The STM8 is a series of 8-bit Microcontrollers from STMicroelectronics that has become a common choice of Microcontroller for cost-sensitive product development. The STM8 IC is not only cheap but also packed it with lots of features and options making it suitable to be used in many different applications. For instance, the STM8S series of controllers is a general-purpose controller but there are other series like the STM8A for Automotive Designs and STM8L for Low Power battery-powered designs which extends the application of these controllers.
