STM32L ultra-low-power ARM Cortex-M3 MCUs for Energy-Lite apps

STMicroelectronics has announced the extension of its 32-bit STM32L series of microcontrollers to include devices with memory densities of 256 and 384 Kbytes, offering a flash memory range from 32 up to 384 Kbytes for embedded applications. The series is now entering into volume manufacturing and the first devices, offering 64 and 128-Kbyte memory densities, are expected to be available in production maturity by the end of March 2011. STM32L series MCUs with 32-Kbyte memories will follow in Q2 2011.
First ultra-low-power ARM Cortex-M3 MCUs are available from a top-10 silicon supplier and offer 33 DMIPS performance at 32MHz (max). The series is part of ST’s extensive 32-bit STM32 family, which now has more than 180 variants offering complete pin, software, and peripheral compatibility for maximum flexibility.
