System architecture and memory overview

S1: D-bus
This bus connects the Data bus of the Cortex®-M4 with FPU core to the BusMatrix. This bus
is used by the core for literal load and debug access. The target of this bus is a memory
area (Flash and SRAM) containing the code or data.

2.1.3

S2: S-bus
This bus connects the system bus of the Cortex®-M4 with FPU core to the BusMatrix. This
bus is used to access data located in peripheral or SRAM area. Instructions can also be
fetched on this bus even if it less efficient than the ICode bus.
The targets of this bus are the 32-Kbyte SRAM, the AHB2APB bridges, the AHB I/O port.

2.1.4

S3, S4: DMA-bus
This bus connects the AHB master interface of the DMAs to the BusMatrix which manages
the access of different Masters to Flash memory, SRAM and AHB peripherals.

2.1.5

BusMatrix-S (5M5S)
The BusMatrix manages the access arbitration between Masters (core system bus, GPDMAs). The arbitration scheme uses a Round Robin algorithm. The BusMatrix is composed
of 5 slaves (FLASH ITF, SRAM, AHB2APB bridges and AHB I/O ports) and 5 masters (CPU
System, DCODE and ICODE buses, DMA1 and DMA2 bus).
The following subsections describe all the peripherals connected to the AHB subsystem.

AHB/APB bridges
The two AHB/APB bridges provide full synchronous connections between the AHB and the
2 APB buses. APB1 is limited to 36 MHz, APB2 operates at full speed(72 MHz).
Refer to Section 2.2.2: Memory map and register boundary addresses on page 40 for the
address mapping of the peripherals connected to this bridge.
After each device reset, all peripheral clocks are disabled (except for the SRAM and FLITF).
Before using a peripheral you have to enable its clock in the RCC_AHBENR,
RCC_APB2ENR or RCC_APB1ENR register.
Note:

When a 16- or 8-bit access is performed on an APB register, the access is transformed into
a 32-bit access: the bridge duplicates the 16- or 8-bit data to feed the 32-bit vector.

Memory organization

2.2.1

Introduction
Program memory, data memory, registers and I/O ports are organized within the same linear
4-Gbyte address space.
The bytes are coded in memory in Little Endian format. The lowest numbered byte in a word
is considered the word’s least significant byte and the highest numbered byte the most
significant.
The addressable memory space is divided into 8 main blocks, of 512 Mbytes each.
All the memory areas that are not allocated to on-chip memories and peripherals are
considered “Reserved”. For the detailed mapping of available memory and register areas,
please refer to Memory map and register boundary addresses and peripheral sections.

2.3

Embedded SRAM
The STM32F37xxx features 32 Kbytes of static SRAM. It can be accessed as bytes, halfwords (16 bits) or full words (32 bits). This memory can be addressed at maximum system
clock frequency without wait state and thus by both CPU and DMA.

2.3.1

Parity check
The data bus width is 36 bits because 4 bits are available for parity check (1 bit per byte) in
order to increase memory robustness, as required for instance by Class B or SIL norms.
The parity bits are computed and stored when writing into the SRAM. Then, they are
automatically checked when reading. If one bit fails, an NMI is generated. The same error
can also be linked to the BRK_IN Break input of TIMER1, with the SRAM_PARITY_LOCK
control bit in the SYSCFG configuration register 2 (SYSCFG_CFGR2). The SRAM Parity
Error flag (SRAM_PEF) is available in the SYSCFG configuration register 2
(SYSCFG_CFGR2).

2.4

Bit banding
The Cortex®-M4 memory map includes two bit-band regions. These regions map each word
in an alias region of memory to a bit in a bit-band region of memory. Writing to a word in the
alias region has the same effect as a read-modify-write operation on the targeted bit in the
bit-band region.
In the STM32F37xxx both peripheral registers and SRAM are mapped in a bit-band region.
This allows single bit-band write and read operations to be performed. The operations are
only available for Cortex®-M4 accesses, not from other bus masters (e.g. DMA).
A mapping formula shows how to reference each word in the alias region to a corresponding
bit in the bit-band region. The mapping formula is:
bit_word_addr = bit_band_base + (byte_offset x 32) + (bit_number × 4)
where:
bit_word_addr is the address of the word in the alias memory region that maps to the
targeted bit.
bit_band_base is the starting address of the alias region
byte_offset is the number of the byte in the bit-band region that contains the targeted
bit
bit_number is the bit position (0-7) of the targeted bit.

Example:
The following example shows how to map bit 2 of the byte located at SRAM address
0x20000300 in the alias region:
0x22006008 = 0x22000000 + (0x300*32) + (2*4).
Writing to address 0x22006008 has the same effect as a read-modify-write operation on bit
2 of the byte at SRAM address 0x20000300.
Reading address 0x22006008 returns the value (0x01 or 0x00) of bit 2 of the byte at SRAM
address 0x20000300 (0x01: bit set; 0x00: bit reset).

Manual.

2.5

Flash memory overview
The Flash memory is composed of two distinct physical areas:
•

The main Flash memory block. It contains the application program and user data if
necessary.

•

The information block. It is composed of two parts:
–

Option bytes for hardware and memory protection user configuration.

–

System memory which contains the proprietary bootloader code. Please, refer to
Section 3: Embedded Flash memory for more details.

Flash memory instructions and data access are performed through the AHB bus. The
prefetch block is used for instruction fetches through the ICode bus. Arbitration is performed
in the Flash memory interface, and priority is given to data access on the DCode bus. It also
implements the logic necessary to carry out the Flash memory operations (Program/Erase)
controlled through the Flash registers.

2.6

Boot configuration
In the STM32F37xxx, three different boot modes can be selected through the BOOT0 pin
and nBOOT1 bit in the User option byte, as shown in the following table:

Embedded SRAM

Embedded SRAM (on the DCode
bus) is selected as boot space

The values on both BOOT0 pin and nBOOT1 option bit are latched on the 4th rising edge of
SYSCLK after a reset.
It is up to the user to set the nBOOT1 and BOOT0 to select the required boot mode. The
BOOT0 pin and nBOOT1 option bit are also resampled when exiting from Standby mode.
Consequently they must be kept in the required Boot mode configuration in Standby mode.
After this startup delay has elapsed, the CPU fetches the top-of-stack value from address
0x0000 0000, then starts code execution from the boot memory at 0x0000 0004. Depending
on the selected boot mode, main Flash memory, system memory or SRAM is accessible as
follows:
•

Boot from main Flash memory: the main Flash memory is aliased in the boot memory
space (0x0000 0000), but still accessible from its original memory space (0x0800

DocID022448 Rev 5

45/904
69

RM0313
0000). In other words, the Flash memory contents can be accessed starting from
address 0x0000 0000 or 0x0800 0000.
•

Boot from system memory: the system memory is aliased in the boot memory space
(0x0000 0000), but still accessible from its original memory space (0x1FFF D800).

•

Boot from the embedded SRAM: the SRAM is aliased in the boot memory space
(0x0000 0000), but it is still accessible from its original memory space (0x2000 0000).

Embedded bootloader
The embedded bootloader is located in the System memory, programmed by ST during
production. It is used to reprogram the Flash memory through USART1 or USART2 or USB
(DFU: device firmware upgrade).

•

System memory is used to boot the device in System memory boot mode. The area is
reserved for use by STMicroelectronics and contains the bootloader which is used to
reprogram the Flash memory through one of the following interfaces: USART1,
USART2 or USB (DFU). It is programmed by ST when the device is manufactured, and
protected against spurious write/erase operations. For further details, please refer to
the AN2606.

•

Option bytes

Read operations
The embedded Flash module can be addressed directly, as a common memory space. Any
data read operation accesses the content of the Flash module through dedicated read
senses and provides the requested data.
The read interface consists of a read controller on one side to access the Flash memory and
an AHB interface on the other side to interface with the CPU. The main task of the read
interface is to generate the control signals to read from the Flash memory and to prefetch
the blocks required by the CPU. The prefetch block is only used for instruction fetches over
the ICode bus. The Literal pool is accessed over the DCode bus. Since these two buses
have the same Flash memory as target, DCode bus accesses have priority over prefetch
accesses.
Read accesses can be performed with the following options managed through the Flash
access control register (FLASH_ACR):

48/904

•

Instruction fetch: Prefetch buffer enabled for a faster CPU execution.

•

Embedded Flash memory

Instruction fetch
The Cortex®-M4 with FPU fetches the instruction over the ICode bus and the literal pool
(constant/data) over the DCode bus. The prefetch block aims at increasing the efficiency of
ICode bus accesses.

Prefetch buffer
The prefetch controller decides to access the Flash memory depending on the available
space in the prefetch buffer. The controller initiates a read request when there is at least one
block free in the prefetch buffer.
After reset, the state of the prefetch buffer is on. The prefetch buffer is usually switched
on/off during the initialization routine, while the microcontroller is running on the internal
8 MHz RC (HSI) oscillator.

Prefetch controller
The prefetch controller decides to access the Flash memory depending on the available
space in the prefetch buffer. The Controller initiates a read request when there is at least
one block free in the prefetch buffer.
After reset, the state of the prefetch buffer is on. The prefetch buffer should be switched
on/off only when SYSCLK is lower than 24 MHz and no prescaler is applied on the AHB
clock (SYSCLK must be equal to HCLK). The prefetch buffer is usually switched on/off
during the initialization routine, while the microcontroller is running on the internal 8 MHz RC
(HSI) oscillator.
Note:

The prefetch buffer must be kept on (FLASH_ACR[4]=’1’) when using a prescaler different
from 1 on the AHB clock.

Access latency
In order to maintain the control signals to read the Flash memory, the ratio of the prefetch
controller clock period to the access time of the Flash memory has to be programmed in the
Flash access control register with the LATENCY[2:0] bits. This value gives the number of
cycles needed to maintain the control signals of the Flash memory and correctly read the
required data. After reset, the value is zero and only one cycle without additional wait states
is required to access the Flash memory.

DCode interface
The DCode interface consists of a simple AHB interface on the CPU side and a request
generator to the Arbiter of the Flash access controller. The DCode accesses have priority
over prefetch accesses. This interface uses the Access Time Tuner block of the prefetch
buffer.

Flash Access controller
Mainly, this block is a simple arbiter between the read requests of the prefetch/ICode and
DCode interfaces.
DCode interface requests have priority over other requests.

Flash program and erase operations
The STM32F37xxx embedded Flash memory can be programmed using in-circuit
programming or in-application programming.
The in-circuit programming (ICP) method is used to update the entire contents of the
Flash memory, using the JTAG, SWD protocol or the bootloader to load the user application
into the microcontroller. ICP offers quick and efficient design iterations and eliminates
unnecessary package handling or socketing of devices.
In contrast to the ICP method, in-application programming (IAP) can use any
communication interface supported by the microcontroller (I/Os, USB, CAN, UART, I2C, SPI,
etc.) to download programming data into memory. IAP allows the user to re-program the
Flash memory while the application is running. Nevertheless, part of the application has to
have been previously programmed in the Flash memory using ICP.
The program and erase operations are managed through the following seven Flash
registers:
•

Key register (FLASH_KEYR)

•

Option byte key register (FLASH_OPTKEYR)

•

Flash control register (FLASH_CR)

•

Flash status register (FLASH_SR)

•

Flash address register (FLASH_AR)

•

Option byte register (FLASH_OBR)

•

Write protection register (FLASH_WRPR)

An on going Flash memory operation will not block the CPU as long as the CPU does not
access the Flash memory.
On the contrary, during a program/erase operation to the Flash memory, any attempt to read
the Flash memory will stall the bus. The read operation will proceed correctly once the
program/erase operation has completed. This means that code or data fetches cannot be
made while a program/erase operation is ongoing.
For program and erase operations on the Flash memory (write/erase), the internal RC
oscillator (HSI) must be ON.

Unlocking the Flash memory
After reset, the FPEC (Flash memory program/erase controller) is protected against
unwanted write or erase operations. The FLASH_CR register is not accessible in write
mode, except for the OBL_LAUNCH bit, used to reload the OBL. An unlocking sequence
should be written to the FLASH_KEYR register to open the access to the FLASH_CR
register. This sequence consists of two write operations into FLASH_KEYR register:
1.

Write KEY1 = 0x45670123

2.

Write KEY2 = 0xCDEF89AB

Any wrong sequence locks up the FPEC and the FLASH_CR register until the next reset.
In the case of a wrong key sequence, a bus error is detected and a Hard Fault interrupt is
generated. This is done after the first write cycle if KEY1 does not match, or during the
second write cycle if KEY1 has been correctly written but KEY2 does not match.

RM0313

Embedded Flash memory
The FPEC and the FLASH_CR register can be locked again by user software by writing the
LOCK bit in the FLASH_CR register to 1.

Main Flash memory programming
The main Flash memory can be programmed 16 bits at a time. The program operation is
started when the CPU writes a half-word into a main Flash memory address with the PG bit
of the FLASH_CR register set. Any attempt to write data that are not half-word long will
result in a bus error generating a Hard Fault interrupt.

VBAT, there is a 2 ms period of time during which
the current can flow from VDD to VBAT pin.
In STM32F378xx devices, VBAT must be connected to VDD (no battery backup).
If VBAT is not used, it must be connected to VDD.

VSSSD must be connected to ground.

Note:

PB0 and PB1 pins are powered from VDD power supply. However, PB0 and PB1 are also
sharing SDADC1 analog inputs. Therefore the maximum voltage connected to these pins
when they are not used as analog inputs must be less than the minimum of VDD and
VDDSD12 supply voltages to avoid current injection into VDD and VDDSD12.
When PB0 and PB1 are configured in analog input mode (MODERy[1:0] = 11, see
Section 8.4.1: GPIO port mode register (GPIOx_MODER) (x =A..F)), the maximum voltage
must be less than VDDSD12.
If VDD is higher than VDDSD12, it is forbidden to use PB0 and PB1 in digital output mode to
avoid current injection from VDD supply into VDDSD12 supply through shared analog inputs.

They define the input conversion range for all SDADCx converters.
If SDADCx is configured in external reference voltage mode, the external voltage
reference source must be connected to these pins.
If the external reference voltage is not enabled, then the selected SDADC internal
reference voltage source (VREFINT, SDADC_VDD) is present on VREFSD+.

Independent A/D and D/A converter supply and reference voltage
To improve conversion accuracy, the ADC and the DAC have an independent power supply
which can be separately filtered and shielded from noise on the PCB.
•

The ADC and DAC voltage supply input is available on a separate VDDA pin.

•

An isolated supply ground connection is provided on pin VSSA.

•

The SDADC voltage supply is available on separate VDDSDx pins.

•

An isolated SDADC supply ground connection is provided on pin VSSSD.

The VDDA supply/reference voltage can be equal or higher than VDD.
The VDDSD12 and VDDSD3 can be different from VDD, VDDA and from one another,
considering they are inside the allowed working range and must always be lower than VDDA.
When VDDSD3 is different, it must start before or at the same time as VDDSD12.
When a single supply is used, VDDA, VDDSD12 and VDDSD3 can be externally connected
to VDD, through the external filtering circuit in order to ensure a noise free analog
supply/reference voltage.
When VDDA is different from VDD, it must always be higher or equal to VDD. In order to
ensure this condition, also during power-up/power-down transitions, an external Schottky
diode may be used between VDD and VDDA.
VDDSD12 and VDDSD3 can also be different, higher or lower than VDD and lower or equal
to VDDA.

Correct grounding for analog applications
The STM32F37xxx devices features several ground pins for various purposes. To properly
design the PCB of the application, it is necessary to understand each ground pin function.
VSS ground
The VSS ground pin is used internally for all the digital parts: CPU, peripheral digital parts,
GPIO pins. It is used both as a power supply and a digital signal reference for these parts.
All the digital currents flow through the VSS ground: supply currents and GPIO load
currents. This is therefore a noisy ground and on a PCB, the above mentioned currents can
produce voltage drops along the VSS ground path. The magnitude of the voltage drop
depends on the VSS path design on the PCB. The low resistivity and low inductance paths
are required, which leads to use one low-resistance PCB layer as VSS ground.
VSSA/VREF- ground
The VSSA ground pin is internally used as supply voltage for the analog parts such as ADC,
PLL, COMP and DAC. VSSA is also used as the reference voltage for ADC negative signal
input (standard ADC uses single-ended mode with VSSA as reference ground) and DAC
output signal. The VREF- ground is used as the ADC negative voltage reference input.
More analog currents flow through the VSSA ground: supply currents for ADC, DAC, COMP
and PLL. These currents changes are slow - not fast transient signals like in the digital part.
The VSSA design is important for ADC and DAC, which uses VSSA as zero reference
potential. For the ADC, it is recommended to use a star topology for the “negative” analog
input signal path to prevent another current flow through this signal path (star topology into
VSSA/VREF- pin).
The DAC output should have the ground reference (the “negative” output potential) sensed
directly from the VSSA/VREF- pin.
To suppress noise from the digital application part, it is recommended to connect
VSSA/VREF- to VSS near to the power supply source (star topology into the power supply
source) and use decoupling capacitors between the VSSA pin and VDDA pin close to the
microcontroller.
VSSSD ground
The VSSSD ground pin is used as a power supply for all SDADC peripherals (SDADC1,
SDADC2 and SDADC3). VSSSD purpose is to provide a noise-free power supply to the
high precision 16-bit SDADCs. The positive supply voltages (VDDSD12 and VDDSD3)
purpose is the same.
It is recommended to connect the VSSSD pin to VSS close to the power supply source (star
topology into the power supply source) and use decoupling capacitors between the VSSSD
pin and the VDDSD12/VDDSD3 pins close to the microcontroller.
VREFSD- ground
The VREFSD- ground pin has two main functions. It is used primary as a negative reference
input for all the SDADCs (SDADC1, SDADC2 and SDADC3), while the positive reference
input is connected to the VREFSD+ pin. The VREFSD- pin is used also as reference ground
potential for the SDADC input configured in single-ended mode (in single ended
configuration the negative SDADC input is connected internally to the VREFSD- pin).

For the SDADC single-ended input signals, it is recommended to use a star topology for the
signal ground path. The signal ground is connected directly to the VREFSD- pin (star

It is recommended to connect VREFSD- to VSS near to the power supply source (star
topology into the power supply source) and to use decoupling capacitors between the

Power control (PWR)

Battery backup domain
To retain the content of the backup registers and supply the whole RTC domain when VDD is
turned off, VBAT pin can be connected to an optional standby voltage supplied by a battery
or by another source. The battery backup feature is not available on STM32F378xx
microcontrollers (VDD = 1.8 V ± 8%). When the device operates in this mode, VBAT pin must
be connected to VDD.
The VBAT pin powers the RTC unit, the LSE oscillator and the PC13 to PC15 I/Os, allowing
the RTC to operate even when the main digital supply (VDD) is turned off. The switch to the
VBAT supply is controlled by the Power Down Reset embedded in the Reset block.

Warning:

During tRSTTEMPO (temporization at VDD startup) or after a PDR
is detected, the power switch between VBAT and VDD remains
connected to VBAT.
During the startup phase, if VDD is established in less than
tRSTTEMPO (Refer to the datasheet for the value of tRSTTEMPO)
and VDD > VBAT + 0.6 V, a current may be injected into VBAT
through an internal diode connected between VDD and the
power switch (VBAT).
If the power supply/battery connected to the VBAT pin cannot
support this current injection, it is strongly recommended to
connect an external low-drop diode between this power
supply and the VBAT pin.

If no external battery is used in the application, it is recommended to connect VBAT
externally to VDD with a 100 nF external ceramic decoupling capacitor (for more details refer
to AN4206).
When the RTC domain is supplied by VDD (analog switch connected to VDD), the following
functions are available:

Note:

•

PC14 and PC15 can be used as either GPIO or LSE pins

•

PC13 can be used as GPIO, TAMPER pin, RTC Calibration Clock, RTC Alarm or
second output (refer to Section 23.6.19: RTC backup registers (RTC_BKPxR) on
page 547)

Due to the fact that the switch only sinks a limited amount of current (3 mA), the use of
GPIOs PC13 to PC15 in output mode is restricted: the speed has to be limited to 2 MHz with
a maximum load of 30 pF and these I/Os must not be used as a current source (e.g. to drive
an LED).
When the RTC domain is supplied by VBAT (analog switch connected to VBAT because VDD
is not present), the following functions are available:
•

PC14 and PC15 can be used as LSE pins only

•

PC13 can be used as TAMPER pin, RTC Alarm or Second output (refer to
section).Section 23.6.15: RTC calibration register (RTC_CALR) on page 542

Voltage regulator
The voltage regulator is always enabled after Reset. It works in three different modes
depending on the application modes.
•

In Run mode, the regulator supplies full power to the 1.8 V domain (core, memories
and digital peripherals).

•

In Stop mode the regulator supplies low-power to the 1.8 V domain, preserving
contents of registers and SRAM. This mode is automatically disabled when the USART,
CEC, or I2C peripheral requires a clock in Stop mode.

•

In Standby Mode, the regulator is powered off. The contents of the registers and SRAM
are lost except for the Standby circuitry and the RTC Domain.

STM32F378xx microcontrollers
The internal voltage regulator is bypassed in STM32F378xx devices (unlike the
STM32F373xx where the voltage regulator is functional). In this case, the microcontroller
must be powered from a nominal VDD = 1.8 V ± 8% voltage.
In STM32F378xx microcontrollers, the external NPOR input pin replaces the internal POR
signal. The external NPOR pin must be controlled by the application (released after all
supply voltages are stabilized) and be connected to VDDA through a pull-up resistor. This pin
replaces PB2 GPIO pin.

6.2

Power supply supervisor

6.2.1

Power on reset (POR)/power down reset (PDR)
The device has an integrated power-on reset (POR) and power-down reset (PDR) circuits
which are always active and ensure proper operation above a threshold of 2 V.
The device remains in Reset mode when the monitored supply voltage is below a specified
threshold, VPOR/PDR, without the need for an external reset circuit.
•

The POR monitors only the VDD/VDDSD12 supply voltage. During startup phase, VDDA
must arrive first and be higher than or equal to VDD.

•

The PDR monitors all VDD/VDDA/VDDSD12 supply voltages. However, if the application
is designed with VDDA/VDDSD12 higher than or equal to VDD, the VDDA and VDDSD12
power supply supervisor can be disabled (by programming a dedicated
VDDA_MONITOR and SDADC12_VDD_MONITOR option bits) to reduce the power
consumption.

For more details on the power on /power down reset threshold, refer to the electrical
characteristics section in the datasheet.

VDDSD12 monitoring
VDDSD12 supply is monitored comparing it with the internal reference voltage (VREFINT). At
startup, the supply voltage monitoring defaults to be active. It can then be disabled through
the SDADC12_VDD_MONITOR option bit. Assuming VDDA and VDD are instantaneously
available at startup, the system waits for VDDSD12 to exceed VREFINT voltage before
releasing the reset.
VDDSD3 is not monitored, so even if VDDSD12 is usually higher or lower than VDDSD3,
the application has to make sure that VDDSD3 is set up before VDDSD12.

Constrains on VDDSDx versus VREFSD voltage
When the reference voltage for SDADC converters (VREFSD+) is selected from SDADC
power supply (REFV[1:0] bits of SDADC_CR1 register set to 11), the reference is provided
by converters analog supplies (VDDSD12 and VDDSD3) and VDDSD12 must be at the
same voltage level as VDDSD3.
Note:

There is one exception if SDADC1 and SDADC2 converters are disabled and SDADC3 is
enabled (through ENSDx bits in PWR_CR register and ADON bit in SDADC_CR2 register).
In this case, VDDSD12 can be lower than VDDSD3 and the reference voltage can be
provided by VDDSD3.
In STM32F378xx devices (VDD=1.8 V+/8%), VDDSD12 monitoring is OFF like the other
supply voltage monitoring systems. This means that the application should take care of
monitoring it externally and of releasing the external power on NPOR reset pin after powerup and when all supply voltages are stable.

Programmable voltage detector (PVD)
You can use the PVD to monitor the VDD power supply by comparing it to a threshold
selected by the PLS[2:0] bits in the Power control register (PWR_CR).
The PVD is enabled by setting the PVDE bit.
A PVDO flag is available, in the Power control/status register (PWR_CSR), to indicate if VDD
is higher or lower than the PVD threshold. This event is internally connected to the EXTI
line16 and can generate an interrupt if enabled through the EXTI registers. The PVD output
interrupt can be generated when VDD drops below the PVD threshold and/or when VDD
rises above the PVD threshold depending on EXTI line16 rising/falling edge configuration.
As an example the service routine could perform emergency shutdown tasks.

Note:

In STM32F378xx devices (VDD = 1.8 V ± 8 %), the POR, PDR and PVD features are not
available. The Power-on reset signal is applied on the NPOR pin. See details in the
following section.

6.2.3

External NPOR signal
In STM32F378xx devices (powered from 1.8 V ± 8 %), the POR, PDR and PVD features are
not available and the application must provide the reset signal to the external NPOR pin.
The NPOR signal is active low, and must be driven to VSS when the VDDA is applied. Then,
when VDD is stable, it can be released (high impedance) and the internal pull-up will hold
this input to VDDA. The NPOR signal can also be controlled by using an open-drain driver
circuitry.
In STM32F378xx devices, PB2 I/O is not available and is replaced by the NPOR
functionality.

Low-power modes
By default, the microcontroller is in Run mode after a system or a power Reset. Several lowpower modes are available to save power when the CPU does not need to be kept running,
for example when waiting for an external event. It is up to the user to select the mode that
gives the best compromise between low-power consumption, short startup time and
available wakeup sources.
The device features three low-power modes:
•

Sleep mode (CPU clock off, all peripherals including Cortex®-M4 with FPU core
peripherals like NVIC, SysTick, etc. are kept running)

•

Stop mode (all clocks are stopped)

•

Standby mode (1.8 V domain powered-off)

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

Slowing down the system clocks

•

Gating the clocks to the APB and AHB peripherals when they are unused.

6.3.1

Slowing down system clocks
In Run mode the speed of the system clocks (SYSCLK, HCLK, PCLK) can be reduced by

peripherals before entering Sleep mode.

Peripheral clock gating
In Run mode, the HCLK and PCLK for individual peripherals and memories can be stopped

To further reduce power consumption in Sleep mode the peripheral clocks can be disabled
prior to executing the WFI or WFE instructions.
Peripheral clock gating is controlled by the AHB peripheral clock enable register
(RCC_AHBENR)

6.3.3

Low power modes
Entering low power mode
Low power modes are entered by the MCU by executing the WFI (Wait For Interrupt), or
WFE (Wait for Event) instructions, or when the SLEEPONEXIT bit in the Cortex®-M4 with
FPU System Control register is set on Return from ISR.

Exiting low power mode
From Sleep modes, and Stop modes the MCU exit low power mode depending on the way
the low power mode was entered:
•
If the WFI instruction or Return from ISR was used to enter the low power mode, any
peripheral interrupt acknowledged by the NVIC can wake up the device.
•

If the WFE instruction is used to enter the low power mode, the MCU exits the low
power mode as soon as an event occurs. The wakeup event can be generated either
by:
–

NVIC IRQ interrupt.
- When SEVONPEND = 0 in the Cortex®-M4 with FPU System Control register. By
enabling an interrupt in the peripheral control register and in the NVIC. When the
MCU resumes from WFE, the peripheral interrupt pending bit and the NVIC
peripheral IRQ channel pending bit (in the NVIC interrupt clear pending register)
have to be cleared.
Only NVIC interrupts with sufficient priority will wakeup and interrupt the MCU.
- When SEVONPEND = 1 in the Cortex®-M4 with FPU System Control register.
By enabling an interrupt in the peripheral control register and optionally in the
NVIC. When the MCU resumes from WFE, the peripheral interrupt pending bit and
when enabled the NVIC peripheral IRQ channel pending bit (in the NVIC interrupt
clear pending register) have to be cleared.
All NVIC interrupts will wakeup the MCU, even the disabled ones. Only enabled
NVIC interrupts with sufficient priority will wakeup and interrupt the MCU.

–

Event
Configuring a EXTI line in event mode. When the CPU resumes from WFE, it is
not necessary to clear the EXTI peripheral interrupt pending bit or the NVIC IRQ
channel pending bit as the pending bits corresponding to the event line is not set.

It may be necessary to clear the interrupt flag in the peripheral.
From Standby mode the MCU exit low power mode through an external reset (NRST pin),
an IWDG reset, a rising edge on one of the enabled WKUPx pins or a RTC event occurs
(see Figure 165: RTC block diagrams).

Stop mode
The Stop mode is based on the Cortex®-M4 with FPU deepsleep mode combined with
peripheral clock gating. The voltage regulator can be configured either in normal or lowpower mode in STM32F373xx devices. In STM32F378xx, it is meaningless to distinguish
between voltage regulator in low-power mode and voltage regulator in Run mode, because
the regulator is not used and VDD is applied externally to the regulator output..
In Stop mode, all clocks in the 1.8 V domain are stopped, the PLL, the HSI and the HSE RC
oscillators are disabled, SRAM and register contents are preserved.
The I2C, CEC, and USART peripherals are an exception since they require a given kernel
clock in Stop mode. In this case, when this specific clock request is ON, the power controller
automatically forces the regulator to be ON as well, to prevent the device to operate in lowpower mode since the regulator would not sustain the current required by the peripherals.

In the Stop mode, all I/O pins keep the same state as in Run mode.

Entering Stop mode
The Stop mode is entered according Section : Entering low power mode, when the
SLEEPDEEP bit in the Cortex®-M4 with FPU System Control register is set.
Refer to Table 15 for details on how to enter the Stop mode.
To further reduce power consumption in Stop mode, the internal voltage regulator can be put
in low-power mode. This is configured by the LPDS bit of the Power control register
(PWR_CR).
If Flash memory programming is ongoing, the Stop mode entry is delayed until the memory
access is finished.
If an access to the APB domain is ongoing, The Stop mode entry is delayed until the APB
access is finished.
In Stop mode, the following features can be selected by programming individual control bits:
•

Independent watchdog (IWDG): the IWDG is started by writing to its Key register or by
hardware option. Once started it cannot be stopped except by a Reset. See
Section 21.3: IWDG functional description in Section 21: Independent watchdog
(IWDG).

•

real-time clock (RTC): this is configured by the RTCEN bit in the RTC domain control
register (RCC_BDCR)

•

Internal RC oscillator (LSI RC): this is configured by the LSION bit in the Control/status
register (RCC_CSR).

•

External 32.768 kHz oscillator (LSE OSC): this is configured by the LSEON bit in the
RTC domain control register (RCC_BDCR).

The SDADC, ADC or DAC can also consume power during the Stop mode, unless they are
disabled before entering it. To disable them, the ADON bit in the ADC_CR2 register and the
ENx bit in the DAC_CR register must both be written to 0.
Note:

If the application needs to disable the external oscillator (external clock) before entering
Stop mode, the system clock source must be first switched to HSI and then clear the
HSEON bit.
Otherwise, if before entering Stop mode the HSEON bit is kept at 1, the security system
(CSS) feature must be enabled to detect any external oscillator (external clock) failure and
avoid a malfunction when entering Stop mode.

Exiting Stop mode
The Stop mode is exit according Section : Entering low power mode.
Refer to Table 15 for more details on how to exit Stop mode.
When exiting Stop mode by issuing an interrupt or a wakeup event, the HSI RC oscillator is
selected as system clock.
When the voltage regulator operates in low-power mode, an additional startup delay is
incurred when waking up from Stop mode. By keeping the internal regulator ON during Stop
mode, the consumption is higher although the startup time is reduced.

6.3.6

HSI RC wakeup time + regulator wakeup time from Low-power mode

Standby mode
The Standby mode allows to achieve the lowest power consumption. It is based on the
Cortex®-M4 with FPU deepsleep mode, with the voltage regulator disabled. The 1.8 V
domain is consequently powered off. The PLL, the HSI oscillator and the HSE oscillator are
also switched off. SRAM and register contents are lost except for registers in the RTC
domain (see Figure 6).

Caution:

In the STM32F378xx devices, the Standby mode is not available.

Entering Standby mode
The Standby mode is entered according Section : Entering low power mode, when the
SLEEPDEEP bit in the Cortex®-M4 with FPU System Control register is set.
Refer to Table 16 for more details on how to enter Standby mode.
In Standby mode, the following features can be selected by programming individual control
bits:
•

Independent watchdog (IWDG): the IWDG is started by writing to its Key register or by
hardware option. Once started it cannot be stopped except by a reset. See
Section 21.3: IWDG functional description in Section 21: Independent watchdog
(IWDG).

•

real-time clock (RTC): this is configured by the RTCEN bit in the RTC domain control
register (RCC_BDCR)

•

Internal RC oscillator (LSI RC): this is configured by the LSION bit in the Control/status
register (RCC_CSR).

•

External 32.768 kHz oscillator (LSE OSC): this is configured by the LSEON bit in the
RTC domain control register (RCC_BDCR)

Exiting Standby mode
The microcontroller exits the Standby mode when an external reset (NRST pin), an IWDG
reset, a rising edge on the WKUP pin or the rising edge of an RTC alarm occurs (see
Figure 165: RTC block diagram). All registers are reset after wakeup from Standby except
for Power control/status register (PWR_CSR).
After waking up from Standby mode, program execution restarts in the same way as after a
Reset (boot pins sampling, vector reset is fetched, etc.). The SBF status flag in the Power
control/status register (PWR_CSR) indicates that the MCU was in Standby mode.
Refer to Table 16 for more details on how to exit Standby mode.

I/O states in Standby mode
In Standby mode, all I/O pins are high impedance except:
•

Reset pad (still available)

•

TAMPER pin if configured for tamper or calibration out

•

WKUP pin, if enabled

Debug mode
By default, the debug connection is lost if the application puts the MCU in Stop or Standby
mode while the debug features are used. This is due to the fact that the Cortex®-M4 with
FPU core is no longer clocked.
However, by setting some configuration bits in the DBGMCU_CR register, the software can
be debugged even when using the low-power modes extensively.For more details, refer to
Section 31.16.1: Debug support for low-power modes.

6.3.7

Auto-wakeup from low-power mode
The RTC can be used to wakeup the MCU from low-power mode without depending on an
external interrupt (Auto-wakeup mode). The RTC provides a programmable time base for
waking up from Stop or Standby mode at regular intervals. For this purpose, two of the three
alternative RTC clock sources can be selected by programming the RTCSEL[1:0] bits in the
RTC domain control register (RCC_BDCR):
•

Low-power 32.768 kHz external crystal oscillator (LSE OSC).
This clock source provides a precise time base with very low-power consumption (less
than 1µA added consumption in typical conditions)

•

Low-power internal RC Oscillator (LSI RC)
This clock source has the advantage of saving the cost of the 32.768 kHz crystal. This
internal RC Oscillator is designed to add minimum power consumption.

To wakeup from Stop mode with an RTC alarm event, it is necessary to:
•

Configure the EXTI Line 17 to be sensitive to rising edge

•

Configure the RTC to generate the RTC alarm

To wakeup from Standby mode, there is no need to configure the EXTI Line 17.

Reset and clock control (RCC)

7.1

Reset
There are three types of reset, defined as system reset, power reset and RTC domain reset.

7.1.1

Power reset
A power reset is generated when one of the following events occurs:
1.

Power-on/power-down reset (POR/PDR reset)

2.

When exiting Standby mode

A power reset sets all registers to their reset values except the RTC domain (Figure 6 on
page 76).
In STM32F378xx devices, the POR/PDR reset is not functional and the Standby mode is not
available. Power reset must be provided from an external NPOR pin (active low and
released by the application when all supply voltages are stabilized).

7.1.2

System reset
A system reset sets all registers to their reset values except the reset flags in the clock
controller CSR register and the registers in the RTC domain (see Figure 6 on page 76).
A system reset is generated when one of the following events occurs:
1.

A low level on the NRST pin (external reset)

2.

Window watchdog event (WWDG reset)

3.

Independent watchdog event (IWDG reset)

4.

A software reset (SW reset) (see Software reset)

5.

Low-power management reset (see Low-power management reset)

6.

Option byte loader reset (see Option byte loader reset)

7.

A power reset

The reset source can be identified by checking the reset flags in the Control/Status register,
RCC_CSR (see Section 7.4.10: Control/status register (RCC_CSR)).
These sources act on the NRST pin and it is always kept low during the delay phase. The
RESET service routine vector is fixed at address 0x0000_0004 in the memory map.
The system reset signal provided to the device is output on the NRST pin. The pulse
generator guarantees a minimum reset pulse duration of 20 µs for each internal reset
source. In case of an external reset, the reset pulse is generated while the NRST pin is
asserted low.

Software reset
The SYSRESETREQ bit in Cortex®-M4 with FPU Application Interrupt and Reset Control
Register must be set to force a software reset on the device. Refer to the Cortex®-M0
technical reference manual for more details.

Low-power management reset
There are two ways to generate a low-power management reset:
1.

Reset generated when entering Standby mode:
This type of reset is enabled by resetting nRST_STDBY bit in User Option Bytes. In this
case, whenever a Standby mode entry sequence is successfully executed, the device
is reset instead of entering Standby mode.

2.

Reset when entering Stop mode:
This type of reset is enabled by resetting nRST_STOP bit in User Option Bytes. In this
case, whenever a Stop mode entry sequence is successfully executed, the device is
reset instead of entering Stop mode.

For further information on the User Option Bytes, refer to Section 4: Option byte.

Option byte loader reset
The option byte loader reset is generated when the OBL_LAUNCH bit (bit 13) is set in the
FLASH_CR register. This bit is used to launch the option byte loading by software.

7.1.3

RTC domain reset
The RTC domain has two specific resets that affect only the RTC domain (Figure 6 on
page 76).
An RTC domain reset only affects the LSE oscillator, the RTC, the Backup registers and the
RCC RTC domain control register (RCC_BDCR). It is generated when one of the following
events occurs.

98/904

1.

Software reset, triggered by setting the BDRST bit in the RTC domain control register
(RCC_BDCR).

2.

VDD power-up if VBAT has been disconnected when it was low.

DocID022448 Rev 5

RM0313

Reset and clock control (RCC)
The Backup registers are also reset when one of the following events occurs:

7.2

1.

RTC tamper detection event.

2.

Change of the read out protection from level 1 to level 0.

Clocks
Three different clock sources can be used to drive the system clock (SYSCLK):
•

HSI 8 MHZ RC oscillator clock

•

HSE oscillator clock

•

PLL clock

The devices have the following additional clock sources:
•

40 kHz low speed internal RC (LSI RC) which drives the independent watchdog and
optionally the RTC used for Auto-wakeup from Stop/Standby mode.

•

32.768 kHz low speed external crystal (LSE crystal) which optionally drives the realtime clock (RTCCLK)

Each clock source can be switched on or off independently when it is not used, to optimize
power consumption.
Several prescalers allow to configure the frequency of the AHB, the high speed APB (APB2)
and the low speed APB (APB1) domains. The AHB and the high speed APB domains
maximum frequency is 72 MHz, while the low speed APB domain maximum frequency is
36 MHz.
The Cortex® system timer is always clocked by the AHB clock divided by 8 or directly by the
AHB clock (through Cortex® Systick configuration bits).

The CEC clock which is derived from the HSI clock divided by 244 or from the LSE
clock.

•

The I2S clock which is always the system clock.

•

The RTC clock which is derived from the LSE, LSI or from the HSE clock divided by 32.

•

The IWDG clock which is always the LSI clock.

•

The timer clock frequencies are twice the frequency of the APB domain to which they
are connected. Nevertheless, if the APB prescaler is 1, the timer clock frequency is the
same as the frequency of the APB domain to which it is connected.

The RCC feeds the Cortex® System Timer (SysTick) external clock with the AHB clock
(HCLK) divided by 8. The SysTick can work either with this clock or directly with the Cortex®
clock (HCLK), configurable in the SysTick Control and Status Register.

1. For full details about the internal and external clock source characteristics, please refer to the “Electrical
characteristics” section in your device datasheet.

7.2.1

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

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 startup stabilization time. The
loading capacitance values must be adjusted according to the selected oscillator.

External crystal/ceramic resonator (HSE crystal)
The 4 to 32 MHz external oscillator has the advantage of producing a very accurate rate on
the main clock.
The associated hardware configuration is shown in Figure 13. Refer to the electrical
characteristics section of the datasheet for more details.
The HSERDY flag in the Clock control register (RCC_CR) indicates if the HSE oscillator is
stable or not. At startup, the clock is not released until this bit is set by hardware. An
interrupt can be generated if enabled in the Clock interrupt register (RCC_CIR).
The HSE crystal can be switched on and off using the HSEON bit in the Clock control
register (RCC_CR).
Caution:

To switch ON the HSE oscillator, 512 HSE clock pulses need to be seen by an internal
stabilization counter after the HSEON bit is set. Even in the case that no crystal or resonator
is connected to the device, excessive external noise on the OSC_IN pin may still lead the
oscillator to start. Once the oscillator is started, it needs another 6 HSE clock pulses to
complete a switching OFF sequence. If for any reason the oscillations are no more present
on the OSC_IN pin, the oscillator cannot be switched OFF, locking the OSC pins from any
other use and introducing unwanted power consumption. To avoid such situation, it is
strongly recommended to always enable the Clock Security System (CSS) which is able to
switch OFF the oscillator even in this case.

External source (HSE bypass)
In this mode, an external clock source must be provided. It can have a frequency of up to
32 MHz. You select this mode by setting the HSEBYP and HSEON bits in the Clock control
register (RCC_CR). The external clock signal (square, sinus or triangle) with ~40-60% duty
cycle depending on the frequency (refer to the datasheet) has to drive the OSC_IN pin while
the OSC_OUT pin can be used as GPIO. See Figure 13.

7.2.2

RM0313

HSI clock
The HSI clock signal is generated from an internal 8 MHz RC Oscillator and can be used
directly as a system clock or divided by 2 to be used as PLL input.
The HSI RC oscillator has the advantage of providing a clock source 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
RC oscillator frequencies can vary from one chip to another due to manufacturing process
variations, this is why each device is factory calibrated by ST for 1% accuracy at TA=25°C.
After reset, the factory calibration value is loaded in the HSICAL[7:0] bits in the Clock control
register (RCC_CR).
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 HSITRIM[4:0]
bits in the Clock control register (RCC_CR).
For more details on how to measure the HSI frequency variation please refer to
Section 7.2.13: Internal/external clock measurement using TIM14 on page 108.
The HSIRDY flag in the Clock control register (RCC_CR) indicates if the HSI RC is stable or
not. At startup, the HSI RC output clock is not released until this bit is set by hardware.
The HSI RC can be switched on and off using the HSION bit in the Clock control register
(RCC_CR).
The HSI signal can also be used as a backup source (Auxiliary clock) if the HSE crystal
oscillator fails. Refer to Section 7.2.7: Clock security system (CSS) on page 106.

7.2.3

PLL
The internal PLL can be used to multiply the HSI or HSE output clock frequency. Refer to
Figure 11 and Clock control register (RCC_CR).
The PLL configuration (selection of the input clock, and multiplication factor) must be done
before enabling the PLL. Once the PLL is enabled, these parameters cannot be changed.
To modify the PLL configuration, proceed as follows:
1.

Disable the PLL by setting PLLON to 0.

2.

Wait until PLLRDY is cleared. The PLL is now fully stopped.

3.

Change the desired parameter.

4.

Enable the PLL again by setting PLLON to 1.

An interrupt can be generated when the PLL is ready, if enabled in the Clock interrupt
register (RCC_CIR).
The PLL output frequency must be set in the range 16-72 MHz.

7.2.4

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 but highly accurate clock source to the real-time clock
peripheral (RTC) for clock/calendar or other timing functions.

104/904

DocID022448 Rev 5

RM0313

Reset and clock control (RCC)
The LSE crystal is switched on and off using the LSEON bit in RTC domain control register
(RCC_BDCR). The crystal oscillator driving strength can be changed at runtime using the
LSEDRV[1:0] bits in the RTC domain control register (RCC_BDCR) to obtain the best
compromise between robustness and short start-up time on one side and low-powerconsumption on the other.
The LSERDY flag in the RTC domain control register (RCC_BDCR) indicates whether the
LSE crystal is stable or not. At startup, the LSE crystal output clock signal is not released
until this bit is set by hardware. An interrupt can be generated if enabled in the Clock
interrupt register (RCC_CIR).

Caution:

To switch ON the LSE oscillator, 4096 LSE clock pulses need to be seen by an internal
stabilization counter after the LSEON bit is set. Even in the case that no crystal or resonator
is connected to the device, excessive external noise on the OSC32_IN pin may still lead the
oscillator to start. Once the oscillator is started, it needs another 6 LSE clock pulses to
complete a switching OFF sequence. If for any reason the oscillations are no more present
on the OSC_IN pin, the oscillator cannot be switched OFF, locking the OSC32 pins from any
other use and introducing unwanted power consumption. The only way to recover such
situation is to perform the RTC domain reset by software.

External source (LSE bypass)
In this mode, an external clock source must be provided. It can have a frequency of up to
1 MHz. You select this mode by setting the LSEBYP and LSEON bits in the RTC domain
control register (RCC_BDCR). The external clock signal (square, sinus or triangle) with
~50% duty cycle has to drive the OSC32_IN pin while the OSC32_OUT pin can be used as
GPIO. See Figure 13.

7.2.5

LSI clock
The LSI RC acts as a low-power clock source that can be kept running in Stop and Standby
mode for the independent window watchdog (IWDG) and RTC. The clock frequency is
around 40 kHz (between 30 kHz and 60 kHz). For more details, refer to the electrical
characteristics section of the datasheets.
The LSI RC can be switched on and off using the LSION bit in the Control/status register
(RCC_CSR).
The LSIRDY flag in the Control/status register (RCC_CSR) indicates if the LSI oscillator is
stable or not. At startup, the clock is not released until this bit is set by hardware. An
interrupt can be generated if enabled in the Clock interrupt register (RCC_CIR).

7.2.6

System clock (SYSCLK) selection
Three different clock sources can be used to drive the system clock (SYSCLK):
•

HSI oscillator

•

HSE oscillator

•

PLL

After a system reset, the HSI oscillator is selected as system clock. When a clock source is
used directly or through the PLL as a system clock, it is not possible to stop it.
A switch from one clock source to another occurs only if the target clock source is ready
(clock stable after startup delay or PLL locked). If a clock source which is not yet ready is
selected, the switch will occur when the clock source becomes ready. Status bits in the

DocID022448 Rev 5

139

Reset and clock control (RCC)

RM0313

Clock control register (RCC_CR) indicate which clock(s) is (are) ready and which clock is
currently used as a system clock.

7.2.7

Clock security system (CSS)
Clock Security System can be activated by software. In this case, the clock detector is
enabled after the HSE oscillator startup delay, and disabled when this oscillator is stopped.
If a failure is detected on the HSE clock, the HSE oscillator is automatically disabled, a clock
failure event is sent to the break input of the TIM15/TIM16/TIM17 timers and an interrupt is
generated to inform the software about the failure (Clock Security System Interrupt CSSI),
allowing the MCU to perform rescue operations. The CSSI is linked to the Cortex®-M4 with
FPU NMI (Non-Maskable Interrupt) exception vector.

Note:

Once the CSS is enabled and if the HSE clock fails, the CSS interrupt occurs and an NMI is
automatically generated. The NMI will be executed indefinitely unless the CSS interrupt
pending bit is cleared. As a consequence, in the NMI ISR user must clear the CSS interrupt
by setting the CSSC bit in the Clock interrupt register (RCC_CIR).
If the HSE oscillator is used directly or indirectly as the system clock (indirectly means: it is
used as PLL input clock, and the PLL clock is used as system clock), a detected failure
causes a switch of the system clock to the HSI oscillator and the disabling of the HSE
oscillator. If the HSE clock (divided or not) is the clock entry of the PLL used as system clock
when the failure occurs, the PLL is disabled too.

7.2.8

ADC clock
The ADC clock is derived from the APB2 high speed clock divided by 2,4,6,8 (duty cycle
50%).

7.2.9

SDADC clock
The SDADC clock source is derived from the system clock divided by a selectable divider
with a 50% duty cycle. Possible division factors are 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32,
36, 40, 44, and 48.
The SDADC clock is automatically stopped in deepsleep mode.
The maximum and minimum operating frequencies of the SDAC are 6 MHz and 500 kHz,
respectively.

7.2.10

RTC clock
The RTCCLK clock source can be either the HSE/32, LSE or LSI clocks. This is selected by
programming the RTCSEL[1:0] bits in the RTC domain control register (RCC_BDCR). This
selection cannot be modified without resetting the RTC domain. The system must be always
configured in a way that the PCLK frequency is greater than or equal to the RTCCLK
frequency for proper operation of the RTC.

106/904

DocID022448 Rev 5

RM0313

Reset and clock control (RCC)
The LSE clock is in the RTC domain, whereas the HSE and LSI clocks are not.
Consequently:
•

If LSE is selected as RTC clock:
–

•

If LSI is selected as the RTC clock:
–

•

The RTC state is not guaranteed if the VDD supply is powered off.

If the HSE clock divided by 32 is used as the RTC clock:
–

7.2.11

The RTC continues to work even if the VDD supply is switched off, provided the
VBAT supply is maintained.

The RTC state is not guaranteed if the VDD supply is powered off or if the internal
voltage regulator is powered off (removing power from the 1.8 V domain).

Watchdog clock
If the Independent watchdog (IWDG) is started by either hardware option or software
access, the LSI oscillator is forced ON and cannot be disabled. After the LSI oscillator
temporization, the clock is provided to the IWDG.

7.2.12

Clock-out capability
The microcontroller clock output (MCO) capability allows the clock to be output onto the
external MCO pin. The configuration registers of the corresponding GPIO port must be
programmed in alternate function mode. One of 5 clock signals can be selected as the MCO
clock.
•

LSI

•

LSE

•

SYSCLK

•

The selection is controlled by the MCO[2:0] bits of the Clock configuration register

Internal/external clock measurement using TIM14
It is possible to indirectly measure the frequency of all on-board clock sources by mean of
the TIM14 channel 1 input capture. As represented on Figure 14.

The input capture channel of the Timer 14 can be a GPIO line or an internal clock of the
MCU. This selection is performed through the TI1_RMP [1:0] bits in the TIM14_OR register.
The possibilities available are the following ones.
•

TIM14 Channel1 is connected to the GPIO. Refer to the alternate function mapping in
the device datasheets.

•

TIM14 Channel1 is connected to the RTCCLK.

•

TIM14 Channel1 is connected to the HSE/32 Clock.

•

TIM14 Channel1 is connected to the microcontroller clock output (MCO). Refer to
section Section 7.2.12: Clock-out capability for MCO clock configuration.

Calibration of the HSI
The primary purpose of connecting the LSE, through the MCO multiplexer, to the channel 1
input capture is to be able to precisely measure the HSI system clocks (for this, the HSI
should be used as the system clock source). The number of HSI clock counts between
consecutive edges of the LSE signal provides a measure of the internal clock period. Taking
advantage of the high precision of LSE crystals (typically a few tens of ppm’s), it is possible
to determine the internal clock frequency with the same resolution, and trim the source to
compensate for manufacturing-process- and/or temperature- and voltage-related frequency
deviations.
The HSI oscillator has dedicated user-accessible calibration bits for this purpose.
The basic concept consists in providing a relative measurement (e.g. the HSI/LSE ratio): the
precision is therefore closely related to the ratio between the two clock sources. The higher
the ratio is, the better the measurement will be.
If LSE is not available, HSE/32 will be the better option in order to reach the most precise
calibration possible.

Calibration of the LSI
The calibration of the LSI will follow the same pattern that for the HSI, but changing the
reference clock. It will be necessary to connect LSI clock to the channel 1 input capture of
the TIM14. Then define the HSE as system clock source, the number of its clock counts

between consecutive edges of the LSI signal provides a measure of the internal low speed
clock period.
The basic concept consists in providing a relative measurement (e.g. the HSE/LSI ratio): the
precision is therefore closely related to the ratio between the two clock sources. The higher
the ratio is, the better the measurement will be.

7.3

Low-power modes
APB peripheral clocks and DMA clock can be disabled by software.
Sleep mode stops the CPU clock. The memory interface clocks (Flash and RAM interfaces)
can be stopped by software during sleep mode. The AHB to APB bridge clocks are disabled
by hardware during Sleep mode when all the clocks of the peripherals connected to them
are disabled.
Stop mode stops all the clocks in the V18 domain and disables the PLL and the HSI, and
HSE oscillators.
HDMI CEC, USART1/2/3, and I2C1/2 have the capability to enable the HSI oscillator even
when the MCU is in Stop mode (if HSI is selected as the clock source for that peripheral).
HDMI CEC and USART1/2/3 can also be driven by the LSE oscillator when the system is in
Stop mode (if LSE is selected as clock source for that peripheral) and the LSE oscillator is
enabled (LSEON) but they do not have the capability to turn on the LSE oscillator.
Standby mode stops all the clocks in the V18 domain and disables the PLL and the HSI, and
HSE oscillators.
The CPU’s deepsleep mode can be overridden for debugging by setting the DBG_STOP or
DBG_STANDBY bits in the DBGMCU_CR register.
When waking up from deepsleep after an interrupt (Stop mode) or reset (Standby mode),
the HSI oscillator is selected as system clock.
If a Flash programming operation is on going, deepsleep mode entry is delayed until the
Flash interface access is finished. If an access to the APB domain is ongoing, deepsleep
mode entry is delayed until the APB access is finished.

Note:

When the peripheral clock is not active, the peripheral register values may not be readable
by software and the returned value is always 0x0.

Reset and clock control (RCC)

7.4.9

RTC domain control register (RCC_BDCR)
Address offset: 0x20
Reset value: 0x0000 0000, reset by RTC domain Reset.
Access: 0 ≤ wait state ≤ 3, word, half-word and byte access
Wait states are inserted in case of successive accesses to this register.

Note:

The LSEON, LSEBYP, RTCSEL and RTCEN bits of the RTC domain control register
(RCC_BDCR) are in the RTC domain. As a result, after Reset, these bits are write-protected
and the DBP bit in the Power control register (PWR_CR) has to be set before these can be
modified. Refer to Section 6.1.3 on page 81 for further information. These bits are only reset
after a RTC domain Reset (see Section 7.1.3: RTC domain reset). Any internal or external
Reset will not have any effect on these bits.

General-purpose I/Os (GPIO)

8.1

Introduction
Each general-purpose I/O port has four 32-bit configuration registers (GPIOx_MODER,
GPIOx_OTYPER, GPIOx_OSPEEDR and GPIOx_PUPDR), two 32-bit data registers
(GPIOx_IDR and GPIOx_ODR), a 32-bit set/reset register (GPIOx_BSRR), a 32-bit locking
register (GPIOx_LCKR) and two 32-bit alternate function selection registers (GPIOx_AFRH
and GPIOx_AFRL).

8.2

8.3

GPIO main features
•

Output states: push-pull or open drain + pull-up/down

•

Output data from output data register (GPIOx_ODR) or peripheral (alternate function
output)

•

Speed selection for each I/O

•

Input states: floating, pull-up/down, analog

•

Input data to input data register (GPIOx_IDR) or peripheral (alternate function input)

•

Bit set and reset register (GPIOx_ BSRR) for bitwise write access to GPIOx_ODR

•

Locking mechanism (GPIOx_LCKR) provided to freeze the port A, B and D I/O port
configuration.

•

Analog function

•

Alternate function selection registers

•

Fast toggle capable of changing every one AHB clock cycle

•

Highly flexible pin multiplexing allows the use of I/O pins as GPIOs or as one of several
peripheral functions

GPIO functional description
Subject to the specific hardware characteristics of each I/O port listed in the datasheet, each
port bit of the general-purpose I/O (GPIO) ports can be individually configured by software in
several modes:
•

Input floating

•

Input pull-up

•

Input-pull-down

•

Analog

•

Output open-drain with pull-up or pull-down capability

•

Output push-pull with pull-up or pull-down capability

•

Alternate function push-pull with pull-up or pull-down capability

•

Alternate function open-drain with pull-up or pull-down capability

Each I/O port bit is freely programmable, however the I/O port registers have to be
accessed as 32-bit words, half-words or bytes. The purpose of the GPIOx_BSRR and
GPIOx_BRR registers is to allow atomic read/modify accesses to any of the GPIOx_ODR

8.3.1

General-purpose I/O (GPIO)
During and just after reset, the alternate functions are not active and most of the I/O ports
are configured in input floating mode.
The debug pins are in AF pull-up/pull-down after reset:

DocID022448 Rev 5

RM0313

General-purpose I/Os (GPIO)
When the pin is configured as output, the value written to the output data register
(GPIOx_ODR) is output on the I/O pin. It is possible to use the output driver in push-pull
mode or open-drain mode (only the low level is driven, high level is HI-Z).
The input data register (GPIOx_IDR) captures the data present on the I/O pin at every AHB
clock cycle.
All GPIO pins have weak internal pull-up and pull-down resistors, which can be activated or
not depending on the value in the GPIOx_PUPDR register.

8.3.2

I/O pin alternate function multiplexer and mapping
The device I/O pins are connected to on-board peripherals/modules through a multiplexer
that allows only one peripheral alternate function (AF) connected to an I/O pin at a time. In
this way, there can be no conflict between peripherals available on the same I/O pin.
Each I/O pin has a multiplexer with up to sixteen alternate function inputs (AF0 to AF15) that
can be configured through the GPIOx_AFRL (for pin 0 to 7) and GPIOx_AFRH (for pin 8 to
15) registers:
•

After reset the multiplexer selection is alternate function 0 (AF0). The I/Os are
configured in alternate function mode through GPIOx_MODER register.

•

The specific alternate function assignments for each pin are detailed in the device
datasheet.

In addition to this flexible I/O multiplexing architecture, each peripheral has alternate
functions mapped onto different I/O pins to optimize the number of peripherals available in
smaller packages.
To use an I/O in a given configuration, the user has to proceed as follows:
•

Debug function: after each device reset these pins are assigned as alternate function
pins immediately usable by the debugger host

•

GPIO: configure the desired I/O as output, input or analog in the GPIOx_MODER
register.

•

Peripheral alternate function:

•

•

–

Connect the I/O to the desired AFx in one of the GPIOx_AFRL or GPIOx_AFRH
register.

–

Select the type, pull-up/pull-down and output speed via the GPIOx_OTYPER,
GPIOx_PUPDR and GPIOx_OSPEEDER registers, respectively.

–

Configure the desired I/O as an alternate function in the GPIOx_MODER register.

Additional functions:
–

For the ADC and DACs, configure the desired I/O in analog mode in the
GPIOx_MODER register and configure the required function in the ADC or DAC
registers.

–

For the additional functions like RTC, WKUPx and oscillators, configure the
required function in the related RTC, PWR and RCC registers. These functions
have priority over the configuration in the standard GPIO registers.

