Memory and speed — sizing the BOM
256 KB of Flash and 24 KB of RAM set a clear firmware budget. The 24 MHz Cortex-M3 core handles moderate control loops and communication stacks; if your application needs USB or runs a real-time OS with several tasks, check whether the RAM floor is enough. The built-in ADC and DAC offload external converters, which simplifies the analog front-end and saves board space.
