STM32MP2 Microprocessor Series
STM32MP21X, STM32MP23X, STM32MP25X
With up to dual Arm Cortex®-A35 and Cortex®-M33 cores.
Product Introduction
With its NPU accelerator, is it now possible to run AI applications on either the CPU, GPU, or NPU. Additionally, it supports high-end edge computing use cases, such as machine vision, through its multimedia capabilities.The series is specifically designed to fit the needs of Industry 4.0 applications, including smart factories, cities, and buildings, as well as for advanced HMI applications.
This second generation of STM32 application processors opens the door to higher performances with a 64-bit platform now, specifically designed for industrial applications requiring chip robustness in a connected and secure environment.
The STM32MP2 microprocessor portfolio comes in two main configurations:
- The STM32MP25x product line supports the growth of connected applications with extended connectivity: Ethernet switch, TSN support, PCIe, USB3, LVDS, DSI, and parallel as display interfaces. It also offers camera interfaces (CSI, parallel), with image signal processor (ISP).
- The STM32MP23x product line, a cost-optimized derivative of STM32MP25x, offers up to 1.5 GHz & (LP)DDR4, enhancing performance compared to the previous generation product (STM32MP15) with AI, graphics, and video accelerators.
This product offers advanced edge AI capabilities with its NPU accelerator and the flexibility to run AI applications on either the CPU, GPU, or NPU. Additionally, it supports high-end edge computing use cases, such as machine vision, through its multimedia capabilities. This is enabled by the whole ST edge AI ecosystem offer.
It supports a wide junction temperature range, from - 40°C to 125°C, making it ideal for industrial and harsh environments.
