The STM32F103V8T6TR: The 80 I/O lines in the 100-LQFP package give enough headroom for sensor arrays, display interfaces, and parallel bus connections in a single-chip design.
Peripheral set and connectivity — where it fits
This MCU integrates a rich set of peripherals: DMA for memory-to-peripheral transfers without CPU load, motor-control PWM for brushless DC or stepper drives, plus PVD, POR, and PDR for supply supervision. The internal oscillator reduces external BOM count, though a crystal can be added for tighter timing accuracy.
The 16-channel 12-bit ADC covers analog input acquisition for current sensing, temperature monitoring, or potentiometer feedback without an external converter.
