Eight-pin microcontrollers offer numerous peripheral features. However, the maximum number of I/O pins available is often limited to six, since two pins would be required for the chip's power supply.
STMicroelectronics has added 8-pin packages to its STM32 microcontroller family, enabling designers to leverage 32-bit performance and low-power features in a small package for simple embedded designs ...
New larger microcontroller includes 42 inputs, 32 outputs and two CAN 2.0B ports Provides design flexibility for mobile machinery requiring a large number of I/O connections in a concentrated space ...
