AI and rich connectivity from new dual-core applications processor
With Arm® Cortex®-A35 and M33 cores, AI acceleration and industrial-grade multimedia, the STM32MP215DAN3 from STMicroelectronics is ideal for smart factory, edge computing, and embedded vision platforms.
The new STM32MP215DAN3 is a high-performance applications processor (MPU) that couples a dual-core Arm Cortex-A35 processor up to 1.5 GHz with a 300MHz Cortex-M33 real-time co-processor. The Cortex-A35 cores include Arm NEON SIMD and TrustZone® support, enabling accelerated DSP and AI inference. This architecture gives design engineers a powerful platform to run embedded vision and edge-compute workloads locally while managing control, sensing, and security functions in parallel.
The STM32MP215DAN3 is designed for industrial and IoT applications, targeting factory automation, embedded vision, edge AI, and smart energy systems. Typical use cases include robotics and factory control, machine vision cameras, EV charging stations and smart metering.
Key system features include 64-bit Armv8 computing, large on-chip cache and broad memory support. The STM32MP215DAN3 supports up to 4GB of external DRAM and integrates 456KB of SRAM. Rich multimedia features include a 24-bit parallel RGB LCD-TFT controller up to 1080p60 and a MIPI CSI-2 camera interface with integrated ISP.
