ST offers 32-bit performance with New Discovery Kit

STMicroelectronics has released a new discovery kit for its STM32F030 Value Line microcontrollers, offering 32-bit performance for as little as 32 cents.
 
The STM32F0308 Discovery board is an easy-to-use development kit that will enable designers to evaluate and start development with STM32F030 Value Line microcontrollers. It is shipped pre-configured and ready to use out of the box. Powered from a USB socket or separate power supply, the kit has an extension header allowing quick connection to all microcontroller I/Os. The onboard 64-pin STM32F030R8T6 microcontroller features 64KB Flash memory and 8KB RAM.
 
The new STM32F030 Value Line microcontroller family streamlines design, boosts application performance, and allows scalability with minimal hardware changes. The devices feature a 48MHz ARM Cortex-M0, 5-channels DMA, core and versatile peripherals such as a motor-control timer, five general-purpose timers and a 1Msample/s 12-bit ADC, to combine uncompromised capabilities and price parity with older 8-bit architectures.
 
Also, STM32F030 Value Line devices are supported by 100% free development tool chains, in addition to the low-cost discovery kit and generic tools supporting ARM Cortex-M devices.
 
The STM32F0308 Discovery board is readily available and is priced at $8.90.
