The STM32L462CEU6TR: It packs 512 KB of Flash and 160 KB of SRAM — enough for a real-time OS, a TCP/IP stack, and a moderate data buffer without external memory. The 10-channel 12-bit ADC and single 12-bit DAC cover typical sensor acquisition and analog output needs. Connectivity includes CANbus, I²C, SPI, UART/USART, USB, QSPI, and SAI — enough serial interfaces for an IoT gateway or a multi-protocol industrial node without external bridge chips.
The 48-UFQFN exposed-pad package (7x7 mm body) keeps the board footprint small while the thermal pad helps conduct heat to the PCB ground plane.
