STMicroelectronics STM32MP2 industrial microprocessors

STMicroelectronics has released the STM32MP2 industrial microprocessors, from the second generation of its industrial microprocessors (MPUs), to drive progress in smart factories, smart health care, smart buildings and smart infrastructure.

The MPUs are designed to power the next generations of equipment such as industrial controllers and machine-vision systems, scanners, medical wearables, data aggregators, network gateways, smart appliances, and industrial and domestic robots.

Designed for demanding and time-sensitive workloads, AI inferencing and communication, the MPUs are built to withstand up to 10 years of continuous operation.

The new microprocessors leverage ST’s proprietary secure hardware, anti-tamper controls, protected firmware and secure provisioning, working with Arm’s TrustZone architecture, to keep sensitive data and keys secret. Certified to SESIP Level 3, the MPUs can meet forthcoming cyber-protection requirements in key territories worldwide. These include the US CyberTrust mark and stipulations in the EU’s Radio Equipment Directive that are due to become mandatory in 2025.

The first STM32MP2 MPUs will enter volume production in June 2024.
