 Hello and welcome to this presentation of our STM-8S series of 8-bit microcontrollers. They are intended to serve the demanding industrial and mass market segments. Simply smarter in terms of architecture and features, this series is now established as an industry standard on the market. The STM-8S series is part of ST's 10-year Product Longevity Commitment Program for STM-32 and STM-8 microcontrollers. STM-8S microcontrollers are inherently robust and reliable, and come at an attractive price. They offer outstanding performance and features, including up to 20 MIPS at 24 MHz, excellent code density, embedded flash memory with true data EE-Prom embedded debug function, and low-cost development tools. The rich number of IOs offered and the performance of its embedded peripherals is recognized as a differentiating key point versus competition. The STM-8 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 three-stage pipeline, thus aligning performance and code compactness. STM-8S microcontrollers come in four lines. The application-specific line targets applications requiring more analog features and embedded firmware. The performance line features higher performance and more peripherals. The access line offers a more limited set of features, and the value line is optimized to address lower price markets, going a step further in terms of the price-to-performance ratio. Our product portfolio offers a wide range of memory sizes and packaging types. Ranging from 4 to 128 kilobytes of flash memory, the STM-8S is available in 20-pin to 80-pin packages and now expanding to the SO8 package. The table shown here presents the full set of part numbers available. The STM-8S core operates at up to 24 MHz in the industrial and extended temperature ranges from minus 40 to plus 125 degrees Celsius. The block diagram here shows all the embedded peripherals. The flash memory ranges from 4 to 128 kilobytes. The RAM memory is specified up to 6 kilobytes and the EE-Prom memory up to 2 kilobytes. Tools and software libraries are essential to simplifying and speeding up the customer's development cycle. We have designed specific and innovative tools for this purpose, as well as dedicated software libraries. For a thorough evaluation of STM-8S microcontrollers, our evaluation board demonstrates all the capabilities of the core and is ideal for evaluating the peripherals including the CAN, I2C, SPI, USART, ERDA, and LIN interfaces. The order code for the evaluation board is STM-8-128-eval. To discover our microcontroller quickly, we recommend our inexpensive USB programmer and debugger, the STM-8S Discovery. An application-specific kit for motor control application is available using the STM-8-128MC kit order code. For software tools, ST provides a free STM-8 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 engineer's development cycle, ST offers STM-8-Cube-MX, a user-friendly software tool that uses graphical wizards to configure STM-8 microcontrollers. An STM-8 microcontroller must be programmed, therefore an integrated development environment is required to compile and debug an application. STM-8 users can choose from the portfolio of ST partners, like Cosmic, IAR, iSystem, or Raisenonts, 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 STM-8 MCU. Once the binary is built, the user can use programming software tools, like our STVP or Flasher, for instance, accessing the STM-8 either through a probe, such as stlinkv2, or directly through the built-in STM-8 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, like, for instance, a motor control application. In such cases, our STM studio tool is very useful, as it can monitor application variables without being intrusive at all. In addition to our free motor control library, a full range of firmware is available for free download from ST's website. For example, developers in satellite dish applications have access to our dedicated solution for LNB head control, and they can download and integrate it in their application codes with our support.
