Memory and data converter sizing for the BOM
The STM32L4P5CGU6P: The 1 MB Flash and 320 KB SRAM support OTA updates and double-buffered graphics. The 12-bit ADC with 16 channels and dual 12-bit DACs cover sensor conditioning and closed-loop control.
Package and footprint — 48-UFQFPN with exposed pad
Housed in a 48-UFQFN exposed-pad package (7x7 mm body), this MCU suits space-constrained designs where board area is at a premium. The exposed thermal pad needs a via stitch to the ground plane for heat dissipation — without it, continuous operation above 85°C ambient may push the junction beyond the rated limit. The 0.5 mm pitch requires careful solder paste volume control during assembly.
