The STM8AL3168TCX is a low-power 8-bit microcontroller from STMicroelectronics, based on the STM8 core at 16MHz. It provides 32KB of flash and 2KB of RAM in a 48-LQFP package. Operating from 1.65V to 3.6V, it features brown-out detection, DMA, POR, PWM, and WDT. With an extended temperature range of -40°C to 125°C, it is designed for automotive and industrial applications requiring high reliability.

  • Extended temperature range (-40°C to 125°C) supports under-hood and high-heat industrial applications.
  • Low supply voltage (1.65V) enables operation from a single alkaline or Li-ion cell.
  • Integrated brown-out detection and POR ensure safe power-up/down sequences.
  • Cost-effective 8-bit architecture with 16MHz speed balances performance and budget.

Automotive Lighting Control

The 125°C rating and 16MHz STM8 core handle PWM dimming for LED headlamps and interior lights, ensuring reliable operation under hood heat.

Industrial Valve Actuators

With brown-out detection and WDT, it provides fail-safe control for pneumatic valves in process automation, operating in extreme temperatures.

Battery Management Systems

Its 1.65V minimum supply allows monitoring of single-cell Li-ion batteries, with DMA for efficient ADC sampling of cell voltages.

Smart Sensors for HVAC

The 48-LQFP package and multiple I/Os interface with temperature and humidity sensors, sending data to central controllers via PWM or serial links.

Portable Gas Detectors

Low-power STM8 core extends battery life in handheld safety devices, while POR ensures clean startup in critical situations.

E-bike Controllers

With 32KB flash, it manages motor commutation and throttle input, withstanding vibration and temperature swings in outdoor use.
