The recommended operating voltage range for the STX715 is 2.7V to 5.5V, although it can tolerate a voltage range of 2.5V to 6.0V for short periods.
To ensure the internal oscillator's stability and accuracy, it's recommended to use a high-quality external crystal oscillator or a ceramic resonator, and to follow the recommended layout and decoupling guidelines in the datasheet.
The STX715's I/O pins can sink or source up to 20mA per pin, with a total current limit of 100mA for all I/O pins combined.
The STX715's GPIO pins can be configured as inputs or outputs using the PxMODER and PxOTYPE registers. The PxMODER register sets the pin mode (input, output, or alternate function), while the PxOTYPE register sets the output type (push-pull or open-drain).
The internal pull-up and pull-down resistors on the STX715 are used to weakly pull the I/O pins to a logic level when they are configured as inputs. This helps to prevent floating inputs and reduce power consumption.
