Evaluate STM32H5 MCUs with new Discovery Kit

STMicroelectronics has released a new development board that enables developers to explore a range of applications with the STM32H5 microcontrollers (MCUs). Applications include high-performance processing and advanced security in smart sensors, smart appliances, industrial controllers, networking equipment, personal electronics and medical devices.

The STM32H5 features the Arm Cortex-M33 embedded MCU core running at 250 MHz and is the first MCU to support ST’s Secure Manager turnkey system-on-chip security solutions. These include the Arm TrustZone security and ST’s STM32Trust framework to provide trusted storage, cryptography, attestation and updates, embedded with side-channel protected hardware cryptographic accelerators, targeting recognized security certifications, PSA Certified Level 3 and GlobalPlatform SESIP3.

With the STM32H573I-DK Discovery Kit, developers can evaluate the integrated features of the STM32H5 MCUs, such as analog peripherals, timers, the ST ART (Adaptive Real-Time) Accelerator, media interfaces and mathematical accelerators for new designs. Applications include industrial programmable logic controllers (PLC), motor drives and smart controllers for appliances such as air conditioners, refrigerators and washing machines. Other applications include alarm controllers, communication hubs and smart lighting controls.

The discovery kit includes an STM32H5 MCU, color touch display, digital microphone and interfaces such as USB, Ethernet and Wi-Fi. Other features include an audio codec, flash memory and headers for connecting expansion shields and daughterboards.

Also available is the STM32CubeH5 MCU software package that consolidates the components required to develop an application on the STM32H5, including examples and application code. The package is integrated into the STM32Cube ecosystem, which also provides additional software for application development. ST also offers the STM32CubeMX tool for configuring and initializing the MCU.

The Discovery Kit and the H5 Nucleo Board NUCLEO-H563ZI are now available from ST’s eStore and authorized distributors. The Discovery Kit board is priced at $98.75 and the Nucleo Board at $28.75.