EVENTOUT
–

Note:

Configure the I/O pin used to output the core EVENTOUT signal by connecting it
to AF15.

EVENTOUT is not mapped onto the following I/O pins: PC13, PC14, PC15, PF0, and PF1.

General-purpose I/Os (GPIO)

RM0313

Please refer to the “Alternate function mapping” table in the device datasheet for the
detailed mapping of the alternate function I/O pins.

8.3.3

I/O port control registers
Each of the GPIO ports has four 32-bit memory-mapped control registers (GPIOx_MODER,
GPIOx_OTYPER, GPIOx_OSPEEDR, GPIOx_PUPDR) to configure up to 16 I/Os. The
GPIOx_MODER register is used to select the I/O mode (input, output, AF, analog). The
GPIOx_OTYPER and GPIOx_OSPEEDR registers are used to select the output type (pushpull or open-drain) and speed. The GPIOx_PUPDR register is used to select the pullup/pull-down whatever the I/O direction.

8.3.4

I/O port data registers
Each GPIO has two 16-bit memory-mapped data registers: input and output data registers
(GPIOx_IDR and GPIOx_ODR). GPIOx_ODR stores the data to be output, it is read/write
accessible. The data input through the I/O are stored into the input data register
(GPIOx_IDR), a read-only register.
See Section 8.4.5: GPIO port input data register (GPIOx_IDR) (x = A..F) and Section 8.4.6:
GPIO port output data register (GPIOx_ODR) (x = A..F) for the register descriptions.

8.3.5

I/O data bitwise handling
The bit set reset register (GPIOx_BSRR) is a 32-bit register which allows the application to
set and reset each individual bit in the output data register (GPIOx_ODR). The bit set reset
register has twice the size of GPIOx_ODR.
To each bit in GPIOx_ODR, correspond two control bits in GPIOx_BSRR: BS(i) and BR(i).
When written to 1, bit BS(i) sets the corresponding ODR(i) bit. When written to 1, bit BR(i)
resets the ODR(i) corresponding bit.
Writing any bit to 0 in GPIOx_BSRR does not have any effect on the corresponding bit in
GPIOx_ODR. If there is an attempt to both set and reset a bit in GPIOx_BSRR, the set
action takes priority.
Using the GPIOx_BSRR register to change the values of individual bits in GPIOx_ODR is a
“one-shot” effect that does not lock the GPIOx_ODR bits. The GPIOx_ODR bits can always
be accessed directly. The GPIOx_BSRR register provides a way of performing atomic
bitwise handling.
There is no need for the software to disable interrupts when programming the GPIOx_ODR
at bit level: it is possible to modify one or more bits in a single atomic AHB write access.

8.3.6

GPIO locking mechanism
It is possible to freeze the GPIO control registers by applying a specific write sequence to
the GPIOx_LCKR register. The frozen registers are GPIOx_MODER, GPIOx_OTYPER,
GPIOx_OSPEEDR, GPIOx_PUPDR, GPIOx_AFRL and GPIOx_AFRH.
To write the GPIOx_LCKR register, a specific write / read sequence has to be applied. When
the right LOCK sequence is applied to bit 16 in this register, the value of LCKR[15:0] is used
to lock the configuration of the I/Os (during the write sequence the LCKR[15:0] value must
be the same). When the LOCK sequence has been applied to a port bit, the value of the port
bit can no longer be modified until the next MCU reset or peripheral reset. Each

144/904

DocID022448 Rev 5

RM0313

General-purpose I/Os (GPIO)
GPIOx_LCKR bit freezes the corresponding bit in the control registers (GPIOx_MODER,
GPIOx_OTYPER, GPIOx_OSPEEDR, GPIOx_PUPDR, GPIOx_AFRL and GPIOx_AFRH.
The LOCK sequence (refer to Section 8.4.8: GPIO port configuration lock register
(GPIOx_LCKR) (x = A, B, and D)) can only be performed using a word (32-bit long) access
to the GPIOx_LCKR register due to the fact that GPIOx_LCKR bit 16 has to be set at the
same time as the [15:0] bits.
For more details please refer to LCKR register description in Section 8.4.8: GPIO port
configuration lock register (GPIOx_LCKR) (x = A, B, and D).

8.3.7

I/O alternate function input/output
Two registers are provided to select one of the alternate function inputs/outputs available for
each I/O. With these registers, the user can connect an alternate function to some other pin
as required by the application.
This means that a number of possible peripheral functions are multiplexed on each GPIO
using the GPIOx_AFRL and GPIOx_AFRH alternate function registers. The application can
thus select any one of the possible functions for each I/O. The AF selection signal being
common to the alternate function input and alternate function output, a single channel is
selected for the alternate function input/output of a given I/O.
To know which functions are multiplexed on each GPIO pin, refer to the device datasheet.

8.3.8

External interrupt/wakeup lines
All ports have external interrupt capability. To use external interrupt lines, the port must be
configured in input mode. Refer to Section 11.2: Extended interrupts and events controller
(EXTI) and to Section 11.2.3: Wakeup event management.

8.3.9

Input configuration
When the I/O port is programmed as input:
•

The output buffer is disabled

•

The Schmitt trigger input is activated

•

The pull-up and pull-down resistors are activated depending on the value in the
GPIOx_PUPDR register

•

The data present on the I/O pin are sampled into the input data register every AHB
clock cycle

•

A read access to the input data register provides the I/O state

Using the HSE or LSE oscillator pins as GPIOs
When the HSE or LSE oscillator is switched OFF (default state after reset), the related
oscillator pins can be used as normal GPIOs.
When the HSE or LSE oscillator is switched ON (by setting the HSEON or LSEON bit in the
RCC_CSR register) the oscillator takes control of its associated pins and the GPIO
configuration of these pins has no effect.
When the oscillator is configured in a user external clock mode, only the OSC_IN or
OSC32_IN pin is reserved for clock input and the OSC_OUT or OSC32_OUT pin can still be
used as normal GPIO.

8.3.14

Using the GPIO pins in the RTC supply domain
The PC13/PC14/PC15 GPIO functionality is lost when the core supply domain is powered
off (when the device enters Standby mode). In this case, if their GPIO configuration is not
bypassed by the RTC configuration, these pins are set in an analog input mode.
For details about I/O control by the RTC, refer to Section 23.3: RTC functional description

Bits 31:16 BRy: Port x reset bit y (y = 0..15)
These bits are write-only. A read to these bits returns the value 0x0000.
0: No action on the corresponding ODRx bit
1: Resets the corresponding ODRx bit
Note: If both BSx and BRx are set, BSx has priority.
Bits 15:0 BSy: Port x set bit y (y= 0..15)
These bits are write-only. A read to these bits returns the value 0x0000.
0: No action on the corresponding ODRx bit
1: Sets the corresponding ODRx bit

8.4.8

GPIO port configuration lock register (GPIOx_LCKR)
(x = A, B, and D)
This register is used to lock the configuration of the port bits when a correct write sequence
is applied to bit 16 (LCKK). The value of bits [15:0] is used to lock the configuration of the
GPIO. During the write sequence, the value of LCKR[15:0] must not change. When the
LOCK sequence has been applied on a port bit, the value of this port bit can no longer be
modified until the next MCU reset or peripheral reset.

Note:

A specific write sequence is used to write to the GPIOx_LCKR register. Only word access
(32-bit long) is allowed during this locking sequence.
Each lock bit freezes a specific configuration register (control and alternate function
registers).
Address offset: 0x1C
Reset value: 0x0000 0000

General-purpose I/Os (GPIO)

Bits 31:17 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bit 16 LCKK: Lock key
This bit can be read any time. It can only be modified using the lock key write sequence.
0: Port configuration lock key not active
1: Port configuration lock key active. The GPIOx_LCKR register is locked until the next MCU
reset or peripheral reset.
LOCK key write sequence:
WR LCKR[16] = ‘1’ + LCKR[15:0]
WR LCKR[16] = ‘0’ + LCKR[15:0]
WR LCKR[16] = ‘1’ + LCKR[15:0]
RD LCKR
RD LCKR[16] = ‘1’ (this read operation is optional but it confirms that the lock is active)
Note: During the LOCK key write sequence, the value of LCK[15:0] must not change.
Any error in the lock sequence aborts the lock.
After the first lock sequence on any bit of the port, any read access on the LCKK bit will
return ‘1’ until the next MCU reset or peripheral reset.
Bits 15:0 LCKy: Port x lock bit y (y= 0..15)
These bits are read/write but can only be written when the LCKK bit is ‘0.
0: Port configuration not locked
1: Port configuration locked

System configuration controller (SYSCFG)

System configuration controller (SYSCFG)
The devices feature a set of configuration registers. The main purposes of the system
configuration controller are the following:
•

Enabling/disabling I2C Fast Mode Plus on some I/O ports

•

Remapping some DMA trigger sources from TIM16 and TIM17, USART1, and ADC to
different DMA channels

•

Remapping the memory located at the beginning of the code area

•

Managing the external interrupt line connection to the GPIOs

•

Managing robustness feature

9.1

SYSCFG registers

9.1.1

SYSCFG configuration register 1 (SYSCFG_CFGR1)
This register is used for specific configurations on memory remap.
Two bits are used to configure the type of memory accessible at address 0x0000 0000.
These bits are used to select the physical remap by software and so, bypass the BOOT
pins.
After reset these bits take the value selected by the BOOT pin (BOOT0) and by the option
bite (nBOOT1).
Address offset: 0x00
Reset value: 0x0000 000X (X is the memory mode selected by the BOOT0 pin and nBOOT1
option bit)
)

Direct memory access controller (DMA)

10.1

Introduction
Direct memory access (DMA) is used in order to provide high-speed data transfer between
peripherals and memory as well as memory to memory. Data can be quickly moved by DMA
without any CPU actions. This keeps CPU resources free for other operations.
The two DMA controllers have 12 channels in total, each dedicated to managing memory
access requests from one or more peripherals. Each has an arbiter for handling the priority
between DMA requests.

10.2

10.3

DMA main features
•

12 independently configurable channels (requests)

•

Each channel is connected to dedicated hardware DMA requests, software trigger is
also supported on each channel. This configuration is done by software.

•

Priorities between requests from channels of one DMA are software programmable (4
levels consisting of very high, high, medium, low) or hardware in case of equality
(request 1 has priority over request 2, etc.)

•

Independent source and destination transfer size (byte, half word, word), emulating
packing and unpacking. Source/destination addresses must be aligned on the data
size.

•

Support for circular buffer management

•

3 event flags (DMA Half Transfer, DMA Transfer complete and DMA Transfer Error)
logically ORed together in a single interrupt request for each channel

•

Memory-to-memory transfer

•

Peripheral-to-memory and memory-to-peripheral, and peripheral-to-peripheral
transfers

•

Access to Flash, SRAM, APB and AHB peripherals as source and destination

•

Programmable number of data to be transferred: up to 65535

DMA implementation

smaller number of channels, but is otherwise identical to DMA1.

The DMA controller performs direct memory transfer by sharing the system bus with the
Cortex®-M4 with FPU core. The DMA request may stop the CPU access to the system bus
for some bus cycles, when the CPU and DMA are targeting the same destination (memory
or peripheral). The bus matrix implements round-robin scheduling, thus ensuring at least
half of the system bus bandwidth (both to memory and peripheral) for the CPU.

10.4.1

DMA transactions
After an event, the peripheral sends a request signal to the DMA Controller. The DMA
controller serves the request depending on the channel priorities. As soon as the DMA
Controller accesses the peripheral, an Acknowledge is sent to the peripheral by the DMA
Controller. The peripheral releases its request as soon as it gets the Acknowledge from the
DMA Controller. Once the request is de-asserted by the peripheral, the DMA Controller
release the Acknowledge. If there are more requests, the peripheral can initiate the next
transaction.

RM0313

In summary, each DMA transfer consists of three operations:

10.4.2

•

The loading of data from the peripheral data register or a location in memory addressed
through an internal current peripheral/memory address register. The start address used
for the first transfer is the base peripheral/memory address programmed in the
DMA_CPARx or DMA_CMARx register.

•

The storage of the data loaded to the peripheral data register or a location in memory
addressed through an internal current peripheral/memory address register. The start
address used for the first transfer is the base peripheral/memory address programmed
in the DMA_CPARx or DMA_CMARx register.

•

The post-decrementing of the DMA_CNDTRx register, which contains the number of
transactions that have still to be performed.

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

•

10.4.3

Software: each channel priority can be configured in the DMA_CCRx 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 will get priority versus the channel with the highest number. For
example, channel 2 gets priority over channel 4.

DMA channels
Each channel can handle DMA transfer between a peripheral register located at a fixed
address and a memory address. The amount of data to be transferred (up to 65535) is
programmable. The register which contains the amount of data items to be transferred is
decremented after each transaction.

Programmable data sizes
Transfer data sizes of the peripheral and memory are fully programmable through the
PSIZE and MSIZE bits in the DMA_CCRx register.

Pointer incrementation
Peripheral and memory pointers can optionally be automatically post-incremented after
each transaction depending on the PINC and MINC bits in the DMA_CCRx register. If
incremented mode is enabled, the address of the next transfer will be the address of the
previous one incremented by 1, 2 or 4 depending on the chosen data size. The first transfer
address is the one programmed in the DMA_CPARx/DMA_CMARx registers. During
transfer operations, these registers keep the initially programmed value. The current
transfer addresses (in the current internal peripheral/memory address register) are not
accessible by software.

166/904

DocID022448 Rev 5

RM0313

Direct memory access controller (DMA)
If the channel is configured in non-circular mode, no DMA request is served after the last
transfer (that is once the number of data items to be transferred has reached zero). In order
to reload a new number of data items to be transferred into the DMA_CNDTRx register, the
DMA channel must be disabled.

Note:

If a DMA channel is disabled, the DMA registers are not reset. The DMA channel registers
(DMA_CCRx, DMA_CPARx and DMA_CMARx) retain the initial values programmed during
the channel configuration phase.
In circular mode, after the last transfer, the DMA_CNDTRx register is automatically reloaded
with the initially programmed value. The current internal address registers are reloaded with
the base address values from the DMA_CPARx/DMA_CMARx registers.

Channel configuration procedure
The following sequence should be followed to configure a DMA channel x (where x is the
channel number).
1.

Set the peripheral register address in the DMA_CPARx register. The data will be
moved from/ to this address to/ from the memory after the peripheral event.

2.

Set the memory address in the DMA_CMARx register. The data will be written to or
read from this memory after the peripheral event.

3.

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

4.

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

5.

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

6.

Activate the channel by setting the ENABLE bit in the DMA_CCRx register.

As soon as the channel is enabled, it can serve any DMA request from the peripheral
connected on the channel.
Once half of the bytes are transferred, the half-transfer flag (HTIF) is set and an interrupt is
generated if the Half-Transfer Interrupt Enable bit (HTIE) is set. At the end of the transfer,
the Transfer Complete Flag (TCIF) is set and an interrupt is generated if the Transfer
Complete Interrupt Enable bit (TCIE) is set.

Circular 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 in the DMA_CCRx 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
The DMA channels can also work without being triggered by a request from a peripheral.
This mode is called Memory to Memory mode.
If the MEM2MEM bit in the DMA_CCRx register is set, then the channel initiates transfers
as soon as it is enabled by software by setting the Enable bit (EN) in the DMA_CCRx
register. The transfer stops once the DMA_CNDTRx register reaches zero. Memory to
Memory mode may not be used at the same time as Circular mode.

Direct memory access controller (DMA)

Addressing an AHB peripheral that does not support byte or halfword
write operations
When the DMA initiates an AHB byte or halfword write operation, the data are duplicated on
the unused lanes of the HWDATA[31:0] bus. So when the used AHB slave peripheral does
not support byte or halfword write operations (when HSIZE is not used by the peripheral)
and does not generate any error, the DMA writes the 32 HWDATA bits as shown in the two
examples below:
•

To write the halfword “0xABCD”, the DMA sets the HWDATA bus to “0xABCDABCD”
with HSIZE = HalfWord

•

To write the byte “0xAB”, the DMA sets the HWDATA bus to “0xABABABAB” with
HSIZE = Byte

Assuming that the AHB/APB bridge is an AHB 32-bit slave peripheral that does not take the
HSIZE data into account, it will transform any AHB byte or halfword operation into a 32-bit
APB operation in the following manner:
•

an AHB byte write operation of the data “0xB0” to 0x0 (or to 0x1, 0x2 or 0x3) will be
converted to an APB word write operation of the data “0xB0B0B0B0” to 0x0

•

an AHB halfword write operation of the data “0xB1B0” to 0x0 (or to 0x2) will be
converted to an APB word write operation of the data “0xB1B0B1B0” to 0x0

For instance, to write the APB backup registers (16-bit registers aligned to a 32-bit address
boundary), the software must configure the memory source size (MSIZE) to “16-bit” and the
peripheral destination size (PSIZE) to “32-bit”.

10.4.5

Error management
A DMA transfer error can be generated by reading from or writing to a reserved address
space. When a DMA transfer error occurs during a DMA read or a write access, the faulty
channel is automatically disabled through a hardware clear of its EN bit in the corresponding
Channel configuration register (DMA_CCRx). The channel's transfer error interrupt flag
(TEIF) in the DMA_IFR register is set and an interrupt is generated if the transfer error
interrupt enable bit (TEIE) in the DMA_CCRx register is set.

10.4.6

DMA interrupts
An interrupt can be produced on a Half-transfer, Transfer complete or Transfer error for
each DMA channel. Separate interrupt enable bits are available for flexibility.

DMA request mapping
DMA1 controller
The hardware requests from the peripherals (TIMx, ADC1, DACx, SPIx, I2Cx, and USARTx)
are simply logically ORed before entering the DMA1. This means that on one channel, only
one request must be enabled at a time. Refer to Figure 22: DMA1 request mapping.

DMA2 controller
The hardware requests from the peripherals (TIMx, SDADCx, DAC and SPI) are simply
logically ORed before entering the DMA2. This means that on one channel, only one
request must be enabled at a time. Refer to Figure 23: DMA2 request mapping.
The peripheral DMA2 requests can be independently activated/de-activated by
programming the DMA2 control bit in the registers of the corresponding peripheral.

Number of data to be transferred (0 up to 65535). This register can only be written when the
channel is disabled. Once the channel is enabled, this register is read-only, indicating the
remaining bytes to be transmitted. This register decrements after each DMA transfer.
Once the transfer is completed, this register can either stay at zero or be reloaded
automatically by the value previously programmed if the channel is configured in circular

Interrupts and events

11.1

Nested vectored interrupt controller (NVIC)

11.1.1

NVIC main features
•

1 non-maskable interrupt line (NMI)

•

64 maskable interrupt channels

•

16 programmable priority levels (2 bits of interrupt priority are used)

•

Low-latency exception and interrupt handling

•

Power management control

•

Implementation of System Control Registers

The NVIC and the processor core interface are closely coupled, which enables low latency
interrupt processing and efficient processing of late arriving interrupts.
All interrupts including the core exceptions are managed by the NVIC. For more information
on exceptions and NVIC programming, refer to PM0214 programming manual.

11.1.2

SysTick calibration value register
The SysTick calibration value is set to 9000, which gives a reference time base of 1 ms with
the SysTick clock set to 9 MHz (max fHCLK/8).

11.1.3

Interrupt and exception vectors
Table 28 is the vector table for STM32F37xxx devices.

Extended interrupts and events controller (EXTI)
The extended interrupts and events controller (EXTI) manages the external and internal
asynchronous events/interrupts and generates the event request to the CPU/Interrupt
Controller and a wake-up request to the Power Manager.

DocID022448 Rev 5

187/904

Interrupts and events

RM0313

The EXTI allows the management of up to 29 external/internal event line (21 external event
lines and 8 internal event lines).
The active edge of each external interrupt line can be chosen independently, whilst for
internal interrupt the active edge is always the rising one. An interrupt could be left pending:
in case of an external one, a status register is instantiated and indicates the source of the
interrupt; an event is always a simple pulse and it’s used for triggering the core Wake-up.
For internal interrupts, the pending status is assured by the generating IP, so no need for a
specific flag. Each input line can be masked independently for interrupt or event generation,
in addition the internal lines are sampled only in STOP mode. This controller allows also to
emulate the (only) external events by software, multiplexed with the corresponding
hardware event line, by writing to a dedicated register.

11.2.1

Main features
The EXTI main features are the following:

11.2.2

•

support generation of up to 29 event/interrupt requests;

•

Independent configuration of each line as an external or an internal event requests;

•

Independent mask on each event/interrupt line

•

Automatic disable of internal lines when system is not in STOP mode

•

Independent trigger for external event/interrupt line

•

Dedicated status bit for external interrupt line;

•

Emulation for all the external event requests.

11.2.3

Wakeup event management
The STM32F37xxx is able to handle external or internal events in order to wake up the core
(WFE). The wakeup event can be generated either by:

11.2.4

•

enabling an interrupt in the peripheral control register but not in the NVIC, and enabling
the SEVONPEND bit in the Cortex®-M4 with FPU System Control register. When the
MCU resumes from WFE, the EXTI peripheral interrupt pending bit and the peripheral
NVIC IRQ channel pending bit (in the NVIC interrupt clear pending register) have to be
cleared.

•

or by configuring an external or internal EXTI line in event mode. When the CPU
resumes from WFE, it is not necessary to clear the peripheral interrupt pending bit or
the NVIC IRQ channel pending bit as the pending bit corresponding to the event line is
not set.

Asynchronous Internal Interrupts
Some communication peripherals (UART, I2C, CEC) are able to generate events when the
system is in run mode and also when the system is in stop mode allowing to wake up the
system from stop mode.
To accomplish this, the peripheral is asked to generate both a synchronized (to the system
clock, e.g. APB clock) and an asynchronous version of the event.

11.2.5

RM0313

Functional description
For the external interrupt lines, to generate the interrupt, the interrupt line should be
configured and enabled. This is done by programming the two trigger registers with the
desired edge detection and by enabling the interrupt request by writing a ‘1’ to the
corresponding bit in the interrupt mask register. When the selected edge occurs on the
external interrupt line, an interrupt request is generated. The pending bit corresponding to
the interrupt line is also set. This request is reset by writing a ‘1’ in the pending register.
For the internal interrupt lines, the active edge is always the rising edge, the interrupt is
enabled by default in the interrupt mask register and there is no corresponding pending bit
in the pending register.
To generate the event, the event line should be configured and enabled. This is done by
programming the two trigger registers with the desired edge detection and by enabling the
event request by writing a ‘1’ to the corresponding bit in the event mask register. When the
selected edge occurs on the event line, an event pulse is generated. The pending bit
corresponding to the event line is not set.
For the external lines, an interrupt/event request can also be generated by software by
writing a ‘1’ in the software interrupt/event register.

Note:

The interrupts or events associated to the internal lines can be triggered only when the
system is in STOP mode. If the system is still running, no interrupt/event is generated.

Hardware interrupt selection
To configure a line as interrupt source, use the following procedure:
•

Configure the corresponding mask bit in the EXTI_IMR register.

•

Configure the Trigger Selection bits of the Interrupt line (EXTI_RTSR and EXTI_FTSR)

•

Configure the enable and mask bits that control the NVIC IRQ channel mapped to the
EXTI so that an interrupt coming from one of the EXTI line can be correctly
acknowledged.

Hardware event selection
To configure a line as event source, use the following procedure:
•

Configure the corresponding mask bit in the EXTI_EMR register.

•

Configure the Trigger Selection bits of the Event line (EXTI_RTSR and EXTI_FTSR)

Software interrupt/event selection
Any of the external lines can be configured as software interrupt/event lines. The following is
the procedure to generate a software interrupt.

190/904

•

Configure the corresponding mask bit (EXTI_IMR, EXTI_EMR)

•

Set the required bit of the software interrupt register (EXTI_SWIER)

Analog-to-digital converter (ADC)

12.1

ADC introduction
The 12-bit ADC is a successive approximation analog-to-digital converter. It has up to 19
multiplexed channels allowing it measure signals from 16 external and three internal
sources. A/D conversion of the various channels can be performed in single, continuous,
scan or discontinuous mode. The result of the ADC is stored in a left-aligned or right-aligned
16-bit data register.
The analog watchdog feature allows the application to detect if the input voltage goes
outside the user-defined high or low thresholds.
The ADC input clock is generated from the PCLK2 clock divided by a prescaler (refer to
Table 11).

2. For full details about the ADC I/O pins, please refer to the “Pinouts and pin descriptions” section of the
corresponding device datasheet.

12.3.1

ADC on-off control
The ADC can be powered-on by setting the ADON bit in the ADC_CR2 register. When the
ADON bit is set for the first time, it wakes up the ADC from Power Down mode.
Conversion starts when ADON bit is set for a second time by software after ADC power-up
time (tSTAB).
You can stop conversion and put the ADC in power down mode by resetting the ADON bit.
In this mode the ADC consumes almost no power (only a few µA).

12.3.2

ADC clock
The ADCCLK clock provided by the Clock Controller is synchronous with the PCLK2 (APB2
clock). The RCC controller has a dedicated programmable prescaler for the ADC clock
(refer to Section 6: Reset and clock control (RCC) for more details.

12.3.3

Channel selection
There are 16 multiplexed channels. It is possible to organize the conversions in two groups:
regular and injected. A group consists of a sequence of conversions which can be done on
any channel and in any order. For instance, it is possible to do the conversion in the
following order: Ch3, Ch8, Ch2, Ch2, Ch0, Ch2, Ch2, Ch15.
•

The regular group is composed of up to 16 conversions. The regular channels and
their order in the conversion sequence must be selected in the ADC_SQRx registers.
The total number of conversions in the regular group must be written in the L[3:0] bits in
the ADC_SQR1 register.

•

The injected group is composed of up to 4 conversions. The injected channels and
their order in the conversion sequence must be selected in the ADC_JSQR register.
The total number of conversions in the injected group must be written in the L[1:0] bits
in the ADC_JSQR register.

If the ADC_SQRx or ADC_JSQR registers are modified during a conversion, the current
conversion is reset and a new start pulse is sent to the ADC to convert the new chosen
group.
198/904

DocID022448 Rev 5

RM0313

Analog-to-digital converter (ADC)

Temperature sensor/VREFINT/VBAT internal channels
The Temperature sensor is connected to channel ADC_IN16, the internal reference voltage
VREFINT is connected to ADC_IN17, and the VBAT is connected to ADC_IN18. These
internal channels can be selected and converted as injected or regular channels.

12.3.4

Single conversion mode
In Single conversion mode the ADC does one conversion. This mode is started either by
setting the ADON bit in the ADC_CR2 register (for a regular channel only) or by external
trigger (for a regular or injected channel), while the CONT bit is 0.
Once the conversion of the selected channel is complete:
•

•

If a regular channel was converted:
–

The converted data is stored in the 16-bit ADC_DR register

–

The EOC (End Of Conversion) flag is set

–

and an interrupt is generated if the EOCIE is set.

If an injected channel was converted:
–

The converted data is stored in the 16-bit ADC_DRJ1 register

–

The JEOC (End Of Conversion Injected) flag is set

–

and an interrupt is generated if the JEOCIE bit is set.

The ADC is then stopped.

12.3.5

Continuous conversion mode
In continuous conversion mode ADC starts another conversion as soon as it finishes one.
This mode is started either by external trigger or by setting the ADON bit in the ADC_CR2
register, while the CONT bit is 1.
After each conversion:
•

•

12.3.6

If a regular channel was converted:
–

The converted data is stored in the 16-bit ADC_DR register

–

The EOC (End Of Conversion) flag is set

–

An interrupt is generated if the EOCIE is set.

If an injected channel was converted:
–

The converted data is stored in the 16-bit ADC_DRJ1 register

–

The JEOC (End Of Conversion Injected) flag is set

–

An interrupt is generated if the JEOCIE bit is set.

Timing diagram
As shown in Figure 27, the ADC needs a stabilization time of tSTAB before it starts
converting accurately. After the start of ADC conversion and after 14 clock cycles, the EOC
flag is set and the 16-bit ADC Data register contains the result of the conversion.

12.3.7

Analog watchdog
The AWD analog watchdog status bit is set if the analog voltage converted by the ADC is
below a low threshold or above a high threshold. These thresholds are programmed in the
12 least significant bits of the ADC_HTR and ADC_LTR 16-bit registers. An interrupt can be
enabled by using the AWDIE bit in the ADC_CR1 register.
The threshold value is independent of the alignment selected by the ALIGN bit in the
ADC_CR2 register. The comparison is done before the alignment (see Section 12.5).
The analog watchdog can be enabled on one or more channels by configuring the
ADC_CR1 register as shown in Table 31.

12.3.8

Scan mode
This mode is used to scan a group of analog channels.
Scan mode can be selected by setting the SCAN bit in the ADC_CR1 register. Once this bit
is set, ADC scans all the channels selected in the ADC_SQRx registers (for regular
channels) or in the ADC_JSQR (for injected channels). A single conversion is performed for
each channel of the group. After each end of conversion the next channel of the group is
converted automatically. If the CONT bit is set, conversion does not stop at the last selected
group channel but continues again from the first selected group channel.
When using scan mode, DMA bit must be set and the direct memory access controller is
used to transfer the converted data of regular group channels to SRAM after each update of
the ADC_DR register.
The injected channel converted data is always stored in the ADC_JDRx registers.

12.3.9

Injected channel management
Triggered injection
To use triggered injection, the JAUTO bit must be cleared and SCAN bit must be set in the
ADC_CR1 register.

Note:

1.

Start conversion of a group of regular channels either by external trigger or by setting
the ADON bit in the ADC_CR2 register.

2.

If an external injected trigger occurs during the regular group channel conversion, the
current conversion is reset and the injected channel sequence is converted in Scan
once mode.

3.

Then, the regular group channel conversion is resumed from the last interrupted
regular conversion. If a regular event occurs during an injected conversion, it doesn’t
interrupt it but the regular sequence is executed at the end of the injected sequence.
Figure 29 shows the timing diagram.

When using triggered injection, one must ensure that the interval between trigger events is
longer than the injection sequence. For instance, if the sequence length is 28 ADC clock
cycles (that is two conversions with a 1.5 clock-period sampling time), the minimum interval
between triggers must be 29 ADC clock cycles.

Auto-injection
If the JAUTO bit is set, then the injected group channels are automatically converted after
the regular group channels. This can be used to convert a sequence of up to 20 conversions
programmed in the ADC_SQRx and ADC_JSQR registers.
In this mode, external trigger on injected channels must be disabled.
If the CONT bit is also set in addition to the JAUTO bit, regular channels followed by injected
channels are continuously converted.
For ADC clock prescalers ranging from 4 to 8, a delay of 1 ADC clock period is automatically
inserted when switching from regular to injected sequence (respectively injected to regular).
When the ADC clock prescaler is set to 2, the delay is 2 ADC clock periods.
Note:

It is not possible to use both auto-injected and discontinuous modes simultaneously.

12.3.10

Discontinuous mode
Regular group
This mode is enabled by setting the DISCEN bit in the ADC_CR1 register. It can be used to
convert a short sequence of n conversions (n <=8) which is a part of the sequence of
conversions selected in the ADC_SQRx registers. The value of n is specified by writing to
the DISCNUM[2:0] bits in the ADC_CR1 register.
When an external trigger occurs, it starts the next n conversions selected in the ADC_SQRx
registers until all the conversions in the sequence are done. The total sequence length is
defined by the L[3:0] bits in the ADC_SQR1 register.
Example:
n = 3, channels to be converted = 0, 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 10
1st trigger: sequence converted 0, 1, 2; an EOC event is generated at each conversion
2nd trigger: sequence converted 3, 6, 7; an EOC event is generated at each
conversion
3rd trigger: sequence converted 9, 10; an EOC event is generated at each conversion
4th trigger: sequence converted 0, 1, 2; an EOC event is generated at each conversion

Note:

When a regular group is converted in discontinuous mode, no rollover will occur. When all
sub groups are converted, the next trigger starts conversion of the first sub-group.
In the example above, the 4th trigger reconverts the 1st sub-group channels 0, 1 and 2.

Injected group
This mode is enabled by setting the JDISCEN bit in the ADC_CR1 register. It can be used to
convert the sequence selected in the ADC_JSQR register, channel by channel, after an
external trigger event.
When an external trigger occurs, it starts the next channel conversions selected in the
ADC_JSQR registers until all the conversions in the sequence are done. The total sequence
length is defined by the JL[1:0] bits in the ADC_JSQR register.
Example:
n = 1, channels to be converted = 1, 2, 3
1st trigger: channel 1 converted
2nd trigger: channel 2 converted

RM0313

3rd trigger: channel 3 converted and EOC and JEOC events generated
4th trigger: channel 1

Note:

When all injected channels are converted, the next trigger starts the conversion of the first
injected channel. In the example above, the 4th trigger reconverts the 1st injected channel
1.
It is not possible to use both auto-injected and discontinuous modes simultaneously.
The user must avoid setting discontinuous mode for both regular and injected groups
together. Discontinuous mode must be enabled only for one group conversion.

12.4

Calibration
The ADC has an built-in self calibration mode. Calibration significantly reduces accuracy
errors due to internal capacitor bank variations. During calibration, an error-correction code
(digital word) is calculated for each capacitor, and during all subsequent conversions, the
error contribution of each capacitor is removed using this code.
Calibration is started by setting the CAL bit in the ADC_CR2 register. Once calibration is
over, the CAL bit is reset by hardware and normal conversion can be performed. It is
recommended to calibrate the ADC once at power-on. The calibration codes are stored in
the ADC_DR as soon as the calibration phase ends.

Note:

It is recommended to perform a calibration after each power-up.
Before starting a calibration the ADC must have been in power-off state (ADON bit = ‘0’) for
at least two ADC clock cycles.

Data alignment
ALIGN bit in the ADC_CR2 register selects the alignment of data stored after conversion.
Data can be left or right aligned as shown in Figure 31. and Figure 32.
The injected group channels converted data value is decreased by the user-defined offset
written in the ADC_JOFRx registers so the result can be a negative value. The SEXT bit is
the extended sign value.
For regular group channels no offset is subtracted so only twelve bits are significant.

12.6

Channel-by-channel programmable sample time
ADC samples the input voltage for a number of ADC_CLK cycles which can be modified
using the SMP[2:0] bits in the ADC_SMPR1 and ADC_SMPR2 registers. Each channel can
be sampled with a different sample time.
The total conversion time is calculated as follows:
Tconv = Sampling time + 12.5 cycles
Example:
With an ADCCLK = 12 MHz and a sampling time of 1.5 cycles:
Tconv = 1.5 + 12.5 = 14 cycles = 1.17 µs

12.7

Conversion on external trigger
Conversion can be triggered by an external event (e.g. timer capture, EXTI line). If the
EXTTRIG control bit is set then external events are able to trigger a conversion. The
EXTSEL[2:0] and JEXTSEL[2:0] control bits allow the application to select decide which out
of 8 possible events can trigger conversion for the regular and injected groups.

Note:

204/904

When an external trigger is selected for ADC regular or injected conversion, only the rising
edge of the signal can start the conversion.

The software source trigger events can be generated by setting a bit in a register
(SWSTART and JSWSTART in ADC_CR2).
A regular group conversion can be interrupted by an injected trigger.

12.8

DMA request
Since converted regular channels value are stored in a unique data register, it is necessary
to use DMA for conversion of more than one regular channel. This avoids the loss of data
already stored in the ADC_DR register.
Only the end of conversion of a regular channel generates a DMA request, which allows the
transfer of its converted data from the ADC_DR register to the destination location selected
by the user.

12.9

Temperature sensor and internal reference voltage
The temperature sensor can be used to measure the ambient temperature (TA) of the
device. The temperature sensor is internally connected to the ADC_IN16 input channel

DocID022448 Rev 5

205/904
222

Analog-to-digital converter (ADC)

RM0313

which is used to convert the sensor output voltage into a digital value. The recommended
sampling time for the temperature sensor is 17.1 µs.
The internal voltage reference (VREFINT) provides a stable (bandgap) voltage output for the
ADC and Comparators. VREFINT is internally connected to the ADC_IN17 input channel. The
precise voltage of VREFINT is individually measured for each part by ST during production
test and stored in the system memory area. It is accessible in read-only mode.
Figure 33 shows the block diagram of the temperature sensor.
When not in use, this sensor can be put in power down mode.
Note:

The TSVREFE bit must be set to enable both internal channels: ADC_IN16 (temperature
sensor) and ADC_IN17 (VREFINT) conversion.
The temperature sensor output voltage changes linearly with temperature. The offset of this
line varies from chip to chip due to process variation (up to 45 °C from one chip to another).
The internal temperature sensor is more suited for applications that detect temperature
variations instead of absolute temperatures. If accurate temperature readings are needed, an
external temperature sensor part should be used.
During the manufacturing process, the calibration data of the temperature sensor and the
internal voltage reference are stored in the system memory area. The user application can
then read them and use them to improve the accuracy of the temperature sensor or the
internal reference. Refer to the datasheet for additional information.

To use the sensor:

206/904

DocID022448 Rev 5

RM0313

Analog-to-digital converter (ADC)
1.

Select the ADC_IN16 input channel.

2.

Select a sample time of 17.1 µs

3.

Set the TSVREFE bit in the ADC control register 2 (ADC_CR2) to wake up the
temperature sensor from power down mode.

4.

Start the ADC conversion by setting the ADON bit (or by external trigger).

5.

Read the resulting VSENSE data in the ADC data register

6.

Obtain the temperature using the following formula:
Temperature (in °C) = {(V25 - VSENSE) / Avg_Slope} + 25.
Where,
V25 = VSENSE value for 25° C and
Avg_Slope = Average Slope for curve between Temperature vs. VSENSE (given in
mV/° C or µV/ °C).
Refer to the Electrical characteristics section for the actual values of V25 and
Avg_Slope.

Note:

The sensor has a startup time after waking from power down mode before it can output
VSENSE at the correct level. The ADC also has a startup time after power-on, so to minimize
the delay, the ADON and TSVREFE bits should be set at the same time.

12.10

Battery voltage monitoring
The VBAT_MON bit in the SYSCFG_CFGR1 register allows the backup battery voltage on
the VBAT pin to be measured.
As the VBAT voltage can be higher than VDDA, to ensure the correct operation of the ADC,
the VBAT pin is internally connected to a bridge divider by 2. This bridge is automatically
enabled when VBAT_MON is set, to connect VBAT/2 to the ADC1_IN18 input channel.
Consequently, the converted digital value is half the VBAT voltage. To prevent any unwanted
consumption on the battery, it is recommended to enable the bridge divider only when
needed, for ADC conversion.

12.11

ADC interrupts
An interrupt can be produced on end of conversion for regular and injected groups and
when the analog watchdog status bit is set. Separate interrupt enable bits are available for
flexibility.
Two other flags are present in the ADC_SR register, but there is no interrupt associated with
them:
•

JSTRT (Start of conversion for injected group channels)

•

STRT (Start of conversion for regular group channels)

Bits 21:20 JL[1:0]: Injected sequence length
These bits are written by software to define the total number of conversions in the injected
channel conversion sequence.
00: 1 conversion
01: 2 conversions
10: 3 conversions
11: 4 conversions
Bits 19:15 JSQ4[4:0]: 4th conversion in injected sequence (when JL[1:0] = 3)(1)
These bits are written by software with the channel number (0..18) assigned as the 4th in
the sequence to be converted.
Note: Unlike a regular conversion sequence, if JL[1:0] length is less than four, the channels
are converted in a sequence starting from (4-JL). Example: ADC_JSQR[21:0] = 10
00011 00011 00111 00010 means that a scan conversion will convert the following
channel sequence: 7, 3, 3. (not 2, 7, 3)
Bits 14:10 JSQ3[4:0]: 3rd conversion in injected sequence (when JL[1:0] = 3)
Bits 9:5 JSQ2[4:0]: 2nd conversion in injected sequence (when JL[1:0] = 3)
Bits 4:0 JSQ1[4:0]: 1st conversion in injected sequence (when JL[1:0] = 3)
1. When JL=3 (4 injected conversions in the sequencer), the ADC converts the channels in this order:
JSQ1[4:0] >> JSQ2[4:0] >> JSQ3[4:0] >> JSQ4[4:0]
When JL=2 (3 injected conversions in the sequencer), the ADC converts the channels in this order:
JSQ2[4:0] >> JSQ3[4:0] >> JSQ4[4:0]
When JL=1 (2 injected conversions in the sequencer), the ADC converts the channels in this order:
JSQ3[4:0] >> JSQ4[4:0]
When JL=0 (1 injected conversion in the sequencer), the ADC converts only JSQ4[4:0] channel

Sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter (SDADC)

Sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter (SDADC)

13.1

Introduction
The SDADC module is a high-performance and low-power sigma-delta analog-to-digital
converter, featuring 16-bit resolution and 9 differential analog channels with selectable
gains.
The conversion speed is up to 16.6 ksps (kilo-samples per second) for each SDADC when
converting multiple channels and up to 50 ksps per SDADC if only one channel conversion
is used. There are two conversion modes: single conversion mode and continuous mode,
capable of automatically scanning any number of channels. The data can be automatically
stored in a system RAM buffer, reducing the software overhead.
A flexible timer triggering system can be used to control the start of conversion of the three
SDADCs. This timing control is capable of triggering simultaneous conversions or inserting
a programmable delay between the SDADCs.
Reference voltage for SDADC can be selected from external reference pins, internal
1.2/1.8V reference or SDADC analog power supply.
Four power modes are supported: Normal, Slow, Standby and Power down. In Standby
mode, references stay powered on to reduce the startup time.

SDADC clock
The clock source for SDADC is derived from the system clock. This clock is divided by a
selectable divider with 50% duty cycle.
Any of the following division ratios can be selected:
2, 4, 6, 8,10,12,14,16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48.
The SDADC clock is automatically stopped in deepsleep mode.
The maximum operating frequency of the SDAC is 6 MHz. Its minimum operating frequency
is 500 kHz.

13.5.1

SDADC on-off control
The SDADC is enabled by setting the ADON bit in the SDADC_CR2 register. After the
SDADC is powered on, it needs 100 µs to stabilize before it can start a conversion or launch
calibration (unless PDI=1, see next section). An action requested in the meantime will be
automatically started as soon as stabilization is complete. The end of stabilization is
signalled by bit STABIP in the SDAC_ISR register.
Clearing ADON stops any conversion which may be in progress and puts the SDADC in
power down mode.

DocID022448 Rev 5

RM0313

13.5.2

Sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter (SDADC)

Power down and Standby low-power modes
In order to reduce consumption, the SDADC can be automatically put into either Standby
mode or power down mode when it is idle. “Idle” is defined as when RCIP=0, JCIP=0, and
CALIBIP=0.
Setting PDI in the SDADC_CR1 register causes the SDADC to enter power down mode
when idle, where it consumes about 10 µA instead of up to 1.2 mA (see datasheet for exact
values). Whenever exiting power down mode, a period of 100 µs is needed for stabilization.
During stabilization, a conversion may be requested, but it will not start until stabilization is
complete (STABIP=0).
Similarly, setting SBI in the SDADC_CR1 register puts the SDADC in Standby mode when
idle, where it consumes a maximum of about 200 µA. Whenever exiting Standby mode
conversions, a period of 50 µs is required for stabilization.
While the SDADC is stabilizing, the stabilization in progress status bit, STABIP, in
SDADC_ISR is set to ‘1’.
When enforcing the stabilization times, the SDADC measures these durations assuming
that the prescaler outputs a clock at 6 MHz. This means that the 100 µs period after power
on is defined as 600 SDADC clock cycles (or 150 if SLOWCK=1, where the SDADC
frequency should be 1.5 MHz), and the 50 µs period after exiting Standby mode is defined
as 300 SDADC clock cycles (or 75 if SLOWCK=1).
When SBI=1, if a conversion or calibration is requested within the first 50 µs after ADON is
activated, a stabilization period of 100 µs (rather than 50 µs) is observed starting from the
moment that the conversion or calibration is requested.

13.5.3

SDADC clock
The SDADC clock, which is used to drive the analog logic, is generated by the RCC block.
When not in Slow mode, its prescaler should be configured so that the SDADC can run at its
maximum frequency of 6 MHz. The minimum operating frequency of the SDADC is 500 kHz.

Slow mode
Setting the SLOWCK bit in the SDADC_CR1 register puts the SDADC in Slow mode. When
SLOWCK=1, the analog consumes less and is able to operate down to a voltage of 2.2 V,
but the frequency of the SDADC clock must be reduced to 1.5 MHz. The minimum
frequency is still 500 kHz in Slow mode.

13.5.4

Channel selection
There are 9 multiplexed channels which can be selected for conversion using the injected
channel group and using the regular channel.
The injected channel group is a selection of any or all of the 9 channels. JCHG[8:0] in the
SDADC_JCHGR register selects the channels of the injected group, where JCHG[i]=1
means that channel i is selected.
Injected conversions are always executed in scan mode, which means that each of the
selected channels are converted in series. The highest channel (channel 8, if selected) is
converted first, followed immediately by the next lower channel until all the channels
selected by JCHG[8:0] have been converted.

Injected conversions can be launched by software or by a trigger. They are never
interrupted by regular conversions.
The regular channel is a selection of just one of the 9 channels. RCH[3:0] in the
SDADC_CR2 register indicates the selected channel.
Regular conversions can be launched only by software (not by a trigger). A sequence of
continuous regular conversions is temporarily interrupted when a injected conversion is
requested.

13.5.5

Differential and single-ended modes
Each SDADC channel has 2 differential inputs (positive and negative: SDADCx_AIN[n]P,
SDADCx_AIN[n]M). Configuring of those inputs to pins connection can be obtained several
measurement modes.
Differential mode: Simple mode where both - positive and negative inputs - are connected
to external pins. The output signal is positive or negative depending on the connected signal
polarity. The corresponding SE[1:0] bits must be set to “00” (see Section 13.5.6: Configuring
the analog inputs) to select this mode.
In additional to this differential mode, conversions may be performed in one of two singleended modes. When in single-ended mode, the negative input is set to VREFSD- pin
internally, leaving the corresponding pin for the negative input (SDADCx_AIN[n]M) free to
be used for other purposes. The signal to be measured is applied to the positive input.
Single-ended offset mode: The corresponding SE[1:0] bits must be set to “01” (see
Section 13.5.6: Configuring the analog inputs) to select this mode.The output signal is
always positive, thus excluding the negative half of the dynamic range. In this mode, the
signal to noise ratio (SNR) is degraded by 6 dB.
Single-ended zero reference mode: The corresponding SE[1:0] bits must be set to “11”
(see Section 13.5.6: Configuring the analog inputs) to select this mode. This mode injects
an offset of half scale to the SDADC thus maintaining the full positive/negative dynamic
range like in differential mode. In this mode, the offset is dependent on gain variations.
The correct application design of the PCB is important for a good SDADC analog
performance. The STM32F37x device has several ground (and voltage supply) signals,
which must be designed according Section 6.1.2: Correct grounding for analog applications.

Configuring the analog inputs
The following parameters must be configured for the analog inputs:
•

Gain. There are 5 analog gain settings (1/2x, 1x, 2x, 4x, 8x) and 2 digital gain settings
(16x, 32x).

•

Single-ended modes (SE) (see Section 13.5.5: Differential and single-ended modes).

•

Common mode. The common mode setting (VSSSD, VDDSDx, or VDDSDx/2) is used
only in the determination of the offset during the calibration sequence.

•

Offset. The 12-bit offset is applied to the conversion results. This value varies from part
to part and also depends on the common mode, on the SE setting, and on the gain if
SE=11. This value can be determined automatically during the calibration sequence or
it can be written by software.

Three distinct configurations can be specified using the SDADC_CONF0R,
SDADC_CONF1R, and SDADC_CONF2R registers. Each SDADC_CONFxR register
contains the fields GAINx[2:0], COMMONx[1:0], SE[1:0], and OFFSETx[11:0].
Each individual input can select one of the three configurations, by way of the
SDADC_CONFCHR1 and SDADC_CONFCHR2 registers.

13.5.7

Launching calibration and determining the offset values
Calibration can be used to determine the offset values of the configurations defined in each
of the three SDADC_CONFxR registers. OFFSETx[11:0] is determined based on
GAINx[2:0], COMMONx[1:0], and SEx[1:0] (where x is 0, 1, or 2).

232/904

DocID022448 Rev 5

RM0313

Sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter (SDADC)
During the offset calibration positive and negative SDADC inputs are shorted internally and
connected to common voltage given by COMMONx[1:0] setting. GAINx[2:0] is applied and
then is performed a conversion which determines the OFFSETx[11:0] value (12-bit signed
value).
The calibration sequence consists of the following steps:

13.5.8

•

The SDADC_CONFxR registers must be written. If only 1 distinct configuration is used,
then it must be defined in the SDADC_CONF0R register. If only 2 distinct
configurations are used, then they must be defined in the SDADC_CONF0R and
SDADC_CONF1R registers.

•

The SDADC_CR2 register is written:
–

“00” written to CALIBCNT[1:0] if only OFFSET0 is to be determined, “01” for both
OFFSET0 and OFFSET1, or “10” to determine all three offset values,

–

‘1’ must be written to STARTCALIB to launch calibration.

•

The calibration sequence then executes, taking 30720 ADC cycles (5.12 ms at 6 MHz)
for each offset calculation. Thus, all three offsets are calculated, the entire sequence
lasts 15.36 ms at 6 MHz.

•

The offset values are automatically stored in the corresponding OFFSETx[11:0] fields.

Launching conversions
Injected conversions can be launched using the following methods:
•

Software: writing ‘1’ to the JSWSTART bit in the SDADC_CR2 register.

•

Trigger: the JEXTSEL[2:0] bits select the trigger signal while the JEXTEN bit activates
the trigger and selects the active edge at the same time.

•

Synchronous with SDADC1: for SDADC2 or SDADC3, an injected conversion is
automatically launched when an action in SDADC1 causes its own injected conversion
sequence to start. Each injected conversion in SDADC2 or SDADC3 is always
executed according its local configuration settings (JDS, JCONT, JCHG, etc.).

Each time an injected conversion is launched, all of the selected channels in the injected
group are converted sequentially, starting with the highest channel (channel 8, if selected).
Only one injected conversion can be pending or ongoing at a given time. Thus, any request
to launch an injected conversion is ignored if another request for an injected conversion has
already been issued but not yet completed.
Regular conversions can be launched using the following methods:
•

Software: by writing ‘1’ to RSWSTART in the SDADC_CR2 register.

•

Synchronous with SDADC1: for SDADC2 or SDADC3, a regular conversion is
automatically launched when an action in SDADC1 causes its own regular conversion
sequence to start. Each regular conversion in SDADC2 or SDADC3 is always executed
according its local configuration settings (RCONT, RCH, etc.).

Only one regular conversion can be pending or ongoing at a given time. Thus, any request
to launch a regular conversion is ignored if another request for an regular conversion has
already been issued but not yet completed.

13.5.9

Continuous and fast continuous modes
Setting the JCONT bit in the SDADC_CR2 register causes injected conversions launched
by software to execute in continuous mode. If software writes ‘1’ to the JCONT bit at the

DocID022448 Rev 5

233/904
260

Sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter (SDADC)

RM0313

same time as it writes ‘1’ to the JSWSTART bit, the same scan sequence is performed
repeatedly, always starting over at the highest channel after the lowest channel is finished.
Similarly, setting the RCONT bit causes regular conversions to execute in continuous mode.
RCONT=1 means that the channel selected by the RCH[3:0] bits is converted repeatedly
after ‘1’ is written to the RSWSTART bit.
The sequence of injected conversions executing in continuous mode can be stopped by
writing ‘0’ to the JCONT bit. After clearing the JCONT bit, only the on-going conversion will
be completed; the scan sequence is interrupted, and thus the final conversion will not be the
last (lowest) selected channel unless it was the one being converted when the JCONT bit
was cleared.
Similarly, writing ‘0’ to the RCONT bit stops continuous regular conversions, allowing only
the currently executing conversion to complete.
If just a single channel is selected in continuous mode (either by executing a regular
conversion or by executing a injected conversion with only one channel selected), the
sampling rate can be increased three fold by setting the FAST bit in the SDADC_CR2
register. The conversion of each channel normally requires 360 SDADC clock cycles (60 µs
at 6 MHz). In fast continuous mode (FAST=1), the first conversion takes still 360 SDADC
clocks, but then each subsequent conversion finishes in 120 SDADC clocks.

13.5.10

Request precedence
In summary, the calibration sequence has the highest precedence, followed by injected
conversions, while regular conversions have the lowest priority. However, an individual
conversion which is already in progress is never interrupted by the request for another
action. Also, a request is ignored if a like action is already pending or in progress. Finally, no
action can start before stabilization has finished. The following text gives examples and
more details.
Injected conversions can not be launched if another injected conversion is pending or
already in progress: any request to launch a injected conversion (either by JSWSTART or
by a trigger) is ignored when the bit JCIP (in the SDADC_ISR register) is ‘1’.
Similarly, regular conversions can not be launched if another regular conversion is pending
or already in progress: any request to launch a regular conversion (using RSWSTART) is
ignored when the RCIP bit in the SDADC_ISR register is ‘1’.
However, if a injected conversion is requested while a regular conversion is already in
progress (or vice-versa), the injected conversion is launched as soon as the regular
conversion is finished (or vice-versa, assuming that the injected scans sequence is finished
and JCONT=0).
Injected conversions have precedence over regular conversions in that a injected
conversion can temporarily interrupt a sequence of continuous regular conversions (after
the current conversion finishes). When the sequence of injected conversions finishes (at the
end of the scan sequence or by writing ‘0’ to the JCONT bit in the case of continuous
injected conversion mode), the continuous regular conversions start again if the RCONT bit
is still set.
Precedence matters also when actions are initiated by the same write to SDADC, or if
multiple actions are pending at the end of an other action. For example, suppose that while
stabilization is in process (STABIP=1), a single write operation to SDADC_CR2 writes ‘1’ to
both the RSWSTART and STARTCALIB bits, requesting a regular conversion as well as a
calibration sequence. Then a trigger event occurs which requests an injected conversion,

234/904

DocID022448 Rev 5

RM0313

Sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter (SDADC)
still during stabilization. When stabilization finishes, precedence dictates that the calibration
sequence will execute first, followed by the injected scan sequence, and then finally the
regular conversion is performed.

13.5.11

Launching conversions with deterministic timing
In applications where certain conversions must be launched at precise intervals, it is a
problem if these conversions get delayed by another conversion which is already in
progress. This issue can be resolved by setting the JDS (delay start of injected conversions)
bit in the SDADC_CR2 register.
When JDS=1, the start of each injected conversion is delayed by 500 cycles, during which
time no new regular conversions may be launched. Since no conversion can take longer
than 360 cycles once it is started, there is guaranteed to be no regular conversions which
are in progress at the end of the delay. Note that if PDI=1 (power down mode when idle) and
SLOWCK=0 (when the SDADC clock frequency can be as high as 6 MHz), the delay is
increased from 500 cycles to 600 cycles since the SDADC needs that many cycles to
stabilize as it wakes from power down mode.
In this manner, applications can launch regular conversions at any time without affecting the
timing of the injected conversions. If continuous regular conversions are executing, they will
restart automatically after the injected conversions are complete.

13.5.12

Reference voltage
The reference voltage, common to all three sigma-delta ADCs (SDADC1, SDADC2, and
SDADC3), is always seen on the VREFSD+ pin
•

When REFV (SDADC_CR1) is “00” (its default value), the VREFSD+ pin must be
driven externally to a voltage between 1.1V and VDDA.

•

When REFV=01, the VREFSD+ pin is forced internally to the 1.2V bandgap voltage
and must be connected externally to a capacitance coupled to VREFSD-.

•

When REFV=10, the VREFSD+ pin is forced internally to the 1.8V bandgap voltage
and must be connected externally to a capacitance coupled to VREFSD-.

•

When REFV=11, the VREFSD+ pin is forced internally to VDDSDx. It must be
externally connected to a capacitance coupled to VREFSD-.
–

If SDADC1 or SDADC2 are enabled through ENSD1 or ENSD2 bits in PWR_CR
register then VDDSD1/2 must be at the same voltage level as VDDSD3.

–

If SDADC1 and SDADC2 are disabled through ENSD1 and ENSD2 bits in
PWR_CR register then VDDSD12 can be lower than VDDSD3.

The REFV[1:0] control bits are available only in the register set of SDADC1.
For applications which do not use the SDADC, the VREFSD+ pin must not be left floating.
The VREFSD+ pin must be tied to VDD, or software must set REFV to “11”. The VREFSDpin must always be grounded.
The selected reference voltage is always present on the VREFSD+ pin. This pin must be
decoupled by a capacitor (1 µF recommended). If VDDSDx is selected through the
reference voltage selection bits (REFV=”11” in SDADC_CR1 register), the application must
first configure REFV and then wait for at least 2 ms before enabling the SDADC (ADON=1
in SDADC_CR2 register). The 1 µF decoupling capacitor must be fully charged before
enabling the SDADC.

RM0313

The voltage on VREFSD+ pin must meet the following conditions:

13.5.13

•

It must always be less than VDDSD3 (in particular when no SDADC is used).

•

it must be always less than VDDSD12 if SDADC1 or SDADC2 is enabled through
ENSD1 or ENSD2 bits in PWR_CR register.

Analog input signal ranges
The input analog voltage on input channel pins (SDADCx_AIN[8:0]P, SDADCx_AIN[8:0]M)
must be in the SDADC power supply range (VSSSD, VDDSDx) for all selected
measurement modes and gains.
The input analog voltage range corresponding to full-scale SDADC output data range
depends on the measurement mode (Section 13.5.5: Differential and single-ended modes),
on the selected channel gain, and on the selected reference voltage (configured through
REFV[1:0] bits):
•

In differential mode, the full-scale differential voltage, VIN, ranges between
SDADCx_AIN[8:0]P and SDADCx_AIN[8:0]M:
– VREFSD
VREFSD
V IN = ----------------------------- to -------------------------2 × gain

•

In single ended offset mode, the full-scale differential voltage, VIN, ranges between
SDADCx_AIN[8:0]P and VREFSD-:
VREFSD
V IN = VREFSD – to -------------------------2 × gain

•

In single ended zero reference mode, the full-scale differential voltage, VIN, ranges
between SDADCx_AIN[8:0]P and VREFSD-:
VREFSD
V IN = VREFSD – to -------------------------gain

where VREFSD = VREFSD+ - VREFSD-.

Sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter (SDADC)

Bit 11 SBI: Enter Standby mode when idle
0: Do not put the SDADC in Standby mode when it is idle
1: Put the SDADC in Standby mode when it is idle
When the SDADC is in Standby mode and a conversion is requested, the SDADC takes 50µs to
stabilize before launching the conversion.
Software must not write ‘1’ to SBI at the same time that it writes ‘1’ to PDI.
This bit can be modified only when ADON=0 (SDADC_CR2).
Bit 10 SLOWCK: Slow clock mode enable
0: Disable Slow mode
1: Enable Slow mode (where the SDADC clock frequency should be only 1.5MHz) allowing a lower
level of current consumption as well as operation at a lower minimum voltage
This bit may be written only when ADON=0 (SDADC_CR2).
Bits 9:8 REFV[1:0]: Reference voltage selection
00: External reference where the VREFSD+ pin must be forced externally
01: Internal reference where the reference voltage is forced to the 1.2V bandgap voltage internally
and the VREFSD+ pin must be connected externally to a capacitance coupled to VREFSD10: Internal reference where the reference voltage is forced to the 1.8V bandgap voltage internally
and the VREFSD+ pin must be connected externally to a capacitance coupled to VREFSD11: Internal reference where the reference voltage is forced internally to VDDSDx and the VREFSD+
pin must be externally connected to a capacitance coupled to VREFSD-. See Section : Constrains
on VDDSDx versus VREFSD voltage).
These bits are available only in the register set of SDADC1 and may be written only when ADON=0
(SDADC_CR2) for all SDADC modules.
Bit 7:5 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bit 4 ROVRIE: Regular data overrun interrupt enable
0: Regular data overrun interrupt disabled
1: Regular data overrun interrupt enabled
Please see explanation of ROVRF in SDADC_ISR.
Bit 3 REOCIE: Regular end of conversion interrupt enable

Bits 31:25 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bit 24 FAST: Fast conversion mode selection
0: Fast conversion mode disabled
1: Fast conversion mode enabled
When converting a single channel in continuous mode, having enabled fast mode causes each
conversion (except for the first) to execute 3 times faster (taking 120 SDADC cycles rather than
360). This bit has no effect for conversions which are not continuous.
This bit can be modified only when INITRDY=1 (SDADC_ISR) or ADON=0 (SDADC_CR2).
Bit 23 RSWSTART: Software start of a conversion on the regular channel
0: Writing ‘0’ has no effect
1: Writing ‘1’ makes a request to start a conversion on the regular channel and causes RCIP to
become ‘1’. If RCIP=1 already or if INIT=1, writing to RSWSTART has no effect
This bit is always read as ‘0’.
Bit 22 RCONT: Continuous mode selection for regular conversions
0: The regular channel is converted just once for each conversion request
1: The regular channel is converted repeatedly after each conversion request
Writing ‘0’ to this bit while a continuous regular conversion is already in progress stops continuous
mode after the conversion already in progress is finished.
Setting this bit to ‘1’ has no effect on any regular conversion which is pending or already in progress.
Bits 21:20 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bits 19:16 RCH[3:0]: Regular channel selection
0: Channel 0 is selected as regular channel
1: Channel 1 is selected as regular channel
...
8: Channel 8 is selected as regular channel
9-15: Reserved, these values are forbidden
Writing these bits when RCIP=1 takes effect when the next regular conversion begins. This is
especially useful in continuous mode (when RCONT=1). It affects also regular conversions which
are pending (due to stabilization or due to an ongoing injected conversion).

Bit 15 JSWSTART: Start a conversion of the injected group of channels
0: Writing ‘0’ has no effect.
1: Writing ‘1’ makes a request to convert the channels in the injected conversion group, causing
JCIP to become ‘1’ at the same time. If JCIP=1 already or if INIT=1, then writing to JSWSTART has
no effect.
This bit is always read as ‘0’.
Bits 14:13 JEXTEN[1:0]: Trigger enable and trigger edge selection for injected conversions
00: Trigger detection is disabled
01: Each rising edge on the selected trigger makes a request to launch a injected conversion
10: Each falling edge on the selected trigger makes a request to launch a injected conversion
11: Both rising edges and falling edges on the selected trigger make requests to launch injected
conversions

Bit 7 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bit 6 JDS: Delay start of injected conversions.
0: Injected conversions begin as soon as possible after the request
1: After a request for a injected conversion is made, the SDADC waits a fixed interval before
launching the conversion, allowing time for any regular conversions which is already in progress to
finish, and thus assuring that the timing of the launch is deterministic.
The delay is 500 ADC clocks, unless PDI=1 and SLOWCK=0, in which case the delay is 600 ADC
clocks.
This bit can be modified only when INITRDY=1 (SDADC_ISR) or ADON=0 (SDADC_CR2).
Bit 5 JCONT: Continuous mode selection for injected conversions
0: The series of conversions which converts each selected channel (the scan sequence) is executed
just once for each conversion request
1: The series of conversions for the injected group channels is repeated continuously, starting over
with the highest selected channel each time the lowest selected channel finishes its conversion
Writing ‘0’ to this bit while a continuous injected conversion is already in progress stops continuous
mode after the conversion already in progress is finished. If an injected conversions is pending or is
already in progress when this bit changes to ‘1’, it does not become continuous.

Bit 4 STARTCALIB: Start calibration
0: Writing ‘0’ has no effect
1: Writing ‘1’ makes a request to start the calibration sequence, causing CALIBIP to become ‘1’ at
the same time
After the request is made, the calibration starts as soon as any ongoing activity (stabilization or a
conversion) is finished, or immediately if the SDADC is stabilized and idle.
Writing this bit when CALIBIP=1 or when INIT=1 has no effect.
This bit is always read as ‘0’.
Bit 3 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bits 2:1 CALIBCNT[1:0]: Number of calibration sequences to be performed (number of valid configurations)
0: One calibration sequence will be performed to calculate OFFSET0[11:0]

3: Reserved, must not use this value
This bit can be modified only when INITRDY=1 (SDADC_ISR) or ADON=0 (SDADC_CR2).
Bit 0 ADON: SDADC enable
0: All SDADC functions are disabled. Power down mode is entered, and the flags and the data are
cleared
1: SDADC is enabled.
When PDI=0, the SDADC exits power down mode and the 100us of stabilization are observed
starting at the moment that ADON is set to ‘1’.

Bit 31 INITRDY: Initialization mode is ready
0: The SDADC is not in initialization mode.
1: The SDADC is in initialization mode
Many control and configuration registers (see their descriptions) can be modified only when
INITRDY=1.
Hardware clears this bit as soon as INIT (SDADC_CR1) is cleared.
Hardware sets this bit after the INIT bit is set. If a conversion or calibration is pending or ongoing
when INIT is cleared, INITRDY stays at ‘0’ until all operations have complete. Otherwise, INITRDY
becomes ‘1’ about two SDADC clock cycles after INIT is set.
Bits 30:16 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bit 15 STABIP: Stabilization in progress status
0: The SDADC is either stabilized or it is in power down mode or Standby mode
1: The SDADC is currently in the process of stabilization, after waking up from either power down
mode or Standby mode
A request to start the calibration sequence or to start a conversion can be issued while STABIP=1,
with the actions automatically delayed until after stabilization is complete.
Bit 14 RCIP: Regular conversion in progress status
0: No request to convert the regular channel has been issued
1: The conversion of the regular channel is in progress or a request for a regular conversion is
pending
A request to start a regular conversion is ignored when RCIP=1.
Bit 13 JCIP: Injected conversion in progress status
0: No request to convert the injected channel group (neither by software nor by trigger) has been
issued
1: The conversion of the injected channel group is in progress or a request for a injected conversion
is pending, due either to ‘1’ being written to JSWSTART or to a trigger detection
A request to start a injected conversion is ignored when JCIP=1.
Bit 12 CALIBIP: Calibration in progress status
0: No calibration request has been issued
1: Calibration is in progress or a request to start calibration is pending
A request to start calibration is ignored when CALIBIP=1.

Bit 4 ROVRF: Regular conversion overrun flag
0: No regular conversion overrun has occurred
1: A regular conversion overrun has occurred, which means that a regular conversion finished while
REOCF was already ‘1’. RDATAR is not affected by overruns
This bit is set by hardware. It can be cleared by software using the CLRROVRF bit in the
SDADC_CLRISR register.
Bit 3 REOCF: End of regular conversion flag

This bit is set by hardware. It is cleared when software reads SDADC_RDATAR.
Bit 2 JOVRF: Injected conversion overrun flag
0: No injected conversion overrun has occurred
1: A injected conversion overrun has occurred, which means that a injected conversion finished
while JEOCF was already ‘1’. JDATAR is not affected by overruns
This bit is set by hardware. It can be cleared by software using the CLRJOVRF bit in the

Bit 1 JEOCF: End of injected conversion flag
0: No injected conversion has completed
1: A injected conversion has completed and its data may be read
This bit is set by hardware. It is cleared when software reads SDADC_JDATAR.

Note:

For each of the flag bits (ROVRF, REOCF, JOVRF, JEOCF, and EOCALF), an interrupt can
be enabled by setting the corresponding bit in the SDADC_CR1 register. If an interrupt is
requested, the flag must be cleared before exiting the interrupt service routine.
All the bits of SDADC_ISR except INITRDY are cleared automatically when ADON=0.

Bits 31:9 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bits 8:0 JCHG[8:0]: Injected channel group selection
0: If JCHG[i]=0, then channel i is not part of the injected group (where, 0 <= i <= 8)
1: If JCHG[i]=1, then channel i is part of the injected group (where, 0 <= i <= 8)
A injected conversion operates always in scan mode, which means that each of selected channels
are converted, one after another. The highest channel (channel 8, if selected) is converted first and
the sequence ends at the lowest selected channel.
If JCONT=1, this series of conversions is performed continuously.
If JCONT=1, FAST=1, and there is only one channel selected in the injected group, then each of the
conversions (besides the first) finishes in only 120 SDADC cycles (rather than 360).
This field can be modified while an injected conversion is in progress and it will take effect for the
next group conversion. Writing JCHG also affects injected conversions which are pending (due to
stabilization or due to the delay caused by JDS=1).
At least one channel must always be selected for the injected group. Writes causing all JCHG bits to
be zero are ignored.

Bits 31:28 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bits 27:24 JDATACH[3:0]: Injected channel most recently converted
When each conversion of a channel in the injected group finishes, JDATACH[3:0] is updated to
indicate which channel was converted. This field is valid when JEOCF=1, and is set to zero when
JEOCF is cleared. Thus, when JEOCF=1, JDATA[15:0] holds the data that corresponds to the
channel indicated by JDATACH[3:0].
Bits 23:16 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bits 15:0 JDATA[15:0]: Injected group conversion data
When each conversion of a channel in the injected group finishes, its resulting data is stored in this

corresponding JEOCF.

Note:

DMA may be used to read the data from this register. Half-word accesses may be used to
read only the conversion data.

Note:

This register is cleared as soon as it is read. Reading this register also clears JEOCF in
SDADC_ISR. Thus, firmware must not read this register if DMA is activated to read data

Digital-to-analog converter (DAC1 and DAC2)

14.1

Introduction
The DAC module is a 12-bit, voltage output digital-to-analog converter. The DAC can be
configured in 8- or 12-bit mode and may be used in conjunction with the DMA controller. In
12-bit mode, the data could be left- or right-aligned. An input reference voltage, VDDA
(shared with ADC), is available. The output can optionally be buffered for higher current
drive.

14.2

DAC1/2 main features
The devices integrate three 12-bit DAC channels:
•

DAC1 integrates two DAC channels:
–

DAC1 channel 1 which output is DAC1_OUT1

–

DAC1 channel 2 which output is DAC1_OUT2

The two channels can be used independently or simultaneously when both channels
are grouped together for synchronous update operations (dual mode).
•

DAC2 integrates only one channel, DAC2 channel 1 which output is DAC2_OUT1 .

The DAC main features are the following:
•

Left or right data alignment in 12-bit mode

•

Synchronized update capability

•

Noise-wave generation (DAC1 only)

•

Triangular-wave generation (DAC1 only)

•

Independent or simultaneous conversions (dual mode only)

•

DMA capability for each channel

•

DMA underrun error detection

•

External triggers for conversion

•

Programmable internal buffer

•

Input voltage reference, VDDA

Figure 42 and Figure 43 show the block diagram of a DAC1 and DAC2 channel and
Table 39 gives the pin description.

parasitic consumption, the PA4, PA5 or PA6 pin should first be configured to analog (AIN).

14.3

DAC output buffer enable
The DAC integrates two output buffers that can be used to reduce the output impedance
and to drive external loads directly without having to add an external operational amplifier.
The DAC channel output buffer can be enabled and disabled through the BOFF1 bit in the
DAC_CR register.

DAC channel enable
Each DAC channel can be powered on by setting the corresponding ENx bit in the DAC_CR
register. Each DAC channel is then enabled after a startup time tWAKEUP.

Note:

The ENx bit enables the analog DAC Channelx macrocell only. The DAC Channelx digital
interface is enabled even if the ENx bit is reset.

14.5

Single mode functional description

14.5.1

DAC data format
There are three possibilities:
•

8-bit right alignment: the software has to load data into the DAC_DHR8Rx [7:0] bits
(stored into the DHRx[11:4] bits)

•

12-bit left alignment: the software has to load data into the DAC_DHR12Lx [15:4] bits
(stored into the DHRx[11:0] bits)

•

12-bit right alignment: the software has to load data into the DAC_DHR12Rx [11:0] bits
(stored into the DHRx[11:0] bits)

Depending on the loaded DAC_DHRyyyx register, the data written by the user is shifted and
stored into the corresponding DHRx (data holding registerx, which are internal non-memorymapped registers). The DHRx register is then loaded into the DORx register either
automatically, by software trigger or by an external event trigger.
Figure 44. Data registers in single DAC channel mode

ELWOHIWDOLJQHG
ELWULJKWDOLJQHG

14.5.2

DAC channel conversion
The DAC_DORx cannot be written directly and any data transfer to the DAC channelx must
be performed by loading the DAC_DHRx register (write to DAC_DHR8Rx, DAC_DHR12Lx,
DAC_DHR12Rx).
Data stored in the DAC_DHRx register are automatically transferred to the DAC_DORx
register after one APB1 clock cycle, if no hardware trigger is selected (TENx bit in DAC_CR
register is reset). However, when a hardware trigger is selected (TENx bit in DAC_CR
register is set) and a trigger occurs, the transfer is performed three PCLK1 clock cycles
later.
When DAC_DORx is loaded with the DAC_DHRx contents, the analog output voltage
becomes available after a time tSETTLING that depends on the power supply voltage and the
analog output load.

Independent trigger with single LFSR generation
To configure the DAC in this conversion mode (see Section 14.7: Noise generation), the
following sequence is required:
1.

Set the DAC channel trigger enable bit TENx.

2.

Configure the trigger source by setting TSELx[2:0] bits.

3.

Configure the DAC channel WAVEx[1:0] bits as “01” and the same LFSR mask value in
the MAMPx[3:0] bits

4.

Load the DAC channel data into the desired DAC_DHRx register (DHR12RD,
DHR12LD or DHR8RD).

When a DAC channelx trigger arrives, the LFSRx counter, with the same mask, is added to
the DHRx register and the sum is transferred into DAC_DORx (three APB clock cycles
later). Then the LFSRx counter is updated.

Independent trigger with single triangle generation
To configure the DAC in this conversion mode (see Section 14.8: Triangle-wave generation),
the following sequence is required:
1.

Set the DAC channelx trigger enable TENx bits.

2.

Configure the trigger source by setting TSELx[2:0] bits.

3.

Configure the DAC channelx WAVEx[1:0] bits as “1x” and the same maximum
amplitude value in the MAMPx[3:0] bits

4.

Load the DAC channelx data into the desired DAC_DHRx register. (DHR12RD,
DHR12LD or DHR8RD).

When a DAC channelx trigger arrives, the DAC channelx triangle counter, with the same
triangle amplitude, is added to the DHRx register and the sum is transferred into
DAC_DORx (three APB clock cycles later). The DAC channelx triangle counter is then
updated.

14.5.3

DAC output voltage
Digital inputs are converted to output voltages on a linear conversion between 0 and VDDA.
The analog output voltages on each DAC channel pin are determined by the following
equation:
DOR
DACoutput = V DDA × -------------4096

DAC trigger selection
If the TENx control bit is set, conversion can then be triggered by an external event (timer
counter, external interrupt line). The TSELx[2:0] control bits determine which possible
events will trigger conversion as shown in Table 41.

Each time a DAC interface detects a rising edge on the selected timer TRGO output, or on
the selected external interrupt line 9, the last data stored into the DAC_DHRx register are
transferred into the DAC_DORx register. The DAC_DORx register is updated three APB1
cycles after the trigger occurs.
If the software trigger is selected, the conversion starts once the SWTRIG bit is set.
SWTRIG is reset by hardware once the DAC_DORx register has been loaded with the
DAC_DHRx register contents.
Note:

266/904

TSELx[2:0] bit cannot be changed when the ENx bit is set. When software trigger is
selected, the transfer from the DAC_DHRx register to the DAC_DORx register takes only
one APB1 clock cycle.

Dual-mode functional description

14.6.1

DAC data format
In Dual DAC channel mode, there are three possibilities:
•

8-bit right alignment: data for DAC channel1 to be loaded in the DAC_DHR8RD [7:0]
bits (stored in the DHR1[11:4] bits) and data for DAC channel2 to be loaded in the
DAC_DHR8RD [15:8] bits (stored in the DHR2[11:4] bits)

•

12-bit left alignment: data for DAC channel1 to be loaded into the DAC_DHR12LD
[15:4] bits (stored into the DHR1[11:0] bits) and data for DAC channel2 to be loaded
into the DAC_DHR12LD [31:20] bits (stored in the DHR2[11:0] bits)

•

12-bit right alignment: data for DAC channel1 to be loaded into the DAC_DHR12RD
[11:0] bits (stored in the DHR1[11:0] bits) and data for DAC channel2 to be loaded into
the DAC_DHR12LD [27:16] bits (stored in the DHR2[11:0] bits)

Depending on the loaded DAC_DHRyyyD register, the data written by the user is shifted
and stored in DHR1 and DHR2 (data holding registers, which are internal non-memorymapped registers). The DHR1 and DHR2 registers are then loaded into the DOR1 and
DOR2 registers, respectively, either automatically, by software trigger or by an external
event trigger.

14.6.2

DAC channel conversion in dual mode
The DAC channel conversion in dual mode is performed in the same way as in single mode
(refer to Section 14.5.2) except that the data have to be loaded by writing to DAC_DHR8Rx,
DAC_DHR12Lx, DAC_DHR12Rx, DAC_DHR8RD, DAC_DHR12LD or DAC_DHR12RD.

14.6.3

Description of dual conversion modes
To efficiently use the bus bandwidth in applications that require the two DAC channels at the
same time, three dual registers are implemented: DHR8RD, DHR12RD and DHR12LD. A
unique register access is then required to drive both DAC channels at the same time.
Eleven 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 are described in the paragraphs below.
Refer to Section 14.5.2: DAC channel conversion for details on the APB bus (APB or APB1)
that clocks the DAC conversions.

14.7

Noise generation
In order to generate a variable-amplitude pseudonoise, an LFSR (linear feedback shift
register) is available. DAC noise generation is selected by setting WAVEx[1:0] to “01”. The
preloaded value in LFSR is 0xAAA. This register is updated three APB clock cycles after
each trigger event, following a specific calculation algorithm.

DLF

The LFSR value, that may be masked partially or totally by means of the MAMPx[3:0] bits in
the DAC_CR register, is added up to the DAC_DHRx contents without overflow and this
value is then stored into the DAC_DORx register.
If LFSR is 0x0000, a ‘1 is injected into it (antilock-up mechanism).

Note:

The DAC trigger must be enabled for noise generation by setting the TENx bit in the
DAC_CR register.
Noise generation is not available on DAC2.

14.8

Triangle-wave generation
It is possible to add a small-amplitude triangular waveform on a DC or slowly varying signal.
DAC triangle-wave generation is selected by setting WAVEx[1:0] to “10”. The amplitude is
configured through the MAMPx[3:0] bits in the DAC_CR register. An internal triangle counter
is incremented three APB clock cycles after each trigger event. The value of this counter is
then added to the DAC_DHRx register without overflow and the sum is stored into the
DAC_DORx register. The triangle counter is incremented as long as it is less than the
maximum amplitude defined by the MAMPx[3:0] bits. Once the configured amplitude is
reached, the counter is decremented down to 0, then incremented again and so on.
It is possible to reset triangle wave generation by resetting the WAVEx[1:0] bits.

Note:

The DAC trigger must be enabled for triangle generation by setting the TENx bit in the

The MAMPx[3:0] bits must be configured before enabling the DAC, otherwise they cannot
be changed.
Triangle-wave generation is not available on DAC2.

14.9

DMA request
Each DAC channel has a DMA capability. Two DMA channels are used to service DAC
channel DMA requests.
A DAC DMA request is generated when an external trigger (but not a software trigger)
occurs while the DMAENx bit is set. The value of the DAC_DHRx register is then transferred
to the DAC_DORx register.
In dual mode, if both DMAENx bits are set, two DMA requests are generated. If only one
DMA request is needed, user should set only the corresponding DMAENx bit. In this way,
the application can manage both DAC channels in dual mode by using one DMA request
and a unique DMA channel.

DMA underrun
The DAC DMA request is not queued so that if a second external trigger arrives before the
acknowledgment for the first external trigger is received (first request), then no new request
is issued and the DMA channelx underrun flag DMAUDRx in the DAC_SR register is set,
reporting the error condition. DMA data transfers are then disabled and no further DMA
request is treated. The DAC channelx continues to convert old data.
The software should clear the DMAUDRx flag by writing “1”, clear the DMAEN bit of the
used DMA stream and re-initialize both DMA and DAC channelx to restart the transfer
correctly. The software should modify the DAC trigger conversion frequency or lighten the
DMA workload to avoid a new DMA. Finally, the DAC conversion can be resumed by
enabling both DMA data transfer and conversion trigger.
For each DAC channel, an interrupt is also generated if the corresponding DMAUDRIEx bit
in the DAC_CR register is enabled.

Comparator (COMP)

15.1

Introduction
STM32F37xxx devices embed two general purpose comparators COMP1 and COMP2,that
can be used either as standalone devices (all terminal are available on I/Os) or combined
with the timers.
The comparators can be used for a variety of functions including:

15.2

286/904

•

Wake-up from low-power mode triggered by an analog signal,

•

Analog signal conditioning,

•

Cycle-by-cycle current control loop when combined with the DAC and a PWM output
from a timer.

COMP main features
•

Rail-to-rail comparators

•

Each comparator has positive and configurable negative inputs used for flexible voltage
selection:
–

3 I/O pins

–

DAC1

–

Internal reference voltage and three submultiple values (1/4, 1/2, 3/4) provided by
scaler (buffered voltage divider)

•

Programmable hysteresis

•

Programmable speed / consumption

•

The outputs can be redirected to an I/O or to timer inputs for triggering:
–

Capture events

–

OCREF_CLR events (for cycle-by-cycle current control)

–

Break events for fast PWM shutdowns

•

COMP1 and COMP2 comparators can be combined in a window comparator.

•

Each comparator has interrupt generation capability with wake-up from Sleep and Stop
modes (through the EXTI controller)

15.3.2

COMP pins and internal signals
The I/Os used as comparators inputs must be configured in analog mode in the GPIOs
registers.
The comparator output can be connected to the I/Os using the alternate function channel
given in “Alternate function mapping” table in the datasheet.
The output can also be internally redirected to a variety of timer input for the following
purposes:
•

Emergency shut-down of PWM signals, using BKIN

•

Cycle-by-cycle current control, using OCREF_CLR inputs

•

Input capture for timing measures

It is possible to have the comparator output simultaneously redirected internally and
externally.

Comparator (COMP)

15.3.3

RM0313

COMP reset and clocks
The COMP clock provided by the clock controller is synchronous with the PCLK (APB1
clock).
There is no clock enable control bit provided in the RCC controller.

Note:

Important: The polarity selection logic and the output redirection to the port works
independently from the PCLK clock. This allows the comparator to work even in Stop mode.

15.3.4

Comparator LOCK mechanism
The comparators can be used for safety purposes, such as over-current or thermal
protection. For applications having specific functional safety requirements, it is necessary to
insure that the comparator programming cannot be altered in case of spurious register
access or program counter corruption.
For this purpose, the comparator control and status registers can be write-protected (readonly).
Once the programming is completed, using bits 30:16 and 15:0 of COMP_CSR, the
COMPxLOCK bit can be set to 1. This causes the whole COMP_CSR register to become
read-only, including the COMPxLOCK bit.
The write protection can only be reset by a MCU reset.

15.3.5

Hysteresis
The comparator includes a programmable hysteresis to avoid spurious output transitions in
case of noisy signals. The hysteresis can be disabled if it is not needed (for instance when
exiting from low-power mode) to be able to force the hysteresis value using external
components.

Comparator (COMP)

Power mode
The comparator power consumption versus propagation delay can be adjusted to have the
optimum trade-off for a given application.The bits COMPxMODE[1:0] in COMP_CSR
register can be programmed as follows:

15.4

•

00: High speed / full power

•

01: Medium speed / medium power

•

10: Low speed / low-power

•

11: Very-low speed / ultra-low-power

COMP interrupts
The comparator outputs are internally connected to the Extended interrupts and events
controller. Each comparator has its own EXTI line and can generate either interrupts or
events. The same mechanism is used to exit from low-power modes.
Refer to Interrupt and events section for more details.

General-purpose timers (TIM2 to TIM5, TIM19)

16.1

TIM2 to TIM5/TIM19 introduction

RM0313

The general-purpose timers consist of a 16-bit or 32-bit auto-reload counter driven by a
programmable prescaler.
They may be used for a variety of purposes, including measuring the pulse lengths of input
signals (input capture) or generating output waveforms (output compare and PWM).
Pulse lengths and waveform periods can be modulated from a few microseconds to several
milliseconds using the timer prescaler and the RCC clock controller prescalers.
The timers are completely independent, and do not share any resources. They can be
synchronized together as described in Section 16.3.15.

16.2

TIM2 to TIM5/TIM19 main features
General-purpose TIMx timer features include:

294/904

TIM2 to TIM5/TIM19 functional description

16.3.1

Time-base unit

RM0313

The main block of the programmable timer is a 16-bit/32-bit counter with its related autoreload register. The counter can count up, down or both up and down but also down or both
up and down. The counter clock can be divided by a prescaler.
The counter, the auto-reload register and the prescaler register can be written or read by
software. This is true even when the counter is running.
The time-base unit includes:
•

Counter Register (TIMx_CNT)

•

Prescaler Register (TIMx_PSC):

•

Auto-Reload Register (TIMx_ARR)

The auto-reload register is preloaded. Writing to or reading from the auto-reload register
accesses the preload register. The content of the preload register are transferred into the
shadow register permanently or at each update event (UEV), depending on the auto-reload
preload enable bit (ARPE) in TIMx_CR1 register. The update event is sent when the counter
reaches the overflow (or underflow when downcounting) and if the UDIS bit equals 0 in the
TIMx_CR1 register. It can also be generated by software. The generation of the update
event is described in detail for each configuration.
The counter is clocked by the prescaler output CK_CNT, which is enabled only when the
counter enable bit (CEN) in TIMx_CR1 register is set (refer also to the slave mode controller
description to get more details on counter enabling).
Note that the actual counter enable signal CNT_EN is set 1 clock cycle after CEN.

Prescaler description
The prescaler can divide the counter clock frequency by any factor between 1 and 65536. It
is based on a 16-bit counter controlled through a 16-bit/32-bit register (in the TIMx_PSC
register). It can be changed on the fly as this control register is buffered. The new prescaler
ratio is taken into account at the next update event.
Figure 54 and Figure 16.3.2 give some examples of the counter behavior when the
prescaler ratio is changed on the fly:

Counter modes
Upcounting mode
In upcounting mode, the counter counts from 0 to the auto-reload value (content of the
TIMx_ARR register), then restarts from 0 and generates a counter overflow event.
An Update event can be generated at each counter overflow or by setting the UG bit in the
TIMx_EGR register (by software or by using the slave mode controller).
The UEV event can be disabled by software by setting the UDIS bit in TIMx_CR1 register.
This is to avoid updating the shadow registers while writing new values in the preload
registers. Then no update event occurs until the UDIS bit has been written to 0. However,
the counter restarts from 0, as well as the counter of the prescaler (but the prescale rate
does not change). In addition, if the URS bit (update request selection) in TIMx_CR1
register is set, setting the UG bit generates an update event UEV but without setting the UIF
flag (thus no interrupt or DMA request is sent). This is to avoid 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
TIMx_SR register) is set (depending on the URS bit):
•

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

•

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

The following figures show some examples of the counter behavior for different clock
frequencies when TIMx_ARR=0x36.

Downcounting mode
In downcounting mode, the counter counts from the auto-reload value (content of the
TIMx_ARR register) down to 0, then restarts from the auto-reload value and generates a
counter underflow event.
An Update event can be generate at each counter underflow or by setting the UG bit in the
TIMx_EGR register (by software or by using the slave mode controller)
The UEV update event can be disabled by software by setting the UDIS bit in TIMx_CR1
register. This is to avoid updating the shadow registers while writing new values in the
preload registers. Then no update event occurs until 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 (but the prescale rate doesn’t change).
In addition, if the URS bit (update request selection) in TIMx_CR1 register is set, setting the
UG bit generates an update event UEV but without setting the UIF flag (thus no interrupt or
DMA request is sent). This is to avoid generating both update and capture interrupts when

•

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

Center-aligned mode (up/down counting)
In center-aligned mode, the counter counts from 0 to the auto-reload value (content of the
TIMx_ARR register) – 1, generates a counter overflow event, then counts from the autoreload value down to 1 and generates a counter underflow event. Then it restarts counting
from 0.
Center-aligned mode is active when the CMS bits in TIMx_CR1 register are not equal to
'00'. The Output compare interrupt flag of channels configured in output is set when: the
counter counts down (Center aligned mode 1, CMS = "01"), the counter counts up (Center
aligned mode 2, CMS = "10") the counter counts up and down (Center aligned mode 3,
CMS = "11").
In this mode, the direction bit (DIR from TIMx_CR1 register) cannot be written. It is updated
by hardware and gives the current direction of the counter.
The update event can be generated at each counter overflow and at each counter underflow
or by setting the UG bit in the TIMx_EGR register (by software or by using the slave mode
controller) also generates an update event. In this case, the counter restarts counting from
0, as well as the counter of the prescaler.
The UEV update event can be disabled by software by setting the UDIS bit in TIMx_CR1
register. This is to avoid updating the shadow registers while writing new values in the
preload registers. Then no update event occurs until the UDIS bit has been written to 0.
However, the counter continues counting up and down, based on the current auto-reload
value.
In addition, if the URS bit (update request selection) in TIMx_CR1 register is set, setting the
UG bit generates an update event UEV but without setting the UIF flag (thus no interrupt or

DMA request is sent). This is to avoid generating both update and capture interrupt 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
TIMx_SR register) is set (depending on the URS bit):
•

The buffer of the prescaler is reloaded with the preload value (content of the TIMx_PSC

•

frequencies.

Internal clock (CK_INT)

•

External clock mode1: external input pin (TIx)

•

External clock mode2: external trigger input (ETR)

•

Internal trigger inputs (ITRx): using one timer as prescaler for another timer. Refer to :
Using one timer as prescaler for another timer on page 330 for more details.

Internal clock source (CK_INT)
If the slave mode controller is disabled (SMS=000 in the TIMx_SMCR register), then the
CEN, DIR (in the TIMx_CR1 register) and UG bits (in the TIMx_EGR register) are actual
control bits and can be changed only by software (except UG which remains cleared
automatically). As soon as the CEN bit is written to 1, the prescaler is clocked by the internal
clock CK_INT.
Figure 73 shows the behavior of the control circuit and the upcounter in normal mode,
without prescaler.

For example, to configure the upcounter to count in response to a rising edge on the TI2
input, use the following procedure:

Note:

1.

Configure channel 2 to detect rising edges on the TI2 input by writing CC2S= ‘01 in the
TIMx_CCMR1 register.

2.

Configure the input filter duration by writing the IC2F[3:0] bits in the TIMx_CCMR1
register (if no filter is needed, keep IC2F=0000).

The capture prescaler is not used for triggering, so you don’t need to configure it.
3.

Select rising edge polarity by writing CC2P=0 and CC2NP=0 in the TIMx_CCER
register.

4.

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

5.

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

6.

Enable the counter by writing CEN=1 in the TIMx_CR1 register.

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

For example, to configure the upcounter to count each 2 rising edges on ETR, use the
following procedure:
1.

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

2.

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

3.

Select rising edge detection on the ETR pin by writing ETP=0 in the TIMx_SMCR

5.

Enable the counter by writing CEN=1 in the TIMx_CR1 register.

The counter counts once each 2 ETR rising edges.
The delay between the rising edge on ETR and the actual clock of the counter is due to the

Capture/compare channels
Each Capture/Compare channel is built around a capture/compare register (including a
shadow register), a input stage for capture (with digital filter, multiplexing and prescaler) and
an output stage (with comparator and output control).
The following figure gives an overview of one Capture/Compare channel.
The input stage samples the corresponding TIx input to generate a filtered signal TIxF.
Then, an edge detector with polarity selection generates a signal (TIxFPx) which can be
used as trigger input by the slave mode controller or as the capture command. It is
prescaled before the capture register (ICxPS).

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 actually done 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.

16.3.5

Input capture mode
In Input capture mode, the Capture/Compare Registers (TIMx_CCRx) are used to latch the
value of the counter after a transition detected by the corresponding ICx signal. When a
capture occurs, the corresponding CCXIF flag (TIMx_SR register) is set and an interrupt or
a DMA request can be sent if they are enabled. If a capture occurs while the CCxIF flag was
already high, then the over-capture flag CCxOF (TIMx_SR register) is set. CCxIF can be
cleared by software by writing it to 0 or by reading the captured data stored in the
TIMx_CCRx register. CCxOF is cleared when you write it to 0.
The following example shows how to capture the counter value in TIMx_CCR1 when TI1
input rises. To do this, use the following procedure:

314/904

1.

Select the active input: TIMx_CCR1 must be linked to the TI1 input, so write the CC1S
bits to 01 in the TIMx_CCMR1 register. As soon as CC1S becomes different from 00,
the channel is configured in input and the TIMx_CCR1 register becomes read-only.

2.

Program the input filter duration you need with respect to the signal you connect to the
timer (when the input is one of the TIx (ICxF bits in the TIMx_CCMRx register). Let’s
imagine that, when toggling, the input signal is not stable during at must 5 internal clock
cycles. We must program a filter duration longer than these 5 clock cycles. We can
validate a transition on TI1 when 8 consecutive samples with the new level have been

DocID022448 Rev 5

RM0313

General-purpose timers (TIM2 to TIM5, TIM19)
detected (sampled at fDTS frequency). Then write IC1F bits to 0011 in the
TIMx_CCMR1 register.
3.

Select the edge of the active transition on the TI1 channel by writing the CC1P and
CC1NP bits to 00 in the TIMx_CCER register (rising edge in this case).

4.

Program the input prescaler. In our example, we wish the capture to be performed at
each valid transition, so the prescaler is disabled (write IC1PS bits to 00 in the
TIMx_CCMR1 register).

5.

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

6.

If needed, enable the related interrupt request by setting the CC1IE bit in the
TIMx_DIER register, and/or the DMA request by setting the CC1DE bit in the
TIMx_DIER register.

When an input capture occurs:
•

The TIMx_CCR1 register gets the value of the counter on the active transition.

•

CC1IF flag is set (interrupt flag). CC1OF is also set if at least two consecutive captures
occurred whereas the flag was not cleared.

•

An interrupt is generated depending on the CC1IE bit.

•

A DMA request is generated depending on the CC1DE bit.

In order to handle the overcapture, it is recommended to read the data before the
overcapture flag. This is to avoid missing an overcapture which could happen after reading
the flag and before reading the data.
Note:

IC interrupt and/or DMA requests can be generated by software by setting the
corresponding CCxG bit in the TIMx_EGR register.

PWM input mode
This mode is a particular case of input capture mode. The procedure is the same except:
•

Two ICx signals are mapped on the same TIx input.

•

These 2 ICx signals are active on edges with opposite polarity.

•

One of the two TIxFP signals is selected as trigger input and the slave mode controller
is configured in reset mode.

For example, you can measure the period (in TIMx_CCR1 register) and the duty cycle (in
TIMx_CCR2 register) of the PWM applied on TI1 using the following procedure (depending
on CK_INT frequency and prescaler value):
1.

Select the active input for TIMx_CCR1: write the CC1S bits to 01 in the TIMx_CCMR1
register (TI1 selected).

2.

Select the active polarity for TI1FP1 (used both for capture in TIMx_CCR1 and counter
clear): write the CC1P to ‘0’ and the CC1NP bit to ‘0’ (active on rising edge).

3.

Select the active input for TIMx_CCR2: write the CC2S bits to 10 in the TIMx_CCMR1
register (TI1 selected).

4.

Select the active polarity for TI1FP2 (used for capture in TIMx_CCR2): write the CC2P
bit to ‘1’ and the CC2NP bit to ’0’(active on falling edge).

5.

Select the valid trigger input: write the TS bits to 101 in the TIMx_SMCR register
(TI1FP1 selected).

6.

Configure the slave mode controller in reset mode: write the SMS bits to 100 in the
TIMx_SMCR register.

7.

Enable the captures: write the CC1E and CC2E bits to ‘1 in the TIMx_CCER register.

Forced output mode
In output mode (CCxS bits = 00 in the TIMx_CCMRx register), each output compare signal
(OCxREF and then OCx) can be forced to active or inactive level directly by software,
independently of any comparison between the output compare register and the counter.
To force an output compare signal (OCxREF/OCx) to its active level, you just need to write
101 in the OCxM bits in the corresponding TIMx_CCMRx register. Thus OCxREF is forced
high (OCxREF is always active high) and OCx get opposite value to CCxP polarity bit.

316/904

DocID022448 Rev 5

RM0313

General-purpose timers (TIM2 to TIM5, TIM19)
e.g.: CCxP=0 (OCx active high) => OCx is forced to high level.
OCxREF signal can be forced low by writing the OCxM bits to 100 in the TIMx_CCMRx
register.
Anyway, the comparison between the TIMx_CCRx shadow register 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.

16.3.8

Output compare mode
This function is used to control an output waveform or indicating when a period of time has
elapsed.
When a match is found between the capture/compare register and the counter, the output
compare function:
•

Assigns the corresponding output pin to a programmable value defined by the output
compare mode (OCxM bits in the TIMx_CCMRx register) and the output polarity (CCxP
bit in the TIMx_CCER register). The output pin can keep its level (OCXM=000), be set
active (OCxM=001), be set inactive (OCxM=010) or can toggle (OCxM=011) on match.

•

Sets a flag in the interrupt status register (CCxIF bit in the TIMx_SR register).

•

Generates an interrupt if the corresponding interrupt mask is set (CCXIE bit in the
TIMx_DIER register).

•

Sends a DMA request if the corresponding enable bit is set (CCxDE bit in the
TIMx_DIER register, CCDS bit in the TIMx_CR2 register for the DMA request
selection).

The TIMx_CCRx registers can be programmed with or without preload registers using the
OCxPE bit in the TIMx_CCMRx register.
In output compare mode, the update event UEV has no effect on OCxREF and OCx output.
The timing resolution is one count of the counter. Output compare mode can also be used to
output a single pulse (in One-pulse mode).
Procedure:
1.

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

2.

Write the desired data in the TIMx_ARR and TIMx_CCRx registers.

3.

Set the CCxIE and/or CCxDE bits if an interrupt and/or a DMA request is to be
generated.

4.

Select the output mode. For example, you must write OCxM=011, OCxPE=0, CCxP=0
and CCxE=1 to toggle OCx output pin when CNT matches CCRx, CCRx preload is not
used, OCx is enabled and active high.

5.

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

The TIMx_CCRx register can be updated at any time by software to control the output
waveform, provided that the preload register is not enabled (OCxPE=0, else TIMx_CCRx
shadow register is updated only at the next update event UEV). An example is given in
Figure 82.

PWM mode
Pulse width modulation mode allows you to generate a signal with a frequency determined
by the value of the TIMx_ARR register and a duty cycle determined by the value of the
TIMx_CCRx register.
The PWM mode can be selected independently on each channel (one PWM per OCx
output) by writing 110 (PWM mode 1) or ‘111 (PWM mode 2) in the OCxM bits in the
TIMx_CCMRx register. You must enable the corresponding preload register by setting the
OCxPE bit in the TIMx_CCMRx register, and eventually the auto-reload preload register (in
upcounting or center-aligned modes) by setting the ARPE bit in the TIMx_CR1 register.
As the preload registers are transferred to the shadow registers only when an update event
occurs, before starting the counter, you have to initialize all the registers by setting the UG
bit in the TIMx_EGR register.
OCx polarity is software programmable using the CCxP bit in the TIMx_CCER register. It
can be programmed as active high or active low. OCx output is enabled by the CCxE bit in
the TIMx_CCER register. Refer to the TIMx_CCERx register description for more details.
In PWM mode (1 or 2), TIMx_CNT and TIMx_CCRx are always compared to determine
whether TIMx_CCRx ≤ TIMx_CNT or TIMx_CNT ≤ TIMx_CCRx (depending on the direction
of the counter). However, to comply with the OCREF_CLR functionality (OCREF can be
cleared by an external event through the ETR signal until the next PWM period), the
OCREF signal is asserted only:
•

When the result of the comparison changes, or

•

When the output compare mode (OCxM bits in TIMx_CCMRx register) switches from
the “frozen” configuration (no comparison, OCxM=‘000) to one of the PWM modes
(OCxM=‘110 or ‘111).

This forces the PWM by software while the timer is running.

General-purpose timers (TIM2 to TIM5, TIM19)
The timer is able to generate PWM in edge-aligned mode or center-aligned mode
depending on the CMS bits in the TIMx_CR1 register.

PWM edge-aligned mode
Upcounting configuration
Upcounting is active when the DIR bit in the TIMx_CR1 register is low. Refer to Section :
Upcounting mode on page 298.
In the following example, we consider PWM mode 1. The reference PWM signal OCxREF is
high as long as TIMx_CNT TIMx_CCRx
else it becomes high. If the compare value in TIMx_CCRx is greater than the auto-reload
value in TIMx_ARR, then OCxREF is held at ‘1. 0% PWM is not possible in this mode.

PWM center-aligned mode
Center-aligned mode is active when the CMS bits in TIMx_CR1 register are different from
‘00 (all the remaining configurations having the same effect on the OCxREF/OCx signals).

The compare flag is set when the counter counts up, when it counts down or both when it
counts up and down depending on the CMS bits configuration. The direction bit (DIR) in the
TIMx_CR1 register is updated by hardware and must not be changed by software. Refer to
Section : Center-aligned mode (up/down counting) on page 304.
Figure 84 shows some center-aligned PWM waveforms in an example where:
•

Hints on using center-aligned mode:
•

320/904

When starting in center-aligned mode, the current up-down configuration is used. It
means that the counter counts up or down depending on the value written in the DIR bit

DocID022448 Rev 5

RM0313

General-purpose timers (TIM2 to TIM5, TIM19)
in the TIMx_CR1 register. Moreover, the DIR and CMS bits must not be changed at the
same time by the software.
•

•

–

The direction is not updated if you write a value in the counter that is greater than
the auto-reload value (TIMx_CNT>TIMx_ARR). For example, if the counter was
counting up, it continues to count up.

–

The direction is updated if you write 0 or write the TIMx_ARR value in the counter
but no Update Event UEV is generated.

The safest way to use center-aligned mode is to generate an update by software
(setting the UG bit in the TIMx_EGR register) just before starting the counter and not to
write the counter while it is running.

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 slave mode controller. Generating the
waveform can be done in output compare mode or PWM mode. You select One-pulse mode
by setting the OPM bit in the TIMx_CR1 register. This makes the counter stop automatically
at the next update event 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 upcounting: CNTCCRx.

For example you may want 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.
Let’s use TI2FP2 as trigger 1:
1.

Map TI2FP2 on TI2 by writing CC2S=01 in the TIMx_CCMR1 register.

2.

TI2FP2 must detect a rising edge, write CC2P=0 and CC2NP=’0’ in the TIMx_CCER
register.

3.

Configure TI2FP2 as trigger for the slave mode controller (TRGI) by writing TS=110 in
the TIMx_SMCR register.

4.

TI2FP2 is used to start the counter by writing SMS to ‘110 in the TIMx_SMCR register
(trigger mode).

The OPM waveform is defined by writing the compare registers (taking into account the
clock frequency and the counter prescaler).
•

The tDELAY is defined by the value written in the TIMx_CCR1 register.

•

The tPULSE is defined by the difference between the auto-reload value and the compare
value (TIMx_ARR - TIMx_CCR1+1).

•

Let’s say you want 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. To do this you enable PWM mode 2 by writing OC1M=111 in the TIMx_CCMR1
register. You can optionally enable the preload registers by writing OC1PE=1 in the
TIMx_CCMR1 register and ARPE in the TIMx_CR1 register. In this case you have to
write the compare value in the TIMx_CCR1 register, the auto-reload value in the
TIMx_ARR register, generate an update by setting the UG bit and wait for external
trigger event on TI2. CC1P is written to ‘0 in this example.

In our example, the DIR and CMS bits in the TIMx_CR1 register should be low.
You only want 1 pulse (Single mode), so you write '1 in the OPM bit in the TIMx_CR1
register to stop the counter at the next update event (when the counter rolls over from the
auto-reload value back to 0). When OPM bit in the TIMx_CR1 register is set to '0', so the
Repetitive Mode is selected.

Particular case: OCx fast enable:
In One-pulse mode, the edge detection on TIx input set the CEN bit which enables the
counter. Then the comparison between the counter and the compare value makes the
output toggle. But several clock cycles are needed for these operations and it limits the
minimum delay tDELAY min we can get.
If you want to output a waveform with the minimum delay, you can set the OCxFE bit in the
TIMx_CCMRx register. Then OCxRef (and OCx) is forced in response to the stimulus,
without taking in account the comparison. Its new level is the same as if a compare match
had occurred. OCxFE acts only if the channel is configured in PWM1 or PWM2 mode.

Encoder interface mode
To select Encoder Interface mode write SMS=‘001 in the TIMx_SMCR register if the counter
is counting on TI2 edges only, SMS=010 if it is counting on TI1 edges only and SMS=011 if
it is counting on both TI1 and TI2 edges.
Select the TI1 and TI2 polarity by programming the CC1P and CC2P bits in the TIMx_CCER
register. CC1NP and CC2NP must be kept cleared. When needed, you can program the
input filter as well.
The two inputs TI1 and TI2 are used to interface to an incremental encoder. Refer to
Table 44. The counter is clocked by each valid transition on TI1FP1 or TI2FP2 (TI1 and TI2
after input filter and polarity selection, TI1FP1=TI1 if not filtered and not inverted,
TI2FP2=TI2 if not filtered and not inverted) assuming that it is enabled (CEN bit in
TIMx_CR1 register written to ‘1). The sequence of transitions of the two inputs is evaluated
and generates count pulses as well as the direction signal. Depending on the sequence the
counter counts up or down, the DIR bit in the TIMx_CR1 register is modified by hardware
accordingly. The DIR bit is calculated at each transition on any input (TI1 or TI2), whatever
the counter is counting on TI1 only, TI2 only or both TI1 and TI2.
Encoder interface mode acts simply as an external clock with direction selection. This
means that the counter just counts continuously between 0 and the auto-reload value in the
TIMx_ARR register (0 to ARR or ARR down to 0 depending on the direction). So you must

configure TIMx_ARR before starting. In the same way, the capture, compare, prescaler,
trigger output features continue to work as normal.
In this mode, the counter is modified automatically following the speed and the direction of
the incremental encoder and its content, therefore, always represents the encoder’s
position. The count direction correspond to the rotation direction of the connected sensor.
The table summarizes the possible combinations, assuming TI1 and TI2 don’t switch at the
same time.

An external incremental encoder can be connected directly to the MCU without external
interface logic. However, comparators are normally be used to convert the encoder’s
differential outputs to digital signals. This greatly increases noise immunity. The third
encoder output which indicate the mechanical zero position, may be connected to an
external interrupt input and trigger a counter reset.
Figure 87 gives an example of counter operation, showing count signal generation and
direction control. It also shows how input jitter is compensated where both edges are
selected. This might occur if the sensor is positioned near to one of the switching points. For
this example we assume that the configuration is the following:

The timer, when configured in Encoder Interface mode provides information on the sensor’s
current position. You can obtain dynamic information (speed, acceleration, deceleration) 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 times. You can do this by latching the counter value into a third input capture
register if available (then the capture signal must be periodic and can be generated by
another timer). when available, it is also possible to read its value through a DMA request
generated by a Real-Time clock.

16.3.13

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 a XOR gate, combining the three input pins TIMx_CH1 to TIMx_CH3.
The XOR output can be used with all the timer input functions such as trigger or input
capture.

Timers and external trigger synchronization
The TIMx Timers can be synchronized with an external trigger in several modes: Reset
mode, Gated mode and Trigger mode.

Slave mode: Reset mode
The counter and its prescaler can be reinitialized in response to an event on a trigger input.
Moreover, if the URS bit from the TIMx_CR1 register is low, an update event UEV is
generated. Then all the preloaded registers (TIMx_ARR, TIMx_CCRx) are updated.
In the following example, the upcounter is cleared in response to a rising edge on TI1 input:
•

Configure the channel 1 to detect rising edges on TI1. Configure the input filter duration
(in this example, we don’t need any filter, so we keep IC1F=0000). The capture
prescaler is not used for triggering, so you don’t need to configure it. The CC1S bits
select the input capture source only, CC1S = 01 in the TIMx_CCMR1 register. Write
CC1P=0 and CC1NP=0 in TIMx_CCER register to validate the polarity (and detect
rising edges only).

•

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

•

Start the counter by writing CEN=1 in the TIMx_CR1 register.

The counter starts counting on the internal clock, then behaves normally until 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 TIMx_SR register) and an interrupt request, or a DMA
request can be sent if enabled (depending on the TIE and TDE bits in TIMx_DIER register).
The following figure shows this behavior when the auto-reload register TIMx_ARR=0x36.
The delay between the rising edge on TI1 and the actual reset of the counter is due to the
resynchronization circuit on TI1 input.

General-purpose timers (TIM2 to TIM5, TIM19)

Slave mode: Gated mode
The counter can be enabled depending on the level of a selected input.
In the following example, the upcounter counts only when TI1 input is low:
1.

Configure the channel 1 to detect low levels on TI1. Configure the input filter duration
(in this example, we don’t need any filter, so we keep IC1F=0000). The capture
prescaler is not used for triggering, so you don’t need to configure it. The CC1S bits

2.

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

3.

Enable the counter by writing CEN=1 in the TIMx_CR1 register (in gated mode, the
counter doesn’t start if CEN=0, whatever is the trigger input level).

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

Slave mode: External Clock mode 2 + trigger mode
The external clock mode 2 can be used in addition to another slave mode (except external
clock mode 1 and encoder mode). In this case, the ETR signal is used as external clock
input, and another input can be selected as trigger input when operating in reset mode,
gated mode or trigger mode. It is recommended not to select ETR as TRGI through the TS
bits of TIMx_SMCR register.
In the following example, the upcounter is incremented at each rising edge of the ETR
signal as soon as a rising edge of TI1 occurs:

3.

Configure the external trigger input circuit by programming the TIMx_SMCR register as
follows:
–

ETF = 0000: no filter

–

ETPS=00: prescaler disabled

–

ETP=0: detection of rising edges on ETR and ECE=1 to enable the external clock
mode 2.

Configure the channel 1 as follows, to detect rising edges on TI:
–

IC1F=0000: no filter.

–

The capture prescaler is not used for triggering and does not need to be
configured.

–

CC1S=01in TIMx_CCMR1 register to select only the input capture source

–

CC1P=0 and CC1NP=0 in TIMx_CCER register to validate the polarity (and detect
rising edge only).

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

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

Timer synchronization
The TIMx timers are linked together internally for timer synchronization or chaining. When
one Timer is configured in Master Mode, it can reset, start, stop or clock the counter of
another Timer configured in Slave Mode.
Figure 93: Master/Slave timer example presents an overview of the trigger selection and the
master mode selection blocks.

Note:

The clock of the slave timer must be enabled prior to receive events from the master timer,
and must not be changed on-the-fly while triggers are received from the master timer.

For example, you can configure Timer x to act as a prescaler for Timer y. Refer to Figure 93.
To do this, follow the sequence below:

Note:

1.

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

2.

To connect the TRGO1 output of Timer x to Timer y, Timer y must be configured in
slave mode using ITR1 as internal trigger. You select this through the TS bits in the
TIMy_SMCR register (writing TS=000).

3.

Then you put the slave mode controller in external clock mode 1 (write SMS=111 in the
TIMy_SMCR register). This causes Timer y to be clocked by the rising edge of the
periodic Timer x trigger signal (which correspond to the timer x counter overflow).

4.

Finally both timers must be enabled by setting their respective CEN bits (TIMx_CR1
register).

If OCx is selected on Timer x as trigger output (MMS=1xx), its rising edge is used to clock
the counter of timer y.

Using one timer to enable another timer
In this example, we control the enable of Timer y with the output compare 1 of Timer x.
Refer to Figure 93 for connections. Timer y counts on the divided internal clock only when
OC1REF of Timer x is high. Both counter clock frequencies are divided by 3 by the
prescaler compared to CK_INT (fCK_CNT = fCK_INT/3).

In the example in Figure 94, the Timer y counter and prescaler are not initialized before
being started. So they start counting from their current value. It is possible to start from a
given value by resetting both timers before starting Timer x. You can then write any value
you want in the timer counters. The timers can easily be reset by software using the UG bit
in the TIMx_EGR registers.
In the next example, we synchronize Timer x and Timer y. Timer x is the master and starts
from 0. Timer y is the slave and starts from 0xE7. The prescaler ratio is the same for both
timers. Timer y stops when Timer x is disabled by writing ‘0 to the CEN bit in the TIMy_CR1
register:
1.

Configure Timer x master mode to send its Output Compare 1 Reference (OC1REF)
signal as trigger output (MMS=100 in the TIMx_CR2 register).

Starting 2 timers synchronously in response to an external trigger
In this example, we set the enable of timer x when its TI1 input rises, and the enable of
Timer y with the enable of Timer x. Refer to Figure 93 for connections. To ensure the
counters are aligned, Timer x must be configured in Master/Slave mode (slave with respect
to TI1, master with respect to Timer y):
1.

Configure Timer x master mode to send its Enable as trigger output (MMS=001 in the
TIMx_CR2 register).

2.

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

3.

Configure Timer x in trigger mode (SMS=110 in the TIMx_SMCR register).

4.

Configure the Timer x in Master/Slave mode by writing MSM=1 (TIMx_SMCR register).

5.

Configure Timer y to get the input trigger from Timer x (TS=000 in the TIM2_SMCR
register).

6.

Configure Timer y in trigger mode (SMS=110 in the TIM2_SMCR register).

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

In this example both timers are initialized before starting (by setting their respective UG
bits). Both counters starts from 0, but you can easily insert an offset between them by
writing any of the counter registers (TIMx_CNT). You can see that the master/slave mode
insert a delay between CNT_EN and CK_PSC on timer x.

General-purpose timers (TIM2 to TIM5, TIM19)

Bit 2 URS: Update request source
This bit is set and cleared by software to select the UEV event sources.
0: Any of the following events generate an update interrupt or DMA request if enabled.
These events can be:
–
Counter overflow/underflow
–
Setting the UG bit
–
Update generation through the slave mode controller
1: Only counter overflow/underflow generates an update interrupt or DMA request if
enabled.
Bit 1 UDIS: Update disable
This bit is set and cleared by software to enable/disable UEV event generation.
0: UEV enabled. The Update (UEV) event is generated by one of the following events:
–
Counter overflow/underflow
–
Setting the UG bit
–
Update generation through the slave mode controller
Buffered registers are then loaded with their preload values.
1: UEV disabled. The Update event is not generated, shadow registers keep their value
(ARR, PSC, CCRx). However the counter and the prescaler are reinitialized if the UG bit is
set or if a hardware reset is received from the slave mode controller.
Bit 0 CEN: Counter enable
0: Counter disabled
1: Counter enabled
Note: External clock, gated mode and encoder mode can work only if the CEN bit has been
previously set by software. However trigger mode can set the CEN bit automatically by
hardware.
CEN is cleared automatically in one-pulse mode, when an update event occurs.

Bit 7 TI1S: TI1 selection
0: The TIMx_CH1 pin is connected to TI1 input
1: The TIMx_CH1, CH2 and CH3 pins are connected to the TI1 input (XOR combination)
Bits 6:4 MMS: Master mode selection
These bits allow 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 TIMx_EGR register is used as trigger output (TRGO). If the
reset is generated by the trigger input (slave mode controller configured in reset mode) then
the signal on TRGO is delayed compared to the actual reset.
001: Enable - the Counter enable signal, CNT_EN, is used as trigger output (TRGO). It is
useful 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 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).
010: Update - The update event is selected as trigger output (TRGO). For instance a master
timer can then be used as a prescaler for a slave timer.
011: Compare Pulse - The trigger output send 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 occurred.
(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)
Note: The clock of the slave timer or ADC must be enabled prior to receiving events from the
master timer, and must not be changed on-the-fly while triggers are received from the
master timer.
Bit 3 CCDS: Capture/compare DMA selection
0: CCx DMA request sent when CCx event occurs
1: CCx DMA requests sent when update event occurs

Bit 15 ETP: External trigger polarity
This bit selects whether ETR or ETR is used for trigger operations
0: ETR is noninverted, active at high level or rising edge
1: ETR is inverted, active at low level or falling edge
Bit 14 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.
1: Setting the ECE bit has the same effect as selecting external clock mode 1 with TRGI
connected to ETRF (SMS=111 and TS=111).
2: It is possible to simultaneously use external clock mode 2 with the following slave modes:
reset mode, gated mode and trigger mode. Nevertheless, TRGI must not be connected to
ETRF in this case (TS bits must not be 111).
3: If external clock mode 1 and external clock mode 2 are enabled at the same time, the
external clock input is ETRF.
Bits 13:12 ETPS: External trigger prescaler
External trigger signal ETRP frequency must be at most 1/4 of CK_INT 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
10: ETRP frequency divided by 4
11: ETRP frequency divided by 8
Bits 11:8 ETF[3:0]: External trigger filter
This bit-field then defines the frequency used to sample ETRP signal and the length of the
digital filter applied to ETRP. The digital filter is made of an event counter in which N
consecutive events are needed to validate a transition on the output:
0000: No filter, sampling is done at fDTS
0001: fSAMPLING=fCK_INT, N=2

Bit 7 MSM: Master/Slave mode
0: No action
1: The effect of an event on the trigger input (TRGI) is delayed to allow a perfect
synchronization between the current timer and its slaves (through TRGO). It is useful if we
want to synchronize several timers on a single external event.
Bits 6:4 TS: Trigger selection
This bit-field selects the trigger input to be used to synchronize the counter.
000: Internal Trigger 0 (ITR0).
001: Internal Trigger 1 (ITR1).
010: Internal Trigger 2 (ITR2).
011: Internal Trigger 3 (ITR3).
100: TI1 Edge Detector (TI1F_ED)
101: Filtered Timer Input 1 (TI1FP1)
110: Filtered Timer Input 2 (TI2FP2)
111: External Trigger input (ETRF)
See Table 45: TIMx internal trigger connection on page 341 for more details on ITRx
meaning for each Timer.
Note: These bits must be changed only when they are not used (e.g. when SMS=000) to
avoid wrong edge detections at the transition.
Bit 3 Reserved, must be kept at ‘1’.
Bits 2:0 SMS: 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: Slave mode disabled - if CEN = ‘1 then the prescaler is clocked directly by the internal
clock.
001: Encoder mode 1 - Counter counts up/down on TI2FP1 edge depending on TI1FP2
level.
010: Encoder mode 2 - Counter counts up/down on TI1FP2 edge depending on TI2FP1
level.
011: Encoder mode 3 - Counter counts up/down on both TI1FP1 and TI2FP2 edges
depending on the level of the other input.
100: Reset Mode - Rising edge of the selected trigger input (TRGI) reinitializes the counter
and generates an update of the registers.
101: Gated Mode - The counter clock is enabled when the trigger input (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 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: The gated mode must not be used if TI1F_ED is selected as the trigger input (TS=100).
Indeed, TI1F_ED outputs 1 pulse for each transition on TI1F, whereas the gated mode
checks the level of the trigger signal.
The clock of the slave timer must be enabled prior to receiving events from the master
timer, and must not be changed on-the-fly while triggers are received from the master
timer."

