Overview

Core103Z is a small STM32 development board that features an STM32F103ZET6 device as the microcontroller, supports further expansion. It is ideal for starting application development with STM32F family.

As a minimal ready-to-run system, the Core103Z integrates USB communication interface, JTAG/SWD programming/debugging interface, boot mode selection, and so on.

Furthermore, pin headers on the backside allow the Core103Z to be plugged-in your application board and act as the MCU core circuit in your system. All the I/O ports are accessible on the pin headers, and the header pitch is designed as 2.00mm.

What's On Board

7. Reset button
8. 8M crystal oscillator (on bottom side)
9. 32.768K crystal (on bottom side), for internal RTC with calibration
10. JTAG/SWD interface: for debugging/programming
11. USB interface: used for establishing USB communication between PC and the STM32 development board
12. MCU pins expander, VCC, GND and all the I/O ports are accessible on expansion connectors for further expansion
13. 5Vin pinheader, power input
14. USB enable jumper
    • short the jumper to enable USB function
    • open the jumper to disconnect from I/O port
15. VBAT selection jumper
    • short the jumper to use system power supply
    • open the jumper to connect the VBAT to external power, such as battery
16. VREF selection jumper
    • short the jumper to connect VREF+ to VCC
    • open the jumper to connect VREF+ to other custom pin via jumper wire

Note:
Core103Z provides JTAG/SWD debugging interface, yet does NOT integrate any debugging function, a debugger is required.
Mother board and programmer/debugger in the photos are NOT included in the price.
