New Product Introduction

STMicroelectronics STM32WL5x and STM32WLEx

Multiprotocol LPWAN 32-bit Arm Cortex-M4/M0+ MCUs, LoRa, (G)FSK, (G)MSK, BPSK

STMicroelectronics STM32WL5x and STM32WLEx

Complementing the STM32 RF connectivity portfolio, the STM32WL5x and STM32WLEx System-on-Chip (SoC) integrates both a general-purpose microcontroller and a sub-GHz radio on the same chip. Built on Arm® Cortex®‐M4 and Cortex®-M0+ cores (single- and dual-core architectures available), STM32WL5x and STM32WLEx microcontrollers support multiple modulations– LoRa®, (G)FSK, (G)MSK, BPSK, to ensure flexibility in wireless applications with LoRaWAN®, Sigfox, W-MBUS or any other suitable protocol, in a fully open way.Image of LoRaWAN, zigfox, M-Bus and Mioty Logos
