 Hello, and welcome to this presentation of the STM8L series of 8-bit ultra-low-power microcontrollers addressing cost-sensitive applications. The STM8L series is part of ST's 10-year Product Longevity Commitment Program for STM32 and STM8 microcontrollers. The ultra-low-power platform is comprised of MCUs ranging from 20 to 144 pins and from 2 to 1,024 kilobytes of memory. Both the STM8L and STM32L families share the same ultra-low leakage process technology and the same philosophy in terms of architecture and peripherals. Our STM8L series is our entry-level 8-bit solution offering the best price-to-performance ratio. It is based on our proprietary STM8 core operating at 16 MHz featuring memory sizes from 2 to 64 kilobytes of flash and current consumption down to 0.3 microamps in the lowest power mode. Customers can upgrade performances with the STM32L series. The STM8 proprietary core is a high-performance core with advanced and innovative Harvard and CISC architecture, 16-bit index registers, an internal 32-bit memory interface and 3-stage pipeline in order to align performance and code compactness. The STM8L portfolio offers ultra-low-power devices with 20 to 80 pins and 2 to 64 kilobytes of flash memory. Shown here is the generic block diagram for the STM8L. It includes the STM8 proprietary core at 16 MHz and embedded flash memory, system RAM, data EEPROM and boot ROM. Which peripherals are present depends on the package and memory size that you choose from the portfolio. This diagram represents the superset configuration. Those features marked with a star are only available in the STM8L15X. Here we present the power consumption for the different modes of the ultra-low-power families. The two dynamic modes run from flash and RAM. Then there are the four ultra-low-power modes, low-power run, low-power weight, active halt with RTC and halt. In all modes, the RAM content is preserved at wake-up and the reset system is included in the consumption and active mode. Consumption can be as low as 300 nanoamps with reset system, active RAM content and context preserved. Wake-up from halt is very fast at 5 microseconds. It's easy to develop on STM8L thanks to the many hardware tools available. Discovery kits are ideal boards to start with for STM8MCUs, allowing full access to STM8 programming with a single connection to the development PC and at a very low cost of $7. Evaluation boards are more expensive, but they put the STM8L microcontroller among a full set of companion chips matching the STM8 peripheral set, so granting the ability to fully evaluate the MCU. Finally, our ST-Link V2 probe allows the programming and debugging of the STM8LMCUs connected to the probe via our single wire swim protocol. For software tools, ST provides a free STM8 configuration tool with user-friendly GUI, which helps developers significantly reduce development effort, time and cost. As part of the STM-CUBE initiative to reduce development effort, time and cost for engineers, ST offers STM8-CUBE-MX, a user-friendly software tool that uses graphical wizards to configure STM8 microcontrollers. An STM8L microcontroller must be programmed. Therefore, an integrated development environment is required to compile and debug an application. STM8L users can choose from the portfolio of ST partners like Cosmic, IAR, iSystem or Resonance, or can simply use the STVD IDE available for free from ST. This free IDE can be easily complemented with the Cosmic-C compiler that is also completely free, whatever the STM8 MCU. Once the binary is built, the user can use programming software tools like our STVP or ST-Link utility, for instance, accessing the STM8L either through a probe like our ST-Link V2, or directly through the built-in STM8L bootloader feature. An IDE is used to debug an application typically by setting breakpoints. While this debugging method is very efficient, it's not ideal when it's not recommended to stop the application, for example, a motor control application. In such cases, a tool like our STM Studio is very useful as it can monitor application variables, possibly without being intrusive at all. Developers' lives get better if they are provided with embedded software bricks to speed up their application development. ST proposes many of these bricks for the STM8. Among these bricks, our standard peripheral libraries include not only all the software drivers to benefit the STM8 peripheral set, but also a whole set of examples demonstrating how to use the STM8. Moreover, these libraries are created using rules ensuring good code quality. Get connected with our STM8. Of course, the first place to go is www.st.com.stm8 in order to grab all ST information relative to this MCU family. If you're not sure about the exact STM8 to pick, you can use our MCU Finder application on mobiles and tablets, allowing you to check out the STM8 portfolio and identify the ideal one matching your needs. Let's meet together with other developers on ST forums, with an area dedicated to STM8. The STM8L is simple and smart. Discover more about the STM8L at st.com.stm8l. Thanks for your attention.
