Product details

The STM32F042K6U6: The 48 MHz core clock is the ceiling for this Cortex-M0.

Package and thermal pad — layout note

The pad is electrically connected to VSS on the die — do not float it, and ensure the PCB land pattern matches the supplier package drawing for solder-joint reliability.

No last-time-buy risk or obsolescence concern for new designs.

Frequently asked questions

Can STM32F042K6U6 be used as a USB device?

Yes, the connectivity set includes USB 2.0, and the internal oscillator is trimmed to 48 MHz — the exact clock required for USB full-speed operation — so no external crystal is needed for USB device mode.

How does STM32F042K6U6 compare to STM32F042C6?

The STM32F042C6 is the same die in a 48-pin LQFP package with more GPIO (38 I/O vs 26) and a wider ADC channel count. The STM32F042K6U6 in the 32-UFQFPN saves board area at the cost of I/O count — choose the K6U6 when space is tight and 26 pins suffice.
