216 MHz Cortex-M7 — what that buys the BOM
The STM32F769NGH6 is a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M7 single-core MCU from STMicroelectronics' STM32F7 series, clocked at 216 MHz with a 1 MB Flash and 512 KB RAM memory map. That core speed places it in the high-performance tier for Cortex-M parts — enough headroom for real-time graphics on the integrated LCD controller, Ethernet packet processing without a separate network coprocessor, and DSP-style math for audio over SAI or SPDIF. The 168 I/O pins in a 216-TFBGA (13×13 mm) package give board designers the routing flexibility to connect external memory via EBI/EMI or QSPI while still having plenty of GPIO for sensors and actuators in a factory-automation or HMI panel.
Connectivity set — gateway-class without external bridges
This part integrates Ethernet MAC, USB OTG, dual CANbus, SAI, SPDIF, and QSPI on-die. For a BOM planner, that means no external PHY or USB controller for most designs — just a physical-layer transceiver. The MMC/SD/SDIO interface supports on-board storage for data logging or firmware-over-the-air staging. The 24-channel 12-bit ADC and dual 12-bit DAC cover analog front-end tasks like current-sense or audio output without a separate codec IC.
The lifecycle stage is eol_hot. ST lists the product status as Active.
