The STM32WBA series features TrustZone? technology, which provides a high level of security while protecting data?& IP, and preventing hacker attacks or device cloning.

Next-generation Ultra-Low-Power Flagship Series: STM32U599/5A9 and STM32U535/545

The STM32U5 series is a low-power STM32 product series based on 40nm technology, featuring an efficient Arm? Cortex?-M33 core and ST's proprietary innovative energy-saving technology and on-chip IP modules?to enhance performance while reducing power consumption. This flagship product line not only meets the strict power and performance requirements of smart applications, but also incorporates cutting-edge technologies for emerging applications to further enhance device security. It is also equipped with a 2.5D graphics accelerator to enable rich graphics interfaces and improve user experience. With advanced security features based on hardware protection, it can meet the requirements of PSA and SESIP (IoT platform security evaluation standards) 3-level assurance level.

The new STM32U599 and STM32U5A9 microcontrollers provide enhanced?performance and advanced graphics capabilities. The STM32U599/U5A9 embed ST's advanced 2.5D graphics accelerator NeoChrom graphics processing unit (GPU), which can help developers easily implement and enhance GUI features such as simple and advanced drawing, 2D text copy, alpha blending, color format conversion, scaling/rotation, mapping 2D textures to 3D surfaces, and image format compression.

The STM32U535 and STM32U545 microcontrollers enrich the STM32 ultra-low-power STM32U5 series product portfolio. The STM32U535 series has a built-in 128 KB to 512 KB flash memory and pin packaging from 48 pins to 100 pins. The STM32U545 has a built-in 512 KB flash memory and additional support for hardware encryption acceleration engines (AES, PKA, and OTFDEC).

STM32C0 Series: Entry-Level 32-bit MCU for Price-Sensitive 8-bit Applications

The STM32C0 series?is an entry-level 32-bit MCU?designed for price-sensitive?typical 8-bit/16-bit applications, with simple peripherals, cost-effective, and very suitable for engineer development. Compared with similar products on the market, the STM32C0 has more powerful performance, reliable quality and stability, and a mature ecosystem of STM32, which is stable in supply and can accelerate product development and launch.
