EEDEHD ARM Cortex M4F MCU choices
Standard DigiKey Search Filters/Criteria for ICs apply:
Whenever possible, we would do our best to never use FN packages.
We will minimize BGA packages use.
We choose parts not under EOL/Obsolete/Discontinued status.
View Prices At: Quantity 1
Marketplace Product: Exclude
Part Status: Active
Package / Case: NOT FN
Supplier Device Package: NOT FN
As explained in [[EEDEHD_ARM_Cortex_M7_MCU_choices]], choices for ARM Cortex M7 MCUs influence our choices of M4F MCUs. F stands for Floating Point calculation co-processor option that is built in. Without dedicated hardware, floating-point calculations are extremely inefficient and slow otherwise.
Note: only single-core solutions are looked at here, as being far less easier to start using for the first time by a newcomer, compared to multicore solutions.

Additional Search Criteria/Parameters:
Core Processor: ARM Cortex-M4/M4F. Note regarding also selecting M4 in addition to M4F: because just like in countless other situations, DigiKey search lists/criteria are to NEVER be trusted. They are too frequently incorrect, incomplete, stupid, or useless!!!
