The devices will be called STM32C071, are scheduled to arrive by mid-2024, to be followed by 256kbyte flash STM32C091 models sampling later that year.
This is not to say that the company is deserting 8bit MCUs: “ST remains dedicated to its STM8 series,” it said. “Some companies need the eerprom available in our 8bit MCUs, while others depend on the AEC-Q10x automotive qualification of some of our devices.”
While the smallest 32C0 has 16kbyte flash and 6kbyte ram, STM32C071 will put 24kbyte of ram alongside its 128kbyte of flash.
