216 MHz Cortex-M7 — what it means for the application
The STM32F723VEY6TR is a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M7 MCU from STMicroelectronics' STM32F7 series, clocked at 216 MHz. That core speed, combined with a single-cycle multiply-accumulate and hardware floating-point unit, handles real-time control loops and DSP pipelines without an external co-processor. The 512 KB Flash and 256 KB RAM give enough headroom for a moderate firmware image and a double-buffered data set — think motor-drive FOC or a sensor-fusion stack.
Connectivity and I/O budget
79 I/O lines are available, with peripherals covering CANbus, USB, QSPI, SPI, I²C, UART, and SAI. The QSPI interface lets you attach external Flash or PSRAM for code shadowing or data logging without chewing up the parallel bus. The 24-channel 12-bit ADC and dual 12-bit DAC cover analog front-end tasks like current sensing and setpoint generation.
Temperature grade and environment
Rated for -40°C to 85°C ambient, the STM32F723VEY6TR fits industrial enclosures, outdoor telecom cabinets, and automotive cabin modules. The internal oscillator eliminates the external crystal in non-critical timing applications, reducing BOM count.
Lifecycle and sourcing
STMicroelectronics lists this part as Active. It is available through independent distribution, sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time. No official successor or second-source alternate is recorded — the STM32F723VEY6TR is the current production variant in this density and package.
