Bringing high performance DSP & edge AI to ultra-low power designs

Bringing high performance DSP & edge AI to ultra-low power designs

The STM32U3B5/U3C5 line is built on an Arm® Cortex®‑M33 core and include 640 Kbytes of RAM and up to 2 Mbytes of dual‑bank flash.


The line integrates ST’s hardware signal processing (HSP) technology, accelerating DSP and AI tasks while drastically improving power efficiency, to deliver edge AI performance typically found only on larger, high‑power chips.

Key benefits

Extended battery life

Reduce dynamic power consumption with near-threshold and hardware processing technology.

Cost-effective design

Simplify PCB design, reduce costs with diverse packages, and leverage a robust development ecosystem to accelerate time to market.

Enhanced security

Secure cryptographic keys with hardware protection. Ensure product authenticity using in-factory attestation and robust security.
