Thanx memarian, Could you please answer some of my questions
1) what is the cost of above mcu?
2) Which simulation software are you using?
3) Are you using any development board for the same?
Hi,
1) Price : it very much depends on which distributor you buy your chips. for Example i use STM32F303CBT6 in my design , Mouser Electronics Sell it for 7.57$ (quantity < 10) , but Wuhan P&S sell it for 4.41$, but if i want to buy less than 10 Chips, i'll buy them from Mouser, because the shipping cost is much lower to my location and total order+shipping cost will be cheaper than Wuhan. so i think you should check different distributors and calculate price with shipping cost.
Also STM32F3 Series have many models with different peripherals and very different prices, so you should select you microcontroller carefully.if you search you can even find less than 2$ models of STM32F3 Series , but you should check and see if their peripherals satisfy your project requirements.
2) i'm not using any simulation software for the microcontroller, but i use Orcad Cadence for simulating the Analog sections. BTW,STM32F3 Series are ARM Cortex M4 with FPU and i didn't find any simulation software that could simulate ARM Cortex-M4 Core with all peripherals and interrupts ... etc.
3) No, but i tested my initial code on STM32F3DISCOVERY and after checking the result, i designed my own board.
STM32F3DISCOVERY is very chip (10~15 USD) with many capabilities.

Also check ST Site, they have several development boards.
Good Luck!
