GigaDevice Launches Entry-Level MCU Series
Circuit Cellar
|August 2025
GigaDevice, a leading semiconductor company specializing in Flash memory, 32-bit microcontrollers (MCUs), sensors, and analog products, officially launched the value-packed GD32C231 series of entry-level microcontrollers, further expanding its Arm Cortex-M23 core product lineup.
A “high-performance entry-level” solution designed to offer more competitive options for applications including small home appliances, BMS (Battery Management Systems), small-screen display devices, handheld consumer products, industrial auxiliary controls, and automotive aftermarket systems.
Built on Arm’s advanced Cortex-M23 core architecture, the series offers up to 10% higher performance than Cortex-M0+, with clock speeds reaching 48MHz. It supports efficient processing capabilities such as integer division, greatly enhancing software execution efficiency.
The series features 32KB to 64KB of highly reliable embedded Flash and 12KB of low-power SRAM, with full memory areas equipped with ECC error correction. Multiple package options are available, including TSSOP20/LGA20, QFN28, LQFP32/QFN32, and LQFP48/QFN48.