TIMx capture/compare mode register 1 (TIMx_CCMR1)
Address offset: 0x18
Reset value: 0x0000
The channels can be used in input (capture mode) or in output (compare mode). The
direction of a channel is defined by configuring the corresponding CCxS bits. All the other
bits of this register have a different function in input and in output mode. For a given bit,
OCxx describes its function when the channel is configured in output, ICxx describes its
function when the channel is configured in input. So you must take care that the same bit
can have a different meaning for the input stage and for the output stage.

Bits 6:4 OC1M: Output compare 1 mode
These bits define the behavior of the output reference signal OC1REF from which OC1 and
OC1N are derived. OC1REF is active high whereas OC1 and OC1N active level depends
on CC1P and CC1NP bits.
000: Frozen - The comparison between the output compare register TIMx_CCR1 and the
counter TIMx_CNT has no effect on the outputs.(this mode is used to generate a timing
base).
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 upcounting, channel 1 is active as long as TIMx_CNTTIMx_CCR1 else active (OC1REF=1).
111: PWM mode 2 - In upcounting, channel 1 is inactive as long as TIMx_CNTTIMx_CCR1 else
inactive.
Note: In PWM mode 1 or 2, the OCREF level changes only when the result of the
comparison changes or when the output compare mode switches from “frozen” mode
to “PWM” mode.
Note: These bits can not be modified as long as LOCK level 3 has been programmed (LOCK
bits in TIMx_BDTR register) and CC1S=00 (the channel is configured in output).
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 in account immediately.
1: Preload register on TIMx_CCR1 enabled. Read/Write operations access the preload
register. TIMx_CCR1 preload value is loaded in the active register at each update event.
Note: The PWM mode can be used without validating the preload register only in one-pulse
mode (OPM bit set in TIMx_CR1 register). Else the behavior is not guaranteed.
Note: These bits can not be modified as long as LOCK level 3 has been programmed (LOCK
bits in TIMx_BDTR register) and CC1S=00 (the channel is configured in output).
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. 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: Capture/Compare 1 selection
This bit-field 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 TI1.
10: CC1 channel is configured as input, IC1 is mapped on TI2.
11: CC1 channel is configured as input, IC1 is mapped on TRC. This mode is working only if
an internal trigger input is selected through TS bit (TIMx_SMCR register)
Note: CC1S bits are writable only when the channel is OFF (CC1E = 0 in TIMx_CCER).

General-purpose timers (TIM2 to TIM5, TIM19)

Example of how to use the DMA burst feature
In this example the timer DMA burst feature is used to update the contents of the CCRx
registers (x = 2, 3, 4) with the DMA transferring half words into the CCRx registers.
This is done in the following steps:
1.

Note:

Configure the corresponding DMA channel as follows:
–

DMA channel peripheral address is the DMAR register address

–

DMA channel memory address is the address of the buffer in the RAM containing
the data to be transferred by DMA into CCRx registers.

–

Number of data to transfer = 3 (See note below).

–

Circular mode disabled.

2.

Configure the DCR register by configuring the DBA and DBL bit fields as follows:
DBL = 3 transfers, DBA = 0xE.

3.

Enable the TIMx update DMA request (set the UDE bit in the DIER register).

4.

Enable TIMx

5.

Enable the DMA channel

This example is for the case where every CCRx register to be updated once. If every CCRx
register is to be updated twice for example, the number of data to transfer should be 6. Let's
take the example of a buffer in the RAM containing data1, data2, data3, data4, data5 and
data6. The data is transferred to the CCRx registers as follows: on the first update DMA
request, data1 is transferred to CCR2, data2 is transferred to CCR3, data3 is transferred to
CCR4 and on the second update DMA request, data4 is transferred to CCR2, data5 is
transferred to CCR3 and data6 is transferred to CCR4.

General-purpose timers (TIM12/13/14)

17.1

TIM12/13/14 introduction
The TIM12/13/14 general-purpose timers consist of a 16-bit auto-reload counter driven by a
programmable prescaler.
They may be used for a variety of purposes, including measuring the pulse lengths of input
signals (input capture) or generating output waveforms (output compare, PWM).
Pulse lengths and waveform periods can be modulated from a few microseconds to several
milliseconds using the timer prescaler and the RCC clock controller prescalers.
The TIM12/13/14 timers are completely independent, and do not share any resources. They
can be synchronized together as described in Section 17.4.12.

17.2

General-purpose timers (TIM12/13/14)

17.4

TIM12/13/14 functional description

17.4.1

Time-base unit
The main block of the timer is a 16-bit counter with its related auto-reload register. The
counters counts up. The counter clock can be divided by a prescaler.
The counter, the auto-reload register and the prescaler register can be written or read by
software. This is true even when the counter is running.
The time-base unit includes:
•

Counter register (TIMx_CNT)

•

Prescaler register (TIMx_PSC)

•

Auto-reload register (TIMx_ARR)

The auto-reload register is preloaded. Writing to or reading from the auto-reload register
accesses the preload register. The content of the preload register are transferred into the
shadow register permanently or at each update event (UEV), depending on the auto-reload
preload enable bit (ARPE) in TIMx_CR1 register. The update event is sent when the counter
reaches the overflow and if the UDIS bit equals 0 in the TIMx_CR1 register. It can also be
generated by software. The generation of the update event is described in detailed for each
configuration.
The counter is clocked by the prescaler output CK_CNT, which is enabled only when the
counter enable bit (CEN) in TIMx_CR1 register is set (refer also to the slave mode controller
description to get more details on counter enabling).
Note that the counter starts counting 1 clock cycle after setting the CEN bit in the TIMx_CR1
register.

Prescaler description
The prescaler can divide the counter clock frequency by any factor between 1 and 65536. It
is based on a 16-bit counter controlled through a 16-bit register (in the TIMx_PSC register).
It can be changed on the fly as this control register is buffered. The new prescaler ratio is
taken into account at the next update event.
Figure 102 and Figure 103 give some examples of the counter behavior when the prescaler
ratio is changed on the fly.

17.4.2

General-purpose timers (TIM12/13/14)

Counter modes
Upcounting mode
In upcounting mode, the counter counts from 0 to the auto-reload value (content of the
TIMx_ARR register), then restarts from 0 and generates a counter overflow event.
Setting the UG bit in the TIMx_EGR register (by software or by using the slave mode
controller on TIM12) also generates an update event.
The UEV event can be disabled by software by setting the UDIS bit in the TIMx_CR1
register. This is to avoid updating the shadow registers while writing new values in the
preload registers. Then no update event occurs until the UDIS bit has been written to 0.
However, the counter restarts from 0, as well as the counter of the prescaler (but the
prescale rate does not change). In addition, if the URS bit (update request selection) in
TIMx_CR1 register is set, setting the UG bit generates an update event UEV but without
setting the UIF flag (thus no interrupt is sent). This is to avoid 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
TIMx_SR register) is set (depending on the URS bit):
•

The auto-reload shadow register is updated with the preload value (TIMx_ARR),

•

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

The following figures show some examples of the counter behavior for different clock
frequencies when TIMx_ARR=0x36.

Clock selection
The counter clock can be provided by the following clock sources:
•

Internal clock (CK_INT)

•

External clock mode1 (for TIM12): external input pin (TIx)

•

Internal trigger inputs (ITRx) (for TIM12): connecting the trigger output from another
timer. Refer to Section : Using one timer as prescaler for another timer for more details.

Internal clock source (CK_INT)
The internal clock source is the default clock source for TIM13/TIM14.
For TIM12, the internal clock source is selected when the slave mode controller is disabled
(SMS=’000’). The CEN bit in the TIMx_CR1 register and the UG bit in the TIMx_EGR
register are then used as control bits and can be changed only by software (except for UG
which remains cleared). As soon as the CEN bit is programmed to 1, the prescaler is
clocked by the internal clock CK_INT.
Figure 109 shows the behavior of the control circuit and the upcounter in normal mode,
without prescaler.

1.

Configure channel 2 to detect rising edges on the TI2 input by writing CC2S = ‘01’ in
the TIMx_CCMR1 register.

2.

Configure the input filter duration by writing the IC2F[3:0] bits in the TIMx_CCMR1
register (if no filter is needed, keep IC2F=’0000’).

3.

Select the rising edge polarity by writing CC2P=’0’ and CC2NP=’0’ in the TIMx_CCER
register.

4.

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

5.

Select TI2 as the trigger input source by writing TS=’110’ in the TIMx_SMCR register.

6.

Enable the counter by writing CEN=’1’ in the TIMx_CR1 register.

The capture prescaler is not used for triggering, so you don’t need to configure it.
When a rising edge occurs on TI2, the counter counts once and the TIF flag is set.
The delay between the rising edge on TI2 and the actual clock of the counter is due to the
resynchronization circuit on TI2 input.

Capture/compare channels
Each Capture/Compare channel is built around a capture/compare register (including a
shadow register), a input stage for capture (with digital filter, multiplexing and prescaler) and
an output stage (with comparator and output control).
Figure 112 to Figure 114 give an overview of one capture/compare channel.
The input stage samples the corresponding TIx input to generate a filtered signal TIxF.
Then, an edge detector with polarity selection generates a signal (TIxFPx) which can be
used as trigger input by the slave mode controller or as the capture command. It is
prescaled before the capture register (ICxPS).

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 actually done 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.

17.4.5

Input capture mode
In Input capture mode, the Capture/Compare Registers (TIMx_CCRx) are used to latch the
value of the counter after a transition detected by the corresponding ICx signal. When a
capture occurs, the corresponding CCXIF flag (TIMx_SR register) is set and an interrupt or
a DMA request can be sent if they are enabled. If a capture occurs while the CCxIF flag was
already high, then the over-capture flag CCxOF (TIMx_SR register) is set. CCxIF can be
cleared by software by writing it to ‘0’ or by reading the captured data stored in the
TIMx_CCRx register. CCxOF is cleared when you write it to ‘0’.
The following example shows how to capture the counter value in TIMx_CCR1 when TI1
input rises. To do this, use the following procedure:

370/904

1.

Select the active input: TIMx_CCR1 must be linked to the TI1 input, so write the CC1S
bits to ‘01’ in the TIMx_CCMR1 register. As soon as CC1S becomes different from ‘00’,
the channel is configured in input mode and the TIMx_CCR1 register becomes readonly.

2.

Program the input filter duration you need with respect to the signal you connect to the
timer (when the input is one of the TIx (ICxF bits in the TIMx_CCMRx register). Let’s
imagine that, when toggling, the input signal is not stable during at must 5 internal clock
cycles. We must program a filter duration longer than these 5 clock cycles. We can
validate a transition on TI1 when 8 consecutive samples with the new level have been

DocID022448 Rev 5

RM0313

General-purpose timers (TIM12/13/14)
detected (sampled at fDTS frequency). Then write IC1F bits to ‘0011’ in the
TIMx_CCMR1 register.
3.

Select the edge of the active transition on the TI1 channel by programming CC1P and
CC1NP bits to ‘00’ in the TIMx_CCER register (rising edge in this case).

4.

Program the input prescaler. In our example, we wish the capture to be performed at
each valid transition, so the prescaler is disabled (write IC1PS bits to ‘00’ in the
TIMx_CCMR1 register).

5.

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

6.

If needed, enable the related interrupt request by setting the CC1IE bit in the
TIMx_DIER register.

When an input capture occurs:
•

The TIMx_CCR1 register gets the value of the counter on the active transition.

•

CC1IF flag is set (interrupt flag). CC1OF is also set if at least two consecutive captures
occurred whereas the flag was not cleared.

•

An interrupt is generated depending on the CC1IE bit.

In order to handle the overcapture, it is recommended to read the data before the
overcapture flag. This is to avoid missing an overcapture which could happen after reading
the flag and before reading the data.
Note:

IC interrupt requests can be generated by software by setting the corresponding CCxG bit in
the TIMx_EGR register.

17.4.6

PWM input mode (only for TIM12)
This mode is a particular case of input capture mode. The procedure is the same except:
•

Two ICx signals are mapped on the same TIx input.

•

These 2 ICx signals are active on edges with opposite polarity.

•

One of the two TIxFP signals is selected as trigger input and the slave mode controller
is configured in reset mode.

For example, you can measure the period (in TIMx_CCR1 register) and the duty cycle (in
TIMx_CCR2 register) of the PWM applied on TI1 using the following procedure (depending
on CK_INT frequency and prescaler value):
1.

Select the active input for TIMx_CCR1: write the CC1S bits to ‘01’ in the TIMx_CCMR1
register (TI1 selected).

2.

Select the active polarity for TI1FP1 (used both for capture in TIMx_CCR1 and counter
clear): program the CC1P and CC1NP bits to ‘00’ (active on rising edge).

3.

Select the active input for TIMx_CCR2: write the CC2S bits to ‘10’ in the TIMx_CCMR1
register (TI1 selected).

4.

Select the active polarity for TI1FP2 (used for capture in TIMx_CCR2): program the
CC2P and CC2NP bits to ‘11’ (active on falling edge).

5.

Select the valid trigger input: write the TS bits to ‘101’ in the TIMx_SMCR register
(TI1FP1 selected).

6.

Configure the slave mode controller in reset mode: write the SMS bits to ‘100’ in the
TIMx_SMCR register.

7.

Enable the captures: write the CC1E and CC2E bits to ‘1’ in the TIMx_CCER register.

1. The PWM input mode can be used only with the TIMx_CH1/TIMx_CH2 signals due to the fact that only
TI1FP1 and TI2FP2 are connected to the slave mode controller.

17.4.7

Forced output mode
In output mode (CCxS bits = ‘00’ in the TIMx_CCMRx register), each output compare signal
(OCxREF and then OCx) can be forced to active or inactive level directly by software,
independently of any comparison between the output compare register and the counter.
To force an output compare signal (OCXREF/OCx) to its active level, you just need to write
‘101’ in the OCxM bits in the corresponding TIMx_CCMRx register. Thus OCXREF is forced
high (OCxREF is always active high) and OCx get opposite value to CCxP polarity bit.
For example: CCxP=’0’ (OCx active high) => OCx is forced to high level.
The OCxREF signal can be forced low by writing the OCxM bits to ‘100’ in the
TIMx_CCMRx register.
Anyway, the comparison between the TIMx_CCRx shadow register and the counter is still
performed and allows the flag to be set. Interrupt requests can be sent accordingly. This is
described in the output compare mode section below.

17.4.8

Output compare mode
This function is used to control an output waveform or indicating when a period of time has
elapsed.
When a match is found between the capture/compare register and the counter, the output
compare function:

372/904

1.

Assigns the corresponding output pin to a programmable value defined by the output
compare mode (OCxM bits in the TIMx_CCMRx register) and the output polarity (CCxP
bit in the TIMx_CCER register). The output pin can keep its level (OCXM=’000’), be set
active (OCxM=’001’), be set inactive (OCxM=’010’) or can toggle (OCxM=’011’) on
match.

2.

Sets a flag in the interrupt status register (CCxIF bit in the TIMx_SR register).

3.

Generates an interrupt if the corresponding interrupt mask is set (CCXIE bit in the
TIMx_DIER register).

DocID022448 Rev 5

RM0313

General-purpose timers (TIM12/13/14)
The TIMx_CCRx registers can be programmed with or without preload registers using the
OCxPE bit in the TIMx_CCMRx register.
In output compare mode, the update event UEV has no effect on OCxREF and OCx output.
The timing resolution is one count of the counter. Output compare mode can also be used to
output a single pulse (in One-pulse mode).
Procedure:
1.

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

2.

Write the desired data in the TIMx_ARR and TIMx_CCRx registers.

3.

Set the CCxIE bit if an interrupt request is to be generated.

4.

Select the output mode. For example:

5.

–

Write OCxM = ‘011’ to toggle OCx output pin when CNT matches CCRx

–

Write OCxPE = ‘0’ to disable preload register

–

Write CCxP = ‘0’ to select active high polarity

–

Write CCxE = ‘1’ to enable the output

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

The TIMx_CCRx register can be updated at any time by software to control the output
waveform, provided that the preload register is not enabled (OCxPE=’0’, else TIMx_CCRx
shadow register is updated only at the next update event UEV). An example is given in
Figure 116.

PWM mode
Pulse Width Modulation mode allows you to generate a signal with a frequency determined
by the value of the TIMx_ARR register and a duty cycle determined by the value of the
TIMx_CCRx register.

General-purpose timers (TIM12/13/14)

RM0313

The PWM mode can be selected independently on each channel (one PWM per OCx
output) by writing ‘110’ (PWM mode 1) or ‘111’ (PWM mode 2) in the OCxM bits in the
TIMx_CCMRx register. You must enable the corresponding preload register by setting the
OCxPE bit in the TIMx_CCMRx register, and eventually the auto-reload preload register (in
upcounting or center-aligned modes) by setting the ARPE bit in the TIMx_CR1 register.
As the preload registers are transferred to the shadow registers only when an update event
occurs, before starting the counter, you have to initialize all the registers by setting the UG
bit in the TIMx_EGR register.
The OCx polarity is software programmable using the CCxP bit in the TIMx_CCER register.
It can be programmed as active high or active low. The OCx output is enabled by the CCxE
bit in the TIMx_CCER register. Refer to the TIMx_CCERx register description for more
details.
In PWM mode (1 or 2), TIMx_CNT and TIMx_CCRx are always compared to determine
whether TIMx_CNT ≤ TIMx_CCRx.
The timer is able to generate PWM in edge-aligned mode only since the counter is
upcounting.

PWM edge-aligned mode
In the following example, we consider PWM mode 1. The reference PWM signal OCxREF is
high as long as TIMx_CNT < TIMx_CCRx else it becomes low. If the compare value in
TIMx_CCRx is greater than the auto-reload value (in TIMx_ARR) then OCxREF is held at
‘1’. If the compare value is 0 then OCxRef is held at ‘0’. Figure 117 shows some edgealigned PWM waveforms in an example where TIMx_ARR=8.

One-pulse mode (only for TIM12)
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 slave mode controller. Generating the
waveform can be done in output compare mode or PWM mode. You select One-pulse mode
by setting the OPM bit in the TIMx_CR1 register. This makes the counter stop automatically
at the next update event 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 as follows:
CNT < CCRx ≤ ARR (in particular, 0 < CCRx)

For example you may want 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.
Use TI2FP2 as trigger 1:
1.

Map TI2FP2 to TI2 by writing CC2S=’01’ in the TIMx_CCMR1 register.

2.

TI2FP2 must detect a rising edge, write CC2P=’0’ and CC2NP = ‘0’ in the TIMx_CCER
register.

3.

Configure TI2FP2 as trigger for the slave mode controller (TRGI) by writing TS=’110’ in
the TIMx_SMCR register.

4.

TI2FP2 is used to start the counter by writing SMS to ‘110’ in the TIMx_SMCR register
(trigger mode).

The OPM waveform is defined by writing the compare registers (taking into account the
clock frequency and the counter prescaler).
•

The tDELAY is defined by the value written in the TIMx_CCR1 register.

•

The tPULSE is defined by the difference between the auto-reload value and the compare
value (TIMx_ARR - TIMx_CCR1).

•

Let’s say you want 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. To do this you enable PWM mode 2 by writing OC1M=’111’ in the TIMx_CCMR1
register. You can optionally enable the preload registers by writing OC1PE=’1’ in the
TIMx_CCMR1 register and ARPE in the TIMx_CR1 register. In this case you have to
write the compare value in the TIMx_CCR1 register, the auto-reload value in the
TIMx_ARR register, generate an update by setting the UG bit and wait for external
trigger event on TI2. CC1P is written to ‘0’ in this example.

You only want 1 pulse (Single mode), so you write '1 in the OPM bit in the TIMx_CR1
register to stop the counter at the next update event (when the counter rolls over from the
auto-reload value back to 0). When OPM bit in the TIMx_CR1 register is set to '0', so the
Repetitive Mode is selected.
Particular case: OCx fast enable
In One-pulse mode, the edge detection on TIx input set the CEN bit which enables the
counter. Then the comparison between the counter and the compare value makes the
output toggle. But several clock cycles are needed for these operations and it limits the
minimum delay tDELAY min we can get.
If you want to output a waveform with the minimum delay, you can set the OCxFE bit in the
TIMx_CCMRx register. Then OCxRef (and OCx) are forced in response to the stimulus,
without taking in account the comparison. Its new level is the same as if a compare match
had occurred. OCxFE acts only if the channel is configured in PWM1 or PWM2 mode.

17.4.11

TIM12 external trigger synchronization
The TIM12 timer can be synchronized with an external trigger in several modes: Reset
mode, Gated mode and Trigger mode.

Slave mode: Reset mode
The counter and its prescaler can be reinitialized in response to an event on a trigger input.
Moreover, if the URS bit from the TIMx_CR1 register is low, an update event UEV is
generated. Then all the preloaded registers (TIMx_ARR, TIMx_CCRx) are updated.
In the following example, the upcounter is cleared in response to a rising edge on TI1 input:

376/904

1.

Configure the channel 1 to detect rising edges on TI1. Configure the input filter duration
(in this example, we don’t need any filter, so we keep IC1F=’0000’). The capture
prescaler is not used for triggering, so you don’t need to configure it. The CC1S bits
select the input capture source only, CC1S = ‘01’ in the TIMx_CCMR1 register.
Program CC1P and CC1NP to ‘00’ in TIMx_CCER register to validate the polarity (and
detect rising edges only).

2.

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

3.

Start the counter by writing CEN=’1’ in the TIMx_CR1 register.

General-purpose timers (TIM12/13/14)
The counter starts counting on the internal clock, then behaves normally until 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 TIMx_SR register) and an interrupt request can be sent if
enabled (depending on the TIE bit in TIMx_DIER register).
The following figure shows this behavior when the auto-reload register TIMx_ARR=0x36.
The delay between the rising edge on TI1 and the actual reset of the counter is due to the

The counter can be enabled depending on the level of a selected input.
In the following example, the upcounter counts only when TI1 input is low:
1.

Configure the channel 1 to detect low levels on TI1. Configure the input filter duration
(in this example, we don’t need any filter, so we keep IC1F=’0000’). The capture
prescaler is not used for triggering, so you don’t need to configure it. The CC1S bits
select the input capture source only, CC1S=’01’ in TIMx_CCMR1 register. Program
CC1P=’1’ and CC1NP= ‘0’ in TIMx_CCER register to validate the polarity (and detect
low level only).

2.

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

3.

Enable the counter by writing CEN=’1’ in the TIMx_CR1 register (in gated mode, the
counter doesn’t start if CEN=’0’, whatever is the trigger input level).

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

Section 16.3.15: Timer synchronization on page 330 for details.

17.4.13

Debug mode
When the microcontroller enters debug mode (Cortex®-M4 with FPU core halted), the TIMx
counter either continues to work normally or stops, depending on DBG_TIMx_STOP
configuration bit in DBG module. For more details, refer to Section 31.16.2: Debug support
for timers, watchdog, bxCAN and I2C.

TIM12 registers
Refer to Section 1.1 on page 36 for a list of abbreviations used in register descriptions.
The peripheral registers have to be written by half-words (16 bits) or words (32 bits). Read
accesses can be done by bytes (8 bits), half-words (16 bits) or words (32 bits).

011: Reserved
100: Reset mode - Rising edge of the selected trigger input (TRGI) reinitializes the counter
and generates an update of the registers
101: Gated mode - The counter clock is enabled when the trigger input (TRGI) is high. The
counter stops (but is not reset) as soon as the trigger becomes low. Counter starts and stops
are both controlled
110: Trigger mode - The counter starts on 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: The Gated mode must not be used if TI1F_ED is selected as the trigger input
(TS=’100’). Indeed, TI1F_ED outputs 1 pulse for each transition on TI1F, whereas the
Gated mode checks the level of the trigger signal.

TIM12 capture/compare mode register 1 (TIMx_CCMR1)
Address offset: 0x18
Reset value: 0x0000
The channels can be used in input (capture mode) or in output (compare mode). The
direction of a channel is defined by configuring the corresponding CCxS bits. All the other
bits in this register have different functions in input and output modes. For a given bit, OCxx
describes its function when the channel is configured in output mode, ICxx describes its
function when the channel is configured in input mode. So you must take care that the same
bit can have different meanings for the input stage and the output stage.

General-purpose timers (TIM12/13/14)

Bits 6:4 OC1M: Output compare 1 mode
These bits define the behavior of the output reference signal OC1REF from which OC1 and
OC1N are derived. OC1REF is active high whereas the active levels of OC1 and OC1N
depend on the CC1P and CC1NP bits, respectively.
000: Frozen - The comparison between the output compare register TIMx_CCR1 and the
counter TIMx_CNT has no effect on the outputs.(this mode is used to generate a timing
base).
001: Set channel 1 to active level on match. The OC1REF signal is forced high when the
TIMx_CNT counter matches the capture/compare register 1 (TIMx_CCR1).
010: Set channel 1 to inactive level on match. The OC1REF signal is forced low when the
TIMx_CNT counter 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 upcounting, channel 1 is active as long as TIMx_CNTTIMx_CCR1, else it is active (OC1REF=’1’)
111: PWM mode 2 - In upcounting, channel 1 is inactive as long as TIMx_CNTTIMx_CCR1
else it is inactive.
Note: In PWM mode 1 or 2, the OCREF 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 into the active register at each update event
Note: The PWM mode can be used without validating the preload register only in one-pulse
mode (OPM bit set in the TIMx_CR1 register). Else the behavior is not guaranteed.
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 the 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. Then,
OC is set to the compare level independently of the result of the comparison. Delay to
sample the trigger input and to activate CC1 output is reduced to 3 clock cycles. OC1FE
acts only if the channel is configured in PWM1 or PWM2 mode.
Bits 1:0 CC1S: 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 TI1
10: CC1 channel is configured as input, IC1 is mapped on TI2
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 (TIMx_SMCR register)
Note: The CC1S bits are writable only when the channel is OFF (CC1E = 0 in TIMx_CCER).

Bits 7:4 IC1F: Input capture 1 filter
This bitfield defines the frequency used to sample the TI1 input and the length of the digital
filter applied to TI1. The digital filter is made of an event counter in which N events are
needed to validate a transition on the output:
0000: No filter, sampling is done at fDTS1000: fSAMPLING=fDTS/8, N=6
0001: fSAMPLING=fCK_INT, N=21001: fSAMPLING=fDTS/8, N=8

0111: fSAMPLING=fDTS/4, N=81111: fSAMPLING=fDTS/32, N=8
Note: In the current silicon revision, fDTS is replaced in the formula by CK_INT when
ICxF[3:0]= 1, 2 or 3.
Bits 3:2 IC1PSC: Input capture 1 prescaler
This bitfield defines the ratio of the prescaler acting on the 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

Bits 15:0 CCR1[15:0]: Capture/Compare 1 value
If channel CC1 is configured as output:
CCR1 is the value to be loaded into the actual capture/compare 1 register (preload value).
It is loaded permanently if the preload feature is not selected in the TIMx_CCMR1 register
(OC1PE bit). Else the preload value is copied into the active capture/compare 1 register
when an update event occurs.
The active capture/compare register contains the value to be compared to the TIMx_CNT
counter and signaled on the OC1 output.

TIM13/14 capture/compare mode register 1
(TIMx_CCMR1)
Address offset: 0x18
Reset value: 0x0000
The channels can be used in input (capture mode) or in output (compare mode). The
direction of a channel is defined by configuring the corresponding CCxS bits. All the other
bits of this register have a different function in input and in output mode. For a given bit,
OCxx describes its function when the channel is configured in output, ICxx describes its
function when the channel is configured in input. So you must take care that the same bit
can have a different meaning for the input stage and for the output stage.

Output compare mode
Bits 15:7

Reserved, must be kept at reset value.

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 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 - Channel 1 is active as long as TIMx_CNT < TIMx_CCR1 else inactive.
111: PWM mode 2 - Channel 1 is inactive as long as TIMx_CNT < TIMx_CCR1 else active.
Note: In PWM mode 1 or 2, the OCREF level changes when the result of the comparison
changes or when the output compare mode switches from frozen 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 in account immediately.
1: Preload register on TIMx_CCR1 enabled. Read/Write operations access the preload
register. TIMx_CCR1 preload value is loaded in the active register at each update event.
Note: The PWM mode can be used without validating the preload register only in one pulse
mode (OPM bit set in TIMx_CR1 register). Else the behavior is not guaranteed.
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. OC is then
set to the compare level independently of the result of the comparison. Delay to sample the
trigger input and to activate CC1 output is reduced to 3 clock cycles. OC1FE acts only if the
channel is configured in PWM1 or PWM2 mode.
Bits 1:0 CC1S: Capture/Compare 1 selection
This bit-field 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 TI1.

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
Bits 1:0 CC1S: Capture/Compare 1 selection
This bit-field 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 TI1
10: CC1 channel is configured as input, IC1 is mapped on TI2
11: CC1 channel is configured as input, IC1 is mapped on TRC. This mode is working only if
an internal trigger input is selected through TS bit (TIMx_SMCR register)
Note: CC1S bits are writable only when the channel is OFF (CC1E = 0 in TIMx_CCER).

General-purpose timers (TIM15/16/17)

18.1

TIM15/16/17 introduction
The TIM15/16/17 timers consist of a 16-bit auto-reload counter driven by a programmable
prescaler.
They may be used for a variety of purposes, including measuring the pulse lengths of input
signals (input capture) or generating output waveforms (output compare, PWM,
complementary PWM with dead-time insertion).
Pulse lengths and waveform periods can be modulated from a few microseconds to several
milliseconds using the timer prescaler and the RCC clock controller prescalers.
The TIM15/16/17 timers are completely independent, and do not share any resources. The
TIM15 can be synchronized with other timers.

18.2

TIM15 main features
TIM15 includes the following features:
•

16-bit auto-reload upcounter

•

16-bit programmable prescaler used to divide (also “on the fly”) the counter clock
frequency by any factor between 1 and 65535

•

Up to 2 independent channels for:
–

Input capture

–

Output compare

–

PWM generation (edge mode)

–

One-pulse mode output

•

Complementary outputs with programmable dead-time (for channel 1 only)

•

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

•

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

•

Break input to put the timer’s output signals in the reset state or a known state

•

Interrupt/DMA generation on the following events:
–

Update: counter overflow, counter initialization (by software or internal/external
trigger)

–

Input capture

–

Output compare

–

Break input (interrupt request)

TIM15/16/17 functional description

18.4.1

Time-base unit
The main block of the programmable advanced-control timer is a 16-bit counter with its
related auto-reload register. The counter can count up, down or both up and down. The
counter clock can be divided by a prescaler.
The counter, the auto-reload register and the prescaler register can be written or read by
software. This is true even when the counter is running.
The time-base unit includes:
•

Counter register (TIMx_CNT)

•

Prescaler register (TIMx_PSC)

•

Auto-reload register (TIMx_ARR)

•

Repetition counter register (TIMx_RCR)

The auto-reload register is preloaded. Writing to or reading from the auto-reload register
accesses the preload register. The content of the preload register are transferred into the
shadow register permanently or at each update event (UEV), depending on the auto-reload
preload enable bit (ARPE) in TIMx_CR1 register. The update event is sent when the counter
reaches the overflow (or underflow when downcounting) and if the UDIS bit equals 0 in the
TIMx_CR1 register. It can also be generated by software. The generation of the update
event is described in detailed for each configuration.
The counter is clocked by the prescaler output CK_CNT, which is enabled only when the
counter enable bit (CEN) in TIMx_CR1 register is set (refer also to the slave mode controller
description to get more details on counter enabling).
Note that the counter starts counting 1 clock cycle after setting the CEN bit in the TIMx_CR1
register.

Prescaler description
The prescaler can divide the counter clock frequency by any factor between 1 and 65536. It
is based on a 16-bit counter controlled through a 16-bit register (in the TIMx_PSC register).
It can be changed on the fly as this control register is buffered. The new prescaler ratio is
taken into account at the next update event.
Figure 102 and Figure 103 give some examples of the counter behavior when the prescaler
ratio is changed on the fly:

General-purpose timers (TIM15/16/17)

Counter modes
Upcounting mode
In upcounting mode, the counter counts from 0 to the auto-reload value (content of the
TIMx_ARR register), then restarts from 0 and generates a counter overflow event.
If the repetition counter is used, the update event (UEV) is generated after upcounting is
repeated for the number of times programmed in the repetition counter register
(TIMx_RCR). Else the update event is generated at each counter overflow.
Setting the UG bit in the TIMx_EGR register (by software or by using the slave mode
controller) also generates an update event.
The UEV event can be disabled by software by setting the UDIS bit in the TIMx_CR1
register. This is to avoid updating the shadow registers while writing new values in the
preload registers. Then no update event occurs until the UDIS bit has been written to 0.
However, the counter restarts from 0, as well as the counter of the prescaler (but the
prescale rate does not change). In addition, if the URS bit (update request selection) in
TIMx_CR1 register is set, setting the UG bit generates an update event UEV but without
setting the UIF flag (thus no interrupt or DMA request is sent). This is to avoid 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
TIMx_SR register) is set (depending on the URS bit):
•

The repetition counter is reloaded with the content of TIMx_RCR register,

•

The auto-reload shadow register is updated with the preload value (TIMx_ARR),

•

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

The following figures show some examples of the counter behavior for different clock
frequencies when TIMx_ARR=0x36.

General-purpose timers (TIM15/16/17)

Repetition counter
Section 17.4.1: Time-base unit describes how the update event (UEV) is generated with
respect to the counter overflows/underflows. It is actually generated only when the repetition
counter has reached zero. This can be useful when generating PWM signals.
This means that data are transferred from the preload registers to the shadow registers
(TIMx_ARR auto-reload register, TIMx_PSC prescaler register, but also TIMx_CCRx
capture/compare registers in compare mode) every N counter overflows or underflows,
where N is the value in the TIMx_RCR repetition counter register.
The repetition counter is decremented at each counter overflow in upcounting mode.
The repetition counter is an auto-reload type; the repetition rate is maintained as defined by
the TIMx_RCR register value (refer to Figure 132). When the update event is generated by
software (by setting the UG bit in TIMx_EGR register) or by hardware through the slave
mode controller, it occurs immediately whatever the value of the repetition counter is and the
repetition counter is reloaded with the content of the TIMx_RCR register.

Clock selection
The counter clock can be provided by the following clock sources:
•

Internal clock (CK_INT)

•

External clock mode1: external input pin (only for TIM15)

•

Internal trigger inputs (ITRx) (only for TIM15): using one timer as the prescaler for
another timer, for example, you can configure TIM2 to act as a prescaler for TIM15.
Refer to Using one timer as prescaler for another timer for more details.

Internal clock source (CK_INT)
For TIM15, if the slave mode controller is disabled (SMS=000), then the CEN, DIR (in the
TIMx_CR1 register) and UG bits (in the TIMx_EGR register) are actual control bits and can
be changed only by software (except UG which remains cleared automatically). As soon as
the CEN bit is written to 1, the prescaler is clocked by the internal clock CK_INT.

1.

Configure channel 2 to detect rising edges on the TI2 input by writing CC2S = ‘01’ in
the TIMx_CCMR1 register.

2.

Configure the input filter duration by writing the IC2F[3:0] bits in the TIMx_CCMR1
register (if no filter is needed, keep IC2F=0000).

3.

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

4.

Configure the timer in external clock mode 1 by writing SMS=111 in the TIMx_SMCR

5.

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

6.

Enable the counter by writing CEN=1 in the TIMx_CR1 register.

The capture prescaler is not used for triggering, so you don’t need to configure it.
When a rising edge occurs on TI2, the counter counts once and the TIF flag is set.
The delay between the rising edge on TI2 and the actual clock of the counter is due to the
resynchronization circuit on TI2 input.

Capture/compare channels
Each Capture/Compare channel is built around a capture/compare register (including a
shadow register), a input stage for capture (with digital filter, multiplexing and prescaler) and
an output stage (with comparator and output control).
Figure 112 to Figure 139 give an overview of one Capture/Compare channel.
The input stage samples the corresponding TIx input to generate a filtered signal TIxF.
Then, an edge detector with polarity selection generates a signal (TIxFPx) which can be
used as trigger input by the slave mode controller or as the capture command. It is
prescaled before the capture register (ICxPS).

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 actually done 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.

18.4.6

General-purpose timers (TIM15/16/17)

Input capture mode
In Input capture mode, the Capture/Compare Registers (TIMx_CCRx) are used to latch the
value of the counter after a transition detected by the corresponding ICx signal. When a
capture occurs, the corresponding CCXIF flag (TIMx_SR register) is set and an interrupt or
a DMA request can be sent if they are enabled. If a capture occurs while the CCxIF flag was
already high, then the over-capture flag CCxOF (TIMx_SR register) is set. CCxIF can be
cleared by software by writing it to ‘0’ or by reading the captured data stored in the
TIMx_CCRx register. CCxOF is cleared when you write it to ‘0’.
The following example shows how to capture the counter value in TIMx_CCR1 when TI1
input rises. To do this, use the following procedure:
1.

Select the active input: TIMx_CCR1 must be linked to the TI1 input, so write the CC1S
bits to 01 in the TIMx_CCMR1 register. As soon as CC1S becomes different from 00,
the channel is configured in input and the TIMx_CCR1 register becomes read-only.

2.

Program the input filter duration you need with respect to the signal you connect to the
timer (when the input is one of the TIx (ICxF bits in the TIMx_CCMRx register). Let’s
imagine that, when toggling, the input signal is not stable during at must 5 internal clock
cycles. We must program a filter duration longer than these 5 clock cycles. We can
validate a transition on TI1 when 8 consecutive samples with the new level have been
detected (sampled at fDTS frequency). Then write IC1F bits to 0011 in the
TIMx_CCMR1 register.

3.

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

4.

Program the input prescaler. In our example, we wish the capture to be performed at
each valid transition, so the prescaler is disabled (write IC1PS bits to ‘00’ in the
TIMx_CCMR1 register).

5.

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

6.

If needed, enable the related interrupt request by setting the CC1IE bit in the
TIMx_DIER register, and/or the DMA request by setting the CC1DE bit in the
TIMx_DIER register.

When an input capture occurs:
•

The TIMx_CCR1 register gets the value of the counter on the active transition.

•

CC1IF flag is set (interrupt flag). CC1OF is also set if at least two consecutive captures
occurred whereas the flag was not cleared.

•

An interrupt is generated depending on the CC1IE bit.

•

A DMA request is generated depending on the CC1DE bit.

In order to handle the overcapture, it is recommended to read the data before the
overcapture flag. This is to avoid missing an overcapture which could happen after reading
the flag and before reading the data.
Note:

IC interrupt and/or DMA requests can be generated by software by setting the
corresponding CCxG bit in the TIMx_EGR register.

PWM input mode (only for TIM15)
This mode is a particular case of input capture mode. The procedure is the same except:
•

Two ICx signals are mapped on the same TIx input.

•

These 2 ICx signals are active on edges with opposite polarity.

•

One of the two TIxFP signals is selected as trigger input and the slave mode controller
is configured in reset mode.

For example, you can measure the period (in TIMx_CCR1 register) and the duty cycle (in
TIMx_CCR2 register) of the PWM applied on TI1 using the following procedure (depending
on CK_INT frequency and prescaler value):
1.

Select the active input for TIMx_CCR1: write the CC1S bits to 01 in the TIMx_CCMR1
register (TI1 selected).

2.

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

3.

Select the active input for TIMx_CCR2: write the CC2S bits to 10 in the TIMx_CCMR1
register (TI1 selected).

4.

Select the active polarity for TI1FP2 (used for capture in TIMx_CCR2): write the CC2P
bit to ‘1’ (active on falling edge).

5.

Select the valid trigger input: write the TS bits to 101 in the TIMx_SMCR register
(TI1FP1 selected).

6.

Configure the slave mode controller in reset mode: write the SMS bits to 100 in the
TIMx_SMCR register.

7.

Enable the captures: write the CC1E and CC2E bits to ‘1’ in the TIMx_CCER register.

1. The PWM input mode can be used only with the TIMx_CH1/TIMx_CH2 signals due to the fact that only
TI1FP1 and TI2FP2 are connected to the slave mode controller.

18.4.8

Forced output mode
In output mode (CCxS bits = 00 in the TIMx_CCMRx register), each output compare signal
(OCxREF and then OCx/OCxN) can be forced to active or inactive level directly by software,
independently of any comparison between the output compare register and the counter.

422/904

DocID022448 Rev 5

RM0313

General-purpose timers (TIM15/16/17)
To force an output compare signal (OCXREF/OCx) to its active level, you just need to write
101 in the OCxM bits in the corresponding TIMx_CCMRx register. Thus OCXREF is forced
high (OCxREF is always active high) and OCx get opposite value to CCxP polarity bit.
For example: CCxP=0 (OCx active high) => OCx is forced to high level.
The OCxREF signal can be forced low by writing the OCxM bits to 100 in the TIMx_CCMRx
register.
Anyway, the comparison between the TIMx_CCRx shadow register 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.

18.4.9

Output compare mode
This function is used to control an output waveform or indicating when a period of time has
elapsed.
When a match is found between the capture/compare register and the counter, the output
compare function:
1.

Assigns the corresponding output pin to a programmable value defined by the output
compare mode (OCxM bits in the TIMx_CCMRx register) and the output polarity (CCxP
bit in the TIMx_CCER register). The output pin can keep its level (OCXM=000), be set
active (OCxM=001), be set inactive (OCxM=010) or can toggle (OCxM=011) on match.

2.

Sets a flag in the interrupt status register (CCxIF bit in the TIMx_SR register).

3.

Generates an interrupt if the corresponding interrupt mask is set (CCXIE bit in the
TIMx_DIER register).

4.

Sends a DMA request if the corresponding enable bit is set (CCxDE bit in the
TIMx_DIER register, CCDS bit in the TIMx_CR2 register for the DMA request
selection).

The TIMx_CCRx registers can be programmed with or without preload registers using the
OCxPE bit in the TIMx_CCMRx register.
In output compare mode, the update event UEV has no effect on OCxREF and OCx output.
The timing resolution is one count of the counter. Output compare mode can also be used to
output a single pulse (in One-pulse mode).
Procedure:
1.

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

2.

Write the desired data in the TIMx_ARR and TIMx_CCRx registers.

3.

Set the CCxIE bit if an interrupt request is to be generated.

4.

5.

Select the output mode. For example:
–

Write OCxM = 011 to toggle OCx output pin when CNT matches CCRx

–

Write OCxPE = 0 to disable preload register

–

Write CCxP = 0 to select active high polarity

–

Write CCxE = 1 to enable the output

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

The TIMx_CCRx register can be updated at any time by software to control the output
waveform, provided that the preload register is not enabled (OCxPE=’0’, else TIMx_CCRx
shadow register is updated only at the next update event UEV). An example is given in
Figure 116.

PWM mode
Pulse Width Modulation mode allows you to generate a signal with a frequency determined
by the value of the TIMx_ARR register and a duty cycle determined by the value of the
TIMx_CCRx register.
The PWM mode can be selected independently on each channel (one PWM per OCx
output) by writing ‘110’ (PWM mode 1) or ‘111’ (PWM mode 2) in the OCxM bits in the
TIMx_CCMRx register. You must enable the corresponding preload register by setting the
OCxPE bit in the TIMx_CCMRx register, and eventually the auto-reload preload register (in
upcounting or center-aligned modes) by setting the ARPE bit in the TIMx_CR1 register.
As the preload registers are transferred to the shadow registers only when an update event
occurs, before starting the counter, you have to initialize all the registers by setting the UG
bit in the TIMx_EGR register.
OCx polarity is software programmable using the CCxP bit in the TIMx_CCER register. It
can be programmed as active high or active low. OCx output is enabled by a combination of
the CCxE, CCxNE, MOE, OSSI and OSSR bits (TIMx_CCER and TIMx_BDTR registers).
Refer to the TIMx_CCER register description for more details.
In PWM mode (1 or 2), TIMx_CNT and TIMx_CCRx are always compared to determine
whether TIMx_CCRx ≤ TIMx_CNT or TIMx_CNT ≤ TIMx_CCRx (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 TIMx_CR1 register.

In the following example, we consider PWM mode 1. The reference PWM signal

This time is generally known as dead-time and you have to adjust it depending on the
devices you have connected to the outputs and their characteristics (intrinsic delays of levelshifters, delays due to power switches...)
You can select the polarity of the outputs (main output OCx or complementary OCxN)
independently for each output. This is done by writing to the CCxP and CCxNP bits in the
TIMx_CCER register.
The complementary signals OCx and OCxN are activated by a combination of several
control bits: the CCxE and CCxNE bits in the TIMx_CCER register and the MOE, OISx,
OISxN, OSSI and OSSR bits in the TIMx_BDTR and TIMx_CR2 registers. Refer to
Table 54: Output control bits for complementary OCx and OCxN channels with break feature
on page 449 for more details. In particular, the dead-time is activated when switching to the
IDLE state (MOE falling down to 0).
Dead-time insertion is enabled by setting both CCxE and CCxNE bits, and the MOE bit if the
break circuit is present. There is one 10-bit dead-time generator for each channel. From a
reference waveform OCxREF, it generates 2 outputs OCx and OCxN. If OCx and OCxN are
active high:
•

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

•

The OCxN 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 (OCx or OCxN) then the
corresponding pulse is not generated.
The following figures show the relationships between the output signals of the dead-time
generator and the reference signal OCxREF. (we suppose CCxP=0, CCxNP=0, MOE=1,
CCxE=1 and CCxNE=1 in these examples)

The dead-time delay is the same for each of the channels and is programmable with the
DTG bits in the TIMx_BDTR register. Refer to Section 18.5.15: TIM15 break and dead-time
register (TIM15_BDTR) on page 452 for delay calculation.

Re-directing OCxREF to OCx or OCxN
In output mode (forced, output compare or PWM), OCxREF can be re-directed to the OCx
output or to OCxN output by configuring the CCxE and CCxNE bits in the TIMx_CCER
register.
This allows you to send a specific waveform (such as PWM or static active level) on one
output while the complementary remains at its inactive level. Other alternative possibilities
are to have both outputs at inactive level or both outputs active and complementary with
dead-time.
Note:

When only OCxN is enabled (CCxE=0, CCxNE=1), it is not complemented and becomes
active as soon as OCxREF is high. For example, if CCxNP=0 then OCxN=OCxRef. On the
other hand, when both OCx and OCxN are enabled (CCxE=CCxNE=1) OCx becomes
active when OCxREF is high whereas OCxN is complemented and becomes active when
OCxREF is low.

Using the break function
When using the break function, the output enable signals and inactive levels are modified
according to additional control bits (MOE, OSSI and OSSR bits in the TIMx_BDTR register,
OISx and OISxN bits in the TIMx_CR2 register). In any case, the OCx and OCxN outputs
cannot be set both to active level at a given time. Refer to Table 54: Output control bits for
complementary OCx and OCxN channels with break feature on page 449 for more details.
The break source can be either the break input pin or a clock failure event, generated by the
Clock Security System (CSS), from the Reset Clock Controller. For further information on
the Clock Security System, refer to Section 7.2.7: Clock security system (CSS).
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_BDTR 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. When the BKE and BKP bits are written, a delay of 1 APB
clock cycle is applied before the writing is effective. Consequently, it is necessary to wait 1
APB clock period to correctly read back the bit after the write operation.
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 TIMx_BDTR register). It results in some delays between the asynchronous
and the synchronous signals. In particular, if you write MOE to 1 whereas it was low, you
must insert a delay (dummy instruction) before reading it correctly. This is because you write
the asynchronous signal and read the synchronous signal.
When a break occurs (selected level on the break input):

428/904

•

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

•

Each output channel is driven with the level programmed in the OISx bit in the
TIMx_CR2 register as soon as MOE=0. If OSSI=0 then the timer releases the enable
output else the enable output remains high.

•

When complementary outputs are used:
–

The outputs are first put in reset state 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, then the dead-time generator is reactivated in
order to drive the outputs with the level programmed in the OISx and OISxN bits
after a dead-time. Even in this case, OCx and OCxN cannot be driven to their
active level together. Note that because of the resynchronization on MOE, the
dead-time duration is a bit longer than usual (around 2 ck_tim clock cycles).

–

If OSSI=0 then the timer releases the enable outputs else the enable outputs
remain or become high as soon as one of the CCxE or CCxNE bits is high.

•

The break status flag (BIF bit in the TIMx_SR register) is set. An interrupt can be
generated if the BIE bit in the TIMx_DIER register is set. A DMA request can be sent if
the BDE bit in the TIMx_DIER register is set.

•

If the AOE bit in the TIMx_BDTR register is set, the MOE bit is automatically set again
at the next update event UEV. This can be used to perform a regulation, for instance.
Else, MOE remains low until you write it to ‘1’ again. In this case, it can be used for
security and you can connect the break input to an alarm from power drivers, thermal
sensors or any security components.

DocID022448 Rev 5

RM0313
Note:

General-purpose timers (TIM15/16/17)
The break inputs is acting on level. Thus, the MOE 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 BRK input which has a programmable polarity and an
enable bit BKE in the TIMx_BDTR Register.
In addition to the break input and the output management, a write protection has been
implemented inside the break circuit to safeguard the application. It allows you to freeze the
configuration of several parameters (dead-time duration, OCx/OCxN polarities and state
when disabled, OCxM configurations, break enable and polarity). You can choose from 3
levels of protection selected by the LOCK bits in the TIMx_BDTR register. Refer to
Section 18.5.15: TIM15 break and dead-time register (TIM15_BDTR) on page 452. The
LOCK bits can be written only once after an MCU reset.
The Figure 146 shows an example of behavior of the outputs in response to a break.

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 slave mode controller. Generating the
waveform can be done in output compare mode or PWM mode. You select One-pulse mode
by setting the OPM bit in the TIMx_CR1 register. This makes the counter stop automatically
at the next update event 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 upcounting: CNT < CCRx ≤ ARR (in particular, 0 < CCRx)

•

In downcounting: CNT > CCRx

For example you may want 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.
Let’s use TI2FP2 as trigger 1:
1.

Map TI2FP2 to TI2 by writing CC2S=’01’ in the TIMx_CCMR1 register.

2.

TI2FP2 must detect a rising edge, write CC2P=’0’ in the TIMx_CCER register.

3.

Configure TI2FP2 as trigger for the slave mode controller (TRGI) by writing TS=’110’ in
the TIMx_SMCR register.

4.

TI2FP2 is used to start the counter by writing SMS to ‘110’ in the TIMx_SMCR register
(trigger mode).

The OPM waveform is defined by writing the compare registers (taking into account the
clock frequency and the counter prescaler).
•

The tDELAY is defined by the value written in the TIMx_CCR1 register.

•

The tPULSE is defined by the difference between the auto-reload value and the compare
value (TIMx_ARR - TIMx_CCR1).

•

Let’s say you want 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. To do this you enable PWM mode 2 by writing OC1M=111 in the TIMx_CCMR1
register. You can optionally enable the preload registers by writing OC1PE=’1’ in the
TIMx_CCMR1 register and ARPE in the TIMx_CR1 register. In this case you have to
write the compare value in the TIMx_CCR1 register, the auto-reload value in the
TIMx_ARR register, generate an update by setting the UG bit and wait for external
trigger event on TI2. CC1P is written to ‘0’ in this example.

In our example, the DIR and CMS bits in the TIMx_CR1 register should be low.
You only want 1 pulse, so you write ‘1’ in the OPM bit in the TIMx_CR1 register to stop the
counter at the next update event (when the counter rolls over from the auto-reload value
back to 0).
Particular case: OCx fast enable
In One-pulse mode, the edge detection on TIx input set the CEN bit which enables the
counter. Then the comparison between the counter and the compare value makes the
output toggle. But several clock cycles are needed for these operations and it limits the
minimum delay tDELAY min we can get.
If you want to output a waveform with the minimum delay, you can set the OCxFE bit in the
TIMx_CCMRx register. Then OCxRef (and OCx) are forced in response to the stimulus,
without taking in account the comparison. Its new level is the same as if a compare match
had occurred. OCxFE acts only if the channel is configured in PWM1 or PWM2 mode.

TIM15 and external trigger synchronization (only for TIM15)
The TIM15 timer can be synchronized with an external trigger in several modes: Reset
mode, Gated mode and Trigger mode.

Slave mode: Reset mode
The counter and its prescaler can be reinitialized in response to an event on a trigger input.
Moreover, if the URS bit from the TIMx_CR1 register is low, an update event UEV is
generated. Then all the preloaded registers (TIMx_ARR, TIMx_CCRx) are updated.
In the following example, the upcounter is cleared in response to a rising edge on TI1 input:
1.

Configure the channel 1 to detect rising edges on TI1. Configure the input filter duration
(in this example, we don’t need any filter, so we keep IC1F=0000). The capture
prescaler is not used for triggering, so you don’t need to configure it. The CC1S bits
select the input capture source only, CC1S = 01 in the TIMx_CCMR1 register. Write
CC1P=0 in TIMx_CCER register to validate the polarity (and detect rising edges only).

2.

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

3.

Start the counter by writing CEN=1 in the TIMx_CR1 register.

The counter starts counting on the internal clock, then behaves normally until 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 TIMx_SR register) and an interrupt request, or a DMA
request can be sent if enabled (depending on the TIE and TDE bits in TIMx_DIER register).
The following figure shows this behavior when the auto-reload register TIMx_ARR=0x36.
The delay between the rising edge on TI1 and the actual reset of the counter is due to the
resynchronization circuit on TI1 input.

Slave mode: Gated mode
The counter can be enabled depending on the level of a selected input.
In the following example, the upcounter counts only when TI1 input is low:
1.

Configure the channel 1 to detect low levels on TI1. Configure the input filter duration
(in this example, we don’t need any filter, so we keep IC1F=0000). The capture
prescaler is not used for triggering, so you don’t need to configure it. The CC1S bits
select the input capture source only, CC1S=01 in TIMx_CCMR1 register. Write
CC1P=1 in TIMx_CCER register to validate the polarity (and detect low level only).

2.

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

3.

Enable the counter by writing CEN=1 in the TIMx_CR1 register (in gated mode, the
counter doesn’t start if CEN=0, whatever is the trigger input level).

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

These bits allow to select the information to be sent in master mode to slave timers for

000: Reset - the UG bit from the TIMx_EGR register is used as trigger output (TRGO). If the
reset is generated by the trigger input (slave mode controller configured in reset mode) then
the signal on TRGO is delayed compared to the actual reset.
001: Enable - the Counter Enable signal CNT_EN is used as trigger output (TRGO). It is
useful to start several timers at the same time or to control a window in which a slave timer is
enable. The Counter Enable signal is generated by a logic OR between 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).
010: Update - The update event is selected as trigger output (TRGO). For instance a master
timer can then be used as a prescaler for a slave timer.
011: Compare Pulse - The trigger output send a positive pulse when the CC1IF flag is to be

1: The effect of an event on the trigger input (TRGI) is delayed to allow a perfect
synchronization between the current timer and its slaves (through TRGO). It is useful if we
want to synchronize several timers on a single external event.
Bits 6:4 TS[2:0]: Trigger selection
This bitfield selects the trigger input to be used to synchronize the counter.
000: Internal Trigger 0 (ITR0)
001: Internal Trigger 1 (ITR1)
010: Internal Trigger 2 (ITR2)
011: Internal Trigger 3 (ITR3)

See Table 53: TIMx Internal trigger connection on page 440 for more details on ITRx
meaning for each Timer.
Note: These bits must be changed only when they are not used (e.g. when SMS=000) to
avoid wrong edge detections at the transition.
Bit 3

Reserved, must be kept at reset value.

Bits 2:0 SMS: 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: Slave mode disabled - if CEN = ‘1’ then the prescaler is clocked directly by the internal
clock.
001: Encoder mode 1 - Counter counts up/down on TI2FP2 edge depending on TI1FP1
level.
010: Encoder mode 2 - Counter counts up/down on TI1FP1 edge depending on TI2FP2
level.
011: Encoder mode 3 - Counter counts up/down on both TI1FP1 and TI2FP2 edges
depending on the level of the other input.
100: Reset Mode - Rising edge of the selected trigger input (TRGI) reinitializes the counter
and generates an update of the registers.
101: Gated Mode - The counter clock is enabled when the trigger input (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 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: The gated mode must not be used if TI1F_ED is selected as the trigger input
(TS=’100’). Indeed, TI1F_ED outputs 1 pulse for each transition on TI1F, whereas the
gated mode checks the level of the trigger signal.

TIM15 capture/compare mode register 1 (TIM15_CCMR1)
Address offset: 0x18
Reset value: 0x0000
The channels can be used in input (capture mode) or in output (compare mode). The
direction of a channel is defined by configuring the corresponding CCxS bits. All the other
bits of this register have a different function in input and in output mode. For a given bit,
OCxx describes its function when the channel is configured in output, ICxx describes its
function when the channel is configured in input. So you must take care that the same bit
can have a different meaning for the input stage and for the output stage.

Bit 10 OC2FE: Output Compare 2 fast enable
Bits 9:8 CC2S[1:0]: Capture/Compare 2 selection
This bit-field defines the direction of the channel (input/output) as well as the used input.
00: CC2 channel is configured as output.
01: CC2 channel is configured as input, IC2 is mapped on TI2.
10: CC2 channel is configured as input, IC2 is mapped on TI1.
11: CC2 channel is configured as input, IC2 is mapped on TRC. This mode is working only if
an internal trigger input is selected through the TS bit (TIMx_SMCR register)
Note: CC2S bits are writable only when the channel is OFF (CC2E = ‘0’ in TIMx_CCER).
Bit 7

Reserved, must be kept at reset value.

