STM32F103x8 pin compatible or LQFP48 alternative

[lk.dgironi]

Hi all,

I've a board with the STM32F103C8T6 MCU.

My firmware has to handle a lot of IO, display and UART logic, nothing special but just a lot of logic.

So the 64K b internal flash memory is almost full.

I've a couple of question here:

1) can i switch to the STM32F103CBT6 so that I'll have 128Kb of flash without issues?

2) Is there any other candidate in a small package (like the LQFP-48) I can use? I have to use a small package cause I don't have that much space available on that board (find attached)

 

Thanks!

Hello,

The answer is provided in the datasheet:

The only difference is the Flash size so you don't have to worry.

Thanks, so it's a yes on my request "1)", no issues replacing with STM32F103CBT6.

 As I said previously, no issue to migrate directly to 128kB!
