The STM32F042x4/x6 microcontrollers incorporate the high-performance ARM®Cortex®-M0 32-bit RISC core operating at up to 48 MHz frequency, high-speed embedded memories (up to 32 Kbytes of Flash memory and 6 Kbytes of SRAM), and an extensive range of enhanced peripherals and I/Os. All devices offer standard communication interfaces (one I2C, two SPIs/one I2S, one HDMI CEC and two USARTs), one USB Full-speed device (crystal-less), one CAN, one 12-bit ADC, four 16-bit timers, one 32-bit timer and an advanced-control PWM timer.
The STM32F042x4/x6 microcontrollers include devices in seven different packages ranging from 20 pins to 48 pins. Depending on the device chosen, different sets of peripherals are included.
These features make the STM32F042x4/x6 microcontrollers suitable for a wide range of applications such as application control and user interfaces, hand-held equipment, A/V receivers and digital TV, PC peripherals, gaming and GPS platforms, industrial applications, PLCs, inverters, printers, scanners, alarm systems, video intercoms and HVACs.
