Central processing unit (CPU)
This section applies to low-density STM8L05xx/STM8L15xx devices, medium-density
STM8L05xx/STM8L15xx devices, medium+ density STM8L05xx/STM8L15xx devices and
high-density STM8L05xx/STM8L15xx/STM8L16xx devices, unless otherwise specified.

1.1

CPU introduction
The CPU has an 8-bit architecture. Six internal registers allow efficient data manipulations.
The CPU is able to execute 80 basic instructions. It features 20 addressing modes and can
address six internal registers. For the complete description of the instruction set, refer to the
STM8 microcontroller family programming manual (PM0044).

1.2

CPU registers
The six CPU registers are shown in the programming model in Figure 1. Following an
interrupt, the registers are pushed onto the stack in the order shown in Figure 2. They are
popped from stack in the reverse order. The interrupt routine must therefore handle it, if
needed, through the POP and PUSH instructions.

1.2.1

Description of CPU registers
Accumulator (A)
The accumulator is an 8-bit general purpose register used to hold operands and the results
of the arithmetic and logic calculations as well as data manipulations.

Index registers (X and Y)
These are 16-bit registers used to create effective addresses. They may also be used as a
temporary storage area for data manipulations and have an inherent use for some
instructions (multiplication/division). In most cases, the cross assembler generates a
PRECODE instruction (PRE) to indicate that the following instruction refers to the Y register.

Program counter (PC)
The program counter is a 24-bit register used to store the address of the next instruction to
be executed by the CPU. It is automatically refreshed after each processed instruction. As a
result, the STM8 core can access up to 16 Mbytes of memory.

Stack pointer (SP)
The stack pointer is a 16-bit register. It contains the address of the next free location of the
stack. Depending on the product, the most significant bits can be forced to a preset value.
The stack is used to save the CPU context on subroutine calls or interrupts. The user can
also directly use it through the POP and PUSH instructions.
The stack pointer can be initialized by the startup function provided with the C compiler. For
applications written in C language, the initialization is then performed according to the
address specified in the linker file for C users. If you use your own linker file or startup file,
make sure the stack pointer is initialized properly (with the address given in the datasheets).
For applications written in assembler, you can use either the startup function provided by ST
or write your own by initializing the stack pointer with the correct address.
The stack pointer is decremented after data has been pushed onto the stack and
incremented after data is popped from the stack. It is up to the application to ensure that the
lower limit is not exceeded.
A subroutine call occupies two or three locations. An interrupt occupies nine locations to
store all the internal registers (except SP). For more details refer to Figure 2.
Note:

The WFI/HALT instructions save the context in advance. If an interrupt occurs while the
CPU is in one of these modes, the latency is reduced.

Condition code register (CC)
The condition code register is an 8-bit register which indicates the result of the instruction
just executed as well as the state of the processor. The 6th bit (MSB) of this register is
reserved. These bits can be individually tested by a program and specified action taken as a
result of their state. The following paragraphs describe each bit:
•

V: Overflow

When set, V indicates that an overflow occurred during the last signed arithmetic operation,
on the MSB result bit. See the INC, INCW, DEC, DECW, NEG, NEGW, ADD, ADDW, ADC,
SUB, SUBW, SBC, CP, and CPW instructions.
•

I1: Interrupt mask level 1

The I1 flag works in conjunction with the I0 flag to define the current interruptability level as
shown in Table 1. These flags can be set and cleared by software through the RIM, SIM,
HALT, WFI, WFE, IRET, TRAP, and POP instructions and are automatically set by hardware
when entering an interrupt service routine.

H: Half carry bit

The H bit is set to 1 when a carry occurs between the bits 3 and 4 of the ALU during an ADD
or ADC instruction. The H bit is useful in BCD arithmetic subroutines.
•

I0: Interrupt mask level 0

See Flag I1.
•

N: Negative

When set to 1, this bit indicates that the result of the last arithmetic, logical or data
manipulation is negative (i.e. the most significant bit is a logic 1).
•

Z: Zero

When set to 1, this bit indicates that the result of the last arithmetic, logical or data
manipulation is zero.
•

C: Carry

When set, C indicates that a carry or borrow out of the ALU occurred during the last
arithmetic operation on the MSB operation result bit. This bit is also affected during bit test,
branch, shift, rotate and load instructions. See the ADD, ADC, SUB, and SBC instructions.
In a division operation, C indicates if trouble occurred during execution (quotient overflow or
zero division). See the DIV instruction.
In bit test operations, C is the copy of the tested bit. See the BTJF and BTJT instructions.
In shift and rotate operations, the carry is updated. See the RRC, RLC, SRL, SLL, and SRA
instructions.
This bit can be set, reset or complemented by software using the SCF, RCF, and CCF
instructions.
Example: Addition
$B5 + $94 = "C" + $49 = $149

Global configuration register (CFG_GCR)

1.3.1

Activation level
The MCU activation level is configured by programming the AL bit in the CFG_GCR register.
For information on the use of this bit refer to Section 12.4: Activation level/low power mode
control on page 162.

1.3.2

SWIM disable
By default, after an MCU reset, the SWIM pin is configured to allow communication with an
external tool for debugging or Flash/EEPROM programming. This pin can be configured by
the application for use as a general purpose I/O. This is done by setting the SWD bit in the
CFG_GCR register.

Flash program memory and data EEPROM

Proprietary code area (PCODE)
The proprietary code area (PCODE) can be used to protect proprietary software libraries
used to drive peripherals. It is available only in low, medium + and high-density devices.
The size of the PCODE area can be configured through the PCODE option byte
(PCODESIZE) in ICP mode (using the SWIM interface). This option byte specifies the
number of pages (256-byte granularity) allocated for the PCODE area starting from address
0x00 8000. Once programmed, the PCODE option byte cannot be erased, and the size of
the PCODE area remains fixed.
The minimum meaningful size of the PCODE area is 1 page (256 bytes) of which 128 bytes
are used to store the interrupt vectors.
While the PCODE is enabled the TRAP interrupt vector is write protected.
In medium+ density devices, the maximum size of the PCODE area is 128 pages ranging
from address 0x00 8000 to 0x00 FFFF. In high-density devices, the maximum size of the
PCODE area is 255 pages ranging from address 0x00 8000 to 0x01 7EFF.
The PCODE area is automatically readout protected except for the TRAP interrupt vector
(see Section 3.5.1: Readout protection, Table 5: Memory access versus programming
method(low-density devices), Table 6: Memory access versus programming method
(medium-density devices) and Table 7: Memory access versus programming method
(medium+ and high-density devices)). The readout protection cannot be disabled in this
area. This means that the content of the PCODE area cannot be read or modified.
The PCODE area can be accessed only through the TRAP vector.

3.4.6

User boot area (UBC)
The user boot area (UBC) contains the reset and the interrupt vectors. It can be used to
store the IAP and communication routines. The UBC area has a second level of protection
to prevent unintentional erasing or modification during IAP programming. This means that it
is always write protected and the write protection cannot be unlocked using the MASS keys.
The size of the UBC area can be obtained by reading the UBC option byte.
The size of the UBC area can be configured in ICP mode (using the SWIM interface)
through the UBC option byte. The UBC option byte specifies the number of pages allocated
for the UBC area starting from address 0x00 8000.
In medium-density STM8L05xx/15xx devices, the minimum meaningful size of the UBC
area is of 2 pages of which 1 is used to store the interrupt vectors.
In low, medium+ and high-density devices, the minimum meaningful size of the UBC area is
of 1 page of which 128 bytes are used to store the interrupt vectors.

Note:

When a PCODE area has been defined, the minimum size of the UBC should be
PCODESIZE+1. The portion of the UBC available to store the boot code is the area located
between the end of the PCODE area and the end of the defined UBC area.
In high-density STM8L05xx/15xx/16xx devices, the maximum size of the boot area is 255
pages ranging from address 0x00 8000 to 0x01 7EFF (including the interrupt vectors).
In medium+ density STM8L05xx/15xx devices, the maximum size of the boot area is 128
pages ranging from address 0x00 8000 to 0x00 FFFF (including the interrupt vectors).
In medium-density STM8L05xx/15xx devices, the maximum size of the boot area is 255
pages ranging from address 0x00 8000 to 0x00 FF7F(including the interrupt vectors).

Data EEPROM (DATA)
The data EEPROM area can be used to store application data. By default, the DATA area is
write protected to prevent unintentional modification when the main program is updated in
IAP mode. The write protection can be unlocked only by using a specific MASS key
sequence (refer to Enabling write access to the DATA area).
The size of the DATA area is 256 bytes in low-density STM8L05xxx/STM8L15xxx, 1 Kbyte
in medium and medium+ density STM8L15xxx devices and 2 Kbytes in high-density
STM8L15xxx/16xxx devices. It starts from address 0x00 1000 (see Figure 4, Figure 5 and

available) and ends at address 0x00 9FFF on low-density STM8L05xx/15xx devices,
0x00 FFFF on medium and medium+ density STM8L05xxx/15xxx devices and 0x01 7FFF
on high-density STM8L05xxx/15xxx/16xxx devices. It is used to store the application code
(see Figure 4, Figure 5 and Figure 6).

3.4.9

Option bytes
The option bytes are used to configure device hardware features and memory protection.
They are located in a dedicated memory array of one block.
The option bytes can be modified both in ICP/SWIM and in IAP mode, except for ROP and
UBC and PCODESIZE (when available).

the STM8 SWIM protocol and debug module user manual (UM0470) for details on how to
program them.

3.5

Memory protection

3.5.1

Readout protection
Readout protection is removed by programming the ROP option byte to 0xAA. When
readout protection is enabled, reading or modifying the Flash program memory and DATA
area in ICP mode (using the SWIM interface) is forbidden, whatever the write protection
settings.
Even if no protection can be considered as totally unbreakable, the readout feature provides
a very high level of protection for a general purpose microcontroller.
The readout protection can be disabled on the program memory, UBC, PCODE (when
available) and DATA areas, by reprogramming the ROP option byte in ICP mode. In this
case, the Flash program memory, the DATA area and the option bytes are automatically
erased and the device can be reprogrammed.
By default, the PCODE area is always readout protected except for the interrupt vector
TRAP (see Section 3.4.5: Proprietary code area (PCODE)).
Refer to Table 6: Memory access versus programming method (medium-density devices)
for details on memory access when readout protection is enabled or disabled.

3.5.2

Memory access security system (MASS)
After reset, the main program and DATA areas are protected against unintentional write
operations. They must be unlocked before attempting to modify their content. This unlock
mechanism is managed by the memory access security system (MASS).
The UBC area specified in the UBC option byte is always write protected (see Section 3.4.6:
User boot area (UBC)).
Once the memory has been modified, it is recommended to enable the write protection
again to protect the memory content against corruption.

Enabling write access to the main program memory
After a device reset, it is possible to disable the main program memory write protection by
writing consecutively two values called MASS keys to the FLASH_PUKR register (see
Section 3.9.3: Flash program memory unprotecting key register (FLASH_PUKR)). These
programmed keys are then compared to two hardware key values:
•

First hardware key: 0b0101 0110 (0x56)

•

Second hardware key: 0b1010 1110 (0xAE)

The following steps are required to disable write protection of the main program area:

DocID15226 Rev 14

47/597
60

Flash program memory and data EEPROM

RM0031

1.

Write a first 8-bit key into the FLASH_PUKR register. When this register is written for
the first time after a reset, the data bus content is not latched into the register, but
compared to the first hardware key value (0x56).

2.

If the key available on the data bus is incorrect, the FLASH_PUKR register remains
locked until the next reset. Any new write commands sent to this address are
discarded.

3.

If the first hardware key is correct when the FLASH_PUKR register is written for the
second time, the data bus content is still not latched into the register, but compared to
the second hardware key value (0xAE).

4.

If the key available on the data bus is incorrect, the write protection on program
memory remains locked until the next reset. Any new write commands sent to this
address is discarded.

5.

If the second hardware key is correct, the main program memory is write unprotected
and the PUL bit of the FLASH_IAPSR is set (see Section 3.9.5: Flash status register
(FLASH_IAPSR)) register.

Before starting programming, the application must verify that PUL bit is effectively set. The
application can choose, at any time, to disable again write access to the Flash program
memory by clearing the PUL bit.

Enabling write access to the DATA area
After a device reset, it is possible to disable the DATA area write protection by writing
consecutively two values called MASS keys to the FLASH_DUKR register (see
Section 3.9.6: Flash register map and reset values). These programmed keys are then
compared to two hardware key values:
•

First hardware key: 0b1010 1110 (0xAE)

•

Second hardware key: 0b0101 0110 (0x56)

The following steps are required to disable write protection of the DATA area:
1.

Write a first 8-bit key into the FLASH_DUKR register. When this register is written for
the first time after a reset, the data bus content is not latched into the register, but
compared to the first hardware key value (0xAE).

2.

If the key available on the data bus is incorrect, the application can re-enter two MASS
keys to try unprotecting the DATA area.

3.

If the first hardware key is correct, the FLASH_DUKR register is programmed with the
second key. The data bus content is still not latched into the register, but compared to
the second hardware key value (0x56).

4.

If the key available on the data bus is incorrect, the data EEPROM area remains write
protected until the next reset. Any new write command sent to this address is ignored.

5.

If the second hardware key is correct, the DATA area is write unprotected and the DUL
bit of the FLASH_IAPSR register is set (see Section 3.9.5: Flash status register
(FLASH_IAPSR)).

Before starting programming, the application must verify that the DATA area is not write
protected by checking that the DUL bit is effectively set. The application can choose, at any
time, to disable again write access to the DATA area by clearing the DUL bit.

3.5.3

Enabling write access to option bytes
The write access to the option byte area can be enabled by setting the OPT bit in the Flash
control register 2 (FLASH_CR2).

3.6

Flash program memory and data EEPROM

Memory programming
The main program memory, and the DATA area must be unlocked before attempting to
perform any program operation. The unlock mechanism depends on the memory area to be
programmed as described in Section 3.5.2: Memory access security system (MASS).

Note:

The PCODE area is always readout protected. The only way to reprogram it is to reset the
ROP option byte, thus erasing the Flash program memory, DATA area, and option bytes.

3.6.1

Read-while-write (RWW)
The RWW feature allows write operations to be performed on data EEPROM while reading
and executing the program memory. Execution time is therefore optimized. The opposite
operation is not allowed: Data memory cannot be read while writing to the program memory.
This RWW feature is always enabled and can be used at any time.

Note:

The RWW feature is not available on low-density devices. Refer to the datasheets for
addition information.

3.6.2

Byte programming
The main program memory and the DATA area can be programmed at byte level. To
program one byte, the application writes directly to the target address.
•

In the main program memory:
The application stops for the duration of the byte program operation.

•

In DATA area:
–

Program execution stops during the “End of high voltage” operation, that is when
the HVOFF flag is set, and the byte program operation is performed using the
read-while-write (RWW) capability in IAP mode.

To erase a byte, simply write 0x00 at the corresponding address.
The application can read the FLASH_IAPSR register to verify that the programming or
erasing operation has been correctly executed:
•

EOP flag is set after a successful programming operation

•

WR_PG_DIS is set when the software has tried to write to a protected page. In this
case, the write procedure is not performed.

As soon as one of these flags are set, a Flash interrupt is generated if it has been previously
enabled by setting the IE bit of the FLASH_CR1 register.

Automatic fast byte programming
The programming duration can vary according to the initial content of the target address. If
the word (4 bytes) containing the byte to be programmed is not empty, the whole word is
automatically erased before the program operation. On the contrary if the word is empty, no
erase operation is performed and the programming time is shorter (see tPROG in Table
“Flash program memory” in the datasheet).
However, the programming time can be fixed by setting the FIX bit of the FLASH_CR1
register to force the program operation to systematically erase the byte whatever its content
(see Section 3.9.1: Flash control register 1 (FLASH_CR1)). The programming time is
consequently fixed and equal to the sum of the erase and write time (see tPROG in Table
“Flash program memory” in the datasheet).

DocID15226 Rev 14

49/597

Flash program memory and data EEPROM

RM0031

Note:

To write a byte fast (no erase), the whole word (4 bytes) into which it is written must be
erased beforehand. Consequently, It is not possible to do two fast writes to the same word
(without an erase before the second write): The first write will be fast but the second write to
the other byte will require an erase.

3.6.3

Word programming
A word write operation allows an entire 4-byte word to be programmed in one shot, thus
minimizing the programming time.
As for byte programming, word operation is available both for the main program memory
and data EEPROM. The read-while-write (RWW) capability is also available when a word
programming operation is performed on the data EEPROM. Refer to the datasheets for
additional information.
•

In the main program memory:
The application stops for the duration of the byte program operation.

•

In DATA area:
–

Program execution does not stop, and the byte program operation is performed
using the read-while-write (RWW) capability in IAP mode.

To program a word, the WPRG bit in the FLASH_CR2 register must be previously set to
enable word programming mode (see Section 3.9.2: Flash control register 2
(FLASH_CR2)). Then, the 4 bytes of the word to be programmed must be loaded starting
with the first address. The programming cycle starts automatically when the 4 bytes have
been written.
As for byte operation, the EOP and the WR_PG_DIS control flags of FLASH_IAPSR,
together with the Flash interrupt, can be used to determine if the operation has been
correctly completed.

3.6.4

Block programming
Block program operations are much faster than byte or word program operations. In a block
program operation, a whole block is programmed or erased in a single programming cycle.
Refer to Table 4 for details on the block size according to the devices.
Block operations can be performed both to the main program memory and DATA area:
•

In the main program memory:
Block program operations to the main program memory have to be executed totally
from RAM.

•

In the DATA area
–

DATA block operations can be executed from the main program memory.
However, the data loading phase (see below) has to be executed from RAM.

There are three possible block operations:
•

Block programming, also called standard block programming: The block is
automatically erased before being programmed.

•

Fast block programming: No previous erase operation is performed.

•

Block erase

During block programming, interrupts are masked by hardware.

50/597

DocID15226 Rev 14

RM0031

Flash program memory and data EEPROM

Standard block programming
A standard block program operation allows a whole block to be written in one shot. The
block is automatically erase before being programmed.
To program a whole block in standard mode, the PRG bit in the FLASH_CR2 register must
be previously set to enable standard block programming (see Section 3.9.2: Flash control
register 2 (FLASH_CR2)). Then, the block of data to be programmed must be loaded
sequentially to the destination addresses in the main program memory or DATA area. This
causes all the bytes of data to be latched. To start programming the whole block, all bytes of
data must be written. All bytes written in a programming sequence must be in the same
block. This means that they must have the same high address: Only the six least significant
bits of the address can change. When the last byte of the target block is loaded, the
programming starts automatically. It is preceded by an automatic erase operation of the
whole block.
The EOP and the WR_PG_DIS control flags of the FLASH_IAPSR together with the Flash
interrupt can be used to determine if the operation has been correctly completed.

Fast block programming
Fast block programming allows programming without first erasing the memory contents.
Fast block programming is therefore twice as fast as standard programming.
This mode is intended only for programming parts that have already been erased. It is very
useful for programming blank parts with the complete application code, as the time saving is
significant.
Fast block programming is performed by using the same sequence as standard block
programming. To enable fast block programming mode, the FPRG bit of the FLASH_CR2
registers must be previously set.
The EOP and WR_PG_DIS bits of the FLASH_IAPSR register can be checked to determine
if the fast block programming operation has been correctly completed.
Caution:

The data programmed in the block are not guaranteed when the block is not blank before
the fast block program operation.

Block erasing
A block erase allows a whole block to be erased.
To erase a whole block, the ERASE bit in the FLASH_CR2 register must be previously set to
enable block erasing (see Section 3.9.2: Flash control register 2 (FLASH_CR2)). The block
is then erased by writing ‘0x00 00 00 00’ to any word inside the block. The word start
address must end with ‘0’, ‘4’, ‘8’, or ‘C’.
The EOP and the WR_PG_DIS control flags of the FLASH_IAPSR together with the Flash
interrupt can be used to determine if the operation has been correctly completed.

Option byte programming
Option byte programming is very similar to data EEPROM byte programming.
The application writes directly to the target address. The program does not stop and the
write operation is performed using the RWW capability.
Refer to the datasheet for details of the option byte contents.

3.7

Flash low-power modes
All STM8L05xx/15xx/16xx Flash program memory and data EEPROM have one low
consumption mode, IDDQ. In IDDQ mode, the memory is switched off. It is used for any of the
device low power modes: Halt, active-halt, low power wait, and low power run.
When the EEPM bit is set in FLASH_CR1 register, the Flash program memory and data
EEPROM automatically enter IDDQ mode when the code is executed from RAM or when the
device is in Wait mode.
Refer to Section 3.9.1: Flash control register 1 (FLASH_CR1) for details on WAITM and
EEPM bits.
When the Flash program memory and data EEPROM exit from IDDQ mode, the recovery
time is lower than 2.8 µs and depends on supply voltage and temperature.

3.8

ICP (in-circuit programming) and IAP (in-application
programming)
The in-circuit programming (ICP) method is used to update the entire content of the memory,
using the SWIM interface to load the user application into the microcontroller. ICP offers
quick and efficient design iterations and eliminates unnecessary package handling or
socketing of devices. The SWIM interface (single wire interface module) uses the SWIM pin
to connect to the programming tool.
In contrast to the ICP method, in-application programming (IAP) can use any communication
interface supported by the microcontroller (I/Os, I2C, SPI, USART...) to download the data to
be programmed in the memory. IAP allows the Flash program memory content to be
reprogrammed during application execution. Nevertheless, part of the application must have
been previously programmed in the Flash program memory using ICP.
Refer to the STM8L Flash programming manual (PM0054) and STM8 SWIM protocol and
debug manual (UM0470) for more information on programming procedures.

Single wire interface module (SWIM) and debug module (DM)

Single wire interface module (SWIM) and debug
module (DM)
This section applies to low-density STM8L05xx/STM8L15xx devices, medium-density
STM8L05xx/STM8L15xx devices, medium+ density STM8L05xx/STM8L15xx devices and
high-density STM8L05xx/STM8L15xx/STM8L16xx devices, unless otherwise specified.

4.1

SWIM and DM introduction
In-circuit debugging mode or in-circuit programming mode are managed through a single
wire hardware interface featuring ultrafast memory programming. Coupled with an in-circuit
debugging module, it also offers a non-intrusive emulation mode, making the in-circuit
debugger extremely powerful, close in performance to a full-featured emulator.

4.2

SWIM main features
•

Based on an asynchronous, high sink (8 mA), open-drain, bidirectional communication.

•

Allows reading or writing any part of memory space.

•

Access to CPU registers (A, X, Y, CC, SP). They are memory mapped for read or write
access.

•

Non intrusive read/write on the fly to the RAM and peripheral registers.

SWIM pin can be used as a standard I/O with some restrictions if you also want to use it for
debug. The most secure way is to provide on the PCB a strap option.

4.3

SWIM modes
After a power-on reset, the SWIM is reset and enters OFF mode.
1.

OFF: Default state after power-on reset. The SWIM pin cannot be used by the
application as an I/O.

2.

I/O: This state is entered by software writing to the SWD bit in the Global configuration
register (CFG_GCR). In this state, the SWIM pin can be used by the application as a
standard I/O pin. In case of a reset, the SWIM goes back to OFF mode.

3.

SWIM: This state is entered when a specific sequence is performed on the SWIM pin.
In this state, the SWIM pin is used by the host tool to control the STM8 with 3
commands (SRST system reset, ROTF read on the fly, WOTF write on the fly).

Single wire interface module (SWIM) and debug module (DM)
Note:

RM0031

Refer to the STM8 SWIM communication Protocol and Debug Module User Manual for a
description of the SWIM and Debug module (DM) registers.
There are two important considerations to highlight for the devices where the NRST pin is
not present:

62/597

•

If the SWIM pin should be used with the I/O pin functionality, it is recommended to add
a ~5 seconds delay in the firmware before changing the functionality on the pin with
SWIM functions. This action allows the user to set the device into SWIM mode after the
device power on and to be able to reprogram the device. If the pin with SWIM
functionality is set to I/O mode immediately after the device reset, the device is unable
to connect through the SWIM interface and it will be locked forever (if the NRST pin is
not available on the package). This initial delay can be removed in the final (locked)
code.

•

Their program memory must contain a valid program loop. If the device's memory is
empty, the program continues into non-existing memory space and executes invalid
opcode; this causes the device to reset (reading of non-existing memory is random
content). This behavior might lead to periodic device resets and to a difficulty to
connect to the device through the SWIM interface.

6.1

Power supply
The device requires a 1.65 V to 3.6 V operating voltage supply (VDD) (1.8 V to 3.6 V for
STM8L05xx value line devices). An internal voltage regulator is used to supply VCORE to the
digital core, SRAM, Flash memory and data EEPROM.

Power control (PWR)
External power supply pins:
The external power supply pins must be connected as follows:
•

•

VSSA; VDDA = 1.8 to 3.6 V, down to 1.65 V(a) at power-down: external power supplies
for analog peripherals (minimum voltage to be applied to VDDA is 1.8 V when the ADC1
is used). VDDA and VSSA must be connected to VDD and VSS, respectively.

•

VSSIO; VDDIO = 1.8 to 3.6 V, down to 1.65 V(a) at power-down: external power supplies
for I/Os. VDDIO and VSSIO must be connected to VDD and VSS, respectively.

•

VREF+; VREF- (for ADC1): external reference voltage for ADC1. Must be provided
externally through VREF+ and VREF- pin.

•

6.2

VSS; VDD = 1.8 to 3.6 V, down to 1.65 V(a) at power-down: external power supply for
I/Os and for the internal regulator. Provided externally through VDD pins, the
corresponding ground pin is VSS.

VREF+ (for DAC)(a): external voltage reference for DAC must be provided externally
through VREF+.

Power-on reset (POR)/power-down reset (PDR)
The device has an integrated POR/PDR circuitry that allows operation down to 1.5 V typical.
During power-on, the device remains in Reset mode when VDD/VDDA is below a specified
threshold, VPOR, without the need for an external reset circuit. The POR feature is always
enabled and the POR threshold is around 1.5 V. During power-down, the PDR keeps the
device under reset when the supply voltage (VDD) drops below the VPDR threshold. The
PDR feature is always enabled and the PDR threshold is 1.5 V.
In low-density devices, medium-density devices and in the medium+ and high-density
devices operating from 1.8V to 3.6V (device part numbers without "D" suffix), the BOR starts
to work above the POR threshold (see Section 6.3: Brownout reset (BOR) on page 66). To
ensure the minimum operating voltage (1.65 V), the BOR should be configured to BOR
Level 0.
When the BOR is disabled, a "grey zone" exists between the minimum operating voltage
(1.65 V)(a) and the VPOR/VPDR threshold. This means that VDD can be lower than 1.65 V
without device reset until the VPDR threshold is reached. For more details concerning the
power on/power down reset threshold, refer to the electrical characteristics of the datasheet.

Brownout reset (BOR)
For low-density devices, medium-density devices and for medium+ and high-density
devices operating from 1.8 V to 3.6 V, the BOR is always active at power-on, keeping the
MCU under reset till the application operating threshold is reached.
At power-down, the BOR threshold is also used to generate a reset.
This BOR threshold (VBOR) can be configured using the option bytes. Five different levels
can be selected, starting from 1.8 V to 3 V . If the BOR is disabled, the reset threshold is
VPDR at power-down: this guarantees a VDD min. value of 1.65 V(a). Refer to Figure 14.
The power control unit (PWR) has an internal reference voltage which is used by the BOR
or by other analog features.
To reduce the power consumption in Halt mode, it is possible to automatically switch off the
internal voltage reference using the ULP bit in the PWR_CSR2 register. In this case, when
the MCU wakes up from Halt mode there is an additional delay for the internal reference
voltage startup. This delay can be configured using the FWU bit in the PWR_CSR2 register
(see Table 10).
Enabling the BOR guarantees that the MCU is safely used as it cannot run when VDD is
below the operating range.

6.4

Programmable voltage detector (PVD)
The device features an embedded programmable voltage detector (PVD) that monitors the
VDD/VDDA power supply and compares it to the VPVD threshold.
When VDD/VDDA drops below the VPVD threshold and/or when VDD/VDDA rises higher than
the VPVD threshold, the PVD output changes and a PVD event is generated. Every PVD
event sets the interrupt flag (PVDIF) in the PWR_CSR1 register. The current state of the
PVD output can be monitored through the PVDOF flag status in the PWR_CSR1 register. If
the PVDIEN bit in the PWR_CSR1 register is set, the PVD interrupt is enabled and is
generated when the PVDIF flag is set. To prevent some spurious interrupts, as the PVDIF
flag must be cleared by software, the user must make sure the PVDIF flag has been cleared
before the PVD interrupt is enabled and before returning from the interrupt service. The
PVD is enabled by software by setting the PVDE bit in the PWR_CSR1 register.
This PVD has 7 different levels between 1.85 V and 3.05 V, selected by the PLS[2:0] bits in
the PWR_CSR1 register, in steps of around 200 mV. Refer to the “Power-up / power-down
operating conditions” section in the product datasheet.
The external reference voltage on the PVD_IN input pin can be selected by setting the
PLS[2:0] bits to 111.

Note:

The voltage injected on PVD_IN (PE6) is compared to the VREFINT internal voltage
reference.

Internal voltage reference (VREFINT)
The functions managed through the internal voltage reference (VREFINT) are BOR, PVD,
ADC, LCD internal VLCD booster and comparators. The internal voltage reference
(VREFINT) is always enabled. The internal voltage reference consumption is not negligible in
Halt and Active-halt mode. To reduce power consumption in these modes, the ULP bit (Ultra
low power) in the PWR_CSR2 register can be set to disable the internal voltage reference
during Halt and Active-halt modes. In this case, when exiting from these modes, the
functions managed through the internal voltage reference are not reliable during the internal
voltage reference startup time tVREFINT (up to 3 ms, refer to datasheet). To reduce the
wakeup time, the device can exit from Halt/Active-halt mode without waiting for the internal
voltage reference startup time. This is performed by setting the FWU bit (Fast wakeup) in
the PWR_CSR2 register before entering halt/Active-halt mode. The VREFINTF flag in the
PWR_CSR register indicates that the internal voltage reference is ready. Consequently, the
analog functions listed above can be used.

2. Refer to the product datasheet for the values of wakeup times.

6.6

Voltage regulator
The device has an internal voltage regulator for generating the 1.8 V power supply (VCORE)
for the core and peripherals.
This regulator has two different modes:
•

Main voltage regulator mode (MVR) for Run, Wait for interrupt (WFI) and Wait for event
(WFE) modes.

•

Ultra-low-power regulator mode (ULP) for Halt and Active-halt modes.

The regulator mode switches modes automatically, depending in some cases on some

RM0031

Low power modes
By default, the microcontroller is in Run mode after a system or power reset. However the
device supports five low power modes to achieve the best compromise between low power
consumption, short startup time and available wakeup sources:
•

Wait mode: The CPU clock is stopped, but selected peripherals keep running. An
internal or external interrupt, event or Reset can be used to exit the microcontroller
from Wait mode. Refer to Section 7.3: Wait mode (WFI or WFE mode) on page 73

•

Low power run mode: The CPU and the selected peripherals are running. Execution
is done from RAM with a low speed oscillator (LSI or LSE). Flash and data EEPROM
are stopped and the voltage regulator is configured in Ultra Low Power mode. The
microcontroller enters Low power run mode by software and can exit from this mode by
software or by a reset.
All interrupts must be masked. They cannot be used to exit the microcontroller from this
mode.

•

Low power wait mode: This mode is entered when executing a Wait for event in Low
power run mode. It is similar to Low power run mode except that the CPU clock is
stopped. The wakeup from this mode is triggered by a Reset or by an internal or
external event (peripheral event generated by the timers, serial interfaces, DMA
controller, comparators and I/O ports). When the wakeup is triggered by an event, the
system goes back to Low power run mode.
All interrupts must be masked. They cannot be used to exit the microcontroller from this
mode.

•

Active-halt mode: The CPU and peripheral clocks are stopped, except the RTC. The
wakeup can be triggered by RTC interrupts, external interrupts or reset.

•

Halt mode: The CPU and peripheral clocks are stopped, the device remains powered
on. The wakeup is triggered by an external interrupt or reset. A few peripherals also
have wakeup from Halt capability. Switching off the internal reference voltage further
reduces power consumption. Through software configuration (see Table 10) it is also
possible to have a fast wakeup time of 6 µs, without waiting for the internal reference
voltage startup time.

1. Before executing the HALT instruction, the application must clear any pending peripheral interrupt by clearing the interrupt
pending bit in the corresponding peripheral configuration register. Otherwise, the HALT instruction is not executed and
program execution continues.

In addition, the power consumption in Run mode can be reduced by one of the following
means:

7.1

•

Slowing down the system clocks

•

Gating the peripherals clocks when they are unused.

Slowing down the system clocks
In Run mode, choosing the clock frequency is very important to ensure the best compromise
between performance and consumption. The selection is done by programming the
prescaler registers. These prescalers can also be used to slow down peripherals before
entering low power modes.

Note:

In applications where the MCU can be halted for certain periods, the power consumption
can be minimized by keeping a fast clock (high performance execution) during active
periods, in order to reduce the ratio between active periods and Halt (that is “zero”consumption) periods.

7.2

Peripheral clock gating (PCG)
For additional power saving, you can use Peripheral Clock Gating (PCG). This can be done
at any time by selectively enabling or disabling the SYSCLK clock connection to individual
peripherals. These settings are effective in both Run and Wait modes.
Each PCG state represents a specific power or low power level. It is controlled by the
Peripheral clock enable registers (CLK_PCKENR1, CLK_PCKENR2 & CLK_PCKENR3).

7.3

Wait mode (WFI or WFE mode)
Wait mode is entered from Run mode by executing a WFI (Wait For Interrupt) or WFE (Wait
For Event) instruction: this stops the CPU but allows the other peripherals and interrupt
controller to continue running. The consumption decreases accordingly. Wait mode can be
combined with PCG to further reduce power consumption of the device.
In Wait mode, all the registers and RAM contents are preserved and the clock configuration
selected through the Clock divider register (CLK_CKDIVR) remains unchanged.

Wait for interrupt (WFI) mode
Wait for interrupt mode is entered from Run mode by executing a WFI (Wait For Interrupt)
instruction.
When an internal or external interrupt request occurs, the CPU wakes up from WFI mode,
serves the interrupt and resumes processing.

Note:

In an interrupt based application, where most of the processing is done through the interrupt
routines, the main program may be suspended by setting the activation level bit (AL) in the
CFG_GCR register. Setting this bit causes the CPU to return to WFI mode without restoring
the main execution context. This saves power by removing both the save/restore context
activity and the need for a main software loop execution for power management (in order to
return to WFI mode).

7.5

Wait for event (WFE) mode
Wait for event mode is entered from Run mode by executing a WFE instruction.
Interrupt requests during this mode are served normally, depending on the value of the I0
and I1 bits in the CPU_CC register.
Peripheral events can be generated by the timers, serial interfaces, DMA controller,
comparators and I/O ports. These are enabled by the WFE_CRx registers.
When a peripheral event is enabled, the corresponding interrupts are not served and you
have to clear the corresponding flag status.
There are two ways to wake up the CPU from WFE mode:
•

Interrupts: when an interrupt occurs, the CPU wakes up from WFE mode and serves
the interrupt. After processing the interrupt, the processor goes back to WFE mode.

•

Wakeup events: when a wakeup event occurs, the CPU wakes up and resumes
processing. As the processing resumes directly after the WFE instruction, there is no
context save/restore activity (this saves time and power consumption).

Further power consumption reduction may be achieved using this mode together with
execution from RAM. In some very low power applications, when the main software routine
is short and has a low execution time, this routine can be moved to RAM and executed from
RAM. As the Flash program memory is not used at wakeup, the power consumption is then
reduced during run time.
At any time, another routine (stored in the Flash program memory) can be executed by
software by simply calling/jumping to this routine.

Low power modes

Low power run mode
This mode is based on code fetch from RAM with the regulator in ultra-low-power mode
(ULP) and EEPROM in IDDQ.
While using this mode you have to switch from high speed clock sources to low speed clock
sources.

Note:

The ADC cannot be used in Low Power Run mode and must be disabled.

7.6.1

Entering Low power run mode
This mode is entered by executing the following software sequence:

7.6.2

1.

Jump to RAM

2.

Switch system clock to LSI or LSE clock sources

3.

Switch off the high speed oscillators, the ADC and all unused peripherals

4.

Mask all interrupts

5.

Switch off the Flash/Data EEPROM by setting EEPM bit in FLASH_CR1 register

6.

Add a software delay loop to ensure Flash/Data EEPROM off status

7.

Configure the ultra-low-power mode for the regulator by setting the REGOFF bit in the
CLK_REGCSR register

Exiting Low power run mode
The only way to exit this mode is to follow these steps:

7.7

1.

Switch on the main regulator by resetting the REGOFF bit in the CLK_REGCSR
register. The REGREADY flag in the CLK_REGCSR register is set when the regulator
is ready.

2.

Switch on the Flash/Data EEPROM by resetting EEPM bit in FLASH_CR1 register. The
EEREADY flag in the CLK_REGCSR register is set when the Flash/Data EEPROM is
ready.

3.

Reset interrupt mask.

4.

Switch on what is necessary and jump to Flash/Data EEPROM if needed.

Low power wait mode
This mode is entered by executing a WFE instruction when the MCU is in Low power run
mode. It can be exited only by means of an external or internal event. In this case the MCU
returns to Low power run mode.

DocID15226 Rev 14

Low power modes

7.8

RM0031

Halt mode
In this mode the system clock is stopped. This means that the CPU and all the peripherals
clocked by SYSCLK or by derived clocks are disabled, except for the following cases:
•

The HSI clock is not stopped if used by SWIM

•

The system clock source is not stopped if a Flash/Data EEPROM write operation is in
progress

•

The LSI clock is not stopped if used by the SWIM, the IWDG or if the “IWDG_HALT”
option bit is disabled.

In Halt mode, none of the peripherals are clocked and the digital part of the MCU consumes
almost no power.

7.8.1

Entering Halt mode
The MCU enters Halt mode when a HALT instruction is executed.

Note:

It is recommended not to enter Halt/Active-halt mode from the Low power run mode.
Otherwise, the only safe way to exit one of these two modes is to reset the MCU.
Before executing a HALT instruction, the application must clear all pending peripheral
interrupts by clearing the interrupt pending bit in the corresponding peripheral configuration
register. Otherwise, the HALT instruction is not executed and program execution continues.
However, the Halt procedure can be delayed if one of the following flags is set:
•

SWBSY flag in the CLK_SWCR register

•

EEBUSY flag in the CLK_CLK_REGCSR register

•

RTCSWBSY flag in the CLK_CRTCR register

•

BEEPSWBSY flag in the CLK_CBEEPR register when BEEP in Active-halt mode
enabled.

If SAHALT bit is set in the CLK_ICKCR register the main regulator (MVR) will be switched
off without taking into account that some high-speed clock may be used by the system.

7.8.2

Exiting Halt mode
Wakeup from Halt mode is triggered by an external interrupt sourced by a general purpose
I/O port configured as interrupt input or by an alternate function pin capable of triggering a
peripheral interrupt.
The system clock is restarted with a frequency depending on the FHW bit in the
CLK_ICKCR register. If the FHW bit is set, HSI/8 is the system clock, otherwise the system
clock is the last selected clock source before entering Halt mode.
In an interrupt based application, where most of the processing is done through the interrupt
routines, the main program may be suspended by setting the activation level bit (AL) in the
CPU configuration register. Setting this bit causes the CPU to return to Halt mode when
executing the return from interrupt, without restoring the main execution context.
Power consumption is reduced as there is no save/restore context activity and no need for a
main software loop execution for power management (in order to return to WFI mode).
After a wake up from Halt mode, the LCD clock switches from RTCCLK to SYSCLK. To
have a stable clock signal without glitches, 2 RTCCLK cycles are needed for

Low power modes
synchronization reasons. Consequently, read/write access to LCD registers is not possible
during this period.

7.9

Active-halt mode
Active-halt mode is similar to Halt mode.

Note:

It is recommended not to enter Halt/Active-Halt mode from the Low power run mode.
Otherwise, the only safe way to exit one of these two modes is to reset the MCU.
In Active-halt mode, the main oscillator, the CPU and almost all peripherals are stopped.
Only oscillator or the LSE crystal is running to drive the SWIM, beeper, IWDG, RTC and
LCD if enabled.

•

Independent watchdog reset (IWDG)

•

“Reset state” and “under reset” definitions
When a reset occurs, there is a reset phase from the external pin pull-down to the internal
reset signal release. During this phase, the microcontroller sets some hardware
configurations before going to the reset vector.
At the end of this phase, most of the registers are configured with their “reset state” values.
During the reset phase, i.e. “under reset”, some pin configurations may be different from
their “reset state” configuration.

8.2

External reset (NRST pin)

8.2.1

Asynchronous external reset description
The NRST pin is both an input and an open-drain output with an integrated RPU weak pullup resistor.
A low pulse of minimum 300 ns on the NRST pin is needed to generate an external reset.
The reset detection is asynchronous and therefore the MCU can enter reset even in Halt
mode.

84/597

DocID15226 Rev 14

RM0031

Reset (RST)
The NRST pin also acts as an open-drain output for resetting external devices.
Any reset pulse from an internal reset source holds the NRST output low for at least 20 µs.
The internal RPU weak pull-up ensures a high level on the NRST pin when the reset is not
forced low.

8.2.2

Configuring NRST/PA1 pin as general purpose output
To optimize the number of available pins, the NRST pin (external reset) can be configured
as a general purpose push-pull output (PA1).
For security, this configuration can be performed once only after reset, by writing a specified
key (0xD0) to the Reset pin configuration register (RST_CR).
When the PA1 pin is configured as a general purpose output, the MCU can be reset only by
a power-on reset (POR) or other internal reset source.

8.3

Internal reset
For internal reset sources, the NRST pin is kept low during the delay phase generated by
the pulse generator.
Each internal reset source is linked to a specific flag bit in the Reset status register
(RST_SR). These flags are set at reset state depending on the given reset source.
Consequently, they can be used to identify the last reset source. They are cleared by
software by writing the logic value ‘1’.

Note:

All flags besides the POR flag are reset at POR.

8.3.1

Power-on reset (POR)
During power-on, the POR keeps the device in reset mode until VDD reaches a specified
threshold. The POR reset is then held for a specified time to ensure that VDD has reached
the minimum operating voltage. See Electrical parameters section in the datasheet for more
details.

8.3.2

Independent watchdog reset
Refer to the independent watchdog chapter for details.
A reset can be triggered by the application software using the Independent watchdog.

8.3.3

Window watchdog reset
Refer to the window watchdog chapter for details.

8.3.4

SWIM reset
An external device connected to the SWIM interface can request the SWIM block to
generate an MCU reset.

8.3.5

Illegal opcode reset
A system of illegal opcode detection is implemented to enhance device robustness against
unexpected behaviors. If the code to be executed does not correspond to any opcode or

Introduction
The clock controller is designed to be very robust and at the same time easy to use. Its
purpose is to obtain the best performance in the application while at the same time get the
full benefit of all the microcontroller power saving capabilities.
You can manage the clock distribution to the CPU and to the various peripherals, in order to
optimize the power consumption.
A safe and glitch-free switch mechanism allows you to switch the system clock division
factor on the fly, by means of clock prescaler.

Clock control (CLK)
Four different clock sources can be used to drive the system clock:
•

16 MHz high-speed internal (HSI) factory-trimmed RC clock

•

1 to 16 MHz high-speed external (HSE) oscillator clock

•

32.768 kHz low-speed external (LSE) oscillator clock

•

38 kHz low-speed internal (LSI) low-consumption clock

Each clock source can be switched on or off independently when it is not used, to optimize
power consumption.
These four clocks can be used with a programmable prescaler (factor 1 to 128) to drive the
system clock (SYSCLK). The SYSCLK is used to clock the core, memory and peripherals.
After reset, the device restarts by default with the HSI clock divided by 8. The prescaler ratio
and clock source can be changed by the application program as soon as the code execution
starts.
All the peripheral clocks are derived from the system clock (SYSCLK) except:

9.2

•

The BEEP clock which is derived from the LSE or LSI clocks. This selection is made by
programming the CLKBEEPSEL[1:0] bits in the Clock BEEP register (CLK_CBEEPR).

•

The RTC and the LCD clock which is derived from the LSE, LSI HSI or HSE (HSI and
HSE are divided by a programmable prescaler in CLK_CRTCR register). For more
information about the RTC and LCD clock source configuration please refer to
Section 9.9: RTC and LCD clock

•

The IWDG clock which is always the LSI clock.

HSE clock
The high-speed external clock signal (HSE) can be generated from two possible clock
sources:

Note:

•

HSE external crystal/ceramic resonator

•

HSE user external clock

The resonator and the load capacitors have to be placed as close as possible to the
oscillator pins in order to minimize output distortion and start-up stabilization time. The
loading capacitance values must be adjusted according to the selected oscillator.

