STMicroelectronics Begins Deliveries of China-Manufactured STM32 Microcontrollers

STMicroelectronics has started volume production and deliveries of its STM32 microcontrollers fully manufactured in China. The first batch of STM32 wafers produced by Huahong for ST is now being delivered to customers based in China.

The localization effort begins with the high-performance STM32H7 series. Mass production has started for initial product models of the H7 series, with additional models scheduled to enter mass production by the end of 2026. The STM32H7 is a mature, high-performance general-purpose series used in industrial systems, smart home systems with advanced graphical displays, personal electronics, and medical applications. Subsequent series planned for local volume production by the end of 2026 include the performance-oriented and secure STM32H5 series and the new entry-level STM32C5 series.

The STM32H5 series targets applications such as pluggable optics modules in datacenters, as well as consumer and industrial systems including air conditioners, home appliances, security systems, pumps, lighting, power conversion, PC peripherals, and smartphone accessories. The STM32C5 series addresses entry-level needs in industrial automation, home appliances, motor control, digital power, medical ...
