STM32MP13 microprocessor

Applicable for

STM32MP13x lines

---

STM32MP13 microprocessors are based on the Arm^® Cortex^®-A7, supporting Trustzone^® mode for secure operations.

This article starts with information on STM32MP13x lines  part number codification and block diagram. STM32MP13 is part of STM32MP1 series (refer to the list of part numbers provided below).

Then technical aspects are introduced, providing information on:

• STM32MP13 documentation
• articles dedicated to internal peripherals that allow a transition to the software frameworks required to control these peripherals
• the list of boards supporting STM32MP13 devices
• the supported software distributions, that can be downloaded into the STM32MP13 device.

1. Introduction

STM32MP13x microprocessors are targeting industry 4.0, factory automation, smart metering, smart homes, electric vehicle charging infrastructure applications and point of sales (PoS) applications.

They are are based on a single Arm® Cortex®-A7 core running up to 1GHz, with a rich set of connectivity options, such as dual Gigabit Ethernet.

2. Part number codification

The figure below shows the differences between the three STM32MP13x lines, with their security and frequency options. Each line can be delivered in one of three packages represented on the right side: refer to the technical documentation to get details on the available features per package.

The tables below explains how the part numbers are encoded for all the above combinations.

2.1. STM32MP13x lines

	ADC	Camera	ETH	CAN	Display
STM32MP131	x1	No	x1	No	No
STM32MP133	x2	No	x2	Yes	No
STM32MP135	x2	Yes	x2	Yes	TFT

2.2. Security and Cortex-A7 frequency

	Security	Cortex-A7 frequency
STM32MP13xA	Basic	650 MHz
STM32MP13xC	Secure boot + Cryptography	650 MHz
STM32MP13xD	Basic	1 GHz
STM32MP13xF	Secure boot + Cryptography	1 GHz

2.3. Packages

STM32MP13xxAE	LFBGA289 14x14
STM32MP13xxAF	TFBGA320 11x11
STM32MP13xxAG	TFBGA289 9x9

2.4. Junction temperature

STM32MP13xxxx3	- 40 to + 125 °C
STM32MP13xxxx7	- 40 to + 105 °C

3. Block diagram

The diagram shows the STM32MP135C/STM32MP135F, which offers the richest feature set of the STM32MP13x family.

The above figure shows a functional view of the design that does not aim to be aligned with the real design: it shows the available features and not how they are implemented into the microprocessor.
For instance, SPDIF RX and SPDIF TX functions are grouped in a single box, whereas, SPDIF RX is implemented in one dedicated peripheral, and SPDIF TX is supported by SAI.

4. Technical documentation

• STM32MP13 Reference Manual: device and internal peripheral user specifications
• STM32MP13 Datasheet: electrical characteristics, package, and pinout descriptions

The whole documentation set, related to STM32MP13x lines , is available also on st.com

5. Internal peripherals

STM32MP13 peripherals overview article gives a description of all the internal peripherals available on STM32MP13 devices, with direct links to the articles where you can find:

• an overview of each peripheral
• the list of instances available for each peripheral type
• information on how each instance can be shared between Arm^® Cortex^®-A7 secure and non-secure context,
• direct links to the software frameworks used to control the peripheral from the different execution contexts.
