STM32F4 low-power application case

Sensors are a fundamental part of the human/machine interface. This part of the application

note provides an example of a sensor hub based on STM32F4 devices and focuses on the

low-power modes used to reduce the consumption of this application.

The figure below describes a complete sensor hub example, from which we built the

simplified application described in the next section.

Application overview

This application consists of a communication between a sensor hub and a sensor based on

two STM32F4 devices. One device is configured as master (sensor hub) and the other as

slave (sensor).

The main features of the application are:

•

ADC with 1024 VBAT voltage samples

•

Low-power techniques described in the first chapter

•

Sensor hub FFT samples transformation with maximum device frequency