External crystal/ceramic resonator (HSE crystal)
The 1 to 16 MHz external oscillator has the advantage of producing a very accurate rate on
the main clock with 50% duty cycle.
The associated hardware configuration is shown in Figure 18. Refer to the electrical
characteristics section in the product datasheet for more details.
At start up the clock signal produced by the oscillator is not stable, and by default a delay of
1 oscillator cycle is inserted before the clock signal is released. You can program another
stabilization time in the HSECNT option byte, please refer to option bytes section in the
datasheet.
The HSERDY flag in the External clock register (CLK_ECKCR) indicates if the high-speed
external oscillator is stable or not. At startup, the clock is not released until this bit is set by
hardware.
The HSE crystal can be switched on and off using the HSEON bit in the External clock
register (CLK_ECKCR).
External source (HSE bypass)
In this mode, an external clock source must be provided. It can have a frequency up to
16 MHz. The application can select this mode by setting the HSEBYP and HSEON bits in
the External clock register CLK_ECKCR. The external clock signal (square, sinus or
triangle) with ~50% duty cycle has to drive the OSC_IN pin while the OSC_OUT pin is
available as standard I/O. See Figure 18.

Clock control (CLK)

Note:

Before selecting this mode, you have to make sure that the HSE clock source is not used by
the RTC, output or involved in a switching operation.

9.3

HSI clock
The HSI clock signal is generated from an internal 16 MHz RC.
At startup the system clock source is automatically selected as HSI RC clock output divided
by 8 (HSI/8).
The HSI RC oscillator has the advantage of providing a 16-MHz system clock source with
50% duty cycle at low cost (no external components). It also has a faster startup time than
the HSE crystal oscillator however, even with calibration the frequency is less accurate than
an external crystal oscillator or ceramic resonator.

Calibration
Each device is factory-calibrated. After reset, the factory calibration value is automatically
loaded in the HSI calibration register (CLK_HSICALR)) and used for trimming the HSI
oscillator. The read only content of the CLK_HSICALR register can be used as a reference
for a calibration by the user.
If the application is subject to voltage or temperature variations, this may affect the RC
oscillator speed. You can trim the HSI frequency in the application using the HSI clock
calibration trimming register (CLK_HSITRIMR). This register provides the internal HSI
calibration register value.
Before writing to this register, you have to unlock the hardware write protection and then use
the following procedure:

Note:

1.

Two consecutive write accesses to the HSI unlock register (CLK_HSIUNLCKR), the
first one with the value 0xAC and the second one with the value 0x35.

2.

Write the HSI trimming value to the HSI clock calibration trimming register
(CLK_HSITRIMR).

Any other attempt to read/write data from/to CLK registers breaks the unlocking process
and the hardware protection is set again.
When this procedure is properly completed, register CLK_HSITRIMR is locked again and
the written HSI trimming value is the calibration value used to trim the HSI oscillator.
Backup source
The HSI clock can also be used as a backup source (auxiliary clock) if the HSE crystal
oscillator fails. Refer to Section 9.8: Clock security system (CSS) on page 96.

Fast wakeup feature
If the FHWU bit in the Internal clock register (CLK_ICKCR) is set, this automatically selects
the HSI clock as system clock after the MCU wakeup from Halt or Active-halt mode.
Otherwise, the same clock source as that used before entering Halt or Active-halt mode is
selected.

RM0031

LSE clock
The LSE crystal is a 32.768 kHz low speed external crystal or ceramic resonator. It has the
advantage of providing a low power and highly accurate clock source to the real-time clock
peripheral (RTC) for clock/calendar or other timing functions.
The LSE crystal is switched on and off using the LSEON bit in the external clock register
(CLK_ECKCR). It is also automatically switched on when it is selected as RTC, CCO, Beep
or system clock source. At startup, the LSE crystal output clock signal is transmitted to the
MCU after the LSERDY flag has been set by hardware in the external clock register
(CLK_ECKCR).

Note:

It is forbidden to enable CCO before the end of the LSE startup time tSU(LSE).
It is also recommended to wait for this LSE startup time before enabling other features using
the LSE, in order to have a stabilized frequency.

External source (LSE bypass)
In this mode, an external clock source must be provided. It must have a frequency of 32.768
kHz. The application can select this mode by setting the LSEBYP and LSEON bits in the
External clock register (CLK_ECKCR). The external clock signal (square, sinus or triangle)
with ~50% duty cycle has to drive the OSC32_IN pin while the OSC32_OUT pin is available
as standard I/O. See Figure 18.
Note:

Before selecting this mode, you have to make sure that the LSE clock source is not used by
the RTC output or involved in a switching operation.

9.5

LSI clock
The LSI RC acts as a low power clock source that can be kept running in Active-halt and
Run modes for the independent watchdog (IWDG). The clock frequency is around 38 kHz.
For more details, refer to the electrical characteristics section in the product datasheet.
The LSI RC can be switched on and off using the LSION bit in the internal clock register
(CLK_ICKCR).
To detect a sequence of entry into SWIM mode, the LSI is automatically kept enabled in all
modes except Halt and Active-halt modes. Consequently, the LSI can be switched off by
clearing the LSION bit only if no peripheral is clocked by the LSI and after SWIM has been
disabled by setting the SWD bit in the CFG_GCR register. The LSI is not kept ON by the
SWIM in Halt and Active-halt mode.
The LSIRDY flag in the Internal clock register (CLK_ICKCR) indicates if the low-speed
internal oscillator is stable or not. At startup, the clock is not released until this bit is set by
hardware.

System clock sources

9.6.1

System startup
For fast system startup, after a reset the clock controller configures the system clock source
as HSI RC clock output divided by 8 (HSI/8). This is to take advantage of the short
stabilization time of the HSI oscillator.
Once the system clock is released, the user program can switch the system clock to another
clock source (LSI, HSE, or LSE) and/or modify the prescaler ratio.

9.6.2

System clock switching procedures
The clock switching feature provides an easy to use, fast and secure way for the application
to switch from one system clock source to another.
To switch clock sources, you can proceed in one of two ways:
•

Automatic switching

•

Manual switching

Automatic switching
The automatic switching enables the user to launch a clock switch with a minimum number
of instructions. The software can continue doing other operations without taking care of the
switch event exact time.
Refer to the flowchart in Figure 19.
Use the following procedure:
1.

Enable the switching mechanism by setting the SWEN bit in the Switch control register
(CLK_SWCR).

2.

Write the 8-bit value used to select the target clock source in the System clock switch
register (CLK_SWR). The SWBSY bit in the CLK_SWCR register is set by hardware,
and the target source oscillator starts. The old clock source continues to drive the CPU
and peripherals.

As soon as the target clock source is ready (stabilized), the content of the CLK_SWR
register is copied to the System clock status register (CLK_SCSR).
The SWBSY bit is cleared and the new clock source replaces the old one. If the SWIEN bit
is set, the SWIF flag in the CLK_SWCR is set and an interrupt is generated.

Manual switching
The manual switching is not as immediate as the automatic switching but it offers to the user
a precise control of the switch event time.
Refer to the flowchart in Figure 20.

DocID15226 Rev 14

93/597

Clock control (CLK)

RM0031

1.

Write the 8-bit value used to select the target clock source in the System clock switch
register (CLK_SWR). Then the SWBSY bit is set by hardware, and the target source
oscillator starts. The old clock source continues to drive the CPU and peripherals.

2.

The software has to wait until the target clock source is ready (stabilized). This is
indicated by the SWIF flag in the CLK_SWCR register and by an interrupt if the SWIEN
bit is set.

3.

The final software action is to set, at the chosen time, the SWEN bit in the CLK_SWCR
register to execute the switch.

In both manual and automatic switching modes, the old system clock source will not be
powered off automatically in case it is required by other blocks (the LSI RC may be used to
drive the independent watchdog for example). The clock source can be powered off using
the bits in the Internal clock register (CLK_ICKCR) and the external clock register
(CLK_ECKCR).
If the clock switch does not work for any reason, software can reset the current switch
operation by clearing the SWBSY flag. This will restore the CLK_SWR register to its
previous content (old system clock).
Note:

After having reset a clock master switch procedure by clearing the SWBSY flag, the
application must wait until a period of at least two clock cycles has elapsed before
generating any new clock master switch request.

Peripheral clock gating (PCG)
Peripheral clock Gating (PCG) mode selectively enables or disables the system clock
(SYSCLK) connection to peripherals at any time in run or slow mode to optimize power
consumption.
After a device reset, all peripheral clocks are disabled. The only bit which is enabled by
default at reset state is PCKEN27 as it is used for the BootROM. Software has to be
properly written to switch off the ROM clock after the Bootloader execution.
You can enable the clock to any peripheral by setting the corresponding PCKEN bit in the
CLK_PCKENRx peripheral clock gating registers.
•

To enable a peripheral, first enable the corresponding PCKEN bit in the CLK_PCKENR
registers and then set the peripheral enable bit in the peripheral control registers.

•

To disable properly the peripheral, first disable the appropriate bit in the peripheral
control registers and then stop the corresponding clock.

Note:

The beeper, RTC and LCD are fed by a specific clock different from SYSCLK, so that they
continue to run even if the clock gating to the peripheral registers is asserted.

9.8

Clock security system (CSS)

9.8.1

Clock security system on HSE
The clock security system (CSS) monitors HSE crystal clock source failures when HSE is
used as the system clock. If the HSE clock fails due to a broken or disconnected resonator
or any other reason, the clock controller activates a stall-safe recovery mechanism by
automatically switching SYSCLK to the HSI with the same division factor as that used
before the HSE clock failure. Once selected, the auxiliary clock source remains enabled
until the microcontroller is reset. The application can enable the clock security system by
setting the CSSEN bit in the Clock security system register (CLK_CSSR). For safety
reason, once CSS is enabled it cannot be disabled until the next device reset.
The following conditions must be met to detect HSE quartz crystal failures through the CSS:
•

HSE on and stabilized (HSEON=1 and HSERDY=1 in the External clock register
(CLK_ECKCR)

•

CSS function enabled (CSSEN=1 in the Clock security system register (CLK_CSSR))

If HSE is the current system clock when a failure is detected, the CSS performs the
following actions:

Note:

96/597

•

The HSI is switched on (if it was off) (HSION bit in Internal clock register (CLK_ICKCR)
register is set).

•

The HSE is switched off (HSEON bit in the CLK_ECKCR register is reset)

•

The AUX bit is set to indicate that the HSI is used as system clock source. The division
factor of the system clock is not modified.

•

All CLK registers are write protected except the System clock divider register
(CLK_CKDIVR). The application can still change the system clock prescaler.

•

The CSSD bit is set in the CLK_CSSR register and an interrupt is generated if the
CSSDIE bit is set.

CSSD and AUX flags are cleared only by device reset.

DocID15226 Rev 14

RM0031

Clock control (CLK)
If HSE is not the current system clock source when a failure is detected, the CSS performs
the following actions:
•

The HSE is switched off (HSEON bit in the CLK_ECKCR is reset)

•

The CSSD bit is set in the CLK_CSSR register and an interrupt is generated if the
CSSDIE bit is set.

When the CSSDIE bit is set, if the HSE clock fails, the CSS interrupt is triggered and is
executed indefinitely until the CSS interrupt enable bit is cleared. As a consequence, the
application must clear the CSSDIE bit in CLK_CSSR register in the CLK interrupt service
routine (ISR).
When the HSE is selected as system clock source, if the HSE fails before reaching the
required stabilization time, it is not detected (CSSD equal to zero) and the system clock
remains fed by the previous clock. In this case, the application must abort the clock
switching procedure by clearing the SWBSY bit in the Switch control register (CLK_SWCR).

9.8.2

Clock security system on LSE
A second clock security system is implemented on low, medium+ and high-density devices
to monitor LSE crystal clock source failures when LSE is used as RTC clock. The LSE
failure detection is made through the LSI oscillator.
This feature is implemented externally to the RTC peripheral and has no impact on clock
controller registers. To work properly, it requires an LSE clock frequency greater than LSI/4.
On medium+ and high-density devices, as the CSS_LSE is connected to RTC prescaler
output, the CSS_LSE logic only works if RTC clock is > LSI/4. Also the CSS_LSE logic
works only if the failure on LSE happens after RTC clock switching to LSE and enabling of
CSS_LSE feature.
Depending on the configuration of the SWITCHEN bit in the CSSLSE_CSR register, the
RTC clock can be automatically switched from LSE to LSI when a LSE failure is detected.
The application can enable the clock security system on LSE and switch to LSI by setting
respectively the CSSEN bit and the SWITCHEN bit in the CSSLSE_CSR register.
For safety reason, once the CSS on LSE is enabled, it cannot be disabled until the next
power-on reset.
The following conditions must be met to detect LSE quartz crystal failures through the CSS
on LSE when LSE is used as RTC clock source:

Note:

•

Enable the peripheral clock by setting the CSS_LSE bit in the CLK_PCKENR3 register

•

Enable the LSI clock by setting the LSION bit in the CLK_ICKCR register

•

Configure the LSE as RTC clock source through the CLK_CRTCR register.

If the CSS on LSE is enabled without configuring the LSE as RTC clock source, a false
failure will be detected, due to the fact that the RTC clock is missing.
•

Enable the CSS on LSE by setting the CSSEN bit in the CSSLSE_CSR register

97/597

Clock control (CLK)
Note:

RM0031

Before enabling the CSS on LSE, the user must wait until the LSE startup time tSU(LSE) has
elapsed

Note:

•

If needed, enable the automatic clock switch from LSE to LSI on LSE failures by setting
the SWITCHEN bit in the CSSLSE_CSR register.

•

When an LSE failure is detected:
–

The CSSF bit is set in the CSSLSE_CSR register and an interrupt is generated if
the CSSIE bit is set.

–

If the SWITCHEN bit is set : the RTC clock source is switched to LSI and the
SWITCHF bit is set in the CSSLSE_CSR register. The RTC clock source remains
the LSI until the next power-on reset. The CLK_CRTCR register is not updated by
the switch and cannot control the RTC clock until the next power-on.

Only the RTC peripheral is clocked by LSI instead of LSE when the SWITCHF bit is set.
–

If the SWITCHEN bit is reset: the RTC clock source remains the LSE clock.

RTC and LCD clock
The RTC has two clock sources:
•

RTCCLK used for RTC timer/counter
RTCCLK can be either the HSE, LSE, HSI or LSI clock. This selection is performed by
programming the RTCSEL[3:0] bits in the Clock RTC register (CLK_CRTCR). These
clocks can be optionally divided by a programmable divider (factor 1 to 64) by
programming the RTCDIV[2:0] bits in the Clock RTC register (CLK_CRTCR). When the
HSE or HSI clock is selected as RTCCLK source, this clock must be divided to have a
maximum of 1 MHz as input for the RTCCLK.

•

SYSCLK used for RTC register read/write accesses
SYSCLK is gated by bit 2 of the Peripheral clock gating register 2 (CLK_PCKENR2).

The LCD has two clock sources:
•

RTCCLK divided by 2 used to generate the LCD frame rate while it is sampled by the
LCDCLK signal input
This clock is gated by bit 3 in the Peripheral clock gating register 2 (CLK_PCKENR2).
As a consequence, even if the RTC is not used in the application, the RTCCLK must be
configured to drive the LCD.

•

LCDCLK used for LCD register read/write access and as an input frequency for the
LCD frame rate sampling
This clock is derived from SYSCLK by setting the bit 3 in the Peripheral clock gating
register 2 (CLK_PCKENR2). In Active-halt mode the LCDCLK source is RTCCLK
instead of SYSCLK.

programming the CLKBEEPSEL[1:0] bits in the Clock BEEP register (CLK_CBEEPR).

9.11

Configurable clock output capability (CCO)
The configurable clock output (CCO) capability allows you to output a clock on the external
CCO pin. You can select one of 4 clock signals as CCO clock:

Note:

•

fHSE

•

fHSI

•

fLSE

•

fLSI

50% duty cycle is not guaranteed on all possible prescaled values
The selection is controlled by the CCOSEL[3:0] bits in the Configurable clock output register
(CLK_CCOR). The clock frequency can then be prescaled. The division factor depends on
the CCODIV[2:0] bits.
The sequence to really output the chosen clock starts with the selection of the desired clock
and the division factor for the dedicated I/O pin (see “pin description” chapter). This I/O must
be set at 1 in the corresponding Px_CR1 register to be set as input with pull-up or push-pull
output. The PxCR2 register should be configured to match the maximum output speed of
the desired clock.
The CCOSWBSY is set to indicate that the configurable clock output system is operating.
As long as the CCOBSWY bit is set, the CCOSEL and CCODIV bits are write protected.
The CCO automatically activates the target oscillator if needed.
To disable the clock output the user has to clear the CCOSEL bits. The CCOSWBSY flag
remains at 1 till the shut down is completed. The time between the clear of CCOSEL bits
and the reset of the flag can be relatively long, for instance in case the selected clock output
is very slow compared to fCPU.

9.12

Clock-independent system clock sources for TIM2/TIM3
In some applications using the 32.768 kHz clock as a time base for the RTC, it may be
interesting to have time bases that work completely independently from the system clock.
The user can then schedule tasks without having to take into account the system clock.
For this purpose, the LSE clock is internally redirected to the 2 timers' ETR inputs (TIM2 and
TIM3) which are used as additional clock sources. Refer to Section 11.5.2: SYSCFG remap
control register 2 (SYSCFG_RMPCR2) on page 152.

Note:

The ETR prescaler of the corresponding timer must be set to have a ratio of at least 4 with
respect to the selected system clock.
The LSE clock must be properly switched on as defined in the CLK configuration registers.

General purpose I/O ports (GPIO)
This section applies to low-density STM8L05xx/STM8L15xx devices, medium-density
STM8L05xx/STM8L15xx devices, medium+ density STM8L05xx/STM8L15xx devices and
high-density STM8L05xx/STM8L15xx/STM8L16xx devices, unless otherwise specified.

10.1

Introduction
General purpose input/output ports are used for data transfers between the chip and the
external world. An I/O port can contain up to eight pins. Each pin can be individually
programmed as a digital input or digital output. In addition, some ports may have alternate
functions like analog inputs, external interrupts, input/output for on-chip peripherals. Only
one alternate function can be mapped to a pin at a time.
An output data register, input data register, data direction register and two configuration
registers are associated with each port. A particular port will behave as an input or output
depending on the status of the data direction register of the port.

10.2

GPIO main features
•

Port bits can be configured individually

•

Selectable input modes: floating input or input with pull-up

•

Selectable output modes: push-pull output or pseudo-open-drain.

•

Separate registers for data input and output

•

External interrupts can be enabled and disabled individually

•

Output slope control for reduced EMC noise

•

Alternate function I/Os for on-chip peripherals

•

Read-modify-write possible on data output latch

•

implemented.

10.3

Port configuration and usage
An output data register (ODR), pin input register (IDR), data direction register (DDR) are
always associated with each port.
The control register 1 (CR1) and control register 2 (CR2) allow input/output options. An I/O
pin is programmed using the corresponding bits in the DDR, ODR, CR1 and CR2 registers.
Bit n in the registers corresponds to pin n of the Port.
The various configurations are summarized in Table 23.

Warning:

10.3.1

On some packages, some ports must be considered as active
even if they do not exist on the package. To avoid spurious
effects, configure them as pull-up inputs without interrupt at
startup, and keep them in this state when changing the port
configuration. Refer to the datasheet for additional
information.

Input modes
Clearing the DDRx bit selects input mode. In this mode, reading a IDR bit returns the digital
value of the corresponding I/O pin.
Refer to Section 10.7: Input mode details on page 121 for information on analog input,
external interrupts and Schmitt trigger enable/disable.
As shown in , four different input modes can be theoretically be configured by software:
floating without interrupt, floating with interrupt, pull-up without interrupt or pull-up with
interrupt. However in practice, not all ports have external interrupt capability or pull-ups. You
should refer to the datasheet pin-out description for details on the actual hardware capability
of each port.

General purpose I/O ports (GPIO)

10.3.2

RM0031

Output modes
Setting the DDRx bit selects output mode. In this mode, writing to the ODR bits applies a
digital value to the I/O through the latch. Reading IDR bit returns the digital value from the
corresponding I/O pin. Using the CR1, CR2 registers, different output modes can be
configured by software: Push-pull output, Open-drain output.
Refer to Section 10.8: Output mode details on page 122 for more information.

10.4

Reset configuration
All I/O pins are generally input floating under reset (i.e. during the reset phase) and at reset
state (i.e. after reset release). However, a few pins may have a different behavior. Refer to
the datasheet pinout description for all details.

10.5

Unused I/O pins
Unused I/O pins must not be left floating to avoid extra current consumption. They must be
put into one of the following configurations:
•

connected to VDD or VSS by external pull-up or pull-down resistor and kept as input
floating (reset state),

•

configured as input with internal pull-up/down resistor,

•

configured as output push-pull low.

The I/O ports not present on smaller packages are automatically configured by a factory
setting (unless otherwise specified in the datasheet). As a consequence, no configuration is
required on these I/O ports. The bits corresponding to these ports in the configuration
registers Px_ODR, PxDDR, PxCR1 and PxCR2 can be written, but this will have no effect.
The value read in the corresponding bits of the PxIDR register will be '0'.

10.7

Input mode details

10.7.1

Alternate function input
Some I/Os can be used as alternate function input. For example as the port may be used as
the input capture input to a timer. Alternate function inputs are not selected automatically,
you select them by writing to a control bit in the registers of the corresponding peripheral.
For Alternate Function input, you should select floating or pull-up input configuration in the
DDR and CR1 registers.

10.7.2

Interrupt capability
Each I/O can be configured as an input with interrupt capability by setting the CR2x bit while
the I/O is in input mode. In this configuration, a signal edge or level input on the I/O
generates an interrupt request.
Falling or rising edge sensitivity is programmed independently for each interrupt vector in
the EXTI_CR[2:1] registers.
External interrupt capability is only available if the port is configured in input mode.

Interrupt masking
Interrupts can be enabled/disabled individually by programming the corresponding bit in the
configuration register (Px_CR2). At reset state, the interrupts are disabled.
On all I/Os with an analog input, it is possible to disable the Schmitt trigger, even if the
corresponding ADC channel is not enabled. The two registers ADC_TDRH and ADC_TDRL
allow to disable the Schmitt trigger.
Setting one bit in these registers leads to disabling the corresponding Schmitt trigger input
buffer.
In case an I/O is used as analog input, and the corresponding ADC channel is enabled
(CH[3:0] bits in ADC_CSR register), the Schmitt trigger is disabled, whatever the status of
the corresponding bit in ADC_TDRH or ADC_TDRL registers.

10.7.3

Analog function
Selected I/Os can be used to deliver analog signal to ADC, Comparators or DAC periphery.
The GPIO pin have to be configured in the input floating configuration without interrupt
(default state) to use it for analog function. The current consumption of the IO with enabled
analog function can be reduced by disabling unused Schmitt trigger in IO input section
either by ADC_TRIGRx register in ADC interface (see Section 14.3.15: Schmitt trigger
disabling) or by switching on a corresponding analog switch in RI by setting corresponding
CHxE bit in RI_IOSRx (see Section 11.2.2: I/O groups). See the product datasheet for pins
with analog functions.

10.8

Output mode details

10.8.1

Alternate function output
Alternate function outputs provide a direct path from a peripheral to an output or to an I/O
pad, taking precedence over the port bit in the data output latch register (Px_ODR) and
forcing the Px_DDR corresponding bit to 1.
An alternate function output can be push-pull or pseudo-open drain depending on the
peripheral and Control register 1 (Px_CR1) and slope can be controlled depending on the
Control register 2 (Px_CR2) values.
Examples:
SPI outputs must be set-up as push-pull. The slope of SPI outputs is controlled by hardware
and configured in fast mode to enable an optimal operation. The user must then keep the
CR2 slope control bit cleared to avoid spurious interrupts.

10.8.2

Slope control
The maximum frequency that can be applied to an I/O can be controlled by software using
the CR2 bit. Low frequency operation with improved EMC behavior is selected at reset.
Higher frequency (up to 10 MHz) can be selected if needed. This feature can be applied in
either open drain or push-pull output mode on I/O ports of output type O3 or O4. Refer to the
pin description tables in the datasheets for the specific output type information for each pin.

Routing interface (RI) and system configuration
controller (SYSCFG)
This section applies to low-density STM8L05xx/STM8L15xx devices, medium-density
STM8L05xx/STM8L15xx devices, medium+ density STM8L05xx/STM8L15xx devices and
high-density STM8L05xx/STM8L15xx/STM8L16xx devices, unless otherwise specified.

11.1

RI and SYSCFG introduction
The system configuration controller offers remapping capabilities of some alternate
functions on different I/O ports and on TIM4 & ADC1 DMA channels. To use an alternate
function, the corresponding peripheral must be enabled in the peripheral registers. Alternate
function remapping does not affect the GPIO capabilities of the I/O ports (see Section 10:
General purpose I/O ports (GPIO) on page 117). Refer to Section 11.5: SYSCFG registers
for remapping capabilities on TIM4 & ADC1 DMA channels.
The routing interface provides high flexibility by allowing the software routing of I/Os to the
input captures of TIM1. It also controls the routing of internal analog signals to ADC1,
COMP1, COMP2, DAC and internal reference voltage VREFINT. It also provides a set of
registers for efficiently managing up to 20 capacitive sensing channels (low-density devices)
and up to 16 capacitive sensing channels (medium, medium+ and high-density devices).

RI functional description
The RI registers can be accessed only when the comparator clock is enabled by setting the

11.2.2

I/O groups
On low-density devices, 28 general purpose I/Os are grouped into 4 groups of three I/Os
each and into groups of 4 I/Os each. On medium, medium+ and high-density devices, 24

DocID15226 Rev 14

129/597
157

Routing interface (RI) and system configuration controller (SYSCFG)

RM0031

general purpose I/Os are grouped into 4 groups of three I/Os each. Table 26 shows the I/O
groups and the control registers used to route them to the analog blocks.
•

Two blocks of switches control the routing of signals to the analog blocks.
–

I/O switches controlled by the RI_IOSRx registers

–

Analog switches controlled by the RI_ASCRx registers

•

An additional set of switches controls the routing to the TIM1 timer inputs (not shown in
block diagram)

•

A complementary set of registers controls the configuration of the I/Os and are
designed to manage up to 20 capacitive sensing channels on low-density devices and
up to 16 capacitive sensing channels on medium, medium+ and high-density devices
(not shown in the block diagram).

When the I/Os are switched to analog mode (I/O switches CHxE are set or ADC used) , the
Schmitt trigger is disabled by default. At that time, the bit in the Px_IDR register associated
with the I/O is always read as 0 whatever the level on the pin. The Schmitt trigger can be
enabled by setting the STE bit in the COMP_CSR1 register but it acts as a simple
comparator in this configuration mode. In that case, it is possible to read the I/O state
through the Px_IDR register while the hysteresis is kept disabled to reduce the power
consumption of the device. The state of an I/O switched to analog mode can be read
through the RI_IOIRx registers anyway whatever the STE bit value.
•

When I/Os are used as ADC inputs: the I/O switch and analog switches are
controlled directly by the ADC. The corresponding CHxE and ASx bits in the RI
registers are not used and must be kept cleared (switches left open).

•

When I/Os are used as inputs/outputs for analog blocks other than the ADC: the
I/O switch and analog switch have to be controlled by the RI_IOSRx and RI_ASCRx
registers. The corresponding CHxE and ASx bits in the RI registers must be set by
software to close the switches and cleared to open the switches.

TIM2 & TIM3 routing

Note:

Only available on low-density devices.
To reduce the CPU load required for the management of the 20 capacitive sensing
channels, low-density devices feature a hardware mode for handling the charger transfer
acquisition sequence. This is done by using timer TIM2 to control the state of the I/Os in the
I/O groups. Timer TIM3 is used to count the number of charge transfer cycles generated
before the voltage across CS reaches VIH.

DAC routing
DAC is not available on low-density STM8L05xxx/STM8L15xxx.
In medium-density devices, for 28 and 32-pin devices, the DAC_OUT1 can be routed to any
I/O of group 5 by setting the corresponding I/O switch bit (CH13E in the RI_IOSR1 register,
CH14E in the RI_IOSR2 register or CH15E in the RI_IOSR3 register).
In medium+ and high-density devices, for 48-pin devices, the DAC_OUT2 can be routed to
any I/O of group 5 by setting the corresponding I/O switch bit (CH13E in the RI_IOSR1
register, CH14E in the RI_IOSR2 register or CH15E in the RI_IOSR3 register).

Note:

In this case group 5 cannot be used for ADC1.

Interrupt controller (ITC)
This section applies to low-density STM8L05xx/STM8L15xx devices, medium-density
STM8L05xx/STM8L15xx devices, medium+ density devices and high-density
STM8L05xx/STM8L15xx/STM8L16xx devices, unless otherwise specified.

12.1

ITC introduction
•

Management of hardware interrupts
–

External interrupt capability on all I/O pins with dedicated interrupt vector per port
and dedicated flag per pin

–

Peripheral interrupt capability

•

Management of software interrupt (TRAP)

•

Nested or concurrent interrupt management with flexible interrupt priority and level
management:

•

–

Up to 4 software programmable nesting levels

–

Up to 32 interrupt vectors fixed by hardware

–

2 non maskable events: RESET, TRAP

Up to 40 external interrupt sources on 11 vectors

This interrupt management is based on:

12.2

•

Bit I1 and I0 of the CPU Condition Code register (CCR)

•

Software priority registers (ITC_SPRx)

•

Reset vector located at 0x00 8000 at the beginning of program memory. The Reset
initialization routine is programmed in ROM by STMicroelectronics.

•

Fixed interrupt vector addresses located at the high addresses of the memory map
(0x00 8004 to 0x00 807C) sorted by hardware priority order.

Interrupt masking and processing flow
The interrupt masking is managed by bits I1 and I0 of the CCR register and by the
ITC_SPRx registers which set the software priority level of each interrupt vector (see
Table 31). The processing flow is shown in Figure 29.
When an interrupt request has to be serviced:
1.

Normal processing is suspended at the end of the current instruction execution.

2.

The PC, X,Y, A and CCR registers are saved onto the stack.

3.

Bits I1 and I0 of CCR register are set according to the values in the ITC_SPRx registers
corresponding to the serviced interrupt vector.

4.

The PC is then loaded with the interrupt vector of the interrupt to service and the first
instruction of the interrupt service routine is fetched .

The interrupt service routine should end with the IRET instruction which causes the content
of the saved registers to be recovered from the stack. As a consequence of the IRET
instruction, bits I1 and I0 are restored from the stack and the program execution resumes.

Caution:

If the interrupt mask bits I0 and I1 are set within an interrupt service routine (ISR) with the
instruction SIM, removal of the interrupt mask with RIM causes the software priority to be
set to level 0.
To restore the correct priority when disabling and enabling interrupts inside an ISR, follow
the procedures presented in Table 31 for disabling and enabling the interrupts.

12.2.1

Servicing pending interrupts
Several interrupts can be pending at the same time. The interrupt to be taken into account is
determined by the following two-step process:
1.

The highest software priority interrupt is serviced.

2.

If several interrupts have the same software priority then the interrupt with the highest
hardware priority is serviced first.

When an interrupt request is not serviced immediately, it is latched and then processed
when its software priority combined with the hardware priority becomes the highest one.
Note:

1

The hardware priority is exclusive while the software one is not. This allows the previous
process to succeed with only one interrupt.

2

RESET and TRAP are considered as having the highest software priority in the decision
process.
See Figure 30 for a description of pending interrupt servicing process.

12.2.2

Interrupt sources
Two interrupt source types are managed by the STM8 interrupt controller:
•

Non-maskable interrupts: RESET and TRAP

•

Maskable interrupts: external interrupts or interrupts issued by internal peripherals

Non-maskable interrupt sources
Non-maskable interrupt sources are processed regardless of the state of bits I1 and I0 of the
CCR register (see Figure 29). PC, X, Y, A and CCR registers are stacked only when a TRAP
interrupt occurs. The corresponding vector is then loaded in the PC register and bits I1 and
I0 of the CCR register are set to disable interrupts (level 3).
•

TRAP (non-maskable software interrupt)
This software interrupt source is serviced when the TRAP instruction is executed. It is
serviced according to the flowchart shown in Figure 29.
A TRAP interrupt does not allow the processor to exit from Halt mode.

•

RESET
The RESET interrupt source has the highest STM8 software and hardware priorities.
This means that all the interrupts are disabled at the beginning of the reset routine.
They must be re-enabled by the RIM instruction (see Table 34: Dedicated interrupt
instruction set).
A RESET interrupt allows the processor to exit from Halt mode.

See RESET chapter for more details on RESET interrupt management.

160/597

DocID15226 Rev 14

RM0031

Interrupt controller (ITC)

Maskable interrupt sources
Maskable interrupt vector sources are serviced if the corresponding interrupt is enabled and
if its own interrupt software priority in ITC_SPRx registers is higher than the one currently
being serviced (I1 and I0 in CCR register). If one of these two conditions is not met, the
interrupt is latched and remains pending.
•

External interrupts
External interrupts can be used to wake up the MCU from Halt mode. The device
sensitivity to external interrupts can be selected by software through the External
Interrupt Control registers (EXTI_CRx).
When several input pins connected to the same interrupt line are selected
simultaneously, they are logically ORed.
When external level-triggered interrupts are latched, if the given level is still present at
the end of the interrupt routine, the interrupt remains activated except if it has been
inactivated in the routine.

•

Peripheral interrupts
A few peripheral interrupts cause the MCU to wake up from Halt mode. See the
interrupt vector table in the datasheet.
A peripheral interrupt occurs when a specific flag is set in the peripheral status register
and the corresponding enable bit is set in the peripheral control register.
The standard sequence for clearing a peripheral interrupt performs an access to the
status register followed by a read or write to an associated register. The clearing
sequence resets the internal latch. A pending interrupt (that is an interrupt waiting to be
serviced) is therefore lost when the clear sequence is executed.

12.3

Interrupts and low power modes
All interrupts allow the processor to exit from Wait mode.
Only a Reset or an event allows the processor to exit from Low power wait mode. This mode
is entered by executing a WFE instruction in Low power run mode. The wakeup by an event
makes the system go back to Low power run mode (refer to for more details).
Only external and other specific interrupts allow the processor to exit from Halt and Activehalt mode (see wakeup from halt and wakeup from Active-halt in the interrupt vector table in
the datasheet).
When several pending interrupts are present while waking up from Halt mode, the first
interrupt serviced can only be an interrupt with exit-from-Halt mode capability. It is selected
through the decision process shown in Figure 30. If the highest priority pending interrupt
cannot wake up the device from Halt mode, it will be serviced next.
If any internal or external interrupt (from a timer for example) occurs while the HALT
instruction is executing, the HALT instruction is completed but the interrupt invokes the
wakeup process immediately after the HALT instruction has finished executing. In this case
the MCU is actually waking up from Halt mode to Run mode, with the corresponding delay
of tWUH as specified in the datasheet.
Before executing the HALT instruction, the user program must clear any pending peripheral
interrupts (clear interrupt pending bit in the corresponding peripheral configuration
registers). Otherwise, the HALT instruction is not executed and program execution
continues.

12.4

RM0031

Activation level/low power mode control
The MCU activation level is configured by programming the AL bit in the CFG_GCR register
(see global configuration register (CFG_GCR)).
This bit is used to control the low power modes of the MCU. In very low power applications,
the MCU spends most of the time in WFI/Halt mode and is woken up (through interrupts) at
specific moments in order to execute a specific task. Some of these recurring tasks are
short enough to be treated directly in an ISR (interrupt service routine), rather than going
back to the main program. To cover this case, you can set the AL bit before entering Low
power mode (by executing WFI/HALT instruction). Consequently, the interrupt routine
causes the device to return to low power mode., then the interrupt routine returns directly to
Low power mode. The run time/ISR execution is reduced due to the fact that the register
context is saved only on the first interrupt.
As a consequence, all the operations can be executed in ISR in very simple applications. In
more complex ones, an interrupt routine may relaunch the main program by simply resetting
the AL bit.
For example, an application may need to be woken up by the auto-wakeup unit (AWU)
every 50 ms in order to check the status of some pins/sensors/push-buttons. Most of the
time, as these pins are not active, the MCU can return to Low power mode without running
the main program. If one of these pins is active, the ISR decides to launch the main program
by resetting the AL bit.

12.5

Concurrent and nested interrupt management
STM8 devices feature two interrupt management modes:

Concurrent mode

•

Nested mode

12.5.1

Interrupt controller (ITC)

Concurrent interrupt management mode
In this mode, all interrupts are interrupt priority level 3 so that none of them can be
interrupted, except by a RESET, or TRAP.
The hardware priority is given in the following order from the lowest to the highest priority,
that is: MAIN, IT4, IT3, IT2, IT1, IT0, TRAP (same priority), and RESET.
Figure 31 shows an example of concurrent interrupt management mode.

MSv47717V2

Nested interrupt management mode
In this mode, interrupts are allowed during interrupt routines. This mode is activated as soon
as an interrupt priority level lower than level 3 is set.
The hardware priority is given in the following order from the lowest to the highest priority,
that is: MAIN, IT4, IT3, IT2, IT1, IT0, and TRAP.
The software priority is configured for each interrupt vector by setting the corresponding
I1_x and I0_x bits of the ITC_SPRx register. I1_x and I0_x bits have the same meaning as
I1 and I0 bits of the CCR register (see Table 32).
Level 0 can not be programmed (I1_x=1, I0_x=0). In this case, the previously stored value is
kept. For example: if previous value is 0xCF, and programmed value equals 64h, the result
is 44h.
The RESET and TRAP vectors have no software priorities. When one is serviced, bits I1
and I0 of the CCR register are both set.

Caution:

If bits I1_x and I0_x are modified while the interrupt x is executed, the device operates as
follows: if the interrupt x is still pending (new interrupt or flag not cleared) and the new
software priority is higher than the previous one, then the interrupt x is re-entered.
Otherwise, the software priority remains unchanged till the next interrupt request (after the
IRET of the interrupt x).
During the execution of an interrupt routine, the HALT, POPCC, RIM, SIM and WFI
instructions change the current software priority till the next IRET instruction or one of the
previously mentioned instructions is issued. See Section 12.7 for the list of dedicated
interrupt instructions.

External interrupts
Eleven interrupt vectors are dedicated to external Interrupt events:

Note:

•

EXTIB/G - 8 lines on Port B or G: PB[7:0] or PG[7:0]EXTID/H - 8 lines on Port D or H:
PD[7:0] or PH[7:0]

•

EXTIE/F - 8 lines on Port E or F: PE[7:0] or PF[7:0]

•

EXTI0 - 6 lines on Port A/B/C/D/E/F, bit 0: Px[0]

•

EXTI1 - 5 lines on Port A/B/C/D/E, bit 1: Px[1]

•

EXTI2 - 5 lines on Port A/B/C/D/E, bit 2: Px[2]

•

EXTI3 - 5 lines on Port A/B/C/D/E, bit 3: Px[3]

•

EXTI4 - 5 lines on Port A/B/C/D/E, bit 4: Px[4]

•

EXTI5 - 5 lines on Port A/B/C/D/E, bit 5: Px[5]

•

EXTI6 - 5 lines on Port A/B/C/D/E, bit 6: Px[6]

•

EXTI7 - 5 lines on Port A/B/C/D/E, bit 7: Px[7]

Ports G, H and I are available on medium+ and high-density devices only.
To generate an interrupt, the corresponding GPIO port must be configured in input mode
with interrupts enabled. Refer to the register description in the GPIO chapter for details.
When an external interrupt occurs, the corresponding bit is set in the EXTI_SRx status
register. This indicates a pending interrupt. Clearing this bit, writing a 1 in it, clears the
corresponding pending external interrupt.
The interrupt sensitivity must be configured in the external interrupt control register 1
(EXTI_CR1), external interrupt control register 2 (EXTI_CR2), and external interrupt control
register 3 (EXTI_CR3) (see Section 12.9.5, Section 12.9.7 and Section 12.9.8).

Bits 5, 3(1) I[1:0]: Software interrupt priority bits(2)
These two bits indicate the software priority of the current interrupt request. When an interrupt
request occurs, the software priority of the corresponding vector is loaded automatically from the
software priority registers (ITC_SPRx).
The I[1:0] bits can be also set/cleared by software using the RIM, SIM, HALT, WFI, IRET or
PUSH/POP instructions (see Figure 32: Nested interrupt management).

Bits 7:0 VECTxSPR[1:0]: Vector x software priority bits
These eight read/write registers (ITC_SPR1 to ITC_SPR8) are written by software to define the
software priority of each interrupt vector.
The list of vectors is given in Table 32: Vector address map versus software priority bits.
Refer to Section 12.9.1: CPU condition code register interrupt bits (CCR) for the values to be

Direct memory access controller (DMA)
This section applies to low-density STM8L05xx/STM8L15xx devices, medium-density
STM8L05xx/STM8L15xx devices, medium+ density STM8L05xx/STM8L15xx devices and
high-density STM8L05xx/STM8L15xx/STM8L16xx devices, unless otherwise specified.

13.1

DMA introduction
Direct memory access (DMA) is used to provide high-speed data transfer between
peripherals and memory as well as between memory to memory. Data can be quickly
moved by DMA without any CPU actions. This keeps CPU resources free for other
operations.
The DMA controller has 4 channels. Each channel is dedicated to managing memory
access requests from one or more peripherals. It has an arbiter for handling the priority
between DMA requests.

Glossary
The term DMA refers to direct memory access.
A DMA transaction consists of a complete DMA read/write operation on a set of softwareprogrammable data blocks. A DMA transaction can be divided into single DMA transfers.
A DMA transfer consists of a single read/write operation on a data block. It cannot be
interrupted.
A data block is either an 8-bit or a 16-bit data depending on the selected transfer size.

DMA functional description
The DMA controller performs direct memory transfer by sharing the address and data bus
with the STM8™ core. The DMA request may stop the CPU access to the bus for some bus
cycles, when the CPU and DMA are targeting the same destination (memory or peripheral).
The arbitration is performed inside the STM8™ core and is managed in a different way
depending on the chosen bus (peripheral bus, RAM bus or program bus). Refer to the
STM8 core description for further information.
Besides, the DMA controller can signal to the STM8 core that the current access must have
priority over the CPU. There are two ways to do this:

13.3.1

•

the application can specify the timeout duration (number of wait cycles starting from the
last request) by configuring the TO[5:0] bits in the DMA_GCSR register. Then the DMA
waits until this timeout has elapsed before requesting from the core a high priority
access to the bus.

•

the application can also program a channel so that it always takes priority over the
CPU.

DMA transactions
After an event, the peripheral sends a request signal to the DMA controller. The DMA
controller serves the request depending on channel priorities. As soon as the DMA
controller accesses the peripheral, an Acknowledge (one cycle pulse) is sent to the

180/597

DocID15226 Rev 14

RM0031

Direct memory access controller (DMA)
peripheral by the DMA controller. If the peripheral has no other pending request, it releases
its request signal as soon as it gets the Acknowledge from the DMA controller.

13.3.2

DMA arbiter
The arbiter manages the channel requests based on their priority and it launches the
peripheral/memory access sequences.
The priorities are managed in two stages:
•

•

Note:

Software: each channel priority can be configured in the DMA_CxSPR register. There
are four levels:
–

Very high priority

–

High priority

–

Medium priority

–

Low priority

Hardware: if 2 requests have the same software priority level, the channel with the
lowest number gets priority versus the channel with the highest number. For example,
channel 1 gets priority over channel 3.

Each DMA request is stored into a queue and is served when all requests with higher
priority inside the sequence are completed.
A channel with a very high priority takes also priority over the CPU.

13.3.3

DMA channels
Four channels are available: three regular channels (channel 0, channel 1 and channel 2)
and one memory channel (channel 3).
•

The regular channels handle DMA transfers between a peripheral register located at a
fixed address and a memory area addressed by an auto-increment/decrement pointer.

•

The memory channel is a regular channel that can also handle data transfer between
two memory areas managed by two memory pointers.

When the channel is configured for a memory transfer, DMA requests are ignored and the
transfer is triggered through software: the transaction from memory area 0 to memory area
1 starts as soon as the channel is enabled and stops once the total number of bytes has
been transferred.
The amount of data to be transferred (up to 255) is programmable depending on the value in
the DMA_CxNDTR register. The DMA_CxNDTR register, which contains the amount of data
items to be transferred, is decremented after each transfer.

Programmable data size
Transfer data size (8-bit or 16-bit) is user programmable through the TSIZE bit in the
DMA_CxSPR register.
Note:

When operating in 16-bit mode, the system handles big-endian addressing in both
increment or decrement modes. The destination and source pointers must contain the
address of the MSB (even address).

When configured for 16-bit data transfer (TSIZE = 1), a transfer consists of four consecutive
8-bit read and write operations:
•

Read the MSB from the source at even address

•

Read the LSB from the source at odd address

•

Write the MSB to the destination at even address

•

Write the LSB to the destination at odd address

To ensure data coherence, the two read operations as well as the two write operations are
not divisible.
Note:

This does not prevent the software from synchronizing the CPU and the DMA 16-bit
accesses: the software must make sure the DMA will not read the 16-bit data while the CPU
has only written half of the 16-bit data to the source area. In the same way, the software
must make sure the DMA will not write the 16-bit data while the CPU has already started to
read half of the 16-bit data.
The initial value address alignment is handled by software.

