The STM32F479NGH6 is an STMicroelectronics STM32F4-series MCU built around a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M4 single-core processor running at 180 MHz. It packs 1 MB of Flash and 384 KB of SRAM, giving firmware room for complex control algorithms and a generous data buffer for Ethernet or display frame storage.
216-TFBGA — layout and handling notes
It requires a multi-layer PCB with microvias or blind vias for fanout; hand-soldering is not practical.
The base product number STM32F479 covers the full family; density and package variants share the same core peripherals, so a pin-compatible drop-in within the family is straightforward if the BOM needs a different Flash or SRAM size.
Peripheral set and data converters
The peripheral list includes brown-out detect, POR, PWM, WDT, DMA, I²S, LCD interface, and a full set of timers. The internal oscillator is available, but for Ethernet or USB operation an external crystal is recommended for clock accuracy.
