The STM32 family of ultra low-power microcontrollers made by STMicroelectronics welcomed a new line of ultra low-power microcontrollers called STM32L5.
The most siginificant change is using of different ARM Core. STM32L5 contains ARM Cortex-M33 instead of Cortex M0+ and M4.
The M33 core is designed specially for IoT application and application with high level of security.
In this time, the STM32L5 line contains two types of microcontrollers (in a few various –
STM32L552 a STM32L562. L562 contains extra PKA (Private key accelaration) and AES (128/256 bit).
There is brief comaprison of STM32L552 and STM32L476