Pointer incrementation
During a memory-to-peripheral or a peripheral-to-memory transaction, the memory pointer
is automatically post-incremented or post-decremented after each transaction depending on
the MINCDEC bit in the DMA_CxCR register while the peripheral pointer is always fixed.
If incremented mode is enabled, the address of the next transfer is the address of the
previous one incremented by 1. The first transfer address is the address programmed in the
DMA_CxPARH/L and DMA_CxM0ARH/L registers in medium-density devices and in the
DMA_CxPARH/L, DMA_CxM0ARH/L and DMA_C3M0EAR (for channel 3) registers in
medium+ and high-density devices.
If the transfer data size is programmed to 16-bit mode (TSIZE = 1), the address is
incremented/decremented by 1 after each byte transfer (by 2 after the two byte transfers).
If the channel is configured in non-circular mode, no DMA request is served after the end of
the transfer (that is, once the number of data to be transferred reaches zero).

Channel configuration procedure
The following sequence should be followed to configure a DMA channel x (where x is the
channel number):

182/597

DocID15226 Rev 14

RM0031

Direct memory access controller (DMA)
1.

Set the peripheral register address in the DMA_CxPARL/H registers. The data is then
moved from (or to) this address to (or from) the memory after the peripheral event.

2.

Set the memory address in the DMA_CxPARH/L and DMA_CxM0ARH/L registers in
medium-density devices and in the DMA_CxPARH/L, DMA_CxM0ARH/L and
DMA_C3M0EAR (for channel 3) registers in medium+ and high-density devices. The
data is then written to or read from this memory after the peripheral event.

3.

Configure the total number of data to be transferred in the DMA_CxNDTR register.
After each peripheral event, this value is then decremented.

4.

Configure the channel priority using the PL[1:0] bits in the DMA_CxSPR register.

5.

Configure data transfer direction, circular mode, memory incremented mode, transfer
data size, and interrupt after half and/or full transfer in the DMA_CxCR register.

6.

Activate the channel by setting the EN bit (Channel enable bit) in the DMA_CxCR
register.

7.

Once all channels are correctly configured (steps 1 to 6), it is possible to enable the
DMA through the GEN bit (Global enable bit) in the DMA_GCSR register.

As soon as the channels are enabled, they can serve any DMA request from the peripherals
connected with them.
Once half of the bytes are transferred, the HTIF bit (Half-transfer interrupt flag) is set and an
interrupt is generated if the HTIE bit (Half-transfer interrupt enable) is set. At the end of the
transfer, the TCIF bit (Transfer complete interrupt flag) is set and an interrupt is generated if
the TCIE bit (Transfer complete interrupt enable) is set.

Circular mode (auto-reload mode)
Circular mode is available to handle circular buffers and continuous data flows (e.g. ADC
scan mode). This feature can be enabled using the CIRC bit (circular buffer mode bit) in the
DMA_CxCR register.
When circular mode is activated, the number of data to be transferred is automatically
reloaded with the initial value programmed during the channel configuration phase, and the
DMA requests continue to be served.

Memory-to-memory mode
This mode is available only for channel 3 which is a memory channel.
Channel 3 can also handle data transfers between two memories, without being triggered
by a request from a peripheral. This mode is called Memory to Memory mode.
If the MEM bit in the DMA_C3CR register is set, then the channel initiates transfers as soon
as it is enabled by software by setting the EN bit (Channel enable bit) in the DMA_C3CR.
Peripheral requests are ignored.
The transfer stops once the DMA_C3NDTR register reaches zero.
Memory-to-memory mode must not be used at the same time as Circular mode.
When the channel is configured in memory-to-memory mode:
•

the Auto-reload mode is disabled and the CIRC bit in the DMA_C3CR register is “don’t
care”.

•

the DIR bit (Data transfer direction bit) in the DMA_C3CR register is “don’t care”: the
source is always the memory pointer address 0 (DMA_CxPARH/L and
DMA_CxM0ARH/L registers in medium-density devices and DMA_CxPARH/L,

destination is always the memory pointer address 1 (DMA_C3PARL_C3M1ARL and
DMA_C3PARH_C3M1ARH registers).
•

the source pointer address 0 is always incremented while the destination pointer
address 1 is incremented or decremented depending on the MINCDEC bit in the
DMA_C3CR register.

Source and destination addresses
Channels 0, 1 and 2 can only address peripherals with addresses comprised between
0x5200 and 0x53FF, or within RAM memory (addresses comprised between 0x0000 and
0x07FF for medium-density devices and between 0x0000 and 0xFFFF for medium+ and

DMA transaction suspension
A DMA transaction can be suspended at any time (even during the transfer) by disabling the
EN bit (Channel enable bit) in the DMA_CxCR register or by disabling each channel using
the GEN bit (Global Enable bit) in the DMA_GCSR register.
If the channel is disabled when a DMA data transfer is ongoing, the channel is effectively
disabled only once the current data transfer is completed.
Re-enabling the DMA channel resumes the DMA transaction.
When a DMA transaction is suspended, the software must modify the DMA registers.
Otherwise, the DMA transaction may not resume properly. If the number of data to transfer
is modified, re-enabling the DMA causes a new transaction to be started instead of the
current transaction to be resumed.

DMA hardware request description
AES DMA requests
The AES accelerator provides an interface to connect to the DMA controller. The DMA must
be configured to transfer bytes. The AES can be associated with two distinct DMA request
channels:
•

A DMA request channel for the inputs : When the DMAEN bit is set in the AES_CR
register, the AES initiates a DMA request (AES_IN) during the input phase each time it
requires a byte to be written into the AES_DINR register. The DMA channel must be
configured in memory-to-peripheral mode (bit DTD=1 in the corresponding
DMA_CxCR register).

•

A DMA request channel for the outputs : When the DMAEN bit is enabled, the AES
initiates a DMA request (AES_OUT) during the output phase each time it requires a
byte to be written into the AES_DOUTR register. The DMA channel must be configured
in peripheral-to-memory mode (bit DTD=0 in the corresponding DMA_CxCR register).

SPIx DMA requests
The Transmission DMA request and the Reception DMA request can be independently
enabled or disabled by programming the control bits inside the SPI.

USARTx DMA requests
The Transmission DMA request and the Reception DMA request can be independently
enabled or disabled by programming the control bits inside the USART.
Table 38. SPIx/USARTx DMA requests

Description

USARTx_RX
SPIx_RX

Reception requests: DMA transfer request when one character has been
received.

USARTx_TX
SPIx_TX

Transmission requests: DMA transfer request when the transmit buffer is empty
(Data to be transmitted has been loaded into the shift register)

I2C1 DMA requests
DMA requests are generated only for data transfers by the I2C1 data register (I2C1_DR)
•

in transmission when it becomes empty

•

in reception when it is full.

When the number of data transfers that have been programmed in the DMA controller is
reached, the DMA controller sends an EOT signal (End of transfer) to the I2C interface and
generates a DMA interrupt.

Description

I2C1_TX

Master transmitter: During an EOT interrupt from the DMA controller, DMA
requests must be disabled. The DMA controller has then to wait until a BTF (byte
transfer finished) event before programming the STOP condition.

I2C1_RX

Master receiver: The DMA controller sends a hardware signal EOT_1
corresponding to the (number of bytes-1). If LAST=1 in ITDMA register, I2C
automatically sends a NACK after the next byte following EOT_1. DMA controller
End of transfer interrupt allows to program the STOP condition.

ADC1 DMA requests
DMA requests are asserted when the conversion of a selected channel is completed.

TIMx DMA requests
TIMx DMA requests can be independently enabled/disabled by programming the DMA
control bit inside the Timer.

DAC DMA requests
DAC DMA requests are generated when the external trigger occurs, either using a software
trigger (SWTRIG bit in the DAC_SWTRIGR register) or a hardware trigger (TIM4_TRGO in
medium-density devices and TIM4_TRGO / TIM5_TRGO / external trigger input PE4 in
medium+ and high-density devices). The request indicates that the CHxDHR registers have
been transferred to the CHxDOR registers.

To ensure that a transaction is really completed when using a peripheral to trigger a DMA
request, the software must choose carefully between the DMA internal interrupt flag and the
peripheral interrupt.
The TCIF flag rises when the whole programmed transaction is completed by the DMA, but
this does not necessarily mean that the peripheral ended the data transmission.
Note:

The reset operation of the HTIF and TCIF bits has priority over the set operation.

13.6

DMA registers
The DMA controller has two sets of registers:
•

a set of global registers used to globally enable/disable the DMA and to identify quickly
the interrupt source

•

a set of control, status and pointer registers dedicated for each channel.

In the following description, the name of the registers dedicated to each channel starts with
DMA_Cx where x represents the channel number (numbered from 0 to 3).

These bits define the timeout duration (number of cycles to wait starting from the last request). Then
the DMA waits until this timeout has elapsed before asking to the core a high priority access to the

When programmed to 0x00, there is no timeout and once a request is served, the DMA immediately
asks to the CPU a high priority access to the bus.

flags of the corresponding channel is set. The softwFare resets it when clearing the interrupt
flag of the DMA_CxSPR register of the channel which has generated the interrupt.

14.3.2

Analog-to-digital converter (ADC)

Number of analog channels
Up to 30 analog input channels are available in the STM8L05xx/STM8L15xx devices:
•

Up to 27 analog input channels in the medium-density devices.

•

Up to 28 analog input channels in the low-density devices.

•

Up to 30 analog input channels in the medium+ and high-density devices.

They can be classified into three groups:

14.3.3

•

Slow channels: channels 0 to 23 with a sampling time selected through the SMP1 bits
in the ADC_CR2 register

•

Fast channels: channel 24 (medium-density devices) or channels 24 to 27 (medium+
and high-density devices) with a sampling time selected through the SMP2 bits in the
ADC_CR3 register

•

Fast internal channels: channels VREFINT and TS with a sampling time selected
through the SMP2 bits in the ADC_CR3 register.

ADC on-off control
The ADC can be powered-on by setting the ADON bit in the ADC_CR1 register. When the
ADON bit is set, it wakes up the ADC from Power-down mode. Conversion should be
started only when the ADC power-up time (tWKUP) has elapsed and before the ADC
maximum idle delay (tIDLE) has elapsed. The software can stop conversion and put the ADC
in Power-down mode by resetting the ADON bit.

14.3.4

Single conversion mode
In this mode, only one input channel must be selected in the ADC_SQRx registers ( if more
channels are selected, the highest selected channel is measured). In addition, the DMAOFF
bit must be set in the ADC_SQR1 register (to disable DMA transfer). The input channel is
then converted and the ADC conversion stops (one simple conversion). The converted
value is stored into the ADC_DR data register. An interrupt (EOC) can be generated after
the end of conversion. The time between 2 conversions must be lower than the ADC
maximum idle delay (tIDLE). In case the time between 2 conversions is greater than tIDLE,
the ADC must be powered-off between the 2 conversions (by clearing the ADON bit).
Another possiblity is to discard the first conversion (occuring in a time greater than tidle after
previous one) and keep the next one

Note:

If the DMAOFF bit in the ADC_SQR1 register is reset (and if DMA is properly programmed)
the conversion is then performed in single scan mode.
In the single conversion mode, the ADC does one conversion. The conversion can be
started in two different ways:
•

Note:

by software: conversion is performed by setting the START bit in the ADC_CR1
register. The START bit is then reset by hardware.

The channel selection is performed using the ADC_SQRx registers.
Before starting a conversion, the software should wait for the stabilization time (tWKUP).
•

by hardware: three external triggers can start a conversion (ADC_TRIGR1,
ADC_TRIGR2 or ADC_TRIGR3). The selection of one of these three triggers is made
through the EXTSEL[1:0] bits in the ADC_CR2 register. The conversion can be
triggered either on the rising edge, on the falling edge or on both edges of the signal,
depending on the TRIG_EDGE[1:0] bits in the ADC_CR2 register.

DocID15226 Rev 14

205/597
224

Analog-to-digital converter (ADC)
Note:

RM0031

Any start event occurring during the conversion will be ignored.
Once the conversion is complete:
•

the EOC flag is set

•

and an interrupt is produced if the EOCIE bit is set in the ADC_CR1 register.

The EOC flag can be reset by software or by reading the LSB of the converted data.
Further single conversions can be initiated by simply setting the START bit or by rising an
external trigger.
Note:

1

The channel must not be changed during a conversion.

2

The user must avoid generating triggers before the end of an ongoing conversion.

3

The trigger edge configuration must be set before enabling the triggers

4

Even if no channel is programmed, a conversion can be started and the EOC flag will be
set.

ADC external triggers
Three external trigger sources can be selected:
•

206/597

ADC trigger 1.
The trigger can be performed
–

either from PA6 (if the ADC_TRIG bit in the SYSCFG_RMPCR2 register is reset;
refer to Alternate function remapping section in the datasheet)

–

or directly from PD0 (if ADC_TRIG bit in the SYSCFG_RMPCR2 register is set;
refer to Alternate function remapping section in the datasheet)

•

ADC trigger 2.
The trigger is performed directly from Timer 1 trigger output (TIM1_TRGO)

•

ADC trigger 3.
The trigger is performed directly from Timer 2 trigger output (TIM2_TRGO)

14.3.5

Continuous conversion mode
In this mode , the ADC does not stop after conversion but continues to the next channel in
the selected channel sequence. Conversions continue until the CONT bit and the ADON
bits are set and the converted values are transferred through the DMA to the RAM or
EEPROM memory buffer.
As the EOC interrupt is generated only after the end of the conversion of the selected
channel sequence, the result of each channel conversion cannot be read from the ADC_DR
register.
To save the conversion of each channel in a memory (RAM or EEPROM), the DMA must be
used in peripheral to memory mode. If the CONT bit is reset during a conversion, the
current selected channel sequence conversions end with the last selected channel) and
then the ADC stops.

Note:

The CONT bit must not be set again during a conversion.

14.3.6

ADC clock
The ADC clock provided by the clock controller can be either the ADC system clock (CK) or
the ADC system clock divided by 2. The selection of the frequency feeding the clock
(fADC_CLK= CK or fADC_CLK= CK/2) is done through the PRESC bit in the ADC_CR2 register.

14.3.7

Analog watchdog
The analog watchdog status bit (AWD) in the ADC_SR register is set when the analog
voltage converted by the ADC is above or below a reference voltage threshold defined by

DocID15226 Rev 14

207/597
224

Analog-to-digital converter (ADC)

RM0031

the higher/lower thresholds programmed into the ADC_HTRH/L and ADC_LTRH/L
registers.
In scan mode, the channel where the analog watchdog is enabled is the one selected
through the CHSEL[4:0] bits in the ADC_CR3 register.
Note:

The threshold values must be set/changed before starting the conversion.
In scan mode a watchdog flag rise occurring during a conversion does not stop the next
conversions of the sequence. This avoids having to start the ADC again every time an
analog watchdog is enabled.
The action related to the analog watchdog is not necessarily linked to the other tasks using
the other ADC channels.

14.3.8

Interrupts
An interrupt can be generated when an EOC event occurs (end of conversion in single
mode or end of last scan conversion in scan mode) when the analog watchdog status bit
(AWD) is set in the ADC_SR register or, in scan mode, when a DMA request is not serviced
and a new conversion is completed.
Individual interrupt lines are available as well as a common interrupt line. The following table
summarizes the possible flag/interrupt configuration.

Channel selection (Scan mode)
This mode works automatically in continuous mode. It can also be used in single mode by
resetting the DMAOFF bit in the ADC_SQR1 register.
In scan mode, the selected channel sequence is taken into account (like in single mode)
and the selected channels are converted and transferred through DMA to memory (DMA
should be properly programmed).
If the single mode is selected, the ADC converts the selected channel sequence and it is
stopped after the last channel conversion. For the next selected channel sequence, a scan
conversion is necessary to restart the ADC. An interrupt (EOC) can be generated after the
end of the channel sequence conversion.
Three registers are available to select the channel or the sequence of channels used for
conversion in Scan mode: ADC_SQR1, ADC_SQR2 and ADC_SQR3.

208/597

DocID15226 Rev 14

RM0031
Note:

Analog-to-digital converter (ADC)
This feature must be used in conjunction with the DMA controller.
The channel selection must be performed after enabling the ADC peripheral (by setting the
ADON bit in the ADC_CR1 register).
A single conversion is initiated on each channel of a sequence. After the end of conversion,
the next channel of the sequence is automatically converted.
The channel selection is performed using the ADC_SQRx registers. A logic 1 in the position
‘n’ of these registers means that channel ‘n’ is in the list of channels to be converted.
For example, Figure 45 below shows how to select the sequence: 0; 2; 6; 8; 10; 14; 18.

1. Available on medium+ and high-density devices only.

If the CONT bit in the ADC_CR1 register is set (continuous mode selected), the conversion
does not stop at channel ‘n’ but restarts from the first channel of the sequence. After each
conversion, a DMA ADC request is sent and the DMA controller is used to transfer the
converted data to the RAM.
Note:

The ADC_SQRx registers must not be changed during a conversion.

14.3.10

Data integrity
An 8-bit shadow register is used to store the LSB data when the MSB is read. The LSB data
is read from the shadow register.
This guarantees the data consistency if a new data from the ADC is coming between the
MSB and LSB data read. Consequently, the software must read the MSB before reading the
LSB to be sure that both LSB and MSB are related to the same data.

Note:

An MSB read operation must always be followed by an LSB read operation.

14.3.11

DMA transfer
When a scan conversion is performed, a DMA ADC request is sent as soon as an end of
conversion is detected, to signal that a data is ready to be transferred.
If a new conversion is complete and the DMA has not completed the transfer of previous
conversion data, the overrun flag is risen and an interrupt is generated (if enabled).
The DMA transfer can be disabled by setting the DMAOFF bit in the ADC_SQR1 register.

Caution:

In scan mode, DMA transfer shall be disabled only when the ADC scan sequence is
finalized.

14.3.12

Configurable resolution
It is possible to reduce the conversion time by reducing the ADC resolution.
The RES[1:0] bits in the ADC_CR1 register are used to configure the resolution to 6, 8, 10
or 12 bits. The converted data is received from the ADC through its serial output.
DocID15226 Rev 14

209/597
224

Analog-to-digital converter (ADC)

RM0031

When the desired number of bits is achieved, a new conversion can start immediately.
Note:

The resolution bits can be changed only when no ADC conversion is ongoing.

14.3.13

Data alignment

Programmable sampling time
The ADC input voltage is sampled during a number of cycles which is selected using:
•

the SMP1[2:0] bits in the ADC_CR2 register for the first 24 channels

•

and the SMP2[2:0] bits in the ADC_CR3 register for channels 24 to 27 (or channel 24 in
medium-density devices), VREFINT and TS.

The following table shows the allowed values of sampling cycles.

A different sampling time can be selected for slow channels and for fast channels.
The sampling time must not be changed during a conversion.

14.3.15

Schmitt trigger disabling
The Schmitt trigger can be disabled to reduce the consumption on some pins used as
analog inputs.
As there are 2 internal channels, only 25 Schmitt triggers can be disabled on mediumdensity devices and 28 Schmitt triggers on medium+ and high-density devices.

Note:

In order to disable the Schmitt trigger on the ADC channels which are shared with the
comparators inputs, it is also required to disable the Schmitt trigger through the
COMP_CSR4 and/or COMP_CSR5 registers.
If the control of the I/O using the Routing interface is enabled (with the corresponding bit set
in the RI_IOCMRn register), the setting of the STE bit in the COMP_CSR1 register takes
priority over the setting of the ADC_TRIGRn registers.

14.3.16

Temperature sensor
The temperature sensor is not available on STM8L05xx value line devices.
The temperature sensor can be used to measure the internal temperature of the device. It is
internally connected to the ADC TS (temperature sensor) input channel that is used to
convert the sensor output voltage into a digital value.

Note:

When it is not used, this sensor can be put in power-down mode.
The TSON bit in the ADC_TRIGR1 register must be set to enable the internal ADC TS
channel connection. This connection must be enabled only if the temperature sensor
conversion is required.
The internal temperature sensor can also be used to detect temperature variations. The
output voltage of the temperature sensor is factory measured at high temperature and the
result of the ADC conversion is stored in a specific data address: the
TS_Factory_CONV_V90 byte represents the LSB of the V90 12-bit ADC conversion result
while the MSB have a fixed value: 0x3.
To reduce the temperature sensor error, the user can measure it at ambient temperature
(25°C) to redefine more accurately the average slope (avg_slope) and the offset.
DocID15226 Rev 14

211/597
224

Analog-to-digital converter (ADC)

RM0031

How to read the temperature
To read the temperature from the sensor, use the following procedure:
1.

Select the ADC1 TS (temperature sensor) input channel.

2.

Select a sample time of 10 µs.

3.

Set the TSON bit in the ADC_TRIGR1 register to wake up the temperature sensor from
power-down mode.

4.

Start the ADC conversion.

5.

Read the resulting VSENSE data in the ADC data register (ADC_DRx).

6.

Calculate the temperature using the following formulae:

V SENSE
T [ ° K ] = ---------------------------AvgSlope
V SENSE
T [ ° C ] = ---------------------------- – 273.15
AvgSlope

Where
Avg_Slope = estimation of the average slope of the “Temperature vs. VSENSE” curve (given
in V/°K).
Refer to the Electrical characteristics section for the Avg_Slope value.
Note:

When the sensor wakes up from power-down mode, a stabilization time is required before a
correct voltage can be output.
After power-on, the ADC also needs a stabilization time. To minimize this delay, the ADON
and TSON bits should be set at the same time.

14.3.17

Internal reference voltage conversion
The internal reference voltage is internally connected to the VREFINT channel. This analog
input channel is used to convert the internal reference voltage into a digital value.
The VREFINTON bit in the ADC_TRIGR1 register must be set to enable the internal
reference voltage. This reference voltage must be enabled only if its conversion is required.
The internal reference voltage is factory measured and the result of the ADC conversion is
stored in a specific data address: the VREFINT_Factory_CONV byte represents the LSB of
the VREFINT 12-bit ADC conversion result while the MSB have a fixed value: 0x6.

Digital-to-analog converter (DAC)

Digital-to-analog converter (DAC)
This section applies to medium-density STM8L15xx devices, medium+ density STM8L15xx
devices and high-density STM8L15xx/STM8L16xx devices, unless otherwise specified.
Digital-to-analog converter (DAC) is not available on STM8L05xxx/STM8L15xxx devices.

15.1

DAC introduction
The DAC module is a 12-bit voltage output digital-to-analog converter. The DAC can be
configured in 8-bit or 12-bit mode and can be used in conjunction with the DMA controller. In
12-bit mode, the data can be left or right aligned. The DAC has one output channel in the
medium-density devices and two output channels (each output channel with its own
converter) in medium+ and high-density devices. An input reference pin VREF+ is available
for a better resolution.
In dual DAC channel mode (available on medium+ and high-density devices only),
conversions can be performed etiher independently or simultaneously when both channels
are grouped together for synchronous update operations.

15.2

DAC main features
•

8-bit or 12-bit monotonic output

•

Left of right data alignment in 12-bit mode

•

Synchronized update capability

•

DMA capability

•

External triggers for conversion

•

Input voltage reference VREF+

•

Noise-wave generation (medium+ and high-density devices only)

•

Triangular-wave generation (medium+ and high-density devices only)

•

Dual DAC channel for independent or simultaneous conversions (medium+ and highdensity devices only)

The block diagram of a DAC channel is shown in Figure 47.

DAC functional description

15.3.1

DAC channel x enable
Digital-to-analog conversions can be performed only if the DAC channels have been
powered on by setting the EN bit in the DAC_CHxCR1 register. The DAC channels are then
enabled after a tWAKEUP startup time (refer to the product datasheet).

15.3.2

DAC output buffer enable
The DAC integrates one output buffer (on medium-density devices) or two output buffers (on
medium+ and high-density devices) that can be used to reduce the output impedance and
to drive external loads directly without having to add an external operational amplifier. It can
be enabled and disabled using the BOFF bit in the DAC_CHxCR1 register.

DAC conversion sequence
To start a conversion, the content of the DAC_xDHRx and DAC_DHR8 registers is moved to
the DAC_CHxDORH/L (data output) registers. Depending on the TEN bit in the

228/597

DocID15226 Rev 14

RM0031

Digital-to-analog converter (DAC)
DAC_CHxCR1 register, this transfer to DAC_CHxDORH/L can be performed in two different
manners:
•

•

15.3.6

TEN = 0. The transfer is performed when:
–

DAC_DHR8 is written for 8-bit conversion data in single mode

–

LSB of DAC_xDHRL is written for 12-bit conversion data in single mode,

TEN = 1. The transfer is performed when a trigger occurs. Two different triggers
(TIM4_TRGO or SWTRIG) in the medium-density devices or three triggers
(TIM4_TRGO, TIM5_TRGO or SWTRIG) can be selected through the TSEL bits in the
DAC_CHxCR1 register. Refer to Section 15.3.7: DAC trigger selection.

DAC output voltage
Digital inputs are converted to output voltages on a linear conversion between 0 and VREF+.
The analog output voltages on the DAC_OUTx pin are determined by the following
equation:
DAC_CHxDORH/L
DAC_OUT x = V REF × -----------------------------------------------------4096

15.3.7

DAC trigger selection
If the TEN bit is set in the DAC_CHxCR1 register, the following events can trigger a
conversion:
•

a software trigger (SWTRIG)

•

one external event (TIM4_TRGO: Timer 4 counter channel output) in medium-density
devices

•

three external events (TIM4_TRGO, TIM5_TRGO or external pin) in medium + and
high-density devices.

The TSEL[2:0] bits can be used to determine which out of the 2 or 4 possible sources will
trigger a conversion (SWTRIG or TIM4_TRGO in medium-density devices and SWTRIG,
TIM4_TRGO, TIM5_TRGO or external pin in medium+ and high-density devices):

Note:

•

If the software trigger (SWTRIG) is selected, the conversion starts once the SWTRIGx
bit is set in the DAC_SWTRIGR. This bit is reset by hardware once the DAC_DORx
registers are loaded with the DAC_xDHRx values.

•

If TIM4_TRGO, TIM5_TRGO or external pin is selected, the data transfer is
synchronized by a two-stage rising edge synchronizer

TSEL[2:0] bits cannot be changed when the EN bit is set in the DAC_CHxCR1 register.

DAC DMA request
Each DAC channel has a DMA capability. Two DMA channels are used to service DAC
channel DMA requests.
A DAC channel DMA request is generated when an external trigger occurs while the TEN
and DMAENx bits are set. The DAC channel DMA request remains set until a DAC channel
DMA Acknowledge comes from the DMA controller. The DAC channel DMA request
indicates that DACx_DHRx registers have been transferred to the DAC_CHxDORH/L
registers.
DAC channel DMA request is not kept in a request queue, so if a second external trigger
arrives before the DMA receives the acknowledge for the first external trigger, no new
request is serviced and no error is reported.

15.3.9

DAC DMA underrun interrupt
A DAC DMA underrun interrupt is generated in DMA mode when the next trigger event
occurs while the previous DMA request is still pending. This may happen, for instance, when
the DAC trigger frequency is higher than the DMA request servicing process.
For each DAC channel, DMA underrun interrupt can be enabled or disabled through the
DMAUDRIE bits in DAC_CHxCR2 register. If it occurs, it is signalled by the DMAUDR bits in
the DAC_SR register.

15.3.10

Noise generation
In order to generate a variable-amplitude pseudonoise, a linear feedback shift register
(LFSRx) register is available. The DAC noise generation is enabled by setting
DAC_CHxCR1/WAVEN to “01” and TENx to 1 in the DAC_CHxCR1 register. The preloaded
value in LFSR is 0xAAA, and the LFSRx output is updated at each conversion. This register
is updated three CPU clock cycles after each trigger event, following a specific calculation
algorithm (see Figure 49: DAC LFSR register calculation algorithm on page 231).
If LFSRx is 0x000, a ‘1’ is injected into it (antilock-up mechanism).
The LFSRx value, that may be masked partially or totally by means of the
DAC_CHxCR2/MAMP bits in the DAC_CHxCR2, is added to the DAC_DHRx (which can be
DAC_CHxRDHRH/L or DAC_CHxLDHRH/L or DAC_CHxDHR8 register depending on the
selected data format) contents without overflow and this value is then stored into the
DAC_CHxDORH/L register (see the following figure).

It is possible to reset LFSRx wave generation by resetting the DAC_CHxCR1/WAVEN[1:0]
bits.
Note:

The DAC trigger must be enabled for noise generation by setting the TENx bit in the
DAC_CHxCR1 register.

15.3.11

Triangle-wave generation
It’s possible to add a small-amplitude triangular waveform on a DC or slowly varying signal.
DAC triangle-wave generation is selected DAC_CH2CR1/TSELsetting
DAC_CHxCR1/WAVEN[1:0] to “10” and DAC_CHxCR1/TEN bits to 1 The amplitude is
configured through the DAC_CHxCR2/MAMP[3:0] bits in the DAC_CHxCR2 register. A 12bit internal triangle counter is incremented three CPU clock cycles after each trigger event.
The value of this counter is then added to the DAC_DHRx (which can be
DAC_CHxRDHRH/L or DAC_CHxLDHRH/L or DAC_CHxDHR8 register depending on the
selected data format) without overflow and the sum is stored into the DAC_CHxDORH/L.
The triangle counter is incremented while it is less than the maximum amplitude defined by
the DAC_CHxCR2/MAMP[3:0] bits (refer to DAC_CHxCR2).Once the configured amplitude
is reached, the counter is decremented down to 0, then incremented again and so on till
WAVENx[1:0]=”10” and TENx=’1’ (Figure 50.).
It is possible to reset triangle wavex generation by resetting DAC_CHxCR1/WAVEN.
DAC_CHxCR2/MAMP[3:0] bits cannot be changed when the DAC_CHxCR1/EN bit is set.

15.3.12

Dual DAC conversion
To efficiently use the bus bandwidth in applications that require the two DAC channels at the
same time, three dual registers are implemented. A unique register access is then required
to drive both DAC channels at the same time.
Nine possible conversion modes are possible using the two DAC channels and these dual
registers. All the conversion modes can nevertheless be obtained using separate DHRx
registers if needed.
All modes (independent and simultaneous modes) are described in the paragraphs below.

Independent trigger without wave generation
To configure the DAC in this conversion mode, the following sequence is required:
•

Set the two DAC channel trigger enable bits DAC_CH1CR1/TEN and
DAC_CH2CR1/TEN

•

Configure different trigger sources by setting different values in the
DAC_CH1CR1/TSEL[2:0] and DAC_CH2CR1/TSEL[2:0] bits

•

Load the dual DAC channel data into the desired DAC_DHRx register (which can be
DAC_CHxRDHRH/L or DAC_CHxLDHRH/L or DAC_CHxDHR8 register depending on
the selected data format).

When a DAC channel1 trigger arrives, the DAC_DHR1 (which can be DAC_CH1RDHRH/L
or DAC_CH1LDHRH/L or DAC_CH1DHR8 register depending on the selected data format)
register is transferred into DAC_CH1DORH/L (three CPU clock cycles later).
When a DAC channel2 trigger arrives, the DAC_DHR2(which can be DAC_CH2RDHRH/L
or DAC_CH2LDHRH/L or DAC_CH2DHR8 register depending on the selected data format)
register is transferred into DAC_CH2DORH/L (three CPU clock cycles later).

Independent trigger with same LFSR generation
•

Set the two DAC channel trigger enable bits DAC_CH1CR1/TEN and
DAC_CH2CR1/TEN

•

Configure different trigger sources by setting different values in the
DAC_CH1CR1/TSEL[2:0] and DAC_CH2CR1/TSEL[2:0] bits

•

Configure the two DAC channel WAVENx[1:0] bits as “01” and the same LFSR mask
value in the DAC_CHxCR2/MAMP[3:0] bits

•

Load the dual DAC channel data into the desired DAC_DHRx register (which can be
DAC_CHxRDHRH/L or DAC_CHxLDHRH/L or DAC_CHxDHR8 register depending on
the selected data format)

When a DAC channel1 trigger arrives, the LFSR1 counter, with the same mask/amplitude, is
added to the DAC_DHR1(which can be DAC_CH1RDHRH/L or DAC_CH1LDHRH/L or
DAC_CH1DHR8 register depending on the selected data format) register and the sum is
transferred into DAC_DOR1. Then the LFSR1 counter is updated.
When a DAC channel2 trigger arrives, the LFSR2 counter, with the same mask, is added to
the DAC_DHR2(which can be DAC_CH2RDHRH/L or DAC_CH2LDHRH/L or

transferred into DAC_DOR2. Then, the LFSR2 counter is updated.

•

Set the two DAC channel trigger enable bits DAC_CH1CR1/TEN and
DAC_CH2CR1/TEN

•

Configure different trigger sources by setting different values in the
DAC_CH1CR1/TSEL[2:0] and DAC_CH2CR1/TSEL[2:0] bits

•

amplitude configured by DAC_CH2CR2/MAMP[3:0], is added to the DHR2 register part and
the sum is transferred into DAC_DOR2 (three CPU clock cycles later). The DAC channel2
triangle counter is then updated.

Comparators (COMP)
This section applies to STM8L050xxx devices, low-density STM8L15xxx devices, mediumdensity STM8L15xxx devices, medium+ density STM8L15xxx devices and high-density
STM8L15xxx/STM8L16xxx devices, unless otherwise specified.

16.1

COMP introduction
The STM8L15xx and STM8L050xx contain two zero-crossing comparators COMP1 and
COMP2 that share the same current bias.

Note:

For all I/Os used as comparator inputs, the configuration in the GPIO registers must be
remain input floating.
For complete overview about comparators interconnection, see Section 11: Routing
interface (RI) and system configuration controller (SYSCFG).

16.2

COMP main features
•

One comparator (COMP1) with fixed threshold (internal reference voltage). The noninverting input can be selected from 25 (medium-density devices) or 28 (medium+ and
high-density devices) external I/Os.

•

One rail-to-rail comparator (COMP2) with selectable threshold. The non-inverting input
can be selected from three I/Os. The threshold can be selected from:
–

Internal reference voltage VREFINT

–

Internal reference voltage submultiple (1/4, 1/2, 3/4)

–

DAC output

–

One of three external I/Os.

•

The 2 comparators can be combined into window comparators.

•

A zero-crossing can generate a rising edge or a falling edge on comparator outputs
depending on a polarity bit

•

Each comparator can generate an interrupt with wakeup from Halt capability

•

COMP2 output can be redirected to TIM1 BRK or OCREFCLR inputs, or TIM2/TIM3
Input Capture 2.

•

COMP2 speed is configurable for optimum speed/consumption ratio.

The block diagram is shown on Figure 1.

1. On medium+ and high-density devices only.

Note:

COMP1 and ADC cannot be used simultaneously except for Group 8 of I/Os (PD1, PD0,
PE5) when comparators "Window mode" is selected. As soon as ADC is enabled, AS[14:0]
switches are controlled individually by ADC peripheral and only one switch is closed at a
time.
To use the COMP1 comparator, the application must perform the following steps:
1.

Set the VREFEN bit in COMP_CSR3 register to connect VREFINT to comparator 1
inverting input.

2.

Close the analog switches to create the path from selected I/O to the non-inverting
input:

3.

–

Close analog switch number 14 by setting the AS14 bit in the RI_ASCR2 register.

–

Close analog switch number ‘n’ corresponding to the I/O group (refer to Table 27),
by setting the ASx bit in the RI_ASCR1 or RI_ASCR2 register

Close the I/O switch of the I/O to be connected to the COMP1 non-inverting input. The
input can be any of the 24 I/Os from the 8 groups of 3 I/Os (refer to Table 27).
–

Select the correct I/O port by setting the corresponding CHxE bit in the I/O switch
registers: RI_IOSR1, RI_IOSR2 or RI_IOSR3 (refer to Table 27)

4.

If required, enable the COMP1 interrupt by setting the IE1 bit in the COMP_CSR1
register

5.

Configure the comparator to detect rising edge, falling edge or both rising and falling
edges using the CMP1[1:0] bits in the COMP_CSR1 register.

To use the COMP2 comparator, perform the following steps:
1.

Select the COMP2 Inverting Input with the INSEL[2:0] bits in the COMP_CSR3 register.
–

2.

Close the I/O channel switch to connect the I/O to the COMP2 non-inverting input. The

To select an external I/O (any I/O in of group 2), close the I/O channel switch by
setting the CH4E bit in the RI_IOSR1, the CH5E bit in the RI_IOSR2 or the CH6E
bit in the RI_IOSR3 register (see Table 27).

Set the CH22E bit in the RI_IOSR1 register, the CH23E bit in the RI_IOSR2 or the
CH24E bit in the RI_IOSR3 register.

If required, perform the following procedures:
–

Select the speed with the SPEED bit in COMP_CSR2 register.

–

Redirect the COMP2 output to timer 1, 2 or 3 by configuring the OUTSEL[1:0] bits
in the COMP_CSR3 register (see Figure 53).

–

Enable the COMP2 interrupt by setting the IE2 bit in the COMP_CSR2 register.

LCD controller

LCD controller
This section applies to medium-density STM8L052x/STM8L152x devices, medium+ density
STM8L052x/STM8L152x devices and high-density STM8L052x/STM8L152x/STM8L162x
devices, unless otherwise specified.

17.1

LCD controller introduction
The LCD controller can drive a passive-matrix LCD (liquid crystal display) unit.
•

In STM8L05xx value line high-density devices, it can interface with 8 common
terminals and up to 24 segment terminals to drive up to 192 picture elements (pixels).

•

In medium+ and high-density devices, it can interface with 8 common terminals and up
to 44 segment terminals to drive up to 320 picture elements (pixels).

•

In medium-density devices, It can interface with 4 common terminals and up to 28
segment terminals to drive up to 112 picture elements (pixels).

The LCD is made up of several segments (pixels or complete symbols) which can be turned
visible or invisible. Each segment consists of a layer of liquid crystal molecules aligned
between two electrodes. When a voltage greater than a threshold voltage is applied across
the liquid crystal, the segment becomes visible. The segment voltage must be alternated to
avoid an electrophoresis effect in the liquid crystal (which degrades the display). The
waveform across a segment must then be generated so as to avoid having a direct current
(DC).

17.1.1

Frequency generator
The frequency generator allows to achieve various LCD frame rates starting from an LCD
input clock frequency which is equal to RTCCLK divided by 2. For more information about
the LCD clock source configuration please refer to Section 9.9: RTC and LCD clock.
This clock source must be in the range of 16.384 kHz to 500 kHz and must be stable to
obtain an accurate LCD timing and minimize the DC voltage offset across LCD segments. It
can be divided by values from 1 up to 215 x 31. The frequency generator consists of a
prescaler (16-bit ripple counter) and a programmable clock divider (factor 16 to 31).

260/597

DocID15226 Rev 14

RM0031

LCD controller
The PS[3:0] bits in the LCD_FRQ register select the prescaler so as to divide LCDCLK by
2PS[3:0]. If a finer resolution rate is required, the DIV[3:0] bits in the LCD_FRQ register can
be used to further divide the clock by 16 to 31. In this way the user can fine-tune the
frequency by linearly scaling (up/down) the clock with the counter.
The output of the frequency generator block is ck_div which constitutes the time base for the
entire LCD controller. The ck_div frequency is equivalent to the LCD phase frequency rather
than the frame frequency (they are equal only in case of static duty).
The frame frequency (fframe) is obtained from ck_div by dividing it by the number of active
common terminals (or by multiplying it by the duty ratio). Thus the relation between the input
clock frequency (fLCDCLK) of the frequency generator and its output clock frequency fck_div
is:
f LCDCLK
f ck_div = -----------------------------------------------PS
2 × 〈 16 + DIV〉
f frame = f ck_div × duty

The frame frequency which must be selected to be within a range of around ~30 Hz to ~100
Hz is a compromise between power consumption and acceptable refresh rate. In addition, a
dedicated blink prescaler selects the blink frequency. This frequency is defined as:
f ck_div
f BLINK = ---------------------------BLINKF + 3
2

with BLINKF[2:0] = 0,1,2,..,7
The blink frequency achieved is in the range of 0.5 Hz, 1 Hz, 2 Hz or 4 Hz. Some examples
of typical frame rate calculation are shown in Table 57 and Table 58.

Common driver
Common signals are generated by a common driver which is a programmable ring counter
(see Figure 57).

COM signal bias
Each common signal (COMn) has identical waveforms but different phases. It has the
maximum amplitude VLCD or VSS only during the phase n of a frame cycle. During the other
phases, the signal amplitude is

Note:

•

1/4 VLCD or 3/4 VLCD in case of 1/4 bias (high-density devices only)

•

1/3 VLCD or 2/3 VLCD in case of 1/3 bias

•

1/2 VLCD in case of 1/2 bias.

The LCD controller generates only one type of LCD waveforms (waveform consuming less
power). The waveforms are described in Figure 59, Figure 60, Figure 61 and Figure 62.

A pixel is activated when both of its corresponding common and segment lines have their
maximum amplitudes during the same phase. As shown in Figure 57, common signal in
even frames vs. odd frames are phase inverted in order to reduce EMI (electromagnetic
interference). The first frame generated is the odd one followed by an even one.

In case of 1/2 bias (B2 bit set in the LCD_CR1 register in medium, medium+ and highdensity devices and B4 bit reset in the LCD_CR4 register in medium+ and high-density
devices), an intermediate voltage equal to 1/2 VLCD is generated for even and odd frames;
The input of this common driver is ck_div which is used to generate common waveforms.

COM signal duty
In medium+ and high-density devices:
Common signals are generated depending on the DUTY[1:0] bits in the LCD_CR1 register
and on the DUTY8 bit in the LCD_CR4 register. Five duty ratios can be selected:

264/597

•

Static duty (see Figure 59: Liquid crystal display and terminal connection (static duty)
on page 267)

•

1/2 duty (see Figure 60: Liquid crystal display and terminal connection (1/2 duty, 1/2
bias) on page 268)

•

1/3 duty (see Figure 61: Liquid crystal display and terminal connection (1/3 duty, 1/3
bias) on page 269)

•

1/4 duty (see Figure 62: Liquid crystal display and terminal connection (1/4 duty, 1/3

•

LCD controller
In medium-density devices:
Common signals are generated depending on the DUTY[1:0] bits in the LCD_CR1 register.
Four duty ratios can be selected:
•

Static duty (see Figure 59: Liquid crystal display and terminal connection (static duty)
on page 267)

•

1/2 duty (see Figure 60: Liquid crystal display and terminal connection (1/2 duty, 1/2
bias) on page 268)

•

1/3 duty (see Figure 61: Liquid crystal display and terminal connection (1/3 duty, 1/3
bias) on page 269)

•

1/4 duty (see Figure 62: Liquid crystal display and terminal connection (1/4 duty, 1/3
bias) on page 270)

The ‘n’ value has an impact on COMn behaviors:
•

•

COMn (with ‘n’ from 0 to 3 in medium-density devices and from 0 to 7 in medium+ and
high-density devices) is active
–

during phase ‘n’ of an even frame. The COMn pin is then driven to VLCD

–

during phase ‘n’ of an odd frame. The COMn pin is then driven to VSS

COMn is inactive during a phase not equal to ‘n’
–

In case of 1/4 bias (medium+ and high-density devices only), the COMn pin is then
driven to 1/4 VLCD during an even frame and to 3/4 VLCD during an odd frame

–

In case of 1/3 bias, the COMn pin is then driven to 1/3 VLCD during an even frame
and to 2/3 VLCD during an odd frame

–

In case of 1/2 bias, the COMn pin is then always driven to 1/2 VLCD (odd and even
frame).

When static duty is selected, the segment lines are not multiplexed, which means that each
segment output corresponds to one pixel. In this way only 28 pixels in the medium-density
devices and up to 44 pixels in the medium+ and high-density devices can be driven. COM0
is always active and only two voltage levels are used for the segment and common lines:
VLCD and VSS, while COM[3:1] in medium-density devices or COM[7:1] in medium+ and
high-density devices are not used.
A pixel is active if the corresponding segment line gets a voltage different from that of the
common line. It is inactive when both voltages are the same. In this case, the LCD has the
maximum contrast (see Figure 58 and Figure 59).
In the following figure, pixel 0 is active while pixel 1 is inactive.

In each frame there is only one phase, this is why fframe is equal to ffck_div.
In case of 1/4 duty:
If 1/4 duty is selected there are four phases in a frame in which COM0 is active during phase
0, COM1 is active during phase 1, COM2 is active during phase 2, and COM3 is active
during phase 3.
In this mode, the segment terminals are multiplexed and each of them control four pixels. A
pixel is activated only when both of its corresponding segments and common lines are
active in the same phase.
•

To deactivate pixel 0 connected to COM0, SEG0 needs to be inactive during the phase
0 when COM0 is active.

•

To activate pixel 27 connected to COM1, SEG27 needs to be active during phase 1
when COM1 is active (see Figure 62).

•

To activate pixels from 0 to 27 connected to COM0, SEG[0:27] need to be active during
phase 0 when CM0 is active.

These rules can be applied to all other pixels.

8 to 1 multiplexer
In medium+ and high-density devices, when COM[0] is active, the common driver block also
drives the 8 to 1 multiplexer shown in Figure 55: Medium + and high-density LCD controller
block diagram in order to select the content of RAM register locations corresponding to
COM[0]. When COM[7] is active, the output of the 8 to 1 multiplexer is the content of the
RAM locations corresponding to COM[7]. Refer to Section 17.6.7: LCD display memory
(LCD_RAM) on page 283.

