November 9, 2011 – Mouser Electronics, Inc., regarded as a top design engineering resource and global distributor for semiconductors and electronic components, today announced it is stocking STMicroelectronics’ newest addition to its STM32® platform, the STM32 F4 series of microcontrollers. The STM32 F4 series is based on the latest ARM® Cortex™-M4 core, which adds signal-processing capabilities and faster operations to its outstanding portfolio of STM32 MCUs, making it STMicroelectronics’ highest-performance MCU.
Adding the STM32 F4 series to the STMicroelectronics portfolio opens up design possibilities for creators in the Digital Signal Controller (DSC) market for applications that require single-cycle DSP instructions and high computational capability, such as high-end motor control, medical equipment, and security applications. Offering pin and software compatible options, designers using the STM32 F2 series MCUs can offer product extensions by upgrading to the F4 series if they need more memory, performance, or features. In addition, the STM32 F4 series replaces multi-chip MCU and DSP approaches with one, high-performance microcontroller.
STMicroelectronics STM32 F4 32-bit ARM Cortex-M4 MCUs include more SRAM, high performance ADCs, a floating point unit, built-in MAC instructions, optimized SIMD arithmetic, saturating arithmetic instructions, an adaptive real-time ART Accelerator™ to provide linear performance up to 168MHz, unleashing the full performance of the core, while providing outstanding power efficiency.