Bits 6:4 OC1M: Output Compare 1 mode
These bits define the behavior of the output reference signal OC1REF from which OC1 and
OC1N are derived. OC1REF is active high whereas OC1 and OC1N active level depends
on CC1P and CC1NP bits.
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 upcounting, channel 1 is active as long as TIMx_CNTTIMx_CCR1 else active (OC1REF=’1’).
111: PWM mode 2 - In upcounting, channel 1 is inactive as long as TIMx_CNTTIMx_CCR1 else
inactive.
Note: 1: These bits can not be modified as long as LOCK level 3 has been programmed
(LOCK bits in TIMx_BDTR register) and CC1S=’00’ (the channel is configured in
output).
2: In PWM mode 1 or 2, the OCREF 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 in account immediately.
1: Preload register on TIMx_CCR1 enabled. Read/Write operations access the preload
register. TIMx_CCR1 preload value is loaded in the active register at each update event.
Note: 1: These bits can not be modified as long as LOCK level 3 has been programmed
(LOCK bits in TIMx_BDTR register) and CC1S=’00’ (the channel is configured in
output).
2: The PWM mode can be used without validating the preload register only in one
pulse mode (OPM bit set in TIMx_CR1 register). Else the behavior is not guaranteed.
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 of the result of the comparison. 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.

correspond to OCX and OCxN both in active state.
Off-State (output enabled with inactive state)
Asynchronously: OCx=CCxP, OCx_EN=1, OCxN=CCxNP,
OCxN_EN=1
Then if the clock is present: OCx=OISx and OCxN=OISxN
after a dead-time, assuming that OISx and OISxN do not
correspond to OCX and OCxN both in active state

1. When both outputs of a channel are not used (CCxE = CCxNE = 0), the OISx, OISxN, CCxP and CCxNP bits must be kept
cleared.

Note:

The state of the external I/O pins connected to the complementary OCx and OCxN channels
depends on the OCx and OCxN channel state and the GPIO and AFIO registers.

Bits 15:8 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bits 7:0 REP[7:0]: Repetition counter value
These bits allow the user to set-up the update rate of the compare registers (i.e. periodic
transfers from preload to active registers) when preload registers are enable, as well as the
update interrupt generation rate, if this interrupt is enable.
Each time the REP_CNT related downcounter reaches zero, an update event is generated
and it restarts counting from REP value. As REP_CNT is reloaded with REP value only at the
repetition update event U_RC, any write to the TIMx_RCR register is not taken in account until
the next repetition update event.
It means in PWM mode (REP+1) corresponds to the number of PWM periods in edge-aligned
mode.

General-purpose timers (TIM15/16/17)

Bit 15 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 is acting 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 (CCxE, CCxNE in
TIMx_CCER register)
See OC/OCN enable description for more details (Section 18.5.8: TIM15 capture/compare
enable register (TIM15_CCER) on page 447).
Bit 14 AOE: Automatic output enable
0: MOE can be set only by software
1: MOE can be set by software or automatically at the next update event (if the break input is
not be active)
Note: This bit can not be modified as long as LOCK level 1 has been programmed (LOCK bits
in TIMx_BDTR register).
Bit 13 BKP: Break polarity
0: Break input BRK is active low
1: Break input BRK is active high
Note: This bit can not be modified as long as LOCK level 1 has been programmed (LOCK bits
in TIMx_BDTR register).
Note: Any write operation to this bit takes a delay of 1 APB clock cycle to become effective.
Bit 12 BKE: Break enable
0: Break inputs (BRK and CCS clock failure event) disabled
1; Break inputs (BRK and CCS clock failure event) enabled
Note: This bit cannot be modified when LOCK level 1 has been programmed (LOCK bits in
TIMx_BDTR register).
Note: Any write operation to this bit takes a delay of 1 APB clock cycle to become effective.
Bit 11 OSSR: Off-state selection for Run mode
This bit is used when MOE=1 on channels having a complementary output which are
configured as outputs. OSSR is not implemented if no complementary output is implemented
in the timer.
See OC/OCN enable description for more details (Section 18.5.8: TIM15 capture/compare
enable register (TIM15_CCER) on page 447).
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 CCxE=1
or CCxNE=1. Then, OC/OCN enable output signal=1
Note: This bit can not be modified as soon as the LOCK level 2 has been programmed (LOCK
bits in TIMx_BDTR register).

Bit 10 OSSI: Off-state selection for Idle mode
This bit is used when MOE=0 on channels configured as outputs.
See OC/OCN enable description for more details (Section 18.5.8: TIM15 capture/compare
enable register (TIM15_CCER) on page 447).
0: When inactive, OC/OCN outputs are disabled (OC/OCN enable output signal=0)
1: When inactive, OC/OCN outputs are forced first with their idle level as soon as CCxE=1 or
CCxNE=1. OC/OCN enable output signal=1)
Note: This bit can not be modified as soon as the LOCK level 2 has been programmed (LOCK
bits in TIMx_BDTR register).
Bits 9:8 LOCK[1:0]: Lock configuration
These bits offer a write protection against software errors.
00: LOCK OFF - No bit is write protected
01: LOCK Level 1 = DTG bits in TIMx_BDTR register, OISx and OISxN bits in TIMx_CR2
register and BKE/BKP/AOE bits in TIMx_BDTR register can no longer be written
10: LOCK Level 2 = LOCK Level 1 + CC Polarity bits (CCxP/CCxNP bits in TIMx_CCER
register, as long as the related channel is configured in output through the CCxS bits) as well
as OSSR and OSSI bits can no longer be written.
11: LOCK Level 3 = LOCK Level 2 + CC Control bits (OCxM and OCxPE bits in
TIMx_CCMRx registers, as long as the related channel is configured in output through the
CCxS bits) can no longer be written.
Note: The LOCK bits can be written only once after the reset. Once the TIMx_BDTR register
has been written, their content is frozen until the next reset.
Bits 7:0 DTG[7:0]: Dead-time generator setup
This bit-field defines the duration of the dead-time inserted between the complementary
outputs. DT correspond to this duration.
DTG[7:5]=0xx => DT=DTG[7:0]x tdtg with tdtg=tDTS
DTG[7:5]=10x => DT=(64+DTG[5:0])xtdtg with Tdtg=2xtDTS
DTG[7:5]=110 => DT=(32+DTG[4:0])xtdtg with Tdtg=8xtDTS
DTG[7:5]=111 => DT=(32+DTG[4:0])xtdtg with Tdtg=16xtDTS
Example if TDTS=125ns (8MHz), dead-time possible values are:
0 to 15875 ns by 125 ns steps,
16 µs to 31750 ns by 250 ns steps,
32 µs to 63 µs by 1 µs steps,
64 µs to 126 µs by 2 µs steps
Note: This bit-field can not be modified as long as LOCK level 1, 2 or 3 has been programmed
(LOCK bits in TIMx_BDTR register).

TIM16&TIM17 capture/compare mode register 1 (TIMx_CCMR1)
Address offset: 0x18
Reset value: 0x0000
The channels can be used in input (capture mode) or in output (compare mode). The
direction of a channel is defined by configuring the corresponding CCxS bits. All the other
bits of this register have a different function in input and in output mode. For a given bit,
OCxx describes its function when the channel is configured in output, ICxx describes its
function when the channel is configured in input. So you must take care that the same bit
can have a different meaning for the input stage and for the output stage.

Output compare mode:
Bits 15:7 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bits 6:4 OC1M: Output Compare 1 mode
These bits define the behavior of the output reference signal OC1REF from which OC1 and
OC1N are derived. OC1REF is active high whereas OC1 and OC1N active level depends
on CC1P and CC1NP bits.
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 upcounting, channel 1 is active as long as TIMx_CNTTIMx_CCR1 else active (OC1REF=’1’).
111: PWM mode 2 - In upcounting, channel 1 is inactive as long as
TIMx_CNTTIMx_CCR1 else inactive.
Note: 1: These bits can not be modified as long as LOCK level 3 has been programmed
(LOCK bits in TIMx_BDTR register) and CC1S=’00’ (the channel is configured in
output).
2: In PWM mode 1 or 2, the OCREF 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 in account immediately.
1: Preload register on TIMx_CCR1 enabled. Read/Write operations access the preload
register. TIMx_CCR1 preload value is loaded in the active register at each update event.
Note: 1: These bits can not be modified as long as LOCK level 3 has been programmed
(LOCK bits in TIMx_BDTR register) and CC1S=’00’ (the channel is configured in
output).
2: The PWM mode can be used without validating the preload register only in one
pulse mode (OPM bit set in TIMx_CR1 register). Else the behavior is not guaranteed.
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 of the result of the comparison. Delay to sample
the trigger input and to activate CC1 output is reduced to 3 clock cycles. OC1FE acts only if
the channel is configured in PWM1 or PWM2 mode.
Bits 1:0 CC1S: Capture/Compare 1 selection
This bit-field 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 TI1
10: CC1 channel is configured as input, IC1 is mapped on TI2
11: CC1 channel is configured as input, IC1 is mapped on TRC. This mode is working only
if an internal trigger input is selected through TS bit (TIMx_SMCR register)
Note: CC1S bits are writable only when the channel is OFF (CC1E = ‘0’ in TIMx_CCER).

Bits 15:8 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bits 7:0 REP[7:0]: Repetition counter value
These bits allow the user to set-up the update rate of the compare registers (i.e. periodic
transfers from preload to active registers) when preload registers are enable, as well as the
update interrupt generation rate, if this interrupt is enable.
Each time the REP_CNT related downcounter reaches zero, an update event is generated
and it restarts counting from REP value. As REP_CNT is reloaded with REP value only at the
repetition update event U_RC, any write to the TIMx_RCR register is not taken in account until
the next repetition update event.
It means in PWM mode (REP+1) corresponds to the number of PWM periods in edge-aligned
mode.

If channel CC1 is configured as output:
CCR1 is the value to be loaded in the actual capture/compare 1 register (preload value).
It is loaded permanently if the preload feature is not selected in the TIMx_CCMR1 register (bit
OC1PE). Else the preload value is copied in the active capture/compare 1 register when an
update event occurs.
The active capture/compare register contains the value to be compared to the counter
TIMx_CNT and signaled on OC1 output.
If channel CC1 is configured as input:
CCR1 is the counter value transferred by the last input capture 1 event (IC1).

As the bits AOE, BKP, BKE, OSSI, OSSR and DTG[7:0] can be write-locked depending on
the LOCK configuration, it can be necessary to configure all of them during the first write
access to the TIMx_BDTR register.
Bit 15 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 is acting 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 (CCxE, CCxNE in
TIMx_CCER register)
See OC/OCN enable description for more details (Section 18.5.8: TIM15 capture/compare
enable register (TIM15_CCER) on page 447).
Bit 14 AOE: Automatic output enable
0: MOE can be set only by software
1: MOE can be set by software or automatically at the next update event (if the break input is
not be active)
Note: This bit can not be modified as long as LOCK level 1 has been programmed (LOCK bits
in TIMx_BDTR register).
Bit 13 BKP: Break polarity
0: Break input BRK is active low
1: Break input BRK is active high
Note: This bit can not be modified as long as LOCK level 1 has been programmed (LOCK bits
in TIMx_BDTR register).
Note: Any write operation to this bit takes a delay of 1 APB clock cycle to become effective.
Bit 12 BKE: Break enable
0: Break inputs (BRK and CCS clock failure event) disabled
1; Break inputs (BRK and CCS clock failure event) enabled
Note: This bit cannot be modified when LOCK level 1 has been programmed (LOCK bits in
TIMx_BDTR register).
Note: Any write operation to this bit takes a delay of 1 APB clock cycle to become effective.
Bit 11 OSSR: Off-state selection for Run mode
This bit is used when MOE=1 on channels having a complementary output which are
configured as outputs. OSSR is not implemented if no complementary output is implemented
in the timer.
See OC/OCN enable description for more details (Section 18.5.8: TIM15 capture/compare
enable register (TIM15_CCER) on page 447).
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 CCxE=1
or CCxNE=1. Then, OC/OCN enable output signal=1
Note: This bit can not be modified as soon as the LOCK level 2 has been programmed (LOCK
bits in TIMx_BDTR register).

Bit 10 OSSI: Off-state selection for Idle mode
This bit is used when MOE=0 on channels configured as outputs.
See OC/OCN enable description for more details (Section 18.5.8: TIM15 capture/compare
enable register (TIM15_CCER) on page 447).
0: When inactive, OC/OCN outputs are disabled (OC/OCN enable output signal=0)
1: When inactive, OC/OCN outputs are forced first with their idle level as soon as CCxE=1 or
CCxNE=1. OC/OCN enable output signal=1)
Note: This bit can not be modified as soon as the LOCK level 2 has been programmed (LOCK
bits in TIMx_BDTR register).
Bits 9:8 LOCK[1:0]: Lock configuration
These bits offer a write protection against software errors.
00: LOCK OFF - No bit is write protected
01: LOCK Level 1 = DTG bits in TIMx_BDTR register, OISx and OISxN bits in TIMx_CR2
register and BKE/BKP/AOE bits in TIMx_BDTR register can no longer be written.
10: LOCK Level 2 = LOCK Level 1 + CC Polarity bits (CCxP/CCxNP bits in TIMx_CCER
register, as long as the related channel is configured in output through the CCxS bits) as well
as OSSR and OSSI bits can no longer be written.
11: LOCK Level 3 = LOCK Level 2 + CC Control bits (OCxM and OCxPE bits in
TIMx_CCMRx registers, as long as the related channel is configured in output through the
CCxS bits) can no longer be written.
Note: The LOCK bits can be written only once after the reset. Once the TIMx_BDTR register
has been written, their content is frozen until the next reset.
Bits 7:0 DTG[7:0]: Dead-time generator setup
This bit-field defines the duration of the dead-time inserted between the complementary
outputs. DT correspond to this duration.
DTG[7:5]=0xx => DT=DTG[7:0]x tdtg with tdtg=tDTS
DTG[7:5]=10x => DT=(64+DTG[5:0])xtdtg with Tdtg=2xtDTS
DTG[7:5]=110 => DT=(32+DTG[4:0])xtdtg with Tdtg=8xtDTS
DTG[7:5]=111 => DT=(32+DTG[4:0])xtdtg with Tdtg=16xtDTS
Example if TDTS=125ns (8MHz), dead-time possible values are:
0 to 15875 ns by 125 ns steps,
16 µs to 31750 ns by 250 ns steps,
32 µs to 63 µs by 1 µs steps,
64 µs to 126 µs by 2 µs steps
Note: This bit-field can not be modified as long as LOCK level 1, 2 or 3 has been programmed
(LOCK bits in TIMx_BDTR register).

Bits 15:13 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bits 12:8 DBL[4:0]: DMA burst length
This 5-bit vector defines the length of DMA transfers (the timer recognizes a burst transfer
when a read or a write access is done to the TIMx_DMAR address), i.e. the number of
transfers. Transfers can be in half-words or in bytes (see example below).
00000: 1 transfer,
00001: 2 transfers,
00010: 3 transfers,
...
10001: 18 transfers.
Bits 7:5 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bits 4:0 DBA[4:0]: DMA base address
This 5-bits vector defines the base-address for DMA transfers (when read/write access are
done through the TIMx_DMAR address). DBA is defined as an offset starting from the
address of the TIMx_CR1 register.
Example:
00000: TIMx_CR1,
00001: TIMx_CR2,
00010: TIMx_SMCR,
...
Example: Let us consider the following transfer: DBL = 7 transfers and DBA = TIMx_CR1. In
this case the transfer is done to/from 7 registers starting from the TIMx_CR1 address.

Bits 15:0 DMAB[15:0]: DMA register for burst accesses
A read or write access to the DMAR register accesses the register located at the address:
“(TIMx_CR1 address) + DBA + (DMA index)” in which:
TIMx_CR1 address is the address of the control register 1, DBA is the DMA base address
configured in TIMx_DCR register, DMA index is the offset automatically controlled by the
DMA transfer, depending on the length of the transfer DBL in the TIMx_DCR register.

Example of how to use the DMA burst feature
In this example the timer DMA burst feature is used to update the contents of the CCRx
registers (x = 2, 3, 4) with the DMA transferring half words into the CCRx registers.
This is done in the following steps:

474/904

DocID022448 Rev 5

RM0313

General-purpose timers (TIM15/16/17)
1.

Configure the corresponding DMA channel as follows:
–

DMA channel peripheral address is the DMAR register address

–

DMA channel memory address is the address of the buffer in the RAM containing
the data to be transferred by DMA into CCRx registers.

–

Number of data to transfer = 3 (See note below).

–

Circular mode disabled.

2.

Configure the DCR register by configuring the DBA and DBL bit fields as follows:
DBL = 3 transfers, DBA = 0xE.

3.

Enable the TIMx update DMA request (set the UDE bit in the DIER register).

4.

Enable TIMx

5.

Enable the DMA channel

Note:

This example is for the case where every CCRx register to be updated once. If every CCRx
register is to be updated twice for example, the number of data to transfer should be 6. Let's
take the example of a buffer in the RAM containing data1, data2, data3, data4, data5 and
data6. The data is transferred to the CCRx registers as follows: on the first update DMA
request, data1 is transferred to CCR2, data2 is transferred to CCR3, data3 is transferred to
CCR4 and on the second update DMA request, data4 is transferred to CCR2, data5 is
transferred to CCR3 and data6 is transferred to CCR4.

Infrared interface (IRTIM)

Infrared interface (IRTIM)
An infrared interface (IRTIM) for remote control is available on the device. It can be used
with an infrared LED to perform remote control functions.
It uses internal connections with TIM16 and TIM17 as shown in Figure 151.
To generate the infrared remote control signals, the IR interface must be enabled and TIM16
channel 1 (TIM16_OC1) and TIM17 channel 1 (TIM17_OC1) must be properly configured to
generate correct waveforms.
The infrared receiver can be implemented easily through a basic input capture mode.

All standard IR pulse modulation modes can be obtained by programming the two timer
output compare channels.
TIM17 is used to generate the high frequency carrier signal, while TIM16 generates the
modulation envelope.
The infrared function is output on the IR_OUT pin. The activation of this function is done
through the GPIOx_AFRx register by enabling the related alternate function bit.
The high sink LED driver capability (only available on the PB9 pin) can be activated through
the I2C_PB9_FMP bit in the SYSCFG_CFGR1 register and used to sink the high current
needed to directly control an infrared LED.

Basic timers (TIM6/7/18)

20.1

Introduction
The basic timers TIM6, TIM7, and TIM18 consist of a 16-bit auto-reload counter driven by a
programmable prescaler.
They can be used as generic timers for timebase generation but they are also specifically
used to drive the digital-to-analog converter (DAC). In fact, the timers are internally
connected to the DAC and are able to drive it through their trigger outputs.
The timers are completely independent, and do not share any resources.

20.2

TIM6/7/18 main features
Basic timer (TIM6/TIM7/TIM18) features include:
•

16-bit auto-reload upcounter

•

16-bit programmable prescaler used to divide (also “on the fly”) the counter clock
frequency by any factor between 1 and 65536

•

Synchronization circuit to trigger the DAC

•

Interrupt/DMA generation on the update event: counter overflow

TIM6/7/18 functional description

20.3.1

Time-base unit
The main block of the programmable timer is a 16-bit upcounter with its related auto-reload
register. The counter clock can be divided by a prescaler.
The counter, the auto-reload register and the prescaler register can be written or read by
software. This is true even when the counter is running.
The time-base unit includes:
•

Counter Register (TIMx_CNT)

•

Prescaler Register (TIMx_PSC)

•

Auto-Reload Register (TIMx_ARR)

The auto-reload register is preloaded. The preload register is accessed each time an
attempt is made to write or read the auto-reload register. The contents of the preload
register are transferred into the shadow register permanently or at each update event UEV,
depending on the auto-reload preload enable bit (ARPE) in the TIMx_CR1 register. The
update event is sent when the counter reaches the overflow value and if the UDIS bit equals
0 in the TIMx_CR1 register. It can also be generated by software. The generation of the
update event is described in detail for each configuration.
The counter is clocked by the prescaler output CK_CNT, which is enabled only when the
counter enable bit (CEN) in the TIMx_CR1 register is set.
Note that the actual counter enable signal CNT_EN is set 1 clock cycle after CEN.

Prescaler description
The prescaler can divide the counter clock frequency by any factor between 1 and 65536. It
is based on a 16-bit counter controlled through a 16-bit register (in the TIMx_PSC register).
It can be changed on the fly as the TIMx_PSC control register is buffered. The new
prescaler ratio is taken into account at the next update event.
Figure 153 and Figure 154 give some examples of the counter behavior when the prescaler
ratio is changed on the fly.

20.3.2

Basic timers (TIM6/7/18)

Counting mode
The counter counts from 0 to the auto-reload value (contents of the TIMx_ARR register),
then restarts from 0 and generates a counter overflow event.
An update event can be generate at each counter overflow or by setting the UG bit in the
TIMx_EGR register (by software or by using the slave mode controller).
The UEV event can be disabled by software by setting the UDIS bit in the TIMx_CR1
register. This avoids updating the shadow registers while writing new values into the preload
registers. In this way, no update event occurs until the UDIS bit has been written to 0,
however, the counter and the prescaler counter both restart from 0 (but the prescale rate
does not change). In addition, if the URS (update request selection) bit in the TIMx_CR1
register is set, setting the UG bit generates an update event UEV, but the UIF flag is not set
(so no interrupt or DMA request is sent).
When an update event occurs, all the registers are updated and the update flag (UIF bit in
the TIMx_SR register) is set (depending on the URS bit):
•

The buffer of the prescaler is reloaded with the preload value (contents of the
TIMx_PSC register)

•

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

The following figures show some examples of the counter behavior for different clock
frequencies when TIMx_ARR = 0x36.

Clock source
The counter clock is provided by the Internal clock (CK_INT) source.
The CEN (in the TIMx_CR1 register) and UG bits (in the TIMx_EGR register) are actual
control bits and can be changed only by software (except for UG that remains cleared
automatically). As soon as the CEN bit is written to 1, the prescaler is clocked by the internal
clock CK_INT.
Figure 161 shows the behavior of the control circuit and the upcounter in normal mode,
without prescaler.

Debug mode
When the microcontroller enters the debug mode (Cortex®-M4 with FPU core - halted), the
TIMx counter either continues to work normally or stops, depending on the
DBG_TIMx_STOP configuration bit in the DBG module. For more details, refer to
Section 31.16.2: Debug support for timers, watchdog, bxCAN and I2C.

Bits 15:7 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bits 6:4 MMS: 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 TIMx_EGR register is used as a trigger output (TRGO). If
reset is generated by the trigger input (slave mode controller configured in reset mode) then
the signal on TRGO is delayed compared to the actual reset.
001: Enable - the Counter enable signal, CNT_EN, is used as a trigger output (TRGO). It is
useful 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 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 TIMx_SMCR
register).
010: Update - The update event is selected as a trigger output (TRGO). For instance a
master timer can then be used as a prescaler for a slave timer.
Bits 3:0 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.

Independent watchdog (IWDG)

Independent watchdog (IWDG)

21.1

Introduction
The devices feature an embedded watchdog peripheral which offers a combination of high
safety level, timing accuracy and flexibility of use. The Independent watchdog peripheral
serves to detect and resolve malfunctions due to software failure, and to trigger system
reset when the counter reaches a given timeout value.
The independent watchdog (IWDG) is clocked by its own dedicated low-speed clock (LSI)
and thus stays active even if the main clock fails.
The IWDG is best suited to applications which require the watchdog to run as a totally
independent process outside the main application, but have lower timing accuracy
constraints. For further information on the window watchdog, refer to Section 22 on page
500.

21.2

IWDG main features
•

Free-running downcounter

•

Clocked from an independent RC oscillator (can operate in Standby and Stop modes)

•

Conditional Reset
–

Reset (if watchdog activated) when the downcounter value becomes less than
0x000

–

Reset (if watchdog activated) if the downcounter is reloaded outside the window

When the independent watchdog is started by writing the value 0x0000 CCCC in the Key
register (IWDG_KR), the counter starts counting down from the reset value of 0xFFF. When
it reaches the end of count value (0x000) a reset signal is generated (IWDG reset).
Whenever the key value 0x0000 AAAA is written in the IWDG_KR register, the IWDG_RLR
value is reloaded in the counter and the watchdog reset is prevented.

21.3.2

Window option
The IWDG can also work as a window watchdog by setting the appropriate window in the
IWDG_WINR register.
If the reload operation is performed while the counter is greater than the value stored in the
window register (IWDG_WINR), then a reset is provided.
The default value of the IWDG_WINR is 0x0000 0FFF, so if it is not updated, the window
option is disabled.
As soon as the window value is changed, a reload operation is performed in order to reset
the downcounter to the IWDG_RLR value and ease the cycle number calculation to
generate the next reload.

Configuring the IWDG when the window option is enabled

Note:

1.

Enable the IWDG by writing 0x0000 CCCC in the IWDG_KR register.

2.

Enable register access by writing 0x0000 5555 in the IWDG_KR register.

3.

Write the IWDG prescaler by programming IWDG_PR from 0 to 7.

4.

Write the reload register (IWDG_RLR).

5.

Wait for the registers to be updated (IWDG_SR = 0x0000 0000).

6.

Write to the window register IWDG_WINR. This automatically refreshes the counter
value IWDG_RLR.

Writing the window value allows to refresh the Counter value by the RLR when IWDG_SR is
set to 0x0000 0000.

Configuring the IWDG when the window option is disabled
When the window option it is not used, the IWDG can be configured as follows:

21.3.3

1.

Enable the IWDG by writing 0x0000 CCCC in the IWDG_KR register.

2.

Enable register access by writing 0x0000 5555 in the IWDG_KR register.

3.

Write the IWDG prescaler by programming IWDG_PR from 0 to 7.

4.

Write the reload register (IWDG_RLR).

5.

Wait for the registers to be updated (IWDG_SR = 0x0000 0000).

6.

Refresh the counter value with IWDG_RLR (IWDG_KR = 0x0000 AAAA)

Hardware watchdog
If the “Hardware watchdog” feature is enabled through the device option bits, 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 or if the downcounter is
reloaded inside the window.

Behavior in Stop and Standby modes
Once running, the IWDG cannot be stopped.

21.3.5

Register access protection
Write access to the IWDG_PR, IWDG_RLR and IWDG_WINR registers is protected. To
modify them, you must first write the code 0x0000 5555 in the IWDG_KR register. A write
access to this register with a different value will break the sequence and register access will
be protected again. This implies that it is the case of the reload operation
(writing 0x0000 AAAA).
A status register is available to indicate that an update of the prescaler or the down-counter
reload value or the window value is on going.

21.3.6

Debug mode
When the microcontroller enters debug mode (core halted), the IWDG counter either
continues to work normally or stops, depending on DBG_IWDG_STOP configuration bit in
DBG module.

System window watchdog (WWDG)

22.1

Introduction
The system window watchdog (WWDG) 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.
The WWDG clock is prescaled from the APB1 clock and has a configurable time-window
that can be programmed to detect abnormally late or early application behavior.
The WWDG is best suited for applications which require the watchdog to react within an
accurate timing window.

22.2

WWDG main features
•

Programmable free-running downcounter

•

Conditional reset

•

22.3

–

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 164)

Early wakeup interrupt (EWI): triggered (if enabled and the watchdog activated) when
the downcounter is equal to 0x40.

WWDG functional description
If the watchdog is activated (the WDGA bit is set in the WWDG_CR register) and when the
7-bit downcounter (T[6:0] bits) is decremented from 0x40 to 0x3F (T6 becomes cleared), it
initiates a reset. If the software reloads 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 and higher than 0x3F. The value to be stored
in the WWDG_CR register must be between 0xFF and 0xC0.

22.3.1

Enabling the watchdog
The watchdog is always 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.

22.3.2

Controlling the downcounter
This downcounter is free-running, counting 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 164). The Configuration register (WWDG_CFR) 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 164 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).

22.3.3

Advanced watchdog interrupt feature
The Early Wakeup Interrupt (EWI) can be used if specific safety operations or data logging
must be performed before the actual reset is generated. The EWI interrupt is enabled by
setting the EWI bit in the WWDG_CFR register. When the downcounter reaches the value
0x40, an EWI interrupt is generated and the corresponding interrupt service routine (ISR)
can be used to trigger specific actions (such as communications or data logging), before
resetting the device.

DocID022448 Rev 5

501/904
506

System window watchdog (WWDG)

RM0313

In some applications, the EWI interrupt can be used to manage a software system check
and/or system recovery/graceful degradation, without generating a WWDG reset. In this
case, the corresponding interrupt service routine (ISR) should reload the WWDG counter to
avoid the WWDG reset, then trigger the required actions.
The EWI interrupt is cleared by writing '0' to the EWIF bit in the WWDG_SR register.
Note:

When the EWI interrupt cannot be served, e.g. due to a system lock in a higher priority task,
the WWDG reset will eventually be generated.

22.3.4

How to program the watchdog timeout
You can use the formula in Figure 164 to calculate the WWDG timeout.

Warning:

When writing to the WWDG_CR register, always write 1 in the
T6 bit to avoid generating an immediate reset.

The formula to calculate the timeout value is given by:

where:

As an example, lets assume APB1 frequency is equal to 48 MHz, WDGTB[1:0] is set to 3

Real-time clock (RTC)

23.1

Introduction
The RTC provides an automatic wakeup to manage all low-power modes.
The real-time clock (RTC) is an independent BCD timer/counter. The RTC provides a timeof-day clock/calendar with programmable alarm interrupts.
The RTC includes also a periodic programmable wakeup flag with interrupt capability.
Two 32-bit registers contain the seconds, minutes, hours (12- or 24-hour format), day (day
of week), date (day of month), month, and year, expressed in binary coded decimal format
(BCD). The sub-seconds value is also available in binary format.
Compensations for 28-, 29- (leap year), 30-, and 31-day months are performed
automatically. Daylight saving time compensation can also be performed.
Additional 32-bit registers contain the programmable alarm subseconds, seconds, minutes,
hours, day, and date.
A digital calibration feature is available to compensate for any deviation in crystal oscillator
accuracy.
After RTC domain reset, all RTC registers are protected against possible parasitic write
accesses.
As long as the supply voltage remains in the operating range, the RTC never stops,
regardless of the device status (Run mode, low-power mode or under reset).

The RTC includes:
•

Two alarms

•

Three tamper events from I/Os
–

One timestamp event from I/O

•

Tamper event detection can generate a timestamp event

•

32 32-bit backup registers
–

•

•

23.3.2

Tamper detection erases the backup registers.

•

The backup registers (RTC_BKPxR) are implemented in the RTC domain that
remains powered-on by VBAT when the VDD power is switched off.

Alternate function outputs: RTC_OUT which selects one of the following two outputs:
–

RTC_CALIB: 512 Hz or 1Hz clock output (with an LSE frequency of 32.768 kHz).
This output is enabled by setting the COE bit in the RTC_CR register.

–

RTC_ALARM: Alarm A. This output is selected by configuring the OSEL[1:0] bits
in the RTC_CR register.

Alternate function inputs:
–

RTC_TS: timestamp event

–

RTC_TAMP1: tamper1 event detection

–

RTC_TAMP2: tamper2 event detection

–

RTC_TAMP3: tamper3 event detection

–

RTC_REFIN: 50 or 60 Hz reference clock input

GPIOs controlled by the RTC
RTC_OUT, RTC_TS and RTC_TAMP1 are mapped on the same pin (PC13).
The selection of the RTC_ALARM output is performed through the RTC_TAFCR register as
follows: the PC13VALUE bit is used to select whether the RTC_ALARM output is configured
in push-pull or open drain mode.
When PC13 is not used as RTC alternate function, it can be forced in output push-pull mode
by setting the PC13MODE bit in the RTC_TAFCR. The output data value is then given by
the PC13VALUE bit. In this case, PC13 output push-pull state and data are preserved in
Standby mode.
The output mechanism follows the priority order shown in Table 61.
When PC14 and PC15 are not used as LSE oscillator, they can be forced in output push-pull
mode by setting the PC14MODE and PC15MODE bits in the RTC_TAFCR register
respectively. The output data values are then given by PC14VALUE and PC15VALUE. In
this case, the PC14 and PC15 output push-pull states and data values are preserved in
Standby mode.
The output mechanism follows the priority order shown in Table 62 and Table 63.

23.3.3

RM0313

Clock and prescalers
The RTC clock source (RTCCLK) is selected through the clock controller among the LSE
clock, the LSI oscillator clock, and the HSE clock. For more information on the RTC clock
source configuration, refer to Section 7: Reset and clock control (RCC).
A programmable prescaler stage generates a 1 Hz clock which is used to update the
calendar. To minimize power consumption, the prescaler is split into 2 programmable
prescalers (see Figure 165: RTC block diagram):

Note:

•

A 7-bit asynchronous prescaler configured through the PREDIV_A bits of the
RTC_PRER register.

•

A 15-bit synchronous prescaler configured through the PREDIV_S bits of the
RTC_PRER register.

When both prescalers are used, it is recommended to configure the asynchronous prescaler
to a high value to minimize consumption.
The asynchronous prescaler division factor is set to 128, and the synchronous division
factor to 256, to obtain an internal clock frequency of 1 Hz (ck_spre) with an LSE frequency
of 32.768 kHz.
The minimum division factor is 1 and the maximum division factor is 222.
This corresponds to a maximum input frequency of around 4 MHz.
fck_apre is given by the following formula:
f RTCCLK
f CK_APRE = --------------------------------------PREDIV_A + 1

The ck_apre clock is used to clock the binary RTC_SSR subseconds downcounter. When it
reaches 0, RTC_SSR is reloaded with the content of PREDIV_S.
fck_spre is given by the following formula:
f RTCCLK
f CK_SPRE = ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------( PREDIV_S + 1 ) × ( PREDIV_A + 1 )

The ck_spre clock can be used either to update the calendar or as timebase for the 16-bit
wakeup auto-reload timer. To obtain short timeout periods, the 16-bit wakeup auto-reload
timer can also run with the RTCCLK divided by the programmable 4-bit asynchronous
prescaler (see Section 23.3.6: Periodic auto-wakeup for details).

23.3.4

Real-time clock and calendar
The RTC calendar time and date registers are accessed through shadow registers which
are synchronized with PCLK (APB clock). They can also be accessed directly in order to
avoid waiting for the synchronization duration.
•

RTC_SSR for the subseconds

•

RTC_TR for the time

•

RTC_DR for the date

Every two RTCCLK periods, the current calendar value is copied into the shadow registers,
and the RSF bit of RTC_ISR register is set (see Section 23.6.4: RTC initialization and status

512/904

DocID022448 Rev 5

RM0313

Real-time clock (RTC)
register (RTC_ISR)). The copy is not performed in Stop and Standby mode. When exiting
these modes, the shadow registers are updated after up to 2 RTCCLK periods.
When the application reads the calendar registers, it accesses the content of the shadow
registers. It is possible to make a direct access to the calendar registers by setting the
BYPSHAD control bit in the RTC_CR register. By default, this bit is cleared, and the user
accesses the shadow registers.
When reading the RTC_SSR, RTC_TR or RTC_DR registers in BYPSHAD=0 mode, the
frequency of the APB clock (fAPB) must be at least 7 times the frequency of the RTC clock
(fRTCCLK).
The shadow registers are reset by system reset.

23.3.5

Programmable alarms
The RTC unit provides programmable alarm: Alarm A and Alarm B. The description below is
given for Alarm A, but can be translated in the same way for Alarm B.
The programmable alarm function is enabled through the ALRAE bit in the RTC_CR
register. The ALRAF is set to 1 if the calendar subseconds, seconds, minutes, hours, date
or day match the values programmed in the alarm registers RTC_ALRMASSR and
RTC_ALRMAR. Each calendar field can be independently selected through the MSKx bits
of the RTC_ALRMAR register, and through the MASKSSx bits of the RTC_ALRMASSR
register. The alarm interrupt is enabled through the ALRAIE bit in the RTC_CR register.

Caution:

If the seconds field is selected (MSK1 bit reset in RTC_ALRMAR), the synchronous
prescaler division factor set in the RTC_PRER register must be at least 3 to ensure correct
behavior.
Alarm A and Alarm B (if enabled by bits OSEL[1:0] in RTC_CR register) can be routed to the
RTC_ALARM output. RTC_ALARM output polarity can be configured through bit POL the
RTC_CR register.

23.3.6

Periodic auto-wakeup
The periodic wakeup flag is generated by a 16-bit programmable auto-reload down-counter.
The wakeup timer range can be extended to 17 bits.
The wakeup function is enabled through the WUTE bit in the RTC_CR register.
The wakeup timer clock input can be:
•

RTC clock (RTCCLK) divided by 2, 4, 8, or 16.
When RTCCLK is LSE(32.768kHz), this allows to configure the wakeup interrupt period
from 122 µs to 32 s, with a resolution down to 61 µs.

•

ck_spre (usually 1 Hz internal clock)
When ck_spre frequency is 1Hz, this allows to achieve a wakeup time from 1 s to
around 36 hours with one-second resolution. 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
complete (see Programming the wakeup timer on page 515), the timer starts
counting down.When the wakeup function is enabled, the down-counting remains
active in low-power modes. In addition, when it reaches 0, the WUTF flag is set in

DocID022448 Rev 5

513/904
549

Real-time clock (RTC)

RM0313

the RTC_ISR register, and the wakeup counter is automatically reloaded with its
reload value (RTC_WUTR register value).
The WUTF flag must then be cleared by 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.
The periodic wakeup flag can be routed to the RTC_ALARM output provided it has been
enabled through bits OSEL[1:0] of RTC_CR register. RTC_ALARM output polarity can be
configured through the POL bit in the RTC_CR register.
System reset, as well as low-power modes (Sleep, Stop and Standby) have no influence on
the wakeup timer.

23.3.7

RTC initialization and configuration
RTC register access
The RTC registers are 32-bit registers. The APB interface introduces 2 wait-states in RTC
register accesses except on read accesses to calendar shadow registers when
BYPSHAD=0.

RTC register write protection
After system reset, the RTC registers are protected against parasitic write access by
clearing the DBP bit in the PWR_CR register (refer to the power control section). DBP bit
must be set in order to enable RTC registers write access.
After RTC domain reset, all the RTC registers are write-protected. Writing to the RTC
registers is enabled by writing a key into the Write Protection register, RTC_WPR.
The following steps are required to unlock the write protection on all the RTC registers
except for RTC_TAFCR, RTC_BKPxR and RTC_ISR[13:8].
1.

Write ‘0xCA’ into the RTC_WPR register.

2.

Write ‘0x53’ into the RTC_WPR register.

Writing a wrong key reactivates the write protection.
The protection mechanism is not affected by system reset.

Calendar initialization and configuration
To program the initial time and date calendar values, including the time format and the
prescaler configuration, the following sequence is required:

514/904

1.

Set INIT bit to 1 in the RTC_ISR register to enter initialization 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 (due to clock synchronization).

3.

To generate a 1 Hz clock for the calendar counter, program both the prescaler factors in
RTC_PRER register.

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.
DocID022448 Rev 5

RM0313

Real-time clock (RTC)
When the initialization sequence is complete, the calendar starts counting.

Note:

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 RTC domain reset default value (0x00).
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 BKP
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.
In addition, the software can use the BKP bit to memorize this operation.

Programming the alarm
A similar procedure must be followed to program or update the programmable alarms. The
procedure below is given for Alarm A but can be translated in the same way for Alarm B.

Note:

1.

Clear ALRAE in RTC_CR to disable Alarm A.

2.

Program the Alarm A registers (RTC_ALRMASSR/RTC_ALRMAR).

3.

Set ALRAE in the RTC_CR register to enable Alarm A again.

Each change of the RTC_CR register is taken into account after around 2 RTCCLK clock
cycles due to clock synchronization.

Programming the wakeup timer
The following sequence is required to configure or change the wakeup timer auto-reload
value (WUT[15:0] in RTC_WUTR):

23.3.8

1.

Clear WUTE in RTC_CR to disable the wakeup timer.

2.

Poll WUTWF until it is set in RTC_ISR to make sure the access to wakeup auto-reload
counter and to WUCKSEL[2:0] bits is allowed. It takes around 2 RTCCLK clock cycles
(due to clock synchronization).

3.

Program the wakeup auto-reload value WUT[15:0], and the wakeup clock selection
(WUCKSEL[2:0] bits in RTC_CR). Set WUTE in RTC_CR to enable the timer again.
The wakeup timer restarts down-counting. The WUTWF bit is cleared up to 2 RTCCLK
clock cycles after WUTE is cleared, due to clock synchronization.

Reading the calendar
When BYPSHAD control bit is cleared in the RTC_CR register
To read the RTC calendar registers (RTC_SSR, RTC_TR and RTC_DR) properly, the APB1
clock frequency (fPCLK) must be equal to or greater than seven times the RTC clock
frequency (fRTCCLK). This ensures a secure behavior of the synchronization mechanism.
If the APB1 clock frequency is less than seven times the RTC clock frequency, the software
must read the calendar time and date registers twice. If the second read of the RTC_TR
gives the same result as the first read, this ensures that the data is correct. Otherwise a third

DocID022448 Rev 5

515/904
549

Real-time clock (RTC)

RM0313

read access must be done. In any case the APB1 clock frequency must never be lower than
the RTC clock frequency.
The RSF bit is set in RTC_ISR register each time the calendar registers are copied into the
RTC_SSR, RTC_TR and RTC_DR shadow registers. The copy is performed every two
RTCCLK cycles. To ensure consistency between the 3 values, reading either RTC_SSR or
RTC_TR locks the values in the higher-order calendar shadow registers until RTC_DR is
read. In case the software makes read accesses to the calendar in a time interval smaller
than 2 RTCCLK periods: RSF must be cleared by software after the first calendar read, and
then the software must wait until RSF is set before reading again the RTC_SSR, RTC_TR
and RTC_DR registers.
After waking up from low-power mode (Stop or Standby), RSF must be cleared by software.
The software must then wait until it is set again before reading the RTC_SSR, RTC_TR and
RTC_DR registers.
The RSF bit must be cleared after wakeup and not before entering low-power mode.
After a system reset, the software must wait until RSF is set before reading the RTC_SSR,
RTC_TR and RTC_DR registers. Indeed, a system reset resets the shadow registers to
their default values.
After an initialization (refer to Calendar initialization and configuration on page 514): the
software must wait until RSF is set before reading the RTC_SSR, RTC_TR and RTC_DR
registers.
After synchronization (refer to Section 23.3.10: RTC synchronization): the software must
wait until RSF is set before reading the RTC_SSR, RTC_TR and RTC_DR registers.

When the BYPSHAD control bit is set in the RTC_CR register (bypass shadow
registers)
Reading the calendar registers gives the values from the calendar counters directly, thus
eliminating the need to wait for the RSF bit to be set. This is especially useful after exiting
from low-power modes (STOP or Standby), since the shadow registers are not updated
during these modes.
When the BYPSHAD bit 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. Alternatively, the
software can just compare the two results of the least-significant calendar register.
Note:

While BYPSHAD=1, instructions which read the calendar registers require one extra APB
cycle to complete.

23.3.9

Resetting the RTC
The calendar shadow registers (RTC_SSR, RTC_TR and RTC_DR) and some bits of the
RTC status register (RTC_ISR) are reset to their default values by all available system reset
sources.
On the contrary, the following registers are reset to their default values by a RTC domain
reset and are not affected by a system reset: the RTC current calendar registers, the RTC
control register (RTC_CR), the prescaler register (RTC_PRER), the RTC calibration register

Real-time clock (RTC)
(RTC_CALR), the RTC shift register (RTC_SHIFTR), the RTC timestamp registers
(RTC_TSSSR, RTC_TSTR and RTC_TSDR), the RTC tamper and alternate function
configuration register (RTC_TAFCR), the RTC backup registers (RTC_BKPxR), the wakeup
timer register (RTC_WUTR), the Alarm A and Alarm B registers
(RTC_ALRMASSR/RTC_ALRMAR and RTC_ALRMBSSR/RTC_ALRMBR).
In addition, when it is clocked by the LSE, the RTC keeps on running under system reset if
the reset source is different from the RTC domain reset one (refer to the RTC clock section
of the Reset and clock controller for details on the list of RTC clock sources not affected by
system reset). When a RTC domain reset occurs, the RTC is stopped and all the RTC
registers are set to their reset values.

23.3.10

RTC synchronization
The RTC can be synchronized to a remote clock with a high degree of precision. After
reading the sub-second field (RTC_SSR or RTC_TSSSR), 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 adjusted to eliminate this offset by “shifting” its clock by a fraction of a
second using RTC_SHIFTR.
RTC_SSR contains the value of the synchronous prescaler counter. This allows one to
calculate the exact time being maintained by the RTC 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 PREDIV_S means that PREDIV_A must be decreased in order to
maintain the synchronous prescaler output at 1 Hz. In this way, 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 of adding the
SUBFS[14:0] value to the synchronous prescaler counter SS[15:0]: this will delay the clock.
If at the same time the ADD1S bit is set, this results in adding one second and at the same
time subtracting a fraction of second, so this will advance 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_SHIFTR 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.

Caution:

This synchronization feature is not compatible with the reference clock detection feature:
firmware must not write to RTC_SHIFTR when REFCKON=1.

23.3.11

RTC reference clock detection
The update of the RTC calendar can be synchronized to a reference clock, RTC_REFIN,
which is usually the mains frequency (50 or 60 Hz). The precision of the RTC_REFIN
reference clock should be higher than the 32.768 kHz LSE clock. When the RTC_REFIN
detection is enabled (REFCKON bit of RTC_CR set to 1), the calendar is still clocked by the
LSE, and RTC_REFIN is used to compensate for the imprecision of the calendar update
frequency (1 Hz).

DocID022448 Rev 5

517/904
549

Real-time clock (RTC)

RM0313

Each 1 Hz clock edge is compared to the nearest RTC_REFIN clock edge (if one is found
within a given time window). In most cases, the two clock edges are properly aligned. When
the 1 Hz clock becomes misaligned due to the imprecision of the LSE clock, the RTC shifts
the 1 Hz clock a bit so that future 1 Hz clock edges are aligned. Thanks to this mechanism,
the calendar becomes as precise as the reference clock.
The RTC detects if the reference clock source is present by using the 256 Hz clock
(ck_apre) generated from the 32.768 kHz quartz. The detection is performed during a time
window around each of the calendar updates (every 1 s). The window equals 7 ck_apre
periods when detecting the first reference clock edge. A smaller window of 3 ck_apre
periods is used for subsequent calendar updates.
Each time the reference clock is detected in the window, the asynchronous prescaler which
outputs the ck_apre clock is forced to reload. This has no effect when the reference clock
and the 1 Hz clock are aligned because the prescaler is being reloaded at the same
moment. When the clocks are not aligned, the reload shifts future 1 Hz clock edges a little
for them to be aligned with the reference clock.
If the reference clock halts (no reference clock edge occurred during the 3 ck_apre window),
the calendar is updated continuously based solely on the LSE clock. The RTC then waits for
the reference clock using a large 7 ck_apre period detection window centered on the
ck_spre edge.
When the RTC_REFIN detection is enabled, PREDIV_A and PREDIV_S must be set to their
default values:
•

PREDIV_A = 0x007F

•

PREVID_S = 0x00FF

Note:

RTC_REFIN clock detection is not available in Standby mode.

23.3.12

RTC smooth digital calibration
The RTC frequency can be digitally calibrated with a resolution of about 0.954 ppm with a
range from -487.1 ppm to +488.5 ppm. The correction of the frequency is performed using
series of small adjustments (adding and/or subtracting individual RTCCLK pulses). These
adjustments are fairly well distributed so that the RTC is well calibrated even when observed
over short durations of time.
The smooth digital calibration is performed during a cycle of about 220 RTCCLK pulses, or
32 seconds when the input frequency is 32768 Hz. This cycle is maintained by a 20-bit
counter, cal_cnt[19:0], clocked by RTCCLK.
The smooth calibration register (RTC_CALR) specifies 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 32-

second cycle.

Note:

518/904

•

Setting CALM[1] to 1 causes two additional cycles to be masked

•

Setting CALM[2] to 1 causes four additional cycles to be masked

•

and so on up to CALM[8] set to 1 which causes 256 clocks to be masked.

CALM[8:0] (RTC_CALR) specifies the number of RTCCLK pulses to be masked during the
32-second cycle. Setting the bit CALM[0] to ‘1’ causes exactly one pulse to be masked
during the 32-second cycle at the moment when cal_cnt[19:0] is 0x80000; CALM[1]=1
causes two other cycles to be masked (when cal_cnt is 0x40000 and 0xC0000); CALM[2]=1

DocID022448 Rev 5

RM0313

Real-time clock (RTC)
causes four other cycles to be masked (cal_cnt = 0x20000/0x60000/0xA0000/ 0xE0000);
and so on up to CALM[8]=1 which causes 256 clocks to be masked (cal_cnt = 0xXX800).
While CALM allows the RTC frequency to be reduced by up to 487.1 ppm with fine
resolution, the bit CALP can be used to increase the frequency by 488.5 ppm. Setting CALP
to ‘1’ effectively inserts an extra RTCCLK pulse every 211 RTCCLK cycles, which means
that 512 clocks are added during every 32-second cycle.
Using CALM together with CALP, an offset ranging from -511 to +512 RTCCLK cycles can
be added during the 32-second cycle, which translates to a calibration range of -487.1 ppm
to +488.5 ppm with a resolution of about 0.954 ppm.
The formula to calculate the effective calibrated frequency (FCAL) given the input frequency
(FRTCCLK) is as follows:
FCAL = FRTCCLK x [1 + (CALP x 512 - CALM) / (220 + CALM - CALP x 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_PRER 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:
FCAL = FRTCCLK x [1 + (256 - CALM) / (220 + 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. An optional 1 Hz output is provided 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.
•

By default, the calibration cycle period is 32 seconds.

DocID022448 Rev 5

519/904
549

Real-time clock (RTC)

RM0313

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).
•

CALW16 bit of the RTC_CALR register can be set to 1 to force a 16- second 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 calibration
resolution is reduced, the long term RTC precision is also reduced to 0.954 ppm: CALM[0]
bit is stuck at 0 when CALW16 is set to 1.
•

CALW8 bit of the RTC_CALR register can be set to 1 to force a 8- second calibration
cycle period.

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 register (RTC_CALR) can be updated on-the-fly while RTC_ISR/INITF=0, by
using the follow process:

23.3.13

1.

Poll the RTC_ISR/RECALPF (re-calibration pending flag).

2.

If it is set to 0, write a new value to RTC_CALR, if necessary. RECALPF is then
automatically set to 1

3.

Within three ck_apre cycles after the write operation to RTC_CALR, the new calibration
settings take effect.

Time-stamp function
Time-stamp is enabled by setting the TSE bit of RTC_CR register to 1.
The calendar is saved in the time-stamp registers (RTC_TSSSR, RTC_TSTR, RTC_TSDR)
when a time-stamp event is detected on the RTC_TS pin.
When a time-stamp event occurs, the time-stamp flag bit (TSF) in RTC_ISR register is set.
By setting the TSIE bit in the RTC_CR register, an interrupt is generated when a time-stamp
event occurs.
If a new time-stamp event is detected while the time-stamp flag (TSF) is already set, the
time-stamp overflow flag (TSOVF) flag is set and the time-stamp registers (RTC_TSTR and
RTC_TSDR) maintain the results of the previous event.

Note:

TSF is set 2 ck_apre cycles after the time-stamp event occurs due to synchronization
process.
There is no delay in the setting of TSOVF. This means that if two time-stamp events are
close together, TSOVF can be seen as '1' while TSF is still '0'. As a consequence, it is
recommended to poll TSOVF only after TSF has been set.

Caution:

520/904

If a time-stamp event occurs immediately after the TSF bit is supposed to be cleared, then
both TSF and TSOVF bits are set.To avoid masking a time-stamp event occurring at the
same moment, the application must not write ‘0’ into TSF bit unless it has already read it to
‘1’.

DocID022448 Rev 5

RM0313

Real-time clock (RTC)
Optionally, a tamper event can cause a time-stamp to be recorded. See the description of
the TAMPTS control bit in Section 23.6.16: RTC tamper and alternate function configuration
register (RTC_TAFCR).

23.3.14

Tamper detection
The RTC_TAMPx input events can be configured either for edge detection, or for level
detection with filtering.
The tamper detection can be configured for the following purposes:
•

erase the RTC backup registers

•

generate an interrupt, capable to wakeup from Stop and Standby modes

RTC backup registers
The backup registers (RTC_BKPxR) are not reset by system reset or when the device
wakes up from Standby mode.
The backup registers are reset when a tamper detection event occurs (see Section 23.6.19:
RTC backup registers (RTC_BKPxR) and Tamper detection initialization on page 521, or
when the readout protection of the flash is changed from level 1 to level 0).

Tamper detection initialization
Each input can be enabled by setting the corresponding TAMPxE bits to 1 in the
RTC_TAFCR register.
Each RTC_TAMPx tamper detection input is associated with a flag TAMPxF in the RTC_ISR
register.
The TAMPxF flag is asserted after the tamper event on the pin, with the latency provided
below:
•

3 ck_apre cycles when TAMPFLT differs from 0x0 (Level detection with filtering)

•

3 ck_apre cycles when TAMPTS=1 (Timestamp on tamper event)

•

No latency when TAMPFLT=0x0 (Edge detection) and TAMPTS=0

A new tamper occurring on the same pin during this period and as long as TAMPxF is set
cannot be detected.
By setting the TAMPIE bit in the RTC_TAFCR register, an interrupt is generated when a
tamper detection event occurs. .

Timestamp on tamper event
With TAMPTS set to ‘1’, any tamper event causes a timestamp to occur. In this case, either
the TSF bit or the TSOVF bit are set in RTC_ISR, in the same manner as if a normal
timestamp event occurs. The affected tamper flag register TAMPxF is set at the same time
that TSF or TSOVF is set.

Edge detection on tamper inputs
If the TAMPFLT bits are “00”, the RTC_TAMPx pins generate tamper detection events when
either a rising edge or a falling edge is observed depending on the corresponding
TAMPxTRG bit. The internal pull-up resistors on the RTC_TAMPx inputs are deactivated
when edge detection is selected.

DocID022448 Rev 5

521/904
549

Real-time clock (RTC)
Caution:

RM0313

To avoid losing tamper detection events, the signal used for edge detection is logically
ANDed with the corresponding TAMPxE bit in order to detect a tamper detection event in
case it occurs before the RTC_TAMPx pin is enabled.
•

When TAMPxTRG = 0: if the RTC_TAMPx alternate function is already high before
tamper detection is enabled (TAMPxE bit set to 1), a tamper event is detected as soon
as the RTC_TAMPx input is enabled, even if there was no rising edge on the
RTC_TAMPx input after TAMPxE was set.

•

When TAMPxTRG = 1: if the RTC_TAMPx alternate function is already low before
tamper detection is enabled, a tamper event is detected as soon as the RTC_TAMPx
input is enabled (even if there was no falling edge on the RTC_TAMPx input after
TAMPxE was set.

After a tamper event has been detected and cleared, the RTC_TAMPx alternate function
should be disabled and then re-enabled (TAMPxE set to 1) before re-programming the
backup registers (RTC_BKPxR). This prevents the application from writing to the backup
registers while the RTC_TAMPx input value still indicates a tamper detection. This is
equivalent to a level detection on the RTC_TAMPx alternate function input.
Note:

Tamper detection is still active when VDD power is switched off. To avoid unwanted resetting
of the backup registers, the pin to which the RTC_TAMPx alternate function is mapped
should be externally tied to the correct level.

Level detection with filtering on RTC_TAMPx inputs
Level detection with filtering is performed by setting TAMPFLT to a non-zero value. A tamper
detection event is generated when either 2, 4, or 8 (depending on TAMPFLT) consecutive
samples are observed at the level designated by the TAMPxTRG bits.
The RTC_TAMPx inputs are precharged through the I/O internal pull-up resistance before
its state is sampled, unless disabled by setting TAMPPUDIS to 1,The duration of the
precharge is determined by the TAMPPRCH bits, allowing for larger capacitances on the
RTC_TAMPx inputs.
The trade-off between tamper detection latency and power consumption through the 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.

23.3.15

Calibration clock output
When the COE bit is set to 1 in the RTC_CR register, a reference clock is provided on the
RTC_CALIB device output.
If the COSEL bit in the RTC_CR 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. The RTC_CALIB duty cycle is irregular: there is a light jitter on
falling edges. It is therefore recommended to use rising edges.
When COSEL is set and “PREDIV_S+1” is a non-zero multiple of 256 (i.e: PREDIV_S[7:0] =
0xFF), the 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. The 1 Hz output is affected when a shift
operation is on going and may toggle during the shift operation (SHPF=1).

When the RTC_CALIB or RTC_ALARM output is selected, the RTC_OUT pin is

Alarm output
The OSEL[1:0] control bits in the RTC_CR register are used to activate the alarm alternate
function output RTC_ALARM, and to select the function which is output. These functions
reflect the contents of the corresponding flags in the RTC_ISR register.
The polarity of the output is determined by the POL control bit in RTC_CR so that the
opposite of the selected flag bit is output when POL is set to 1.

The RTC_ALARM pin can be configured in output open drain or output push-pull using the
control bit ALARMOUTTYPE in the RTC_TAFCR register.
Note:

Once the RTC_ALARM output is enabled, it has priority over RTC_CALIB (COE bit is don't

When the RTC_CALIB or RTC_ALARM output is selected, the RTC_OUT pin is
automatically configured in output alternate function.

Bit 31 ADD1S: Add one second
0: No effect
1: Add one second to the clock/calendar
This bit is write only and is always read as zero. Writing to this bit has no effect when a shift
operation is pending (when SHPF=1, in RTC_ISR).
This function is intended to be used with SUBFS (see description below) in order to effectively
add a fraction of a second to the clock in an atomic operation.
Bits 30:15 Reserved, must be kept at reset value
Bits 14:0 SUBFS: Subtract a fraction of a second
These bits are write only and is always read as zero. Writing to this bit has no effect when a
shift operation is pending (when SHPF=1, in RTC_ISR).
The value which is written to SUBFS is added to the synchronous prescaler counter. Since this
counter counts down, this operation effectively subtracts from (delays) the clock by:
Delay (seconds) = SUBFS / (PREDIV_S + 1)
A fraction of a second can effectively be added to the clock (advancing the clock) when the
ADD1S function is used in conjunction with SUBFS, effectively advancing the clock by:
Advance (seconds) = (1 - (SUBFS / (PREDIV_S + 1))).
Note: Writing to SUBFS causes RSF to be cleared. Software can then wait until RSF=1 to be
sure that the shadow registers have been updated with the shifted time.

