Conclusion

A multitude of new mobile, communications-based, wireless, entertainment and computing

applications being developed for tomorrow’s markets need more and more performance and

longer times between battery recharging. STM8L both combines high performance core and

ultra-low-power consumption modes. This example allows you to evaluate the current

consumption of the STM8L microcontroller in various operating conditions and to

demonstrate its low-power capabilities by directly providing the consumption value to

STM8L-DISCOVERY users on the LCD panel.

With this example, STM8L-DISCOVERY provide a very low cost environment that can be

used for additional development projects where device consumption and application

autonomy take on their full meaning. It can be a useful starting point that can easily

expanded to investigate other aspects of the user’s target application.