4 to 1 multiplexer
In medium-density devices, when COM[0] is active, the common driver block also drives the
4 to 1 multiplexer shown in Figure 56: Medium-density LCD controller block diagram in
order to select the content of RAM register locations corresponding to COM[0]. When

Segment driver
The segment driver controls the segments depending on the input pixel data coming from
the 4 to 1 multiplexers (in the medium-density devices) or from 8 to 1 multiplexers (in the
medium+ and high-density devices) driven in each phase by the common driver.
In case of 1/4 duty, when COM0 is active, pixel information (active/inactive) relative to pixel
connected to COM0 goes through the 4 to 1 multiplexer.
In case of 1/8 duty, when COM0 is active, the pixel information (active/inactive) relative to
the pixel connected to COM0 goes through the 8 to 1 multiplexer.

DocID15226 Rev 14

271/597
286

LCD controller

RM0031

The segment driver can operate in different ways:
•

•

If pixel 'n' is active when COM0 is active:
–

the segment driver drives the SEGn pin (with ‘n’ from 0 to 27 in medium-density
devices or from 0 to 43 in medium+ and high-density devices) to VSS in the phase
0 of an even frame

–

the segment driver drives the SEGn pin to VLCD in the phase 0 of an odd frame

If pixel 'n' is inactive
–

in case of 1/4 bias (in medium+ and high-density devices) the segment driver
drives the SEGn pin to 1/2 VLCD in an even frame and to 1/2 VLCD in an odd frame

–

in case of 1/3 bias the segment driver drives the SEGn pin to 2/3 VLCD in an even
frame. the segment drives drives the SEGn pin to 1/3 VLCD in an odd frame.

–

in case of 1/2 bias SEGn pin is driven to VLCD in an even frame and to Vss in an
odd frame (see Figure 60: Liquid crystal display and terminal connection (1/2 duty,
1/2 bias)).

The segment driver also performs LCD pin multiplexing as general I/O.

17.3.5

Enabling a segment
Each segment pin (SEG[27:0] or SEG[43:0]) can be enabled or disabled (configured as
general purpose I/O) independently through 4 or 6 LCD_PM registers. If the LCDEN bit in
the LCD_CR3 register is reset and pins are configured as segment pins, segment lines are
then pulled down to VSS at the end of the even frame.

17.3.6

Blink
The segment driver also implements a programmable blink feature. It is possible to select
the number of blink pixels through the BLINK[1:0] bits in the LCD_CR1 register:
•

a single pixel (COM0, SEG0),

•

all the pixels attached to SEG0 (up to 4),

•

or all pixels.

To do this, the corresponding bits in the LCD data RAM must be programmed.
The blink prescaler, through the BLINKF[2:0] bits, selects a wide range of blink frequencies,
including 0.5 Hz, 1 Hz, 2 Hz or 4 Hz.

17.3.7

Multiplexing COM[7:4] and SEG[43:40], SEG[39:36], or SEG[31:28]
In medium+ and high-density devices, the LCD controller can drive Nx4 or (N-4)x8 pixels
through the N+4 available LCD pins. The COM4..7 signals and some SEG signals
(depending on packages) share the same four pins and the multiplexing is controlled by the
DUTY8 bit in the LCD_CR4 register.

Note:

“N” values can be 44, 40 or 28 respectively on 80-pin, 64-pin or 48-pin packages.
For STM8L05xx value line devices, “N” value is 28 on 64-pin or 48-pin packages.

and 28x4 pixels for 48-pin package. 80-pin package is not available.

17.3.8

Generation of LCD voltage levels
The LCD voltage levels are generated internally using:
•

an internal booster which generates VLCD. The user can also provide the VLCD voltage
externally through the VLCD pin if the VSEL bit is set in the LCD_CR2 register

•

an internal resistor divider network which generates all VLCD intermediate voltages, as
shown in Figure 64.

In fact, two resistive networks are used, one with low value resistors (Rl) and one with high
value resistors (RH) which are respectively used to increase the current during transitions
and to reduce power consumption in static state.
The EN switch follows the following rules:
•

If LCDEN bit in the LCD_CR3 register is set, the EN switch is closed.

•

When clearing the LCDEN bit in the LCD_CR3, the EN switch is open at the end of the
even frame in order to avoid a medium voltage level different from 0 during the frame.

The PON[2:0] (Pulse ON duration) bits in the LCD_CR2 register configure the time during
which RL is enabled (see Figure 55) through a HD (high drive) when the levels of common
and segment lines change. A short drive time decreases power consumption, but displays
DocID15226 Rev 14

273/597
286

LCD controller

RM0031

with high internal resistance may need a longer drive time to achieve a satisfactory contrast.
The RL divider can be always switched on using the HD bit in the LCD_CR2 register.
The HD switch follows the rules described below:
•

If the HD bit and the PON[2:0] bits in the LCD_CR2 are reset, then HD switch is open.

•

If the HD bit in the LCD_CR2 register is reset and the PON[2:0] bits in the LCD_CR2
are different from 00 then, the HD switch is closed during the number of pulses defined
in the PON[2:0] bits.

•

If HD bit in the LCD_CR2 register is 1 then HD switch is always closed.

The VLCD value can be chosen among a wide set of values from VLCDmin to VLCDmax using
the CC[2:0] bits (contrast control bits) in the LCD_CR2 register (see Figure 55). New VLCD
values take effect at each beginning of a new frame.

•

In case of 1/2 bias, one voltage level (1/2 VLCD) is generated and node b voltage is 1/2
VLCD.

•

In case of 1/3 bias, two intermediate voltage levels (1/3 VLCD, 2/3 VLCD) are generated

•

–

node a is 1/3 VLCD

–

node b is 2/3 VLCD

In case of 1/4 bias (medium+ and high-density devices only), three intermediate
voltage levels (1/4 VLCD, 1/2 VLCD and 3/4 VLCD) are generated
–

node a is 1/4 VLCD

–

node b is 1/2 LCD

–

node c is 3/4 VLCD.

Internal or external VLCD source can be selected using the VSEL bits of the LCD_CR2
register.
Note:

In case the internal VLCD source is selected (VSEL=0) and the LCD is used in Active-halt
mode, the ULP bit (bit 1) in the PWR_CSR2 register must be programmed to '0' because the
internal VLCD source needs the internal reference voltage.
The contrast can be controlled by programming a dead time between each couple of frames
where the COM and SEG value is tied to Vss in the same time. The DEAD[0:2] bits in the
LCD_CR3 register can be used to program up to 7 times a phase period.

LCD buffer update
Each time the LCD message is to be changed, LCD_RAM content is to be updated with new
data.
Single buffered memory does not allow data in LCD_RAM buffer to be updated at any time
by the application firmware without affecting the integrity of data displayed. So, to avoid any
display unexpected behavior, the application firmware must make sure that LCD_RAM
content is updated synchronously with the start of frame.
To update the LCD_RAM content, proceed as follow:
•

Clear SOF flag by setting SOFC bit in LCD_CR3

•

Wait until SOF active (start of new frame) by polling SOF bit in LCD_CR3 until it is
asserted or waiting until the LCD Interrupt is serviced (if the SOFIE bit is set)

•

Update LCD_RAM buffer

Note:

Thereby, LCD_RAM refresh rate should not be faster than the LCD frame frequency.
Otherwise it might result in lower quality display results like pixel blinking.

LCD controller interrupts
The common driver can also generate a start of new frame flag through the SOF bit in the
LCD_CR3 register. This bit is set at the beginning of the last COM of the even frame. At this

Bits 7:5 PON: Pulse ON duration
These bits specify the pulse duration (number of CLKPS pulses). The pulse duration is PON[2:0] clock
cycles coming out from the first prescaler thus determining the amount of time the RL resistive network
is turned on for each voltage transition on SEG and COM pins. A short drive time decreases power
consumption, but displays with a high internal resistance may need longer drive time to achieve a
satisfactory contrast.

When this bit is set, the LCD start of frame interrupt is enabled.
0: SOF interrupt disabled
1: SOF interrupt enabled
Bit 4 SOF: Start of frame flag
This bit is set by hardware at the beginning of a last COM of an even frame. The LCD Interrupt is
serviced if the SOFIE bit is set. SOF is cleared by software by setting the SOFC bit.
0: SOF inactive
1: SOF active (start of new frame)
Bit 3 SOFC: SOF flag clear
Setting this bit will clear the SOF flag. This bit is reset by hardware automatically.
Bits 2:0 DEAD[2:0]: Dead time enable
These bits determine the number of phases between different couples of frames where the COM and
the SEG voltage levels are tied to 0 to reduce the contrast.

Bits 7:4 PS[3:0]: CLK 16-bit prescaler
The input clock (CLK) goes to a prescaler. The PS[3:0] bits select the prescaler so as to divide the
clock by a factor of 2PS[3:0]. The prescaled output CLKPS can be further divided by setting the DIV[3:0]
bits. PS and DIV bits determine the prescaled LCD clock (CLKLCD) feeding the LCD module.
Bits 3:0 DIV[3:0]: Divider from 16 to 31
These bits set the frequency of the LCD clock such that the period can be DIV[3:0]+16 clocks coming
out from the first prescaler. This clock divider provides a more flexible frame rate selection.

Timer overview

Timer overview
This section applies to low-density STM8L05xx/STM8L15xx devices, medium-density
STM8L05xx/STM8L15xx devices, medium+ density STM8L05xx/STM8L15xx devices and
high-density STM8L05xx/STM8L15xx/STM8L16xx devices, unless otherwise specified.
The devices in the STM8L05xx, STM8L15xx and STM8L16xx family may be equipped with
up to three different timer types: Advanced control (TIM1), general purpose
(TIM2/TIM3/TIM5), and basic timer (TIM4). The timers share the same architecture, but
some have additional unique features. The common timer architecture, which includes
identical register mapping and common basic features, simplifies their use and makes it
easier to design applications. Table 63 shows the main timer characteristics.
The TIM5 general purpose timer is available on low, medium+ and high-density devices only
(not on medium-density devices). The TIM1 advanced control timer is not available on lowdensity devices. Refer to the product datasheets for more details.
Although the timers do not share any resources, they can be linked together and
synchronized.
This section gives a comparison of the different timer features (Table 64), a glossary of
internal timer signal names (Table 65).
Section 19: 16-bit advanced control timer (TIM1) contains a full description of all the various
timer modes. The other timer sections (Section 20 and Section 21) are more brief and give
only specific details on each timer, its block diagram, and register description.

16-bit advanced control timer (TIM1)

16-bit advanced control timer (TIM1)
This section gives a description of the full set of timer features.

19.1

TIM1 introduction
TIM1 consists of a 16-bit up-down auto-reload counter driven by a programmable prescaler.
The timer may be used for a variety of purposes, including:
•

Time base generation

•

Measuring the pulse lengths of input signals (input capture)

•

Generating output waveforms (output compare, PWM and one-pulse mode)

•

Interrupt capability on various events (capture, compare, overflow, break, trigger)

•

DMA request capability on capture, compare, overflow events

•

Synchronization with other timers or external signals (external clock, reset, trigger and
enable).

This timer is ideally suited for a wide range of control applications, including those requiring
center-aligned PWM capability with complementary outputs and deadtime insertion.
The timer clock can be sourced from internal clocks or from an external source selectable
through a configuration register.

TIM1 main features
TIM1 features include:
•

16-bit up, down, up/down counter auto-reload counter

•

Repetition counter to update the timer registers only after a given number of cycles of
the counter.

•

16-bit programmable prescaler allowing the counter clock frequency to be divided “on
the fly” by any factor between 1 and 65536.

•

Synchronization circuit to control the timer with external signals and to interconnect
several timers.

•

3 independent channels (channel 1, channel 2 and channel 3) that can alternately be
configured as:

TIM1 time base unit
The timer has a time base unit that includes:
•

16-bit up/down counter

•

16-bit auto-reload register

•

Repetition counter

•

Prescaler
Figure 68. Time base unit

The 16-bit counter, the prescaler, the auto-reload register and the repetition counter register
can be written or read by software.
The auto-reload register is composed of a preload register plus a shadow register.
Writing to the auto-reload register can be done in two modes:
•

Auto-reload preload enabled (ARPE bit set in the TIM1_CR1 register). In this mode,
when data is written to the auto-reload register, it is kept in the preload register and
transferred into the shadow register at the next update event (UEV).

•

Auto-reload preload disabled (ARPE bit cleared in the TIM1_CR1 register). In this
mode, when data is written to the auto-reload register it is transferred into the shadow
register immediately.

An update event is generated:
•

On a counter overflow or underflow

•

By software, setting the UG bit in the TIM1_EGR register

•

By a trigger event from the clock/trigger controller

With preload enabled (ARPE = 1), when an update event occurs: The auto-reload shadow
register is updated with the preload value (TIM1_ARR) and the buffer of the prescaler is
reloaded with the preload value (content of the TIM1_PSCR register).
The UEV can be disabled by setting the UDIS bit in the TIM1_CR1
The counter is clocked by the prescaler output CK_CNT, which is enabled only when the
counter enable bit (CEN) in TIM1_CR1 register is set.
Note:

294/597

The actual counter enable signal CNT_EN is set 1 clock cycle after CEN.

19.3.1

16-bit advanced control timer (TIM1)

Reading and writing to the 16-bit counter
There is no buffering when writing to the counter. Both TIM1_CNTRH and TIM1_CNTRL
can be written at any time, so it is suggested not to write a new value into the counter while
it is running to avoid loading an incorrect intermediate content.
An 8-bit buffer is implemented for the read. Software must read the MS byte first, after which
the LS byte value is buffered automatically (see Figure 69). This buffered value remains
unchanged until the 16-bit read sequence is completed.

Note:

Do not use the LDW instruction to read the 16-bit counter. It reads the LS byte first and
returns an incorrect result.
Figure 69. 16-bit read sequence for the counter (TIM1_CNTR)

19.3.2

Write sequence for 16-bit TIM1_ARR register
16-bit values are loaded in the TIM1_ARR register through preload registers. This must be
performed by two write instructions, one for each byte. The MS byte must be written first.
The shadow register update is blocked as soon as the MS byte has been written, and stays
blocked until the LS byte has been written. Do not use the LDW instruction as this writes the
LS byte first which produces incorrect results.

19.3.3

Prescaler
The prescaler implementation is as follows:
The TIM1 prescaler is based on a 16-bit counter controlled through a 16-bit register (in
TIM1_PSCR register). It can be changed on the fly as this control register is buffered. It can
divide the counter clock frequency by any factor between 1 and 65536.
The counter clock frequency is calculated as follows:
fCK_CNT = fCK_PSC/(PSCR[15:0]+1)
The prescaler value is loaded through a preload register. The shadow register, which
contains the current value to be used, is loaded as soon as the LS byte has been written.
To update the 16-bit prescaler, load two bytes in separate write operations starting with the
MSB. Do not use the LDW instruction for this purpose as it writes the LSB first.
The new prescaler value is taken into account in the following period (after the next counter
update event).

DocID15226 Rev 14

Read operations to the TIM1_PSCR registers access the preload registers, so no special
care needs to be taken to read them.

19.3.4

Up-counting mode
In up-counting mode, the counter counts from 0 to a user-defined compare value (content of
the TIM1_ARR register). It then restarts from 0 and generates a counter overflow event and
a UEV if the UDIS bit is 0 in the TIM1_CR1 register.
Figure 70 shows an example of this counting mode.

An update event can also be generated by setting the UG bit in the TIM1_EGR register
(either by software or by using the trigger controller).
The UEV can be disabled by software by setting the UDIS bit in the TIM1_CR1 register. This
is to avoid updating the shadow registers while writing new values in the preload registers.
No UEV occurs until the UDIS bit has been written to 0. Note that the counter and the
prescaler restart counting from 0 but, the prescaler division factor does not change. In
addition, if the URS bit (update request selection) in the TIM1_CR1 register is set, setting
the UG bit generates an UEV without setting the UIF flag. Consequently, no interrupt or
DMA request is sent. This avoids generating both update and capture interrupts when
clearing the counter on the capture event.
When an update event occurs, all the registers are updated and the update flag (UIF bit in
TIM1_SR1 register) is set (depending on the URS bit):
•

The auto-reload shadow register is updated with the preload value (TIM1_ARR).

•

The buffer of the prescaler is reloaded with the preload value (content of the
TIM1_PSCR register).

Figure 71 and Figure 72 show two examples of the counter behavior for different clock
frequencies when TIM1_ARR = 0x36.
In Figure 71, the prescaler divider is set to 2, so the counter clock (CK_CNT) frequency is at
half the frequency of the prescaler clock source (CK_PSC). The auto-reload preload is
disabled (ARPE = 0). Consequently, the shadow register is immediately changed and
counter overflow occurs when upcounting reaches 0x36. This generates a UEV.

In Figure 72 the prescaler divider is set to 1, so CK_CNT has the same frequency as
CK_PSC. The auto-reload preload is enabled (ARPE = 1), so the next counter overflow
occurs at 0xFF. The new auto-reload value register value of 36h is taken into account after
the overflow which generates a UEV.

Down-counting mode
In down-counting mode, the counter counts from the auto-reload value (content of the
TIM1_ARR register) down to 0. It then restarts from the auto-reload value and generates a
counter underflow and a UEV, if the UDIS bit is 0 in the TIM1_CR1 register.

An update event can also be generated by setting the UG bit in the TIM1_EGR register (by
software or by using the clock/trigger mode controller).
The UEV update event can be disabled by software by setting the UDIS bit in TIM1_CR1
register. This is to avoid updating the shadow registers while writing new values in the
preload registers. No update event occurs until the UDIS bit has been written to 0. However,
the counter restarts from the current auto-reload value, whereas the counter of the prescaler
restarts from 0 (without any change to the prescale rate).
In addition, if the URS bit (update request selection) in the TIM1_CR1 register is set, setting
the UG bit generates a UEV without setting the UIF flag (thus no interrupt or DMA request is
sent). This avoids generating both update and capture interrupts when clearing the counter
on the capture event.
When an update event occurs, all the registers are updated and the update flag (UIF bit in
TIM1_SR1 register) is set (depending on the URS bit):
•

The buffer of the prescaler is reloaded with the preload value (content of the
TIM1_PSCR register),

•

The auto-reload shadow register is updated with the preload value (content of the
TIM1_ARR register). Note that the auto-reload is updated before the counter is
reloaded, so that the next period is the expected one.

Figure 74 and Figure 75 show some examples of the counter behavior for different clock
frequencies when TIM1_ARR = 0x36.
In downcounting mode, preload is not normally used. Consequently, the new value is taken
into account in the next period (see Figure 74).

RM0031

Center-aligned mode (up/down counting)
In center-aligned mode, the counter counts from 0 to the auto-reload value of -1 (content of
the TIM1_ARR register). This generates a counter overflow event. The counter then counts
down to 0 and generates a counter underflow event. After this, the counter restarts counting
from 0.
In this mode, the direction bit (DIR) in the TIM1_CR1 register cannot be written. It is updated
by hardware and gives the current direction of the counter.
The Figure 76 shows an example of this counting mode.

If the timer has a repetition counter (as in TIM1), the UEV is generated after up and down
counting and repeated for the number of times programmed in the repetition counter
register (TIM1_RCR). Otherwise, the UEV is generated at each counter overflow and at
each counter underflow.
Setting the UG bit in the TIM1_EGR register (by software or by using the clock/trigger mode
controller) also generates an update event. In this case, the counter and the prescaler
restart counting from 0.
The UEV can be disabled by software by setting the UDIS bit in the TIM1_CR1 register. This
is to avoid updating the shadow registers while writing new values in the preload registers.
In this way, no update event occurs until the UDIS bit is written to 0. However, the counter
continues counting up and down, based on the current auto-reload value. In timers with a
repetition counter, the new update rate is used because the repetition register is not double
buffered. For this reason, care must be taken when changing the update rate.
In addition, if the URS bit in the TIM1_CR1 register is set, setting the UG bit generates a
UEV without setting the UIF flag. Consequently, no interrupt or DMA request is sent. This
avoids generating both update and capture interrupts when clearing the counter on the
capture event.
When an update event occurs, all registers are updated and the update flag (the UIF bit in
the TIM1_SR1 register) is set (depending on the URS bit).
•

The buffer of the prescaler is reloaded with the preload value (content of the
TIM1_PSCR register).

•

The auto-reload shadow register is updated with the preload value (content of the
TIM1_ARR register). Note that if the update source is a counter overflow, the autoreload is updated before the counter is reloaded, so that the next period is the expected
one (the counter is loaded with the new value).

Below are some examples of the counter behavior for different clock frequencies.

16-bit advanced control timer (TIM1)
Figure 77. Counter timing diagram, fCK_CNT = fCK_PSC, TIM1_ARR = 06h, ARPE = 1

Hints on using center-aligned mode:
•

When starting in center-aligned mode, the current up-down configuration is used. It
means that the counter starts counting up or down depending on the value written in
the DIR bit in the TIM1_CR1 register. Moreover, the DIR and CMS bits must not be
changed at the same time by the software.

•

Writing to the counter while running in center-aligned mode is not recommended as it
can lead to unexpected results. In particular:

•

–

The direction is not updated if a value is written in the counter that is greater than
the auto-reload value (TIM1_CNT>TIM1_ARR). For example, if the counter is
counting up, it continues to do so.

–

The direction is updated if 0 or the TIM1_ARR value are written in the counter but
no UEV is generated.

The safest way to use center-aligned mode is to generate an update by software
(setting the UG bit in the TIM1_EGR register) just before starting the counter. Avoid
writing to the counter while it is running.

RM0031

Repetition down-counter
Section 19.3: TIM1 time base unit describes how the UEV is generated with respect to
counter overflows/underflows. It is generated only when the repetition down-counter
reaches zero. This can be useful while generating PWM signals.
This means that data are transferred from the preload registers to the shadow registers
(TIM1_ARR auto-reload register, TIM1_PSCR prescaler register, and TIM1_CCRx
capture/compare registers in compare mode) every ‘n’ counter overflow or underflow, where
N is the value in the TIM1_RCR repetition counter register.
The repetition down-counter is decremented:
•

At each counter overflow in up-counting mode

•

At each counter underflow in down-counting mode

•

At each counter overflow and at each counter underflow in center-aligned mode.
Although this limits the maximum number of repetitions to 128 PWM cycles, it makes it
possible to update the duty cycle twice per PWM period. When refreshing compare
registers only once per PWM period in center-aligned mode, maximum resolution is
2 x tCK_PSC due to the symmetry of the pattern.

The repetition down-counter is an auto-reload type, the repetition rate of which is
maintained as defined by the TIM1_RCR register value (refer to Figure 78). When the UEV
is generated by software (by setting the UG bit in the TIM1_EGR register) or by hardware
(through the clock/trigger controller), it occurs immediately irrespective of the value of the
repetition down-counter. The repetition down-counter is reloaded with the content of the
TIM1_RCR register.

Procedure
Use the following procedure to configure the up-counter and, for example, to count in
response to a rising edge on the TI2 input:
1.

Configure channel 2 to detect rising edges on the TI2 input by writing CC2S = 01 in the
TIM1_CCMR2 register.

2.

Configure the input filter duration by writing the IC2F[3:0] bits in the TIM1_CCMR2
register (if no filter is needed, keep IC2F = 0000).
Note: The capture prescaler is not used for triggering, so it does not need t o be
configured. The CC2S bits do not need to be configured either as they only select the
input capture source.

3.

Select rising edge polarity by writing CC2P = 0 in the TIM1_CCER1 register.

4.

Configure the timer in external clock mode 1 by writing SMS = 111 in the TIM1_SMCR
register.

5.

Select TI2 as the input source by writing TS = 110 in the TIM1_SMCR register.

6.

Enable the counter by writing CEN = 1 in the TIM1_CR1 register.

When a rising edge occurs on TI2, the counter counts once and the trigger flag is set (TIF bit
in the TIM1_SR1 register) and an interrupt request can be sent if enabled (depending on the
TIE bit in the TIM1_IER register).
The delay between the rising edge on TI2 and the actual reset of the counter is due to the
resynchronization circuit on TI2 input.

Procedure
Use the following procedure to configure the up-counter and, for example, to count once
every two rising edges on the ETR:
1.

As no filter is needed in this example, write ETF[3:0] = 0000 in the TIM1_ETR register.

2.

Set the prescaler by writing ETPS[1:0] = 01 in the TIM1_ETR register.

3.

Select rising edge detection on the ETR pin by writing ETP = 0 in the TIM1_ETR
register.

4.

Enable external clock mode 2 by writing ECE = 1 in the TIM1_ETR register.

5.

Enable the counter by writing CEN = 1 in the TIM1_CR1 register.

The counter counts once every two ETR rising edges.
The delay between the rising edge on the ETR and the actual reset of the counter is due to
the resynchronization circuit on the external trigger signal (ETRP).

The TIM1 timer can be synchronized with an external trigger in three modes: Trigger
standard mode, trigger reset mode and trigger gated mode.

Trigger standard mode
The counter can start in response to an event on a selected input.
Procedure
Use the following procedure to start the up-counter in response, for example, to a rising
edge on the TI2 input:
1.

Configure channel 2 to detect rising edges on TI2. As no filter is required in this
example, configure an input filter duration of 0 (IC2F = 0000). The capture prescaler is
not used for triggering and does not need to be configured. The CC2S bits select the
input capture source and do not need to be configured either. Write CC2P = 0 in the
TIM1_CCER1 register to select rising edge polarity.

2.

Configure the timer in trigger mode by writing SMS = 110 in the TIM1_SMCR register.
Select TI2 as the input source by writing TS = 110 in the TIM1_SMCR register.

When a rising edge occurs on TI2, the counter starts counting on the internal clock and the
TIF flag is set.
The delay between the rising edge on TI2 and the actual reset of the counter is due to the
resynchronization circuit on TI2 input.

16-bit advanced control timer (TIM1)

Trigger reset mode
The counter and its prescaler can be re-initialized in response to an event on a trigger input.
Moreover, if the URS bit from the TIM1_CR1 register is low, a UEV is generated. Then all
the preloaded registers (TIM1_ARR, TIM1_CCRi) are updated.
Example
Use the following procedure to clear the up-counter in response to a rising edge on TI1
input:
1.

Configure channel 1 to detect rising edges on TI1. As no filter is required in this
example, configure an input filter duration of 0 (IC2F = 0000). The capture prescaler is
not used for triggering and does not need to be configured. The CC1S bits select the
input capture source and do not need to be configured either. Write CC1P = 0 in
TIM1_CCER1 register to validate the polarity (and detect rising edges).

2.

Configure the timer in reset mode by writing SMS = 100 in TIM1_SMCR register. Select
TI1 as the input source by writing TS = 101 in the TIM1_SMCR register.

3.

Start the counter by writing CEN = 1 in the TIM1_CR1 register.

The counter starts counting on the internal clock and behaves normally until the TI1 rising
edge. When TI1 rises, the counter is cleared and restarts from 0. In the meantime, the
trigger flag is set (TIF bit in the TIM1_SR1 register) and an interrupt request can be sent if
enabled (depending on the TIE in the TIM1_IER register).
Figure 86 shows this behavior when the auto-reload register TIM1_ARR = 36h. The delay
between the rising edge on TI1 and the actual reset of the counter is due to the
resynchronization circuit on TI1 input.

Trigger gated mode
The counter can be enabled depending on the level of a selected input.
Example
Use the following procedure to enable the up-counter when TI1 input is low:
1.

Configure channel 1 to detect low levels on TI1. Configure the input filter duration (IC1F
= 0000). The capture prescaler is not used for triggering and does not need to be
configured. The CC1S bits select the input capture source and do not need to be
configured either. Write CC1P = 1 in the TIM1_CCER1 register to validate the polarity
(and detect low level).

2.

Configure the timer in trigger gated mode by writing SMS = 101 in the TIM1_SMCR
register. Select TI1 as the input source by writing TS = 101 in the TIM1_SMCR register.

3.

Enable the counter by writing CEN = 1 in the TIM1_CR1 register (in trigger gated
mode, the counter does not start if CEN = 0 irrespective of the trigger input level).

The counter starts counting on the internal clock as long as TI1 is low. It stops as soon as
TI1 becomes high. The TIF flag is set when the counter starts or stops.
The delay between the rising edge on TI1 and the actual reset of the counter is due to the
resynchronization circuit on TI1 input.

16-bit advanced control timer (TIM1)

Combining trigger modes with external clock mode 2
External clock mode 2 can be used with another trigger mode. For example, the ETR can be
used as the external clock input, and a different input can be selected as trigger input (in
trigger standard mode, trigger reset mode, or trigger gated mode). Care must be taken not
to select ETR as TRGI (through the TS bits in the TIM1_SMCR register).
Example
Use the following procedure to enable the up-counter at each rising edge on the ETR as
soon as a rising edge occurs on TI1 (standard trigger mode with external ETR clock):
1.

Configure the external trigger input circuit by writing to the TIM1_ETR register. Write
ETF = 0000 (no filter needed in this example). Write ETPS = 00 to disable the
prescaler, write ETP = 0 to detect rising edges on the ETR, and write ECE = 1 to
enable external clock mode 2.

2.

Configure channel 1 to detect rising edges on TI1. Configure the input filter duration
(IC1F = 0000). The capture prescaler is not used for triggering and does not need to be
configured. The CC1S bits select the input capture source and do not need to be
configured either. Write CC1P = 0 in the TIM1_CCER1 register to select rising edge
polarity.

3.

Configure the timer in trigger mode by writing SMS = 110 in the TIM1_SMCR register.
Select TI1 as the input source by writing TS = 101 in the TIM1_SMCR register.

A rising edge on TI1 enables the counter and sets the TIF flag. Consequently, the counter
counts on the ETR rising edges.
The delay between the rising edge on TI1 and the actual reset of the counter is due to the
resynchronization circuit on TI1 input. The delay between the rising edge on the ETR and
the actual reset of the counter is due to the resynchronization circuit on the ETRP signal.

Synchronization between timers
On STM8AF and STM8S low-density devices, the timers are linked together internally for
timer synchronization or chaining. When one timer is configured in master mode, it can
output a trigger (TRGO) to reset, start, stop, or clock the counter of any other timer
configured in slave mode.

Using one timer as prescaler for another timer
Refer to Figure 91 to see how timer A can be configured to act as a prescaler for timer B.

Note:

1.

Configure timer A in master mode so that it outputs a periodic trigger signal on each
UEV. To configure that a rising edge is output on TRGO1 each time an update event is
generated, write MMS = 010 in the TIMx_CR2 register.

2.

Connect the TRGO1 output of timer A to timer B, timer B must be configured in slave
mode using ITR1 as the internal trigger. Select this through the TS bits in the
TIMx_SMCR register (see TS[2:0] bit definitions in TIMx_SMCR register).

3.

Put the clock/trigger controller in external clock mode 1, by writing SMS = 111 in the
TIMx_SMCR register. This causes timer B to be clocked by the rising edge of the
periodic timer A trigger signal (which corresponds to the timer A counter overflow).

4.

Enable both timers by setting their respective CEN bits (TIMx_CR1 register).

If OCi is selected on timer A as trigger output (MMS = 1xx), its rising edge is used to clock
the counter of timer B.

16-bit advanced control timer (TIM1)

Using one timer to enable another timer
Example 1
The enable of timer B is controlled with the output compare 1 of timer A (refer to Figure 92
for connections). Timer B counts on the divided internal clock only when OC1REF of timer A
is high. Both counter clock frequencies are divided by four by the prescaler compared to
fSYSCLK (fCK_CNT = fSYSCLK/4).

Note:

1.

Configure timer A master mode to send its output compare 1 reference (OC1REF)
signal as trigger output (MMS = 100 in the TIMx_CR2 register).

2.

Configure the timer A OC1REF waveform (TIMx_CCMR1 register)

3.

Configure timer B to get the input trigger from timer A (see TS[2:0] bit definitions in

Enable timer B by writing 1 in the CEN bit (TIMx_CR1 register)

6.

In Figure 92, the timer B counter and prescaler are not initialized before being started.
Therefore, they start counting from their current value. It is possible to start from a given
value by resetting both timers before starting timer A. In this case, any value can be written
in the timer counters. The timers can easily be reset by software using the UG bit in the
TIMx_EGR registers.

The enable of timer B is set with the UEV of timer A (refer to Figure 91 for connections).
Timer B starts counting from its current value (which can be non-zero) on the divided
internal clock as soon as the UEV is generated by timer A. When timer B receives the

Starting 2 timers synchronously in response to an external trigger
Example
The enable of timer A is set when its TI1 input rises and the enable of timer B is set with the
enable of timer A (refer to Figure 91 for connections). To ensure the counters alignment,
timer A must be configured in master/slave mode (slave with respect to TI1, master with
respect to timer B).
1.

Configure timer A master mode to send its enable as trigger output (MMS = 001 in the
TIMx_CR2 register).

2.

Configure timer A slave mode to get the input trigger from TI1 (TS = 100 in the
TIMx_SMCR register).

3.

Configure timer A in trigger mode (SMS = 110 in the TIMx_SMCR register)

4.

Configure timer A in master/slave mode by writing MSM = 1 (TIMx_SMCR register)

5.

Configure timer B to get the input trigger from timer A (see TS[2:0] bit definitions in
TIMx_SMCR register).

6.

Configure timer B in trigger mode (SMS = 110 in the TIMx_SMCR register)

When a rising edge occurs on TI1 (timer A), both counters start counting synchronously on
the internal clock and both TIF flags are set.
Note:

318/597

In this example both timers are initialized before starting (by setting their respective UG
bits). Both counters start from 0, but an offset can easily be inserted between them by
writing to any of the counter registers (TIMx_CNT). It can be seen that the master/slave
mode inserts a delay between CNT_EN and CK_PSC on timer A.

TIM1 capture/compare channels
The timer I/O pins (TIM1_CCi) can be configured either for input capture or output compare
functions. The choice is made by configuring the CCiS channel selection bits in the
capture/compare channel mode registers (TIM1_CCMRi), where i is the channel number.
Each Capture/Compare channel is built around a capture/compare register (including a
shadow register), an input stage for capture (with digital filter, multiplexing and prescaler)
and an output stage (with comparator and output control).

DocID15226 Rev 14

16-bit advanced control timer (TIM1)

RM0031

The capture/compare block is made of one preload register and one shadow register. Write
and read always access the preload register. In capture mode, captures are made in the
shadow register, which is copied into the preload register. In compare mode, the content of
the preload register is copied into the shadow register which is compared to the counter.
When the channel is configured in output mode (CCiS = 00 in the TIM1_CCMRi registers),
the TIM1_CCRi registers can be accessed without any restriction.
When the channel is configured in input mode, the sequence for reading the TIM1_CCRi
registers is the same as for the counter (see Figure 98). When a capture occurs, the content
of the counter is captured into the TIM1_CCRi shadow registers. Then this value is loaded
into the preload register, except during a read sequence, when the preload register is
frozen.
Figure 98. 16-bit read sequence for the TIM1_CCRi register in capture mode

Figure 98 shows the sequence for reading the CCRi registers in the 16-bit timers. This
buffered value remains unchanged until the 16-bit read sequence is completed.
After a complete read sequence, if only the TIM1_CCRiL registers are read, they return the
LS byte of the count value at the time of the read.
If the MS byte is read after the LS byte, it no longer corresponds to the same captured value
as the LS byte.

19.5.1

Write sequence for 16-bit TIM1_CCRi registers
16-bit values are loaded in the TIM1_CCRi registers through preload registers. This must
be performed by two write instructions, one for each byte. The MS byte must be written first.
The shadow register update is blocked as soon as the MS byte has been written, and stays
blocked until the LS byte is written. Do not use the LDW instruction, as this writes the LS
byte first, and produces incorrect results in this case.

Input capture mode
In input capture mode, the capture/compare registers (TIM1_CCRi) are used to latch the
value of the counter after a transition detected on the corresponding ICi signal. When a
capture occurs, the corresponding CCiIF flag (TIM1_SR1 register) is set.
An interrupt or DMA request can be sent if it is enabled, by setting the CCiIE bits in the
TIM1_IER register or the CCxDE bit in the TIM1_DER register. If a capture occurs while the
CCiIF flag is already high, the over-capture flag CCiOF (TIM1_SR2 register) is set. CCiIF
can be cleared by software by writing it to 0 or by reading the captured data stored in the
TIMx_CCRiL registers. CCiOF is cleared by writing it to 0.
Procedure
The following procedure shows how to capture the counter value in TIM1_CCR1, for
example, when TI1 input rises.
1.

Select the active input: For example, to link the TIM1_CCR1 register to the TI1 input,
write the CC1S bits to 01 in the TIM1_CCMR1 register. This configures the channel in
input mode and the TIM1_CCR1 register becomes read-only.

2.

Program the required input filter duration for the signal to be connected to the timer.
This is done for each TIi input using the ICiF bits in the TIM1_CCMRi registers. For
example, if the input signal is unstable for up to five tSYSCLK cycles when it toggles, the
filter duration must be performed for longer than five clock cycles. The filter bits allow a
duration of eight cycles to be selected by writing them to 0011 in the TIMx_CCMR1
register. With this filter setting, a transition on TI1 is valid only when eight consecutive
samples with the new level have been detected (sampled at fSYSCLK frequency).

3.

Select the edge of the active transition on the TI1 channel by writing the CC1P bit to 0
in the TIM1_CCER1 register (rising edge in this case).

4.

Program the input prescaler. In this example, the capture needs to be performed at
each valid transition, so the prescaler is disabled (write the IC1PS bits to 00 in the
TIM1_CCMR1 register).

5.

Enable capture from the counter into the capture register by setting the CC1E bit in the
TIM1_CCER1 register.

6.

If needed, enable the related interrupt request by setting the CC1IE bit in the TIM1_IER
register and/or DMA request by setting the CC1IE bit in the TIM1_DER register.

When an input capture occurs:
•

The TIM1_CCR1 register gets the value of the counter on the active transition

•

The input capture flag (CC1IF) is set. The overcapture flag (CC1OF) is also set if at
least two consecutive captures occur while the flag remains uncleared.

•

An interrupt is generated depending on the CC1IE bit

•

A DMA request is generated depending on the CC1DE bit

To handle the overcapture event (CC1OF flag), it is recommended to read the data before
the overcapture flag. This avoids missing an overcapture which could occur after reading
the flag and before reading the data.
Note:

322/597

IC interrupts and/or DMA requests can be generated by software by setting the
corresponding CCiG bits in the TIM1_EGR register.

PWM input signal measurement
This mode is a particular case of input capture mode (see Figure 101). The procedure is the
same except:
•

Two ICi signals are mapped on the same TIi input

•

These two ICi signals are active on edges with opposite polarity

•

One of the two TIiFP signals is selected as trigger input and the clock/trigger controller
is configured in trigger reset mode.
Figure 101. PWM input signal measurement

Procedure
Depending on the fSYSCLK frequency and prescaler value, the period (in the TIM1_CCR1
register) can be measured and the duty cycle (in the TIM1_CCR2 register) of the PWM can
be applied on TI1 using the following procedure:
1.

Select the active input capture or trigger input for TIM1_CCR1 by writing the CC1S bits
to 01 in the TIM1_CCMR1 register (TI1FP1 selected).

2.

Select the active polarity for TI1FP1 (used for both capture and counter clear in
TIMx_CCR1) by writing the CC1P bit to 0 (TI1FP1 active on rising edge).

3.

Select the active input for TIM1_CCR2 by writing the CC2S bits to 10 in the
TIM1_CCMR2 register (TI1FP2 selected).

4.

Select the active polarity for TI1FP2 (used for capture in TIM1_CCR2) by writing the
CC2P bit to 1 (TI1FP2 active on falling edge).

5.

Select the valid trigger input by writing the TS bits to 101 in the TIM1_SMCR register
(TI1FP1 selected).

6.

Configure the clock/trigger controller in reset mode by writing the SMS bits to 100 in the
TIM1_SMCR register.

7.

Enable the captures by writing the CC1E and CC2E bits to 1 in the TIM1_CCER1
register.

Forced output mode
In output mode (CCiS bits = 00 in the TIM1_CCMRi registers), each output compare signal
can be forced to high or low level directly by software, independently of any comparison
between the output compare register and the counter.
To force an output compare signal to its active level, write 101 in the OCiM bits in the
corresponding TIM1_CCMRi registers. OCiREF is forced high (OCiREF is always active
high) and the OCi output is forced high or low depending on the CCiP polarity bits.
For example, if CCiP = 0 (OCi active high) => OCi is forced high.
The OCiREF signal can be forced low by writing the OCiM bits to 100 in the TIMx_CCMRx
registers.
Nevertheless, the comparison between the TIM1_CCRi shadow registers and the counter is
still performed and allows the flag to be set. Interrupt and DMA requests can be sent
accordingly. This is described in the output compare mode section below.

19.5.6

Depending on the output compare mode, the corresponding OCi output pin:

–

Is set active (OCiM = 001),

–

Is set inactive (OCiM = 010)

–

An interrupt is generated if the corresponding interrupt mask is set (CCiIE bits in the

The output compare mode is defined by the OCiM bits in the TIM1_CCMRi registers. The
active or inactive level polarity is defined by the CCiP bits in the TIM1_CCERi registers.
The TIM1_CCRi registers can be programmed with or without preload registers using the
OCiPE bits in the TIM1_CCMRi registers.
In output compare mode, the UEV has no effect on the OCiREF and OCi output. The timing
resolution is one count of the counter. Output compare mode can also be used to output a
single pulse.
Procedure
1.

Select the counter clock (internal, external, or prescaler).

2.

Write the desired data in the TIM1_ARR and TIM1_CCRi registers.

3.

Set the CCiIE bits if an interrupt request is to be generated.

4.

Set the CCiDE bit if a DMA request is to be generated.

5.

Select the output mode as follows:

6.

–

Write OCiM = 011 to toggle the OCi output pin when CNT matches CCRi

–

Write OCiPE = 0 to disable the preload register

–

Write CCiP = 0 to select active high polarity

–

Write CCiE = 1 to enable the output

Enable the counter by setting the CEN bit in the TIMx_CR1 register

The TIM1_CCRi registers can be updated at any time by software to control the output
waveform, provided that the preload registers are not enabled (OCiPE = 0). Otherwise, the
TIMx_CCRi shadow registers are updated only at the next UEV (see example in Figure 105.

16-bit advanced control timer (TIM1)

PWM mode
Pulse width modulation mode allows you to generate a signal with a frequency determined
by the value of the TIM1_ARR register and a duty cycle determined by the value of the
TIM1_CCRi registers.
The PWM mode can be selected independently on each channel (one PWM per OCi output)
by writing 110 (PWM mode 1) or 111 (PWM mode 2) in the OCiM bits in the TIM1_CCMRi
registers. The corresponding preload register must be enabled by setting the OCiPE bits in
the TIM1_CCMRi registers. The auto-reload preload register (in up-counting or centeraligned modes) may be optionally enabled by setting the ARPE bit in the TIM1_CR1
register.
As the preload registers are transferred to the shadow registers only when an UEV occurs,
all registers have to be initialized by setting the UG bit in the TIM1_EGR register before
starting the counter.
OCi polarity is software programmable using the CCiP bits in the TIM1_CCERi registers. It
can be programmed as active high or active low. The OCi output is enabled by a
combination of CCiE, MOE, OISi, OSSR and OSSI bits (TIM1_CCERi and TIM1_BKR
registers). Refer to the TIM1_CCERi register descriptions for more details.
In PWM mode (1 or 2), TIM1_CNT and TIM1_CCRi are always compared to determine
whether TIM1_CCRi ≤ TIM1_CNT or TIM1_CNT≤ TIM1_CCRi (depending on the direction
of the counter).
The timer is able to generate PWM in edge-aligned mode or center-aligned mode
depending on the CMS bits in the TIM1_CR1 register.

PWM edge-aligned mode
Up-counting configuration
Up-counting is active when the DIR bit in the TIM1_CR1 register is low.
Example
This example uses PWM mode 1. The reference PWM signal, OCiREF, is high as long as
TIM1_CNT < TIM1_CCRi. Otherwise, it becomes low. If the compare value in TIM1_CCRi is
greater than the auto-reload value (in TIM1_ARR) then OCiREF is held at 1. If the compare
value is 0, OCiREF is held at 0. Figure 106 shows some edge-aligned PWM waveforms in
an example where TIM1_ARR = 8.

Figure 106. Edge-aligned counting mode PWM mode 1 waveforms (ARR = 8)

Down-counting configuration
Down-counting is active when the DIR bit in the TIM1_CR1 register is high. Refer to Downcounting mode on page 298
In PWM mode 1, the reference signal OCiREF is low as long as TIM1_CNT> TIM1_CCRi.
Otherwise, it becomes high. If the compare value in the TIM1_CCRi registers is greater than
the auto-reload value in the TIM1_ARR register, OCiREF is held at 1. Zero percent PWM is
not possible in this mode.

