256 KB Flash and 160 KB SRAM — sizing the firmware budget
The STM32L451CCU3TR: The 256 KB Flash and 160 KB SRAM support moderate firmware and data buffers.
Connectivity and analog — what is on the peripheral bus
The MCU includes CANbus, I²C, SPI, UART/USART, QSPI, and SAI interfaces, plus a 12-bit ADC with 10 channels and a 12-bit DAC. The QSPI interface can map an external Flash or RAM into the memory space, useful for data logging or code shadowing. The brown-out detect and watchdog peripherals are standard for safety-conscious designs.
Package and footprint — 48-UFQFN with exposed pad
Housed in a 48-UFQFN exposed-pad package (7x7 mm), this MCU is a surface-mount device with 38 I/O lines.
