NRND — still orderable, but plan the transition
The STM8AF62A6UCY is NRND, so it remains orderable for existing production runs and repairs.
128 KB Flash, 6 KB RAM, 2 KB EEPROM — memory for automotive control
Program memory is 128 KB of Flash, backed by 6 KB of SRAM and a separate 2 KB EEPROM block. The EEPROM is a practical advantage for automotive designs: calibration constants, fault codes, and trim values live in non-volatile storage without an external serial EEPROM. The Flash density supports moderate-size firmware stacks for LIN or basic CAN gateway nodes, though you will want to budget the 128 KB against your application code and bootloader overhead.
The 8-bit STM8 core runs at 24 MHz — enough for real-time control loops, LIN communication, and sensor polling. The wide supply range (3V to 5.5V) lets it run directly off an automotive battery rail without a regulator, though a clean 5V or 3.3V rail is preferred for noise-sensitive ADC readings.
AEC-Q100 qualified — automotive-grade assurance
This part is listed under the Automotive, AEC-Q100, STM8A series.
Package: 32-VFQFN exposed pad — rework notes
The 32-VFQFN package (5x5 mm body) with exposed thermal pad is a standard footprint for compact automotive modules.
