72 MHz Cortex-M3 with industrial temperature range
The STM32F103R8T7TR: Peripherals include DMA, motor control PWM, a temperature sensor, and watchdog timers (PDR, POR, PVD).
64 KB Flash — sizing the firmware budget
The 64 KB Flash (64K x 8) stores application firmware. The 20K x 8 SRAM supports buffers or a modest heap.
Data converters and I/O count
An integrated 12-bit ADC with 16 multiplexed channels handles analog sensor inputs — current sensing, potentiometer feedback, or temperature monitoring — without an external ADC. The 51 I/O pins are enough to interface with a parallel LCD, keypad matrix, or multiple SPI/I²C peripherals while leaving headroom for debug and status LEDs.
