FPD.DEV / Microcontrollers
STM32 Microcontrollers
Match control, sensing and display needs to the right STM32 family. FPD.DEV helps turn the device choice into a practical board, firmware and interface plan.
Discuss your application →A short description is enough to start. We can help clarify the requirements.
Compare selected options.
| Family | Core / clock ceiling | Memory options | Good starting point |
|---|---|---|---|
| STM32G4 PN: MCU-03001-00 | Cortex-M4 / 170 MHz | 32–512 KB Flash; up to 128 KB RAM | Mixed-signal control and sensing |
| STM32U5 PN: MCU-03002-00 | Cortex-M33 / 160 MHz | 128 KB–4 MB Flash; up to 3 MB RAM | Low-power instruments and selected graphics applications |
| STM32H7 PN: MCU-03003-00 | Cortex-M7 / up to 600 MHz; selected dual-core devices | 64 KB–2 MB Flash; up to 1.4 MB RAM | Higher-performance control and display interfaces |
Save a family reference for review. We will confirm the exact device and ordering code with you.

Where it can fit.
Display and touch integration
Coordinate the panel, touch controller, backlight and host communications.
Battery-powered equipment
Balance duty cycle, wake-up time and peripheral power against the application.
Application examples are starting points for evaluation, not a statement of qualification or certification.
From platform choice to a working system.
Start with display resolution, frame-buffer needs, I/O timing and power budget. We can review MCU selection, schematics, firmware architecture, communications and bring-up. Graphics support depends on the selected MCU, external memory and display interface.
If sourcing origin matters, include it in your inquiry. We prefer suitable U.S.-made options and can evaluate alternatives; manufacturing origin must be verified for the actual part and supply route.
Tell us what you are building.
Share the application, display or I/O needs, and any timing or quantity target. Uncertain details can wait for the conversation.
