216 MHz Cortex-M7 with 64 KB Flash — a surprising pairing
The 320K x 8 of RAM gives breathing room for frame buffers or packet queues, but the firmware image itself has to fit in that 64 KB unless you execute from external memory. This part is aimed at designs where the heavy lifting is in SRAM and the code footprint is lean — think a bootloader plus a small application, or a sensor fusion node that streams data over Ethernet.
Peripheral set and I/O — built for connectivity
The peripheral set also includes a LCD interface, DMA, and PWM, which supports direct drive of small displays or stepper motors.
Package and temperature grade — field-swappable in a 144-LQFP
Housed in a 144-LQFP (20x20 mm) — a gull-wing leaded package that is reworkable with a standard hot-air station and inspectable by eye. No hidden balls, no X-ray needed. The internal oscillator gets you running without an external crystal, though for Ethernet or CAN you will want a precision external clock for timing compliance.
Listed as Active. If you need a second source, ST's STM32F7 family has several pin-compatible density options (e.g., STM32F750N8T6 in the same 144-LQFP footprint) that differ in Flash or RAM size, but no direct second-source from another manufacturer exists for this exact order code.
