STMicroelectronics STM32MP1 Series Microprocessors | DigiKey Daily

STMicroelectronics offers their STM32MP1 series microprocessors with Linux OS for industrial and IoT applications. This series embeds a dual Arm Cortex-A7, a Cortex-M4, and a 3D GPU. Its flexible architecture allows for high processing and real-time tasks in a single chip. Additionally, it significantly reduces development time due to ST’s mainlined, open-source Linux distribution and STM32Cube toolset specially upgraded for Cortex-A7 Linux MPU development. ICs are available in a large package for helping to achieve the lowest PCB cost structure and smallest footprint. Other benefits include advanced security features, advanced tools, a rich set of digital and analog peripherals, an integrated dedicated power management companion IC, IC packages compatible with low-cost PCB technologies—down to 4-layer plated-through-hole PCBs, and more.
