1.3 About the STM32 Cortex-M4 processor and core peripherals

The Cortex-M4 processor is a high performance 32-bit processor designed for the microcontroller market. It offers significant benefits to developers, including:

• Outstanding processing performance combined with fast interrupt handling
• Enhanced system debug with extensive breakpoint and trace capabilities
• Efficient processor core, system and memories
• Ultra-low power consumption with integrated sleep modes
• Platform security robustness, with integrated memory protection unit (MPU)

The Cortex-M4 processor is built on a high-performance processor core, with a 3-stage pipeline Harvard architecture, making it ideal for demanding embedded applications. The processor delivers exceptional power efficiency through an efficient instruction set and extensively optimized design, providing high-end processing hardware including:

• IEEE754-compliant single-precision floating-point computation
• A range of single-cycle and SIMD multiplication and multiply-with-accumulate capabilities
• Saturating arithmetic
• Dedicated hardware division
