STM32F407/417 Microcontrollers and Their Application Scenarios

The STM32F407/417 series are high performance microcontrollers from STMicroelectronics, based on the ARM Cortex-M4 core. The series is known for its excellent performance and wide range of applications for embedded applications requiring high integration and performance.

Product Features in Detail

Core Performance and Architecture

The STM32F407/417 series features an ARM Cortex-M4 core with support for the DSP instruction set and a floating-point unit (FPU) that operates at up to 168 MHz, which allows it to excel in complex computational tasks. When executing from Flash memory at 168 MHz, it delivers 210 DMIPS and 566 CoreMark performance, and achieves a FLASH zero wait state with ST's ART accelerator.

Storage and Packaging

With 512KB to 1MB of Flash memory and 192KB of SRAM, the family meets the storage needs of most embedded applications. Packaging options range from 100 to 176 pins in small 10 x 10 mm packages to suit different design requirements.

Power Consumption and Process

The STM32F407/417 series uses ST's 90 nm process and ART accelerator technology for dynamic power tuning. In run mode, current consumption is as low as 238 µA/MHz (@ 168 MHz) when executing from Flash memory, effectively reducing power consumption while maintaining high performance.

Peripherals and Interfaces

Connectivity: Supports Ethernet MAC (10/100 Mbps) compliant with the IEEE 1588 v2 standard, and provides a parallel interface that can be connected to a CMOS camera sensor.

USB support: 2 USB OTG ports, one of which supports High Speed (HS) mode.

Audio functionality: Integrated dedicated audio PLL and I²S interfaces.

Communication interfaces: Up to 15 communication interfaces including USART, SPI, I²C, CAN and SDIO.

Analogue functions: Equipped with two 12-bit DACs and three 12-bit ADCs.

Timers: Up to 17 timers, including 16-bit and 32-bit timers.

Security and Encryption

The STM32F417 family also integrates a crypto/HASH processor that provides hardware acceleration for AES, 3DES, and HASH for enhanced system security.
