an inte...

We are a long established design and manufacturing company. It is not possible to run a business based on having to place orders for components 52 weeks in advance.

Thanks for these hints. We usually use octopart.com. The problem is we mass produce several products (int the 10's of thousands) already established, already developed.

Is any STM32 a good choice right now?

Rick Hamilton · 2022-04-14

We have been building some products for more than 5-6 years, using 10's of thousands a month. This is not just showing up at the airport, and I mentioned component shortages more than a year ago. The alternatives suggested were not compatible and n...

I think we would all like to know that. We have designed hundreds of products using STM32 processors and now we can not buy the processors to build the products. What are we supposed to do? Just wait a year?

We have developed a number of products based on STM32Fx processors and can now no longer find stock to buy. If you look on Farnells website they stock over 1000 different STM32 processors with only 4 in stock and the rest on a 1 year lead time.

Re: I'm working to make commercial smart switch for industrial applications, for that i designed using stm32f103c8t6 micro controller, but getting lead time of more than 52 weeks, please suggest MCU's alternative to this which are immediately available.
