STM32F030RCT6

The STM32F030RCT6 from STMicroelectronics is the highest-density member of the STM32F030 value-line family, featuring a 48MHz Arm Cortex-M0 core with 256KB Flash and 32KB SRAM in a 64-pin LQFP package. It offers 51 I/O pins (5V tolerant), a 16-channel 12-bit ADC, 8 timers including an advanced-control timer for motor PWM, 6 USARTs, 2 SPI, and 2 I2C (one with Fast Mode Plus at 1Mbps). The 5-channel DMA, hardware CRC, and calendar RTC round out a comprehensive peripheral set for industrial and consumer applications at a value-line price point.

The STM32F030RCT6 uses the Arm Cortex-M0 core, a 32-bit RISC processor optimized for low-cost and low-power embedded applications. The 3-stage pipeline executes most 16-bit Thumb instructions in a single cycle. The nested vectored interrupt controller (NVIC) provides deterministic interrupt handling with minimal latency. The 256KB Flash stores the application code, while the 32KB SRAM with hardware parity supports data operations. The AHB/APB bus matrix connects the core to peripherals through two APB buses running at up to 48MHz. The advanced-control timer (TIM1) supports 6-channel PWM with complementary outputs and dead-time insertion for motor drive applications. The I2C1 interface includes SMBus 2.0/PMBus 1.1 hardware support with CRC generation and timeout detection.
