Ultra-low power multi-modulation wireless STM32WL3x microcontrollers line now expanding.
Based on Arm Cortex®-M0+ core, sub-GHz radio, and wideband wake-up radio, STM32WL3x microcontrollers support multiple modulations and an IQ interface for custom modulations for even more flexibility.
The STM32WL3x is a highly integrated long-range wireless solution for IoT devices offering a simplified design approach and low power consumption for extended battery life.
It offers the essential features for wireless IoT devices, including:
- All-in-one application processor SoC. Optimizes the bill of materials (BOM), reducing the end device footprint and design complexity.
- Long-range connectivity with RX sensitivity up to -132 dBm, programmable TX power up to +20 dBm.
full flexibility
- Supports various modulations, includes an IQ interface for customized protocols, and complies with global radio frequency regulations for major sub-GHz ISM bands: 159–185 MHz¹, 276–319 MHz², 413–479 MHz, and 826–958 MHz.
battery life
- Extends battery life by reducing the power consumption of wireless applications: best-in-class low power transmit current (10 mA at 10 dBm), enabling 10 years battery life in many applications and the use of energy harvesting.
