NUCLEO-WL33CC is designed around the STM32WL33CCV6. The design includes a mezzanine board and an MCU RF board. The hardware block diagram in Figure 2 illustrates the connection ® between STM32WL33CCV6, peripherals (ARDUINO Uno V3 connectors, ST morpho connector, and embedded ST-LINK) and RF front-end. Figure 3 Figure 5 help users locate these features on the board.

A 7 to 12 V DC power source can power NUCLEO-WL33CC. There are three connectors available for this configuration: • ® Pin VIN of the ARDUINO connector (CN5-8). It is possible to apply up to +12 V on this pin or use an ® ARDUINO shield which can deliver this type of voltage.
• 5V_EXT from ST morpho connector (CN5-6) • 7-12 V input through the voltage regulator (U3), with the VIN Arduino CN5 pin The jumper (JP1) allows selecting the 5V source. Table 4 shows the configuration to apply the selected source.
Position 1-2: It is the default position. Voltage source is U4 LDO providing 3.3 V. Figure 8 : SW1 switch location Position 3-2 : External sources may be applied on VEXT on CN10, Morpho 5VEXT or Arduino Vin. External applied voltages should be in the range of STM32WL33 supply : 1.7 to 3.6V See solder bridges configuration of SB21, SB22 and SB23 given your use case.

UMxxxx Hardware layout and configuration Embedded STLINK-V3EC The chapter below gives some information about the implementation of STLINK-V3EC. For more details on STLINK-V3EC such as LEDs management, drivers, and firmware, refer to the technical note Overview of ST-LINK derivatives (TN1235). For information about debugging and programming features of STLINK-V3EC, refer to the user manual STLINKV3SET debugger/programmer for STM8 and STM32 (UM2448).
UMxxxx Hardware layout and configuration 7.5.4 Using an external debug tool to program and debug the STM32WL33 Before connecting any external debug tool to the STDC14 debug connector (CN17), the SWD and VCP signals from STLINK-V3EC must be isolated. For this, fit the jumper on JP4. It disables the U9 level shifter and isolates SWD and VCP signals from STLINK-V3EC.

PB15. It is possible to use for GPIO reading. ® Note that those Ios are also connected to ARDUINO and ST morpho connectors as GPIO, depending on the use case that can generate conflict. In this case, it is possible to remove the connection to push-buttons, see MB1801 solder bridges configuration table.
UMxxxx Hardware layout and configuration RF stage The RF front end is designed to match and filter RF on 3 different paths: TX, RX and RX_WAKEUP. Nucleo-WL33CC is embedding an IPD (Integrated passive Device) that combines both TX and RX matching and filtering in a tiny package.
UMxxxx Hardware layout and configuration 7.8.1 RX_LPAWUR The STM32WL33 features a Low power Autonomous Wake-Up Receiver, meant to receive dedicated wake-up frames during a deep sleep Mcu state. The LPAWUR can work on 3 different frequency bands. By default, this feature is not connected to the antenna path, C3 is not fitted.
On the bottom side of the board, there is an ARDUINO Uno V3 connector. It is built around four ® standard connectors (CN5, CN6, CN7, and CN8). Most shields designed for ARDUINO can fit with the Discovery kits to offer flexibility in small form factor applications.
UMxxxx Hardware layout and configuration 7.10 ST morpho connectors 7.10.1 ST morpho interface and pinout The ST morpho connectors (CN3 and CN4) are male pin headers accessible on both sides of the board. All signals and power pins of the MCU are available on the ST morpho connectors. An oscilloscope, logical analyzer, or voltmeter can also probe these connectors.
