Overview
The STM32F205ZCT6 is a high-performance microcontroller from STMicroelectronics, part of the STM32F20x family. It is based on the Arm® 32-bit Cortex®-M3 CPU, which operates at a frequency of up to 120 MHz. This microcontroller is distinguished by its adaptive real-time memory accelerator (ART Accelerator™), enabling 0-wait state execution performance from Flash memory. The device features extensive embedded memories, including up to 1 Mbyte of Flash memory, 512 bytes of OTP memory, and up to 128 + 4 Kbytes of SRAM. It also includes a flexible static memory controller supporting various memory types such as Compact Flash, SRAM, PSRAM, NOR, and NAND memories.
The STM32F205ZCT6 is equipped with a wide range of peripherals, including three 12-bit ADCs, two 12-bit DACs, multiple timers, and advanced communication interfaces like USB 2.0, Ethernet, and CAN. The device supports low-power modes and has a robust set of clock, reset, and supply management features. It is available in various package options, including the LQFP 144 package.
