ST72F324K6TA Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum operating temperature range for the ST72F324K6TA?
  The maximum operating temperature range for the ST72F324K6TA is -40°C to +85°C, but it can be extended to -40°C to +105°C for some specific applications with proper derating.
• How do I configure the clock source for the ST72F324K6TA?
  The clock source for the ST72F324K6TA can be configured using the Clock Security System (CSS) and the Clock Control Register (CKCU). The clock source can be selected from the internal RC oscillator, external crystal oscillator, or external clock source.
• What is the maximum frequency for the ST72F324K6TA?
  The maximum frequency for the ST72F324K6TA is 24 MHz, but it can be overclocked up to 32 MHz with proper derating and consideration of power consumption and thermal dissipation.
• How do I implement a watchdog timer on the ST72F324K6TA?
  The ST72F324K6TA has a built-in watchdog timer that can be enabled and configured using the Watchdog Timer Control Register (WDTCR). The watchdog timer can be used to reset the microcontroller in case of a software fault or hang-up.
• What is the power consumption of the ST72F324K6TA?
  The power consumption of the ST72F324K6TA depends on the operating frequency, voltage, and mode of operation. In active mode, the typical power consumption is around 15 mA at 24 MHz and 3.3V. In sleep mode, the power consumption is around 10 μA.