Bit 15 CALP: Increase frequency of RTC by 488.5 ppm
0: No RTCCLK pulses are added.
1: One RTCCLK pulse is effectively inserted every 211 pulses (frequency increased by
488.5 ppm).
This feature is intended to be used in conjunction with CALM, which lowers the frequency of
the calendar with a fine resolution. if the input frequency is 32768 Hz, the number of RTCCLK
pulses added during a 32-second window is calculated as follows: (512 * CALP) - CALM.
Refer to Section 23.3.12: RTC smooth digital calibration.
Bit 14 CALW8: Use an 8-second calibration cycle period
When CALW8 is set to ‘1’, the 8-second calibration cycle period is selected.
Note: CALM[1:0] are stuck at “00” when CALW8=’1’. Refer to Section 23.3.12: RTC smooth
digital calibration.
Bit 13 CALW16: Use a 16-second calibration cycle period
When CALW16 is set to ‘1’, the 16-second calibration cycle period is selected.This bit must
not be set to ‘1’ if CALW8=1.
Note: CALM[0] is stuck at ‘0’ when CALW16=’1’. Refer to Section 23.3.12: RTC smooth
digital calibration.
Bits 12:9 Reserved, must be kept at reset value
Bits 8:0 CALM[8:0]: Calibration minus
The frequency of the calendar is reduced by masking CALM out of 220 RTCCLK pulses (32
seconds if the input frequency is 32768 Hz). This decreases the frequency of the calendar
with a resolution of 0.9537 ppm.
To increase the frequency of the calendar, this feature should be used in conjunction with
CALP. See Section 23.3.12: RTC smooth digital calibration on page 518.

I2C functional 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), Fast-mode (up to 400 kHz) or Fast-mode Plus (up to
1 MHz) I2C bus.
This interface can also be connected to a SMBus with the data pin (SDA) and clock pin
(SCL).

The I2C is clocked by an independent clock source which allows to the I2C to operate
independently from the PCLK frequency.
This independent clock source can be selected for either of the following two clock sources:
•

HSI: high speed internal oscillator (default value)

•

SYSCLK: system clock

Refer to Section 7: Reset and clock control (RCC) for more details.
I2C I/Os support 20 mA output current drive for Fast-mode Plus operation. This is enabled
by setting the driving capability control bits for SCL and SDA in Section 9.1.1: SYSCFG
configuration register 1 (SYSCFG_CFGR1).

24.4.2

Inter-integrated circuit (I2C) interface

I2C clock requirements
The I2C kernel is clocked by I2CCLK.
The I2CCLK period tI2CCLK must respect the following conditions:
tI2CCLK < (tLOW - tfilters ) / 4 and tI2CCLK < tHIGH
with:
tLOW: SCL low time and tHIGH : SCL high time
tfilters: when enabled, sum of the delays brought by the analog filter and by the digital filter.
Analog filter delay is maximum 260 ns. Digital filter delay is DNF x tI2CCLK.
The PCLK clock period tPCLK must respect the following condition:
tPCLK < 4/3 tSCL
with tSCL: SCL period

Caution:

When the I2C kernel is clocked by PCLK. PCLK must respect the conditions for tI2CCLK.

24.4.3

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 when it generates a START condition, and from master to slave if an arbitration loss
or a STOP generation occurs, allowing multimaster 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 can be enabled or disabled
by software. The reserved SMBus addresses can also be enabled 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.

Inter-integrated circuit (I2C) interface

I2C initialization
Enabling and disabling the peripheral
The I2C peripheral clock must be configured and enabled in the clock controller (refer to
Section 7: Reset and clock control (RCC)).
Then the I2C can be enabled by setting the PE bit in the I2C_CR1 register.
When the I2C is disabled (PE=0), the I2C performs a software reset. Refer to
Section 24.4.5: Software reset for more details.

Noise filters
Before enabling the I2C peripheral by setting the PE bit in I2C_CR1 register, the user must
configure the noise filters, if needed. By default, an analog noise filter is present on the SDA
and SCL inputs. This analog filter is compliant with the I2C specification which requires the
suppression of spikes with a pulse width up to 50 ns in Fast-mode and Fast-mode Plus. The
user can disable this analog filter by setting the ANFOFF bit, and/or select a digital filter by
configuring the DNF[3:0] bit in the I2C_CR1 register.
When the digital filter is enabled, the level of the SCL or the SDA line is internally changed
only if it remains stable for more than DNF x I2CCLK periods. This allows to suppress
spikes with a programmable length of 1 to 15 I2CCLK periods.

I2C timings
The timings must be configured in order to guarantee a correct data hold and setup time,
used in master and slave modes. This is done by programming the PRESC[3:0],
SCLDEL[3:0] and SDADEL[3:0] bits in the I2C_TIMINGR register.
The STM32CubeMX tool calculates and provides the I2C_TIMINGR content in the I2C

Inter-integrated circuit (I2C) interface
•

When the SCL falling edge is internally detected, a delay is inserted before sending
SDA output. This delay is tSDADEL = SDADEL x tPRESC + tI2CCLK where tPRESC = (PRESC+1)
x tI2CCLK.
TSDADEL impacts the hold time tHD;DAT.

The total SDA output delay is:
tSYNC1 + {[SDADEL x (PRESC+1) + 1] x tI2CCLK }
tSYNC1 duration depends on these parameters:

–

SCL falling slope

–

When enabled, input delay brought by the analog filter: tAF(min) < tAF < tAF(max) ns.

–

When enabled, input delay brought by the digital filter: tDNF = DNF x tI2CCLK

–

Delay due to SCL synchronization to I2CCLK clock (2 to 3 I2CCLK periods)

In order to bridge the undefined region of the SCL falling edge, the user must program
SDADEL in such a way that:
{tf (max) +tHD;DAT (min) -tAF(min) - [(DNF +3) x tI2CCLK]} / {(PRESC +1) x tI2CCLK } ≤ SDADEL
SDADEL ≤ {tHD;DAT (max) -tAF(max) - [(DNF+4) x tI2CCLK]} / {(PRESC +1) x tI2CCLK }
Note:

tAF(min) / tAF(max) are part of the equation only when the analog filter is enabled. Refer to
device datasheet for tAF values.
The maximum tHD;DAT could be 3.45 µs, 0.9 µs and 0.45 µs for Standard-mode, Fast-mode
and Fast-mode Plus, but must be less than the maximum of tVD;DAT by a transition time.
This maximum must only be met if the device does not stretch the LOW period (tLOW) of the
SCL signal. If the clock stretches the SCL, the data must be valid by the set-up time before
it releases the clock.
The SDA rising edge is usually the worst case, so in this case the previous equation
becomes:
SDADEL ≤ {tVD;DAT (max) -tr (max) -260 ns - [(DNF+4) x tI2CCLK]} / {(PRESC +1) x tI2CCLK }.

Note:

This condition can be violated when NOSTRETCH=0, because the device stretches SCL
low to guarantee the set-up time, according to the SCLDEL value.
Refer to Table 69: I2C-SMBUS specification data setup and hold times for tf, tr, tHD;DAT and
tVD;DAT standard values.
•

After tSDADEL delay, or after sending SDA output in case the slave had to stretch the
clock because the data was not yet written in I2C_TXDR register, SCL line is kept at
low level during the setup time. This setup time is tSCLDEL = (SCLDEL+1) x tPRESC where
tPRESC = (PRESC+1) x tI2CCLK.
tSCLDEL impacts the setup time tSU;DAT .

In order to bridge the undefined region of the SDA transition (rising edge usually worst
case), the user must program SCLDEL in such a way that:
{[tr (max) + tSU;DAT (min)] / [(PRESC+1)] x tI2CCLK]} - 1 <= SCLDEL
Refer to Table 69: I2C-SMBUS specification data setup and hold times for tr and tSU;DAT
standard values.
The SDA and SCL transition time values to be used are the ones in the application. Using
the maximum values from the standard increases the constraints for the SDADEL and
SCLDEL calculation, but ensures the feature whatever the application.

Inter-integrated circuit (I2C) interface
Note:

RM0313

At every clock pulse, after SCL falling edge detection, the I2C master or slave stretches SCL
low during at least [(SDADEL+SCLDEL+1) x (PRESC+1) + 1] x tI2CCLK, in both transmission
and reception modes. In transmission mode, in case the data is not yet written in I2C_TXDR
when SDADEL counter is finished, the I2C keeps on stretching SCL low until the next data
is written. Then new data MSB is sent on SDA output, and SCLDEL counter starts,
continuing stretching SCL low to guarantee the data setup time.
If NOSTRETCH=1 in slave mode, the SCL is not stretched. Consequently the SDADEL
must be programmed in such a way to guarantee also a sufficient setup time.

Additionally, in master mode, the SCL clock high and low levels must be configured by
programming the PRESC[3:0], SCLH[7:0] and SCLL[7:0] bits in the I2C_TIMINGR register.
•

When the SCL falling edge is internally detected, a delay is inserted before releasing
the SCL output. This delay is tSCLL = (SCLL+1) x tPRESC where tPRESC = (PRESC+1) x
tI2CCLK.
tSCLL impacts the SCL low time tLOW .

•

When the SCL rising edge is internally detected, a delay is inserted before forcing the
SCL output to low level. This delay is tSCLH = (SCLH+1) x tPRESC where tPRESC =
(PRESC+1) x tI2CCLK. tSCLH impacts the SCL high time tHIGH .

Refer to I2C master initialization for more details.
Caution:

Changing the timing configuration is not allowed when the I2C is enabled.
The I2C slave NOSTRETCH mode must also be configured before enabling the peripheral.
Refer to I2C slave initialization for more details.

Caution:

Software reset
A software reset can be performed by clearing the PE bit in the I2C_CR1 register. In that
case I2C lines SCL and SDA are released. Internal states machines are reset and
communication control bits, as well as status bits come back to their reset value. The
configuration registers are not impacted.
Here is the list of impacted register bits:
1.

I2C_CR2 register: START, STOP, NACK

2.

I2C_ISR register: BUSY, TXE, TXIS, RXNE, ADDR, NACKF, TCR, TC, STOPF, BERR,
ARLO, OVR

and in addition when the SMBus feature is supported:
1.

I2C_CR2 register: PECBYTE

2.

I2C_ISR register: PECERR, TIMEOUT, ALERT

PE must be kept low during at least 3 APB clock cycles in order to perform the software
reset. This is ensured by writing the following software sequence: - Write PE=0 - Check
PE=0 - Write PE=1.

Data transfer
The data transfer is managed through transmit and receive data registers and a shift
register.

Reception
The SDA input fills the shift register. After the 8th SCL pulse (when the complete data byte is
received), the shift register is copied into I2C_RXDR register if it is empty (RXNE=0). If
RXNE=1, meaning that the previous received data byte has not yet been read, the SCL line
is stretched low until I2C_RXDR is read. The stretch is inserted between the 8th and 9th
SCL pulse (before the Acknowledge pulse).

Hardware transfer management
The I2C has a byte counter embedded in hardware in order to manage byte transfer and to
close the communication in various modes such as:
–

NACK, STOP and ReSTART generation in master mode

–

ACK control in slave receiver mode

–

PEC generation/checking when SMBus feature is supported

The byte counter is always used in master mode. By default it is disabled in slave mode, but
it can be enabled by software by setting the SBC (Slave Byte Control) bit in the I2C_CR2
register.
The number of bytes to be transferred is programmed in the NBYTES[7:0] bit field in the
I2C_CR2 register. If the number of bytes to be transferred (NBYTES) is greater than 255, or
if a receiver wants to control the acknowledge value of a received data byte, the reload
mode must be selected by setting the RELOAD bit in the I2C_CR2 register. In this mode,
TCR flag is set when the number of bytes programmed in NBYTES has been transferred,
and an interrupt is generated if TCIE is set. SCL is stretched as long as TCR flag is set. TCR
is cleared by software when NBYTES is written to a non-zero value.
When the NBYTES counter is reloaded with the last number of bytes, RELOAD bit must be
cleared.

DocID022448 Rev 5

561/904

Inter-integrated circuit (I2C) interface

RM0313

When RELOAD=0 in master mode, the counter can be used in 2 modes:

Caution:

•

Automatic end mode (AUTOEND = ‘1’ in the I2C_CR2 register). In this mode, the
master automatically sends a STOP condition once the number of bytes programmed
in the NBYTES[7:0] bit field has been transferred.

•

Software end mode (AUTOEND = ‘0’ in the I2C_CR2 register). In this mode, software
action is expected once the number of bytes programmed in the NBYTES[7:0] bit field
has been transferred; the TC flag is set and an interrupt is generated if the TCIE bit is
set. The SCL signal is stretched as long as the TC flag is set. The TC flag is cleared by
software when the START or STOP bit is set in the I2C_CR2 register. This mode must
be used when the master wants to send a RESTART condition.

The AUTOEND bit has no effect when the RELOAD bit is set.

I2C slave mode
I2C slave initialization
In order to work in slave mode, the user must enable at least one slave address. Two
registers I2C_OAR1 and I2C_OAR2 are available in order to program the slave own
addresses OA1 and OA2.
•

OA1 can be configured either in 7-bit mode (by default) or in 10-bit addressing mode by
setting the OA1MODE bit in the I2C_OAR1 register.
OA1 is enabled by setting the OA1EN bit in the I2C_OAR1 register.

•

If additional slave addresses are required, the 2nd slave address OA2 can be
configured. Up to 7 OA2 LSB can be masked by configuring the OA2MSK[2:0] bits in
the I2C_OAR2 register. Therefore for OA2MSK configured from 1 to 6, only OA2[7:2],
OA2[7:3], OA2[7:4], OA2[7:5], OA2[7:6] or OA2[7] are compared with the received
address. As soon as OA2MSK is not equal to 0, the address comparator for OA2
excludes the I2C reserved addresses (0000 XXX and 1111 XXX), which are not
acknowledged. If OA2MSK=7, all received 7-bit addresses are acknowledged (except
reserved addresses). OA2 is always a 7-bit address.
These reserved addresses can be acknowledged if they are enabled by the specific
enable bit, if they are programmed in the I2C_OAR1 or I2C_OAR2 register with
OA2MSK=0.
OA2 is enabled by setting the OA2EN bit in the I2C_OAR2 register.

•

The General Call address is enabled by setting the GCEN bit in the I2C_CR1 register.

When the I2C is selected by one of its enabled addresses, the ADDR interrupt status flag is
set, and an interrupt is generated if the ADDRIE bit is set.

562/904

DocID022448 Rev 5

RM0313

Inter-integrated circuit (I2C) interface
By default, the slave uses its clock stretching capability, which means that it stretches the
SCL signal at low level when needed, in order to perform software actions. If the master
does not support clock stretching, the I2C must be configured with NOSTRETCH=1 in the
I2C_CR1 register.
After receiving an ADDR interrupt, if several addresses are enabled the user must read the
ADDCODE[6:0] bits in the I2C_ISR register in order to check which address matched. DIR
flag must also be checked in order to know the transfer direction.

Slave clock stretching (NOSTRETCH = 0)
In default mode, the I2C slave stretches the SCL clock in the following situations:
•

When the ADDR flag is set: the received address matches with one of the enabled
slave addresses. This stretch is released when the ADDR flag is cleared by software
setting the ADDRCF bit.

•

In transmission, if the previous data transmission is completed and no new data is
written in I2C_TXDR register, or if the first data byte is not written when the ADDR flag
is cleared (TXE=1). This stretch is released when the data is written to the I2C_TXDR
register.

•

In reception when the I2C_RXDR register is not read yet and a new data reception is
completed. This stretch is released when I2C_RXDR is read.

•

When TCR = 1 in Slave Byte Control mode, reload mode (SBC=1 and RELOAD=1),
meaning that the last data byte has been transferred. This stretch is released when
then TCR is cleared by writing a non-zero value in the NBYTES[7:0] field.

•

After SCL falling edge detection, the I2C stretches SCL low during
[(SDADEL+SCLDEL+1) x (PRESC+1) + 1] x tI2CCLK.

Slave without clock stretching (NOSTRETCH = 1)
When NOSTRETCH = 1 in the I2C_CR1 register, the I2C slave does not stretch the SCL
signal.
•

The SCL clock is not stretched while the ADDR flag is set.

•

In transmission, the data must be written in the I2C_TXDR register before the first SCL
pulse corresponding to its transfer occurs. If not, an underrun occurs, the OVR flag is
set in the I2C_ISR register and an interrupt is generated if the ERRIE bit is set in the
I2C_CR1 register. The OVR flag is also set when the first data transmission starts and
the STOPF bit is still set (has not been cleared). Therefore, if the user clears the
STOPF flag of the previous transfer only after writing the first data to be transmitted in
the next transfer, he ensures that the OVR status is provided, even for the first data to
be transmitted.

•

In reception, the data must be read from the I2C_RXDR register before the 9th SCL
pulse (ACK pulse) of the next data byte occurs. If not an overrun occurs, the OVR flag
is set in the I2C_ISR register and an interrupt is generated if the ERRIE bit is set in the
I2C_CR1 register.

Slave Byte Control mode
In order to allow byte ACK control in slave reception mode, Slave Byte Control mode must
be enabled by setting the SBC bit in the I2C_CR1 register. This is required to be compliant
with SMBus standards.
Reload mode must be selected in order to allow byte ACK control in slave reception mode
(RELOAD=1). To get control of each byte, NBYTES must be initialized to 0x1 in the ADDR
interrupt subroutine, and reloaded to 0x1 after each received byte. When the byte is
received, the TCR bit is set, stretching the SCL signal low between the 8th and 9th SCL
pulses. The user can read the data from the I2C_RXDR register, and then decide to
acknowledge it or not by configuring the ACK bit in the I2C_CR2 register. The SCL stretch is
released by programming NBYTES to a non-zero value: the acknowledge or notacknowledge is sent and next byte can be received.
NBYTES can be loaded with a value greater than 0x1, and in this case, the reception flow is
continuous during NBYTES data reception.
Note:

The SBC bit must be configured when the I2C is disabled, or when the slave is not
addressed, or when ADDR=1.
The RELOAD bit value can be changed when ADDR=1, or when TCR=1.

Caution:

564/904

Slave Byte Control mode is not compatible with NOSTRETCH mode. Setting SBC when
NOSTRETCH=1 is not allowed.

Slave transmitter
A transmit interrupt status (TXIS) is generated when the I2C_TXDR register becomes
empty. An interrupt is generated if the TXIE bit is set in the I2C_CR1 register.
The TXIS bit is cleared when the I2C_TXDR register is written with the next data byte to be
transmitted.
When a NACK is received, the NACKF bit is set in the I2C_ISR register and an interrupt is
generated if the NACKIE bit is set in the I2C_CR1 register. The slave automatically releases
the SCL and SDA lines in order to let the master perform a STOP or a RESTART condition.
The TXIS bit is not set when a NACK is received.
When a STOP is received and the STOPIE bit is set in the I2C_CR1 register, the STOPF
flag is set in the I2C_ISR register and an interrupt is generated. In most applications, the
SBC bit is usually programmed to ‘0’. In this case, If TXE = 0 when the slave address is
received (ADDR=1), the user can choose either to send the content of the I2C_TXDR
register as the first data byte, or to flush the I2C_TXDR register by setting the TXE bit in
order to program a new data byte.
In Slave Byte Control mode (SBC=1), the number of bytes to be transmitted must be
programmed in NBYTES in the address match interrupt subroutine (ADDR=1). In this case,

DocID022448 Rev 5

RM0313

the number of TXIS events during the transfer corresponds to the value programmed in
NBYTES.
Caution:

When NOSTRETCH=1, the SCL clock is not stretched while the ADDR flag is set, so the
user cannot flush the I2C_TXDR register content in the ADDR subroutine, in order to
program the first data byte. The first data byte to be sent must be previously programmed in
the I2C_TXDR register:
•

This data can be the data written in the last TXIS event of the previous transmission
message.

•

If this data byte is not the one to be sent, the I2C_TXDR register can be flushed by
setting the TXE bit in order to program a new data byte. The STOPF bit must be
cleared only after these actions, in order to guarantee that they are executed before the
first data transmission starts, following the address acknowledge.
If STOPF is still set when the first data transmission starts, an underrun error will be
generated (the OVR flag is set).
If a TXIS event is needed, (Transmit Interrupt or Transmit DMA request), the user must
set the TXIS bit in addition to the TXE bit, in order to generate a TXIS event.

These values can be inverted, separately for each signal, through polarity configuration
control.
An Idle character is interpreted as an entire frame of “1”s (the number of “1”s includes 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 2 stop bits.
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.

25.5.2

RM0313

USART transmitter
The transmitter can send data words of either 8 or 9 bits depending on the M bit status. The
Transmit Enable bit (TE) must be set in order to activate the transmitter function. The data in
the transmit shift register is output on the TX pin and the corresponding clock pulses are
output on the CK pin.

Character transmission
During an USART transmission, data shifts out least significant bit first (default
configuration) on the TX pin. In this mode, the USART_TDR register consists of a buffer
(TDR) between the internal bus and the transmit shift register (see Figure 197).
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: 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 stop bits.
Note:

The TE bit must be set before writing the data to be transmitted to the USART_TDR.
The TE bit should not be reset during transmission of data. Resetting the TE bit during the
transmission will corrupt the data on the TX pin as the baud rate counters will get frozen.
The current data being transmitted will be lost.
An idle frame will be sent after the TE bit is enabled.
Configurable stop bits
The number of stop bits to be transmitted with every character can be programmed in
Control register 2, bits 13,12.
•

1 stop bit: This is the default value of number of stop bits.

•

2 stop bits: This will be supported by normal USART, Single-wire and Modem modes.

•

1.5 stop bits: To be used in Smartcard mode.

•

0.5 stop bit: To be used when receiving data in Smartcard mode.

An idle frame transmission will include the stop bits.
A break transmission will be 10 low bits (when M0= 0) or 11 low bits (when M0= 1) followed
by 2 stop bits (see Figure 199). It is not possible to transmit long breaks (break of length
greater than 10/11 low bits).

Character transmission procedure
1.

Program the M bit in USART_CR1 to define the word length.

2.

Select the desired baud rate using the USART_BRR register.

3.

Program the number of stop bits in USART_CR2.

4.

Enable the USART by writing the UE bit in USART_CR1 register to 1.

5.

Select DMA enable (DMAT) in USART_CR3 if multibuffer communication is to take
place. Configure the DMA register as explained in multibuffer communication.

6.

Set the TE bit in USART_CR1 to send an idle frame as first transmission.

7.

Write the data to send in the USART_TDR register (this clears the TXE bit). Repeat this
for each data to be transmitted in case of single buffer.

8.

After writing the last data into the USART_TDR register, wait until TC=1. This indicates
that the transmission of the last frame is complete. This is required for instance when
the USART is disabled or enters the Halt mode to avoid corrupting the last
transmission.

Single byte communication
Clearing the TXE bit is always performed by a write to the transmit data register.
The TXE bit is set by hardware and it indicates:
•

The data has been moved from the USART_TDR register to the shift register and the
data transmission has started.

•

The USART_TDR register is empty.

•

The next data can be written in the USART_TDR register without overwriting the
previous data.

This flag generates an interrupt if the TXEIE bit is set.
When a transmission is taking place, a write instruction to the USART_TDR register stores
the data in the TDR register; next, the data is copied in the shift register at the end of the
currently ongoing transmission.

DocID022448 Rev 5

627/904
685

Universal synchronous asynchronous receiver transmitter (USART)

RM0313

When no transmission is taking place, a write instruction to the USART_TDR register places
the data in the shift register, the data transmission starts, and the TXE bit is set.
If a frame is transmitted (after the stop bit) and the TXE bit is set, the TC bit goes high. An
interrupt is generated if the TCIE bit is set in the USART_CR1 register.
After writing the last data in the USART_TDR register, it is mandatory to wait for TC=1
before disabling the USART or causing the microcontroller to enter the low-power mode
(see Figure 200: TC/TXE behavior when transmitting).

Break characters
Setting the SBKRQ bit transmits a break character. The break frame length depends on the
M bit (see Figure 198).
If a ‘1’ is written to the SBKRQ bit, a break character is sent on the TX line after completing
the current character transmission. The SBKF bit is set by the write operation and it is reset
by hardware when the break character is completed (during the stop bits after the break
character). The USART inserts a logic 1 signal (STOP) for the duration of 2 bits at the end of
the break frame to guarantee the recognition of the start bit of the next frame.
In the case the application needs to send the break character following all previously
inserted data, including the ones not yet transmitted, the software should wait for the TXE
flag assertion before setting the SBKRQ bit.

Idle characters
Setting the TE bit drives the USART to send an idle frame before the first data frame.

25.5.3

USART receiver
The USART can receive data words of either 8 or 9 bits depending on the M bit in the
USART_CR1 register.

Start bit detection
The start bit detection sequence is the same when oversampling by 16 or by 8.
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.

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.
The start bit is confirmed (RXNE flag set, interrupt generated if RXNEIE=1) if the 3 sampled
bits are at 0 (first sampling on the 3rd, 5th and 7th bits finds the 3 bits at 0 and second
sampling on the 8th, 9th and 10th bits also finds the 3 bits at 0).
The start bit is validated (RXNE flag set, interrupt generated if RXNEIE=1) but the NF noise
flag is set if,
a)

for both samplings, 2 out of the 3 sampled bits are at 0 (sampling on the 3rd, 5th
and 7th bits and sampling on the 8th, 9th and 10th bits)

or
b)

for one of the samplings (sampling on the 3rd, 5th and 7th bits or sampling on the
8th, 9th and 10th bits), 2 out of the 3 bits are found at 0.

If neither conditions a. or b. are met, the start detection aborts and the receiver returns to the
idle state (no flag is set).

Character reception
During an USART reception, data shifts in least significant bit first (default configuration)
through the RX pin. In this mode, the USART_RDR register consists of a buffer (RDR)
between the internal bus and the receive shift register.
Character reception procedure
1.

Program the M bit in USART_CR1 to define the word length.

2.

Select the desired baud rate using the baud rate register USART_BRR

3.

Program the number of stop bits in USART_CR2.

4.

Enable the USART by writing the UE bit in USART_CR1 register to 1.

5.

Select DMA enable (DMAR) in USART_CR3 if multibuffer communication is to take
place. Configure the DMA register as explained in multibuffer communication.

6.

Set the RE bit USART_CR1. This enables the receiver which begins searching for a
start bit.

When a character is received:
•

The RXNE bit is set to indicate that the content of the shift register is transferred to the
RDR. In other words, data has been received and can be read (as well as its
associated error flags).

•

An interrupt is generated if the RXNEIE bit is set.

•

The error flags can be set if a frame error, noise or an overrun error has been detected
during reception. PE flag can also be set with RXNE.

•

In multibuffer, RXNE is set after every byte received and is cleared by the DMA read of
the Receive data Register.

•

In single buffer mode, clearing the RXNE bit is performed by a software read to the
USART_RDR register. The RXNE flag can also be cleared by writing 1 to the RXFRQ
in the USART_RQR register. The RXNE bit must be cleared before the end of the
reception of the next character to avoid an overrun error.

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 for a received data
character plus an interrupt if the IDLEIE bit is set.

630/904

DocID022448 Rev 5

RM0313

Universal synchronous asynchronous receiver transmitter (USART)

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.
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:

Note:

•

The ORE bit is set.

•

The RDR content will not be lost. The previous data is available when a read to
USART_RDR is performed.

•

The shift register will be overwritten. After that point, any data received during overrun
is lost.

•

An interrupt is generated if either the RXNEIE bit is set or EIE bit is set.

•

The ORE bit is reset by setting the ORECF bit in the ICR register.

The ORE bit, when set, indicates that at least 1 data has been lost. There are two
possibilities:
- if RXNE=1, then the last valid data is stored in the receive register RDR and can be read,
- if RXNE=0, then it means that the last valid data has already been read and thus there is
nothing to be read in the RDR. This case can occur when the last valid data is read in the
RDR at the same time as the new (and lost) data is received.

Selecting the clock source and the proper oversampling method
The choice of the clock source is done through the Clock Control system (see Section Reset
and clock control (RCC))). The clock source must be chosen before enabling the USART
(by setting the UE bit).
The choice of the clock source must be done according to two criteria:
•

Possible use of the USART in low-power mode

•

Communication speed.

The clock source frequency is fCK.
When the dual clock domain with the wakeup from Stop mode is supported, the clock
source can be one of the following sources: PCLK (default), LSE, HSI or SYSCLK.
Otherwise, the USART clock source is PCLK.
Choosing LSE or HSI as clock source may allow the USART to receive data while the MCU
is in low-power mode. Depending on the received data and wakeup mode selection, the
USART wakes up the MCU, when needed, in order to transfer the received data by software
reading the USART_RDR register or by DMA.
For the other clock sources, the system must be active in order to allow USART
communication.
The communication speed range (specially the maximum communication speed) is also
determined by the clock source.
The receiver implements different user-configurable oversampling techniques for data
recovery by discriminating between valid incoming data and noise. This allows a trade-off
between the maximum communication speed and noise/clock inaccuracy immunity.

The oversampling method can be selected by programming the OVER8 bit in the
USART_CR1 register and can be either 16 or 8 times the baud rate clock (Figure 202 and
Figure 203).
Depending on the application:
•

Select oversampling by 8 (OVER8=1) to achieve higher speed (up to fCK/8). In this
case the maximum receiver tolerance to clock deviation is reduced (refer to
Section 25.5.5: Tolerance of the USART receiver to clock deviation on page 637)

•

Select oversampling by 16 (OVER8=0) to increase the tolerance of the receiver to
clock deviations. In this case, the maximum speed is limited to maximum fCK/16 where
fCK is the clock source frequency.

Programming the ONEBIT bit in the USART_CR3 register selects the method used to
evaluate the logic level. There are two options:
•

The majority vote of the three samples in the center of the received bit. In this case,
when the 3 samples used for the majority vote are not equal, the NF bit is set

•

A single sample in the center of the received bit
Depending on the application:
–

select the three samples’ majority vote method (ONEBIT=0) when operating in a
noisy environment and reject the data when a noise is detected (refer to
Figure 84) because this indicates that a glitch occurred during the sampling.

–

select the single sample method (ONEBIT=1) when the line is noise-free to
increase the receiver’s tolerance to clock deviations (see Section 25.5.5:
Tolerance of the USART receiver to clock deviation on page 637). In this case the
NF bit will never be set.

When noise is detected in a frame:
•

The NF bit is set at the rising edge of the RXNE bit.

•

The invalid data is transferred from the Shift register to the USART_RDR 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. In case of
multibuffer communication an interrupt will be issued if the EIE bit is set in the
USART_CR3 register.

The NF bit is reset by setting NFCF bit in ICR register.
Note:

632/904

Oversampling by 8 is not available in LIN, Smartcard and IrDA modes. In those modes, the
OVER8 bit is forced to ‘0’ by hardware.

Framing error
A framing error is detected when the stop bit is not recognized on reception at the expected
time, following either a de-synchronization 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_RDR 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. In case of
multibuffer communication an interrupt will be issued if the EIE bit is set in the
USART_CR3 register.

The FE bit is reset by writing 1 to the FECF in the USART_ICR register.

Configurable stop bits during reception
The number of stop bits to be received can be configured through the control bits of Control
Register 2 - it can be either 1 or 2 in normal mode and 0.5 or 1.5 in Smartcard mode.

634/904

•

0.5 stop bit (reception in Smartcard mode): No sampling is done for 0.5 stop bit. As
a consequence, no framing error and no break frame can be detected when 0.5 stop bit
is selected.

•

1 stop bit: Sampling for 1 stop Bit is done on the 8th, 9th and 10th samples.

•

1.5 stop bits (Smartcard mode): When transmitting in Smartcard mode, the device
must check that the data is correctly sent. Thus the receiver block must be enabled (RE
=1 in the USART_CR1 register) and the stop bit is checked to test if the smartcard has
detected a parity error. In the event of a parity error, the smartcard forces the data
signal low during the sampling - NACK signal-, which is flagged as a framing error.
Then, the FE flag is set with the RXNE at the end of the 1.5 stop bits. Sampling for 1.5
stop bits is done on the 16th, 17th and 18th samples (1 baud clock period after the
beginning of the stop bit). The 1.5 stop bits can be decomposed into 2 parts: one 0.5
baud clock period during which nothing happens, followed by 1 normal stop bit period
during which sampling occurs halfway through. Refer to Section 25.5.13: USART
Smartcard mode on page 648 for more details.

•

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.

USART baud rate generation
The baud rate for the receiver and transmitter (Rx and Tx) are both set to the same value as
programmed in the USART_BRR register.
Equation 1: Baud rate for standard USART (SPI mode included) (OVER8 = 0 or 1)
In case of oversampling by 16, the equation is:
f CK
Tx/Rx baud = -------------------------------USARTDIV

In case of oversampling by 8, the equation is:
2 × f CK
Tx/Rx baud = -------------------------------USARTDIV

Equation 2: Baud rate in Smartcard, LIN and IrDA modes (OVER8 = 0)
In Smartcard, LIN and IrDA modes, only Oversampling by 16 is supported:
f CK
Tx/Rx baud = -------------------------------USARTDIV

USARTDIV is an unsigned fixed point number that is coded on the USART_BRR register.

Note:

•

When OVER8 = 0, BRR = USARTDIV.

•

When OVER8 = 1
–

BRR[2:0] = USARTDIV[3:0] shifted 1 bit to the right.

–

BRR[3] must be kept cleared.

–

BRR[15:4] = USARTDIV[15:4]

The baud counters are updated to the new value in the baud registers after a write operation
to USART_BRR. Hence the baud rate register value should not be changed during
communication.
In case of oversampling by 16 or 8, USARTDIV must be greater than or equal to 0d16.

How to derive USARTDIV from USART_BRR register values

USARTDIV = 8 000 000/9600

Universal synchronous asynchronous receiver transmitter (USART)

Tolerance of the USART receiver to clock deviation
The asynchronous receiver of the USART works correctly only if the total clock system
deviation is less than the tolerance of the USART receiver. 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 + DWU < USART receiver′ s tolerance

where
DWU is the error due to sampling point deviation when the wakeup from Stop mode is
used.
when M[1:0] = 01:
t WUUSART
DWU = --------------------------11 × Tbit

when M[1:0] = 00:
t WUUSART
DWU = --------------------------10 × Tbit

when M[1:0] = 10:
t WUUSART
DWU = --------------------------9 × Tbit

tWUUSART is the time between detecting the wakeup event and both clock (requested
by the peripheral) and regulator ready.
The USART receiver can receive data correctly at up to the maximum tolerated deviation
specified in Table 86 and Table 86 depending on the following choices:
•

10- or 11-bit character length defined by the M bit in the USART_CR1 register

•

Oversampling by 8 or 16 defined by the OVER8 bit in the USART_CR1 register

•

Bits BRR[3:0] of USART_BRR register are equal to or different from 0000.

•

Use of 1 bit or 3 bits to sample the data, depending on the value of the ONEBIT bit in
the USART_CR3 register.

25.5.6

USART auto baud rate detection
The USART is able to detect and automatically set the USART_BRR register value based
on the reception of one character. Automatic baud rate detection is useful under two
circumstances:
•

The communication speed of the system is not known in advance

•

The system is using a relatively low accuracy clock source and this mechanism allows
the correct baud rate to be obtained without measuring the clock deviation.

The clock source frequency must be compatible with the expected communication speed
(when oversampling by 16, the baud rate is between fCK/65535 and fCK/16. when
oversampling by 8, the baudrate is between fCK/65535 and fCK/8).
Before activating the auto baud rate detection, the auto baud rate detection mode must be
chosen. There are various modes based on different character patterns.
They can be chosen through the ABRMOD[1:0] field in the USART_CR2 register. In these
auto baud rate modes, the baud rate is measured several times during the synchronization
data reception and each measurement is compared to the previous one.
These modes are:
•

Mode 0: Any character starting with a bit at 1. In this case the USART measures the
duration of the Start bit (falling edge to rising edge).

•

Mode 1: Any character starting with a 10xx bit pattern. In this case, the USART
measures the duration of the Start and of the 1st data bit. The measurement is done
falling edge to falling edge, ensuring better accuracy in the case of slow signal slopes.

•

Mode 2: A 0x7F character frame (it may be a 0x7F character in LSB first mode or a
0xFE in MSB first mode). In this case, the baudrate is updated first at the end of the
start bit (BRs), then at the end of bit 6 (based on the measurement done from falling
edge to falling edge: BR6). Bit 0 to bit 6 are sampled at BRs while further bits of the
character are sampled at BR6.

•

Mode 3: A 0x55 character frame. In this case, the baudrate is updated first at the end
of the start bit (BRs), then at the end of bit 0 (based on the measurement done from
falling edge to falling edge: BR0), and finally at the end of bit 6 (BR6). Bit 0 is sampled
at BRs, bit 1 to bit 6 are sampled at BR0, and further bits of the character are sampled
at BR6.
In parallel, another check is performed for each intermediate transition of RX line. An
error is generated if the transitions on RX are not sufficiently synchronized with the
receiver (the receiver being based on the baud rate calculated on bit 0).

638/904

DocID022448 Rev 5

RM0313

Universal synchronous asynchronous receiver transmitter (USART)
Prior to activating auto baud rate detection, the USART_BRR register must be initialized by
writing a non-zero baud rate value.
The automatic baud rate detection is activated by setting the ABREN bit in the USART_CR2
register. The USART will then wait for the first character on the RX line. The auto baud rate
operation completion is indicated by the setting of the ABRF flag in the USART_ISR
register. If the line is noisy, the correct baud rate detection cannot be guaranteed. In this
case the BRR value may be corrupted and the ABRE error flag will be set. This also
happens if the communication speed is not compatible with the automatic baud rate
detection range (bit duration not between 16 and 65536 clock periods (oversampling by 16)
and not between 8 and 65536 clock periods (oversampling by 8)).
The RXNE interrupt will signal the end of the operation.
At any later time, the auto baud rate detection may be relaunched by resetting the ABRF
flag (by writing a 0).

Note:

If the USART is disabled (UE=0) during an auto baud rate operation, the BRR value may be
corrupted.

25.5.7

Multiprocessor communication using USART
In multiprocessor communication, the following bits are to be kept cleared:
•

LINEN bit in the USART_CR2 register,

•

HDSEL, IREN and SCEN bits in the USART_CR3 register.

It is possible to perform multiprocessor communication with the USART (with several
USARTs connected in a network). For instance one of the USARTs can be the master, its TX
output connected to the RX inputs of the other USARTs. 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 order to use the mute mode feature, the MME bit must be set in the USART_CR1
register.
In mute mode:
•

None of the reception status bits can be set.

•

All the receive interrupts are inhibited.

•

The RWU bit in USART_ISR register is set to 1. RWU can be controlled automatically
by hardware or by software, through the MMRQ bit in the USART_RQR register, 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.

The USART enters mute mode when the MMRQ bit is written to 1 and the RWU is
automatically set.
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_ISR register. An example of mute mode behavior using
Idle line detection is given in Figure 204.

Note:

If the MMRQ is set while the IDLE character has already elapsed, mute mode will not be
entered (RWU is not set).
If the USART is activated while the line is IDLE, the idle state is detected after the duration
of one IDLE frame (not only after the reception of one character frame).

4-bit/7-bit address mark detection (WAKE=1)
In this mode, bytes are recognized as addresses if their MSB is a ‘1’ otherwise they are
considered as data. In an address byte, the address of the targeted receiver is put in the 4
or 7 LSBs. The choice of 7 or 4-bit address detection is done using the ADDM7 bit. This 4bit/7-bit word is compared by the receiver with its own address which is programmed in the
ADD bits in the USART_CR2 register.
Note:

In 7-bit and 9-bit data modes, address detection is done on 6-bit and 8-bit addresses
(ADD[5:0] and ADD[7:0]) respectively.
The USART enters mute mode when an address character is received which does not
match its programmed address. In this case, the RWU bit is set by hardware. The RXNE
flag is not set for this address byte and no interrupt or DMA request is issued when the
USART enters mute mode.
The USART also enters mute mode when the MMRQ bit is written to 1. The RWU bit is also
automatically set in this case.
The USART 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.
An example of mute mode behavior using address mark detection is given in Figure 205.

Modbus communication using USART
The USART offers basic support for the implementation of Modbus/RTU and Modbus/ASCII
protocols. Modbus/RTU is a half duplex, block transfer protocol. The control part of the
protocol (address recognition, block integrity control and command interpretation) must be
implemented in software.
The USART offers basic support for the end of the block detection, without software
overhead or other resources.

Modbus/RTU
In this mode, the end of one block is recognized by a “silence” (idle line) for more than 2
character times. This function is implemented through the programmable timeout function.
The timeout function and interrupt must be activated, through the RTOEN bit in the
USART_CR2 register and the RTOIE in the USART_CR1 register. The value corresponding
to a timeout of 2 character times (for example 22 x bit duration) must be programmed in the
RTO register. when the receive line is idle for this duration, after the last stop bit is received,
an interrupt is generated, informing the software that the current block reception is
completed.

Modbus/ASCII
In this mode, the end of a block is recognized by a specific (CR/LF) character sequence.
The USART manages this mechanism using the character match function.
By programming the LF ASCII code in the ADD[7:0] field and by activating the character
match interrupt (CMIE=1), the software is informed when a LF has been received and can
check the CR/LF in the DMA buffer.

USART parity control
Parity control (generation of parity bit in transmission and parity checking in reception) can
be enabled by setting the PCE 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 88.

1. Legends: SB: start bit, STB: stop bit, PB: parity bit. In the data register, the PB is always taking the MSB
position (8th or 7th, depending on the M bits value).

Even parity
The parity bit is calculated to obtain an even number of “1s” inside the frame of the 7 or 8
LSB bits (depending on M bit value) and the parity bit.
As an example, if data=00110101, and 4 bits are set, then the 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 M bit value) and the parity bit.
As an example, if data=00110101 and 4 bits set, then the parity bit will be 1 if odd parity is
selected (PS bit in USART_CR1 = 1).

Parity checking in reception
If the parity check fails, the PE flag is set in the USART_ISR register and an interrupt is
generated if PEIE is set in the USART_CR1 register. The PE flag is cleared by software
writing 1 to the PECF in the USART_ICR register.

Parity generation in transmission
If the PCE bit is set in USART_CR1, then the MSB bit of the data written in the data register
is transmitted but is changed by the parity bit (even number of “1s” if even parity is selected
(PS=0) or an odd number of “1s” if odd parity is selected (PS=1)).

USART LIN (local interconnection network) mode
This section is relevant only when LIN mode is supported. Please refer to Section 25.4:
USART implementation on page 622.
The LIN mode is selected by setting the LINEN bit in the USART_CR2 register. In LIN
mode, the following bits must be kept cleared:

642/904

•

STOP[1:0] and CLKEN in the USART_CR2 register,

•

SCEN, HDSEL and IREN in the USART_CR3 register.

Universal synchronous asynchronous receiver transmitter (USART)

LIN transmission
The procedure explained in Section 25.5.2: USART transmitter has to be applied for LIN
Master transmission. It must be the same as for normal USART transmission with the
following differences:
•

Clear the M bits to configure 8-bit word length.

•

Set the LINEN bit to enter LIN mode. In this case, setting the SBKRQ bit sends 13 ‘0’
bits as a break character. Then 2 bits of value ‘1’ are sent to allow the next start
detection.

LIN reception
When LIN mode is enabled, the break detection circuit is activated. The detection is totally
independent from the normal USART receiver. A break can be detected whenever it occurs,
during Idle state or during a frame.
When the receiver is enabled (RE=1 in USART_CR1), the circuit looks at the RX input for a
start signal. The method for detecting start bits is the same when searching break
characters or data. After a start bit has been detected, the circuit samples the next bits
exactly like for the data (on the 8th, 9th and 10th samples). If 10 (when the LBDL = 0 in
USART_CR2) or 11 (when LBDL=1 in USART_CR2) consecutive bits are detected as ‘0,
and are followed by a delimiter character, the LBDF flag is set in USART_ISR. If the LBDIE
bit=1, an interrupt is generated. Before validating the break, the delimiter is checked for as it
signifies that the RX line has returned to a high level.
If a ‘1’ is sampled before the 10 or 11 have occurred, the break detection circuit cancels the
current detection and searches for a start bit again.
If the LIN mode is disabled (LINEN=0), the receiver continues working as normal USART,
without taking into account the break detection.
If the LIN mode is enabled (LINEN=1), as soon as a framing error occurs (i.e. stop bit
detected at ‘0’, which will be the case for any break frame), the receiver stops until the break
detection circuit receives either a ‘1’, if the break word was not complete, or a delimiter
character if a break has been detected.
The behavior of the break detector state machine and the break flag is shown on the
Figure 206: Break detection in LIN mode (11-bit break length - LBDL bit is set) on page 644.
Examples of break frames are given on Figure 207: Break detection in LIN mode vs.
Framing error detection on page 645.

USART synchronous mode
The synchronous mode is selected by writing the CLKEN bit in the USART_CR2 register to
1. In synchronous mode, the following bits must be kept cleared:
•

LINEN bit in the USART_CR2 register,

•

SCEN, HDSEL and IREN bits in the USART_CR3 register.

In this mode, the USART can be used to control bidirectional synchronous serial
communications in master mode. The CK pin is the output of the USART transmitter clock.
No clock pulses are sent to the CK pin during start bit and stop bit. Depending on the state
of the LBCL bit in the USART_CR2 register, clock pulses are, or are not, generated during
the last valid data bit (address mark). The CPOL bit in the USART_CR2 register is used to
select the clock polarity, and the CPHA bit in the USART_CR2 register is used to select the
phase of the external clock (see Figure 208, Figure 209 and Figure 210).
During the Idle state, preamble and send break, the external CK clock is not activated.
In synchronous mode the USART transmitter works exactly like in asynchronous mode. But
as CK is synchronized with TX (according to CPOL and CPHA), the data on TX is
synchronous.
In this mode the USART receiver works in a different manner compared to the
asynchronous mode. If RE=1, the data is sampled on CK (rising or falling edge, depending
on CPOL and CPHA), without any oversampling. A setup and a hold time must be
respected (which depends on the baud rate: 1/16 bit duration).

Note:

The CK pin works in conjunction with the TX pin. Thus, the clock is provided only if the
transmitter is enabled (TE=1) and data is being transmitted (the data register USART_TDR
written). This means that it is not possible to receive synchronous data without transmitting
data.
The LBCL, CPOL and CPHA bits have to be selected when the USART is disabled (UE=0)
to ensure that the clock pulses function correctly.

USART Single-wire Half-duplex communication
Single-wire Half-duplex mode is selected by setting the HDSEL bit in the USART_CR3
register. In this mode, the following bits must be kept cleared:
•

LINEN and CLKEN bits in the USART_CR2 register,

•

SCEN and IREN bits in the USART_CR3 register.

The USART can be configured to follow a Single-wire Half-duplex protocol where the TX
and RX lines are internally connected. The selection between half- and Full-duplex
communication is made with a control bit HDSEL in USART_CR3.
As soon as HDSEL is written to 1:
•

The TX and RX lines are internally connected

•

The RX pin is no longer used

•

The TX pin is always released when no data is transmitted. Thus, it acts as a standard
I/O in idle or in reception. It means that the I/O must be configured so that TX is
configured as alternate function open-drain with an external pull-up.

Apart from this, the communication protocol is similar to normal USART mode. Any conflicts
on the line must be managed by software (by the use of a centralized arbiter, for instance).
In particular, the transmission is never blocked by hardware and continues as soon as data
is written in the data register while the TE bit is set.

25.5.13

USART Smartcard mode
This section is relevant only when Smartcard mode is supported. Please refer to
Section 25.4: USART implementation on page 622.
Smartcard mode is selected by setting the SCEN bit in the USART_CR3 register. In
Smartcard mode, the following bits must be kept cleared:
•

LINEN bit in the USART_CR2 register,

•

HDSEL and IREN bits in the USART_CR3 register.

Moreover, the CLKEN bit may be set in order to provide a clock to the smartcard.
The smartcard interface is designed to support asynchronous protocol for smartcards as
defined in the ISO 7816-3 standard. Both T=0 (character mode) and T=1 (block mode) are
supported.
The USART should be configured as:
•

8 bits plus parity: where word length is set to 8 bits and PCE=1 in the USART_CR1
register

•

1.5 stop bits: where STOP=11 in the USART_CR2 register. It is also possible to choose
0.5 stop bit for receiving.

In T=0 (character) mode, the parity error is indicated at the end of each character during the
guard time period.
Figure 212 shows examples of what can be seen on the data line with and without parity
error.

When connected to a smartcard, the TX output of the USART drives a bidirectional line that
is also driven by the smartcard. The TX pin must be configured as open drain.
Smartcard mode implements 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 starts
shifting on the next baud clock edge. In Smartcard mode this transmission is further
delayed by a guaranteed 1/2 baud clock.

•

In transmission, if the smartcard detects a parity error, it signals this condition to the
USART by driving the line low (NACK). This NACK signal (pulling transmit line low for 1
baud clock) causes a framing error on the transmitter side (configured with 1.5 stop
bits). The USART can handle automatic re-sending of data according to the protocol.
The number of retries is programmed in the SCARCNT bit field. If the USART
continues receiving the NACK after the programmed number of retries, it stops
transmitting and signals the error as a framing error. The TXE bit can be set using the
TXFRQ bit in the USART_RQR register.

•

Smartcard auto-retry in transmission: a delay of 2.5 baud periods is inserted between
the NACK detection by the USART and the start bit of the repeated character. The TC
bit is set immediately at the end of reception of the last repeated character (no guardtime). If the software wants to repeat it again, it must insure the minimum 2 baud
periods required by the standard.

•

If a parity error is detected during reception of a frame programmed with a 1.5 stop bits
period, the transmit line is pulled low for a baud clock period after the completion of the
receive frame. This is to indicate to the smartcard that the data transmitted to the
USART has not been correctly received. A parity error is NACKed by the receiver if the
NACK control bit is set, otherwise a NACK is not transmitted (to be used in T=1 mode).
If the received character is erroneous, the RXNE/receive DMA request is not activated.
According to the protocol specification, the smartcard must resend the same character.
If the received character is still erroneous after the maximum number of retries
specified in the SCARCNT bit field, the USART stops transmitting the NACK and
signals the error as a parity error.

•

Smartcard auto-retry in reception: the BUSY flag remains set if the USART NACKs the
card but the card doesn’t repeat the character.

•

In transmission, the USART inserts the Guard Time (as programmed in the Guard Time
register) between two successive characters. As the Guard Time is measured after the
stop bit of the previous character, the GT[7:0] register must be programmed to the
desired CGT (Character Guard Time, as defined by the 7816-3 specification) minus 12
(the duration of one character).

•

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 is not 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
does not detect the NACK as a start bit.

A break character is not significant in Smartcard mode. A 0x00 data with a framing error is
treated as data and not as a break.
No Idle frame is transmitted when toggling the TE bit. The Idle frame (as defined for the
other configurations) is not defined by the ISO protocol.
Figure 213 details how the NACK signal is sampled by the USART. In this example the
USART is transmitting 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 CK output. In Smartcard
mode, 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_. CK frequency can be programmed from fCK/2 to fCK/62, where
fCK is the peripheral input clock.

Universal synchronous asynchronous receiver transmitter (USART)

Block mode (T=1)
In T=1 (block) mode, the parity error transmission is deactivated, by clearing the NACK bit in
the UART_CR3 register.
When requesting a read from the smartcard, in block mode, the software must enable the
receiver Timeout feature by setting the RTOEN bit in the USART_CR2 register and program
the RTO bits field in the RTOR register to the BWT (block wait time) - 11 value. If no answer
is received from the card before the expiration of this period, the RTOF flag will be set and a
timeout interrupt will be generated (if RTOIE bit in the USART_CR1 register is set). If the
first character is received before the expiration of the period, it is signaled by the RXNE
interrupt.
Note:

The RXNE interrupt must be enabled even when using the USART in DMA mode to read
from the smartcard in block mode. In parallel, the DMA must be enabled only after the first
received byte.
After the reception of the first character (RXNE interrupt), the RTO bit fields in the RTOR
register must be programmed to the CWT (character wait time) - 11 value, in order to allow
the automatic check of the maximum wait time between two consecutive characters. This
time is expressed in baudtime units. If the smartcard does not send a new character in less
than the CWT period after the end of the previous character, the USART signals this to the
software through the RTOF flag and interrupt (when RTOIE bit is set).

Note:

The RTO counter starts counting:
- From the end of the stop bit in case STOP = 00.
- From the end of the second stop bit in case of STOP = 10.
- 1 bit duration after the beginning of the STOP bit in case STOP = 11.
- From the beginning of the STOP bit in case STOP = 01.
As in the Smartcard protocol definition, the BWT/CWT values are defined from the
beginning (start bit) of the last character. The RTO register must be programmed to BWT 11 or CWT -11, respectively, taking into account the length of the last character itself.
A block length counter is used to count all the characters received by the USART. This
counter is reset when the USART is transmitting (TXE=0). The length of the block is
communicated by the smartcard in the third byte of the block (prologue field). This value
must be programmed to the BLEN field in the USART_RTOR register. when using DMA
mode, before the start of the block, this register field must be programmed to the minimum
value (0x0). with this value, an interrupt is generated after the 4th received character. The
software must read the LEN field (third byte), its value must be read from the receive buffer.
In interrupt driven receive mode, the length of the block may be checked by software or by
programming the BLEN value. However, before the start of the block, the maximum value of
BLEN (0xFF) may be programmed. The real value will be programmed after the reception of
the third character.
If the block is using the LRC longitudinal redundancy check (1 epilogue byte), the
BLEN=LEN. If the block is using the CRC mechanism (2 epilogue bytes), BLEN=LEN+1
must be programmed. The total block length (including prologue, epilogue and information
fields) equals BLEN+4. The end of the block is signaled to the software through the EOBF
flag and interrupt (when EOBIE bit is set).
In case of an error in the block length, the end of the block is signaled by the RTO interrupt
(Character wait Time overflow).

The error checking code (LRC/CRC) must be computed/verified by software.

Direct and inverse convention
The Smartcard protocol defines two conventions: direct and inverse.
The direct convention is defined as: LSB first, logical bit value of 1 corresponds to a H state
of the line and parity is even. In order to use this convention, the following control bits must
be programmed: MSBFIRST=0, DATAINV=0 (default values).
The inverse convention is defined as: MSB first, logical bit value 1 corresponds to an L state
on the signal line and parity is even. In order to use this convention, the following control bits
must be programmed: MSBFIRST=1, DATAINV=1.
Note:

When logical data values are inverted (0=H, 1=L), the parity bit is also inverted in the same
way.
In order to recognize the card convention, the card sends the initial character, TS, as the
first character of the ATR (Answer To Reset) frame. The two possible patterns for the TS
are: LHHL LLL LLH and LHHL HHH LLH.
•

(H) LHHL LLL LLH sets up the inverse convention: state L encodes value 1 and
moment 2 conveys the most significant bit (MSB first). when decoded by inverse
convention, the conveyed byte is equal to '3F'.

•

(H) LHHL HHH LLH sets up the direct convention: state H encodes value 1 and
moment 2 conveys the least significant bit (LSB first). when decoded by direct
convention, the conveyed byte is equal to '3B'.

Character parity is correct when there is an even number of bits set to 1 in the nine
moments 2 to 10.
As the USART does not know which convention is used by the card, it needs to be able to
recognize either pattern and act accordingly. The pattern recognition is not done in
hardware, but through a software sequence. Moreover, supposing that the USART is
configured in direct convention (default) and the card answers with the inverse convention,
TS = LHHL LLL LLH => the USART received character will be ‘03’ and the parity will be odd.
Therefore, two methods are available for TS pattern recognition:
Method 1
The USART is programmed in standard Smartcard mode/direct convention. In this case, the
TS pattern reception generates a parity error interrupt and error signal to the card.
•

The parity error interrupt informs the software that the card didn’t answer correctly in
direct convention. Software then reprograms the USART for inverse convention

•

In response to the error signal, the card retries the same TS character, and it will be
correctly received this time, by the reprogrammed USART

Alternatively, in answer to the parity error interrupt, the software may decide to reprogram
the USART and to also generate a new reset command to the card, then wait again for the
TS.

RM0313

Universal synchronous asynchronous receiver transmitter (USART)
Method 2
The USART is programmed in 9-bit/no-parity mode, no bit inversion. In this mode it receives
any of the two TS patterns as:
(H) LHHL LLL LLH = 0x103 -> inverse convention to be chosen
(H) LHHL HHH LLH = 0x13B -> direct convention to be chosen
The software checks the received character against these two patterns and, if any of them
match, then programs the USART accordingly for the next character reception.
If none of the two is recognized, a card reset may be generated in order to restart the
negotiation.

USART IrDA SIR ENDEC block
This section is relevant only when IrDA mode is supported. Please refer to Section 25.4:
USART implementation on page 622.
IrDA mode is selected by setting the IREN bit in the USART_CR3 register. In IrDA mode,
the following bits must be kept cleared:
•

LINEN, STOP and CLKEN bits in the USART_CR2 register,

•

SCEN and HDSEL bits in the USART_CR3 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 214).
The SIR Transmit encoder modulates the Non Return to Zero (NRZ) transmit bit stream
output from USART. The output pulse stream is transmitted to an external output driver and
infrared LED. 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 the 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 (when the
USART is sending data to the IrDA encoder), any data on the IrDA receive line is
ignored by the IrDA decoder and if the Receiver is busy (when the USART is receiving
decoded data from the IrDA decoder), data on the TX from the USART to IrDA is not
encoded. 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 215).

•

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.

DocID022448 Rev 5

•

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 the USART_GTPR). 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
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 period. A valid low is accepted
only if its duration is greater than 2 periods of the IrDA low-power Baud clock (PSC value in
the USART_GTPR).
Note:

A pulse of width less than two and greater than one PSC period(s) may or may not be
rejected.
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).

USART continuous communication in DMA mode
The USART is capable of performing continuous communication using the DMA. The DMA
requests for Rx buffer and Tx buffer are generated independently.

Note:

Please refer to Section 25.4: USART implementation on page 622 to determine if the DMA
mode is supported. If DMA is not supported, use the USART as explained in Section 25.5.2:
USART transmitter or Section 25.5.3: USART receiver. To perform continuous
communication, the user can clear the TXE/ RXNE flags In the USART_ISR register.

Transmission using DMA
DMA mode can be enabled for transmission by setting DMAT bit in the USART_CR3
register. Data is loaded from a SRAM area configured using the DMA peripheral (refer to
Section 10: Direct memory access controller (DMA) on page 164) to the USART_TDR
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_TDR register address in the DMA control register to configure it as
the destination of the transfer. The data is 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 is loaded into the USART_TDR 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 flag in the USART_ISR register by setting the TCCF bit in the
USART_ICR register.

