STMicroelectronics STM32H7 microcontrollers (MCUs)

STMicroelectronics has launched a high-performance device that combines the scalability and security of microprocessor-based systems with the integration of microcontrollers (MCUs). The STM32H7 microcontrollers (MCUs) enable producers of equipment like smart appliances, smart-building controllers and industrial automation to evolve their products quickly. Examples include adding colourful user interfaces and performing multiple functions simultaneously.

With a dedicated graphics processor and fast memory interfaces on-chip, the MCUs are designed to enhance the visual performance and responsiveness of future displays, enabling more engaging and interactive user experiences.

The STM32H7R and STM32H7S microcontrollers come with a range of security features needed to address Internet of Things (IoT) applications. They include protection against physical attacks, memory protection, code isolation to protect the application at runtime and platform authentication. The STM32H7S devices also integrate debug authentication and hardware cryptographic accelerators that support the latest algorithms to prevent unauthorised access to code and data. With these security features, the devices are targeting up to SESIP3 and PSA Level 3 certifications.

The STM32H7S8-DK demonstration and development platform, and the extendable NUCLEO-H7S3L8 MCU board, are available to accelerate building applications using the new devices.
