STMICROELECTRONICS REVEALS STM32WBA52 WIRELESS MICROCONTROLLERS
The arrival of STM32WBA52 MCUs eases the next step for IoT device developers seeking to add wireless, cut power, strengthen cyber-protection, and boost processing in the edge.
STMicroelectronics’ STM32WBA52 microcontrollers (MCUs) combine Bluetooth® LE 5.3 connectivity with ultra-low-power modes, advanced security, and a broad selection of peripherals familiar to STM32 developers.
The STM32WBA wireless MCU platform includes ST-patented leading-edge technology. Targeted applications comprise smart homes, industrial lighting, sensors, electrical switches, gateways, and portable medical devices.
The STM32WBA 32-bit Wireless series brings designers the performance, efficiency, and security required for Bluetooth® Low Energy 5.3-enabled applications.
STM32WBA offers the essential features for wireless IoT devices including:
- High data rate to ensure fast and reliable data transfer
- Long range capability to enlarge communication range
- High output power to increase communication range thanks to +10 dBm of output power
- Low-power messaging capability to extend battery lifetime
Based on the Arm® Cortex®-M33 core running at 100 MHz with TrustZone® technology, the STM32WBA series provides a high level of security, protecting data, IPs, and preventing hacks or device cloning.
Sharing many energy-saving technologies with the ultra-low-power STM32U5 MCUs, STM32WBA52 MCUs feature ST’s Low Power DMA and flexible power-saving states with fast wakeup times. Together, these features can cut MCU power by up to 90%. There are also state-of-the-art integrated peripherals including a 12-bit ADC for enhanced accuracy with oversampling capability, while error code correction (ECC) on internal Flash and RAM enhances data integrity and safety. Generous 1Mbyte flash memory density provides storage for the user application and protocol stacks.
The STM32WBA52 MCUs will be included in ST’s 10-year product-longevity program, which renews long-term assurances of production every year.
