Course outline

  • Overview of the STM32L4 platform including its key features, main benefits and development ecosystem
  • Hands-on experience with real-life application scenarios and operating modes:
    -   Extending power efficiency in Run modes using an external switched-mode power supply (SMPS)
    – example applicable for all kinds of low-power applications
    -   Using the STM32 low-power timer (LPTIM) to perform simple tasks even when the MCU is in Stop mode (slides only)
    – example applicable for metering applications (water meter)
    -   How the real-time clock (RTC) and its wakeup mechanism can further reduce power consumption (slides only)
    – example applicable for devices with periodic activity (sensor device or data logger)
    -   Using batch acquisition sub-mode (BAM) to transfer data with communication peripherals, while the rest of the device is in low-power mode (slides only)
    – example applicable for always-on devices (fitness tracker)
