Introduction to the ST7260xx Series
The ST7260xx devices represent a versatile family of low-speed USB 8-bit microcontrollers developed by STMicroelectronics. Designed for a wide range of applications operating from 4.0V to 5.5V, these microcontrollers offer flexibility with various package options providing up to 19 I/O pins.
Built upon a common 8-bit core with an enhanced instruction set, the ST7260xx series is available with Flash program memory, enabling efficient and compact application code development. Key on-chip peripherals include a low-speed USB interface and an asynchronous SCI interface, facilitating seamless communication.
For optimized power consumption, the microcontroller supports dynamic switching between Run, Slow, Wait, Active Halt, and Halt modes, making it suitable for applications requiring power economy during idle or stand-by states. Typical applications span consumer electronics, home appliances, office equipment, and industrial products.
