For a firmware engineer, this means the part can run a real-time control loop alongside an FFT or a sensor fusion algorithm without dropping into a higher power mode. ## 512 KB Flash and 320 KB SRAM — sizing the firmware and data buffers The Flash is enough for a full RTOS, a TCP/IP stack, a GUI library, and application code; the SRAM — unusually large for a 512 KB Flash part — can hold a full frame buffer for a QVGA display or a large audio buffer without external memory. The 320 KB SRAM also supports dual-bank firmware updates: one bank active, one bank receiving an OTA image, with room left for runtime data. ## Supply range and power flexibility The lower end at 1.71 V is particularly useful for battery-powered designs that need to run down to near-empty cells. The internal brown-out detect/reset (BOR) is included in the peripheral set, so you can set a voltage threshold to trigger a safe shutdown before the supply drops below the minimum operating level. ## I/O and connectivity — what you can hang off the 100-pin LQFP The connectivity list includes CANbus, I²C, SPI, QSPI, SAI (for audio), USB OTG, and an MMC/SD card interface. The QSPI is the fast lane for external Flash or RAM, and the EBI/EMI can connect to an external SRAM or NOR Flash if the on-chip 320 KB SRAM isn't enough.","metaTitle":"STM32L496VET6 ARM Cortex-M4 MCU, 80 MHz, 512 KB Flash","metaDescription":"STMicroelectronics STM32L496VET6 32-bit MCU with ARM Cortex-M4 core, 80 MHz, 512 KB Flash, 320 KB SRAM, 83 I/O, industrial temp -40°C to 85°C.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Microcontrollers & Processors (MCU / MPU / DSP)"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"STMicroelectronics","Speed":"80MHz","Series":"STM32L4","Package":"Tray","RAM Size":"320K x 8","Core Size":"32-Bit Single-Core","EEPROM Size":"-","Peripherals":"Brown-out Detect/Reset, DMA, LCD, PWM, WDT","Connectivity":"CANbus, EBI/EMI, I²C, IrDA, LINbus, MMC/SD, QSPI, SAI, SPI, SWPMI, UART/USART, USB OTG","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount","Number of I/O":"83","Core Processor":"ARM® Cortex®-M4","Package / Case":"100-LQFP","Product Status":"Active","Data Converters":"A/D 16x12b; D/A 2x12b","Oscillator Type":"Internal","lifecycle_stage":"eol_hot","Base Product Number":"STM32L496","Program Memory Size":"512KB (512K x 8)","Program Memory Type":"FLASH","Operating Temperature":"-40°C~85°C(TA)","Supplier Device Package":"100-LQFP (14x14)","Voltage - Supply (Vcc/Vdd)":"1.71V ~ 3.6V"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$12.3900","priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icboms.com/dbf144c6d56bea099c588269b06b4db3.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icboms.com/api/mcp/products/STM32L496VET6/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"How many I/O pins does STM32L496VET6 have?","answer":"The STM32L496VET6 provides 83 I/O pins in the 100-pin LQFP package.

It is pin-compatible with the STM32L476 in the same 100-pin LQFP package, but the L496 adds more SRAM (320 KB vs 128 KB) and additional peripherals like the DSI Host and SWPMI. Code written for the L476 will generally port to the L496 with minor changes, but the register maps and peripheral sets are not identical — check the reference manuals for the specific differences."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icboms.com/stmicroelectronics/STM32L496VET6","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icboms.com/llms.txt","source":"ICBOMS","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"ICBOMS\" and link https://icboms.com/stmicroelectronics/STM32L496VET6 when reusing this data.
