STM32C0 is a new line of Cortex M0+ Microcontrollers this year. Low-end STM32 chips have been trying to dethrone the 8-bit crowd by offering a 32-bit ARM Cortex M0+ for some time, and I welcome this competition. STM32C0 is cost-optimized with 8-pin to 48-pin form factors, and targeting very low end with 6kB SRAM and 48 MHz clock speed.

SPI, UART, I2C, 4+ MHz XTAL and 32kHz XTAL support, multiple timers for PWM, 12-bit ADC with best case 2.5 Megasamples / second.

Not bad for 61-cents (quantity 1k) at Digikey, ehh?


I think the 8-bitters still seem to have more I/O features, but this is a pretty competitive 32-bit chip on the low end. ST-micro is selling this chip as "entry-level 32-bit", saying that you can keep code-compatibility as you scale up your projects. After all, ARM is ARM, be it a tiny Cortex M0+ or a higher end M33, M4 or M7 chip.

For people hoping to scale designs up and down, adding STM32C0 line chips is probably welcome to the STM32 hobbyists.

A community for everyone who works with microcontrollers from SOT23-6 PICs and ATTINYs to PICs, STMs, and ESPs. All microcontrollers and all users are welcome here. If you're just starting out, read some posts and ask some questions. If you're building cool projects post picture and share your work. If you're a professional tell us about your project and answer questions. Blog posts and updates are encouraged. Let's talk about programming languages, IDEs, and programmers. Post code, schematics, and board layouts.

RULES:

All Lemmy.ca rules apply here.

  1. Everyone (see rule 98) is welcome.

  2. If you’ve seen a question 100 times answer it the 101st time or ignore it. Even better, write a complete, detailed answer and suggest that the mod(s) pin it to the community.

  3. There is no best microcontroller, language, IDE, or programmer, only what works best for you. There will be no elitist bullshit here. See rule 98.

[Did you actually think there were 98 rules?]

  1. If you present something as fact and are asked to provide proof or a source provide proof or a source. Proof must be from a reliable source. If you fail to provide proof or a source your post or comment may be removed.

  2. Don’t be a dick. Yes, this is a catch-all rule.

  3. The mod(s) have the final say.
