216 MHz ARM Cortex-M7 — what the core clock buys you
The STM32F746ZET6 runs at 216 MHz with a single-cycle multiply-accumulate and hardware FPU.
Peripheral set for industrial connectivity and HMI
This MCU integrates Ethernet MAC, USB OTG (host/device), two CAN interfaces, multiple I²C and SPI buses, plus an SPDIF-Rx interface and a dedicated SAI for audio. The 114 general-purpose I/O lines, spread across a 144-LQFP package (20x20 mm body), give enough pins to connect a parallel TFT display, external SRAM or NOR Flash via the Flexible Memory Controller, and a handful of sensors or actuators without an external GPIO expander.
The base product number STM32F746 covers a family of density and package variants; the ZET6 suffix specifically identifies the 144-LQFP tray version with 512 KB Flash and 320 KB SRAM.
For buyers evaluating a BOM line, the active lifecycle means no supply-chain urgency from discontinuation — the decision rests on price and lead time, which are verified per order.