PWM center-aligned mode
Center-aligned mode is active when the CMS bits in the TIM1_CR1 register are different
from 00 (all the remaining configurations have the same effect on the OCiREF/OCi signals).
The compare flag is set when the counter counts up, down, or up and down depending on
the CMS bits configuration. The direction bit (DIR) in the TIM1_CR1 register is updated by
hardware and is read-only in this mode (refer to Center-aligned mode (up/down counting) on
page 300).
Figure 107 shows some center-aligned PWM waveforms in an example where:

•

TIM1_ARR = 8,

The flag is set (arrow symbol in Figure 107) in three different cases:

When the counter counts down (CMS = 01)

–

When the counter counts up (CMS = 10)

One-pulse mode
One-pulse mode (OPM) is a particular case of the previous modes. It allows the counter to
be started in response to a stimulus and to generate a pulse with a programmable length
after a programmable delay.
Starting the counter can be controlled through the clock/trigger controller. Generating the
waveform can be done in output compare mode or PWM mode. Select one-pulse mode by
setting the OPM bit in the TIM1_CR1 register. This makes the counter stop automatically at
the next UEV.
A pulse can be correctly generated only if the compare value is different from the counter
initial value. Before starting (when the timer is waiting for the trigger), the configuration must
be:
•

In up-counting: CNT< CCRi ≤ ARR (in particular, 0 < CCRi),

•

In down-counting: CNT> CCRi
Figure 108. Example of one-pulse mode

Example
This example shows how to generate a positive pulse on OC1 with a length of tPULSE and
after a delay of tDELAY as soon as a positive edge is detected on the TI2 input pin.
Follow the procedure below to use IC2 as trigger 1:

330/597

•

Map IC2 on TI2 by writing CC2S = 01 in the TIM1_CCMR2 register

•

IC2 must detect a rising edge, so write CC2P = 0 in the TIM1_CCER1 register

•

Configure IC2 as trigger for the clock/trigger controller (TRGI) by writing TS = 110 in the
TIM1_SMCR register.

•

IC2 is used to start the counter by writing SMS to 110 in the TIM1_SMCR register
(trigger mode).

DocID15226 Rev 14

RM0031

16-bit advanced control timer (TIM1)
The OPM waveform is defined by writing the compare registers (taking into account the
clock frequency and the counter prescaler) as follows:
•

The tDELAY is defined by the value written in the TIM1_CCR1 register

•

The tPULSE is defined by the difference between the auto-reload value and the compare
value (TIM1_ARR - TIM1_CCR1).

•

To build a waveform with a transition from 0 to 1 when a compare match occurs and a
transition from 1 to 0 when the counter reaches the auto-reload value, enable PWM
mode 2 by writing OCiM = 111 in the TIM1_CCMR1 register. Alternatively, enable the
preload registers by writing OC1PE = 1 in the TIM1_CCMR1 register and ARPE = 0 in
the TIM1_CR1 register (optional). In this case, write the compare value in the
TIM1_CCR1 register and write the auto-reload value in the TIM1_ARR register. Then,
generate an update by setting the UG bit and wait for an external trigger event on TI2.
CC1P is written to 0 in this example.

In the example outlined above, the DIR and CMS bits in the TIM1_CR1 register should be
low.
As only one pulse is required, write 1 in the OPM bit in the TIM1_CR1 register to stop the
counter at the next UEV (when the counter rolls over from the auto-reload value back to 0).
Particular case: OCi fast enable
In one-pulse mode, the edge detection on the TIi input sets the CEN bit which enables the
counter. Then, a comparison between the counter and the compare value makes the output
toggle. However, several clock cycles are needed for these operations and this affects the
the minimum delay (tDELAY min) that can be obtained.
To output a waveform with the minimum delay, set the OCiFE bits in the TIM1_CCMRi
registers. OCiREF (and OCi) are forced in response to the stimulus, without taking the
comparison into account. The new level of OCiREF (and OCi) is the same as if a compare
match had occured. The OCiFE bits acts only if the channel is configured in PWM1 or
PWM2 mode.

Complementary outputs and deadtime insertion
TIM1 can output two complementary signals per channel. It also manages the switching-off
and switching-on instants of the outputs (see Figure 67: TIM1 general block diagram on
page 293).
This time is generally known as deadtime. Deadtimes must be adjusted depending on the
characteristics of the devices connected to the outputs (example, intrinsic delays of levelshifters, delays due to power switches).
The polarity of the outputs can be selected (main output OCi or complementary OCi N)
independently for each output. This is done by writing to the CCi P and CCi NP bits in the
TIM1_CCERi registers.
The complementary signals OCi and OCi N are activated by a combination of several
control bits: The CCi E and CCi NE bits in the TIM1_CCERi register and, if the break feature
is implemented, the MOE, OISi, OISi N, OSSI, and OSSR bits in the TIM1_BKR register.
Refer to Table 68: Output control for complementary OCi and OCiN channels with break
feature on page 364 for more details. In particular, the deadtime is activated when switching
to the IDLE state (when MOE falls to 0).

DocID15226 Rev 14

331/597
417

16-bit advanced control timer (TIM1)

RM0031

Deadtime insertion is enabled by setting the CCi E and CCi NE bits, and the MOE bit if the
break circuit is present. Each channel embeds an 8-bit deadtime generator. It generates two
outputs: OCi and OCi N from a reference waveform, OCi REF. If OCi and OCi N are active
high:
•

The OCi output signal is the same as the reference signal except for the rising edge,
which is delayed relative to the reference rising edge.

•

The OCi N output signal is the opposite of the reference signal except for the rising
edge, which is delayed relative to the reference falling edge.

If the delay is greater than the width of the active output (OCi or OCi N), the corresponding
pulse is not generated.
Figure 109, Figure 110, and Figure 111 show the relationships between the output signals of
the deadtime generator and the reference signal OCi REF (where CCi P = 0, CCi NP = 0,
MOE = 1, CCi E = 1, and CCi NE = 1 in these examples)
Figure 109. Complementary output with deadtime insertion

Figure 110. Deadtime waveforms with a delay greater than the negative pulse

Figure 111. Deadtime waveforms with a delay greater than the positive pulse

The deadtime delay is the same for each of the channels and is programmable with the
DTG bits in the TIM1_DTR register. Refer to Section 19.8.32: Deadtime register
(TIM1_DTR) on page 374 for delay calculation.

16-bit advanced control timer (TIM1)

Re-directing OCiREF to OCi or OCiN
In output mode (forced, output compare, or PWM), OCiREF can be re-directed to the OCi or
OCiN outputs by configuring the CCiE and CCiNE bits in the corresponding TIM1_CCERi
registers. This means bypassing the deadtime generator which allows a specific waveform
(such as PWM or static active level) to be sent on one output while the complementary
output remains at its inactive level. Alternative possibilities are to have both outputs at
inactive level or both outputs active and complementary with deadtime.
Note:

When only OCiN is enabled (CCiE = 0, CCiNE = 1), it is not complemented and becomes
active as soon as OCiREF is high. For example, if CCiNP = 0 then OCiN = OCiREF. On the
other hand, when both OCi and OCiN are enabled (CCiE = CCiNE = 1), OCi becomes active
when OCiREF is high whereas OCiN is complemented and becomes active when OCiREF
is low.

Six-step PWM generation for motor control
When complementary outputs are implemented on a channel, preload bits are available on
the OCi M, CCi E and CCi NE bits. The preload bits are transferred to the active bits at the
commutation event (COM). This allows the configuration for the next step to be
programmed in advance and for configuration of all the channels to be changed at the same
time. The COM event can be generated by software by setting the COMG bit in the
TIM1_EGR register or by hardware trigger (on the rising edge of TRGI).
A flag is set when the COM event occurs (COMIF bit in the TIM1_SR register) which can
generate an interrupt (if the COMIE bit is set in the TIM1_IER register) or a DMA request (if
the COMDE bit is set in the TIM1_DER register).
Figure 112 shows the behavior of the OCi and OCi N outputs when a COM event occurs, for
three different examples of programmed configurations.

19.5.8

Using the break function
The break function is often used in motor control. When using the break function, the output
enable signals and inactive levels are modified according to additional control bits (MOE,
OSSR and OSSI bits in the TIM1_BKR register).
When exiting from reset, the break circuit is disabled and the MOE bit is low. The break
function is enabled by setting the BKE bit in the TIM1_BKR register. The break input polarity
can be selected by configuring the BKP bit in the same register. BKE and BKP can be
modified at the same time.
Because MOE falling edge can be asynchronous, a resynchronization circuit has been
inserted between the actual signal (acting on the outputs) and the synchronous control bit
(accessed in the TIM1_BKR register). It results in some delays between the asynchronous
and the synchronous signals. For example, if MOE is written to 1 after it has been low, a
delay (dummy instruction) must be inserted before it can be read correctly.

DocID15226 Rev 14

RM0031

16-bit advanced control timer (TIM1)
When a break occurs (selected level on the break input):

Note:

•

The MOE bit is cleared asynchronously, putting the outputs in inactive state, idle state,
or reset state (selected by the OSSI bit). This happens even if the MCU oscillator is off.

•

Each output channel is driven with the level programmed in the OISi bits in the
TIM1_OISR register as soon as MOE = 0. If OSSI = 0, the timer releases the enable
output otherwise the enable output remains high.

•

When complementary outputs are implemented:
–

The outputs are first put in inactive state (depending on the polarity). This is done
asynchronously so that it works even if no clock is provided to the timer.

–

If the timer clock is still present, the deadtime generator is reactivated to drive the
outputs with the level programmed in the OISi and OISi N bits after a deadtime.
Even in this case, OCi and OCi N cannot be driven to their active level together.
Note that because of the resynchronization on MOE, the deadtime duration is a bit
longer than usual (around two 2 ck_tim clock cycles).

•

The break status flag (BIF bit in the TIM1_SR1 register) is set. An interrupt can be
generated if the BIE bit in the TIM1_IER register is set.

•

If the AOE bit in the TIM1_BKR register is set, the MOE bit is automatically set again at
the next UEV. This can be used to perform a regulation. Otherwise, MOE remains low
until it is written to 1 again. In this case, it can be used for security and the break input
can be connected to an alarm from power drivers, thermal sensors, or any security
components.

The break inputs act on signal level. Thus, the MOE bit cannot be set while the break input
is active (neither automatically nor by software). In the meantime, the status flag BIF cannot
be cleared.
The break can be generated by the break input (BKIN) which has a programmable polarity
and can be enabled or disabled by setting or resetting the BKE bit in the TIM1_BKR register.
In addition to the break inputs and the output management, a write protection has been
implemented inside the break circuit to safeguard the application. It allows the configuration
of several parameters (OCi polarities and state when disabled, OCiM configurations, break
enable, and polarity) to be frozen. Three levels of protection can be selected using the
LOCK bits in the TIM1_BKR register. The LOCK bits can be written only once after an MCU
reset.
Figure 113 shows an example of the behavior of the outputs in response to a break.

Note:

The break can also be generated by Comparator 2 through the OUTSEL[1:0] bits in the
COMP_CSR3 register. Refer to the Comparator section.

Clearing the OCiREF signal on an external event
The OCiREF signal of a given channel can be cleared when a high level is detected on
OCREFCLR internal signal (if OCiCE =1 in the TIM1_CCMRi registers, one enable bit per
channel). The OCiREF signal remains low until the next UEV occurs. This function can be
used in output compare mode and PWM mode only. It does not work in forced mode.
The source of the OCREFCLR internal signal can be selected between the OCREFCLR
input and the ETRF (ETR after the filter) by configuring the OCCS bit in the TIM1_SMCR
register
The OCiREF signal can be connected to the output of a comparator and be used for current
handling by configuring the external trigger as follows:
1.

Switch off the external trigger prescaler by setting bits ETPS[1:0] in the TIM1_ETR
register to 00.

2.

Disable external clock mode 2 by setting the ECE bit in the TIM1_ETR register to 0

3.

Configure the external trigger polarity (ETP) and the external trigger filter (ETF) as
desired.

Refer to Figure 83: External trigger input block diagram.
Figure 115 shows the behavior of the OCiREF signal when the ETRF input becomes high,

Encoder interface mode
Encoder interface mode is typically used for motor control. It can be selected by writing:
•

SMS = 001 in the TIM1_SMCR register if the counter is counting on TI2 edges only

•

SMS = 010 if the counter is counting on TI1 edges only

•

SMS = 011 if the counter is counting on both TI1 and TI2 edges

Select the TI1 and TI2 polarity by programming the CC1P and CC2P bits in the
TIM1_CCER1 register. When needed, the input filter can also be programmed.
The two inputs TI1 and TI2 are used to interface an incremental encoder (see Table 67). If
the counter is enabled (when the CEN bit in the TIM1_CR1 register is written to 1), it is
clocked by each valid transition on TI1FP1 or TI2FP2 (see Figure 100: Input stage of TIM 1
channel 1). The transition sequences of the two inputs (TI1 and TI2) are evaluated and
generate count pulses and a direction signal. Depending on the sequence, the counter
counts up or down, and the DIR bit in the TIM1_CR1 register is modified accordingly by
hardware. The DIR bit is calculated at each transition based on inputs from either TI1 or TI2.
without this being dependent on whether the counter is counting pulses on TI1, TI2 or both.
Encoder interface mode acts as an external clock with direction selection. The counter
counts continuously between 0 and the auto-reload value in the TIM1_ARR register (0 to
ARR or ARR down to 0 depending on the direction). TIM1_ARR must be configured before
starting. The capture, compare, prescaler, and trigger output features continue to work as
normal in this mode. Encoder mode and external clock mode 2 are not compatible and must
not be selected together.
In encoder interface mode, the counter is modified automatically depending on the speed
and the direction of the incremental encoder. The content of the counter therefore always
represents the encoder's position. The count direction corresponds to the rotation direction
of the connected sensor. Table 67 summarizes the possible combinations of counting
directions and encoder signals, assuming that TI1 and TI2 do not switch at the same time.

An external incremental encoder can be connected directly to the MCU without external
interface logic. However, comparators are normally used to convert the encoder’s
differential outputs to digital signals. This greatly increases noise immunity. The third
encoder output which indicates the mechanical zero position, may be connected to an
external interrupt input and trigger a counter reset.

When the timer is configured in encoder interface mode, it provides information on the
current position of the sensors. Dynamic information, such as speed, acceleration, and
slowdown, can be obtained by measuring the period between two encoder events using a
second timer configured in capture mode. The output of the encoder, which indicates the
mechanical zero, can be used for this purpose. Depending on the time between two events,
the counter can also be read at regular intervals. This can be done by latching the counter
value into a third input capture register, if one is available. In this case, the capture signal
must be periodic and can be generated by another timer.

19.5.11

Timer input XOR function
If the TI1S bit is set in the TIM1_CR2 register, the input filter of channel 1 can be connected
to the output of an XOR gate, combining the three TIM1_CH1, TIM1_CH2 and TIM1_CH3
input pins.
The XOR output can be used with all timer input functions such as trigger or input capture.
An example of this feature used to interface Hall sensors is given in the following section.

19.5.12

Interfacing with Hall sensors
This is done by using the advanced-control timer (TIM1) to generate PWM signals to drive
the motor and another TIMx timer (TIM2, TIM3 or TIM5) referred to as “interfacing timer” in
Figure 118. The “interfacing timer” captures the 3 timer input pins connected through an
XOR gate to the TI1 input channel (selected by setting the TI1S bit in the TIMx_CR2
register).
The slave mode controller is configured in reset mode; the slave input is TI1F_ED.
Consequently, each time one of the 3 inputs toggles, the counter restarts counting from 0.
This creates a time base triggered by any change on the Hall inputs.
On the “interfacing timer”, the capture/compare channel 1 is configured in capture mode and
the capture signal is TRC (See Figure 100: Input stage of TIM 1 channel 1 on page 321).
The captured value (which corresponds to the time elapsed between 2 changes on the
inputs) gives information about motor speed.
The “interfacing timer” can be used in output mode to generate a pulse which changes the
configuration of the channels of the advanced-control timer (TIM1) (by triggering a COM
event). The TIM1 timer is used to generate PWM signals to drive the motor. To do this, the
interfacing timer channel must be programmed so as to generate a positive pulse after a
programmed delay (in output compare or PWM mode). This pulse is sent to the advanced
control timer (TIM1) through the TRGO output.
Example: you want to change the PWM configuration of your TIM1 advanced-control timer
after a programmed delay each time a change occurs on the Hall inputs connected to one of
the TIMx timers. Use the following procedure:

340/597

DocID15226 Rev 14

RM0031

16-bit advanced control timer (TIM1)

•

Configure the 3 timer inputs XORed to the TI1 input channel by writing the TI1S bit to 1
in the TIMx_CR2 register,

•

Program the time base: write the TIMx_ARR to the max value (the counter must be
cleared by the TI1 change). Set the prescaler to get a maximum counter period longer
than the time between 2 changes on the sensors,

•

Program the channel 1 in capture mode (TRC selected): write the CC1S bits in the
TIMx_CCMR1 register to ‘11’. You can also program the digital filter if needed,

•

Program the channel 2 in PWM 2 mode with the desired delay: write the OC2M bits to
‘111’ and the CC2S bits to ‘00’ in the TIMx_CCMR2 register,

•

Select OC2REF as trigger output on TRGO: write the MMS bits in the TIMx_CR2
register to ‘101’.

In the TIM1 advanced-control timer, the right ITR input must be selected as trigger input, the
timer is programmed to generate PWM signals, the capture/compare control signals are
preloaded (CCPC=1 in the TIMx_CR2 register) and the COM event is controlled by the

TIM1 interrupts
TIM1 has eight interrupt request sources, mapped on 2 interrupt vectors:
•

Break interrupt

•

Trigger interrupt

•

Commutation interrupt

•

Capture/compare 4 interrupt

•

Capture/compare 3 interrupt

•

Capture/compare 2 interrupt

•

Capture/compare 1 interrupt

•

Update interrupt (example: overflow, underflow, and counter initialization)

To use the interrupt features for each interrupt channel used, set the desired interrupt
enable bits (BIE, TIE, COMIE, CCiIE, and UIE) in the TIM1_IER register to enable interrupt
requests.
The different interrupt sources can also be generated by software using the corresponding
bits in the TIM1_EGR register.

19.6.1

TIM1 wait-for-event capability
In wait-for-event mode (WFE), TIM1 capture/compare, break, trigger and update interrupts
can be used to wake up the device. The interrupt event must have been previously
configured through bits TIM1_EV0 and TIM1_EV1 in the WFE_CR1 register (see
Section 9.5: WFE registers).

19.7

TIM1 DMA
TIM1 has six DMA request sources:
•

Commutation event

•

Capture/compare 4 event

•

Capture/compare 3 event

•

Capture/compare 2 event

•

Capture/compare 1 event

•

Update event (example: overflow, underflow, counter initialization)

To use the DMA requests set the corresponding “DMA Enable” bit: COMDE, CCiDE, UDE in
the TIM1_DER register.
The different DMA requests can be also generated by software using the corresponding bits
in the TIM1_EGR register.

19.7.1

DMA single mode
The DMA controller can be configured to transfer a single byte (or two bytes) to or from a
single TIM1 register (or two TIM1 registers) by programming the register address in the
DMA_CxPARH and DMA_CxPARL registers.

19.7.2

16-bit advanced control timer (TIM1)

DMA burst mode
DMA can work in burst mode with TIM1. In this mode, the DMA can transfer a block of data
from/to a block of TIM1 registers. The maximum DMA burst length (defined in the DBL[4:0]
bits in the TIM1_DCR2 register) is 32 bytes.
To configure this mode:
1.

Write the address of the TIM1_DMAR register in the DMA_CxPARL and
DMA_CxPARH registers.

2.

In the TIM1_DCR register, write the address of the first register to be transferred and
the number of registers in the burst.

Refer to Figure 119 for a simplified example of how to configure DMA burst mode.

Bits 6:4 MMS[2:0]: Master mode selection
These bits select the information to be sent in master mode to the 2 other timers for synchronization
(TRGO). The combination is as follows:
000: Reset - The UG bit from the TIM1_EGR register is used as trigger output (TRGO). If the reset is
generated by the trigger input (clock/trigger mode controller configured in reset mode), the signal on
TRGO is delayed compared to the actual reset.
001: Enable - The counter enable signal is used as trigger output (TRGO). It is used to start several
timers to control a window in which a slave timer is enabled. The counter enable signal is generated
by a logic OR between the CEN control bit and the trigger input when configured in trigger gated
mode. When the counter enable signal is controlled by the trigger input, there is a delay on TRGO,
except if the master/slave mode is selected (see the MSM bit description in TIM1_SMCR register).
010: Update - The update event is selected as trigger output (TRGO)
011: Compare pulse (MATCH1) - The trigger output sends a positive pulse when the CC1IF flag is to
be set (even if it was already high), as soon as a capture or a compare match occurs (TRGO).
100: Compare - OC1REF signal is used as trigger output (TRGO)
101: Compare - OC2REF signal is used as trigger output (TRGO)
110: Compare - OC3REF signal is used as trigger output (TRGO)
111: Compare - OC4REF signal is used as trigger output (TRGO)
Bit 3 CCDS: Capture/compare DMA selection
0: TIM1_CCi DMA request sent when a CCi (capture/compare) event occurs
1: TIM1_CCi DMA request sent when an update event occurs
Bit 2 COMS: Capture/compare control update selection
0: When capture/compare control bits are preloaded (CCPC = 1), they are updated by setting the
COMG bit.
1: When capture/compare control bits are preloaded (CCPC = 1), they are updated by setting the
COMG bit or when an rising edge occurs on TRGI.
Note: This bit acts only on channels with complementary outputs.

111: External trigger input (ETRF)
Note: These bits must only be changed when they are not used (e.g. when SMS = 000) to avoid
incorrect edge detections at the transition.
Bit 3 OCCS: OCREFCLR selection
This bit is set and cleared by software to select the source of the internal OCREFCLR signal.
0: OCREFCLR_Internal is connected to the OCREFCLR input
1: OCREFCLR_Internal is connected to ETRF external trigger
Bits 2:0 SMS[2:0]: Clock/trigger/slave mode selection
When external signals are selected, the active edge of the trigger signal (TRGI) is linked to the
polarity selected on the external input (see input control register and control register description).
000: Clock/trigger controller disabled - If CEN = 1, the prescaler is clocked directly by the internal
clock.
001: Encoder mode 1 - Counter counts up or down on TI2FP2 edge depending on TI1FP1 level
010: Encoder mode 2 - Counter counts up or down on TI1FP1 edge depending on TI2FP2 level
011: Encoder mode 3 - Counter counts up or down on both TI1FP1 and TI2FP2 edges depending on
the level of the other input.
100: Reset mode - Rising edge of the selected trigger signal (TRGI) re-initializes the counter and
generates an update of the registers.
101: Trigger gated mode - The counter clock is enabled when the trigger signal (TRGI) is high. The
counter stops (but is not reset) as soon as the trigger becomes low. Both start and stop of the
counter are controlled.
110: Trigger standard mode - The counter starts at a rising edge of the trigger TRGI (but, it is not
reset). Only the start of the counter is controlled.
111: External clock mode 1 - Rising edges of the selected trigger (TRGI) clock the counter
Note: Trigger gated mode must not be used if TI1F_ED is selected as the trigger input (TS = 100).
TI1F_ED outputs 1 pulse for each transition on TI1F, whereas trigger gated mode checks the
level of the trigger signal.

Bit 6 ECE: External clock enable
This bit enables external clock mode 2.
0: External clock mode 2 disabled
1: External clock mode 2 enabled. The counter is clocked by any active edge on the ETRF signal.
Note: Setting the ECE bit has the same effect as selecting external clock mode 1 with TRGI
connected to ETRF (SMS = 111 and TS = 111 in the TIM1_SMCR register).
It is possible to simultaneously use external clock mode 2 with the following modes: Trigger
standard mode, trigger reset mode, and trigger gated mode. Nevertheless, TRGI must not be
connected to ETRF in these cases (TS bits must not be 111 in the TIM1_SMCR register).
If external clock mode 1 and external clock mode 2 are enabled at the same time, the external
clock input is ETRF.
Bits 5:4 ETPS: External trigger prescaler
The ETRP frequency must be, at most,1/4 of fSYSCLK frequency. A prescaler can be enabled to
reduce ETRP frequency. It is useful when inputting fast external clocks.
00: Prescaler off
01: ETRP frequency divided by 2

(in the TIM1_CR1 register).
1.

The DMA request is related to the actual event and not to the status bit (in the TIM1_SR1 register). Thus, no DMA request
is sent if the xxDE bit is written to 1 while the corresponding status bit is already set.

register have a different function in input and output mode. For a given bit, OCii describes its
function when the channel is configured in output, ICii describes its function when the
channel is configured in input. Therefore, be aware that the same bit can have a different
meaning for the input and output stage.

Bit 7 OC1CE: Output compare 1 clear enable
This bit is used to enable the clearing of the channel 1 output compare signal (OC1REF) by the
OCREFCLR internal signal (see Section 19.5.9 on page 337).
0: OC1REF is not affected by the OCREFCLR internal signal
1: OC1REF is cleared as soon as a high level is detected on the OCREFCLR internal signal
Bits 6:4 OC1M: Output compare 1 mode
These bits define the behavior of the output reference signal, OC1REF, from which OC1 is derived.
OC1REF is active high whereas OC1 active level depends on the CC1P bit.
000: Frozen - The comparison between the output compare register TIM1_CCR1 and the counter
register TIM1_CNT has no effect on the outputs.
001: Set channel 1 to active level on match - OC1REF signal is forced high when the counter
register TIM1_CNT matches the capture/compare register 1 (TIM1_CCR1).
010: Set channel 1 to inactive level on match - OC1REF signal is forced low when the counter
register TIM1_CNT matches the capture/compare register 1 (TIM1_CCR1).
011: Toggle - OC1REF toggles when TIM1_CNT = TIM1_CCR1
100: Force inactive level - OC1REF is forced low
101: Force active level - OC1REF is forced high
110: PWM mode 1 - In up-counting, channel 1 is active as long as TIM1_CNT < TIM1_CCR1,
otherwise, the channel is inactive. In down-counting, channel 1 is inactive (OC1REF = 0) as long as
TIM1_CNT > TIM1_CCR1, otherwise, the channel is active (OC1REF = 1).
111: PWM mode 2 - In up-counting, channel 1 is inactive as long as TIM1_CNT < TIM1_CCR1,
otherwise, the channel is active. In down-counting, channel 1 is active as long as TIM1_CNT >
TIM1_CCR1, otherwise, the channel is inactive.
Note: These bits can no longer be modified while LOCK level 3 has been programmed (LOCK bits in
TIM1_BKR register) and CC1S = 00 (the channel is configured in output).
In PWM mode 1 or 2, the OCiREF level changes only when the result of the comparison
changes or when the output compare mode switches from “frozen” mode to “PWM” mode (refer
to PWM mode on page 327 for more details).
On channels that have a complementary output, this bitfield is preloaded. If the CCPC bit is set
in the TIM1_CR2 register, the OCM active bits take the new value from the preload bits only
when a COM is generated.

Bit 3 OC1PE: Output compare 1 preload enable
0: Preload register on TIM1_CCR1 disabled. TIM1_CCR1 can be written at anytime. The new value
is taken into account immediately.
1: Preload register on TIM1_CCR1 enabled. Read/write operations access the preload register.
TIM1_CCR1 preload value is loaded in the shadow register at each UEV.
Note: These bits can no longer be modified while LOCK level 3 has been programmed (LOCK bits in
TIM1_BKR register) and CC1S = 00 (the channel is configured in output).
For correct operation, preload registers must be enabled when the timer is in PWM mode. This
is not mandatory in one-pulse mode (OPM bit set in TIM1_CR1 register).
Bit 2 OC1FE: Output compare 1 fast enable
This bit is used to accelerate the effect of an event on the trigger in input on the CC output.
0: CC1 behaves normally depending on the counter and CCR1 values, even when the trigger is on.
The minimum delay to activate CC1 output when an edge occurs on the trigger input, is 5 clock
cycles.
1: An active edge on the trigger input acts like a compare match on the CC1 output. If this happens,
OC is set to the compare level irrespective of the result of the comparison. The delay to sample the
trigger input and to activate CC1 output is reduced to 3 clock cycles. OCFE acts only if the channel
is configured in PWM1 or PWM2 mode.
Bits 1:0 CC1S[1:0]: Capture/compare 1 selection
This bitfield defines the direction of the channel (input/output) as well as the used input.
00: CC1 channel is configured as output
01: CC1 channel is configured as input, IC1 is mapped on TI1FP1
10: CC1 channel is configured as input, IC1 is mapped on TI2FP1
11: CC1 channel is configured as input, IC1 is mapped on TRC. This mode works only if an internal
trigger input is selected through the TS bit (TIM1_SMCR register).
Note: CC1S bits are writable only when the channel is off (CC1E = 0 in TIM1_CCER1).

Bits 7:4 IC1F[3:0]: Input capture 1 filter
This bitfield defines fSAMPLING, the frequency used to sample TI1 input and the length of the digital

validate a transition on the output:
0000: No filter, fSAMPLING= fSYSCLK

1110: fSAMPLING=fSYSCLK/32, N = 6
1111: fSAMPLING=fSYSCLK/32, N = 8
Note: Even on channels that have a complementary output, this bit field is not preloaded and does
not take into account the content of the CCPC bit (in the TIM1_CR2 register).
Bits 3:2 IC1PSC[1:0]: Input capture 1 prescaler
This bitfield defines the ratio of the prescaler acting on CC1 input (IC1). The prescaler is reset as
soon as CC1E = 0 (TIM1_CCER register).
00: No prescaler, capture is made each time an edge is detected on the capture input
01: Capture is made once every 2 events
10: Capture is made once every 4 events
11: Capture is made once every 8 events
Bits 1:0 CC1S[1:0]: Capture/compare 1 selection
This bitfield defines the direction of the channel (input/output) and the used input.
00: CC1 channel is configured as output
01: CC1 channel is configured as input, IC1 is mapped on TI1FP1
10: CC1 channel is configured as input, IC1 is mapped on TI2FP1
11: CC1 channel is configured as input, IC1 is mapped on TRC. This mode works only if an internal
trigger input is selected through the TS bit (TIM1_SMCR register).
Note: CC1S bits are writable only when the channel is OFF (CC1E = 0 in TIM1_CCER1).

Bits 7:0 REP[7:0]: Repetition counter value.
When the preload registers are enabled, these bits allow the user to set up the update rate of the
compare registers (periodic transfers from preload to shadow registers) as well as the update
interrupt generation rate if the update interrupt is enabled (UIE=1).
Each time the REP_CNT related down-counter reaches zero, a UEV is generated and it restarts
counting from the REP value. As REP_CNT is reloaded with the REP value only at the repetition
update event U_RC, any write to the TIM1_RCR register is not taken into account until the next
repetition update event.
In PWM mode (REP+1) corresponds to:
–
The number of PWM periods in edge-aligned mode
–
The number of half PWM periods in center-aligned mode

Bit 7 MOE: Main output enable
This bit is cleared asynchronously by hardware as soon as the break input is active. It is set by
software or automatically depending on the AOE bit. It acts only on the channels which are
configured in output.
0: OC and OCN outputs are disabled or forced to idle state
1: OC and OCN outputs are enabled if their respective enable bits are set (CCiE in TIM1_CCERi
registers).
See OC/OCN enable description for more details (Section 19.8.14 on page 362).
Bit 6 AOE: Automatic output enable
0: MOE can be set only by software
1: MOE can be set by software or automatically at the next UEV (if the break input is not active)
Note: This bit can no longer be modified while LOCK level 1 has been programmed (LOCK bits in the
TIM1_BKR register).
Bit 5 BKP: Break polarity
0: Break input BKIN is active low
1: Break input BKIN is active high
Note: This bit can no longer be modified while LOCK level 1 has been programmed (LOCK bits in the
TIM1_BKR register).
Bit 4 BKE: Break enable
0: Break input (BKIN) disabled
1: Break input (BKIN) enabled
Note: This bit can no longer be modified while LOCK level 1 has been programmed (LOCK bits in the

Bit 3 OSSR: Off state selection for Run mode
This bit is used when MOE = 1 on channels with a complementary output which are configured as
outputs. See OC/OCN enable description for more details (Section 19.8.14).
0: When inactive, OC/OCN outputs are disabled (OC/OCN enable output signal = 0)
1: When inactive, OC/OCN outputs are enabled with their inactive level as soon as CCiE = 1 or
CCiNE = 1, after which the OC/OCN enable output signal = 1
Note: This bit can no longer be modified while LOCK level 2 has been programmed (LOCK bits in
TIM1_BKR register).
Bit 2 OSSI: Off state selection for idle mode
This bit is used when MOE = 0 on channels configured as outputs. See OC enable description for
more details (Section 19.8.14).
0: When inactive, OCi outputs are disabled (OCi enable output signal = 0)
1: When inactive, OCi outputs are forced first with their idle level as soon as CCiE = 1 (OC enable
output signal = 1)
Note: This bit can no longer be modified while LOCK level 2 has been programmed (LOCK bits in the
TIM1_BKR register).
Bits 1:0 LOCK[1:0]: Lock configuration
These bits offer a write protection against software errors.
00: LOCK off - No bits are write protected
01: LOCK level 1 - OISi bit in TIM1_OISR register and BKE/BKP/AOE bits in TIM1_BKR register can
no longer be written.
10: LOCK level 2 - LOCK level 1 + CC polarity bits (CCiP bits in TIM1_CCERi registers, as long as
the related channel is configured in output through the CCiS bits) as well as the OSSR and OSSI
bits can no longer be written.
11: LOCK Level 3 - LOCK level 2 + CC control bits (OCiM and OCiPE bits in TIM1_CCMRi registers,
as long as the related channel is configured in output through the CCiS bits) can no longer be
written.
Note: The LOCK bits can be written only once after reset. Once the TIM1_BKR register has been
written, their content is frozen until the next reset.

Note:

As the bits AOE, BKP, BKE, OSSR, and OSSI can be write-locked depending on the LOCK
configuration, it is necessary to configure all of them during the first write access to the
TIM1_BKR register.

Bits 7:0 DTG[7:0]: Deadtime generator set-up
This bitfield defines the duration of the deadtime inserted between the complementary outputs. DT
corresponds to this duration. tCK_PSC is the TIM clock pulse.
DTG[7:5] = 0xx => DT= DTG[7:0] x tdtg with tdtg = tCK_PSC (f1)
DTG[7:5] = 10x => DT= (64 + DTG[5:0]) x tdtg with tdtg= 2 x tCK_PSC (f2)
DTG[7:5] = 110 => DT = (32 + DTG[4:0]) x tdtg with tdtg= 8 x tCK_PSC (f3)
DTG[7:5] = 111 => DT = (32 + DTG[4:0]) x tdtg with tdtg = 16 x tCK_PSC (f4)
Example
If tCK_PSC= 125 ns (8 MHz), deadtime possible values are:
DTG[7:0] = 0 x 0 to 0 x 7F from 0 to 15875 ns in 125 ns steps (refer to f1)
DTG[7:0] = 0 x 80 to 0 x BF from 16 µs to 31750 ns in 250 ns steps (refer to f2)
DTG[7:0] = 0 x C0 to 0 x DF from 32 µs to 63 µs in 1µs steps (refer to f3)
DTG[7:0] = 0 x E0 to 0 x FF from 64 µs to 126 µs in 2 µs steps (refer to f4)
Note: This bitfield can not be modified while LOCK level 1, 2, or 3 have been programmed (LOCK bits

16-bit general purpose timers (TIM2, TIM3, TIM5)

20.1

TIM2, TIM3 and TIM5 introduction

RM0031

This chapter describes TIM2, TIM3 and TIM5which are identical timers.
Each timer consists of a 16-bit up-down auto-reload counter driven by a programmable
prescaler.
It may be used for a variety of purposes, including:
•

Time base generation

•

Measuring the pulse lengths of input signals (input capture)

•

Generating output waveforms (output compare, PWM and One-pulse mode)

•

Interrupt capability on various events (capture, compare, overflow)

•

Synchronization with other timers or external signals (external clock, reset, trigger and
enable)

The timer clock can be sourced from internal clocks or from an external source selectable
through a configuration register.
Only the main features of the general purpose timers are given in this chapter. Refer to the
corresponding paragraphs of Section 19: 16-bit advanced control timer (TIM1) on page 291
for more details on each feature.

20.2

TIMx main features
General purpose TIMx TIM2/TIM3 features include:

380/597

•

16-bit up, down, up/downauto-reload counter.

•

3-bit programmable prescaler allowing the counter clock frequency to be divided “on
the fly” by any power of 2 from 1 to 128.

•

2 independent channels for:
–

Input capture

–

Output compare

–

PWM generation (edge-aligned mode)

–

One-pulse mode output

•

Break input to put the timer output signals in reset state or in a known state.

•

Input capture 2 can be routed from COMP2 comparator

•

Interrupt/ DMA request generation on the following events:
–

Update: counter overflow, counter initialization (by software)

–

Input capture

–

Output compare

–

Break input

–

Trigger event (counter start, stop, initialization or count by internal/external trigger)

20.3.1

Time base unit
The timer has a time base unit that includes:
•

16-bit up-down counter

•

16-bit auto-reload register

•

3-bit programmable prescaler

There is no repetition counter.
The clock source for is the internal clock (fSYSCLK). It is connected directly to the CK_PSC
clock that feeds the prescaler driving the counter clock CK_CNT.

Figure 121. Time base unit

For more details refer to Section 19.3: TIM1 time base unit on page 294.

Prescaler
The prescaler implementation is as follows:
•

The prescaler is based on a 7-bit counter controlled through a 3-bit register (in
TIMx_PSCR register). It can be changed on the fly as this control register is buffered. It
can divide the counter clock frequency by 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 or 128.
The counter clock frequency is calculated as follows:
fCK_CNT = fCK_PSC/2(PSCR[2:0])

Counter operation
Refer to Section 19.3.4: Up-counting mode on page 296, Section 19.3.5: Down-counting
mode on page 298 and Section 19.3.6: Center-aligned mode (up/down counting) on
page 300.

Break
When using the break function, the output enable sig nals and inactive levels are modified
according to additional control bits (MOE and OSSI bits in the TIMx_BKR register).
When exiting from reset, the break circuit is disabled and the MOE bit is low. You can enable
the break function by setting the BKE bit in the TIMx_BKR register. The break input polarity
can be selected by configuring the BKP bit in the same register. BKE and BKP can be
modified at the same time.
For more details, refer to “Using the break function on page 334. See also Table 71: Output
control bit for OCi channels with break feature (break feature implemented, complementary
output not implemented) on page 406.

20.3.4

16-bit general purpose timers (TIM2, TIM3, TIM5)

Timer input XOR function
The TI1S bit in the TIMx_CR2 register allows the input filter of channel 1 to be connected to
the output of an XOR gate, combining the three input pins TIMx_CH1, TIMx_CH2 and
TIMx_BKIN.
The XOR output can be used with all the timer input functions such as trigger or input
capture.
An example of this feature used to interface Hall sensors is given in Section 19.5.12:
Interfacing with Hall sensors on page 340.

20.4

TIMx interrupts
The timers have 5 interrupt request sources:
•

Capture/compare 2 interrupt

•

Capture/compare 1 interrupt

•

Update interrupt

•

Break input

•

Trigger interrupt

To use the interrupt features, for each interrupt channel used, set the desired CC2IE and/or
CC1IE bits in the TIMx_IER register to enable interrupt requests.
The different interrupt sources can be also generated by software using the corresponding
bits in the TIMx_EGR register.

Bits 6:4 MMS[2:0]: Master mode selection
These bits select the information to be sent in master mode to the slave timers for synchronization
(TRGO). The combination is as follows:
000: Reset - the UG bit from the TIMx_EGR register is used as a trigger output (TRGO). If the reset
is generated by the trigger input (clock/trigger mode controller configured in trigger reset mode), the
signal on TRGO is delayed compared to the actual reset.
001: Enable - the counter enable signal is used as a trigger output (TRGO). It is used to start several
timers at the same time or to control a window in which a slave timer is enabled. The counter enable
signal is generated by a logic OR between the CEN control bit and the trigger input when configured
in gated mode. When the counter enable signal is controlled by the trigger input, there is a delay on
TRGO, except if the master/slave mode is selected (see the MSM bit description in TIMx_SMCR
register).

001, 010 and 011: Reserved
100: Trigger reset mode - Rising edge of the selected trigger signal (TRGI) reinitializes the counter
and generates an update of the registers.
101: Gated mode - The counter clock is enabled when the trigger signal (TRGI) is high. The counter
stops (but is not reset) as soon as the trigger becomes low. Both the start and stop of the counter are
controlled.
110: Trigger mode - The counter starts at a rising edge of the trigger TRGI (but it is not reset). Only
the start of the counter is controlled.

This bit selects whether ETR or ETR is used for trigger operations.

Bit 6 ECE: External clock enable
This bit enables external clock mode 2.
0: External clock mode 2 disabled
1: External clock mode 2 enabled. The counter is clocked by any active edge on the ETRF signal.
Note: Setting the ECE bit has the same effect as selecting the external clock mode 1 with TRGI
connected to ETRF (SMS = 111 and TS = 111 in the TIM1_SMCR register).
It is possible to use the external clock mode 2 simultaneously with the following modes: Trigger
standard mode, trigger reset mode and trigger gated mode. Nevertheless, TRGI must not be
connected to ETRF in this case (TS bits must not be 111 in TIMx_SMCR register).
If external clock mode 1 and external clock mode 2 are enabled at the same time, the external
clock input will be ETRF.
Bits 5:4 ETPS[1:0]: External trigger prescaler
External trigger signal ETRP frequency must be at 1/4 of fSYSCLK frequency. A prescaler can be
enabled to reduce ETRP frequency. It is useful when inputting fast external clocks.

Capture/compare mode register 1 (TIMx_CCMR1)
The channel can be used in input (capture mode) or in output (compare mode). The
direction of the channel is defined by configuring the CC1S bits. All the other bits of this
register have a different function in input and in output mode. For a given bit, OCi describes
its function when the channel is configured in output and ICi describes its function when the
channel is configured in input. Therefore, be aware that the same bit can have a different
meaning for the input stage and for the output stage.

Bits 6:4 OC1M[2:0]: Output compare 1 mode
These bits defines the behavior of the output reference signal OC1REF from which OC1 is derived.
OC1REF is active high whereas OC1 active level depends on the CC1P bit.
000: Frozen - The comparison between the output compare register TIMx_CCR1 and the counter
TIMx_CNT has no effect on the outputs
001: Set channel 1 to active level on match. OC1REF signal is forced high when the counter
TIMx_CNT matches the capture/compare register 1 (TIMx_CCR1).
010: Set channel 1 to inactive level on match. OC1REF signal is forced low when the counter
TIMx_CNT matches the capture/compare register 1 (TIMx_CCR1).
011: Toggle - OC1REF toggles when TIMx_CNT=TIMx_CCR1
100: Force inactive level - OC1REF is forced low
101: Force active level - OC1REF is forced high
110: PWM mode 1 - In up-counting, channel 1 is active as long as TIMx_CNT< TIMx_CCR1.
Otherwise, channel 1 is inactive. In down-counting, channel 1 is inactive (OC1REF = 0) as long as
TIMx_CNT> TIMx_CCR1. Otherwise, channel 1 is active (OC1REF = 1).
111: PWM mode 2 - In up-counting, channel 1 is inactive as long as TIMx_CNT< TIMx_CCR1.
Otherwise, channel 1 is active.
Note: In PWM mode 1 or 2, the OCiREF level changes only when the result of the comparison
changes or when the output compare mode switches from “frozen” mode to “PWM” mode.

Bit 3 OC1PE: Output compare 1 preload enable
0: Preload register on TIMx_CCR1 disabled. TIMx_CCR1 can be written at anytime. The new value
is taken into account immediately.
1: Preload register on TIMx_CCR1 enabled. Read/write operations access the preload register.
TIMx_CCR1 preload value is loaded in the shadow register at each update event.
Note: For correct operation, preload registers must be enabled when the timer is in PWM mode. This
is not mandatory in one-pulse mode (OPM bit set in TIMx_CR1 register).
Bit 2 OC1FE: Output compare 1 fast enable
This bit is used to accelerate the effect of an event on the trigger in input on the CC output.
0: CC1 behaves normally depending on counter and CCR1 values even when the trigger is on. The
minimum delay to activate CC1 output when an edge occurs on the trigger input, is 5 clock cycles.
1: An active edge on the trigger input acts like a compare match on CC1 output. Then, OC is set to
the compare level independently from the result of the comparison. The delay to sample the trigger
input and to activate CC1 output is reduced to 3 clock cycles. OCFE acts only if the channel is
configured in PWM1 or PWM2 mode.
Bits 1:0 CC1S[1:0]: Capture/compare 1 selection
This bitfield defines the direction of the channel (input/output) as well as the used input.
00: CC1 channel is configured as output
01: CC1 channel is configured as input, IC1 is mapped on TI1FP1
10: CC1 channel is configured as input, IC1 is mapped on TI2FP1
11: CC1 channel is configured as input, IC1 is mapped on TRC. This mode works only if an internal
trigger input is selected through the TS bit (TIM5_SMCR register).
Note: CC1S bits are writable only when the channel is off (CC1E = 0 and is updated in
TIMx_CCER1).

Bits 3:2 IC1PSC[1:0]: Input capture 1 prescaler
This bitfield defines the ratio of the prescaler acting on CC1 input (IC1). The prescaler is reset as
soon as CC1E = 0 (TIMx_CCER register).
00: no prescaler, capture is done each time an edge is detected on the capture input
01: Capture is done once every 2 events
10: Capture is done once every 4 events
11: Capture is done once every 8 events
Note: The internal event counter is not reset when IC1PSC is changed on the fly. In this case the old
value is used until the next capture occurs. To force a new value to be taken in account
immediately, the CC1E bit can be cleared and set again.

