The STMicroelectronics STM32 Nucleo Development Board, NUCLEO-F103RB are designed to work with the STM32 F1 series microcontrollers to allow you to build an embedded prototype. The development platform offers a simple solution to evaluate and develop Arm Cortex™ M3 processor STM32 F1 32-bit flash microcontrollers in the LQFP64 package. The Nucleo development board supports Arduino™ connectivity and the ST connector Morpho lets you access to all IOs on the MCU. The Nucleo boards are ARM^® mbed enabled and have an integrated ST-Link/V2-1 circuit debugger and programmer and this will interface with the on board microcontroller or a suitable STM32 F1 MCU in a stand-alone function.

STM32F1 Series 32-Bit ARM® Cortex®-M3 Microcontrollers, STMicroelectronics

The STM32 family of 32-bit Flash Microcontrollers is based on the breakthrough ARM Cortex™-M3 core - a core specifically developed for embedded applications. The STM32 family benefits from the Cortex™-M3 architectural enhancements including the Thumb-2 instruction set to deliver improved performance with better code density, significantly faster response to interrupts, all combined with industry leading power consumption.

Benefits
• Excellent real-time behaviour
• Oustanding power efficiency
• Superior and innovative peripherals
• Maximum integration
• Cross family pin-to-pin, peripheral and software compatibility
