STMicroelectronics has been responding to the automotive challenge for many years. Today, our solutions are not only cost-effective but they offer real innovation, covering every application found in modern cars. The ST72561 is a family of car networking devices addressing CAN- and LIN-bus applications. All devices in this family are based on a common industry-standard 8-bit core, featuring an enhanced instruction set and are available with FLASH or ROM program memory. This family of products is targeting car body electronics, as well as industrial automation, with a focus on low power consumption and a wide range of packages.
Due to its comprehensive features and competitive price, the device is also suited to appliance or consumer applications requiring CAN or UART communication. It is the smallest available microcontroller with 2 UART and 1 CAN-bus interface.
Small 16K version available for industrial sensors based on microcontrollers.