8-bit basic timer (TIM4)

21.1

TIM4 introduction
The timer consists of an 8-bit auto-reload up-counter driven by a programmable prescaler. It
can be used for time base generation, with interrupt generation on timer overflow.
Refer to Section 19.3 on page 294 for the general description of the timer features.

•

4-bit programmable prescaler which allows dividing (also “on the fly”) the counter clock
frequency by any power of 2 from 1 to 32768.

•

Interrupt generation

•

–

On counter update: Counter overflow

–

On trigger input

DMA request generation
–

21.3

On counter update: Counter overflow

TIM4interrupts
The timer has 2 interrupt request sources:
•

Update interrupt (overflow, counter initialization)

•

Trigger input

TIM4 clock selection
The clock source for the timer is the internal clock (fSYSCLK). It is connected directly to the
CK_PSC clock that feeds the prescaler driving the counter clock CK_CNT.

Prescaler
The prescaler implementation is as follows:
•

The TIM4 prescaler is based on a 16-bit counter controlled through a 4-bit register (in
TIM4_PSCR register). It can be changed on the fly as this control register is buffered. It
can divide the counter clock frequency by any power of 2 from 1 to 32768.
The counter clock frequency is calculated as follows:
fCK_CNT = fCK_PSC/2(PSCR[3:0])

The prescaler value is loaded through a preload register. The shadow register, which
contains the current value to be used, is loaded as soon as the LS byte has been written.
Read operations to the TIM_PSCR registers access the preload registers, so no special
care needs to be taken to read them.

Bits 6:4 MMS[2:0]: Master mode selection
These bits are used to select the information to be sent in master mode to slave timers for
synchronization (TRGO). The combination is as follows:
000: Reset - the UG bit from the TIM4_EGR register is used as a trigger output (TRGO). If the reset
is generated by the trigger input (clock/trigger mode controller configured in trigger reset mode), the
signal on the TRGO is delayed compared to the actual reset.
001: Enable - the counter enable signal is used as a trigger output (TRGO). It is used to start several
timers at the same time or to control a window in which a slave timer is enabled. The counter enable
signal is generated by a logic OR between the CEN control bit and the trigger input when configured
in gated mode. When the counter enable signal is controlled by the trigger input, there is a delay on
TRGO, except if the master/slave mode is selected (see the MSM bit description in the TIM4_SMCR
register).

equal to fCK_PSC / 2(PSC[3:0]).
PSC contains the value which is loaded into the active prescaler register at each UEV (including
when the counter is cleared through the UG bit of TIM4_EGR).
Consequently, a UEV must be generated so that a new prescaler value can be taken into account.

Infrared (IRTIM) interface
This section applies to low-density STM8L05xx/STM8L15xx devices, medium-density
STM8L05xx/STM8L15xx devices, medium+ density STM8L05xx/STM8L15xx devices and
high-density STM8L05xx/STM8L15xx/STM8L16xx devices, unless otherwise specified.

22.1

IRTIM introduction
An infrared interface (IRTIM) can be used with an IR LED to perform remote control
functions.
To generate the infrared remote control signals, the IR interface must be enabled and TIM2
channel 1 (TIM2_OC1) and TIM3 channel 1 (TIM3_OC1) must be properly configured to
generate correct waveforms.
Figure 127. IR internal hardware connections with TIM2 and TIM3

22.2

Main features
All standard IR pulse modulation modes can be obtained by programming the two timer
output compare channels.
TIM 2 is used to generate the high frequency carrier signal, while TIM3 generates the
modulation envelope.
The infrared function is output on the IR_TIM pin. The activation of this function is done
through the IR_CR register. When the IR function is enabled by setting the IR_EN bit, the
standard TIM2_CC1 and TIM3_CC1 become automatically inactive (these pins may be
used as general purpose I/O pins or for other alternate functions).
The high sink LED driver capability (only available on the IR_TIM pin) can be activated
through the HS_EN bit in the IR_CR register and used to sink the high current needed to
directly control an infrared LED. When the pin is driving the LED in this mode, the other pin
input/output levels cannot be guaranteed. It is therefore recommended to program all other
device I/Os in input mode without interrupt before sending any infrared signal. The previous
function can be restored immediately after the infrared communication is completed.
When the high sink capability of the pin is not used (or the current is limited to the standard
I/O capabilities) all other pins of the device can be used normally.

BEEP introduction
This Beeper module is used to generate a BEEP signal in the range of 1, 2 or 4 kHz. The
Beeper clock is derived from the LSE or LSI clock. The clock is selected by programming
the CLKBEEPSEL[1:0] bits in the Clock BEEP register (CLK_CBEEPR).

BEEP functional description

23.2.1

Beeper operation
To use the BEEP function, perform the following steps in order:
1.

Calibrate the LSI clock frequency as described in Section 23.2.2: Beeper calibration to
define BEEPDIV[4:0] value.

2.

Select 1 kHz, 2 kHz or 4 kHz output frequency by writing to the BEEPSEL[1:0] bits in
the BEEP control/status register 2 (BEEP_CSR2).

3.

Set the BEEPEN bit in the BEEP control/status register 2 (BEEP_CSR2) to enable the
LS clock source.

Note:

The prescaler counter starts to count only if BEEPDIV[4:0] value is different from its reset
value, 0x1F.

23.2.2

Beeper calibration
This procedure can be used to calibrate the LS clock sources in order to reach the standard
frequency output, 1 kHz, 2 kHz or 4 kHz.
Use the following procedure:

Note:

1.

Disable the BEEP clock by resetting the CLKBEEPSEL bit in the CLK_CBEEPR
register.

2.

Measure the LSI clock frequency (refer to Section 23.2.3: LSI clock frequency
measurement )

This step is performed when the beeper is clocked by the LSI clock source.
3.

Calculate the BEEPDIV value as follows, where A and x are the integer and fractional
part of BEEPCLK/8 (in kHz):
BEEPDIV = A-2 when x is less than or equal to A/(1+2*A), else
BEEPDIV = A-1

4.

23.2.3

Write the resulting BEEPDIV value in the BEEPDIV[4:0] bits in the BEEP control/status
register 2 (BEEP_CSR2).

LSI clock frequency measurement
The frequency dispersion of the Low Speed Internal RC (LSI) oscillator after RC factory
trimming is 38 kHz on the whole temperature range. To obtain a precise beeper output, the
exact LSI frequency has to be measured.
Use the following procedure:
1.

Set the MSR bit in the BEEP control/status register 1 (BEEP_CSR1) to connect the LSI
clock internally to ICAP1 of the TIM2 timer.

2.

Measure the frequency of LSI clock using the Timer input capture interrupt.

Real-time clock (RTC)
This section applies to low-density STM8L05xx/STM8L15xx devices, medium-density
STM8L05xx/STM8L15xx devices, medium+ density STM8L05xx/STM8L15xx devices and
high-density STM8L05xx/STM8L15xx/STM8L16xx devices, unless otherwise specified.

24.1

RTC introduction
The real-time clock (RTC) is an independent BCD timer/counter. It provides a time-of-day
clock and calendar with an associated programmable alarm. The RTC also includes an auto
wakeup unit useful for managing low-power modes.
8-bit registers contain seconds, minutes, hours (12 or 24 hour format), day (day of the
week), date (day of the month), month, and year, coded in binary coded decimal format
(BCD). The sub-seconds value is also available in binary format on low, medium+ and highdensity devices only. The adjustment for 28-, 29- (leap year), 30-, and 31-day months is
performed automatically.
Additional 8-bit registers contain the programmable alarm subseconds (low, medium+ and
high-density devices only), seconds, minutes, hours, day, and date.
Low, medium+ and high-density devices also allow to calibrate the RTC with a resolution of
0.954 ppm.
After reset, the RTC registers are protected against possible parasitic write accesses.
As long as the supply voltage is maintained in the operating range, the RTC never stops,
regardless of the MCU status (Run mode, low power mode or under reset).

Real-time clock (RTC)

24.3.1

RM0031

Clock and prescalers
The RTC clock source (RTCCLK) used for timer/counter is selected through the clock
controller. It can be either the HSE, LSE, HSI or LSI clock. For more information about the
RTC clock source configuration, please refer to Section 9.9: RTC and LCD clock.
A clock security system on LSE is implemented on low, medium+ and high-density devices
to monitor the low speed external clock when it is used as the RTC clock source. For more
details about how to use the CSS on LSE feature, please refer to Section 9.8.2: Clock
security system on LSE.
In order to access the RTC registers properly, the system clock frequency (fSYSCLK) must be
equal to or greater than four times the fRTCCLK RTC clock frequency. This ensures a secure
behavior of the synchronization mechanism.
When the system clock (SYSCLK) is equal to a low speed clock (like LSE or LSI), the user
must use exactly the same clock as RTCCLK and must set the RATIO bit in the RTC_CR1
register to disable the synchronization mechanism. In these conditions, the RSF
synchronization flag is meaningless.
A programmable prescaler stage generates a 1 Hz clock used to update the calendar. This
prescaler stage is split into 2 programmable prescalers (Figure 130 and Figure 131):

Note:

•

A 7-bit asynchronous prescaler configured through PREDIV_A bits of the RTC_APRER
register

•

A synchronous prescaler configured through PREDIV_S bits of the RTC_SPRERx
registers. The prescaler features 13 bits for medium-density devices, and 15 bits for
low, medium+ and high-density devices.

This division into two blocks (the asynchronous prescaler and the synchronous prescaler)
has been defined to reach the lowest possible consumption.
It is recommended to keep a high value in the asynchronous prescaler when both
prescalers are used to ensure the best consumption level.
The asynchronous prescaler division factor is consequently set by default to 128, and the
synchronous division factor to 256, to get an internal clock frequency of 1 Hz (ck_spre) with
an LSE frequency of 32768 Hz.
The minimum division factor is 2 on medium-density devices and 1 on low, medium+ and
high-density devices. The maximum division factor is 220 on medium-density devices and
222 on low, medium+ and high-density devices. This corresponds to a maximum input
frequency of around 1 MHz and 4 MHz respectively.
f RTCCLK
f CK_SPRE = --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------( PREDIV_S + 1 ) ( PREDIV_A + 1 )

The 1 Hz internal clock (ck_spre) is input to the calendar.
The ck_spre clock can also be used as a time base for the 16-bit wakeup auto-reload timer.
Note:

426/597

The 16-bit wakeup auto-reload timer can also run with the RTCCLK divided by the
programmable 4-bit asynchronous prescaler so as to reach short time-out periods. See
Section 24.3.4: Periodic auto-wakeup for details.

24.3.2

Real-time clock and calendar
The RTC calendar time and date registers are accessed through shadow registers
synchronized with SYSCLK (system clock). In low, medium+ and high-density devices, they
can also be accessed directly in order to avoid waiting for the synchronization duration.
•

RTC_SSRx (subseconds) (available on low, medium+ and high-density devices only)

•

RTC_TR1 (seconds)

•

RTC_TR2 (minutes)

•

RTC_TR3 (hours)

•

RTC_DR1 (date)

•

RTC_DR2 (day and month)

•

RTC_DR3 (year)

The current calendar value is periodically copied into these shadow registers which are
reset by system reset. The copy periodicity is the RTCCLK period. The RSF bit is set in the
RTC_ISR register each time the copy is performed.
Note:

The copy is not performed during Active-halt mode. When exiting Active-halt mode, the
shadow registers are updated after up to one RTCCLK period.
When the user makes a read access to the calendar registers, he reads the content of the
shadow registers. In low, medium+ and high-density devices, it is possible to make a direct
access to the calendar registers by setting the BYPSHAD control bit in the RTC_CR1
register. By default, this bit is cleared, and the user accesses the shadow registers.

428/597

DocID15226 Rev 14

RM0031

24.3.3

Real-time clock (RTC)

Programmable alarm
The RTC provides a programmable alarm (alarm A). The programmable alarm function is
enabled through the ALRAE bit in the RTC_CR2 register.
The ALRAF flag is set to 1 if the calendar subseconds ( low, medium+ and high-density
devices only), seconds, minutes, hours and/or date match the value programmed in the
RTC_ALRMASSRx and RTC_ALRMARx alarm registers. The subseconds, seconds,
minutes, hours and/or date can be independently selected or masked through the ALSSx
and MSKx bits of the RTC_ALRMASSRx and RTC_ALRMARx registers.
The alarm interrupt is enabled through the ALRAIE bit in the RTC_CR2 register. When
enabled, the programmable alarm interrupt exits the device from Low power modes.
The alarm A flag signal can be routed to the RTC_ALARM device output when the
OSEL[1:0] bits in the RTC_CR3 register have the adequate value. The RTC_ALARM
polarity can be configured through the POL bit in the RTC_CR3 register (see
Section 24.6.11).
A positive shift operation (see Section 24.3.8: RTC synchronization (low, medium+ and
high-density devices only)) might cause an alarm to be missed if the subsecond field is
compared (if MASKSS in RTC_ALRMASSMSKR is non-zero). Similarly, a negative shift
operation might cause an alarm to be activated an extra time if the sub-second field is
compared.

Caution:

If the “seconds” field is masked (MSK1 bit set in RTC_ALRMAR1), the synchronous
prescaler division factor set in the RTC_SPRER register must be at least 3 to ensure a
correct behavior of the RTC.

24.3.4

Periodic auto-wakeup
The periodic wakeup flag is generated by a 16-bit programmable binary auto-reload downcounting timer. The wakeup timer range can be extended to 17 bits.
The wakeup function is enabled through the WUTE bit in the RTC_CR2 register. The
wakeup timer clock can be:
•

RTC clock (RTCCLK) divided by 2, 4, 8, or 16. When RTCCLK is LSE (32.768 kHz), it
is possible to configure the wakeup interrupt period from 122 µs to 32 s, with a
resolution down to 61µs,

•

ck_spre (usually 1 Hz internal clock). When ck_spre is 1 Hz, a wakeup time from 1 s to
around 36 hours with one-second resolution can be achieved. This large
programmable time range is divided in 2 parts:
–

from 1s to 18 hours when WUCKSEL [2:1] = 10

–

and from around 18h to 36h when WUCKSEL[2:1] = 11. In this last case 216 is
added to the 16-bit counter current value.

When the initialization sequence is completed (see Section : Programming the auto-wakeup
timer), the wakeup timer starts down-counting. When the wakeup function is enabled, the
down-counting remains active in low power modes. In addition, when it reaches 0, the
WUTF flag in the RTC_ISR2 register is set and the wakeup counter is automatically
reloaded with its reload value (WUT register value).
The WUTF flag must then be reset by the software.
When the periodic wakeup interrupt is enabled by setting the WUTIE bit in the RTC_CR2
register, it can exit the device from low power modes.

DocID15226 Rev 14

429/597
460

Real-time clock (RTC)

RM0031

The periodic wakeup flag can be routed to the RTC_ALARM device output when the
OSEL[1:0] bits in the RTC_CR3 register have the adequate value. The RTC_ALARM
polarity can be configured through the POL bit in the RTC_CR3 register (see
Section 24.6.11).
System reset as well as Run and Low power operating modes have no influence on the
down-counting timer.

24.3.5

RTC initialization and configuration
RTC register write protection
By default, all the RTC registers (except the RTC_ISR2 register which contains the alarm
and auto-wakeup timer interrupt source flags) are write-protected. Writing to the RTC
registers is enabled by writing a key into the RTC_WPR write protection register.
The following steps are required to unlock the write protection of the RTC registers.

Note:

1.

Write ‘0xCA’ into the RTC_WPR register

2.

Write ‘0x53’ into the RTC_WPR register

Writing a wrong key reactivates the write protection.

Calendar initialization and configuration
To program the initial time and date calendar values including the time format and potentially
the prescaler setup, the following sequence is required:
1.

Set INIT bit to 1 in the RTC_ISR register to enter intialization mode. In this mode, the
calendar counter is stopped and its value can be updated.

2.

Poll INITF bit of in the RTC_ISR register. The initialization phase mode is entered when
INITF is set to 1. It takes around 2 RTCCLK clock cycles for synchronization purposes.

3.

To generate a 1 Hz clock for the calendar counter, program the prescaler register
(RTC_PRER).

4.

Load the initial time and date values in the shadow registers (RTC_TR and RTC_DR),
and configure the time format (12 or 24 hours) through the FMT bit in the RTC_CR
register.

5.

Exit the initialization mode by clearing the INIT bit. The actual calendar counter value is
then automatically loaded and the counting restarts after 4 RTCCLK clock cycles.

When the initialization sequence is completed, the subseconds value is also reinitialized, so
that the next second increment can occur after a full second.
Note:

1

After a system reset, the application can read the INITS flag in the RTC_ISR register to
check if the calendar has been initialized or not. If this flag equals 0, the calendar has not
been initialized since the year field is set at its power-on reset default value (0x00).

2

To read the calendar after initialization, the software must first check that the RSF flag is set
in the RTC_ISR register.

Daylight saving time
The daylight saving time management is performed through bits SUB1H, ADD1H, and BCK
of the RTC_CR register.
Using SUB1H or ADD1H, the software can subtract or add one hour to the calendar in one
single operation without going through the initialization procedure.

430/597

DocID15226 Rev 14

RM0031

Real-time clock (RTC)
In addition, the software can use the BCK bit to memorize this operation.

Programming the alarm
Use the following procedure to program or update the programmable alarm (alarm A):

Note:

1.

Clear ALRAE in RTC_CR2 to disable alarm A.

2.

Poll ALRAWF until it is set in RTC_ISR1 to make sure the access to alarm registers is
allowed. On medium-density devices, it takes around 2 RTCCLK clock cycles (due to
clock synchronization). On low, medium+ and high-density devices, ALRAWF is always
set, so this step can be skipped.

3.

Program alarm A registers: RTC_ALRMASSRx and RTC_ ALRMASSMSKR (on low,
medium+ and high-density devices only) and RTC_ALRMARx.

4.

Set ALRAE in RTC_CR2 to enable alarm A again.

5.

On low, medium+ and high-density devices, after setting ALRAE to '1', the alarm
effectively remains deactived for one additional ck_apre cycle. In other words, an alarm
which is set to occur on the first sub-second update after enabling the alarm will be
masked.

Each change in the RTC_CR2 register is taken into account after around 2 RTCCLK clock
cycles due to clock synchronization.

Programming the auto-wakeup timer
The following sequence is required to configure or change the wakeup timer reload value:

24.3.6

1.

Clear WUTE in RTC_CR2 to disable the wakeup timer.

2.

Poll WUTWF until it is set in RTC_ISR1 to make sure the access to wakeup autoreload counter and to WUCKSEL[2:0] bits is allowed. It takes around 2 RTCCLK clock
cycles (due to clock synchronization).

3.

Program the value into the wakeup timer (RTC_WUTRL and RTC_WUTRH) and select
the desired clock (WUCKSEL[2:0] bits in RTC_CR1).

4.

Set WUTE in RTC_CR2 register to enable the timer again. The wakeup timer restarts
down-counting.

Reading the calendar
•

In medium-density devices, or when BYPSHAD is cleared:
In order to read the RTC calendar registers (RTC_SSRx, RTC_TRx and RTC_DRx)
properly, the system clock frequency (fSYSCLK) must be equal to or greater than four
times the fRTCCLK RTC clock frequency. This ensures a secure behavior of the
synchronization mechanism.
The RSF bit is set in TRTC_ISR register each time the calendar registers are copied
into the RTX_SSRx, RTC_TRx and RTC_DRx shadow registers. The copy is
performed every RTCCLK cycle. To ensure the consistency between the values when
the software reads the calendar, the update of all shadow registers (RTC_SSRL,
RTC_SSRH, RTC_TR1, RTC_TR2, RTC_TR3, RTC_DR1, RTC_DR2 and RTC_DR3)
is frozen after RTC_SSRL (low, medium+ and high-density devices) or RTC_TR1
(medium-density devices) is read, and until RTC_DR3 is read. In low, medium+ and
high-density devices, if the software does not need to read the sub-second values, it
can first read RTC_TR1 and all the values are locked until RTC_DR3 is read.
In case the software makes read accesses to the calendar in a time interval smaller
than 1 RTCCLK period: RSF must be cleared by software after the first calendar read,

DocID15226 Rev 14

460

Real-time clock (RTC)

RM0031

and then the software must wait until RSF is set before reading again the calendar
shadow registers.
After a low power mode wakeup, RSF must be cleared by software. The software must
then wait until it is set again before reading the RTC_TR and RTC_DR registers. The
RSF bit must be cleared after wakeup and not before entering low power mode.
Note:

1

After a system reset,the software must wait until RSF is set before reading the RTC_SSRx,
RTC_TRx and RTC_DRx registers. Indeed, a system reset resets the shadow registers to
their default values.

2

After an initialization (refer to Section : Calendar initialization and configuration), or after a
shift operation (refer to Section 24.3.8: RTC synchronization (low, medium+ and highdensity devices only)): the software must wait until RSF is set before reading the
RTC_SSRx, RTC_TRx and RTC_DRx registers.
•

In low, medium+ and high-density devices, when the BYPSHAD control bit in the
RTC_CR1 register is set to 1 (bypass shadow registers):
Reading the calendar registers gives the values from the calendar counters directly,
thus eliminating the need to wait for RSF to be set. This is especially useful after exiting
from Active-halt since the shadow registers are not updated during Active-halt mode.
When BYPSHAD is set to 1, the results of the different registers might not be coherent
with each other if an RTCCLK edge occurs between two read accesses to the
registers. Additionally, the value of one of the registers may be incorrect if an RTCCLK
edge occurs during the read operation. The software must read all the registers twice,
and then compare the results to confirm that the data is coherent and correct.

Note:

When BYPSHAD is set to 1, the instructions which read the calendar registers require one
extra system cycle to complete.

24.3.7

Resetting the RTC
The calendar shadow registers (RTC_SSRx, RTC_TRx and RTC_DRx) and the RTC status
registers (RTC_ISRx) are reset to their default value by all available system reset sources.
On the contrary, the RTC current calendar registers and control registers (RTC_CRx), the
prescaler registers (RTC_SPREx and RTC_APRE), the wakeup timer registers
(RTC_WUTRx) and the alarm A registers (RTC_ALRMASSRx and RTC_ALRMARx) are
reset to their default values by Power-on reset only. They are not affected by a system reset.
In addition, as soon as an RTC clock is enabled in the CLK_CRTCR clock controller
register, the RTC continues to run under reset (if the reset source is other than the Power-on
reset).
When power-on reset occurs, the RTC is stopped and all its registers are set to their reset
values.

24.3.8

RTC synchronization (low, medium+ and high-density devices only)
On low, medium+ and high-density devices, the RTC can be synchronized to a remote clock
with a high degree of precision. After reading the subsecond field (RTC_SSRx), a
calculation can be made of the precise offset between the times being maintained by the
remote clock and the RTC. The RTC can then be finely adjusted to eliminate this offset by
“shifting” its clock by a fraction of a second using the RTC_SHIFTRx register.

Real-time clock (RTC)
Reading the RTC_SSRx registers gives the value of the synchronous prescaler counter.
This allows to calculate the exact RTC time down to a resolution of 1/(PREDIV_S + 1)
seconds. As a consequence, the resolution can be improved by increasing the synchronous
prescaler value (PREDIV_S[14:0]. The maximum resolution allowed (30.52 µs with a
32768 Hz clock) is obtained with PREDIV_S set to 0x7FFF.
However, increasing the synchronous prescaler value means that the asynchronous
prescaler value (PREDIV_A[6:0]) must be decreased to maintain the synchronous prescaler
output at 1 Hz. As a result, the frequency of the asynchronous prescaler output increases,
which may increase the RTC dynamic consumption.
The RTC can be finely adjusted using the RTC shift control register (RTC_SHIFTR). Writing
to RTC_SHIFTR can shift (either delay or advance) the clock by up to a second with a
resolution of 1 / ( PREDIV_S + 1) seconds.
The shift operation consists in adding the SUBFS[14:0] value to the synchronous prescaler
counter SS[15:0]: this delays the clock. If at the same time ADD1S is set, this adds one
second and at the same time substracts a fraction of second, so this advances the clock.

Caution:

Before initiating a shift operation, the user must check that SS[15] = 0 in order to ensure that
no overflow will occur.
As soon as a shift operation is initiated by a write to the RTC_SHIFTRL register, the SHPF
flag is set by hardware to indicate that a shift operation is pending. This bit is cleared by
hardware as soon as the shift operation has completed.

24.3.9

RTC smooth digital calibration (low, medium+ and high
density devices only)
On low, medium+ and high-density devices, the RTC frequency can be digitally calibrated
with a resolution of about 0.954 ppm with a range from −487.1 to +488.5 ppm. The correction
of the frequency is performed using series of small adjustments (adding and/or subtracting
individual RTCCLK clock cycles). These adjustments are fairly well distributed so that the
RTC is well calibrated even when observed over short periods of time.
The calibration is performed during a cycle of about 220 RTCCLK clock cycles, or
32 seconds when the input frequency is 32768 Hz.
The calibration registers (RTC_CALRx) specify the number of RTCCLK clock cycles to be
masked during the 32-second cycle:
•

Setting the bit CALM[0] to 1 causes exactly one pulse to be masked during the 32second cycle.

•

Setting CALM[1] to 1 causes two additional cycles to be masked

•

Setting SMC[2] to 1 causes four additional cycles to be masked,

•

and so on up to SMC[8] set to 1 which causes 256 clocks to be masked.

While the CALM bits allow to reduce the RTC frequency by up to 487.1 ppm with a fine
resolution, the bit CALP of the RTC_CALRH register can be used to increase the frequency
by 488.5 ppm. Setting this bit 1 effectively inserts an additional RTCCLK clock cycle every
211 RTCCLK cycles, which means that 512 clocks are added during every 32-second cycle.
Using the CALM bits in conjunction with CALP, an offset ranging from −511 to 512 RTCCLK
cycles can be added during each 32-second cycle. This corresponds to a calibration range
of −487.1 to 488.5 ppm with a resolution of about 0.954 ppm.

RM0031

The formula to calculate the effective calibrated frequency (fCAL) given the input frequency
(fRTCCLK) is as follows:
f CAL = f RTCCLK × ( 1 + ( CALP × 512 – CALM ) ⁄ ( 2

20

+ CALM – CALP × 512 ) )

Calibration when PREDIV_A<3
The CALP bit can not be set to 1 when the asynchronous prescaler value (PREDIV_A bits in
RTC_APRER register) is less than 3. If CALP was already set to 1 and PREDIV_A bits are
set to a value less than 3, CALP is ignored and the calibration operates as if CALP was
equal to 0.
To perform a calibration with PREDIV_A less than 3, the synchronous prescaler value
(PREDIV_S) should be reduced so that each second is accelerated by 8 RTCCLK clock
cycles, which is equivalent to adding 256 clock cycles every 32 seconds. As a result,
between−255 and 256 clock pulses (corresponding to a calibration range from − 243.3 to
244.1 ppm) can effectively be added during each 32-second cycle using only the CALM bits.
With a nominal RTCCLK frequency of 32768 Hz, when PREDIV_A equals 1 (division factor
of 2), PREDIV_S should be set to 16379 rather than 16383 (4 less). The only other
interesting case is when PREDIV_A equals 0, PREDIV_S should be set to 32759 rather
than 32767 (8 less).
If PREDIV_S is reduced in this way, the formula given the effective frequency of the
calibrated input clock is as follows:
f CAL = f RTCCLK × ( 1 + ( 256 – CALM ) ⁄ ( 2

20

+ CALM – 256 ) )

In this case, CALM[7:0] equals 0x100 (the midpoint of the CALM range) is the correct
setting if RTCCLK is exactly 32768.00 Hz.

Verifying the RTC calibration
RTC precision is ensured by measuring the precise frequency of RTCCLK and calculating
the correct CALM value and CALP values. However, for certain applications, standards
require that the RTC precision be measured and verified on each device. An optional 1 Hz
output is provided on low, medium+ and high-density devices to allow applications to
measure and verify the RTC precision.
Measuring the precise frequency of the RTC over a limited interval can result in a
measurement error of up to 2 RTCCLK clock cycles over the measurement period,
depending on how the digital calibration cycle is aligned with the measurement period.
However, this measurement error can be eliminated if the measurement period is the same
length as the calibration cycle period. In this case, the only error observed is the error due to
the resolution of the digital calibration.

434/597

•

By default, the calibration cycle period is 32 seconds.
Using this mode and measuring the accuracy of the 1 Hz output over exactly 32
seconds guarantees that the measure is within 0.477 ppm (0.5 RTCCLK cycles over 32
seconds, due to the limitation of the calibration resolution).

•

Alternatively, the CALW16 bit of the RTC_CALRH register can be set to 1 to force a 16second calibration cycle period.
In this case, the RTC precision can be measured during 16 seconds with a maximum
error of 0.954 ppm (0.5 RTCCLK cycles over 16 seconds). However, since the
DocID15226 Rev 14

RM0031

Real-time clock (RTC)
calibration resolution is reduced, the long term RTC precision is also reduced to 0.954
ppm: CALM[0] and CALW16 can not be set to 1 simultaneously.
•

To reduce the calibration cycle to 8 seconds, the CALW8 bit of the RTC_CALRH
register can be set to 1. In this case, the RTC precision can be measured during 8
seconds with a maximum error of 1.907 ppm (0.5 RTCCLK cycles over 8s). The long
term RTC precision is also reduced to 1.907 ppm: CALM[1:0] bits are stuck at 00 when
CALW8 is set to 1.

Re-calibration on-the-fly
The calibration registers (RTC_CALRH/RTC_CALRL) can be updated on-the-fly while
RTC_ISR1/INITF=0, by using the follow process:

24.3.10

1.

Poll the RTC_ISR1/RECALPF (re-calibration pending flag).

2.

If it is set to 0, write a new value to RTC_CALRH,if necessary.

3.

Write to the RTC_CALRL register. RECALPF is then automatically set to 1.

4.

Within three ck_apre cycles after the write operation to RTC_CALRL, the new
calibration settings take effect.

Tamper detection (low, medium+ and high-density devices only)
There are three tamper detection inputs. Each one is associated with a flag
TAMP1F/TAMP2F/ TAMP3F in the RTC_ISR2 register. Each input can be enabled by
setting the corresponding TAMP1E/TAMP2E/TAMP3E bits to 1. The tamper detection
control bits are available in the RTC_TCR1 and RTC_TCR2 registers.
By setting the TAMPIE bit in the RTC_TCR1 register, an interrupt is generated when a
tamper detection event occurs. A tamper detection event is generated when either 2, 4, or 8
consecutive samples (depending on TAMPFLT bit) are observed at the level configured
through the TAMPTRG bit.
The TAMPER inputs are pre-charged through the I/O internal resistance before its state is
sampled, unless the pull-up is disabled by setting TAMPPUDIS to 1. The duration of the
precharge is determined by the TAMPPRCH bits, allowing for larger capacitances on the
tamper inputs.
The trade-off between tamper detection latency and any power consumption through the
weak pull-up can be optimized by using TAMPFREQ to determine the frequency of the
sampling for level detection.

Note:

Refer to the datasheets for the electrical characteristics of the pull-up resistors.

24.3.11

Calibration clock output
When the COE bit is set to 1 in the RTC_CR3 register, a reference clock is provided on the
RTC_CALIB device output. If the COSEL bit (bit 3 in the RTC_CR3 register) is reset and
PREDIV_A = 0x7F, the RTC_CALIB frequency is fRTCCLK/64. This corresponds to a
calibration output at 512 Hz for an RTCCLK frequency at 32.768 kHz.

Note:

The RTC_CALIB duty cycle is irregular: there is a light jitter on falling edges. It is therefore
recommended to use rising edges.
On low, medium+ and high-density devices, if COSEL is set and “PREDIV_S+1” is a nonzero multiple of 256 (i.e: PREDIV_S[7:0] = 0xFF), RTC_CALIB frequency is fRTCCLK/(256 *
(PREDIV_A+1)). This corresponds to a calibration output at 1 Hz for prescaler default
values (PREDIV_A = Ox7F, PREDIV_S = 0xFF), with an RTCCLK frequency at 32.768 kHz.

Alarm output
Two functions can be selected on Alarm output: ALRAF, and WUTF. They reflect the content
of the corresponding flag registers. The OSEL[1:0] control bits in the RTC_CR3 register are
used to activate and select the function which is output on RTC_ALARM. The polarity of the
output is determined by the POL control bit in RTC_CR3: the opposite of the selected flag
bit is output on RTC_ALARM when the POL bit is set to 1.

RTC interrupts cause the device to exit from Wait mode.

Active halt/Halt

The RTC remains active if its clock source is LSE or LSI. RTC interrupts can
exit the device from Active-halt/Halt mode: alarm A interrupt, periodic
wakeup interrupt and the 3 tamper interrupts (see Section 24.5: RTC
interrupts).

1

The “Active-halt” mode is a low power mode where the CPU and the peripheral clocks are
stopped, except the RTC. It is described in Section 7: Low power modes on page 72.

2

The RTC is designed to have a reduced consumption when clocked by LSE/LSI (refer to the
Electrical characteristics section in the device datasheet for more details).

RTC interrupts
The alarm A interrupt, the periodic wakeup interrupt and the 3 tamper interrupts share the

Bits 7:0 SUBFS[7:0]: LSB to subtract a fraction of a second
Before writing to this register, the values for ADD1S and SUBFS[14:8] must first be defined by writing
to RTC_SHIFTRH.
The value which is written to SUBFS[14:0] (included in RTC_SHIFTRH and RTC_SHIFTRL) is added
to the synchronous prescaler counter. Since this counter counts down, this operation subtracts the
delay from the clock, effectively delaying the clock by:
Delay (seconds) = SUBFS / ( PREDIV_S + 1 )
A fraction of a second can be added to the clock when the ADD1S function is used in conjunction with
SUBFS, effectively advancing the clock by:
Advance (seconds) = ( 1 - ( SUBFS / ( PREDIV_S + 1 ) )

Independent watchdog (IWDG)

Independent watchdog (IWDG)
This section applies to low, medium-density STM8L05xx/STM8L15xx devices, medium+
density STM8L05xx/STM8L15xx devices and high-density
STM8L05xx/STM8L15xx/STM8L16xx devices, unless otherwise specified.

25.1

IWDG introduction
The independent watchdog peripheral can be used to resolve processor malfunctions due to
hardware or software failures. It is clocked by the LSI internal RC clock source, and thus
stays active even if the main clock fails.

25.2

IWDG functional description
Figure 132 shows the functional blocks of the independent watchdog module.
When the independent watchdog is started by writing the value 0xCC in the key register
(IWDG_KR), the counter starts counting down from the reset value of 0xFF. When it reaches
the end of count value (0x00) a reset signal is generated (IWDG RESET).
Once enabled, the independent watchdog can be configured through the IWDG_PR, and
IWDG_RLR registers. The IWDG_PR register is used to select the prescaler divider feeding
the counter clock. Whenever the KEY_REFRESH value (0xAA) is written in the IWDG_KR
register, the IWDG is refreshed by reloading the IWDG_RLR value into the counter and the
watchdog reset is prevented.
The IWDG_PR and IWDG_RLR registers are write protected. To modify them, first write the
KEY_ACCESS code (0x55) in the IWDG_KR register. The sequence can be aborted by
writing 0xAA in the IWDG_KR register to refresh it.
Refer to Section 25.3: IWDG registers for details on the IWDG registers.

Hardware watchdog feature
If the hardware watchdog feature has been enabled through the IWDG_HW option byte, the
watchdog is automatically enabled at power-on, and generates a reset unless the key
register is written by the software before the counter reaches end of count. Refer to the
option byte description in the datasheet.

Timeout period
The maximum timeout period can be configured through the IWDG_PR and IWDG_RLR
registers. It is determined by the following equation:

T = T LSI × P × R
where:
T = Maximum timeout period
TLSI = 1/fLSI

P = 2 (PR[2:0] + 2)
R = RLR[7:0]+1
The IWDG counter must be refreshed by software before this timeout period expires.
Otherwise, an IWDG reset will be generated after the following delay has elapsed since the
last refresh operation:
D = T + 3 x TLSI
where D= delay between the last refresh operation and the IWDG reset.

Using the IWDG in Halt/Active-halt mode
The IWDG can continue to work in Halt or Active-halt mode, depending on the configuration
of the IWDG_HALT option byte. In this case, it can wake up the device from one of these
modes. For more details, please refer to the Option Byte description in the datasheet.
Note:

462/597

The application must configure correctly the IWDG timeout and refresh the IWDG counter
before executing the HALT instruction, to avoid unexpected IWDG reset.

Window watchdog (WWDG)

Window watchdog (WWDG)
This section applies to low, medium-density STM8L05xx/STM8L15xx devices, medium+
density STM8L05xx/STM8L15xx devices and high-density
STM8L05xx/STM8L15xx/STM8L16xx devices, unless otherwise specified.

26.1

WWDG introduction
The window watchdog is used to detect the occurrence of a software fault, usually
generated by external interference or by unforeseen logical conditions, which causes the
application program to abandon its normal sequence. The watchdog circuit generates an
MCU reset on expiry of a programmed time period, unless the program refreshes the
contents of the downcounter before the T6 bit becomes cleared. An MCU reset is also
generated if the 7-bit downcounter value (in the control register) is refreshed before the
downcounter has reached the window register value. This implies that the counter must be
refreshed in a limited window.

26.2

26.3

WWDG main features
•

Programmable free-running downcounter

•

Conditional reset
–

Reset (if watchdog activated) when the downcounter value becomes less than
0x40

–

Reset (if watchdog activated) if the downcounter is reloaded outside the window
(see Figure 134)

•

Hardware/software watchdog activation (selectable by option byte)

•

Optional reset on HALT instruction (configurable by option byte)

WWDG functional description
If the watchdog is activated (the WDGA bit is set) and when the 7-bit downcounter (T[6:0]
bits) rolls over from 0x40 to 0x3F (T6 becomes cleared), it initiates a reset cycle pulling low
the reset pin. If the software refreshes the counter while the counter is greater than the
value stored in the window register, then a reset is generated.

The application program must write in the WWDG_CR register at regular intervals during
normal operation to prevent an MCU reset. This operation must occur only when the counter
value is lower than the window register value. The value to be stored in the WWDG_CR
register must be between 0xFF and 0xC0:
•

Enabling the watchdog:
When software watchdog is selected (by option byte), the watchdog is disabled after a
reset. It is enabled by setting the WDGA bit in the WWDG_CR register, then it cannot
be disabled again except by a reset.
When hardware watchdog is selected (by option byte), the watchdog is always active
and the WDGA bit is not used.

•

Controlling the downcounter:
This downcounter is free-running: It counts down even if the watchdog is disabled.
When the watchdog is enabled, the T6 bit must be set to prevent generating an
immediate reset.
The T[5:0] bits contain the number of increments which represents the time delay
before the watchdog produces a reset. The timing varies between a minimum and a
maximum value due to the unknown status of the prescaler when writing to the
WWDG_CR register (see Figure 134).
The window register (WWDG_WR) contains the high limit of the window: To prevent a
reset, the downcounter must be reloaded when its value is lower than the window
register value and greater than 0x3F. Figure 134 describes the window watchdog
process.

Note:

The T6 bit can be used to generate a software reset (the WDGA bit is set and the T6 bit is
cleared).
•

466/597

Watchdog reset on halt option
If the watchdog is activated and the watchdog reset on halt option is selected, then the
HALT instruction will generate a reset.

Window watchdog (WWDG)

How to program the watchdog timeout
The formula below can be used to calculate the WWDG timeout, tWWDG, expressed in ms:
t WWDG = T SYSCLK × 12288 × ( T [ 5:0 ] + 1 )

where TSYSCLK is the peripheral clock period expressed in ms

Warning:

When writing to the WWDG_CR register, always write 1 in the
T6 bit to avoid generating an immediate reset.

No watchdog reset is generated. The MCU enters Halt mode. The watchdog counter is
decremented once and then stops counting and is no longer able to generate a watchdog reset
until the MCU receives an external interrupt or a reset.
If an interrupt is received (refer to interrupt table mapping to see interrupts which can occur in
Halt mode), the watchdog restarts counting after the stabilization delay. If a reset is generated,
the watchdog is disabled (reset state) unless hardware watchdog is selected by option byte. For
application recommendations see Section 26.7 below.

A reset is generated instead of entering Halt mode.

No reset is generated. The MCU enters Active-halt mode. The watchdog counter is not
decremented. It stops counting. When the MCU receives an oscillator interrupt or external
interrupt, the watchdog restarts counting immediately. When the MCU receives a reset the
watchdog restarts counting after the stabilization delay.

Hardware watchdog option
If hardware watchdog is selected by option byte, the watchdog is always active and the
WDGA bit in the WWDG_CR register is not used. Refer to the option byte description in the

AES hardware accelerator (AES)
This section applies to high-density STM8AL31Exx, STM8AL3LExx and STM8L16xx
devices only.

27.1

AES introduction
The AES hardware accelerator can be used to both encipher and decipher data using the
AES algorithm.
It is a fully compliant implementation of the following standard: the advanced encryption
standard (AES) as defined by the Federal information processing standards publication
(FIPS PUB 197, 2001 November 26).
The accelerator encrypts and decrypts 128-bit blocks using a 128-bit key length. It can also
perform key derivation.
The various chaining algorithms can be supported by software: Electronic codebook (ECB)
mode, Cipher block chaining (CBC) mode or Counter (CTR) mode and Galois counter mode
(GCM).
It supports DMA transfer for the incoming data and for the outcoming data (2 DMA channels
required).

The AES accelerator processes data blocks of 128 bits (16 bytes) using a key with a length
of 128 bits and provides four modes of operations:
•

Mode 1: encryption

•

Mode 2: key derivation

•

Mode 3: decryption using a given (pre-computed) decryption key

•

Mode 4: key derivation + decryption using an encryption key.

The mode of operation is selected by programming the MODE[1:0] bits in the AES_CR
register. The mode can be changed only when the AES is disabled (EN bit = 0 in the
AES_CR register).
Once enabled (EN bit =1), the AES is in the input phase, waiting for the software to write the
input data bytes into the AES_DINR (32 or 16 bytes depending on the mode of operation).
Once all the write operations are performed, the computation phase takes place. The CCF
status flag (computation complete flag) in the AES_SR register is set once the computation
phase is completed. An interrupt can be generated if the CCIE bit =1 in the AES_CR
register.
The operation ends with the output phase where the software reads successively the 16
output data bytes from the AES_DOUTR register.
During the input and output phases, the software must read or write the data bytes
successively but the AES is tolerant to any delay occurring between each read or write
operation (example: if servicing another interrupt at this time).
The RDERR and WRERR flags in the AES_SR register are set when an unexpected read or
write operation is detected. An interrupt can be generated if ERRIE=1 into the AES_CR
register. The AES is not disabled after an error detection and continues to work in a normal
way.
It is also possible to use the general purpose DMA to write the input bytes and to read the
output bytes (refer to Figure 140 and Figure 141).

DocID15226 Rev 14

471/597
481

AES hardware accelerator (AES)
Note:

RM0031

The CCF flag has no meaning when DMAEN = 1 in the AES_CR register, because the write
and read operations on the AES_DINR and AES_DOUTR registers are automatically
managed by the DMA without any software intervention.
The AES can be re-initialized at any moment by resetting the EN bit in the AES_CR register.
Then the AES can be re-started from the beginning by setting the EN bit, waiting for the first
input data byte to be written.

AES hardware accelerator (AES)

AES DMA interface
The AES accelerator provides an interface to connect to the DMA controller. The DMA must
be configured to transfer bytes.
The AES can be associated with two distinct DMA request channels:
•

A DMA request channel for the inputs: when the DMAEN bit is set in the AES_CR
register, the AES initiates the DMA request (AES_IN) during the input phase each time
it requires a byte to be written into the AES_DINR register. The DMA channel must be
configured in memory-to-peripheral mode (DIR=1 in the corresponding DMA_CxCR
register)

•

A DMA request channel for the outputs: when the DMAEN bit is enabled, the AES
initiates a DMA request (AES_OUT) during the output phase each time it requires a
byte to be read into the AES_DOUTR register. The DMA channel must be configured in
peripheral-to-memory mode (DIR=0 in the corresponding DMA_CxCR register).

The number of DMA requests asserted for each phase depends on the mode of operation
and is described in Figure 140 and Figure 141.
DMA requests are generated until the AES is disabled. Consequently, after the data output
phase corresponding to one 128-bit data block processing, the AES switches automatically
to a new data input phase for the next data block processing.

Note:

When the DMA is enabled (DMAEN = 1), the CCF bit status is not relevant . This bit may
remain high and no special care needs to be taken in this case. However, in case the
application needs to exit from DMA mode and enable the CPU access for the data input or
data output phase, the software must clear this bit.

27.6

Error flags
The RDERR flag in the AES_SR register is set when an unexpected read operation is
detected during the computation phase or during the input phase.
The WRERR flag in the AES_SR register is set when an unexpected write operation is
detected during the output phase or during the computation phase.
An interrupt can be generated when one of those two flags are set if the ERRIE bit in the
AES_CR register has been previously set.
If an error is detected, the AES is not disabled by hardware and still continues the on-going
processing (if any) in a normal way.

Inter-integrated circuit (I2C) interface
This section applies to low-density STM8L05xx/STM8L15xx devices, medium-density
STM8L05xx/STM8L15xx devices, medium+ density STM8L05xx/STM8L15xx devices and
high-density STM8L05xx/STM8L15xx/STM8L16xx devices, unless otherwise specified.

