Hardware layout UM1690

4 Hardware layout

The STM32F072 discovery board has been designed around the STM32F072RBT6
microcontroller in a 64-pin LQFP package.
Figure 2 illustrates the connections between the STM32F072RBT6 and its peripherals (ST-
LINK/V2, ST MEMS gyroscope L3GD20, LEDs, pushbuttons, linear touch sensor, touch
keys, RF EEprom connector and a USB mini-B connector).
Figure 3 and Figure 4 help you to locate these features on the STM32F072 discovery board.
