42-channel ADC and 7-channel DAC — analog headroom for multi-loop control
This part carries a 42-channel 12-bit ADC and a 7-channel 12-bit DAC, which is a lot of analog I/O for a 100-pin package. If your design samples multiple current-sense resistors, thermocouples, or LVDT feedbacks simultaneously, you can avoid external muxes. The DAC channels are useful for setting comparator thresholds or driving analog actuators directly.
Connectivity and peripheral set
On the digital side, you get CANbus, I²C, SPI, UART/USART, QSPI, and IrDA — enough for sensor fusion, motor-drive comms, or fieldbus gateways. With 86 GPIOs, you can map a parallel LCD or a bank of optocoupler inputs without a port expander.
Not automotive-qualified, but fine for most commercial and industrial environments.
STMicroelectronics lists the STM32G474VET6TR with an active product status. For production planning, this is a safe choice for a multi-year run.
