The NuMicro NUC472 series embedded with Cortex-M4F core has DSP extensions and a Floating Point Unit, and runs up to 84 MHz with 512/256 KB embedded flash, 64 KB embedded SRAM and 16 KB ISP loader flash.

It is also equipped with plenty of peripheral devices, such as Ethernet 10/100 MAC, USB OTG/HS Device with on-chip PHY, two 12-bit ADCs with 16 channels, symmetric encryption/decryption hardware accelerator, two CANs, four Timers, Watchdog Timers, RTC, PDMA, EBI, six UARTs supporting LIN and RS485, six Smart Card interfaces supporting ISO7816-3 and UART, four SPIs, two I²S, five I²C, PWM Timers, image sensor interface, SD Host, GPIO, OP amplifiers, analog comparators, temperature sensor, Low voltage reset and Brown-out Detector.

Moreover, the NUC472 series operates at wide voltage 2.5V to 5.5V and wide temperature, -40 to +105℃ and supports the LQFP100, LQFP128, LQFP144 and LQFP176 package types. This makes the NUC472 series quite suitable for industrial automation, home automation, motor control, security system, communication system, and consumer electronics.

The NuTiny-SDK-NUC472 is a development kit which supports the NUC472 series to work with Keil RVMDK, IAR EWARM evaluation development environment that is a free and open development tool, including project manager, editor, compiler tools and debugger.

Additionally, Nuvoton provides the ISP (In System Program), ICP (In Circuit Program) and IAP (In Application Program) function, by either online or off-line programming system to update flash memory program.

The NUC472 is now in volume production and offers four package types, namely, LQFP100 (14mmx14mm), LQFP128 (14mmx14mm), LQFP144 (20mmx20mm) and LQFP176 (24mmx24mm) for various applications.

Nevertheless, Nuvoton made its debut at tmall.com, which is an online shopping site that belongs to the famous e-commerce company Alibaba.com in China, selling its MCU products along with ARM Cortex M0 and M4.

According to Nuvoton, some of the common version MCU products no need to be customized, which means customers can buy the MCU and design the products on their own. Selling these MCU products at tmall.com is for the convenience of low-demand customers.