7.

Activate the channel in the DMA register.

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.
In transmission mode, once the DMA has written all the data to be transmitted (the TCIF flag
is set in the DMA_ISR register), the TC flag can be monitored to make sure that the USART

RM0313

communication is complete. This is required to avoid corrupting the last transmission before
disabling the USART or entering Stop mode. Software must wait until TC=1. The TC flag
remains cleared during all data transfers and it is set by hardware at the end of transmission
of the last frame.

whenever a data byte is received. To map a DMA channel for USART reception, use the
following procedure:
1.

Write the USART_RDR register address in the DMA control register to configure it as
the source of the transfer. The data is moved from this address to the memory after
each RXNE event.

2.

Error flagging and interrupt generation in multibuffer communication
In multibuffer communication if any error occurs during the transaction the error flag is
asserted after the current byte. An interrupt is generated if the interrupt enable flag is set.
For framing error, overrun error and noise flag which are asserted with RXNE in single byte
reception, there is a separate error flag interrupt enable bit (EIE bit in the USART_CR3
register), which, if set, enables an interrupt after the current byte if any of these errors occur.

25.5.16

RS232 hardware flow control and RS485 driver enable
using USART
It is possible to control the serial data flow between 2 devices by using the CTS input and
the RTS output. The Figure 218 shows how to connect 2 devices in this mode:

RS232 RTS and CTS flow control can be enabled independently by writing the RTSE and
CTSE bits respectively to 1 (in the USART_CR3 register).

RS232 RTS flow control
If the RTS flow control is enabled (RTSE=1), then RTS is asserted (tied low) as long as the
USART receiver is ready to receive a new data. When the receive register is full, RTS is deasserted, indicating that the transmission is expected to stop at the end of the current frame.
Figure 219 shows an example of communication with RTS flow control enabled.

RS232 CTS flow control
If the CTS flow control is enabled (CTSE=1), then the transmitter checks the CTS input
before transmitting the next frame. If CTS is asserted (tied low), then the next data is
transmitted (assuming that data is to be transmitted, in other words, if TXE=0), else the
transmission does not occur. when CTS is de-asserted during a transmission, the current
transmission is completed before the transmitter stops.
When CTSE=1, the CTSIF status bit is automatically set by hardware as soon as the CTS
input toggles. It indicates when the receiver becomes ready or not ready for communication.
An interrupt is generated if the CTSIE bit in the USART_CR3 register is set. Figure 220
shows an example of communication with CTS flow control enabled.

Note:

For correct behavior, CTS must be asserted at least 3 USART clock source periods before
the end of the current character. In addition it should be noted that the CTSCF flag may not
be set for pulses shorter than 2 x PCLK periods.

RS485 Driver Enable
The driver enable feature is enabled by setting bit DEM in the USART_CR3 control register.
This allows the user to activate the external transceiver control, through the DE (Driver
Enable) signal. The assertion time is the time between the activation of the DE signal and
the beginning of the START bit. It is programmed using the DEAT [4:0] bit fields in the
USART_CR1 control register. The de-assertion time is the time between the end of the last
stop bit, in a transmitted message, and the de-activation of the DE signal. It is programmed
using the DEDT [4:0] bit fields in the USART_CR1 control register. The polarity of the DE
signal can be configured using the DEP bit in the USART_CR3 control register.
In USART, the DEAT and DEDT are expressed in sample time units (1/8 or 1/16 bit duration,
depending on the oversampling rate).

25.5.17

Wakeup from Stop mode using USART
The USART is able to wake up the MCU from Stopmode when the UESM bit is set and the
USART clock is set to HSI or LSE (refer to Section Reset and clock control (RCC)).
•

USART source clock is HSI
If during stop mode the HSI clock is switched OFF, when a falling edge on the USART
receive line is detected, the USART interface requests the HSI clock to be switched
ON. The HSI clock is then used for the frame reception.

•

–

If the wakeup event is verified, the MCU wakes up from low-power mode and data
reception goes on normally.

–

If the wakeup event is not verified, the HSI clock is switched OFF again, the MCU
is not waken up and stays in low-power mode and the clock request is released.

USART source clock is LSE
Same principle as described in case of USART source clock is HSI with the difference
that the LSE is ON in stop mode, but the LSE clock is not propagated to USART if the
DocID022448 Rev 5

659/904
685

Universal synchronous asynchronous receiver transmitter (USART)

RM0313

USART is not requesting it. The LSE clock is not OFF but there is a clock gating to
avoid useless consumption.
The MCU wakeup from Stop mode can be done using the standard RXNE interrupt. In this
case, the RXNEIE bit must be set before entering Stop mode.
Alternatively, a specific interrupt may be selected through the WUS bit fields.
In order to be able to wake up the MCU from Stop mode, the UESM bit in the USART_CR1
control register must be set prior to entering Stop mode.
When the wakeup event is detected, the WUF flag is set by hardware and a wakeup
interrupt is generated if the WUFIE bit is set.
Note:

Before entering Stop mode, the user must ensure that the USART is not performing a
transfer. BUSY flag cannot ensure that Stop mode is never entered during a running
reception.
The WUF flag is set when a wakeup event is detected, independently of whether the MCU is
in Stop or in an active mode.
When entering Stop mode just after having initialized and enabled the receiver, the REACK
bit must be checked to ensure the USART is actually enabled.
When DMA is used for reception, it must be disabled before entering Stop mode and reenabled upon exit from Stop mode.
The wakeup from Stop mode feature is not available for all modes. For example it doesn’t
work in SPI mode because the SPI operates in master mode only.

Using Mute mode with Stop mode
If the USART is put into Mute mode before entering Stop mode:
•

Wakeup from Mute mode on idle detection must not be used, because idle detection
cannot work in Stop mode.

•

If the wakeup from Mute mode on address match is used, then the source of wake-up
from Stop mode must also be the address match. If the RXNE flag is set when entering
the Stop mode, the interface will remain in mute mode upon address match and wake
up from Stop.

•

If the USART is configured to wake up the MCU from Stop mode on START bit
detection, the WUF flag is set, but the RXNE flag is not set.

Determining the maximum USART baudrate allowing to wakeup correctly
from Stop mode when the USART clock source is the HSI clock
The maximum baudrate allowing to wakeup correctly from stop mode depends on:
•

the parameter tWUUSART provided in the device datasheet

•

the USART receiver tolerance provided in the Section 25.5.5: Tolerance of the USART
receiver to clock deviation.

Let us take this example: OVER8 = 0, M bits = 10, ONEBIT = 1, BRR [3:0] = 0000.
In these conditions, according to Table 86: Tolerance of the USART receiver when BRR
[3:0] = 0000, the USART receiver tolerance is 4.86 %.
DTRA + DQUANT + DREC + DTCL + DWU < USART receiver's tolerance
DWU max = tWUUSART / (9 x Tbit Min)
Tbit Min = tWUUSART / (9 x DWU max)
660/904

DocID022448 Rev 5

RM0313

Universal synchronous asynchronous receiver transmitter (USART)
If we consider an ideal case where the parameters DTRA, DQUANT, DREC and DTCL are
at 0%, the DWU max is 4.86 %. In reality, we need to consider at least the HSI inaccuracy.
Let us consider HSI inaccuracy = 1 %, tWUUSART = 3.125 μs (in case of wakeup from stop
mode, with the main regulator in Run mode).
DWU max = 4.86 % - 1 % = 3.86 %
Tbit min = 3.125 μs / (9 ₓ 3.86 %) = 9 μs
In these conditions, the maximum baudrate allowing to wakeup correctly from Stop mode is
1/9 μs = 111 Kbaud.

Universal synchronous asynchronous receiver transmitter (USART)

Bits 31:16 Reserved, must be kept at reset value
Bits 15:8 GT[7:0]: Guard time value
This bit-field is used to program the Guard time value in terms of number of baud clock
periods.
This is used in Smartcard mode. The Transmission Complete flag is set after this guard time
value.
This bit field can only be written when the USART is disabled (UE=0).
Note: If Smartcard mode is not supported, this bit is reserved and forced by hardware to ‘0’.
Please refer to Section 25.4: USART implementation on page 622.
Bits 7:0 PSC[7:0]: Prescaler value
In IrDA Low-power and normal IrDA mode:
PSC[7:0] = IrDA Normal and Low-Power Baud Rate
Used for programming the prescaler for dividing the USART source clock to achieve the lowpower frequency:
The source clock is divided by the value given in the register (8 significant bits):
00000000: Reserved - do not program this value
00000001: divides the source clock by 1
00000010: divides the source clock by 2
...
In Smartcard mode:
PSC[4:0]: Prescaler value
Used for programming the prescaler for dividing the USART source clock to provide the
Smartcard clock.
The value given in the register (5 significant bits) is multiplied by 2 to give the division factor
of the source clock frequency:
00000: Reserved - do not program this value
00001: divides the source clock by 2
00010: divides the source clock by 4
00011: divides the source clock by 6
...
This bit field can only be written when the USART is disabled (UE=0).
Note: Bits [7:5] must be kept cleared if Smartcard mode is used.
This bit field is reserved and forced by hardware to ‘0’ when the Smartcard and IrDA
modes are not supported. Please refer to Section 25.4: USART implementation on
page 622.

Bits 31:24 BLEN[7:0]: Block Length
This bit-field gives the Block length in Smartcard T=1 Reception. Its value equals the number
of information characters + the length of the Epilogue Field (1-LEC/2-CRC) - 1.
Examples:
BLEN = 0 -> 0 information characters + LEC
BLEN = 1 -> 0 information characters + CRC
BLEN = 255 -> 254 information characters + CRC (total 256 characters))
In Smartcard mode, the Block length counter is reset when TXE=0.
This bit-field can be used also in other modes. In this case, the Block length counter is reset
when RE=0 (receiver disabled) and/or when the EOBCF bit is written to 1.
Note: This value can be programmed after the start of the block reception (using the data
from the LEN character in the Prologue Field). It must be programmed only once per
received block.
Bits 23:0 RTO[23:0]: Receiver timeout value
This bit-field gives the Receiver timeout value in terms of number of bit duration.
In standard mode, the RTOF flag is set if, after the last received character, no new start bit is
detected for more than the RTO value.
In Smartcard mode, this value is used to implement the CWT and BWT. See Smartcard
section for more details.
In this case, the timeout measurement is done starting from the Start Bit of the last received
character.
Note: This value must only be programmed once per received character.

Note:

RTOR can be written on the fly. If the new value is lower than or equal to the counter, the
RTOF flag is set.
This register is reserved and forced by hardware to “0x00000000” when the Receiver
timeout feature is not supported. Please refer to Section 25.4: USART implementation on
page 622.

Universal synchronous asynchronous receiver transmitter (USART)

Bits 31:5 Reserved, must be kept at reset value
Bit 4 TXFRQ: Transmit data flush request
Writing 1 to this bit sets the TXE flag.
This allows to discard the transmit data. This bit must be used only in Smartcard mode,
when data has not been sent due to errors (NACK) and the FE flag is active in the
USART_ISR register.
If the USART does not support Smartcard mode, this bit is reserved and forced by hardware
to ‘0’. Please refer to Section 25.4: USART implementation on page 622.
Bit 3 RXFRQ: Receive data flush request
Writing 1 to this bit clears the RXNE flag.
This allows to discard the received data without reading it, and avoid an overrun condition.
Bit 2 MMRQ: Mute mode request
Writing 1 to this bit puts the USART in mute mode and sets the RWU flag.
Bit 1 SBKRQ: Send break request
Writing 1 to this bit sets the SBKF flag and request to send a BREAK on the line, as soon as
the transmit machine is available.
Note: In the case the application needs to send the break character following all previously
inserted data, including the ones not yet transmitted, the software should wait for the
TXE flag assertion before setting the SBKRQ bit.
Bit 0 ABRRQ: Auto baud rate request
Writing 1 to this bit resets the ABRF flag in the USART_ISR and request an automatic baud
rate measurement on the next received data frame.
Note: If the USART does not support the auto baud rate feature, this bit is reserved and
forced by hardware to ‘0’. Please refer to Section 25.4: USART implementation on
page 622.

wakeup/mute sequence is recognized. The mute mode control sequence (address or IDLE)
is selected by the WAKE bit in the USART_CR1 register.
When wakeup on IDLE mode is selected, this bit can only be set by software, writing 1 to the
MMRQ bit in the USART_RQR register.
0: Receiver in active mode
1: Receiver in mute mode
Bit 18 SBKF: Send break flag

Bit 15 ABRF: Auto baud rate flag
This bit is set by hardware when the automatic baud rate has been set (RXNE will also be
set, generating an interrupt if RXNEIE = 1) or when the auto baud rate operation was
completed without success (ABRE=1) (ABRE, RXNE and FE are also set in this case)
It is cleared by software, in order to request a new auto baud rate detection, by writing 1 to

character comparison failed)
It is cleared by software, by writing 1 to the ABRRQ bit in the USART_CR3 register.
Note: If the USART does not support the auto baud rate feature, this bit is reserved and
forced by hardware to ‘0’.
Bit 13 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bit 12 EOBF: End of block flag
This bit is set by hardware when a complete block has been received (for example T=1
Smartcard mode). The detection is done when the number of received bytes (from the start
of the block, including the prologue) is equal or greater than BLEN + 4.
An interrupt is generated if the EOBIE=1 in the USART_CR2 register.
It is cleared by software, writing 1 to the EOBCF in the USART_ICR register.
0: End of Block not reached
1: End of Block (number of characters) reached

Please refer to Section 25.4: USART implementation on page 622.
Bit 11 RTOF: Receiver timeout
This bit is set by hardware when the timeout value, programmed in the RTOR register has
lapsed, without any communication. It is cleared by software, writing 1 to the RTOCF bit in
the USART_ICR register.
An interrupt is generated if RTOIE=1 in the USART_CR1 register.
In Smartcard mode, the timeout corresponds to the CWT or BWT timings.
0: Timeout value not reached
1: Timeout value reached without any data reception
Note: If a time equal to the value programmed in RTOR register separates 2 characters,
RTOF is not set. If this time exceeds this value + 2 sample times (2/16 or 2/8,
depending on the oversampling method), RTOF flag is set.
The counter counts even if RE = 0 but RTOF is set only when RE = 1. If the timeout has
already elapsed when RE is set, then RTOF will be set.
If the USART does not support the Receiver timeout feature, this bit is reserved and
forced by hardware to ‘0’.

to ‘0’. Please refer to Section 25.4: USART implementation on page 622.
Bit 7 TXE: Transmit data register empty
This bit is set by hardware when the content of the USART_TDR register has been
transferred into the shift register. It is cleared by a write to the USART_TDR register.
The TXE flag can also be cleared by writing 1 to the TXFRQ in the USART_RQR register, in
order to discard the data (only in Smartcard T=0 mode, in case of transmission failure).
An interrupt is generated if the TXEIE bit =1 in the USART_CR1 register.
0: data is not transferred to the shift register
1: data is transferred to the shift register)
Note: This bit is used during single buffer transmission.
Bit 6 TC: Transmission complete
This bit is set by hardware if the transmission of a frame containing data is complete and if
TXE is set. An interrupt is generated if TCIE=1 in the USART_CR1 register. It is cleared by
software, writing 1 to the TCCF in the USART_ICR register or by a write to the USART_TDR
register.

Bit 4 IDLE: Idle line detected
This bit is set by hardware when an Idle Line is detected. An interrupt is generated if
IDLEIE=1 in the USART_CR1 register. It is cleared by software, writing 1 to the IDLECF in
the USART_ICR register.
0: No Idle line is detected
1: Idle line is detected
Note: The IDLE bit will not be set again until the RXNE bit has been set (i.e. a new idle line
occurs).
If mute mode is enabled (MME=1), IDLE is set if the USART is not mute (RWU=0),
whatever the mute mode selected by the WAKE bit. If RWU=1, IDLE is not set.
Bit 3 ORE: Overrun error
This bit is set by hardware when the data currently being received in the shift register is
ready to be transferred into the RDR register while RXNE=1. It is cleared by a software,
writing 1 to the ORECF, in the USART_ICR register.
An interrupt is generated if RXNEIE=1 or EIE = 1 in the USART_CR1 register.
0: No overrun error
1: Overrun error is detected
Note: When this bit is set, the RDR register content is not lost but the shift register is
overwritten. An interrupt is generated if the ORE flag is set during multibuffer
communication if the EIE bit is set.
This bit is permanently forced to 0 (no overrun detection) when the OVRDIS bit is set in
the USART_CR3 register.
Bit 2 NF: START bit Noise detection flag
This bit is set by hardware when noise is detected on a received frame. It is cleared by
software, writing 1 to the NFCF bit in the USART_ICR register.
0: No noise is detected
1: Noise is detected
Note: This bit does not generate an interrupt as it appears at the same time as the RXNE bit
which itself generates an interrupt. An interrupt is generated when the NF flag is set
during multibuffer communication if the EIE bit is set.
Note: When the line is noise-free, the NF flag can be disabled by programming the ONEBIT
bit to 1 to increase the USART tolerance to deviations (Refer to Section 25.5.5:
Tolerance of the USART receiver to clock deviation on page 637).
Bit 1 FE: Framing error
This bit is set by hardware when a de-synchronization, excessive noise or a break character
is detected. It is cleared by software, writing 1 to the FECF bit in the USART_ICR register.
In Smartcard mode, in transmission, this bit is set when the maximum number of transmit
attempts is reached without success (the card NACKs the data frame).
An interrupt is generated if EIE = 1 in the USART_CR1 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
software, writing 1 to the PECF in the USART_ICR register.

Serial peripheral interface / inter-IC sound (SPI/I2S)

26.1

Introduction
The SPI/I²S interface can be used to communicate with external devices using the SPI
protocol or the I2S audio protocol. SPI or I2S mode is selectable by software. SPI Motorola
mode is selected by default after a device reset.
The serial peripheral interface (SPI) protocol supports half-duplex, full-duplex and simplex
synchronous, serial communication with external devices. The interface can be configured
as master and in this case it provides the communication clock (SCK) to the external slave
device. The interface is also capable of operating in multimaster configuration.
The Inter-IC sound (I2S) protocol is also a synchronous serial communication interface.It
can operate in slave or master mode with full duplex and half-duplex communication. It can
address four different audio standards including the Philips I2S standard, the MSB- and
LSB-justified standards and the PCM standard.

General description
The SPI allows synchronous, serial communication between the MCU and external devices.
Application software can manage the communication by polling the status flag or using
dedicated SPI interrupt. The main elements of SPI and their interactions are shown in the

Four I/O pins are dedicated to SPI communication with external devices.
•

MISO: Master In / Slave Out data. In the general case, this pin is used to transmit data
in slave mode and receive data in master mode.

•

MOSI: Master Out / Slave In data. In the general case, this pin is used to transmit data
in master mode and receive data in slave mode.

•

SCK: Serial Clock output pin for SPI masters and input pin for SPI slaves.

•

NSS: Slave select pin. Depending on the SPI and NSS settings, this pin can be used to
either:
–

select an individual slave device for communication

–

synchronize the data frame or

–

detect a conflict between multiple masters

See Section 26.5.5: Slave select (NSS) pin management for details.
The SPI bus allows the communication between one master device and one or more slave
devices. The bus consists of at least two wires - one for the clock signal and the other for
synchronous data transfer. Other signals can be added depending on the data exchange
between SPI nodes and their slave select signal management.

26.5.2

Communications between one master and one slave
The SPI allows the MCU to communicate using different configurations, depending on the
device targeted and the application requirements. These configurations use 2 or 3 wires
(with software NSS management) or 3 or 4 wires (with hardware NSS management).
Communication is always initiated by the master.

Serial peripheral interface / inter-IC sound (SPI/I2S)

Full-duplex communication
By default, the SPI is configured for full-duplex communication. In this configuration, the
shift registers of the master and slave are linked using two unidirectional lines between the
MOSI and the MISO pins. During SPI communication, data is shifted synchronously on the
SCK clock edges provided by the master. The master transmits the data to be sent to the
slave via the MOSI line and receives data from the slave via the MISO line. When the data
frame transfer is complete (all the bits are shifted) the information between the master and
slave is exchanged.

1. The NSS pins can be used to provide a hardware control flow between master and slave. Optionally, the
pins can be left unused by the peripheral. Then the flow has to be handled internally for both master and
slave. For more details see Section 26.5.5: Slave select (NSS) pin management.

Half-duplex communication
The SPI can communicate in half-duplex mode by setting the BIDIMODE bit in the
SPIx_CR1 register. In this configuration, one single cross connection line is used to link the
shift registers of the master and slave together. During this communication, the data is
synchronously shifted between the shift registers on the SCK clock edge in the transfer
direction selected reciprocally by both master and slave with the BDIOE bit in their
SPIx_CR1 registers. In this configuration, the master’s MISO pin and the slave’s MOSI pin
are free for other application uses and act as GPIOs.

nodes working at bidirectionnal mode and new transmitter accesses the common data line while former
transmitter still keeps an opposite value on the line (the value depends on SPI configuration and
communication data). Both nodes then fight while providing opposite output levels on the common line
temporary till next node changes its direction settings correspondingly, too. It is suggested to insert a serial
resistance between MISO and MOSI pins at this mode to protect the outputs and limit the current blowing
between them at this situation.

Simplex communications
The SPI can communicate in simplex mode by setting the SPI in transmit-only or in receiveonly using the RXONLY bit in the SPIx_CR2 register. In this configuration, only one line is
used for the transfer between the shift registers of the master and slave. The remaining
MISO and MOSI pins pair is not used for communication and can be used as standard
GPIOs.
•

Transmit-only mode (RXONLY=0): The configuration settings are the same as for fullduplex. The application has to ignore the information captured on the unused input pin.
This pin can be used as a standard GPIO.

•

Receive-only mode (RXONLY=1): The application can disable the SPI output function
by setting the RXONLY bit. In slave configuration, the MISO output is disabled and the
pin can be used as a GPIO. The slave continues to receive data from the MOSI pin
while its slave select signal is active (see 26.5.4: Multi-master communication).
Received data events appear depending on the data buffer configuration. In the master
configuration, the MOSI output is disabled and the pin can be used as a GPIO. The
clock signal is generated continuously as long as the SPI is enabled. The only way to
stop the clock is to clear the RXONLY bit or the SPE bit and wait until the incoming
pattern from the MISO pin is finished and fills the data buffer structure, depending on its
configuration.

2. An accidental input information is captured at the input of transmitter Rx shift register. All the events
associated with the transmitter receive flow must be ignored in standard transmit only mode (e.g. OVF
flag).
3. In this configuration, both the MISO pins can be used as GPIOs.

Note:

690/904

Any simplex communication can be alternatively replaced by a variant of the half duplex
communication with a constant setting of the transaction direction (bidirectional mode is
enabled while BDIO bit is not changed).

26.5.3

Serial peripheral interface / inter-IC sound (SPI/I2S)

Standard multi-slave communication
In a configuration with two or more independent slaves, the master uses GPIO pins to
manage the chip select lines for each slave (see Figure 226.). The master must select one
of the slaves individually by pulling low the GPIO connected to the slave NSS input. When
this is done, a standard master and dedicated slave communication is established.

1. NSS pin is not used on master side at this configuration. It has to be managed internally (SSM=1, SSI=1) to
prevent any MODF error.
2. As MISO pins of the slaves are connected together, all slaves must have the GPIO configuration of their
MISO pin set as alternate function open-drain (see Section 8.3.7: I/O alternate function input/output on
page 145.

26.5.4

Multi-master communication
Unless SPI bus is not designed for a multi-master capability primarily, the user can use build
in feature which detects a potential conflict between two nodes trying to master the bus at
the same time. For this detection, NSS pin is used configured at hardware input mode.

DocID022448 Rev 5

691/904
743

Serial peripheral interface / inter-IC sound (SPI/I2S)

RM0313

The connection of more than two SPI nodes working at this mode is impossible as only one
node can apply its output on a common data line at time.
When nodes are non active, both stay at slave mode by default. Once one node wants to
overtake control on the bus, it switches itself into master mode and applies active level on
the slave select input of the other node via dedicated GPIO pin. After the session is
completed, the active slave select signal is released and the node mastering the bus
temporary returns back to passive slave mode waiting for next session start.
If potentially both nodes raised their mastering request at the same time a bus conflict event
appears (see mode fault MODF event). Then the user can apply some simple arbitration
process (e.g. to postpone next attempt by predefined different time-outs applied at both
nodes).

1. The NSS pin is configured at hardware input mode at both nodes. Its active level enables the MISO line
output control as the passive node is configured as a slave.

26.5.5

Slave select (NSS) pin management
In slave mode, the NSS works as a standard “chip select” input and lets the slave
communicate with the master. In master mode, NSS can be used either as output or input.
As an input it can prevent multimaster bus collision, and as an output it can drive a slave
select signal of a single slave.
Hardware or software slave select management can be set using the SSM bit in the
SPIx_CR1 register:
•

Software NSS management (SSM = 1): in this configuration, slave select information
is driven internally by the SSI bit value in register SPIx_CR1. The external NSS pin is
free for other application uses.

•

Hardware NSS management (SSM = 0): in this case, there are two possible
configurations. The configuration used depends on the NSS output configuration
(SSOE bit in register SPIx_CR1).
–

692/904

NSS output enable (SSM=0,SSOE = 1): this configuration is only used when the
MCU is set as master. The NSS pin is managed by the hardware. The NSS signal
is driven low as soon as the SPI is enabled in master mode (SPE=1), and is kept
low until the SPI is disabled (SPE =0). A pulse can be generated between

DocID022448 Rev 5

RM0313

Serial peripheral interface / inter-IC sound (SPI/I2S)
continuous communications if NSS pulse mode is activated (NSSP=1). The SPI
cannot work in multimaster configuration with this NSS setting.
–

NSS output disable (SSM=0, SSOE = 0): if the microcontroller is acting as the
master on the bus, this configuration allows multimaster capability. If the NSS pin
is pulled low in this mode, the SPI enters master mode fault state and the device is
automatically reconfigured in slave mode. In slave mode, the NSS pin works as a
standard “chip select” input and the slave is selected while NSS line is at low level.

26.5.6

Communication formats
During SPI communication, receive and transmit operations are performed simultaneously.
The serial clock (SCK) synchronizes the shifting and sampling of the information on the data
lines. The communication format depends on the clock phase, the clock polarity and the
data frame format. To be able to communicate together, the master and slaves devices must
follow the same communication format.

Clock phase and polarity controls
Four possible timing relationships may be chosen by software, using the CPOL and CPHA
bits in the SPIx_CR1 register. The CPOL (clock polarity) bit controls the idle state value of
the clock when no data is being transferred. This bit affects both master and slave modes. If
CPOL is reset, the SCK pin has a low-level idle state. If CPOL is set, the SCK pin has a
high-level idle state.

DocID022448 Rev 5

693/904
743

Serial peripheral interface / inter-IC sound (SPI/I2S)

RM0313

If the CPHA bit is set, the second edge on the SCK pin captures the first data bit transacted
(falling edge if the CPOL bit is reset, rising edge if the CPOL bit is set). Data are latched on
each occurrence of this clock transition type. If the CPHA bit is reset, the first edge on the
SCK pin captures the first data bit transacted (falling edge if the CPOL bit is set, rising edge
if the CPOL bit is reset). Data are latched on each occurrence of this clock transition type.
The combination of CPOL (clock polarity) and CPHA (clock phase) bits selects the data
capture clock edge.
Figure 229, shows an SPI full-duplex transfer with the four combinations of the CPHA and
CPOL bits.
Note:

Prior to changing the CPOL/CPHA bits the SPI must be disabled by resetting the SPE bit.
The idle state of SCK must correspond to the polarity selected in the SPIx_CR1 register (by
pulling up SCK if CPOL=1 or pulling down SCK if CPOL=0).

Data frame format
The SPI shift register can be set up to shift out MSB-first or LSB-first, depending on the
value of the LSBFIRST bit. The data frame size is chosen by using the DS bits. It can be set
from 4-bit up to 16-bit length and the setting applies for both transmission and reception.
Whatever the selected data frame size, read access to the FIFO must be aligned with the
FRXTH level. When the SPIx_DR register is accessed, data frames are always right-aligned
into either a byte (if the data fits into a byte) or a half-word (see Figure 230). During
communication, only bits within the data frame are clocked and transferred.

The minimum data length is 4 bits. If a data length of less than 4 bits is selected, it is forced
to an 8-bit data frame size.

Configuration of SPI
The configuration procedure is almost the same for master and slave. For specific mode
setups, follow the dedicated sections. When a standard communication is to be initialized,
perform these steps:
1.
2.

3.

Write proper GPIO registers: Configure GPIO for MOSI, MISO and SCK pins.
Write to the SPI_CR1 register:
a)

Configure the serial clock baud rate using the BR[2:0] bits (Note: 4).

b)

Configure the CPOL and CPHA bits combination to define one of the four
relationships between the data transfer and the serial clock (CPHA must be
cleared in NSSP mode). (Note: 2).

c)

Select simplex or half-duplex mode by configuring RXONLY or BIDIMODE and
BIDIOE (RXONLY and BIDIMODE can't be set at the same time).

d)

Configure the LSBFIRST bit to define the frame format (Note: 2).

e)

Configure the CRCL and CRCEN bits if CRC is needed (while SCK clock signal is
at idle state).

f)

Configure SSM and SSI (Notes: 2 & 3).

g)

Configure the MSTR bit (in multimaster NSS configuration, avoid conflict state on
NSS if master is configured to prevent MODF error).

Write to SPI_CR2 register:
a)

Configure the DS[3:0] bits to select the data length for the transfer.

b)

Configure SSOE (Notes: 1 & 2 & 3).

c)

Set the FRF bit if the TI protocol is required (keep NSSP bit cleared in TI mode).

d)

Set the NSSP bit if the NSS pulse mode between two data units is required (keep

CHPA and TI bits cleared in NSSP mode).

Note:

Configure the FRXTH bit. The RXFIFO threshold must be aligned to the read
access size for the SPIx_DR register.

f)

Initialize LDMA_TX and LDMA_RX bits if DMA is used in packed mode.

4.

Write to SPI_CRCPR register: Configure the CRC polynomial if needed.

26.5.8

Procedure for enabling SPI
It is recommended to enable the SPI slave before the master sends the clock. If not,
undesired data transmission might occur. The data register of the slave must already
contain data to be sent before starting communication with the master (either on the first
edge of the communication clock, or before the end of the ongoing communication if the
clock signal is continuous). The SCK signal must be settled at an idle state level
corresponding to the selected polarity before the SPI slave is enabled.
The master at full duplex (or in any transmit-only mode) starts to communicate when the SPI
is enabled and TXFIFO is not empty, or with the next write to TXFIFO.
In any master receive only mode (RXONLY=1 or BIDIMODE=1 & BIDIOE=0), master starts
to communicate and the clock starts running immediately after SPI is enabled.
For handling DMA, follow the dedicated section.

26.5.9

Data transmission and reception procedures
RXFIFO and TXFIFO
All SPI data transactions pass through the 32-bit embedded FIFOs. This enables the SPI to
work in a continuous flow, and prevents overruns when the data frame size is short. Each
direction has its own FIFO called TXFIFO and RXFIFO. These FIFOs are used in all SPI
modes except for receiver-only mode (slave or master) with CRC calculation enabled (see
Section 26.5.14: CRC calculation).
The handling of FIFOs depends on the data exchange mode (duplex, simplex), data frame
format (number of bits in the frame), access size performed on the FIFO data registers (8-bit
or 16-bit), and whether or not data packing is used when accessing the FIFOs (see
Section 26.5.13: TI mode).
A read access to the SPIx_DR register returns the oldest value stored in RXFIFO that has
not been read yet. A write access to the SPIx_DR stores the written data in the TXFIFO at
the end of a send queue. The read access must be always aligned with the RXFIFO
threshold configured by the FRXTH bit in SPIx_CR2 register. FTLVL[1:0] and FRLVL[1:0]
bits indicate the current occupancy level of both FIFOs.

RM0313

Serial peripheral interface / inter-IC sound (SPI/I2S)
A read access to the SPIx_DR register must be managed by the RXNE event. This event is
triggered when data is stored in RXFIFO and the threshold (defined by FRXTH bit) is
reached. When RXNE is cleared, RXFIFO is considered to be empty. In a similar way, write
access of a data frame to be transmitted is managed by the TXE event. This event is
triggered when the TXFIFO level is less than or equal to half of its capacity. Otherwise TXE
is cleared and the TXFIFO is considered as full. In this way, RXFIFO can store up to four
data frames, whereas TXFIFO can only store up to three when the data frame format is not
greater than 8 bits. This difference prevents possible corruption of 3x 8-bit data frames
already stored in the TXFIFO when software tries to write more data in 16-bit mode into
TXFIFO. Both TXE and RXNE events can be polled or handled by interrupts. See
Figure 232 through Figure 235.
Another way to manage the data exchange is to use DMA (see Section 10.2: DMA main
features).
If the next data is received when the RXFIFO is full, an overrun event occurs (see
description of OVR flag at Section 26.5.10: SPI status flags). An overrun event can be
polled or handled by an interrupt.
The BSY bit being set indicates ongoing transaction of a current data frame. When the clock
signal runs continuously, the BSY flag stays set between data frames at master but
becomes low for a minimum duration of one SPI clock at slave between each data frame
transfer.

Sequence handling
A few data frames can be passed at single sequence to complete a message. When
transmission is enabled, a sequence begins and continues while any data is present in the
TXFIFO of the master. The clock signal is provided continuously by the master until TXFIFO
becomes empty, then it stops waiting for additional data.
In receive-only modes, half duplex (BIDIMODE=1, BIDIOE=0) or simplex (BIDIMODE=0,
RXONLY=1) the master starts the sequence immediately when both SPI is enabled and
receive-only mode is activated. The clock signal is provided by the master and it does not
stop until either SPI or receive-only mode is disabled by the master. The master receives
data frames continuously up to this moment.
While the master can provide all the transactions in continuous mode (SCK signal is
continuous) it has to respect slave capability to handle data flow and its content at anytime.
When necessary, the master must slow down the communication and provide either a
slower clock or separate frames or data sessions with sufficient delays. Be aware there is no
underflow error signal for master or slave in SPI mode, and data from the slave is always
transacted and processed by the master even if the slave could not prepare it correctly in
time. It is preferable for the slave to use DMA, especially when data frames are shorter and
bus rate is high.
Each sequence must be encased by the NSS pulse in parallel with the multislave system to
select just one of the slaves for communication. In a single slave system it is not necessary
to control the slave with NSS, but it is often better to provide the pulse here too, to
synchronize the slave with the beginning of each data sequence. NSS can be managed by
both software and hardware (see Section 26.5.5: Slave select (NSS) pin management).
When the BSY bit is set it signifies an ongoing data frame transaction. When the dedicated
frame transaction is finished, the RXNE flag is raised. The last bit is just sampled and the
complete data frame is stored in the RXFIFO.

Procedure for disabling the SPI
When SPI is disabled, it is mandatory to follow the disable procedures described in this
paragraph. It is important to do this before the system enters a low-power mode when the
peripheral clock is stopped. Ongoing transactions can be corrupted in this case. In some
modes the disable procedure is the only way to stop continuous communication running.
Master in full duplex or transmit only mode can finish any transaction when it stops providing
data for transmission. In this case, the clock stops after the last data transaction. Special
care must be taken in packing mode when an odd number of data frames are transacted to
prevent some dummy byte exchange (refer to Data packing section). Before the SPI is
disabled in these modes, the user must follow standard disable procedure. When the SPI is
disabled at the master transmitter while a frame transaction is ongoing or next data frame is
stored in TXFIFO, the SPI behavior is not guaranteed.
When the master is in any receive only mode, the only way to stop the continuous clock is to
disable the peripheral by SPE=0. This must occur in specific time window within last data
frame transaction just between the sampling time of its first bit and before its last bit transfer
starts (in order to receive a complete number of expected data frames and to prevent any
additional “dummy” data reading after the last valid data frame). Specific procedure must be
followed when disabling SPI in this mode.
Data received but not read remains stored in RXFIFO when the SPI is disabled, and must
be processed the next time the SPI is enabled, before starting a new sequence. To prevent
having unread data, ensure that RXFIFO is empty when disabling the SPI, by using the
correct disabling procedure, or by initializing all the SPI registers with a software reset via
the control of a specific register dedicated to peripheral reset (see the SPIiRST bits in the
RCC_APBiRSTR registers).
Standard disable procedure is based on pulling BSY status together with FTLVL[1:0] to
check if a transmission session is fully completed. This check can be done in specific cases,
too, when it is necessary to identify the end of ongoing transactions, for example:
•

When NSS signal is managed by software and master has to provide proper end of
NSS pulse for slave, or

•

When transactions’ streams from DMA or FIFO are completed while the last data frame
or CRC frame transaction is still ongoing in the peripheral bus.

The correct disable procedure is (except when receive only mode is used):
1.

Wait until FTLVL[1:0] = 00 (no more data to transmit).

2.

Wait until BSY=0 (the last data frame is processed).

3.

Disable the SPI (SPE=0).

4.

Read data until FRLVL[1:0] = 00 (read all the received data).

The correct disable procedure for certain receive only modes is:

Note:

698/904

1.

Interrupt the receive flow by disabling SPI (SPE=0) in the specific time window while
the last data frame is ongoing.

2.

Wait until BSY=0 (the last data frame is processed).

3.

Read data until FRLVL[1:0] = 00 (read all the received data).

If packing mode is used and an odd number of data frames with a format less than or equal
to 8 bits (fitting into one byte) has to be received, FRXTH must be set when FRLVL[1:0] =
01, in order to generate the RXNE event to read the last odd data frame and to keep good
FIFO pointer alignment.

DocID022448 Rev 5

RM0313

Serial peripheral interface / inter-IC sound (SPI/I2S)

Data packing
When the data frame size fits into one byte (less than or equal to 8 bits), data packing is
used automatically when any read or write 16-bit access is performed on the SPIx_DR
register. The double data frame pattern is handled in parallel in this case. At first, the SPI
operates using the pattern stored in the LSB of the accessed word, then with the other half
stored in the MSB. Figure 231 provides an example of data packing mode sequence
handling. Two data frames are sent after the single 16-bit access the SPIx_DR register of
the transmitter. This sequence can generate just one RXNE event in the receiver if the
RXFIFO threshold is set to 16 bits (FRXTH=0). The receiver then has to access both data
frames by a single 16-bit read of SPIx_DR as a response to this single RXNE event. The
RxFIFO threshold setting and the following read access must be always kept aligned at the
receiver side, as data can be lost if it is not in line.
A specific problem appears if an odd number of such “fit into one byte” data frames must be
handled. On the transmitter side, writing the last data frame of any odd sequence with an 8bit access to SPIx_DR is enough. The receiver has to change the Rx_FIFO threshold level
for the last data frame received in the odd sequence of frames in order to generate the
RXNE event.

Communication using DMA (direct memory addressing)
To operate at its maximum speed and to facilitate the data register read/write process
required to avoid overrun, the SPI features a DMA capability, which implements a simple
request/acknowledge protocol.
A DMA access is requested when the TXE or RXNE enable bit in the SPIx_CR2 register is
set. Separate requests must be issued to the Tx and Rx buffers.
•

In transmission, a DMA request is issued each time TXE is set to 1. The DMA then
writes to the SPIx_DR register.

•

In reception, a DMA request is issued each time RXNE is set to 1. The DMA then reads
the SPIx_DR register.

See Figure 232 through Figure 235.
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 is 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 (the TCIF
flag is set in the DMA_ISR register), the BSY flag can be monitored to ensure that the SPI
DocID022448 Rev 5

Serial peripheral interface / inter-IC sound (SPI/I2S)

RM0313

communication is complete. This is required to avoid corrupting the last transmission before
disabling the SPI or entering the Stop mode. The software must first wait until
FTLVL[1:0]=00 and then until BSY=0.
When starting communication using DMA, to prevent DMA channel management raising
error events, these steps must be followed in order:
1.

Enable DMA Rx buffer in the RXDMAEN bit in the SPI_CR2 register, if DMA Rx is
used.

2.

Enable DMA streams for Tx and Rx in DMA registers, if the streams are used.

3.

Enable DMA Tx buffer in the TXDMAEN bit in the SPI_CR2 register, if DMA Tx is used.

4.

Enable the SPI by setting the SPE bit.

To close communication it is mandatory to follow these steps in order:
1.

Disable DMA streams for Tx and Rx in the DMA registers, if the streams are used.

2.

Disable the SPI by following the SPI disable procedure.

3.

Disable DMA Tx and Rx buffers by clearing the TXDMAEN and RXDMAEN bits in the
SPI_CR2 register, if DMA Tx and/or DMA Rx are used.

Packing with DMA
If the transfers are managed by DMA (TXDMAEN and RXDMAEN set in the SPIx_CR2
register) packing mode is enabled/disabled automatically depending on the PSIZE value
configured for SPI TX and the SPI RX DMA channel. If the DMA channel PSIZE value is
equal to 16-bit and SPI data size is less than or equal to 8-bit, then packing mode is
enabled. The DMA then automatically manages the write operations to the SPIx_DR
register.
If data packing mode is used and the number of data to transfer is not a multiple of two, the
LDMA_TX/LDMA_RX bits must be set. The SPI then considers only one data for the
transmission or reception to serve the last DMA transfer (for more details refer to Data
packing on page 699.)

Serial peripheral interface / inter-IC sound (SPI/I2S)

Communication diagrams
Some typical timing schemes are explained in this section. These schemes are valid no
matter if the SPI events are handled by polling, interrupts or DMA. For simplicity, the
LSBFIRST=0, CPOL=0 and CPHA=1 setting is used as a common assumption here. No
complete configuration of DMA streams is provided.
The following numbered notes are common for Figure 232 on page 702 through Figure 235
on page 705.
1.

The slave starts to control MISO line as NSS is active and SPI is enabled, and is
disconnected from the line when one of them is released. Sufficient time must be
provided for the slave to prepare data dedicated to the master in advance before its
transaction starts.
At the master, the SPI peripheral takes control at MOSI and SCK signals (occasionally
at NSS signal as well) only if SPI is enabled. If SPI is disabled the SPI peripheral is
disconnected from GPIO logic, so the levels at these lines depends on GPIO setting
exclusively.

2.

At the master, BSY stays active between frames if the communication (clock signal) is
continuous. At the slave, BSY signal always goes down for at least one clock cycle
between data frames.

3.

The TXE signal is cleared only if TXFIFO is full.

4.

The DMA arbitration process starts just after the TXDMAEN bit is set. The TXE
interrupt is generated just after the TXEIE is set. As the TXE signal is at an active level,
data transfers to TxFIFO start, until TxFIFO becomes full or the DMA transfer
completes.

5.

If all the data to be sent can fit into TxFIFO, the DMA Tx TCIF flag can be raised even
before communication on the SPI bus starts. This flag always rises before the SPI
transaction is completed.

6.

The CRC value for a package is calculated continuously frame by frame in the
SPIx_TxCRCR and SPIx_RxCRCR registers. The CRC information is processed after
the entire data package has completed, either automatically by DMA (Tx channel must
be set to the number of data frames to be processed) or by SW (the user must handle
CRCNEXT bit during the last data frame processing).
While the CRC value calculated in SPIx_TxCRCR is simply sent out by transmitter,
received CRC information is loaded into RxFIFO and then compared with the
SPIx_RxCRCR register content (CRC error flag can be raised here if any difference).
This is why the user must take care to flush this information from the FIFO, either by
software reading out all the stored content of RxFIFO, or by DMA when the proper
number of data frames is preset for Rx channel (number of data frames + number of
CRC frames) (see the settings at the example assumption).

7.

In data packed mode, TxE and RxNE events are paired and each read/write access to
the FIFO is 16 bits wide until the number of data frames are even. If the TxFIFO is ¾
full FTLVL status stays at FIFO full level. That is why the last odd data frame cannot be
stored before the TxFIFO becomes ½ full. This frame is stored into TxFIFO with an 8bit access either by software or automatically by DMA when LDMA_TX control is set.

8.

To receive the last odd data frame in packed mode, the Rx threshold must be changed
to 8-bit when the last data frame is processed, either by software setting FRXTH=1 or
automatically by a DMA internal signal when LDMA_RX is set.

SPI status flags
Three status flags are provided for the application to completely monitor the state of the SPI
bus.

Tx buffer empty flag (TXE)
The TXE flag is set when transmission TXFIFO has enough space to store data to send.
TXE flag is linked to the TXFIFO level. The flag goes high and stays high until the TXFIFO
level is lower or equal to 1/2 of the FIFO depth. An interrupt can be generated if the TXEIE
bit in the SPIx_CR2 register is set. The bit is cleared automatically when the TXFIFO level
becomes greater than 1/2.

Rx buffer not empty (RXNE)
The RXNE flag is set depending on the FRXTH bit value in the SPIx_CR2 register:
•

If FRXTH is set, RXNE goes high and stays high until the RXFIFO level is greater or
equal to 1/4 (8-bit).

•

If FRXTH is cleared, RXNE goes high and stays high until the RXFIFO level is greater
than or equal to 1/2 (16-bit).

An interrupt can be generated if the RXNEIE bit in the SPIx_CR2 register is set.
The RXNE is cleared by hardware automatically when the above conditions are no longer
true.

Busy flag (BSY)
The BSY flag is set and cleared by hardware (writing to this flag has no effect).
When BSY is set, it indicates that a data transfer is in progress on the SPI (the SPI bus is
busy).
The BSY flag can be used in certain modes to detect the end of a transfer so that the
software can disable the SPI or its peripheral clock before entering a low-power mode which
does not provide a clock for the peripheral. This avoids corrupting the last transfer.
The BSY flag is also useful for preventing write collisions in a multimaster system.
The BSY flag is cleared under any one of the following conditions:

Note:

706/904

•

When the SPI is correctly disabled

•

When a fault is detected in Master mode (MODF bit set to 1)

•

In Master mode, when it finishes a data transmission and no new data is ready to be
sent

•

In Slave mode, when the BSY flag is set to '0' for at least one SPI clock cycle between
each data transfer.

When the next transmission can be handled immediately by the master (e.g. if the master is
in Receive-only mode or its Transmit FIFO is not empty), communication is continuous and
the BSY flag remains set to '1' between transfers on the master side. Although this is not the
case with a slave, it is recommended to use always the TXE and RXNE flags (instead of the
BSY flags) to handle data transmission or reception operations.

26.5.11

Serial peripheral interface / inter-IC sound (SPI/I2S)

SPI error flags
An SPI interrupt is generated if one of the following error flags is set and interrupt is enabled
by setting the ERRIE bit.

Overrun flag (OVR)
An overrun condition occurs when data is received by a master or slave and the RXFIFO
has not enough space to store this received data. This can happen if the software or the
DMA did not have enough time to read the previously received data (stored in the RXFIFO)
or when space for data storage is limited e.g. the RXFIFO is not available when CRC is
enabled in receive only mode so in this case the reception buffer is limited into a single data
frame buffer (see Section 26.5.14: CRC calculation).
When an overrun condition occurs, the newly received value does not overwrite the
previous one in the RXFIFO. The newly received value is discarded and all data transmitted
subsequently is 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.

Mode fault (MODF)
Mode fault occurs when the master device has its internal NSS signal (NSS pin in NSS
hardware mode, or SSI bit in NSS software mode) pulled low. This automatically sets the
MODF bit. Master mode fault affects the SPI interface 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 cleared. This blocks all output from the device and disables the SPI
interface.

•

The MSTR bit is cleared, 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 SPIx_SR register while the MODF bit is set.

2.

Then write to the SPIx_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 the SPE and MSTR bits to be set while the MODF bit is set. In a slave device the
MODF bit cannot be set except as the result of a previous multimaster conflict.

CRC error (CRCERR)
This flag is used to verify the validity of the value received when the CRCEN bit in the
SPIx_CR1 register is set. The CRCERR flag in the SPIx_SR register is set if the value
received in the shift register does not match the receiver SPIx_RXCRCR value. The flag is
cleared by the software.

TI mode frame format error (FRE)
A TI mode frame format error is detected when an NSS pulse occurs during an ongoing
communication when the SPI is operating in slave mode and configured to conform to the TI
mode protocol. When this error occurs, the FRE flag is set in the SPIx_SR register. The SPI
is not disabled when an error occurs, the NSS pulse is ignored, and the SPI waits for the
next NSS pulse before starting a new transfer. The data may be corrupted since the error
detection may result in the loss of two data bytes.

DocID022448 Rev 5

707/904
743

Serial peripheral interface / inter-IC sound (SPI/I2S)

RM0313

The FRE flag is cleared when SPIx_SR register is read. If the ERRIE bit is set, an interrupt
is generated on the NSS error detection. In this case, the SPI should be disabled because
data consistency is no longer guaranteed and communications should be reinitiated by the
master when the slave SPI is enabled again.

26.5.12

NSS pulse mode
This mode is activated by the NSSP bit in the SPIx_CR2 register and it takes effect only if
the SPI interface is configured as Motorola SPI master (FRF=0) with capture on the first
edge (SPIx_CR1 CPHA = 0, CPOL setting is ignored). When activated, an NSS pulse is
generated between two consecutive data frame transfers when NSS stays at high level for
the duration of one clock period at least. This mode allows the slave to latch data. NSSP
pulse mode is designed for applications with a single master-slave pair.
Figure 236 illustrates NSS pin management when NSSP pulse mode is enabled.

Note:

Similar behavior is encountered when CPOL = 0. In this case the sampling edge is the rising
edge of SCK, and NSS assertion and deassertion refer to this sampling edge.

26.5.13

TI mode
TI protocol in master mode
The SPI interface is compatible with the TI protocol. The FRF bit of the SPIx_CR2 register
can be used to configure the SPI to be compliant with this protocol.
The clock polarity and phase are forced to conform to the TI protocol requirements whatever
the values set in the SPIx_CR1 register. NSS management is also specific to the TI protocol
which makes the configuration of NSS management through the SPIx_CR1 and SPIx_CR2
registers (SSM, SSI, SSOE) impossible in this case.
In slave mode, the SPI baud rate prescaler is used to control the moment when the MISO
pin state changes to HiZ when the current transaction finishes (see Figure 237). Any baud
rate can be used, making it possible to determine this moment with optimal flexibility.
However, the baud rate is generally set to the external master clock baud rate. The delay for
the MISO signal to become HiZ (trelease) depends on internal resynchronization and on the

708/904

DocID022448 Rev 5

RM0313

Serial peripheral interface / inter-IC sound (SPI/I2S)
baud rate value set in through the BR[2:0] bits in the SPIx_CR1 register. It is given by the
formula:

t baud_rate
t baud_rate
--------------------- + 4 × t pclk < t release < --------------------- + 6 × t pclk
2
2
If the slave detects a misplaced NSS pulse during a data frame transaction the TIFRE flag is
set.
If the data size is equal to 4-bits or 5-bits, the master in full-duplex mode or transmit-only
mode uses a protocol with one more dummy data bit added after LSB. TI NSS pulse is
generated above this dummy bit clock cycle instead of the LSB in each period.
This feature is not available for Motorola SPI communications (FRF bit set to 0).

selected.

CRC calculation
Two separate CRC calculators are implemented in order to check the reliability of
transmitted and received data. The SPI offers CRC8 or CRC16 calculation independently of
the frame data length, which can be fixed to 8-bit or 16-bit. For all the other data frame
lengths, no CRC is available.

CRC principle
CRC calculation is enabled by setting the CRCEN bit in the SPIx_CR1 register before the
SPI is enabled (SPE = 1). The CRC value is calculated using an odd programmable
polynomial on each bit. The calculation is processed on the sampling clock edge defined by
the CPHA and CPOL bits in the SPIx_CR1 register. The calculated CRC value is checked
automatically at the end of the data block as well as for transfer managed by CPU or by the
DMA. When a mismatch is detected between the CRC calculated internally on the received
data and the CRC sent by the transmitter, a CRCERR flag is set to indicate a data corruption
error. The right procedure for handling the CRC calculation depends on the SPI
configuration and the chosen transfer management.

DocID022448 Rev 5

709/904
743

Serial peripheral interface / inter-IC sound (SPI/I2S)
Note:

RM0313

The polynomial value should only be odd. No even values are supported.

CRC transfer managed by CPU
Communication starts and continues normally until the last data frame has to be sent or
received in the SPIx_DR register. Then CRCNEXT bit has to be set in the SPIx_CR1
register to indicate that the CRC frame transaction will follow after the transaction of the
currently processed data frame. The CRCNEXT bit must be set before the end of the last
data frame transaction. CRC calculation is frozen during CRC transaction.
The received CRC is stored in the RXFIFO like a data byte or word. That is why in CRC
mode only, the reception buffer has to be considered as a single 16-bit buffer used to
receive only one data frame at a time.
A CRC-format transaction usually takes one more data frame to communicate at the end of
data sequence. However, when setting an 8-bit data frame checked by 16-bit CRC, two
more frames are necessary to send the complete CRC.
When the last CRC data is received, an automatic check is performed comparing the
received value and the value in the SPIx_RXCRC register. Software has to check the
CRCERR flag in the SPIx_SR register to determine if the data transfers were corrupted or
not. Software clears the CRCERR flag by writing '0' to it.
After the CRC reception, the CRC value is stored in the RXFIFO and must be read in the
SPIx_DR register in order to clear the RXNE flag.

CRC transfer managed by DMA
When SPI communication is enabled with CRC communication and DMA mode, the
transmission and reception of the CRC at the end of communication is automatic (with the
exception of reading CRC data in receive only mode). The CRCNEXT bit does not have to
be handled by the software. The counter for the SPI transmission DMA channel has to be
set to the number of data frames to transmit excluding the CRC frame. On the receiver side,
the received CRC value is handled automatically by DMA at the end of the transaction but
user must take care to flush out received CRC information from RXFIFO as it is always
loaded into it. In full duplex mode, the counter of the reception DMA channel can be set to
the number of data frames to receive including the CRC, which means, for example, in the
specific case of an 8-bit data frame checked by 16-bit CRC:
DMA_RX = Numb_of_data + 2
In receive only mode, the DMA reception channel counter should contain only the amount of
data transferred, excluding the CRC calculation. Then based on the complete transfer from
DMA, all the CRC values must be read back by software from FIFO as it works as a single
buffer in this mode.
At the end of the data and CRC transfers, the CRCERR flag in the SPIx_SR register is set if
corruption occurred during the transfer.
If packing mode is used, the LDMA_RX bit needs managing if the number of data is odd.

Resetting the SPIx_TXCRC and SPIx_RXCRC values
The SPIx_TXCRC and SPIx_RXCRC values are cleared automatically when new data is
sampled after a CRC phase. This allows the use of DMA circular mode (not available in
receive-only mode) in order to transfer data without any interruption, (several data blocks
covered by intermediate CRC checking phases).

710/904

Serial peripheral interface / inter-IC sound (SPI/I2S)
If the SPI is disabled during a communication the following sequence must be followed:
1.

Disable the SPI

2.

Clear the CRCEN bit

3.

Enable the CRCEN bit

4.

Enable the SPI

Note:

When the SPI is in slave mode, the CRC calculator is sensitive to the SCK slave input clock
as soon as the CRCEN bit is set, and this is the case whatever the value of the SPE bit. In
order to avoid any wrong CRC calculation, the software must enable CRC calculation only
when the clock is stable (in steady state). When the SPI interface is configured as a slave,
the NSS internal signal needs to be kept low between the data phase and the CRC phase.

mode.

The SPI can function as an audio I2S interface when the I2S capability is enabled (by setting
the I2SMOD bit in the SPIx_I2SCFGR register). This interface mainly uses the same pins,
flags and interrupts as the SPI.

712/904

DocID022448 Rev 5

RM0313

Serial peripheral interface / inter-IC sound (SPI/I2S)
The I2S shares three common pins with the SPI:
•

SD: Serial Data (mapped on the MOSI pin) to transmit or receive the two timemultiplexed data channels (in half-duplex mode only).

•

WS: Word Select (mapped on the NSS pin) is the data control signal output in master
mode and input in slave mode.

•

CK: Serial Clock (mapped on the SCK pin) is the serial clock output in master mode
and serial clock input in slave mode.

An additional pin can be used when a master clock output is needed for some external
audio devices:
•

MCK: Master Clock (mapped separately) is used, when the I2S is configured in master
mode (and when the MCKOE bit in the SPIx_I2SPR register is set), to output this
additional clock generated at a preconfigured frequency rate equal to 256 × fS, where
fS is the audio sampling frequency.

The I2S uses its own clock generator to produce the communication clock when it is set in
master mode. This clock generator is also the source of the master clock output. Two
additional registers are available in I2S mode. One is linked to the clock generator
configuration SPIx_I2SPR and the other one is a generic I2S configuration register
SPIx_I2SCFGR (audio standard, slave/master mode, data format, packet frame, clock
polarity, etc.).
The SPIx_CR1 register and all CRC registers are not used in the I2S mode. Likewise, the
SSOE bit in the SPIx_CR2 register and the MODF and CRCERR bits in the SPIx_SR are
not used.
The I2S uses the same SPI register for data transfer (SPIx_DR) in 16-bit wide mode.

26.7.2

Supported audio protocols
The three-line bus has to handle only audio data generally time-multiplexed on two
channels: the right channel and the left channel. However there is only one 16-bit register
for transmission or reception. So, it is up to the software to write into the data register the
appropriate value corresponding to each channel side, or to read the data from the data
register and to identify the corresponding channel by checking the CHSIDE bit in the
SPIx_SR register. Channel left is always sent first followed by the channel right (CHSIDE
has no meaning for the PCM protocol).
Four data and packet frames are available. Data may be sent with a format of:
•

16-bit data packed in a 16-bit frame

•

16-bit data packed in a 32-bit frame

•

24-bit data packed in a 32-bit frame

•

32-bit data packed in a 32-bit frame

When using 16-bit data extended on 32-bit packet, the first 16 bits (MSB) are the significant
bits, the 16-bit LSB is forced to 0 without any need for software action or DMA request (only
one read/write operation).
The 24-bit and 32-bit data frames need two CPU read or write operations to/from the
SPIx_DR register or two DMA operations if the DMA is preferred for the application. For 24bit data frame specifically, the 8 non-significant bits are extended to 32 bits with 0-bits (by
hardware).

Serial peripheral interface / inter-IC sound (SPI/I2S)

For all data formats and communication standards, the most significant bit is always sent
first (MSB first).
The I2S interface supports four audio standards, configurable using the I2SSTD[1:0] and
PCMSYNC bits in the SPIx_I2SCFGR register.

I2S Philips standard
For this standard, the WS signal is used to indicate which channel is being transmitted. It is
activated one CK clock cycle before the first bit (MSB) is available.

