STM32F103C8T7 is an STMicroelectronics Arm Cortex-M3 microcontroller with 64 KB Flash, 72 MHz, in LQFP-48 — the "Blue Pill" MCU for embedded control, motor drives and instrumentation. The huge code base and community around the F103 is the selection point: fastest bring-up and easiest hiring of any 32-bit MCU line. Selection advice: the T7 suffix denotes the extended temperature grade variant of the C8 (64 KB Flash) — pick it for industrial temperature ranges; the T6TR tape-and-reel variant suits standard-grade production. If your firmware outgrows 64 KB, the CB (128 KB) variant is pin-compatible. ST lists this order code as active; we verify availability per lot. Parameters verified against the ST official product page.

STM32F103C8 is available in the following manufacturer order codes. They share the same STM32F103C8 design; the table highlights package, packing and ordering differences. Quote the exact code your BOM needs.
| Order code | Package | Packing | Key difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| STM32F103C8T6 | LQFP-48 | — | — |
| STM32F103C8T6TR | LQFP 48 7x7x1.4 mm | — | Compared with STM32F103C8T6, package and listed temperature grade match, but the order-code suffix differs. Verify the factory packing and PCB footprint before treating order codes as interchangeable. |
| STM32F103C8T7 | LQFP 48 7x7x1.4 mm | — | Compared with STM32F103C8T6, temperature grade changes from -40.0 to 85.0 °C to -40.0 to 105.0 °C. Verify the factory packing and PCB footprint before treating order codes as interchangeable. |
| STM32F103C8T7TR | LQFP 48 7x7x1.4 mm | — | Compared with STM32F103C8T6, temperature grade changes from -40.0 to 85.0 °C to -40.0 to 105.0 °C. Verify the factory packing and PCB footprint before treating order codes as interchangeable. |

Browse existing catalog records — same series first, then the same category and manufacturer. These are not confirmed replacements; compatibility requires engineering review.
These are order-code variants of the same STMicroelectronics series. They share the core design; the ordering code selects the exact configuration — STM32F103C8T6 (LQFP-48); STM32F103C8T6TR: Compared with STM32F103C8T6, package and listed temperature grade match, but the order-code suffix differs. Verify the factory packing and PCB footprint before treating order codes as interchangeable.; STM32F103C8T7TR: Compared with STM32F103C8T6, temperature grade changes from -40.0 to 85.0 °C to -40.0 to 105.0 °C. Verify the factory packing and PCB footprint before treating order codes as interchangeable.. STM32F103C8T7 itself is the LQFP 48 7x7x1.4 mm configuration. A code that differs by even one character may be a different device, so always quote the complete code exactly as it appears on your BOM.
From the verified technical profile: Core: Arm Cortex-M3; Flash memory: 64 KB; CPU frequency: 72 MHz. These are the catalog-recorded values for STM32F103C8T7 — always re-check them against the manufacturer datasheet revision quoted on your BOM before finalizing the design.
