Microcontrollers also embed security assets like cryptographic accelerators, TrustZone isolation, random generator, and product life cycle.

GENEVA – STMicroelectronics in Geneva is introducing the next-generation STM32 power-efficient short-range wireless microcontrollers for industrial and consumer electronics in internet of things (IoT) applications.

The STM32WBA6 series is for connected smart devices like remote weather sensors, electronic locks, and wearable health care.

The STM32WBA6 microcontrollers also embed SESIP3 and PSA Level3 certifiable security assets, such as cryptographic accelerators, TrustZone isolation, random generator, and product life cycle.

Several wireless protocols

The wireless subsystem in the STM32WBA6 microcontrollers supports Bluetooth, Zigbee, Thread, Matter, and other protocols operating at 2.4 GHz, and enables communications using several protocols concurrently.

It's how a system like a smart-home bridge can communicate with the homeowner's mobile app over Bluetooth and simultaneously manage lights or thermostats through mesh networking such as Zigbee.

The STM32WBA6 series also contains single-protocol variants for simpler and more cost-conscious applications. For more information, contact STMicroelectronics online at www.st.com/en/microcontrollers-microprocessors/stm32wba-series.html.
