In September 2011, STMicroelectronics launched its new STM32 F4 series of microcontrollers.
Features and USP: The specific technical benefits of the STM32 F4 series include ultra fast data transfers, with a seven layer multi-AHB bus matrix and multi-DMA controllers, which allow concurrent execution and data transfers. The integrated single precision FPU boosts the execution of control algorithms, adds more features to applications, improves code efficiency, reduces time to market, eliminates scaling and saturation, and allows the use of meta language tools. The F4 series has extra flexibility to reduce power consumption in applications requiring both high processing power and low power performance when running at low voltage or on rechargeable batteries.
