00 — Overview

What the STM32F030 family does

The STM32F030x4/x6/x8/xC are 32-bit microcontrollers featuring an Arm Cortex-M0 core running up to 48 MHz. These devices offer 16 to 256 Kbytes of Flash memory, 4 to 32 Kbytes of SRAM, and operate on a 2.4-3.6 V supply. Key specifications include a 12-bit ADC with 16 channels, up to two I2C interfaces, six USARTs, and 55 fast I/Os. The family supports low-power modes like Sleep and Standby, making them suitable for battery-powered applications requiring precise timing and multiple communication protocols.
