The STM8AL31E88TAY is an 8-bit automotive MCU with STM8 core at 16 MHz. It has 64 KB Flash, 4 KB RAM, and 2 KB EEPROM.
At 16 MHz the STM8 core executes most instructions in one or two clock cycles. The 64 KB Flash and 4 KB RAM support a single firmware image.
Analog integration saves board space
With 25 analog input channels on the 12-bit ADC and two 12-bit DAC outputs, this MCU can read a dozen temperature or pressure sensors and drive two analog actuators directly. The 48-LQFP package (7x7 mm) leaves room for the passives and protection diodes on a compact automotive PCB.
