STMicroelectronics’ STM8S family of general-purpose 8-bit Flash microcontrollers offers ideal solutions for industrial and appliance market requirements. An advanced core version combined with a 3-stage pipeline ranks the STM8S microcontroller in the top position for performance versus cost. The true embedded EEPROM and the calibrated RC oscillator bring a significant cost effectiveness to the majority of applications. An easy-to-use and intuitive development environment contributes improving time to market.

An advanced 130nm embedded EEPROM technology
ST-proprietary embedded non-volatile memory technology, excellent characteristics of EEPROM memory with a performing high-density CMOS process and including best analog features
A new set of state-of-the-art peripherals
Including essential connectivity peripherals such as high-speed SPI and I²C, USART, LIN-UART, CAN, IrDa, smartcard and CAN, as well as high-end 16-bit timers, fast and accurate ADC
A rich offer of development tools
From entry level configurations benefiting from the single-wire debugging interface up to sophisticated emulators featuring trace, profiling and code coverage analysis. Compilers are supplied by third parties and integrate in the IDEs.
The STM8S family is available in two fully compatible lines: the Performance line and the Access line, which has all essential peripherals, but with reduced cost by removing extra features in 4- to 32-Kbyte program memory.
