Low cost MCU uses Cortex M0 core

The low cost STM32F0 family of MCUs combines a 32-bit Cortex-M0 core with enhanced peripherals for sensing, control, and consumer devices. The devices operate from 2.0 V to 3.6 V and have a 2.8 µa standby mode with the real-time clock running.

The MCUs have 16 to 64 Kbytes of flash, a 12-bit 1M sample/s A/D converter, a 12-bit D/A converter, and two analog comparators. They have a 4 to 32 MHz crystal oscillator and a 32 kHz oscillator, six PWM channels, I2C, UART, and SPI interfaces, a RT clock/calendar, a 5-channel DMA controller, and a 96-bit unique ID.
