STMicroelectronics AN3029 STM8L Getting Started Application Note
This document complements STM8L datasheets by detailing the necessary hardware and software setup for STM8L101x, STM8L15x, and STM8L15x/16x devices. It covers principal hardware components including power supply, analog-to-digital converter (ADC), clock management, and reset control, along with hardware recommendations.
The guide provides detailed reference design schematics and descriptions of main components. It also explains the STM8 development tools and software toolchain, which are common to STM8L, STM8S, and STM8A, and includes instructions on setting up the STM8 development environment.

Questions answered in these manuals
What is the minimum power supply voltage for STM8L devices?
The STMB8L can be supplied through a 1.65 V to 3.6 V external source.
From: STMicroelectronics AN3029 STM8L Getting Started Application Note
Which STM8L device densities does this note apply to?
It applies to low density STM8L101x, medium and medium+ density STM8L15x, and high density STM8L15x/16x devices.

What is the holding current in a TRIAC?
The holding current is the minimum current required to keep the TRIAC conducting; if the current falls below this value, the device blocks.
From: STMicroelectronics AN302 Thyristors and TRIACs Holding Current Application Note
How does temperature affect the holding current?
The holding current varies inversely with temperature; as the temperature decreases, the holding current increases.

What is the typical maximum DC output voltage for a boost topology PFC pre-regulator?
The DC output voltage must be higher than the maximum expected line peak voltage, which is typically 400 VDC for 230 V or wide-range mains applications.

What is the typical power range for using transition-mode PFC operation?
Transition-mode operation is typically used in a lower power range up to 250 W.
