 Why choose the STM32L4 series

STM32L4 architecture reaches 100 MIPS thanks to an Arm®

ULP and performance
+ Cortex®-M4 core with FPU and ST ART Accelerator at 80 MHz,
booster while keeping best-in-class, ultra-low-power (ULP) performance

+ Innovation Innovative peripherals are embedded to optimize the BOM cost.

1 Mbyte of Flash and 320 Kbytes of SRAM with safety and security
+ Integration and safety features, many smart peripherals, advanced and low power analog
circuits in packages as small as 2.58 x 3.07 mm.

Pin-to-pin compatibility with the STM32L4 and STM32L4+ and

+ Long term investment integrated in the STM32 ecosystem.