28.1

I2C introduction
I2C (inter-integrated circuit) bus interface serves as an interface between the
microcontroller and the serial I2C bus. It provides multi-master capability, and controls all
I2C bus-specific sequencing, protocol, arbitration and timing. It supports standard and fast
speed modes. It may be used for a variety of purposes, including CRC generation and
verification, SMBus (system management bus) and PMBus (power management bus). DMA
capability is also available for reduced CPU overload.

I2C general description
In addition to receiving and transmitting data, this interface converts it from serial to parallel
format and vice versa. The interrupts are enabled or disabled by software. The interface is
connected to the I2C bus by a data pin (SDA) and by a clock pin (SCL). It can be connected
with a standard (up to 100 kHz), or fast (up to 400 kHz) I2C bus.

Mode selection
The interface can operate in one of the four following modes:
•

Slave transmitter

•

Slave receiver

•

Master transmitter

•

Master receiver

By default, it operates in slave mode. The interface automatically switches from slave to
master, after it generates a START condition and from master to slave, if an arbitration loss
or a STOP generation occurs, allowing Multi-Master capability.
Communication flow
In Master mode, the I2C interface initiates a data transfer and generates the clock signal. A
serial data transfer always begins with a start condition and ends with a stop condition. Both
start and stop conditions are generated in master mode by software.
In Slave mode, the interface is capable of recognizing its own addresses (7- or 10-bit), and
the General Call address. The General Call address detection may be enabled or disabled
by software.
Data and addresses are transferred as 8-bit bytes, MSB first. The first byte(s) following the
start condition contain the address (one in 7-bit mode, two in 10-bit mode). The address is
always transmitted in Master mode.
A 9th clock pulse follows the 8 clock cycles of a byte transfer, during which the receiver must
send an acknowledge bit to the transmitter. Refer to the following figure.

RM0031

I2C functional description
By default the I2C interface operates in Slave mode. To switch from default Slave mode to
Master mode a Start condition generation is needed.

28.4.1

I2C slave mode
The peripheral input clock must be programmed in the I2C_FREQR register in order to
generate correct timings. The peripheral input clock frequency must be at least:
•

1 MHz in Standard mode

•

4 MHz in Fast mode

As soon as a start condition is detected, the address is received from the SDA line and sent
to the shift register. Then it is compared with the address of the interface (I2C_OAR1L &
I2C_OAR2 if ENDUAL = 1 in medium+ and high-density devices and I2C_OARL in
medium-density devices) or the General Call address (if ENGC = 1).
Note:

In 10-bit addressing mode, the comparison includes the header sequence (11110xx0),
where xx denotes the two most significant bits of the address.
Header or address not matched: the interface ignores it and waits for another Start
condition.
Header matched (10-bit mode only): the interface generates an acknowledge pulse if the
ACK bit is set and waits for the 8-bit slave address.
Address matched: the interface generates in sequence:
•

An acknowledge pulse if the ACK bit is set

•

The ADDR bit is set by hardware and an interrupt is generated if the ITEVTEN bit is
set. In medium+ and high-density devices, if ENDUAL=1, the software has to read the
DUALF bit to check which slave address has been acknowledged.

In 10-bit mode, after receiving the address sequence the slave is always in Receiver mode.
It will enter Transmitter mode on receiving a repeated Start condition followed by the header
sequence with matching address bits and the least significant bit set (11110xx1).
The TRA bit indicates whether the slave is in Receiver or Transmitter mode.

DocID15226 Rev 14

RM0031

Inter-integrated circuit (I2C) interface

Slave transmitter
Following the address reception and after clearing ADDR, the slave sends bytes from the
DR register to the SDA line via the internal shift register.
The slave stretches SCL low until ADDR is cleared and DR filled with the data to be sent
(see Transfer sequencing EV1 EV3 in the following figure).
When the acknowledge pulse is received:
•

The TXE bit is set by hardware with an interrupt if the ITEVTEN and the ITBUFEN bits
are set.

If TXE is set and a data was not written in the DR register before the end of the next data
transmission, the BTF bit is set and the interface waits until BTF is cleared, by reading the
SR1 register and then writing to the DR register, stretching SCL low.

EV3: TXE=1, shift register not empty, data register empty, cleared by writing DR.
EV3-2: AF=1, AF is cleared by writing ‘0’ in AF bit of SR2 register.
2. EV1 and EV3-1 events stretch SCL low until the end of the corresponding software sequence.
3. EV3 software sequence must be performed before the end of the current byte transfer. In case EV3
software sequence can not be managed before the end of the current byte transfer, it is recommended to
use BTF instead of TXE with the drawback of slowing the communication.

Slave receiver
Following the address reception and after clearing ADDR, the slave receives bytes from the
SDA line into the DR register via the internal shift register. After each byte the interface
generates in sequence:
•

An acknowledge pulse if the ACK bit is set

•

The RXNE bit is set by hardware and an interrupt is generated if the ITEVTEN and
ITBUFEN bit is set.

If RXNE is set and the data in the DR register is not read before the end of the next data
reception, the BTF bit is set and the interface waits until BTF is cleared, by reading the SR1
register and then reading the DR register, stretching SCL low (see Figure 145).

2. EV1 event stretches SCL low until the end of the corresponding software sequence.
3. EV2 software sequence must be performed before the end of the current byte transfer.
4. After checking the SR1 register content, the user should perform the complete clearing sequence for each
flag found set. Thus, for the ADDR and STOPF flags, the following sequence is recommended inside the
I2C interrupt routine:
READ SR1
if (ADDR == 1) {READ SR1; READ SR3}
if (STOPF == 1) {READ SR1; WRITE CR2}
The purpose is to make sure that both ADDR and STOPF flags are cleared if both are found set.
5. See also: Note 9 on page 511.

Closing slave communication
After the last data byte is transferred, a Stop condition is generated by the master. The
interface detects this condition and sets the STOPF bit and generates an interrupt if the
ITEVTEN bit is set.
STOPF is cleared by a read of the SR1 register followed by a write to the CR2 register (see
Figure 146).

28.4.2

I2C master mode
In Master mode, the I2C interface initiates a data transfer and generates the clock signal. A
serial data transfer always begins with a Start condition and ends with a Stop condition.
Master mode is selected as soon as the Start condition is generated on the bus with a
START bit.
The following is the required sequence in master mode.
•

Program the peripheral input clock in I2C_FREQR Register in order to generate correct
timings.

•

Configure the clock control registers

•

Configure the rise time register

•

Program the I2C_CR1 register to enable the peripheral

•

Set the START bit in the I2C_CR2 register to generate a Start condition

The peripheral input clock frequency must be at least:

488/597

•

1 MHz in Standard mode

•

4 MHz in Fast mode
DocID15226 Rev 14

RM0031

Inter-integrated circuit (I2C) interface

SCL master clock generation
The CCR bits are used to generate the high and low level of the SCL clock, starting from the
generation of the rising and falling edge (respectively). As a slave may stretch the SCL line,
the peripheral checks the SCL input from the bus at the end of the time programmed in
TRISE bits after the rising edge generation.
•

If the SCL line is low, it means that a slave is stretching the bus, and the high level
counter stops until the SCL line is detected high. This allows to guarantee the minimum
HIGH period of the SCL clock parameter.

•

If the SCL line is high, the high level counter keeps on counting.

Indeed, the feedback loop from the SCL rising edge generation by the peripheral to the SCL
rising edge detection by the peripheral takes time even if no slave stretches the clock. This
loopback duration is linked to SCL rising time (impacting SCL VIH input detection), plus
delay due to the analog noise filter present on SCL input path, plus delay due to internal
SCL input synchronization with I2C Peripheral clock. The maximum time used by the
feedback loop is programmed in TRISE bits, so that the SCL frequency remains stable
whatever the SCL rising time.

Start condition
Setting the START bit causes the interface to generate a Start condition and to switch to
Master mode (MSL bit set) when the BUSY bit is cleared.
Note:

In master mode, setting the START bit causes the interface to generate a Re-Start condition
at the end of the current byte transfer.
Once the Start condition is sent:
•

The SB bit is set by hardware and an interrupt is generated if the ITEVTEN bit is set.

Then the master waits for a read of the SR1 register followed by a write in the DR register
with the Slave address ().

DocID15226 Rev 14

489/597
520

Inter-integrated circuit (I2C) interface

RM0031

Slave address transmission
Then the slave address is sent to the SDA line via the internal shift register.
•

In 10-bit addressing mode, sending the header sequence causes the following event:
–

The ADD10 bit is set by hardware and an interrupt is generated if the ITEVTEN bit
is set.

Then the master waits for a read of the SR1 register followed by a write in the DR
register with the second address byte (see Figure 146 & Figure 147 Transfer
sequencing EV9).
The ADDR bit is set by hardware and an interrupt is generated if the ITEVTEN bit is
set. Then the master waits for a read of the SR1 register followed by a read in the SR3
register (see Figure 146 & Figure 147 Transfer sequencing EV6).
•

In 7-bit addressing mode, one address byte is sent.
As soon as the address byte is sent,
–

The ADDR bit is set by hardware and an interrupt is generated if the ITEVTEN bit
is set.

Then the master waits for a read of the SR1 register followed by a read in the SR3
register (see Figure 146 & Figure 147 Transfer sequencing EV6).
The master can decide to enter Transmitter or Receiver mode depending on the LSB of
the slave address sent.
•

•

In 7-bit addressing mode,
–

To enter Transmitter mode, a master sends the slave address with LSB reset.

–

To enter Receiver mode, a master sends the slave address with LSB set.

In 10-bit addressing mode,
–

To enter Transmitter mode, a master sends the header (11110xx0) and then the
slave address, (where xx denotes the two most significant bits of the address).

–

To enter Receiver mode, a master sends the header (11110xx0) and then the
slave address. Then it should send a repeated Start condition followed by the
header (11110xx1), (where xx denotes the two most significant bits of the
address).

The TRA bit indicates whether the master is in Receiver or Transmitter mode.

Inter-integrated circuit (I2C) interface

Master transmitter
Following the address transmission and after clearing ADDR, the master sends bytes from
the DR register to the SDA line via the internal shift register.
The master waits until the first data byte is written in the DR register, (see
Figure 146Transfer sequencing EV8_1).
When the acknowledge pulse is received:
•

The TXE bit is set by hardware and an interrupt is generated if the ITEVTEN and
ITBUFEN bits are set.

If TXE is set and a data byte was not written in the DR register before the end of the next
data transmission, BTF is set and the interface waits until BTF is cleared, by reading the
SR1 register and then writing to the DR register, stretching SCL low.

Closing the communication
After writing the last byte to the DR register, the STOP bit is set by software to generate a
Stop condition (see Figure 146 Transfer sequencing EV8_2). The interface goes
automatically back to slave mode (MSL bit cleared).
Note:

Stop condition should be programmed during EV8_2 event, when either TXE or BTF is set.

Master receiver
Following the address transmission and after clearing ADDR, the I2C interface enters
Master Receiver mode. In this mode the interface receives bytes from the SDA line into the
DR register via the internal shift register. After each byte the interface generates in
sequence:
•

An acknowledge pulse if the ACK bit is set

•

The RXNE bit is set and an interrupt is generated if the ITEVTEN and ITBUFEN bits
are set ().

If the RXNE bit is set and the data in the DR register was not read before the end of the next
data reception, the BTF bit is set by hardware and the interface waits for the BTF bit to be
cleared by reading I2C_SR1 and then I2C_DR, stretching SCL low.

Closing the communication
Method 1: This method is for the case when the I2C is used with interrupts that have the
highest priority in the application.
The master sends a NACK for the last byte received from the slave. After receiving this
NACK, the slave releases the control of the SCL and SDA lines. Then the master can send
a Stop/Re-Start condition.
•

In order to generate the non-acknowledge pulse after the last received data byte, the
ACK bit must be cleared just after reading the second last data byte (after second last
RXNE event).

•

In order to generate the Stop/Re-Start condition, software must set the STOP/ START
bit just after reading the second last data byte (after the second last RXNE event).

•

In case a single byte is to be received, the Acknowledge deactivation and the STOP
condition generation are made just after EV6 (in EV6-1 just after ADDR is cleared).

After the Stop condition generation, the interface goes automatically back to slave mode
(MSL bit cleared).
Method 1: This method is for the case when the I2C is used with interrupts that have the
highest priority in the application.

this sequence should be followed by writing CR2 with START = 1.

2. If the DR and shift registers are full, the next data reception (I2C clock generation for slave) is performed
after the EV7 event is cleared. In this case, EV7 does not overlap with data reception.
3. If a single byte is received, it is NA.
4. EV5, EV6 and EV9 events stretch SCL low until the end of the corresponding software sequence.
5. EV7 software sequence must be completed before the end of the current byte transfer.In case EV7
software sequence can not be managed before the current byte end of transfer, it is recommended to use
BTF instead of RXNE with the drawback of slowing the communication.
6. The EV6_1 or EV7_1 software sequence must be completed before the ACK pulse of the current byte
transfer.
7. See also: Note 9 on page 511.

Method 2: This method is for the case when the I2C is used with interrupts that do not have
the highest priority in the application or when the I2C is used with polling.
With this method:
•

DataN_2 is not read, so that after DataN_1, the communication is stretched (both
RxNE and BTF are set).

•

Then, the ACK bit must be cleared before reading DataN-2 in DR to make sure this bit
has been cleared before the DataN Acknowledge pulse.

•

After that, just after reading DataN_2, software must set the STOP/ START bit and read
DataN_1. After RxNE is set, read DataN.

3. EV7 software sequence must be completed before the end of the current byte transfer. In case EV7

When 3 bytes remain to be read:
•

RxNE = 1 => Nothing (DataN-2 not read).

•

DataN-1 received

•

BTF = 1 because both shift and data registers are full: DataN-2 in DR and DataN-1 in
the shift register => SCL tied low: no other data will be received on the bus.

Error conditions
The following are the error conditions which may cause communication to fail.

Bus error (BERR)
This error occurs when the I2C interface detects an external stop or a start condition during
an address or data transfer. In this case:
•

The BERR bit is set and an interrupt is generated if the ITERREN bit is set

•

In the case of the slave: data are discarded and the lines are released by hardware:

•

–

In the case of a misplaced start, the slave considers it is a restart and waits for an
address or a stop condition.

–

In the case of a misplaced stop, the slave reacts in the same way as for a stop
condition and the lines are released by hardware.

In the case of the master: the lines are not released and there is no effect in the state of
the current transmission: software can decide if it wants to abort the current
transmission or not.

Acknowledge failure (AF)
This error occurs when the interface detects a non-acknowledge bit. In this case,
•

The AF bit is set and an interrupt is generated if the ITERREN bit is set

•

A transmitter which receives a NACK must reset the communication:
–

If slave: Lines are released by hardware

–

If master: A stop condition or repeated start must be generated by software

Arbitration lost (ARLO)
This error occurs when the I2C interface detects an arbitration lost condition. In this case,

496/597

•

The ARLO bit is set by hardware (and an interrupt is generated if the ITERREN bit is
set).

•

The I2C interface goes automatically back to slave mode (the MSL bit is cleared)

•

When the I²C loses the arbitration, it is not able to acknowledge its slave address in the
same transfer, but it can acknowledge it after a repeated start from the master.

•

Lines are released by hardware

DocID15226 Rev 14

RM0031

Inter-integrated circuit (I2C) interface

Overrun/underrun error (OVR)
An Overrun error can occur in slave mode when clock stretching is disabled and the I2C
interface is receiving data. The interface has received a byte (RXNE = 1) and the data in DR
has not been read, before the next byte is received by the interface. In this case,
•

The last received byte is lost

•

In case of overrun error, software should clear the RXNE bit and the transmitter should
re-transmit the last received byte.

Underrun error can occur in slave mode when clock stretching is disabled and the I2C
interface is transmitting data. The interface has not updated the DR with the next byte
(TXE=1), before the clock comes for the next byte. In this case,

28.4.4

•

The same byte in the DR register will be sent again

•

The user should make sure that data received on the receiver side during an underrun
error is discarded and that the next bytes are written within the clock low time specified
in the I2C bus standard.

•

For the first byte to be transmitted, the DR must be written after ADDR is cleared and
before the first SCL rising edge. If it is not possible, the receiver must discard the first
data.

SDA/SCL line control
•

•

28.4.5

If clock stretching is enabled:
–

Transmitter mode: If TXE = 1 and BTF = 1: the interface holds the clock line low
before transmission to wait for the microcontroller to read SR1 and then write the
byte in the Data register (both buffer and shift register are empty).

–

Receiver mode: If RXNE = 1 and BTF = 1: the interface holds the clock line low
after reception to wait for the microcontroller to read SR1 and then read the byte in
the Data Register or write to CR2 (both buffer and shift register are full).

If clock stretching is disabled in Slave mode:
–

Overrun error in case of RXNE = 1 and no read of DR has been done before the
next byte is received. The last received byte is lost.

–

Underrun error in case TXE = 1 and no write into DR has been done before the
next byte must be transmitted. The same byte will be sent again.

–

Write Collision not managed.

SMBus
Introduction
The System management bus (SMBus) is a two-wire interface through which various
devices can communicate with each other and with the rest of the system. It is based on I2C
principles of operation. SMBus provides a control bus for system and power management
related tasks. A system may use SMBus to pass messages to and from devices instead of
toggling individual control lines.
The system management bus specification refers to three types of devices. A slave is a
device that is receiving or responding to a command. A master is a device that issues
commands, generates the clocks, and terminates the transfer. A host is a specialized
master that provides the main interface to the system's CPU. A host must be a master-slave
and must support the SMBus host notify protocol. Only one host is allowed in a system.

Logic levels are VDD dependent

Different address types (reserved, dynamic etc.)

7-bit, 10-bit and general call slave address
types

Different bus protocols (quick command, process
call etc.)

No bus protocols

SMBus application usage
With System Management Bus, a device can provide manufacturer information, tell the
system what its model/part number is, save its state for a suspend event, report different
types of errors, accept control parameters, and return its status. SMBus provides a control
bus for system and power management related tasks.

Device identification
Any device that exists on the System Management Bus as a slave has a unique address
called the Slave Address. For the list of reserved slave addresses, refer to the SMBus
specification ver. 2.0 (http://smbus.org/specs/).

Bus protocols
The SMBus specification supports up to 9 bus protocols. For more details of these protocols
and SMBus address types, refer to SMBus specification ver. 2.0 (http://smbus.org/specs/).
These protocols should be implemented by the user software.

498/597

DocID15226 Rev 14

RM0031

Inter-integrated circuit (I2C) interface

Address resolution protocol (ARP)
SMBus slave address conflicts can be resolved by dynamically assigning a new unique
address to each slave device. The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) has the following
attributes:
•

Address assignment uses the standard SMBus physical layer arbitration mechanism

•

Assigned addresses remain constant while device power is applied; address retention
through device power loss is also allowed

•

No additional SMBus packet overhead is incurred after address assignment. (i.e.
subsequent accesses to assigned slave addresses have the same overhead as
accesses to fixed address devices.)

•

Any SMBus master can enumerate the bus

Unique device identifier (UDID)
In order to provide a mechanism to isolate each device for the purpose of address
assignment, each device must implement a unique device identifier (UDID).
For the details on 128 bit UDID and more information on ARP, refer to SMBus specification
ver. 2.0 (http://smbus.org/specs/).

SMBus alert mode
SMBus Alert is an optional signal with an interrupt line for devices that want to trade their
ability to master for a pin. SMBALERT is a wired-AND signal just as the SCL and SDA
signals are. SMBALERT is used in conjunction with the SMBus general call address.
Messages invoked with the SMBus are 2 bytes long.
A slave-only device can signal the host through SMBALERT that it wants to talk by setting
ALERT bit in I2C_CR2 register. The host processes the interrupt and simultaneously
accesses all SMBALERT devices through the Alert response address (known as ARA
having a value 0001 100X). Only the device(s) which pulled SMBALERT low will
acknowledge the Alert Response Address. This status is identified using SMBALERT Status
flag in I2C_SR2 register. The host performs a modified Receive Byte operation. The 7 bit
device address provided by the slave transmit device is placed in the 7 most significant bits
of the byte. The eighth bit can be a zero or one.
If more than one device pulls SMBALERT low, the highest priority (lowest address) device
will win communication rights via standard arbitration during the slave address transfer.
After acknowledging the slave address the device must disengage its SMBALERT pulldown. If the host still sees SMBALERT low when the message transfer is complete, it knows
to read the ARA again.
A host which does not implement the SMBALERT signal may periodically access the ARA.
For more details on SMBus Alert mode, refer to SMBus specification ver. 2.0
(http://smbus.org/specs/).

Timeout error
There are differences in the timing specifications between I2C and SMBus.
SMBus defines a clock low timeout, TIMEOUT of 35 ms. Also SMBus specifies TLOW:
SEXT as the cumulative clock low extend time for a slave device. SMBus specifies TLOW:
MEXT as the cumulative clock low extend time for a master device. For more details on
these timeouts, refer to SMBus specification ver. 2.0 (http://smbus.org/specs/).
The status flag Timeout or Tlow Error in I2C_SR2 shows the status of this feature.

How to use the interface in SMBus mode
To switch from I2C mode to SMBus mode, the following sequence should be performed.
•

Set the SMBus bit in the I2C_CR1 register

•

Configure the SMBTYPE and ENARP bits in the I2C_CR1 register as required for the
application

If you want to configure the device as a master, follow the Start condition generation
procedure in Section 28.4.2: I2C master mode. Otherwise, follow the sequence in
Section 28.4.1: I2C slave mode.
The application has to control the various SMBus protocols by software.

28.4.6

•

SMB Device default address acknowledged if ENARP=1 and SMBTYPE=0

•

SMB Host header acknowledged if ENARP=1 and SMBTYPE=1

•

SMB Alert response address acknowledged if SMBALERT=1

DMA requests
DMA requests (when enabled) are generated only for data transfer. DMA requests are
generated by Data Register becoming empty in transmission and Data Register becoming
full in reception. The DMA must be initialized and enabled before the I2C data transfer.
DMAEN bit must be set in I2C_ITR before the ADDR event. In master mode or in slave
mode when clock stretching is enabled, DMAEN bit can also be set during the ADDR event,
before clearing the ADDR flag. The DMA request must be served before the end of the
current byte transfer. When the number of data transfers which has been programmed for
the corresponding DMA channel is reached, the DMA controller (DMA) sends an End of
Transfer EOT signal to the I2C interface and generates a Transfer complete interrupt if
enabled:

Note:

500/597

•

Master transmitter: In the interrupt routine after the EOT interrupt, disable DMA
requests then wait for a BTF event before programming the Stop condition.

•

Master receiver: When the number of bytes to be received is equal to or greater than 2,
the DMA controller sends a hardware signal EOT_1 corresponding to the last but one
data (number_of_bytes - 1). If, in the I2C_CR2 register, the LAST bit is set, the I2C
automatically sends a NACK after the next byte following EOT_1. The user can
generate a Stop condition in the DMA Transfer complete interrupt routine if enabled.

DMA channel 0 is mapped to I2C for reception and DMA channel 3 is mapped to I2C for
transmission.

DocID15226 Rev 14

RM0031

Inter-integrated circuit (I2C) interface

Transmission using DMA
DMA mode can be enabled for transmission by setting the DMAEN bit in the I2C_ITR
register. Data will be loaded from a memory area configured using the DMA peripheral (refer
to the DMA specification) to the I2C_DR register whenever the TxE bit is set. To map a DMA
channel 3 for I2C transmission, perform the following sequence.
1.

Set the I2C_DR register address in the DMA_C3PARH/L register. The data will be
moved to this address from the memory after each TxE event.

2.

Set the memory address in the DMA_C3M0ARH/L registers. The data will be loaded
into I2C_DR from this memory after each TxE event.

3.

Configure the total number of bytes to be transferred in the DMA_C3NDTR register.
After each TxE event, this value will be decremented.

4.

Configure the channel priority using the PL[0:1] bits in the DMA_C3SPR register

5.

Set the DTD bit and, in the DMA_C3CR register, configure interrupts after half transfer
or full transfer depending on application requirements.

6.

Activate the channel by setting the CE bit in the DMA_C3CR register.

When the number of data transfers which has been programmed in the DMA controller
registers is reached, the DMA controller sends an End of transfer EOT/ EOT_1 signal to the
I2C interface and the DMA generates an interrupt, if enabled, on the DMA channel interrupt
vector.
Note:

Do not enable the ITBUFEN bit in the I2C_ITR register if DMA is used for transmission.

Reception using DMA
DMA mode can be enabled for reception by setting the DMAEN bit in the I2C_ITR register.
Data will be loaded from the I2C_DR register to a memory area configured using the DMA
peripheral whenever a data byte is received. To map a DMA channel 0 for I2C reception,
perform the following sequence.

Note:

1.

Set the I2C_DR register address in DMA_C0PARH/L registers. The data will be moved
from this address to the memory after each RxNE event.

2.

Set the memory address in the DMA_C0M0ARH/L registers. The data will be loaded
from the I2C_DR register to this memory area after each RxNE event.

3.

Configure the total number of bytes to be transferred in the DMA_C0NDTR register.
After each RxNE event, this value will be decremented.

4.

Configure the channel 0 priority using the PL[0:1] bits in the DMA_C0SPR register.

5.

Reset the DTD bit and configure interrupts in the DMA_C0CR register after half
transfer or full transfer depending on application requirements.

6.

Activate the channel 0 by setting the CE bit in the DMA_C0CR register. When the
number of data transfers which has been programmed in the DMA controller registers
is reached, the DMA controller sends an End of Transfer EOT/ EOT_1 signal to the I2C
interface and the DMA generates an interrupt, if enabled, on the DMA channel interrupt
vector.

Do not enable the ITBUFEN bit in the I2C_ITR register if DMA is used for reception.

Packet error checking
A PEC calculator has been implemented to improve the reliability of communication. The
PEC is calculated by using the C(x) = x8 + x2 + x + 1 CRC-8 polynomial serially on each bit.
•

28.5

PEC calculation is enabled by setting the ENPEC bit in the I2C_CR1 register. PEC is a
CRC-8 calculated on all message bytes including addresses and R/W bits.
–

In transmission: set the PEC transfer bit in the I2C_CR1 register after the TxE
event corresponding to the last byte. The PEC will be transferred after the last
transmitted byte.

–

In reception: set the PEC bit in the I2C_CR2 register after the RxNE event
corresponding to the last byte so that the receiver sends a NACK if the next
received byte is not equal to the internally calculated PEC. PEC must be set
before the ACK pulse of the current byte reception. In case of Master-Receiver, a
NACK must follow the PEC whatever the check result.

•

A PECERR error flag/interrupt is also available in the I2C_SR2 register.

•

If DMA and PEC calculation are both enabled:–

In transmission: when the I2C interface receives an EOT signal from the DMA
controller, it automatically sends a PEC after the last byte.

–

In reception: when the I2C interface receives an EOT_1 signal from the DMA
controller, it will automatically consider the next byte as a PEC and will check it. A
DMA request is generated after PEC reception.

•

To allow intermediate PEC transfers, a control bit is available in the I2C_ITR register
(LAST bit) to determine if it is really the last DMA transfer or not. If it is the last DMA
request for a master receiver, a NACK is automatically sent after the last received byte.

•

PEC calculation is corrupted by an arbitration loss.

I2C low power modes
Table 89. I2C interface behavior in low power modes(1)
Mode
Wait

Description
No effect on I2C interface.
I2C interrupts cause the device to exit from Wait mode.

In slave mode: Communication is reset, except for configuration registers. Device is in
slave mode.
Wakeup from Halt interrupt is generated if ITEVTEN = 1 and address matched (including
allowed headers).
The matched address is not acknowledged in Halt mode so the master has to send it
again when the CPU is woken up to receive an acknowledge.
Halt/Acti If NOSTRETCH = 0, SCLH will be stretched after acknowledge pulse in Halt mode until
ve-halt WUFH is cleared by software;
None of the flags are set by the address which wakes up the CPU.
In master mode: Communication is frozen until the CPU is woken up. Wakeup from Halt
flag and interrupt are generated if ITEVTEN=1 and there is a HALT instruction.

Note:

It is forbidden to enter Halt mode while a communication is on
going.

1. I2C cannot operate at low power run and low power wait modes due to low PCLK frequency.

Bits 7:0 DR[7:0]: Data register (1)(2)(3)
Byte received or to be transmitted to the bus.
– Transmitter mode: Byte transmission starts automatically when a byte is written in the DR register. A
continuous transmit stream can be maintained if the next data to be transmitted is put in DR once
the transmission is started (TXE=1)
– Receiver mode: Received byte is copied into DR (RXNE=1). A continuous transmit stream can be
maintained if DR is read before the next data is received (RXNE=1).
1. In slave mode, the address is not copied into DR.
2. Write collision is not managed (DR can be written if TXE=0).
3.

If an ARLO event occurs on ACK pulse, the received byte is not copied into DR and so cannot be read.

7. The ADD10 bit is not set after a NACK reception.
8. The BTF bit is not set after a NACK reception, or in case of an ARLO event.
9. Due to timing constraints, when in standard mode if CCR is less than 9 (i.e. with peripheral clock below 2 MHz) with
fSYSCLK = fCPU and the event interrupt disabled, the following procedure must be followed:
modify the reset sequence in order to insert at least 5 cycles between each operations in the flag clearing sequence. For
example, when fSYSCLK = fCPU = 1 MHz, use the following sequence to poll the SB bit:
_label_wait: BTJF I2C_SR1,SB,_label_wait
NOP ;

Reading I2C_SR3 after reading I2C_SR1 clears the ADDR flag, even if the ADDR flag was
set after reading I2C_SR1. Consequently, I2C_SR3 must be read only when ADDR is found
set in I2C_SR1 or when the STOPF bit is cleared.

These bits should provide the maximum duration of the SCL feedback loop in master mode. The
purpose is to keep a stable SCL frequency whatever the SCL rising edge duration.
These bits must be programmed with the maximum SCL rise time given in the I2C bus specification,
incremented by 1.
For instance: in standard mode, the maximum allowed SCL rise time is 1000 ns.
If the value in the I2C_FREQR register = 08h, then tMASTER = 125 ns therefore the TRISE[5:0] bits
must be programmed with 0x09.
(1000 ns / 125 ns = 8 + 1)
The filter value can also be added to TRISE[5:0].
If the result is not an integer, TRISE[5:0] must be programmed with the integer part, in order to
respect the tHIGH parameter.
Note: TRISE[5:0] must be configured only when the I2C is disabled (PE = 0).

USART introduction
The USART (universal synchronous asynchronous receiver transmitter) offers a flexible
means of full-duplex data exchange with external equipment requiring an industry standard
NRZ asynchronous serial data format. It offers a very wide range of baud rates.
The USART supports synchronous one-way communication and half-duplex single wire
communication. Smartcard Protocol and IrDA (infrared data association) SIR ENDEC
specifications are also supported. The USART can also be used for multiprocessor
communication. High-speed data communication is possible by using the DMA for
multibuffer configuration.

USART functional description
The interface is externally connected to another device by three pins (see Figure 152). Any
USART bidirectional communication requires a minimum of two pins: USART Receive data
input (USART_RX) and USART transmit data output (USART_TX):
USART_RX is the serial data input. Over-sampling techniques are used for data recovery
by discriminating between valid incoming data and noise.
USART_TX is the serial data output. When the transmitter is disabled, the output pin returns
to its I/O port configuration. When the transmitter is enabled and nothing is to be
transmitted, the pin is at high level.
Through these pins, serial data is transmitted and received in normal USART mode as
frames including:
•

An Idle Line prior to transmission or reception

•

A start bit

•

A data word (8 or 9 bits) least significant bit first

•

1, 1.5 and 2 STOP bits indicating that the frame is complete

•

A status register (USART_SR)

•

Data register (USART_DR)

•

16-bit baud rate prescaler (USART_BRR)

•

Guard time register for use in Smartcard mode

Refer to the register description for the definitions of each bit.
The following pin is required to interface in synchronous mode:
USART_CK: Transmitter clock output. This pin outputs the transmitter data clock for
synchronous transmission (no clock pulses on start bit and STOP bit, and a software
option to send a clock pulse on the last data bit). This can be used to control
peripherals that have shift registers (e.g. LCD drivers). The clock phase and polarity
are software programmable. In Smartcard mode, USART_CK can provide the clock to
the Smartcard.
The USART_RX and USART_TX pins are used in IrDA mode as follows:
USART_RX = IrDA_RDI: Receive Data Input in IrDA mode
USART_TX = IrDA_TDO: Transmit Data Output in IrDA mode

29.3.1

Universal synchronous/asynchronous receiver transmitter (USART)

USART character description
Word length may be selected as being either 8 or 9 bits by programming the M bit in the
USART_CR1 register (see Figure 153).
The USART_TX pin is in low state during the start bit. It is in high state during the STOP bit.
An Idle character is interpreted as an entire frame of “1”s (the number of “1” ‘s includes the
start bit, the number of data bits and the number of STOP bits).
A Break character is interpreted on receiving “0”s for a frame period. At the end of the
break frame the transmitter inserts either 1 or 2 STOP bits (logic “1” bit) to acknowledge the
start bit.
Transmission and reception are driven by a common baud rate generator, the clock for each
is generated when the enable bit is set respectively for the transmitter and receiver.
The details of each block is given below.

RM0031

Transmitter
The transmitter can send data words of either 8 or 9 bits depending on the M bit status.
When the M bit is set, word length is 9 bits and the 9th bit (the MSB) has to be stored in the
T8 bit in the USART_CR1 register.
When the transmit enable bit (TEN) is set, the data in the transmit shift register is output on
the USART_TX pin and the corresponding clock pulses are output on the USART_CK pin.

Character transmission
During a USART transmission, data shifts out least significant bit first on the USART_TX
pin. In this mode, the USART_DR register consists of a buffer (TDR) between the internal
bus and the transmit shift register (see Figure 152).
Every character is preceded by a start bit which is a logic level low for one bit period. The
character is terminated by a configurable number of STOP bits.
The following STOP bits are supported by USART.
Note:

1

The TEN bit should not be reset during transmission of data.Resetting the TEN bit during
the transmission will corrupt the data on the USART_TX pin as the baud rate counters will
get frozen.The current data being transmitted will be lost.

2

An idle frame will be sent after the TEN bit is enabled.

Configurable STOP bits during transmission
The number of STOP bits to be transmitted with every character can be programmed in
Control register 3, bits 5,4.
•

1 STOP bit: This is the default value of number of STOP bits.

•

2 STOP bits: This will be supported by normal mode USART.

•

1.5 STOP bits: To be used in Smartcard mode.

An idle frame transmission will include the STOP bits.
A break transmission consists of 10 low bits followed by the configured number of STOP bits
(when m = 0) and 11 low bits followed by the configured number of STOP bits (when m = 1).
It is not possible to transmit long breaks (break of length greater than 10/11 low bits).

Procedure
1.

Program the M bit in USART_CR1 to define the word length.

2.

Program the number of STOP bits in USART_CR3.

3.

Select DMA enable (DMAT) in USART_CR5 if Multibuffer communication is to take
place. Configure the DMA register as explained in Section 29.3.12: Continuous
communication using DMA on page 545.

4.

Select the desired baud rate by programming the baud rate registers in the following
order:
a)

USART_BRR2

b)

USART_BRR1

5.

Set the TEN bit in USART_CR2 to enable transmitter mode.

6.

Write the data to send in the USART_DR register (this clears the TXE bit). Repeat this
for each data to be transmitted in case of single buffer.

7.

Once the last data is written to the USART_DR register, wait until TC is set to ‘1’, which
indicates that the last data transmission is complete. This last step is required, for
instance, to avoid last data transmission corruption when disabling the USART or
entering Halt mode.

Single byte communication
Clearing the TXE bit is always performed by a write to the data register.

DocID15226 Rev 14

527/597
558

Universal synchronous/asynchronous receiver transmitter (USART)

RM0031

The TXE bit is set by hardware and it indicates:
•

The data has been moved from TDR to the shift register and the data transmission has
started.

•

The TDR register is empty.

•

The next data can be written in the USART_DR register without overwriting the
previous data.

This flag generates an interrupt if the TIEN bit is set.
When a transmission is taking place, a write instruction to the USART_DR register stores
the data in the TDR register. The data is copied in the shift register at the end of the current
transmission.
When no transmission is taking place, a write instruction to the USART_DR register places
the data directly in the shift register, the data transmission starts, and the TXE bit is
immediately set.
If a frame transmission is complete (after the stop bit) and the TXE bit is set, the TC bit is
set. An interrupt is generated if the TCIEN is set in the USART_CR2 register. After writing
the last data into the USART_DR register, it is mandatory to wait until TC is set to ‘1’ before
entering Halt mode or disabling the USART (see Figure 155: TC/TXE behavior when
transmitting).
Clearing the TC bit is performed by the following software sequence:

Note:

1.

A read to the USART_SR register

2.

A write to the USART_DR register

The TC bit can also be cleared by writing a ‘0’ to it. This clearing sequence is recommended
only for multibuffer communication.

1. This example assumes that several other transmissions occurred after TE has been set. Otherwise an
IDLE preamble would be transmitted first when writing to USART_DR for the first time.

Break character
Setting the SBK bit transmits a break character. The break frame length depends on the M
bit (see Figure 153).

528/597

DocID15226 Rev 14

RM0031

Universal synchronous/asynchronous receiver transmitter (USART)
If the SBK bit is set to ‘1’ a break character is sent on the USART_TX line after completing
the current character transmission. This bit is reset by hardware when the break character is
completed (during the STOP bit of the break character).The USART inserts a logic 1 bit at
the end of the last break frame to guarantee the recognition of the start bit of the next frame.

Note:

The break character is sent without taking into account the number of STOP bits. If the
USART is programmed with 2 STOP bits, the Tx line is pulled low until the end of the first
STOP bit only. Then 2 logic 1 bits are inserted before the next character.

Note:

If the software resets the SBK bit before the start of break transmission, the break character
is not transmitted. For two consecutive breaks, the SBK bit should be set after the STOP bit
of the previous break.

Idle character
Setting the TEN bit drives the USART to send an idle frame before the first data frame.

29.3.3

Receiver
The USART can receive data words of either 8 or 9 bits. When the M bit is set, word length
is 9 bits and the MSB is stored in the R8 bit in the USART_CR1 register.

Start bit detection
In the USART, the start bit is detected when a specific sequence of samples is recognized.
This sequence is: 1 1 1 0 X 0 X 0X 0X 0 X 0X 0. The start bit detection sequence shown in
Figure 156.
Figure 156. Start bit detection

Note:

If the sequence is not complete, the start bit detection aborts and the receiver returns to the
idle state (no flag is set), where it waits for a falling edge.
If only 2 out of the 3 bits are at 0 (sampling on the 3rd, 5th and 7th bits or sampling on the 8th,
9th and 10th bits), the start bit is validated but the NF noise flag bit is set.

DocID15226 Rev 14

529/597
558

Universal synchronous/asynchronous receiver transmitter (USART)

RM0031

The start bit is confirmed if the last 3 samples are at 0 (sampling on the 8th, 9th, and 10th
bits.

Character reception
During a USART reception, data shifts in least significant bit first through the USART_RX
pin. In this mode, the USART_DR register consists of a buffer (RDR) between the internal
bus and the received shift register (see Figure 2).
Procedure:
1.

Program the M bit in USART_CR1 to define the word length.

2.

Program the number of STOP bits in USART_CR3.

3.

Select DMA enable (DMAR) in USART_CR5 if multibuffer communication is to take
place. Configure the DMA register as explained in Section 29.3.12: Continuous
communication using DMA on page 545.

4.

Select the desired baud rate by programming the baud rate registers in the following
order:

5.

a)

USART_BRR2

b)

USART_BRR1

Set the REN bit USART_CR2. This enables the receiver which begins searching for a
start bit.

When a character is received

Note:

•

The RXNE bit is set. It indicates that the content of the shift register is transferred to the
RDR.

•

An interrupt is generated if the RIEN bit is set.

•

The error flags can be set if a frame error, noise or an overrun error has been detected
during reception.

•

In multibuffer, the RXNE bit is set after every byte received and is cleared by the DMA
read to the Data Register.

•

In single buffer mode, clearing the RXNE bit is performed by a software read to the
USART_DR register. The RXNE flag can also be cleared by writing a zero to it. The
RXNE bit must be cleared before the end of the reception of the next character to avoid
an overrun error.

The REN bit should not be reset while receiving data. If the REN bit is disabled during
reception, the reception of the current byte will be aborted.

Break character
When a break character is received, the USART handles it as a framing error.

Idle character
When an idle frame is detected, there is the same procedure as a received data character
plus an interrupt if the ILIEN bit is set.

Overrun error
An overrun error occurs when a character is received when RXNE has not been reset. Data
can not be transferred from the shift register to the RDR register until the RXNE bit is
cleared.

530/597

DocID15226 Rev 14

RM0031

Universal synchronous/asynchronous receiver transmitter (USART)
The RXNE flag is set after every byte received. An overrun error occurs if RXNE flag is set
when the next data is received or the previous DMA request has not been serviced.When
an overrun error occurs:
•

The OR bit is set.

•

The RDR content will not be lost. The previous data is available when a read to
USART_DR is performed.

•

The shift register will be overwritten. The second data received during overrun is lost.

•

An interrupt is generated if the RIEN bit is set or both the EIE and DMAR bits are set.

•

The OR bit is reset by a read to the USART_SR register followed by a USART_DR
register read operation.

Over-sampling techniques are used for data recovery by discriminating between valid
incoming data and noise.

When noise is detected in a frame:

Universal synchronous/asynchronous receiver transmitter (USART)

RM0031

This bit rises at the same time as the RXNE bit which generates an interrupt. The NF bit is
reset by a USART_SR register read operation followed by a USART_DR register read
operation.

Framing error
A framing error is detected when:
The STOP bit is not recognized on reception at the expected time, following either a desynchronization or excessive noise.
When the framing error is detected:
•

The FE bit is set by hardware

•

The invalid data is transferred from the Shift register to the USART_DR register.

•

No interrupt is generated in case of single byte communication. However, this bit rises
at the same time as the RXNE bit which itself generates an interrupt.

The FE bit is reset by a USART_SR register read operation followed by a USART_DR
register read operation.

Configurable STOP bits during reception
The number of STOP bits to be received can be configured through the control bits of
Control Register 3 - it can be either 1 or 2 in normal mode, 1 in IrDA mode and 1.5 in
Smartcard mode.

29.3.4

1.

1 STOP bit: Sampling for 1 STOP bit is done on the 8th, 9th and 10th samples.

2.

1.5 STOP bits (Smartcard mode only): Sampling for 1.5 STOP bits is done on the
16th,17th and 18th samples. An NACK signal received from the Smartcard forces the
data signal low during the sampling, flagged as a framing error. Then, the FE flag is set
with the RXNE at the end of the 1.5 STOP bit.

3.

2 STOP bits: Sampling for 2 STOP bits is done on the 8th, 9th and 10th samples of the
first STOP bit.If a framing error is detected during the first STOP bit the framing error
flag will be set. The second STOP bit is not checked for framing error. The RXNE flag
will be set at the end of the first STOP bit.

High precision baud rate generator
The receiver and transmitter (Rx and Tx) are both set to the same baud rate programmed by
a 16-bit divider USART_DIV according to the following formula:
Tx/ Rx baud rate =

fSYSCLK
USART_DIV

The USART_DIV baud rate divider is an unsigned integer, coded in the BRR1 and BRR2
registers as shown in Figure 158.
Refer to Table 94 for typical baud rate programming examples.

Universal synchronous/asynchronous receiver transmitter (USART)

USART receiver’s tolerance to clock deviation
The USART’s asynchronous receiver works correctly only if the total clock system deviation
is smaller than the USART receiver’s tolerance. The causes which contribute to the total
deviation are:
•

DTRA: Deviation due to the transmitter error (which also includes the deviation of the
transmitter’s local oscillator)

•

DQUANT: Error due to the baud rate quantization of the receiver

•

DREC: Deviation of the receiver’s local oscillator

•

DTCL: Deviation due to the transmission line (generally due to the transceivers which
can introduce an asymmetry between the low-to-high transition timing and the high-tolow transition timing)

DTRA + DQUANT + DREC + DTCL < USART receiver’s tolerance
The USART receiver’s tolerance to properly receive data is equal to the maximum tolerated
deviation and depends on the following choices:
•

10- or 11-bit character length defined by the M bit in the USART_CR1 register

•

Use of fractional baud rate or not

29.3.6

Parity control
Parity control (generation of parity bit in transmission and parity checking in reception) can
be enabled by setting the PCEN bit in the USART_CR1 register. Depending on the frame
length defined by the M bit, the possible USART frame formats are as listed in Table 99.

Note:

In case of wakeup by an address mark, the MSB bit of the data is taken into account and not
the parity bit
Even parity: the parity bit is calculated to obtain an even number of “1s” inside the frame
made of the 7 or 8 LSB bits (depending on whether M is equal to 0 or 1) and the parity bit.
Ex: data=00110101; 4 bits set => parity bit will be 0 if even parity is selected (PS bit in
USART_CR1 = 0).
Odd parity: the parity bit is calculated to obtain an odd number of “1s” inside the frame
made of the 7 or 8 LSB bits (depending on whether M is equal to 0 or 1) and the parity bit.
Example: data=00110101; 4 bits set => parity bit will be 1 if odd parity is selected (PS bit in
USART_CR1 = 1).
Transmission: If the PCEN bit is set in USART_CR1 then the MSB bit of the data written in
the data register is not transmitted but is changed by the parity bit to give an even number of
‘1’s if even parity is selected (PS=0) or an odd number of ‘1’s if odd parity is selected
(PS=1).
Reception: If the parity check fails, the PE flag is set in the USART_SR register and an
interrupt is generated if the PIEN bit is set in the USART_CR1 register.

