What this MCU brings to a low-power BOM
The STM32L072RBH6 is a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M0+ microcontroller from ST's STM32L0 ultra-low-power series, clocked at 32 MHz. It carries 128 KB of Flash program memory, 20 KB of SRAM, and an integrated 6 KB EEPROM — enough to store calibration constants or configuration parameters without an external serial EEPROM chip on the board. The 64-TFBGA (5x5 mm) package keeps the footprint small, suited for handheld or sensor-node designs where board area is tight. Supply range from 1.65 V to 3.6 V lets it run directly from a single Li-ion cell or two alkaline batteries, and the operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C covers industrial and outdoor enclosures. On-chip peripherals include a 15-channel 12-bit ADC, two 12-bit DACs, multiple I²C, SPI, and UART/USART interfaces plus USB, making it a fit for sensor aggregation, data logging, or simple control loops.
32 MHz Cortex-M0+ — enough for the job, not overkill
The Cortex-M0+ core runs at 32 MHz. The 20 KB SRAM supports moderate data buffering.

Lifecycle and supply position
The STM32L072RBH6 carries an Active lifecycle status, meaning the manufacturer continues to produce and support this order code. No last-time-buy or end-of-life notice is in effect. For a BOM line that needs a stable, long-term MCU supply, this part is in the standard production window — no urgency to stockpile or qualify a replacement.
