Application note
ST10F27x hardware development
Getting started
Introduction
The ST10F27x MCUs are derivatives of the STMicroelectronics ST10 family of 16-bit CMOS
microcontrollers. They combine high CPU performance (CPU frequency up to 64 MHz) with high
peripheral functionalities and enhanced I/O-capabilities. They offer on-chip high speed single voltage
Flash memory, on-chip high speed RAM and support clock generation via PLL or an external clock. The
ST10F27x MCUs also provide an enhanced 16-bit DSP co-processor to improve their performance in
signal processing algorithms.
This application note complements the ST10F27x datasheet and user manual by describing the minimum
hardware environment required to build an application around the ST10F27x. A number of features of the
ST10F27x devices are described in the first five chapters. In the sixth, a basic schematic is given
illustrating the minimum hardware required to get the ST10F27x running. For a deeper description of
these features, refer to the ST10F27x datasheet or user manual.
In order to build an application around ST10F27x, the application board should, at least, provide the
following features:
■ Power supply
■ Clock management
■ Reset control
■ Boot mode settings
