It integrates a rich peripheral set including Ethernet MAC, CAN 2.0B, USB OTG HS/FS, and an external memory interface (EBI/EMI), making it a single-chip candidate for industrial gateways, HMI panels, and motor-control drives that need both compute headroom and wired connectivity. The 176+25 UFBGA (10x10 mm) package packs 140 I/O into a compact footprint, but the fine-pitch BGA demands careful PCB layout and a controlled reflow profile.
For dual-sourcing flexibility, the base product number STM32F417 covers multiple density and package variants within the same family; the closest pin-compatible sibling is the STM32F417IGT6, which differs only in the shipping medium (Tray vs Tape & Reel) and is otherwise electrically identical.
Connectivity and peripheral headroom
The STM32F417IGH6TR includes Ethernet MAC with dedicated DMA, CAN 2.0B, USB OTG (both FS and HS with ULPI), and an 8-bit/16-bit external memory interface that can glue in SRAM, NOR Flash, or LCD panels. The 12-bit ADC array offers 24 channels, and two 12-bit DACs are on-chip. The internal oscillator can run the core, but for Ethernet or USB operation an external crystal is recommended for clock accuracy.
The 176+25 UFBGA (10x10 mm) is a 201-ball fine-pitch BGA with a 0.5 mm ball pitch.
