“ IfI could
only
rely on a simple solution to
design high-end, dynamic
displays”

This is where we come in

STM32U5 lets developers
streamline the development of
advanced GUIs.
 Enabling more dynamic UIs
with dedicated STM32U5 MCU lines
High integration High performance
• Up to 4 Mbytes of internal flash Advanced graphic accelerators,
memory such as next-gen NeoChrom
GPU for vector graphics.
• Up to 3 Mbytes of RAM

Enabling:
• Logo animations
Cost-effective approach • Multiple font sizes (supports
• Less memory usage readability)
• One-chip solution – No external • Map navigation (zoom in/out)
memories • MJPEG Codec: video
playback (service/instruction
• Simple electronic design (4-layer PCB)
videos)
• Small form factor
• Easier engineering

 Smoother and richer graphics
with NeoChrom GPU
NeoChrom GPU
NeoChrom GPU offloads the CPU from the graphic
computations, freeing up the memory and boosting
performance.
Fully supported in the X-CUBE-TOUCHGFX

Enabling outstanding graphics on STM32, such as:

• Simple & advanced drawing

• 2D Copy
• Alpha blending
• Color format conversion
• Scaling, Rotation
• Perspective correct texture mapping​
Watch the video • Image format compression
