ST72C215G2B6 datasheet by STMicroelectronics

ST72C215G2B6 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum clock frequency that can be used with this microcontroller?
  The ST72C215G2B6 can operate up to 16 MHz with an external clock source, but the internal oscillator can only reach up to 8 MHz.
• How much power does the microcontroller consume in sleep mode?
  The ST72C215G2B6 consumes approximately 10 μA in sleep mode, making it suitable for battery-powered applications.
• Can I use the internal oscillator as a clock source for the UART?
  No, the internal oscillator is not suitable for generating a stable clock signal for the UART. An external clock source is recommended for UART communication.
• What is the maximum amount of current that can be sourced from the I/O pins?
  The I/O pins of the ST72C215G2B6 can source up to 20 mA of current, but it's recommended to limit the current to 10 mA to ensure reliable operation.
• Is the ST72C215G2B6 compatible with 5V logic levels?
  No, the ST72C215G2B6 is a 3.3V device and is not compatible with 5V logic levels. Level shifters or voltage dividers may be required to interface with 5V devices.
