Long-range wireless STM32WL microcontrollers Complementing the STM32 RF connectivity portfolio, the STM32WL System-On-Chip integrates both a general purpose microcontroller and a sub-GHz radio on the same chip. Built on an Arm® Cortex®‐M4 core architecture, STM32WL microcontrollers also support multiple modulations– LoRa®, (G)FSK, (G)MSK, BPSK – to ensure flexibility in wireless applications with LoRaWAN® or any other suitable protocol in a fully open way. STM32WL microcontrollers feature a sub-GHz radio based-on Semtech SX126x to meet the requirements of a wide range of Low-Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) wireless applications in industrial and consumer Internet-of-Things (IoT). The embedded sub-GHz transceiver comes with a LoRaWAN® radio stack available on demand.
Thanks to a deep integration, the innovative and open architecture is optimized for LoRaWAN® legacy / proprietary protocols, flexible resource use, power management and helps lower BOM cost while offering a better user experience. Developed using the same technology as the one implemented in our ultra-low-power STM32L4 microcontrollers, the STM32WL series provides a similar digital and analog peripherals for basic or complex application use cases requiring an extended battery life and a long RF range through its sub-GHz transceiver. To ensure worldwide compatibility, the STM32WL MCUs feature a dual power-output and a wide linear frequency range fitting any unlicensed RF spectrum need.
Overall, the STM32WL series is the STM32 family’s pioneer in sub-GHz wireless connectivity, offering ease-of-use and reliability, while being perfectly tailored for a wide range of industrial and consumer applications.
