ST Nucleo F412ZG

Overview

The Nucleo F412ZG board features an ARM Cortex-M4 based STM32F412ZG MCU with a wide range of connectivity support and configurations. Here are some highlights of the Nucleo F412ZG board:

  • STM32 microcontroller in LQFP144 package
  • Two types of extension resources:
    • ST Zio connector including: support for Arduino* Uno V3 connectivity (A0 to A5, D0 to D15) and additional signals exposing a wide range of peripherals
    • ST morpho extension pin headers for full access to all STM32 I/Os
  • On-board ST-LINK/V2-1 debugger/programmer with SWD connector
  • Flexible board power supply:
    • 5 V from ST-LINK/V2-1 USB VBUS
    • External power sources: 3.3 V and 7 - 12 V on ST Zio or ST morpho connectors, 5 V on ST morpho connector
  • Three user LEDs
  • Two push-buttons: USER and RESET
