MCU built-in graphics functionality is necessary, the photo shows the use of ST's new MCU development board, smooth handling video screen.
Therefore, as the core of the operation of these intelligent networked devices, MCUs must also achieve the best balance between operational efficiency and power consumption performance, especially the healthy wristbands and smartphones currently available on the market Central controllers for a wide range of products, such as watches, small medical devices, smart meters, and smart industrial sensors, all require complex functions, fast response, and minimum downtime necessary for battery charging, all of which make for ultra- Low-power MCU, has become the key to product success or not.And look at the current MCU design, can be divided into four key needs, namely higher performance, ultra-low power consumption, graphics processing, and high degree of integration.
Higher performance, of course, is to provide more computing power, while the premise is to maximize performance, while maintaining ultra-low power consumption. Performance and power consumption, which is actually at both ends of the balance, the general treatment Device, you want to get more computing power, energy consumption is bound to increase, and to maintain ultra-low power consumption, it is bound to sacrifice efficiency.How to strike a balance between the two, and even further to optimize the performance and power consumption , In the design is really a kung fu.
In response to this demand, STMicroelectronics introduced the new STM32L4 + family of ultra-low-power microcontrollers, a new generation of STM32L4 microcontrollers that deliver up to 150DMIPS of operational performance with up to 120MHz operating frequency for health Central controllers for a wide range of products such as wristbands, smartwatches, small medical devices, smart meters, smart industrial sensors, etc. These applications require complex functions, fast response, downtime for the shortest possible battery charge, Efficient STM32L4 + become the best choice.
The new STM32L4 + family of STM32L4 microcontrollers offers up to 150DMIPS (233 ULPMark-CP) of operational performance with up to 120MHz operation for use in health bracelets, smart watches, small medical devices, smart meters, smart industrial sensors , Etc. These applications require complex functions, fast response, and minimum downtime necessary for battery charging, all of which make the highly efficient STM32L4 + the ideal solution.
The STM32L4 + offers application designers the functionality they need to achieve the following: Powerful computing performance, maximum on-chip memory capacity at the same level, and state-of-the-art graphics for smooth user experience New Chrom-GRC graphics controller Can handle circular displays as efficiently as TFT-LCDs without wasting memory resources by managing pixels that have never been seen. On the chip is also the innovative Chrom-ART Accelerator graphics feature of STMicroelectronics Enhance technology.
Michel Buffa, general manager of STMicroelectronics' microcontroller products group, said that we expect smart objects to fit seamlessly into our lives and that these products anticipate our needs without requiring us to pay too much attention to them.Using STMicroelectronics At the same level of maximum storage capacity and ultra-efficient graphics capabilities, STM32L4 + family of microcontrollers to achieve more complex functions, more smooth human-computer interaction of a new class of intelligent products.
The STM32L4 + family of products offers user-rich and market-proven STM32 development ecosystems to help customers simplify designs and reduce time-to-market. Developing ecosystems includes price-conscious prototyping boards, software examples, free tools, high-quality third parties Hardware and integrated development environment (Integrated Development Environment, IDE), which are part of the ST Partner Program.Application software previously developed for the previous generation of STM32L4 microcontrollers can be run on a new generation of products without modification, and at the same time But also improve performance.
