STM32F217IGH6 Overview
A microcontroller is a programmable semiconductor that integrates a CPU core, memory, peripherals, and communication interfaces on one device. Within the STM32 family, the STM32F217 belongs to the STM32F2 high-performance line. Its Cortex-M3 core is designed for embedded control, while USB, Ethernet, camera, timer, and analog resources reduce the need for companion chips in connected industrial, communications, imaging, and consumer products.
Key features stated in the verified product data include a 120 MHz operating frequency, 1 MB Flash, 128+4 KB RAM, hardware crypto, USB OTG HS/FS, Ethernet, 17 timers, three ADCs, 15 communication interfaces, and camera capability. The ART Accelerator supports 0-wait operation according to the provided datasheet search result, helping reduce the performance penalty associated with Flash access in compatible instruction paths.
The STM32F217IGH6 is positioned for applications requiring more connectivity and processing capacity than a basic Cortex-M microcontroller. Its integrated Ethernet and USB interfaces suit networked control equipment, while the camera interface supports image-acquisition designs. The three ADC blocks and extensive timer resources make it useful for sensor acquisition, motor control, industrial monitoring, and embedded communications systems.
Typical applications include industrial Ethernet controllers, USB-connected data-acquisition units, security and access equipment, camera modules, motor-control boards, and gateway products. The 176+25 UFBGA package offers a compact solution for space-constrained assemblies, but its fine pitch requires careful PCB layout, assembly capability, and thermal management.
A key design consideration is package verification: the exact pinout and exposed-ball assignment should be taken from the manufacturer datasheet for the STM32F217IGH6 ordering code. Power, decoupling, signal integrity, boot configuration, Ethernet magnetics, USB routing, and firmware peripheral configuration must be validated before production release.
This page consolidates the verified distributor specifications, sourcing information, and design guidance for engineers evaluating the STM32F217IGH6. It also distinguishes confirmed features from parameters that were not supplied in the verified search data, avoiding unsupported assumptions while supporting initial design and procurement review.

STM32F217IGH6 10 mm x 10 mm Pin Configuration Guide
Pin configuration for STM32F217IGH6 (10 mm x 10 mm package). This digital IC includes GPIO, communication interfaces (UART, SPI, I2C), and power pins. Refer to the manufacturer datasheet for alternate pin functions and configuration options. Essential for embedded system design and PCB layout.
No detailed pinout data available for STM32F217IGH6.
Refer to the datasheet for full pin configuration.
Typical Applications
STM32F217IGH6 is suitable for 6 applications: Industrial Ethernet Controller, USB Data-Acquisition Unit, Camera and Image-Acquisition Module, Connected Security and Access Equipment, Motor-Control and Sensor Acquisition, Connected Embedded Gateway.
Industrial Ethernet Controller
STM32F217IGH6 fits industrial Ethernet controllers because its verified feature set combines a 120 MHz ARM Cortex-M3 core with integrated Ethernet, 1 MB Flash, and 128+4 KB RAM. These resources support protocol processing, supervisory logic, logging, and local control without requiring a separate host processor. Place the MCU according to the manufacturer reference design and account for the Ethernet PHY, magnetics, termination, and high-speed signal-integrity requirements. The device’s 176+25 UFBGA package supports compact industrial controller designs, but fine-pitch assembly and BGA inspection must be included in the manufacturing plan.
Recommended
USB Data-Acquisition Unit
The STM32F217IGH6 is suitable for a USB-connected data-acquisition unit because it integrates USB OTG HS/FS and three ADCs while running up to 120 MHz. The processor can manage sampling control, buffers, calibration, and USB data transfer, while 1 MB Flash provides useful firmware capacity. The supplied data does not specify ADC resolution or sampling rate, so those values must be confirmed in the official datasheet. Layout should provide clean power and ground distribution, controlled USB routing, appropriate decoupling, and a verified connector and protection strategy.
Recommended
Camera and Image-Acquisition Module
STM32F217IGH6 supports camera-oriented designs because the verified specifications identify camera capability alongside a 120 MHz Cortex-M3 core, 1 MB Flash, and 128+4 KB RAM. The MCU can serve as a supervisory controller for image sensors or capture modules, handling configuration, buffering, timing, and communications. Camera bandwidth, sensor voltage requirements, and exact interface timing are not included in the supplied search data, so they must be checked against the official device documentation. A compact BGA layout also requires careful escape routing and assembly validation.
Recommended
Connected Security and Access Equipment
The STM32F217IGH6 is a strong candidate for connected security equipment because it combines hardware crypto, Ethernet, USB OTG HS/FS, timers, and 128+4 KB RAM in one microcontroller. This allows credential processing, control logic, communications, and event handling to share a compact platform. The verified material does not define supported cryptographic algorithms or security certifications, so security claims must remain limited to the stated hardware-crypto feature. Production designs should verify boot security, key storage, peripheral isolation, firmware update procedures, and compliance requirements with STMicroelectronics documentation.
Recommended
Motor-Control and Sensor Acquisition
STM32F217IGH6 can support motor-control and sensor-acquisition systems because the verified data lists 17 timers and three ADCs together with a 120 MHz CPU. Timers can organize periodic control tasks and timing events, while ADC resources can acquire analog sensor signals. The supplied data does not provide ADC resolution, converter speed, timer channel counts, or motor-control performance, so these specifications must be verified before sizing control loops. Use the manufacturer reference configuration and validate noise, sampling synchronization, protection, and power requirements in the final design.
Recommended
Connected Embedded Gateway
STM32F217IGH6 is appropriate for an embedded gateway that bridges USB, Ethernet, serial, or sensor interfaces because its verified feature set includes 15 communication interfaces, three ADCs, 17 timers, 1 MB Flash, and 128+4 KB RAM. A gateway can use the Cortex-M3 core for protocol conversion, filtering, and local control while retaining Ethernet for upstream connectivity. Exact interface availability, alternate-function mappings, and peripheral multiplexing must be checked in the official pinout and reference manual. The 176+25 UFBGA package helps minimize board area but requires qualified assembly and inspection processes.

Design Notes
Treat the 176+25 UFBGA as a fine-pitch BGA design. Confirm the official ball map, package dimensions, escape-routing strategy, via requirements, solder-mask and paste rules, and assembly inspection plan before releasing PCB artwork. The verified search data confirms the package but does not provide a complete pinout or land pattern, so no guessed ball assignments should be used.
Validate supply rails, sequencing, and decoupling against the official STM32F217IGH6 electrical requirements. Because the supplied search results do not state operating voltage, current limits, or regulator recommendations, do not infer them from related STM32 devices. Use manufacturer-recommended power topology and place local high-frequency and bulk capacitance according to the reference design.
Plan Ethernet, USB, and other high-speed routes with controlled impedance, continuous return paths, appropriate layer transitions, and minimized stubs. Keep sensitive analog and digital paths separated where possible, and verify differential-pair geometry and isolation requirements against the STM32F217IGH6 datasheet and interface reference designs. The exact pin multiplexing must be checked in the verified pinout.
Do not assume that another STM32 with a similarly named suffix is a drop-in replacement. Compare exact ball assignments, alternate-function mapping, power limits, peripheral availability, clocking, memory, package markings, temperature grade, and software support. The supplied cross-reference search found general lookup tools but did not verify a direct replacement, so production substitution requires a manufacturer-level review.
Compliance Information
Compliance data was not included in the verified web results. Confirm RoHS, REACH, AEC-Q100, lead-free, halogen-free, and conflict-mineral declarations with STMicroelectronics or the authorized distributor.
