Consumption
STM8L15x & STM8L16x


Formulas for calculate consumption for STM8L15x family
  • The run from RAM consumption can be approximated with the linear formula:
    IDD(run_from_RAM) = Freq. * 95 μA/MHz + 250 μA
  • The run from FLASH consumption can be approximated with the linear formula:
    IDD(run_from_Flash) = Freq. * 200 μA/MHz + 330 μA

Formulas for calculate consumption for STM8L10x family
  • An approximate value of IDD(run_from_Flash) can be given by the following formula:
    IDD(run_from_Flash) = Freq. * 150 μA/MHz + 215 μA.

Debugger and Programming Tools

ST Visual Develop (STVD) and ST Visual Programmer (STVP)
Software package includes IDE with advanced editor, project builder (supports Cosmic, and Raisonance C toolchains, and included ST assembler/linker), debugger with simulator, plus programming interface.
Supports ST emulators, ST-LINK, in-circuit debugger, Raisonance RLink and ST MCU programming tools.

Raisonance:
STX-RLINK http://www.raisonance.com

STice advanced in-circuit emulation system for ST microcontrollers
STM8L Discovery it is an eva-board + emulator
The Flasher for STM8 is now available from Segger GmbH.
This standalone, in-circuit Flash programmer supports the full range of STM8, either in standalone mode or connected to the host through USB, Ethernet or RS232 interfaces.
Its optical isolation reduces issues with different potentials in production environments and is particularly appreciated during development requiring insulation.
FlashRunner
SMH Technologies in-circuit programming system for production lines featuring standalone operation and easy integration in production and test equipment.
BeeProg2 , BeeHive204 , BeeHive208S tools from Elnec
are faster versions of, respectively, Beeprog+, BeeHive4+ and BeHive8S, and have compatible adaptors. All these production programming tools support STM8T141 devices, and are single, 4x and 8x fast programming systems, respectively. These tools are able to concurrently program up to 8 devices (BeeHive208S) in socket, as standalone (BeeHive8S), or connected to a PC through a USB line (BeeProg2, BeeHive204).

Evaluation Boards



STM8L Discovery

The STM8L-Discovery, based on the STM8L152C6T6, is a quick-start evaluation board for 8-bit ultra-low-power MCUs.
It is the cheapest and quickest way to discover the STM8L, to program and use the device, and to build and debug applications.
It includes the embedded debugger ST-LINK and an IDD consumption measurement feature which helps you to discover the ultra-low-power efficiency.
Connect the STM8L-Discovery into a PC through a USB cable, and run the proposed example.
Using the debugger you can check the real-time execution code.
Numerous applications are available in order to learn, reuse and modify codes for a fast time to proof-of-concept or demonstration.
It will satisfy hobbyists, developers, students and support teams.
Based on examples, you will find STM8L-Discovery indispensable.
