8-bit MCU for automotive and industrial control — 128 KB Flash, 24 MHz, CAN and LIN onboard
NRND — plan a replacement for new designs
For a new BOM, evaluate a pin-compatible sibling within the STM8A family that carries an active lifecycle status.
The 128 KB Flash is sized for control firmware with a CAN/LIN stack and a modest bootloader; the 2 KB EEPROM holds calibration constants and fault logs without external storage. The 24 MHz core clock delivers about 20 MIPS — enough for a real-time control loop at a few kHz with headroom for protocol handling. The 10-channel, 10-bit ADC covers analog sensor inputs like temperature or position feedback.
Package and mounting — 48-LQFP footprint
The STM8AF52A8TAX is supplied in a 48-lead LQFP package (0.5 mm pitch) for surface-mount assembly.
