Product details

The wide supply range from 2.95 V to 5.5 V lets it drop into existing 5 V industrial buses or 3.3 V battery-powered designs without a level shifter on every I/O.

On-chip peripherals include a 10-bit ADC with four channels, a PWM timer, brown-out reset, and a watchdog — enough to run a BLDC sensorless commutation loop or a Modbus RTU slave without external glue logic.

Frequently asked questions

Is STM8S103K3U6 compatible with 5V logic?

Yes. The supply voltage range of 2.95 V to 5.5 V means the I/O pins are 5 V-tolerant when the MCU is powered at 5 V. No external level translator is needed for 5 V peripherals like a classic 74HC logic gate or an HD44780 LCD.

What are the alternatives to STM8S103K3U6?

Within the STM8S family, the STM8S103F3 series offers a smaller pin-count package (20-pin TSSOP) with the same core and memory, while the STM8S105 series steps up to 16 KB Flash and more I/O. Both are pin-compatible across the same package options where the pin count matches.
