Embedded - Microcontrollers: STM8AF6288TCY application field and working principle

The STM8AF6288TCY (hereinafter referred to as "AF6288") is an ultra-low power 8-bit MCU produced and sold by STMicroelectronics. It integrates low power consumption and high performance characteristics, and can be applied in a wide range of appliances, medical and automotive systems, making it an excellent choice for cost-sensitive designs.

This article will analyze the application field and working principle of the AF6288 from the following aspects:

Part1: Overview of AF6288

Af6288 has a 50 Mhz maximum frequency, and a frequency of 24 Mhz at its lowest power consumption. Its architecture is a hybrid of 8051 and STM8. It uses the enhanced 8051 Harvard architecture, which not only inherits the 8051 instructions, but also achieves higher performance by optimizing the MCU core. It also integrates a 4-level power control system, which is divided into run, idle, deep idle and sleep modes, with a low power consumption of 14uA/MHz in sleep mode.

In addition, Af6288 also provides a range of peripheral modules, including UART, I2C, DWT, SPI, PWM, MSC, etc., as well as integrated serial bootloader, which can make the development process more efficient and reduce cost. Besides, the powerful math computing ability and timing supports the operation of complex algorithms easily.

Part2: Application Field

Af6288 has been widely used in industrial control, household appliances, automotive, medical and other fields.

For industrial control, many components of industrial control systems require high precision, fast response speed and strong reliability. Af6288 integrates low power consumption and high performance characteristics, with core optimized by 8051 architecture and a variety of peripherals. It can help implement operation control, data acquisition and display quickly with low power consumption, and is an ideal choice for industrial control systems.

In the field of household appliances, the low power consumption and highly integrated peripheral modules of Af6288 make it an ideal choice for energy-saving and environmentally friendly products, such as air conditioners, washing machines, refrigerators, etc.

In the automotive field, products used in cars should have high safety, stability and reliability. After meeting the requirements of car safety, Af6288 also has the characteristics of low power consumption, fast calculation speed and highly integrated peripheral module, which can help efficiently process and control a variety of complex data, and carry out real-time monitoring of tire pressure, fuel consumption, etc., can helping to ensure the safety of the vehicle.

In the medical field, Af6288 can develop products such as portable ECG machines, portable blood pressure gauges, etc. looking forward to improve people\'s health and quality of life.

Part3: Working Principle

Hey6288 adopts the 8051-enhanced Harvard architecture, which divides the memory into Flash, RAM, and EEPROM. It also integrates 4-level power control system and a large set of peripherals, including UART, I2C, DWT, SPI, PWM and MSC.

When the system is in the run state, the instruction will be read from the Flash and transcribed into instruction cache after decoding, and the data will be read from the RAM. If the time-sensitive criterion is met, the instruction in the instruction cache will be executed immediately to ensure the execution speed of the program.

In idle state, the clock and bus are still working, but only part of the system is kept running to reduce power consumption. In deep idle mode, the system clock and Flash memory will be shut down, and only the RAM will remain running to reduce power consumption more severely.

In sleep mode, the core clock and all peripherals are shut down and only a few bus interfaces are staying work. The power consumption in this mode is the lowest, and can be as low as 14uA / MHz.
