216 MHz Cortex-M7 with 1 MB Flash — what it means for the BOM
The STM32F746VGH6 is a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M7 MCU from STMicroelectronics, clocked at 216 MHz with 1 MB Flash and 320 KB SRAM. That core speed puts it in the mid-range of the STM32F7.
Connectivity and peripheral set
On the connectivity side, this MCU carries Ethernet MAC, USB OTG, CANbus, SPI, I²C, UART/USART, and an SAI for audio. The EBI/EMI interface can drive a parallel TFT display or external NOR/NAND Flash. The SPDIF-Rx input and I²S ports make it a candidate for an audio processor or a networked media bridge. The 16-channel 12-bit ADC and dual 12-bit DAC handle sensor acquisition and analog output without an external converter.
Temperature grade and deployment environment
Rated for -40°C to 85°C ambient, this part suits industrial control cabinets, outdoor telecom enclosures, and factory-floor equipment. It is not qualified to AEC-Q100, so it is not.