29.3.7

Universal synchronous/asynchronous receiver transmitter (USART)

Multi-processor communication
It is possible to perform multiprocessor communication with the USART (several USARTs
connected in a network). For example, one of the USARTs can be the master, its Tx output
is connected to the Rx input of the other USART. The others are slaves, their respective Tx
outputs are logically ANDed together and connected to the Rx input of the master.
In multiprocessor configurations it is often desirable that only the intended message
recipient should actively receive the full message contents, thus reducing redundant USART
service overhead for all non addressed receivers.
The non addressed devices may be placed in mute mode by means of the muting function.
In mute mode:
•

None of the reception status bits can be set.

•

All the receive interrupts are inhibited.

•

The RWU bit in USART_CR2 register is set to 1. RWU can be controlled automatically
by hardware or written by the software under certain conditions.

The USART can enter or exit from mute mode using one of two methods, depending on the
WAKE bit in the USART_CR1 register:
•

Idle Line detection if the WAKE bit is reset,

•

Address Mark detection if the WAKE bit is set.

Idle line detection (WAKE=0)
The USART enters mute mode when the RWU bit is written to 1.
It wakes up when an Idle frame is detected. Then the RWU bit is cleared by hardware but
the IDLE bit is not set in the USART_SR register. RWU can also be written to 0 by software.
An example of mute mode behavior using idle line detection is given in Figure 159.

Address mark detection (WAKE=1)
In this mode, bytes are recognized as addresses if their MSB is a ‘1’ else they are
considered as data. In an address byte, the address of the targeted receiver is put on the 4
LSB. This 4-bit word is compared by the receiver with its own address which is programmed
in the ADD bits in the USART_CR4 register.
The USART enters mute mode when an address character is received which does not
match its programmed address. The RXNE flag is not set for this address byte and no
interrupt nor DMA request is issued as the USART would have entered mute mode.

It exits from mute mode when an address character is received which matches the
programmed address. Then the RWU bit is cleared and subsequent bytes are received
normally. The RXNE bit is set for the address character since the RWU bit has been
cleared.
The RWU bit can be written to 0 or 1 when the receiver buffer contains no data (RXNE=0 in
the USART_SR register). Otherwise the write attempt is ignored.
An example of mute mode behavior using address mark detection is given in Figure 160.

where:

29.3.8

USART synchronous communication
The USART transmitter allows the user to control bidirectional synchronous serial
communications in master mode.

Note:

This feature is only available for devices with USART_CK pin. Check the device pinout for
availability.
The USART_CK pin is the output of the USART transmitter clock. No clock pulses are sent
to the USART_CK pin during start bit and STOP bit. Depending on the state of the LBCL bit
in the USART_CR3 register clock pulses will or will not be generated during the last valid
data bit (address mark). The CPOL bit in the USART_CR3 register allows the user to select
the clock polarity, and the CPHA bit in the USART_CR3 register allows the user to select the
phase of the external clock (see Figure 161, Figure 162 & Figure 163). USART_CKDuring
the idle state, preamble phase and break transmission, the external USART_CK clock is not
activated. In synchronous mode, the USART transmitter works exactly like in asynchronous
mode. But as USART_CK is synchronized with USART_TX (depending on CPOL and
CPHA), the data on USART_TX is synchronous. In this mode, the USART receiver works
slightly differently compared to the asynchronous mode: if REN=1, the data is still sampled
using the internal oversampling clock and the baud rate clock is output on the USART_CK

538/597

DocID15226 Rev 14

RM0031

Universal synchronous/asynchronous receiver transmitter (USART)
pin (rising or falling edge is aligned with the data sampling event depending on CPOL and
CPHA). But contrary to asynchronous mode, the data is evaluated using one sample and
not the majority of 3 samples, meaning that the NF bit will never be set.
Setup and hold times must be respected (depending on the baud rate: 1/16 bit time for an
integer baud rate).

Note:

1

The USART_CK pin works in conjunction with the TX pin. Consequently, the clock is
provided only if the transmitter is enabled (TEN=1) and a data is being transmitted (the data
register USART_DR has been written). This means that it is not possible to receive a
synchronous data without transmitting data.

2

The LBCL, CPOL and CPHA bits in USART_CR3 have to be selected when both the
transmitter and the receiver are disabled (TEN=REN=0) to ensure that the clock pulses
function correctly. These bits should not be changed while the transmitter or the receiver is
enabled.

3

It is recommended to set TEN and REN are set in the same instruction in order to minimize
the setup and the hold time of the receiver.

4

The USART supports master mode only: it cannot receive or send data related to an input
clock (USART_CK is always an output).

5

The data given in this section apply only when the USART_DIV[3:0] bits in the
USART_BRR2 register are kept at 0. Else the setup and hold times are not 1/16 of a bit time
but 4/16 of a bit time.
This option allows to serially control peripherals which consist of shift registers, without
losing any functions of the asynchronous communication which can still talk to other
asynchronous transmitters and receivers.

29.3.9

Universal synchronous/asynchronous receiver transmitter (USART)

Single wire half duplex communication
The USART can be configured to follow a single wire half duplex protocol. Single-wire halfduplex mode is selected by setting the HDSEL bit in the USART_CR5 register. In this mode,
the following bits must be kept cleared:
•

CLKEN bit in the USART_CR3 register

•

SCEN and IREN bits in the USART_CR5 register

As soon as HDSEL is set:
•

USART_RX is no longer used

•

USART_TX is always released when no data is transmitted. Thus, it acts as a standard
I/O in idle or in reception. This means that the I/O must be configured so that
USART_TX is configured as floating input (or output high open-drain) when not driven
by the USART.

Apart from this, the communications are similar to what is done in normal USART mode.
The conflicts on the line must be managed by the software (by the use of a centralized
arbiter, for instance). In particular, the transmission is never blocked by hardware and
continue to occur as soon as a data is written in the data register while the TEN bit is set.

29.3.10

Smartcard
Smartcard mode is selected by setting the SCEN bit in the USART_CR5 register. In
smartcard mode, the following bits must be kept cleared:
•

HDSEL and IREN bits in the USART_CR5 register.

Moreover, the CKEN bit may be set in order to provide a clock to the smartcard.
The Smartcard interface is designed to support asynchronous protocol Smartcards as
defined in the ISO7816-3 standard. The USART should be configured as eight bits plus
parity and 1.5 STOP bits. With Smartcard mode enabled (which can be done by setting the
SCEN bit in the USART_CR5) the USART can communication with an asynchronous
Smartcard.

When connected to a smartcard, the USART_TX output drives a bidirectional line that is
also driven by the smartcard.
Smartcard is a single wire half duplex communication protocol.
•

Transmission of data from the transmit shift register is guaranteed to be delayed by a
minimum of 1/2 baud clock. In normal operation a full transmit shift register will start
shifting on the next baud clock edge. In Smartcard mode this transmission is further
delayed by a guaranteed 1/2 baud clock.

•

If a parity error is detected during reception of a frame programmed with a 1.5 STOP bit
period, the transmit line is pulled low for a baud clock period after 1/2 baud clock

period. This is to indicate to the Smartcard that the data transmitted to the USART has
not been correctly received. This NACK signal (pulling transmit line low for 1 baud
clock) will cause a framing error on the transmitter side (configured with 1.5 STOP bits).
The application can handle re-sending of data according to the protocol. A parity error
is ‘NACK’ed by the receiver if the NACK control bit is set, otherwise a NACK is not
transmitted.
•

The TEN bit must be set to enable:
–

Data transmission

–

Transmission of acknowledgements in case of parity error.
Software must manage the timing of data transmission to avoid conflicts on the
data line when it writes new data in the data register.

•

Note:

The REN bit must be set to enable:
–

Data reception (sent by the Smartcard as well as by the USART),

–

Detection of acknowledgements in case of parity error.

•

The assertion of the TC flag can be delayed by programming the Guard Time register.
In normal operation, TC is asserted when the transmit shift register is empty and no
further transmit requests are outstanding. In Smartcard mode an empty transmit shift
register triggers the guard time counter to count up to the programmed value in the
Guard Time register. TC is forced low during this time. When the guard time counter
reaches the programmed value TC is asserted high.

•

The de-assertion of TC flag is unaffected by Smartcard mode.

•

If a framing error is detected on the transmitter end (due to a NACK from the receiver),
the NACK will not be detected as a start bit by the receive block of the transmitter.
According to the ISO protocol, the duration of the received NACK can be 1 or 2 baud
clock periods.

•

On the receiver side, if a parity error is detected and a NACK is transmitted the receiver
will not detect the NACK as a start bit.

•

The output enable signal for the Smartcard I/O enables driving into a bidirectional line
which is also driven by the Smartcard. This signal is active while transmitting the start
and data bits and transmitting NACK. While transmitting the STOP bits this signal is
disabled, so that the USART weakly drives a ‘1’ on the bidirectional line.

1

A break character is not significant in Smartcard mode. A 00h data with a framing error will
be treated as data and not as a break.

2

No IDLE frame is transmitted when toggling the TEN bit. The IDLE frame (as defined for the
other configurations) is not defined by the ISO protocol.
Figure 166 details how the NACK signal is sampled by the USART. In this example the
USART is transmitting a data and is configured with 1.5 STOP bits. The receiver part of the
USART is enabled in order to check the integrity of the data and the NACK signal.

The USART can provide a clock to the smartcard through the USART_CK output. In
smartcard mode, USART_CK is not associated to the communication but is simply derived
from the internal peripheral input clock through a 5-bit prescaler. The division ratio is
configured in the prescaler register USART_PSCR. USART_CK frequency can be
programmed from fSYSCLK/2 to fSYSCLK/62, where fSYSCLK is the peripheral input clock.

29.3.11

IrDA SIR ENDEC block
IrDA mode is selected by setting the IREN bit in the USART_CR5 register. The STOP bits in
the USART_CR3 register must be configured to “1 STOP bit”. In IrDA mode, the following
bits must be kept cleared:
•

STOP and CKEN bits in the USART_CR3 register,

•

SCEN and HDSEL bits in the USART_CR5 register.

The IrDA SIR physical layer specifies use of a Return to Zero, Inverted (RZI) modulation
scheme that represents logic 0 as an infrared light pulse (see Figure 167).
The SIR Transmit encoder modulates the Non Return to Zero (NRZ) transmit bit stream
output from the USART. The output pulse stream is transmitted to an external output driver
and infrared LED. The USART supports only bit rates up to 115.2 kbps for the SIR ENDEC.
In normal mode the transmitted pulse width is specified as 3/16 of a bit period.
The SIR receive decoder demodulates the return-to-zero bit stream from the infrared
detector and outputs the received NRZ serial bit stream to USART. The decoder input is
normally HIGH (marking state) in the idle state. The transmit encoder output has the
opposite polarity to the decoder input. A start bit is detected when the decoder input is low.
•

IrDA is a half duplex communication protocol. If the Transmitter is busy (i.e. the USART
is sending data to the IrDA encoder), any data on the IrDA receive line will be ignored
by the IrDA decoder and if the Receiver is busy (USART is receiving decoded data
from the USART), data on the TX from the USART to IrDA will not be encoded by IrDA.

DocID15226 Rev 14

543/597
558

Universal synchronous/asynchronous receiver transmitter (USART)

RM0031

While receiving data, transmission should be avoided as the data to be transmitted
could be corrupted.
•

A ’0’ is transmitted as a high pulse and a ’1’ is transmitted as a ’0’. The width of the
pulse is specified as 3/16th of the selected bit period in normal mode (see Figure 168).

•

The SIR decoder converts the IrDA compliant receive signal into a bit stream for
USART.

•

The SIR receive logic interprets a high state as a logic one and low pulses as logic
zeros.

•

The transmit encoder output has the opposite polarity to the decoder input. The SIR
output is in low state when idle.

•

The IrDA specification requires the acceptance of pulses greater than 1.41 µs. The
acceptable pulse width is programmable. Glitch detection logic on the receiver end
filters out pulses of width less than 2 PSC periods (PSC is the prescaler value
programmed in USART_PSCR). Pulses of width less than 1 PSC period are always
rejected, but those of width greater than one and less than two periods may be
accepted or rejected, those greater than 2 periods will be accepted as a pulse. The
IrDA encoder/decoder doesn’t work when PSC=0.

•

The receiver can communicate with a low power transmitter.

•

In IrDA mode, the STOP bits in the USART_CR2 register must be configured to “1
STOP bit”.

IrDA low power mode
The IrDA can be used either in normal mode or in Low Power mode. The Low Power mode
is selected by setting the IRLP bit in USART_CR5 register.
Transmitter:
In low power mode the pulse width is not maintained at 3/16 of the bit period. Instead, the
width of the pulse is 3 times the low power baud rate which can be a minimum of 1.42 MHz.
Generally this value is 1.8432 MHz (1.42 MHz < PSC< 2.12 MHz). A low power mode
programmable divisor divides the system clock to achieve this value.
Receiver:
Receiving in low power mode is similar to receiving in normal mode. For glitch detection the
USART should discard pulses of duration shorter than 1/PSC. A valid low is accepted only if
its duration is greater than 2 periods of the IrDA low power Baud clock (PSC value in
USART_PSCR).
Note:

544/597

1

A pulse of width less than two and greater than one PSC period(s) may or may not be
rejected.

2

The receiver set up time should be managed by software. The IrDA physical layer
specification specifies a minimum of 10 ms delay between transmission and reception (IrDA
is a half duplex protocol).

Continuous communication using DMA
The USART is capable to continue communication using the DMA. The DMA requests for
Rx buffer and Tx buffer are generated independently.

Note:

You should refer to product specs for availability of the DMA controller. If DMA is not
available in the product, you should use the USART as explained in Section 29.3.2 or
29.3.3. In the USART_SR register, you can clear the TXE/ RXNE flags to achieve
continuous communication.

Transmission using DMA
DMA mode can be enabled for transmission by setting DMAT bit in the USART_CR5
register. Data is loaded from a SRAM area configured using the DMA peripheral (refer to the
DMA specification) to the USART_DR register whenever the TXE bit is set. To map a DMA
channel for USART transmission, use the following procedure (x denotes the channel
number):

1.

Write the USART_DR register address in the DMA control register to configure it as the
destination of the transfer. The data will be moved to this address from memory after
each TXE event.

2.

Write the memory address in the DMA control register to configure it as the source of
the transfer. The data will be loaded into the USART_DR register from this memory
area after each TXE event.

3.

Configure the total number of bytes to be transferred to the DMA control register.

4.

Configure the channel priority in the DMA register

5.

Configure DMA interrupt generation after half/ full transfer as required by the
application.

6.

Clear the TC bit in the SR register by writing 0 to it.

7.

Activate the channel in the DMA register.

When the DMA has written all the data to be transmitted (flag TCIF is set in the DMA_ISR
register), the TC flag can be monitored to ensure that the USART communication is
complete. This is required to avoid corrupting the last transmission before disabling the
USART or entering Halt or Active-halt modes. The software must first wait until TxE is set to
1 and then wait until TC is set to 1.
When the number of data transfers programmed in the DMA Controller is reached, the DMA
controller generates an interrupt on the DMA channel interrupt vector.
Note:

If DMA is used for transmission, do not enable the TIEN bit.

peripheral (refer to the DMA specification) whenever a data byte is received. To map a DMA
channel for USART reception, use the following procedure:
1.

Write the USART_DR register address in the DMA control register to configure it as the
source of the transfer. The data will be moved from this address to the memory after
each RXNE event.

2.

Write the memory address in the DMA control register to configure it as the destination

5.

When the number of data transfers programmed in the DMA Controller is reached, the DMA
controller generates an interrupt on the DMA channel interrupt vector. The DMAR bit should
be cleared by software in the USART_CR5 register during the interrupt subroutine.

Error flagging and interrupt generation in multibuffer communication
In case of multibuffer communication if any error occurs during the transaction the error flag
will be asserted after the current byte. An interrupt will be generated if the interrupt enable
flag is set. For framing error, overrun error and noise flag which are asserted with RXNE in
case of single byte reception, there will be separate error flag interrupt enable bit (EIE bit in
the USART_CR5 register), which if set will issue an interrupt after the current byte with
either of these errors.

Bit 7 TXE: Transmit data register empty
This bit is set by hardware when the content of the TDR register has been transferred into the shift
register. An interrupt is generated if the TIEN bit =1 in the USART_CR2 register. It is cleared by a write
to the USART_DR register.
0: Data is not transferred to the shift register
1: Data is transferred to the shift register
Bit 6 TC: Transmission complete
TC bit is set by hardware if the transmission of a frame containing data is complete and TXE bit is set.
An interrupt is generated if TCIEN=1 in the USART_CR2 register.
TC bit is cleared either by a software sequence (a read to the USART_SR register followed by a write
to the USART_DR register), or by programming the bit to ‘0’. This clear sequence is recommended
only for multibuffer communications.
0: Transmission is not complete
1: Transmission is complete
Bit 5 RXNE: Read data register not empty
This bit is set by hardware when the content of the RDR shift register has been transferred to the
USART_DR register. An interrupt is generated if RIEN=1 in the USART_CR2 register. It is cleared by
a read to the USART_DR register.
0: Data is not received
1: Received data is ready to be read.

Bit 4 IDLE: IDLE line detected (1)
This bit is set by hardware when an Idle Line is detected. An interrupt is generated if the ILIEN=1 in
the USART_CR2 register. It is cleared by a software sequence (a read to the USART_SR register
followed by a read to the USART_DR register).
0: No Idle Line is detected
1: Idle Line is detected
Bit 3 OR: Overrun error(2)
This bit is set by hardware when the word currently being received in the shift register is ready to be
transferred into the RDR register while RXNE=1. An interrupt is generated if RIEN=1 in the
USART_CR2 register. It is cleared by a software sequence (a read to the USART_SR register
followed by a read to the USART_DR register).
0: No Overrun error
1: Overrun error is detected
Bit 2 NF: Noise flag (3)
This bit is set by hardware when noise is detected on a received frame. It is cleared by a software
sequence (a read to the USART_SR register followed by a read to the USART_DR register).
0: No noise is detected
1: Noise is detected
Bit 1 FE: Framing error (4)
This bit is set by hardware when a de-synchronization, excessive noise or a break character is
detected. It is cleared by a software sequence (a read to the USART_SR register followed by a read to
the USART_DR register).
0: No framing error is detected
1: Framing error or break character is detected
Bit 0 PE: Parity error
This bit is set by hardware when a parity error occurs in receiver mode. It is cleared by a software
sequence (a read to the status register followed by a read to the USART_DR data register). You have
to wait for the RXNE flag to be set before clearing it. An interrupt is generated if PIEN=1 in the
USART_CR1 register.
0: No parity error
1: Parity error
1. The IDLE bit is not set again until the RXNE bit has been set itself (i.e. a new idle line occurs)
2. When this bit is set, the RDR register content is not lost but, the shift register is overwritten.
3. This bit does not generate an interrupt as it appears at the same time as the RXNE bit which itself generates an interrupt.
4. This bit does not generate an interrupt as it appears at the same time as the RXNE bit which itself generates an interrupt. If
the word currently being transferred causes both a frame error and an overrun error, it is transferred and only the OR bit is
set.

Contains the received or transmitted data character, depending on whether it is read from or written to.
The Data register performs a double function (read and write) since it is composed of two registers,

The TDR register provides the parallel interface between the internal bus and the output shift register.
The RDR register provides the parallel interface between the input shift register and the internal bus.

Baud rate register 1 (USART_BRR1)
The baud rate registers are common to both the transmitter and the receiver. The baud rate
is programmed using two registers BRR1 and BRR2. Writing of BRR2 (if required) should
precede BRR1, since a write to BRR1 will update the baud counters.
See Figure 158: How to code USART_DIV in the BRR registers on page 533 and Table 94:
Baud rate programming and error calculation on page 533.

SPI introduction
The serial peripheral interface (SPI) allows half/ full duplex, synchronous, serial
communication with external devices. The interface can be configured as the master and in
this case it provides the communication clock (SCK) to the external slave device. The
interface is also capable of operating in multi-master configuration.
It may be used for a variety of purposes, including simplex synchronous transfers on 2 lines
with a possible bidirectional data line or reliable communication using CRC checking.

NSS

The SPI is connected to external devices through four pins:

560/597

•

MISO: Master In / Slave Out data. This pin can be used to transmit data in slave mode
and receive data in master mode.

•

MOSI: Master Out / Slave In data . This pin can be used to transmit data in master
mode and receive data in slave mode.

•

SCK: Serial Clock output for SPI masters and Serial Clock input for SPI slaves.

•

NSS: Slave select. This is a optional pin to select a slave device. This pin acts as a
‘chip select’ to let the SPI master communicate with slaves individually and to avoid
contention on the data lines. Slave NSS inputs can be driven by standard I/O ports on
the master device. When configured in master mode (MSTR bit =1) and if NSS is
pulled low, the SPI enters master mode fault state: the MSTR bit is automatically reset
and the device is configured in slave mode (refer to Section 30.3.10: Error flags on
page 577).

DocID15226 Rev 14

RM0031

Serial peripheral interface (SPI)
A basic example of interconnections between a single master and a single slave is
illustrated in Figure 173.

Note:

The I/O slope on which the SPI outputs are connected is controlled by hardware as fast
slope output whatever the I/O port configuration.
Figure 173. Single master/ single slave application

The MOSI pins are connected together and the MISO pins are connected together. In this
way data is transferred serially between master and slave (most significant bit first).
The communication is always initiated by the master. When the master device transmits
data to a slave device via MOSI pin, the slave device responds the MISO pin. This implies
full duplex communication with both data out and data in synchronized with the same clock
signal (which is provided by the master device via the SCK pin).

Slave select (NSS) pin management
A hardware or software slave select management configuration can be set using the
Software slave select management (SSM) bit from the SPI_CR2 register.

Note:

•

Software NSS management (SSM = 1): with this configuration, slave select
information is driven internally by the Internal slave select (SSI) bit value in the
SPI_CR2 register.The external NSS pin remains free for other application uses.

•

Hardware NSS management (SSM = 0): For devices set as master, this configuration
allows multimaster capability. For devices set as slave, the NSS pin works as a
classical NSS input. The slave is selected when the NSS line is in low level and is not
selected if the NSS line is in high level.

When the master is communicating with SPI slaves which need to be deselected between
transmissions, the NSS pin must be configured as a GPIO.

Clock phase and clock polarity
Four possible timing relationships may be chosen by software, using the CPOL and CPHA
bits. The CPOL (clock polarity) bit controls the steady state value of the clock when no data
is being transferred. This bit affects both master and slave modes. If CPOL is reset, SCK pin
has a low level idle state. If CPOL is set, SCK pin has a high level idle state.
Note:

Make sure the SPI pin is configured at the idle state level of the SPI in order to avoid
generating an edge on the SPI clock pin when enabling or disabling the SPI cell.
If CPHA (clock phase) bit is set, the second edge on the SCK pin (falling edge if the CPOL
bit is reset, rising edge if the CPOL bit is set) is the MSBit capture strobe. Data is latched on
the occurrence of the first clock transition. If CPHA bit is reset, the first edge on the SCK pin
(falling edge if CPOL bit is set, rising edge if CPOL bit is reset) is the MSBit capture strobe.
Data is latched on the occurrence of the second clock transition.
The combination of the CPOL clock polarity and CPHA (clock phase) bits selects the data
capture clock edge.
Figure 174 shows an SPI transfer with the four combinations of the CPHA and CPOL bits.
The diagram may be interpreted as a master or slave timing diagram where the SCK pin,
the MISO pin, the MOSI pin are directly connected between the master and the slave
device.

Note:

562/597

1

Prior to changing the CPOL/CPHA bits the SPI must be disabled by resetting the SPE bit.

2

Master and slave must be programmed with the same timing mode.

3

The idle state of SCK must correspond to the polarity selected in the SPI_CR1 register (by
pulling up SCK if CPOL=1 or pulling down SCK if CPOL=0).

RM0031

Configuring the SPI in slave mode
In slave configuration, the serial clock is received on the SCK pin from the master device.
The value set in the BR[2:0] bits in the SPI_CR1 register, does not affect the data transfer
rate.
Follow the procedure below to configure the SPI in slave mode:
1.

Select the CPOL and CPHA bits to define one of the four relationships between the
data transfer and the serial clock (see Figure 174). For correct data transfer, the CPOL
and CPHA bits must be configured in the same way in the slave device and the master
device.

2.

The frame format (MSB-first or LSB-first depending on the value of the LSBFIRST bit in
the SPI_CR1 register) must be the same as the master device.

3.

In Hardware mode (refer to Slave select (NSS) pin management on page 561), the
NSS pin must be connected to a low level signal during the complete data transmit
sequence. In NSS Software mode, set the SSM bit and clear the SSI bit in the
SPI_CR2 register.

4.

Clear the MSTR bit and set the SPE bit to assign the pins to alternate functions.

In this configuration the MOSI pin is a data input and the MISO pin is a data output.
Note:

In applications with a parallel multi-slave structure, with separate NSS signals and the slave
MISO outputs connected together, the corresponding GPIO registers must be configured
correctly. The SPI_MISO pin is controlled by the SPI peripheral only when the NSS signal is
active and the device is selected as slave. When the NSS signal is released, the pin is
driven by GPIO register settings only. To function correctly, the GPIO has to be configured in
input pull-up mode with no interrupt. This configuration is done using the GPIO_DDR,
GPIO_CR1 and GPIO_CR2 registers - see Section 10.8.1: Alternate function output.

30.3.3

Configuring the SPI master mode
In a master configuration, the serial clock is generated on the SCK pin.
Follow the procedure below to configure the SPI in master mode:
1.

Select the BR[2:0] bits to define the serial clock baud rate (see SPI_CR1 register).

2.

Select the CPOL and CPHA bits to define one of the four relationships between the
data transfer and the serial clock (see Figure 174).

3.

Configure the LSBFIRST bit in the SPI_CR1 register to define the frame format.

4.

In Hardware mode, connect the NSS pin to a high-level signal during the complete data
transmit sequence. In software mode, set the SSM and SSI bits in the SPI_CR2
register.

5.

Set the MSTR and SPE bits (they remain set only if the NSS pin is connected to a highlevel signal).

In this configuration the MOSI pin is a data output and to the MISO pin is a data input.

Serial peripheral interface (SPI)

Configuring the SPI for simplex communications
The SPI is capable of operating in simplex mode in 2 configurations.
•

1 clock and 1 bidirectional data wire

•

1 clock and 1 data wire (Receive-only or Transmit-only)

1 clock and 1 bidirectional data wire
This mode is enabled by setting the BDM bit in the SPI_CR2 register. In this mode SCK is
used for the clock, and MOSI in master or MISO in slave mode is used for data
communication. The transfer direction (Input/output) is selected by the BDOE bit in the
SPI_CR2 register. When this bit is set to 1, the data line is output, otherwise it is input.

1 clock and 1 unidirectional data wire (BDM = 0)
In this mode, the application can use the SPI either in transmit-only mode or in receive-only
mode:
•

Transmit-only mode is similar to full-duplex mode (BDM = 0, RXONLY = 0): the data is
transmitted to the transmit pin (MOSI in master mode or MISO in slave mode) and the
receive pin (MISO in master mode or MOSI in slave mode) can be used as general
purpose I/O. In this case, the application just needs to ignore the Rx buffer (if the data
register is read, it does not contain the received value).

•

In receive-only mode, the application can disable the SPI output function by setting the
RXONLY bit in the SPI_CR2 register. In this case, it frees the transmit I/O pin (MOSI in
master mode or MISO in slave mode) so it can be used for other purposes.

To start the communication in receive-only mode, configure and enable the SPI:

30.3.5

•

In master mode, the communication starts immediately and stops when the SPE bit is
reset and the current reception stops. There is no need to read the BSY flag in this
mode. It is always set when an SPI communication is ongoing.

•

In slave mode, the SPI continues to receive as long as the NSS is pulled down (or the
SSI bit is reset in NSS software mode) and the SCK is running.

Data transmission and reception procedures
Rx and Tx buffer
In reception, data are received and then stored into an internal Rx buffer while In
transmission, data are first stored into an internal Tx buffer before being transmitted.
A read access of the SPI_DR register returns the Rx buffered value whereas a write access
of the SPI_DR stores the written data into the Tx buffer.

Start sequence in master mode
•

In full-duplex (BDM = 0 and RXONLY = 0)
–

The sequence begins when data is written into the SPI_DR register (Tx buffer).

–

The data is then parallel loaded from the Tx buffer into the 8-bit shift register
during the first bit transmission and then shifted out serially to the MOSI pin.

–

At the same time, the received data on MISO pin is shifted in serially to the 8-bit
shift register and then parallel loaded into the SPI_DR register (Rx Buffer).

Handling data transmission and reception
The TXE flag (Tx buffer empty) is set when the data is transferred from the Tx buffer to the
shift register. It indicates that the internal Tx buffer is ready to be loaded with the next data.
An interrupt can be generated if TXIE bit in the SPI_ICR register is set.
Note:

The software must ensure that TXE flag is set to 1 before attempting to write into the Tx
buffer. Otherwise, it will overwrite the data which was previously written in the Tx buffer.
The RXNE flag (Rx buffer not empty) is set on the last sampling clock edge, when the data
is transferred from the shift register to the Rx buffer. It indicates that a data is ready to be
read from the SPI_DR register. An interrupt can be generated if RXIE bit in the SPI_ICR
register is set. Clearing the RXNE bit is performed by reading the SPI_DR register.
In some configurations, the BSY flag can be used during the last data transfer to wait until
the completion of the transfer.

Full Duplex Transmit and receive procedure in master or slave mode
(BDM=0 and RXONLY = 0)
1.

Enable the SPI by setting the SPE bit

2.

Write the first data to be transmitted in the SPI_DR register (this clears the TXE flag).

3.

Wait until TXE = 1 and write the second data to be transmitted. Then wait until RXNE =
1 and read the SPI_DR to get the first received data (this clears the RXNE bit). Repeat
this operation for each data to be transmitted/received until the n-1 received data.

4.

Wait until RXNE = 1 and read the last received data.

5.

Wait until TXE = 1 and then wait until BSY = 0 before disabling the SPI.

This procedure can also be implemented using dedicated interrupt subroutines launched at
each rising edge of RXNE or TXE flags.

In this mode, the procedure can be reduced as described below and the BSY bit can be
used to wait until the effective completion of the transmission (see Figure 175 and
Figure 176):
1.

Enable the SPI by setting the SPE bit

2.

Write the first data to send in the SPI_DR register (this clears the TXE bit).

3.

Wait until TXE = 1 and write the next data to be transmitted. Repeat this step for each
data to be transmitted.

4.

After writing the last data in the SPI_DR register, wait until TXE = 1 and then wait until
BSY=0 which indicates that the transmission of the last data is complete.

This procedure can be also implemented using dedicated interrupt subroutines launched at
each rising edge of TXE flag.
Note:

1

In master mode, during discontinuous communications, there is a 2 CPU clock period delay
between the write operation to SPI_DR and the BSY bit setting. As a consequence, in
transmit-only mode, it is mandatory to wait first until TXE is set and then until BSY is reset
after having written the last data.

After transmitting two data in transmit-only mode, the OVR flag is set in the SPI_SR register
since the received data are never read.

In slave mode, data are received when the SPI master device drives NSS low and
generates the SCK clock.

Wait until RXNE =1 and read the SPI_DR register to get the received data (this clears

In this mode, the procedure is similar to the Receive-only procedure except that the BDM bit
must be set and the BDOE bit must be reset in the SPI_CR2 register before enabling the
SPI.

Continuous and discontinuous transfers
When transmitting data in master mode, if the software is fast enough to detect each TXE
rising edge (or TXE interrupt) and to immediately write the SPI_DR register before the
ongoing data transfer is complete, the communication is said to be continuous. In this case,
there is no discontinuity in the generation of the SPI clock between each data and the BSY
bit will never be reset between each data transfer.
On the contrary, if the software is not fast enough, this can lead to some discontinuities in
the communication. In this case, the BSY bit is reset between each data transmission (see
Figure 180).
In master receive-only mode (BDM = 0 and RXONLY = 1) or in bidirectional receive mode
(BDM = 1 and BDOE = 0), the communication is always continuous and the BSY flag is
always read at 1.
In slave mode, the continuity of the communication is decided by the SPI master device. But
even if the communication is continuous, the BSY flag goes low between each transfer for a
minimum duration of one SPI clock cycle (see Figure 176).

30.3.6

CRC calculation
A CRC calculator has been implemented for communication reliability. Separate CRC
calculators are implemented for transmitted data and received data. The CRC is calculated
using a programmable polynomial serially on each bit. The CRC is calculated on the
sampling clock edge defined by the CPHA and CPOL bits in the SPI_CR1 register.
CRC calculation is enabled by setting the CRCEN bit in the SPI_CR1 register. This action
resets the CRC registers (SPI_RXCRCR and SPI_TXCRCR). When the CRCNEXT bit in
SPI_CR2 is set, the SPI_TXCRCR value is transmitted at the end of the current byte
transmission.
If a byte is present in the Tx buffer, the CRC value is transmitted only after the transmission
of this byte. During the transmission of CRC, the CRC calculator is switched off and the
register value remains unchanged.
The CRCERR flag in the SPI_SR register is set if the value received in the shift register
during the SPI_TXCRCR value transmission does not match the SPI_RXCRCR value.

572/597

DocID15226 Rev 14

RM0031

Serial peripheral interface (SPI)
SPI communication using CRC is possible through the following procedure:

Note:

•

Program the CPOL, CPHA, LSBfirst, BR, SSM, SSI and MSTR values.

•

Program the polynomial in the SPI_CRCPR register

•

Enable the CRC calculation by setting the CRCEN bit in the SPI_CR1 register. This
also clears the SPI_RXCRCR and SPI_TXCRCR registers

•

Enable the SPI by setting the SPE bit in SPI_CR1

•

Start the communication and sustain the communication until all but one byte has been
transmitted or received.

•

On writing the last byte to the Txbuffer, set the CRCNext bit in the SPI_CR2 register to
indicate that after transmission of the last byte, the CRC should be transmitted. The
CRC calculation will be frozen during the CRC transmission.

•

After transmitting the last byte, the SPI transmits the CRC. CRCNext bit is reset. The
CRC is also received and compared against the SPI_RXCRCR value. If the value does
not match, the CRCERR flag in SPI_SR is set and an interrupt can be generated when
the ERRIE in the SPI_ICR register is set.

With high bit rate frequencies, the user must take care when transmitting CRC. As the
number of used CPU cycles has to be as low as possible in the CRC transfer phase, the
calling of software functions in the CRC transmission sequence is forbidden to avoid errors
in the last data and CRC reception.
When the SPI is in slave mode, be careful to enable CRC calculation only when the clock is
stable. If not, a wrong CRC calculation may be done.
For high bit rate frequencies, it is advised to use the DMA mode to avoid the degradation of
the SPI speed performance due to CPU accesses impacting the SPI bandwidth.
When the STM8L05xx/15xx/16xx is configured as slave and the NSS hardware mode is
used, the NSS pin needs to be kept low between the data phase and the CRC phase.
When the SPI is configured in slave mode with the CRC feature enabled, CRC calculation
takes place even if a high level is applied on the NSS pin. This may happen for example in
case of a multislave environment where the communication master addresses slaves
alternately.
Between a slave deselection (high level on NSS) and a new slave selection (low level on
NSS), the CRC value should be cleared on both master and slave sides in order to
resynchronize the master and slave for their respective CRC calculation.
To clear the CRC, follow the procedure below:
1.

Disable SPI (SPE = 0)

2.

Clear the CRCEN bit

3.

Set the CRCEN bit

4.

Enable the SPI (SPE = 1)

Status flags
There are three status flags to allow the application to completely monitor the state of the
SPI bus.

Tx buffer empty flag (TXE)
When set, this flag indicates that the Tx buffer is empty and that the next data to be
transmitted can be loaded into the buffer. The TXE flag is reset when writing the SPI_DR
register.

Rx buffer not empty (RXNE)
When set, this flag indicates that there is a valid received data in the Rx buffer. This flag is
reset when SPI_DR is read.

Busy flag (BSY)
This BSY flag is set and reset by hardware (writing to this flag has no effect). The BSY flag
indicates the state of the communication layer of the SPI.
When BSY is set, it indicates that the SPI is busy communicating. There is one exception in
master mode / bidirectional receive mode (MSTR=1 and BDM=1 and BDOE=0) where the
BSY flag is kept low during the reception.
The BSY flag is useful to detect the end of a transfer if the software wants to disable the SPI
and enters Halt mode (or disable the peripheral clock). This will avoid corrupting the last
transfer. For this, the procedure described below must be strictly respected.
The BSY flag is also useful to avoid write collisions in a multimaster system.
The BSY flag is set when a transfer starts with the exception of master mode / bidirectional
receive mode (MSTR = 1 and BDM = 1 and BDOE = 0).
It is reset:
•

when a transfer is finished (except in master mode if the communication is continuous)

•

when the SPI is disabled

•

when a master mode fault occurs (MODF = 1)

When communication is not continuous, the BSY flag is low between each communication.
When communication is continuous, in master mode, the BSY flag is kept high during the
whole transfers.
When communication is continuous, in slave mode, the BSY flag goes back to low state for
one SPI clock cycle between each transfer.
Note:

Do not use the BSY flag to handle each data transmission or reception. It is better to use
TXE and RXNE flags instead.

30.3.8

Disabling the SPI
When a transfer is terminated, the application can stop the communication by disabling the
SPI peripheral. This is done by resetting the SPE bit.
For some configurations, disabling the SPI and entering Halt mode while a transfer is ongoing, can cause the current transfer to be corrupted and/or it can happen that the BSY flag
becomes unreliable.

Serial peripheral interface (SPI)
To avoid any of these effects, it is recommended to respect the following procedure when
disabling the SPI:

In master or slave full duplex mode (BDM = 0, RXONLY = 0):
1.

Wait until RXNE = 1 to receive the last data

2.

Wait until TXE = 1

3.

Then wait until BSY = 0

4.

Disable the SPI (SPE = 0) and eventually enter Halt mode (or disable the peripheral
clock).

In master or slave unidirectional transmit-only mode (BDM = 0, RXONLY = 0)
or bidirectional transmit mode (BDM = 1, BDOE = 1):
After the last data is written in the SPI_DR register:
1.

Wait until TXE = 1

2.

Then wait until BSY = 0

3.

Disable the SPI (SPE = 0) and, if desired, enter Halt mode (or disable the peripheral
clock).

In master unidirectional receive-only mode (MSTR = 1, BDM = 0, RXONLY = 1)
or bidirectional receive mode (MSTR = 1, BDM = 1, BDOE = 0):
This case must be managed in a particular way to ensure that the SPI does not initiate a
new transfer:

Note:

1.

Wait for the second to last occurrence of RXNE = 1 (n-1)

2.

Then wait for one SPI clock cycle (using a software loop) before disabling the SPI
(SPE = 0)

3.

Then wait for the last RXNE=1 before entering Halt mode (or disabling the peripheral
clock).

In master bidirectional receive mode (MSTR=1 and BDM=1 and BDOE=0), the BSY flag is
kept low during a transfer.

In slave receive-only mode (MSTR = 0, BDM = 0, RXONLY = 1) or bidirectional
receive mode (MSTR = 0, BDM = 1, BDOE = 0):

30.3.9

1.

You can disable the SPI (write SPE = 1) whenever you want: the current transfer will
complete before being effectively disabled.

2.

Then, if you want to enter Halt mode, you must first wait until BSY = 0 before entering
Halt mode (or disabling the peripheral clock).

SPI communication using DMA (direct memory addressing)
To operate at its maximum speed, the SPI needs to be fed with the data to be transmitted,
and the data received on the Rx buffer should be read to avoid overrun. To facilitate the
transfers, the SPI features a DMA capability implementing a simple request/acknowledge
protocol.

Serial peripheral interface (SPI)

RM0031

A DMA access is requested when the enable bit in the SPI_ICR register is enabled.
Separate requests must be issued to the Tx and the Rx buffers (see Figure 181 and
Figure 182):
•

In transmission, a DMA request is issued each time TXE is set to 1. The DMA then
writes the SPI_DR (this clears the TXE flag).

•

In reception, a DMA request is issued each time RXNE is set to 1. The DMA then reads
the SPI_DR (this clears the RXNE flag).

When the SPI is used only to transmit data, it is possible to enable only the SPI Tx DMA
channel. In this case, the OVR flag is set because the data received are not read.
When the SPI is used only to receive data, it is possible to enable only the SPI Rx DMA
channel.
In transmission mode, when the DMA has written all the data to be transmitted (flag TCIF is
set in the DMA_CxSPR register), the BSY flag can be monitored to ensure that the SPI
communication is complete. This is required to avoid corrupting the last transmission before
disabling the SPI or entering Halt mode. The software must first wait until TXE=1 and then
wait until BSY=0.
Note:

During discontinuous communications, there is a 2 CPU clock period delay between the
write operation to SPI_DR and the BSY bit setting. As a consequence, it is mandatory to
wait first until TXE=1 and then until BSY=0 after having written the last data.

Error flags
Master mode fault (MODF)
Master mode fault occurs when the master device has its NSS pin pulled low (in NSS
hardware mode) or SSI bit low (in NSS software mode), this automatically sets the MODF
bit. Master mode fault affects the SPI peripheral in the following ways:
•

The MODF bit is set and an SPI interrupt is generated if the ERRIE bit is set.

•

The SPE bit is reset. This blocks all output from the device and disables the SPI
interface.

•

The MSTR bit is reset, thus forcing the device into slave mode.

Use the following software sequence to clear the MODF bit:
1.

Make a read or write access to the SPI_SR register while the MODF bit is set.

2.

Then write to the SPI_CR1 register.

To avoid any multiple slave conflicts in a system comprising several MCUs, the NSS pin
must be pulled high during the MODF bit clearing sequence. The SPE and MSTR bits can
be restored to their original state after this clearing sequence.
As a security, hardware does not allow you to set the SPE and MSTR bits while the MODF
bit is set.
In a slave device the MODF bit cannot be set. However, in a multi-master configuration, the
device can be in slave mode with this MODF bit set. In this case, the MODF bit indicates
that there might have been a multimaster conflict for system control. You can use an
interrupt routine to recover cleanly from this state by performing a reset or returning to a
default state.

Overrun condition
An overrun condition occurs, when the master device has sent data bytes and the slave
device has not cleared the RXNE bit resulting from the previous data byte transmitted.
When an overrun condition occurs:
•

OVR bit is set and an interrupt is generated if the ERRIE bit is set.

In this case, the receiver buffer contents will not be updated with the newly received data
from the master device. A read to the SPI_DR register returns this byte. All other
subsequently transmitted bytes are lost.
Clearing the OVR bit is done by a read access to the SPI_DR register followed by a read
access to the SPI_SR register.

CRC error
This flag is used to verify the correctness of the value received when the CRCEN bit in the
SPI_CR2 register is set. The CRCERR flag in the SPI_SR register is set if the value
received in the shift register after the SPI_TXCRCR value transmission does not match the
SPI_RXCRCR value. Refer to Chapter 30.3.6: CRC calculation.

SPI low power modes
Table 103. SPI behavior in low power modes
Mode

Description

Wait/Low power No effect on SPI.
wait
SPI interrupt events cause the device to exit from Wait or Low power wait mode.

Halt/Active-halt

SPI registers are frozen.
In Halt mode, the SPI is inactive. If the SPI is in master mode, then
communication resumes when the device is woken up by an interrupt with
“wakeup from Halt mode” capability.
If the SPI is in slave mode, then it can wake up the MCU from Halt mode after
detecting the first sampling edge of data.

Using the SPI to wake up the device from Halt mode
When the microcontroller is in Halt mode, the SPI is still capable of responding as a slave
provided the NSS pin is tied low or the SSI bit is reset before entering Halt mode.
When the first sampling edge of data (as defined by the CPHA bit) is detected:

578/597

•

The WKUP bit is set in the SPI_SR register

•

An interrupt is generated if the WKIE bit in the SPI_ICR register is set.

•

This interrupt wakes up the device from Halt mode.

•

Due to the time needed to restore the system clock, the SPI slave sends or receives a
few data before being able to communicate correctly. It is then mandatory to use the
following protocol:
–

A specific value is written into the SPI_DR before entering Halt mode. This value
indicates to the external master that the SPI is in Halt mode

–

The external master sends the same byte continuously until it receives from the
SPI slave device a new value other than the unique value indicating the SPI is in

DocID15226 Rev 14

RM0031

Serial peripheral interface (SPI)
Halt mode. This new value indicates the SPI slave has woken-up and can
correctly communicate.

Restrictions in receive-only modes
The wakeup functionality is not guaranteed in receive-only modes (BDM = 0 and
RXONLY = 1 or BDM = 1 and BDOE = 0) since the time needed to restore the system clock
can be greater than the data reception time. A loss of data in reception would then be
induced and the slave device can not indicate to the master which data has been properly
received.
