36 MHz ARM Cortex-M3 with 32 KB Flash — what the specs mean for your BOM
This MCU is suited for cost-sensitive industrial control, sensor nodes, and general-purpose embedded applications where the 36 MHz core and 32 KB Flash provide adequate headroom for moderate-complexity firmware without the overhead of a higher-performance part.
Obsolete — planning for the last buy or a drop-in replacement
The STM32F101R6T6 is officially marked as Obsolete in the lifecycle record. This means STMicroelectronics has discontinued production and there is no ongoing factory supply. Stock that surfaces should be verified for date-code freshness and authenticity — the last-time-buy window has closed, so any available units are from distributor or OEM inventory that was never consumed. A full qualification of any replacement is required before committing the BOM.