For transmission, each time an MSB is written to SPIx_DR, the TXE flag is set and its
interrupt, if allowed, is generated to load the SPIx_DR register with the new value to send.
This takes place even if 0x0000 have not yet been sent because it is done by hardware.
For reception, the RXNE flag is set and its interrupt, if allowed, is generated when the first
16 MSB half-word is received.
In this way, more time is provided between two write or read operations, which prevents
underrun or overrun conditions (depending on the direction of the data transfer).

The TXE flag is set again as soon as the effective data (0x76A3) is sent on SD.
In reception mode, RXNE is asserted as soon as the significant half-word is received (and
not the 0x0000 field).
In this way, more time is provided between two write or read operations to prevent underrun
or overrun conditions.

PCM standard
For the PCM standard, there is no need to use channel-side information. The two PCM
modes (short and long frame) are available and configurable using the PCMSYNC bit in
SPIx_I2SCFGR register.
In PCM mode, the output signals (WS, SD) are sampled on the rising edge of CK signal.
The input signals (WS, SD) are captured on the falling edge of CK.
Note that CK and WS are configured as output in MASTER mode.

For long frame synchronization, the WS signal assertion time is fixed to 13 bits in master
mode.

For both modes (master and slave) and for both synchronizations (short and long), the
number of bits between two consecutive pieces of data (and so two synchronization signals)
needs to be specified (DATLEN and CHLEN bits in the SPIx_I2SCFGR register) even in
slave mode.

In slave mode, the user has to enable the audio interface before the WS becomes active.
This means that the I2SE bit must be set to 1 when WS = 1 for I2S Philips standard, or when
WS = 0 for other standards.

26.7.4

Clock generator
The I2S bit rate determines the data flow on the I2S data line and the I2S clock signal
frequency.
I2S bit rate = number of bits per channel × number of channels × sampling audio frequency
For a 16-bit audio, left and right channel, the I2S bit rate is calculated as follows:
I2S bit rate = 16 × 2 × fS
It will be: I2S bit rate = 32 x 2 x fS if the packet length is 32-bit wide.

Figure 258 presents the communication clock architecture. The I2Sx clock is always the
system clock.
The audio sampling frequency may be 192 kHz, 96 kHz, 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz,
22.05 kHz, 16 kHz, 11.025 kHz or 8 kHz (or any other value within this range). In order to
reach the desired frequency, the linear divider needs to be programmed according to the
formulas below:
When the master clock is generated (MCKOE in the SPIx_I2SPR register is set):
fS = I2SxCLK / [(16*2)*((2*I2SDIV)+ODD)*8)] when the channel frame is 16-bit wide
fS = I2SxCLK / [(32*2)*((2*I2SDIV)+ODD)*4)] when the channel frame is 32-bit wide
When the master clock is disabled (MCKOE bit cleared):
fS = I2SxCLK / [(16*2)*((2*I2SDIV)+ODD))] when the channel frame is 16-bit wide
fS = I2SxCLK / [(32*2)*((2*I2SDIV)+ODD))] when the channel frame is 32-bit wide
Table 94 provides example precision values for different clock configurations.

Other configurations are possible that allow optimum clock precision.

1. This table gives only example values for different clock configurations. Other configurations allowing optimum clock
precision are possible.

26.7.5

I2S master mode
The I2S can be configured in master mode. This means that the serial clock is generated on
the CK pin as well as the Word Select signal WS. Master clock (MCK) may be output or not,
controlled by the MCKOE bit in the SPIx_I2SPR register.

Procedure

724/904

1.

Select the I2SDIV[7:0] bits in the SPIx_I2SPR register to define the serial clock baud
rate to reach the proper audio sample frequency. The ODD bit in the SPIx_I2SPR
register also has to be defined.

2.

Select the CKPOL bit to define the steady level for the communication clock. Set the
MCKOE bit in the SPIx_I2SPR register if the master clock MCK needs to be provided
to the external DAC/ADC audio component (the I2SDIV and ODD values should be
computed depending on the state of the MCK output, for more details refer to
Section 26.7.4: Clock generator).

3.

Set the I2SMOD bit in the SPIx_I2SCFGR register to activate the I2S functions and
choose the I2S standard through the I2SSTD[1:0] and PCMSYNC bits, the data length
through the DATLEN[1:0] bits and the number of bits per channel by configuring the

DocID022448 Rev 5

RM0313

Serial peripheral interface / inter-IC sound (SPI/I2S)
CHLEN bit. Select also the I2S master mode and direction (Transmitter or Receiver)
through the I2SCFG[1:0] bits in the SPIx_I2SCFGR register.
4.

If needed, select all the potential interrupt sources and the DMA capabilities by writing
the SPIx_CR2 register.

5.

The I2SE bit in SPIx_I2SCFGR register must be set.

WS and CK are configured in output mode. MCK is also an output, if the MCKOE bit in
SPIx_I2SPR is set.

Transmission sequence
The transmission sequence begins when a half-word is written into the Tx buffer.
Lets assume the first data written into the Tx buffer corresponds to the left channel data.
When data are transferred from the Tx buffer to the shift register, TXE is set and data
corresponding to the right channel have to be written into the Tx buffer. The CHSIDE flag
indicates which channel is to be transmitted. It has a meaning when the TXE flag is set
because the CHSIDE flag is updated when TXE goes high.
A full frame has to be considered as a left channel data transmission followed by a right
channel data transmission. It is not possible to have a partial frame where only the left
channel is sent.
The data half-word is parallel loaded into the 16-bit shift register during the first bit
transmission, and then shifted out, serially, to the MOSI/SD pin, MSB first. The TXE flag is
set after each transfer from the Tx buffer to the shift register and an interrupt is generated if
the TXEIE bit in the SPIx_CR2 register is set.
For more details about the write operations depending on the I2S standard mode selected,
refer to Section 26.7.2: Supported audio protocols).
To ensure a continuous audio data transmission, it is mandatory to write the SPIx_DR
register with the next data to transmit before the end of the current transmission.
To switch off the I2S, by clearing I2SE, it is mandatory to wait for TXE = 1 and BSY = 0.

Reception sequence
The operating mode is the same as for transmission mode except for the point 3 (refer to the
procedure described in Section 26.7.5: I2S master mode), where the configuration should
set the master reception mode through the I2SCFG[1:0] bits.
Whatever the data or channel length, the audio data are received by 16-bit packets. This
means that each time the Rx buffer is full, the RXNE flag is set and an interrupt is generated
if the RXNEIE bit is set in SPIx_CR2 register. Depending on the data and channel length
configuration, the audio value received for a right or left channel may result from one or two
receptions into the Rx buffer.
Clearing the RXNE bit is performed by reading the SPIx_DR register.
CHSIDE is updated after each reception. It is sensitive to the WS signal generated by the
I2S cell.
For more details about the read operations depending on the I2S standard mode selected,
refer to Section 26.7.2: Supported audio protocols.
If data are received while the previously received data have not been read yet, an overrun is
generated and the OVR flag is set. If the ERRIE bit is set in the SPIx_CR2 register, an
interrupt is generated to indicate the error.

To switch off the I2S, specific actions are required to ensure that the I2S completes the
transfer cycle properly without initiating a new data transfer. The sequence depends on the
configuration of the data and channel lengths, and on the audio protocol mode selected. In
the case of:
•

•

•

16-bit data length extended on 32-bit channel length (DATLEN = 00 and CHLEN = 1)
using the LSB justified mode (I2SSTD = 10)
a)

Wait for the second to last RXNE = 1 (n – 1)

b)

Then wait 17 I2S clock cycles (using a software loop)

c)

Disable the I2S (I2SE = 0)

16-bit data length extended on 32-bit channel length (DATLEN = 00 and CHLEN = 1) in
MSB justified, I2S or PCM modes (I2SSTD = 00, I2SSTD = 01 or I2SSTD = 11,
respectively)
a)

Wait for the last RXNE

b)

Then wait 1 I2S clock cycle (using a software loop)

c)

Disable the I2S (I2SE = 0)

For all other combinations of DATLEN and CHLEN, whatever the audio mode selected
through the I2SSTD bits, carry out the following sequence to switch off the I2S:
a)

Wait for the second to last RXNE = 1 (n – 1)

b)

Then wait one I2S clock cycle (using a software loop)

c)

Disable the I2S (I2SE = 0)

Note:

The BSY flag is kept low during transfers.

26.7.6

I2S slave mode
For the slave configuration, the I2S can be configured in transmission or reception mode.
The operating mode is following mainly the same rules as described for the I2S master
configuration. In slave mode, there is no clock to be generated by the I2S interface. The
clock and WS signals are input from the external master connected to the I2S interface.
There is then no need, for the user, to configure the clock.
The configuration steps to follow are listed below:

Note:

1.

Set the I2SMOD bit in the SPIx_I2SCFGR register to select I2S mode and choose the
I2S standard through the I2SSTD[1:0] bits, the data length through the DATLEN[1:0]
bits and the number of bits per channel for the frame configuring the CHLEN bit. Select
also the mode (transmission or reception) for the slave through the I2SCFG[1:0] bits in
SPIx_I2SCFGR register.

2.

If needed, select all the potential interrupt sources and the DMA capabilities by writing
the SPIx_CR2 register.

3.

The I2SE bit in SPIx_I2SCFGR register must be set.

The I2S slave must be enabled after the external master sets the WS line at high level if the
I2S protocol is selected, or at low level if the LSB or MSB-justified mode is selected.

Transmission sequence
The transmission sequence begins when the external master device sends the clock and
when the NSS_WS signal requests the transfer of data. The slave has to be enabled before
the external master starts the communication. The I2S data register has to be loaded before
the master initiates the communication.

726/904

DocID022448 Rev 5

RM0313

Serial peripheral interface / inter-IC sound (SPI/I2S)
For the I2S, MSB justified and LSB justified modes, the first data item to be written into the
data register corresponds to the data for the left channel. When the communication starts,
the data are transferred from the Tx buffer to the shift register. The TXE flag is then set in
order to request the right channel data to be written into the I2S data register.
The CHSIDE flag indicates which channel is to be transmitted. Compared to the master
transmission mode, in slave mode, CHSIDE is sensitive to the WS signal coming from the
external master. This means that the slave needs to be ready to transmit the first data
before the clock is generated by the master. WS assertion corresponds to left channel
transmitted first.

Note:

The I2SE has to be written at least two PCLK cycles before the first clock of the master
comes on the CK line.
The data half-word is parallel-loaded into the 16-bit shift register (from the internal bus)
during the first bit transmission, and then shifted out serially to the MOSI/SD pin MSB first.
The TXE flag is set after each transfer from the Tx buffer to the shift register and an interrupt
is generated if the TXEIE bit in the SPIx_CR2 register is set.
Note that the TXE flag should be checked to be at 1 before attempting to write the Tx buffer.
For more details about the write operations depending on the I2S standard mode selected,
refer to Section 26.7.2: Supported audio protocols.
To secure a continuous audio data transmission, it is mandatory to write the SPIx_DR
register with the next data to transmit before the end of the current transmission. An
underrun flag is set and an interrupt may be generated if the data are not written into the
SPIx_DR register before the first clock edge of the next data communication. This indicates
to the software that the transferred data are wrong. If the ERRIE bit is set into the SPIx_CR2
register, an interrupt is generated when the UDR flag in the SPIx_SR register goes high. In
this case, it is mandatory to switch off the I2S and to restart a data transfer starting from the
left channel.
To switch off the I2S, by clearing the I2SE bit, it is mandatory to wait for TXE = 1 and
BSY = 0.

Reception sequence
The operating mode is the same as for the transmission mode except for the point 1 (refer to
the procedure described in Section 26.7.6: I2S slave mode), where the configuration should
set the master reception mode using the I2SCFG[1:0] bits in the SPIx_I2SCFGR register.
Whatever the data length or the channel length, the audio data are received by 16-bit
packets. This means that each time the RX buffer is full, the RXNE flag in the SPIx_SR
register is set and an interrupt is generated if the RXNEIE bit is set in the SPIx_CR2
register. Depending on the data length and channel length configuration, the audio value
received for a right or left channel may result from one or two receptions into the RX buffer.
The CHSIDE flag is updated each time data are received to be read from the SPIx_DR
register. It is sensitive to the external WS line managed by the external master component.
Clearing the RXNE bit is performed by reading the SPIx_DR register.
For more details about the read operations depending the I2S standard mode selected, refer
to Section 26.7.2: Supported audio protocols.
If data are received while the preceding received data have not yet been read, an overrun is
generated and the OVR flag is set. If the bit ERRIE is set in the SPIx_CR2 register, an
interrupt is generated to indicate the error.
DocID022448 Rev 5

727/904
743

Serial peripheral interface / inter-IC sound (SPI/I2S)

RM0313

To switch off the I2S in reception mode, I2SE has to be cleared immediately after receiving
the last RXNE = 1.
Note:

The external master components should have the capability of sending/receiving data in 16bit or 32-bit packets via an audio channel.

26.7.7

I2S status flags
Three status flags are provided for the application to fully monitor the state of the I2S bus.

Busy flag (BSY)
The BSY flag is set and cleared by hardware (writing to this flag has no effect). It indicates
the state of the communication layer of the I2S.
When BSY is set, it indicates that the I2S is busy communicating. There is one exception in
master receive mode (I2SCFG = 11) where the BSY flag is kept low during reception.
The BSY flag is useful to detect the end of a transfer if the software needs to disable the I2S.
This avoids corrupting the last transfer. For this, the procedure described below must be
strictly respected.
The BSY flag is set when a transfer starts, except when the I2S is in master receiver mode.
The BSY flag is cleared:
•

When a transfer completes (except in master transmit mode, in which the
communication is supposed to be continuous)

•

When the I2S is disabled

When communication is continuous:

Note:

•

In master transmit mode, the BSY flag is kept high during all the transfers

•

In slave mode, the BSY flag goes low for one I2S clock cycle between each transfer

Do not use the BSY flag to handle each data transmission or reception. It is better to use the
TXE and RXNE flags instead.

Tx buffer empty flag (TXE)
When set, this flag indicates that the Tx buffer is empty and the next data to be transmitted
can then be loaded into it. The TXE flag is reset when the Tx buffer already contains data to
be transmitted. It is also reset when the I2S is disabled (I2SE bit is reset).

RX buffer not empty (RXNE)
When set, this flag indicates that there are valid received data in the RX Buffer. It is reset
when SPIx_DR register is read.

Channel Side flag (CHSIDE)
In transmission mode, this flag is refreshed when TXE goes high. It indicates the channel
side to which the data to transfer on SD has to belong. In case of an underrun error event in
slave transmission mode, this flag is not reliable and I2S needs to be switched off and
switched on before resuming the communication.
In reception mode, this flag is refreshed when data are received into SPIx_DR. It indicates
from which channel side data have been received. Note that in case of error (like OVR) this

728/904

RM0313

Serial peripheral interface / inter-IC sound (SPI/I2S)
flag becomes meaningless and the I2S should be reset by disabling and then enabling it
(with configuration if it needs changing).
This flag has no meaning in the PCM standard (for both Short and Long frame modes).
When the OVR or UDR flag in the SPIx_SR is set and the ERRIE bit in SPIx_CR2 is also
set, an interrupt is generated. This interrupt can be cleared by reading the SPIx_SR status
register (once the interrupt source has been cleared).

26.7.8

I2S error flags
There are three error flags for the I2S cell.

Underrun flag (UDR)
In slave transmission mode this flag is set when the first clock for data transmission appears
while the software has not yet loaded any value into SPIx_DR. It is available when the
I2SMOD bit in the SPIx_I2SCFGR register is set. An interrupt may be generated if the
ERRIE bit in the SPIx_CR2 register is set.
The UDR bit is cleared by a read operation on the SPIx_SR register.

Overrun flag (OVR)
This flag is set when data are received and the previous data have not yet been read from
the SPIx_DR register. As a result, the incoming data are lost. An interrupt may be generated
if the ERRIE bit is set in the SPIx_CR2 register.
In this case, the receive buffer contents are not updated with the newly received data from
the transmitter device. A read operation to the SPIx_DR register returns the previous
correctly received data. All other subsequently transmitted half-words are lost.
Clearing the OVR bit is done by a read operation on the SPIx_DR register followed by a
read access to the SPIx_SR register.

Frame error flag (FRE)
This flag can be set by hardware only if the I2S is configured in Slave mode. It is set if the
external master is changing the WS line while the slave is not expecting this change. If the
synchronization is lost, the following steps are required to recover from this state and
resynchronize the external master device with the I2S slave device:
1.

Disable the I2S.

2.

Enable it again when the correct level is detected on the WS line (WS line is high in I2S
mode or low for MSB- or LSB-justified or PCM modes.

Desynchronization between master and slave devices may be due to noisy environment on
the CK communication clock or on the WS frame synchronization line. An error interrupt can
be generated if the ERRIE bit is set. The desynchronization flag (FRE) is cleared by
software when the status register is read.

26.7.9

DMA features
In I2S mode, the DMA works in exactly the same way as it does in SPI mode. There is no
difference except that the CRC feature is not available in I2S mode since there is no data
transfer protection system.

Touch sensing controller (TSC)

27.1

Introduction
The touch sensing controller provides a simple solution for adding capacitive sensing
functionality to any application. Capacitive sensing technology is able to detect finger
presence near an electrode which is protected from direct touch by a dielectric (for example
glass, plastic). The capacitive variation introduced by the finger (or any conductive object) is
measured using a proven implementation based on a surface charge transfer acquisition
principle.
The touch sensing controller is fully supported by the STMTouch touch sensing firmware
library which is free to use and allows touch sensing functionality to be implemented reliably
in the end application.

27.2

TSC main features
The touch sensing controller has the following main features:

27.3.2

Surface charge transfer acquisition overview
The surface charge transfer acquisition is a proven, robust and efficient way to measure a
capacitance. It uses a minimum number of external components to operate with a single
ended electrode type. This acquisition is designed around an analog I/O group which is
composed of four GPIOs (see Figure 260). Several analog I/O groups are available to allow
the acquisition of several capacitive sensing channels simultaneously and to support a
larger number of capacitive sensing channels. Within a same analog I/O group, the
acquisition of the capacitive sensing channels is sequential.
One of the GPIOs is dedicated to the sampling capacitor CS. Only one sampling capacitor
I/O per analog I/O group must be enabled at a time.

DocID022448 Rev 5

745/904
762

Touch sensing controller (TSC)

RM0313

The remaining GPIOs are dedicated to the electrodes and are commonly called channels.
For some specific needs (such as proximity detection), it is possible to simultaneously
enable more than one channel per analog I/O group.

Note:

Gx_IOy where x is the analog I/O group number and y the GPIO number within the selected
group.
The surface charge transfer acquisition principle consists of charging an electrode
capacitance (CX) and transferring a part of the accumulated charge into a sampling
capacitor (CS). This sequence is repeated until the voltage across CS reaches a given
threshold (VIH in our case). The number of charge transfers required to reach the threshold
is a direct representation of the size of the electrode capacitance.
The Table 97 details the charge transfer acquisition sequence of the capacitive sensing
channel 1. States 3 to 7 are repeated until the voltage across CS reaches the given
threshold. The same sequence applies to the acquisition of the other channels. The
electrode serial resistor RS improves the ESD immunity of the solution.

Reset and clocks
The TSC clock source is the AHB clock (HCLK). Two programmable prescalers are used to
generate the pulse generator and the spread spectrum internal clocks:
•

The pulse generator clock (PGCLK) is defined using the PGPSC[2:0] bits of the
TSC_CR register

•

The spread spectrum clock (SSCLK) is defined using the SSPSC bit of the TSC_CR
register

The Reset and Clock Controller (RCC) provides dedicated bits to enable the touch sensing
controller clock and to reset this peripheral. For more information, please refer to Section 7:
Reset and clock control (RCC).

For higher flexibility, the charge transfer frequency is fully configurable. Both the pulse high
state (charge of CX) and the pulse low state (transfer of charge from CX to CS) duration can
be defined using the CTPH[3:0] and CTPL[3:0] bits in the TSC_CR register. The standard
range for the pulse high and low states duration is 500 ns to 2 µs. To ensure a correct
measurement of the electrode capacitance, the pulse high state duration must be set to
ensure that CX is always fully charged.
A dead time where both the sampling capacitor I/O and the channel I/O are in input floating
state is inserted between the pulse high and low states to ensure an optimum charge
transfer acquisition sequence. This state duration is 2 periods of HCLK.
At the end of the pulse high state and if the spread spectrum feature is enabled, a variable
number of periods of the SSCLK clock are added.
The reading of the sampling capacitor I/O, to determine if the voltage across CS has
reached the given threshold, is performed at the end of the pulse low state and its duration
is one period of HCLK.

27.3.5

Touch sensing controller (TSC)

Spread spectrum feature
The spread spectrum feature allows to generate a variation of the charge transfer
frequency. This is done to improve the robustness of the charge transfer acquisition in noisy
environments and also to reduce the induced emission. The maximum frequency variation
is in the range of 10% to 50% of the nominal charge transfer period. For instance, for a
nominal charge transfer frequency of 250 kHz (4 µs), the typical spread spectrum deviation
is 10% (400 ns) which leads to a minimum charge transfer frequency of ~227 kHz.
In practice, the spread spectrum consists of adding a variable number of SSCLK periods to
the pulse high state using the principle shown below:

The spread spectrum feature can be disabled/enabled using the SSE bit in the TSC_CR
register. The frequency deviation is also configurable to accommodate the device HCLK
clock frequency and the selected charge transfer frequency through the SSPSC and
SSD[6:0] bits in the TSC_CR register.

27.3.6

Max count error
The max count error prevents long acquisition times resulting from a faulty capacitive
sensing channel. It consists of specifying a maximum count value for the analog I/O group
counters. This maximum count value is specified using the MCV[2:0] bits in the TSC_CR
register. As soon as an acquisition group counter reaches this maximum value, the ongoing
acquisition is stopped and the end of acquisition (EOAF bit) and max count error (MCEF bit)
flags are both set. An interrupt can also be generated if the corresponding end of acquisition
(EOAIE bit) or/and max count error (MCEIE bit) interrupt enable bits are set.

RM0313

Sampling capacitor I/O and channel I/O mode selection
To allow the GPIOs to be controlled by the touch sensing controller, the corresponding
alternate function must be enabled through the standard GPIO registers and the GPIOxAFR
registers.
The GPIOs modes controlled by the TSC are defined using the TSC_IOSCR and
TSC_IOCCR register.
When there is no ongoing acquisition, all the I/Os controlled by the touch sensing controller
are in default state. While an acquisition is ongoing, only unused I/Os (neither defined as
sampling capacitor I/O nor as channel I/O) are in default state. The IODEF bit in the
TSC_CR register defines the configuration of the I/Os which are in default state. The table
below summarizes the configuration of the I/O depending on its mode.

Unused I/O mode
An unused I/O corresponds to a GPIO controlled by the TSC peripheral but not defined as
an electrode I/O nor as a sampling capacitor I/O.
Sampling capacitor I/O mode
To allow the control of the sampling capacitor I/O by the TSC peripheral, the corresponding
GPIO must be first set to alternate output open drain mode and then the corresponding
Gx_IOy bit in the TSC_IOSCR register must be set.
Only one sampling capacitor per analog I/O group must be enabled at a time.
Channel I/O mode
To allow the control of the channel I/O by the TSC peripheral, the corresponding GPIO must
be first set to alternate output push-pull mode and the corresponding Gx_IOy bit in the
TSC_IOCCR register must be set.
For proximity detection where a higher equivalent electrode surface is required or to speedup the acquisition process, it is possible to enable and simultaneously acquire several
channels belonging to the same analog I/O group.

750/904

DocID022448 Rev 5

RM0313

Touch sensing controller (TSC)

Note:

During the acquisition phase and even if the TSC peripheral alternate function is not
enabled, as soon as the TSC_IOSCR or TSC_IOCCR bit is set, the corresponding GPIO
analog switch is automatically controlled by the touch sensing controller.

27.3.8

Acquisition mode
The touch sensing controller offers two acquisition modes:
•

Normal acquisition mode: the acquisition starts as soon as the START bit in the
TSC_CR register is set.

•

Synchronized acquisition mode: the acquisition is enabled by setting the START bit in
the TSC_CR register but only starts upon the detection of a falling edge or a rising
edge and high level on the SYNC input pin. This mode is useful for synchronizing the
capacitive sensing channels acquisition with an external signal without additional CPU
load.

The GxE bits in the TSC_IOGCSR registers specify which analog I/O groups are enabled
(corresponding counter is counting). The CS voltage of a disabled analog I/O group is not
monitored and this group does not participate in the triggering of the end of acquisition flag.
However, if the disabled analog I/O group contains some channels, they will be pulsed.
When the CS voltage of an enabled analog I/O group reaches the given threshold, the
corresponding GxS bit of the TSC_IOGCSR register is set. When the acquisition of all
enabled analog I/O groups is complete (all GxS bits of all enabled analog I/O groups are
set), the EOAF flag in the TSC_ISR register is set. An interrupt request is generated if the
EOAIE bit in the TSC_IER register is set.
In the case that a max count error is detected, the ongoing acquisition is stopped and both
the EOAF and MCEF flags in the TSC_ISR register are set. Interrupt requests can be
generated for both events if the corresponding bits (EOAIE and MCEIE bits of the TSCIER
register) are set. Note that when the max count error is detected the remaining GxS bits in
the enabled analog I/O groups are not set.
To clear the interrupt flags, the corresponding EOAIC and MCEIC bits in the TSC_ICR
register must be set.
The analog I/O group counters are cleared when a new acquisition is started. They are
updated with the number of charge transfer cycles generated on the corresponding
channel(s) upon the completion of the acquisition.

27.3.9

I/O hysteresis and analog switch control
In order to offer a higher flexibility, the touch sensing controller also allows to take the control
of the Schmitt trigger hysteresis and analog switch of each Gx_IOy. This control is available
whatever the I/O control mode is (controlled by standard GPIO registers or other
peripherals) assuming that the touch sensing controller is enabled. This may be useful to
perform a different acquisition sequence or for other purposes.
In order to improve the system immunity, the Schmitt trigger hysteresis of the GPIOs
controlled by the TSC must be disabled by resetting the corresponding Gx_IOy bit in the
TSC_IOHCR register.

bxCAN general description
In today’s CAN applications, the number of nodes in a network is increasing and often
several networks are linked together via gateways. Typically the number of messages in the
system (and thus to be handled by each node) has significantly increased. In addition to the
application messages, Network Management and Diagnostic messages have been
introduced.
•

An enhanced filtering mechanism is required to handle each type of message.

Furthermore, application tasks require more CPU time, therefore real-time constraints
caused by message reception have to be reduced.
•

A receive FIFO scheme allows the CPU to be dedicated to application tasks for a long
time period without losing messages.

The standard HLP (Higher Layer Protocol) based on standard CAN drivers requires an
efficient interface to the CAN controller.

28.3.1

CAN 2.0B active core
The bxCAN module handles the transmission and the reception of CAN messages fully
autonomously. Standard identifiers (11-bit) and extended identifiers (29-bit) are fully
supported by hardware.

28.3.2

Control, status and configuration registers
The application uses these registers to:

28.3.3

•

Configure CAN parameters, e.g. baud rate

•

Request transmissions

•

Handle receptions

•

Manage interrupts

•

Get diagnostic information

Tx mailboxes
Three transmit mailboxes are provided to the software for setting up messages. The
transmission Scheduler decides which mailbox has to be transmitted first.

764/904

DocID022448 Rev 5

RM0313

28.3.4

Controller area network (bxCAN)

Acceptance filters
The bxCAN provides scalable/configurable identifier filter banks for selecting the incoming
messages the software needs and discarding the others.

Receive FIFO
Two receive FIFOs are used by hardware to store the incoming messages. Three complete
messages can be stored in each FIFO. The FIFOs are managed completely by hardware.

28.4

bxCAN operating modes
bxCAN has three main operating modes: initialization, normal and Sleep. After a
hardware reset, bxCAN is in Sleep mode to reduce power consumption and an internal pullup is active on CANTX. The software requests bxCAN to enter initialization or Sleep mode
by setting the INRQ or SLEEP bits in the CAN_MCR register. Once the mode has been
entered, bxCAN confirms it by setting the INAK or SLAK bits in the CAN_MSR register and
the internal pull-up is disabled. When neither INAK nor SLAK are set, bxCAN is in normal
mode. Before entering normal mode bxCAN always has to synchronize on the CAN bus.
To synchronize, bxCAN waits until the CAN bus is idle, this means 11 consecutive recessive
bits have been monitored on CANRX.

28.4.1

Initialization mode
The software initialization can be done while the hardware is in Initialization mode. To enter
this mode the software sets the INRQ bit in the CAN_MCR register and waits until the
hardware has confirmed the request by setting the INAK bit in the CAN_MSR register.
To leave Initialization mode, the software clears the INQR bit. bxCAN has left Initialization
mode once the INAK bit has been cleared by hardware.
While in Initialization Mode, all message transfers to and from the CAN bus are stopped and
the status of the CAN bus output CANTX is recessive (high).
Entering Initialization Mode does not change any of the configuration registers.
To initialize the CAN Controller, software has to set up the Bit Timing (CAN_BTR) and CAN
options (CAN_MCR) registers.
To initialize the registers associated with the CAN filter banks (mode, scale, FIFO
assignment, activation and filter values), software has to set the FINIT bit (CAN_FMR). Filter
initialization also can be done outside the initialization mode.

Note:

When FINIT=1, CAN reception is deactivated.
The filter values also can be modified by deactivating the associated filter activation bits (in
the CAN_FA1R register).
If a filter bank is not used, it is recommended to leave it non active (leave the corresponding
FACT bit cleared).

28.4.2

Normal mode
Once the initialization is complete, the software must request the hardware to enter Normal
mode to be able to synchronize on the CAN bus and start reception and transmission.

DocID022448 Rev 5

765/904
806

Controller area network (bxCAN)

RM0313

The request to enter Normal mode is issued by clearing the INRQ bit in the CAN_MCR
register. The bxCAN enters Normal mode and is ready to take part in bus activities when it
has synchronized with the data transfer on the CAN bus. This is done by waiting for the
occurrence of a sequence of 11 consecutive recessive bits (Bus Idle state). The switch to
Normal mode is confirmed by the hardware by clearing the INAK bit in the CAN_MSR
register.
The initialization of the filter values is independent from Initialization Mode but must be done
while the filter is not active (corresponding FACTx bit cleared). The filter scale and mode
configuration must be configured before entering Normal Mode.

28.4.3

Sleep mode (low-power)
To reduce power consumption, bxCAN has a low-power mode called Sleep mode. This
mode is entered on software request by setting the SLEEP bit in the CAN_MCR register. In
this mode, the bxCAN clock is stopped, however software can still access the bxCAN
mailboxes.
If software requests entry to initialization mode by setting the INRQ bit while bxCAN is in
Sleep mode, it must also clear the SLEEP bit.
bxCAN can be woken up (exit Sleep mode) either by software clearing the SLEEP bit or on
detection of CAN bus activity.
On CAN bus activity detection, hardware automatically performs the wakeup sequence by
clearing the SLEEP bit if the AWUM bit in the CAN_MCR register is set. If the AWUM bit is
cleared, software has to clear the SLEEP bit when a wakeup interrupt occurs, in order to exit
from Sleep mode.

Note:

If the wakeup interrupt is enabled (WKUIE bit set in CAN_IER register) a wakeup interrupt
will be generated on detection of CAN bus activity, even if the bxCAN automatically
performs the wakeup sequence.
After the SLEEP bit has been cleared, Sleep mode is exited once bxCAN has synchronized
with the CAN bus, refer to Figure 265: bxCAN operating modes. The Sleep mode is exited
once the SLAK bit has been cleared by hardware.

CAN_MSR register
2. SYNC = The state during which bxCAN waits until the CAN bus is idle, meaning 11 consecutive recessive
bits have been monitored on CANRX

28.5

Test mode
Test mode can be selected by the SILM and LBKM bits in the CAN_BTR register. These bits
must be configured while bxCAN is in Initialization mode. Once test mode has been
selected, the INRQ bit in the CAN_MCR register must be reset to enter Normal mode.

28.5.1

Silent mode
The bxCAN can be put in Silent mode by setting the SILM bit in the CAN_BTR register.
In Silent mode, the bxCAN is able to receive valid data frames and valid remote frames, but
it sends only recessive bits on the CAN bus and it cannot start a transmission. If the bxCAN
has to send a dominant bit (ACK bit, overload flag, active error flag), the bit is rerouted
internally so that the CAN Core monitors this dominant bit, although the CAN bus may
remain in recessive state. Silent mode can be used to analyze the traffic on a CAN bus
without affecting it by the transmission of dominant bits (Acknowledge Bits, Error Frames).

28.5.2

Loop back mode
The bxCAN can be set in Loop Back Mode by setting the LBKM bit in the CAN_BTR
register. In Loop Back Mode, the bxCAN treats its own transmitted messages as received
messages and stores them (if they pass acceptance filtering) in a Receive mailbox.

This mode is provided for self-test functions. To be independent of external events, the CAN
Core ignores acknowledge errors (no dominant bit sampled in the acknowledge slot of a
data / remote frame) in Loop Back Mode. In this mode, the bxCAN performs an internal
feedback from its Tx output to its Rx input. The actual value of the CANRX input pin is
disregarded by the bxCAN. The transmitted messages can be monitored on the CANTX pin.

28.5.3

Loop back combined with silent mode
It is also possible to combine Loop Back mode and Silent mode by setting the LBKM and
SILM bits in the CAN_BTR register. This mode can be used for a “Hot Selftest”, meaning the
bxCAN can be tested like in Loop Back mode but without affecting a running CAN system
connected to the CANTX and CANRX pins. In this mode, the CANRX pin is disconnected
from the bxCAN and the CANTX pin is held recessive.

Behavior in Debug mode
When the microcontroller enters the debug mode (Cortex®-M4 with FPU core halted), the
bxCAN continues to work normally or stops, depending on:
•

the DBG_CAN_STOP bit in the DBG module.

•

the DBF bit in CAN_MCR. For more details, refer to Section 28.9.2: CAN control and
status registers.

28.7

bxCAN functional description

28.7.1

Transmission handling
In order to transmit a message, the application must select one empty transmit mailbox, set
up the identifier, the data length code (DLC) and the data before requesting the transmission
by setting the corresponding TXRQ bit in the CAN_TIxR register. Once the mailbox has left
empty state, the software no longer has write access to the mailbox registers. Immediately
after the TXRQ bit has been set, the mailbox enters pending state and waits to become the
highest priority mailbox, see Transmit Priority. As soon as the mailbox has the highest
priority it will be scheduled for transmission. The transmission of the message of the
scheduled mailbox will start (enter transmit state) when the CAN bus becomes idle. Once
the mailbox has been successfully transmitted, it will become empty again. The hardware
indicates a successful transmission by setting the RQCP and TXOK bits in the CAN_TSR
register.
If the transmission fails, the cause is indicated by the ALST bit in the CAN_TSR register in
case of an Arbitration Lost, and/or the TERR bit, in case of transmission error detection.

Transmit priority
By identifier
When more than one transmit mailbox is pending, the transmission order is given by the
identifier of the message stored in the mailbox. The message with the lowest identifier value
has the highest priority according to the arbitration of the CAN protocol. If the identifier
values are equal, the lower mailbox number will be scheduled first.
By transmit request order
DocID022448 Rev 5

769/904
806

Controller area network (bxCAN)

RM0313

The transmit mailboxes can be configured as a transmit FIFO by setting the TXFP bit in the
CAN_MCR register. In this mode the priority order is given by the transmit request order.
This mode is very useful for segmented transmission.

Abort
A transmission request can be aborted by the user setting the ABRQ bit in the CAN_TSR
register. In pending or scheduled state, the mailbox is aborted immediately. An abort
request while the mailbox is in transmit state can have two results. If the mailbox is
transmitted successfully the mailbox becomes empty with the TXOK bit set in the
CAN_TSR register. If the transmission fails, the mailbox becomes scheduled, the
transmission is aborted and becomes empty with TXOK cleared. In all cases the mailbox
will become empty again at least at the end of the current transmission.

Non automatic retransmission mode
This mode has been implemented in order to fulfill the requirement of the Time Triggered
Communication option of the CAN standard. To configure the hardware in this mode the
NART bit in the CAN_MCR register must be set.
In this mode, each transmission is started only once. If the first attempt fails, due to an
arbitration loss or an error, the hardware will not automatically restart the message
transmission.
At the end of the first transmission attempt, the hardware considers the request as
completed and sets the RQCP bit in the CAN_TSR register. The result of the transmission is
indicated in the CAN_TSR register by the TXOK, ALST and TERR bits.

28.7.2

Controller area network (bxCAN)

Time triggered communication mode
In this mode, the internal counter of the CAN hardware is activated and used to generate the
Time Stamp value stored in the CAN_RDTxR/CAN_TDTxR registers, respectively (for Rx
and Tx mailboxes). The internal counter is incremented each CAN bit time (refer to
Section 28.7.7: Bit timing). The internal counter is captured on the sample point of the Start
Of Frame bit in both reception and transmission.

28.7.3

Reception handling
For the reception of CAN messages, three mailboxes organized as a FIFO are provided. In
order to save CPU load, simplify the software and guarantee data consistency, the FIFO is
managed completely by hardware. The application accesses the messages stored in the
FIFO through the FIFO output mailbox.

Valid message
A received message is considered as valid when it has been received correctly according to
the CAN protocol (no error until the last but one bit of the EOF field) and It passed through
the identifier filtering successfully, see Section 28.7.4: Identifier filtering.

RM0313

FIFO management
Starting from the empty state, the first valid message received is stored in the FIFO which
becomes pending_1. The hardware signals the event setting the FMP[1:0] bits in the
CAN_RFR register to the value 01b. The message is available in the FIFO output mailbox.
The software reads out the mailbox content and releases it by setting the RFOM bit in the
CAN_RFR register. The FIFO becomes empty again. If a new valid message has been
received in the meantime, the FIFO stays in pending_1 state and the new message is
available in the output mailbox.
If the application does not release the mailbox, the next valid message will be stored in the
FIFO which enters pending_2 state (FMP[1:0] = 10b). The storage process is repeated for
the next valid message putting the FIFO into pending_3 state (FMP[1:0] = 11b). At this
point, the software must release the output mailbox by setting the RFOM bit, so that a
mailbox is free to store the next valid message. Otherwise the next valid message received
will cause a loss of message.
Refer also to Section 28.7.5: Message storage

Overrun
Once the FIFO is in pending_3 state (i.e. the three mailboxes are full) the next valid
message reception will lead to an overrun and a message will be lost. The hardware
signals the overrun condition by setting the FOVR bit in the CAN_RFR register. Which
message is lost depends on the configuration of the FIFO:
•

If the FIFO lock function is disabled (RFLM bit in the CAN_MCR register cleared) the
last message stored in the FIFO will be overwritten by the new incoming message. In
this case the latest messages will be always available to the application.

•

If the FIFO lock function is enabled (RFLM bit in the CAN_MCR register set) the most
recent message will be discarded and the software will have the three oldest messages
in the FIFO available.

Reception related interrupts
Once a message has been stored in the FIFO, the FMP[1:0] bits are updated and an
interrupt request is generated if the FMPIE bit in the CAN_IER register is set.
When the FIFO becomes full (i.e. a third message is stored) the FULL bit in the CAN_RFR
register is set and an interrupt is generated if the FFIE bit in the CAN_IER register is set.
On overrun condition, the FOVR bit is set and an interrupt is generated if the FOVIE bit in
the CAN_IER register is set.

28.7.4

Identifier filtering
In the CAN protocol the identifier of a message is not associated with the address of a node
but related to the content of the message. Consequently a transmitter broadcasts its
message to all receivers. On message reception a receiver node decides - depending on
the identifier value - whether the software needs the message or not. If the message is
needed, it is copied into the SRAM. If not, the message must be discarded without
intervention by the software.
To fulfill this requirement, the bxCAN Controller provides 28 configurable and scalable filter
banks (27-0) to the application. In other devices the bxCAN Controller provides 14

772/904

DocID022448 Rev 5

RM0313

Controller area network (bxCAN)
configurable and scalable filter banks (13-0) to the application in order to receive only the
messages the software needs. This hardware filtering saves CPU resources which would be
otherwise needed to perform filtering by software. Each filter bank x consists of two 32-bit
registers, CAN_FxR0 and CAN_FxR1.

Scalable width
To optimize and adapt the filters to the application needs, each filter bank can be scaled
independently. Depending on the filter scale a filter bank provides:
•

One 32-bit filter for the STDID[10:0], EXTID[17:0], IDE and RTR bits.

•

Two 16-bit filters for the STDID[10:0], RTR, IDE and EXTID[17:15] bits.

Refer to Figure 271.
Furthermore, the filters can be configured in mask mode or in identifier list mode.

Mask mode
In mask mode the identifier registers are associated with mask registers specifying which
bits of the identifier are handled as “must match” or as “don’t care”.

Identifier list mode
In identifier list mode, the mask registers are used as identifier registers. Thus instead of
defining an identifier and a mask, two identifiers are specified, doubling the number of single
identifiers. All bits of the incoming identifier must match the bits specified in the filter
registers.

Filter bank scale and mode configuration
The filter banks are configured by means of the corresponding CAN_FMR register. To
configure a filter bank it must be deactivated by clearing the FACT bit in the CAN_FAR
register. The filter scale is configured by means of the corresponding FSCx bit in the
CAN_FS1R register, refer to Figure 271. The identifier list or identifier mask mode for the
corresponding Mask/Identifier registers is configured by means of the FBMx bits in the
CAN_FMR register.
To filter a group of identifiers, configure the Mask/Identifier registers in mask mode.
To select single identifiers, configure the Mask/Identifier registers in identifier list mode.
Filters not used by the application should be left deactivated.
Each filter within a filter bank is numbered (called the Filter Number) from 0 to a maximum
dependent on the mode and the scale of each of the filter banks.
Concerning the filter configuration, refer to Figure 271.

Filter match index
Once a message has been received in the FIFO it is available to the application. Typically,
application data is copied into SRAM locations. To copy the data to the right location the
application has to identify the data by means of the identifier. To avoid this, and to ease the
access to the SRAM locations, the CAN controller provides a Filter Match Index.
This index is stored in the mailbox together with the message according to the filter priority
rules. Thus each received message has its associated filter match index.
The Filter Match index can be used in two ways:
•

Compare the Filter Match index with a list of expected values.

•

Use the Filter Match Index as an index on an array to access the data destination
location.

For non masked filters, the software no longer has to compare the identifier.
If the filter is masked the software reduces the comparison to the masked bits only.
The index value of the filter number does not take into account the activation state of the
filter banks. In addition, two independent numbering schemes are used, one for each FIFO.
Refer to Figure 272 for an example.

Filter priority rules
Depending on the filter combination it may occur that an identifier passes successfully
through several filters. In this case the filter match value stored in the receive mailbox is
chosen according to the following priority rules:
•

A 32-bit filter takes priority over a 16-bit filter.

•

For filters of equal scale, priority is given to the Identifier List mode over the Identifier
Mask mode

•

For filters of equal scale and mode, priority is given by the filter number (the lower the
number, the higher the priority).

The example above shows the filtering principle of the bxCAN. On reception of a message,
the identifier is compared first with the filters configured in identifier list mode. If there is a
match, the message is stored in the associated FIFO and the index of the matching filter is
stored in the Filter Match Index. As shown in the example, the identifier matches with
Identifier #2 thus the message content and FMI 2 is stored in the FIFO.
If there is no match, the incoming identifier is then compared with the filters configured in
mask mode.
If the identifier does not match any of the identifiers configured in the filters, the message is
discarded by hardware without disturbing the software.

28.7.5

Message storage
The interface between the software and the hardware for the CAN messages is
implemented by means of mailboxes. A mailbox contains all information related to a
message; identifier, data, control, status and time stamp information.

Transmit mailbox
The software sets up the message to be transmitted in an empty transmit mailbox. The
status of the transmission is indicated by hardware in the CAN_TSR register.

Receive mailbox
When a message has been received, it is available to the software in the FIFO output
mailbox. Once the software has handled the message (e.g. read it) the software must
release the FIFO output mailbox by means of the RFOM bit in the CAN_RFR register to
make the next incoming message available. The filter match index is stored in the MFMI
field of the CAN_RDTxR register. The 16-bit time stamp value is stored in the TIME[15:0]
field of CAN_RDTxR.

RM0313

Error management
The error management as described in the CAN protocol is handled entirely by hardware
using a Transmit Error Counter (TEC value, in CAN_ESR register) and a Receive Error
Counter (REC value, in the CAN_ESR register), which get incremented or decremented
according to the error condition. For detailed information about TEC and REC management,
please refer to the CAN standard.
Both of them may be read by software to determine the stability of the network.
Furthermore, the CAN hardware provides detailed information on the current error status in
CAN_ESR register. By means of the CAN_IER register (ERRIE bit, etc.), the software can
configure the interrupt generation on error detection in a very flexible way.

Bus-Off recovery
The Bus-Off state is reached when TEC is greater than 255, this state is indicated by BOFF
bit in CAN_ESR register. In Bus-Off state, the bxCAN is no longer able to transmit and
receive messages.
Depending on the ABOM bit in the CAN_MCR register bxCAN will recover from Bus-Off
(become error active again) either automatically or on software request. But in both cases
the bxCAN has to wait at least for the recovery sequence specified in the CAN standard
(128 occurrences of 11 consecutive recessive bits monitored on CANRX).
If ABOM is set, the bxCAN will start the recovering sequence automatically after it has
entered Bus-Off state.
If ABOM is cleared, the software must initiate the recovering sequence by requesting
bxCAN to enter and to leave initialization mode.
Note:

In initialization mode, bxCAN does not monitor the CANRX signal, therefore it cannot
complete the recovery sequence. To recover, bxCAN must be in normal mode.

28.7.7

Bit timing
The bit timing logic monitors the serial bus-line and performs sampling and adjustment of
the sample point by synchronizing on the start-bit edge and resynchronizing on the following
edges.
Its operation may be explained simply by splitting nominal bit time into three segments as
follows:
•

Synchronization segment (SYNC_SEG): a bit change is expected to occur within this
time segment. It has a fixed length of one time quantum (1 x tq).

•

Bit segment 1 (BS1): defines the location of the sample point. It includes the
PROP_SEG and PHASE_SEG1 of the CAN standard. Its duration is programmable
between 1 and 16 time quanta but may be automatically lengthened to compensate for
positive phase drifts due to differences in the frequency of the various nodes of the
network.

•

Bit segment 2 (BS2): defines the location of the transmit point. It represents the
PHASE_SEG2 of the CAN standard. Its duration is programmable between 1 and 8
time quanta but may also be automatically shortened to compensate for negative
phase drifts.

The resynchronization Jump Width (SJW) defines an upper bound to the amount of
lengthening or shortening of the bit segments. It is programmable between 1 and 4 time
quanta.

778/904

DocID022448 Rev 5

RM0313

Controller area network (bxCAN)
A valid edge is defined as the first transition in a bit time from dominant to recessive bus
level provided the controller itself does not send a recessive bit.
If a valid edge is detected in BS1 instead of SYNC_SEG, BS1 is extended by up to SJW so
that the sample point is delayed.
Conversely, if a valid edge is detected in BS2 instead of SYNC_SEG, BS2 is shortened by
up to SJW so that the transmit point is moved earlier.
As a safeguard against programming errors, the configuration of the Bit Timing Register
(CAN_BTR) is only possible while the device is in Standby mode.

Note:

For a detailed description of the CAN bit timing and resynchronization mechanism, please
refer to the ISO 11898 standard.

CAN registers
The peripheral registers have to be accessed by words (32 bits).

28.9.1

Register access protection
Erroneous access to certain configuration registers can cause the hardware to temporarily
disturb the whole CAN network. Therefore the CAN_BTR register can be modified by
software only while the CAN hardware is in initialization mode.
Although the transmission of incorrect data will not cause problems at the CAN network
level, it can severely disturb the application. A transmit mailbox can be only modified by
software while it is in empty state, refer to Figure 269: Transmit mailbox states.
The filter values can be modified either deactivating the associated filter banks or by setting
the FINIT bit. Moreover, the modification of the filter configuration (scale, mode and FIFO
assignment) in CAN_FMxR, CAN_FSxR and CAN_FFAR registers can only be done when
the filter initialization mode is set (FINIT=1) in the CAN_FMR register.

Bits 31:24 REC[7:0]: Receive error counter
The implementing part of the fault confinement mechanism of the CAN protocol. In case of
an error during reception, this counter is incremented by 1 or by 8 depending on the error
condition as defined by the CAN standard. After every successful reception the counter is
decremented by 1 or reset to 120 if its value was higher than 128. When the counter value
exceeds 127, the CAN controller enters the error passive state.
Bits 23:16 TEC[7:0]: Least significant byte of the 9-bit transmit error counter
The implementing part of the fault confinement mechanism of the CAN protocol.
Bits 15:7 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bits 6:4 LEC[2:0]: Last error code
This field is set by hardware and holds a code which indicates the error condition of the last
error detected on the CAN bus. If a message has been transferred (reception or
transmission) without error, this field will be cleared to ‘0’.
The LEC[2:0] bits can be set to value 0b111 by software. They are updated by hardware to
indicate the current communication status.
000: No Error
001: Stuff Error
010: Form Error

This bit is set by hardware when it enters the bus-off state. The bus-off state is entered on
TEC overflow, greater than 255, refer to Section 28.7.6 on page 778.
Bit 1 EPVF: Error passive flag
This bit is set by hardware when the Error Passive limit has been reached (Receive Error
Counter or Transmit Error Counter>127).
Bit 0 EWGF: Error warning flag
This bit is set by hardware when the warning limit has been reached
(Receive Error Counter or Transmit Error Counter ≥ 96).

CAN mailbox registers
This section describes the registers of the transmit and receive mailboxes. Refer to
Section 28.7.5: Message storage on page 776 for detailed register mapping.
Transmit and receive mailboxes have the same registers except:
•

The FMI field in the CAN_RDTxR register.

•

A receive mailbox is always write protected.

•

A transmit mailbox is write-enabled only while empty, corresponding TME bit in the
CAN_TSR register set.

There are 3 TX Mailboxes and 2 RX Mailboxes. Each RX Mailbox allows access to a 3 level
depth FIFO, the access being offered only to the oldest received message in the FIFO.
Each mailbox consist of 4 registers.

In all configurations:
Bits 31:0 FB[31:0]: Filter bits
Identifier
Each bit of the register specifies the level of the corresponding bit of the expected identifier.
0: Dominant bit is expected
1: Recessive bit is expected
Mask
Each bit of the register specifies whether the bit of the associated identifier register must
match with the corresponding bit of the expected identifier or not.
0: Don’t care, the bit is not used for the comparison
1: Must match, the bit of the incoming identifier must have the same level has specified in
the corresponding identifier register of the filter.

Note:

Depending on the scale and mode configuration of the filter the function of each register can
differ. For the filter mapping, functions description and mask registers association, refer to
Section 28.7.4: Identifier filtering on page 772.
A Mask/Identifier register in mask mode has the same bit mapping as in identifier list
mode.
For the register mapping/addresses of the filter banks please refer to the Table 105 on

The USB peripheral provides an USB-compliant connection between the host PC and the
function implemented by the microcontroller. Data transfer between the host PC and the
system memory occurs through a dedicated packet buffer memory accessed directly by the
USB peripheral. This dedicated memory size is up to 512 bytes, and up to 16 monodirectional or 8 bidirectional endpoints can be used. The USB peripheral interfaces with the
USB host, detecting token packets, handling data transmission/reception, and processing
handshake packets as required by the USB standard. Transaction formatting is performed
by the hardware, including CRC generation and checking.
Each endpoint is associated with a buffer description block indicating where the endpointrelated memory area is located, how large it is or how many bytes must be transmitted.
When a token for a valid function/endpoint pair is recognized by the USB peripheral, the
related data transfer (if required and if the endpoint is configured) takes place. The data
808/904

DocID022448 Rev 5

RM0313

Universal serial bus full-speed device interface (USB)
buffered by the USB peripheral is loaded in an internal 16-bit register and memory access to
the dedicated buffer is performed. When all the data has been transferred, if needed, the
proper handshake packet over the USB is generated or expected according to the direction
of the transfer.
At the end of the transaction, an endpoint-specific interrupt is generated, reading status
registers and/or using different interrupt response routines. The microcontroller can
determine:
•

which endpoint has to be served,

•

which type of transaction took place, if errors occurred (bit stuffing, format, CRC,
protocol, missing ACK, over/underrun, etc.).

Special support is offered to isochronous transfers and high throughput bulk transfers,
implementing a double buffer usage, which allows to always have an available buffer for the
USB peripheral while the microcontroller uses the other one.
The unit can be placed in low-power mode (SUSPEND mode), by writing in the control
register, whenever required. At this time, all static power dissipation is avoided, and the USB
clock can be slowed down or stopped. The detection of activity at the USB inputs, while in
low-power mode, wakes the device up asynchronously. A special interrupt source can be
connected directly to a wakeup line to allow the system to immediately restart the normal
clock generation and/or support direct clock start/stop.

29.4.1

Description of USB blocks
The USB peripheral implements all the features related to USB interfacing, which include
the following blocks:
•

Serial Interface Engine (SIE): The functions of this block include: synchronization
pattern recognition, bit-stuffing, CRC generation and checking, PID
verification/generation, and handshake evaluation. It must interface with the USB
transceivers and uses the virtual buffers provided by the packet buffer interface for
local data storage. This unit also generates signals according to USB peripheral
events, such as Start of Frame (SOF), USB_Reset, Data errors etc. and to Endpoint
related events like end of transmission or correct reception of a packet; these signals
are then used to generate interrupts.

•

Timer: This block generates a start-of-frame locked clock pulse and detects a global
suspend (from the host) when no traffic has been received for 3 ms.

•

Packet Buffer Interface: This block manages the local memory implementing a set of
buffers in a flexible way, both for transmission and reception. It can choose the proper
buffer according to requests coming from the SIE and locate them in the memory
addresses pointed by the Endpoint registers. It increments the address after each
exchanged byte until the end of packet, keeping track of the number of exchanged
bytes and preventing the buffer to overrun the maximum capacity.

Note:

RM0313

•

Endpoint-Related Registers: Each endpoint has an associated register containing the
endpoint type and its current status. For mono-directional/single-buffer endpoints, a
single register can be used to implement two distinct endpoints. The number of
registers is 8, allowing up to 16 mono-directional/single-buffer or up to 7 double-buffer
endpoints in any combination. For example the USB peripheral can be programmed to
have 4 double buffer endpoints and 8 single-buffer/mono-directional endpoints.

Control Registers: These are the registers containing information about the status of
the whole USB peripheral and used to force some USB events, such as resume and
power-down.

•

Interrupt Registers: These contain the Interrupt masks and a record of the events. They
can be used to inquire an interrupt reason, the interrupt status or to clear the status of a
pending interrupt.

* Endpoint 0 is always used for control transfer in single-buffer mode.
The USB peripheral is connected to the APB1 bus through an APB1 interface, containing
the following blocks:

29.5

•

Packet Memory: This is the local memory that physically contains the Packet Buffers. It
can be used by the Packet Buffer interface, which creates the data structure and can
be accessed directly by the application software. The size of the Packet Memory is up
to 512 bytes, structured as256 half-words by 16 bits.

•

Arbiter: This block accepts memory requests coming from the APB1 bus and from the
USB interface. It resolves the conflicts by giving priority to APB1 accesses, while
always reserving half of the memory bandwidth to complete all USB transfers. This
time-duplex scheme implements a virtual dual-port SRAM that allows memory access,
while an USB transaction is happening. Multiword APB1 transfers of any length are
also allowed by this scheme.

•

Register Mapper: This block collects the various byte-wide and bit-wide registers of the
USB peripheral in a structured 16-bit wide half-word set addressed by the APB1.

•

APB1 Wrapper: This provides an interface to the APB1 for the memory and register. It
also maps the whole USB peripheral in the APB1 address space.

•

Interrupt Mapper: This block is used to select how the possible USB events can
generate interrupts and map them to three different lines of the NVIC:
–

USB low-priority interrupt (Channel 20): Triggered by all USB events (Correct
transfer, USB reset, etc.). The firmware has to check the interrupt source before
serving the interrupt.

–

USB high-priority interrupt (Channel 19): Triggered only by a correct transfer event
for isochronous and double-buffer bulk transfer to reach the highest possible
transfer rate.

–

USB wakeup interrupt (Channel 42): Triggered by the wakeup event from the USB
Suspend mode.

Programming considerations
In the following sections, the expected interactions between the USB peripheral and the
application program are described, in order to ease application software development.

29.5.1

Universal serial bus full-speed device interface (USB)

Generic USB device programming
This part describes the main tasks required of the application software in order to obtain
USB compliant behavior. The actions related to the most general USB events are taken into
account and paragraphs are dedicated to the special cases of double-buffered endpoints
and Isochronous transfers. Apart from system reset, action is always initiated by the USB
peripheral, driven by one of the USB events described below.

29.5.2

System and power-on reset
Upon system and power-on reset, the first operation the application software should perform
is to provide all required clock signals to the USB peripheral and subsequently de-assert its
reset signal so to be able to access its registers. The whole initialization sequence is
hereafter described.
As a first step application software needs to activate register macrocell clock and de-assert
macrocell specific reset signal using related control bits provided by device clock
management logic.
After that, the analog part of the device related to the USB transceiver must be switched on
using the PDWN bit in CNTR register, which requires a special handling. This bit is intended
to switch on the internal voltage references that supply the port transceiver. This circuit has
a defined startup time (tSTARTUP specified in the datasheet) during which the behavior of the
USB transceiver is not defined. It is thus necessary to wait this time, after setting the PDWN
bit in the CNTR register, before removing the reset condition on the USB part (by clearing
the FRES bit in the CNTR register). Clearing the ISTR register then removes any spurious
pending interrupt before any other macrocell operation is enabled.
At system reset, the microcontroller must initialize all required registers and the packet
buffer description table, to make the USB peripheral able to properly generate interrupts and
data transfers. All registers not specific to any endpoint must be initialized according to the
needs of application software (choice of enabled interrupts, chosen address of packet
buffers, etc.). Then the process continues as for the USB reset case (see further
paragraph).

USB reset (RESET interrupt)
When this event occurs, the USB peripheral is put in the same conditions it is left by the
system reset after the initialization described in the previous paragraph: communication is
disabled in all endpoint registers (the USB peripheral will not respond to any packet). As a
response to the USB reset event, the USB function must be enabled, having as USB
address 0, implementing only the default control endpoint (endpoint address is 0 too). This
is accomplished by setting the Enable Function (EF) bit of the USB_DADDR register and
initializing the EP0R register and its related packet buffers accordingly. During USB
enumeration process, the host assigns a unique address to this device, which must be
written in the ADD[6:0] bits of the USB_DADDR register, and configures any other
necessary endpoint.
When a RESET interrupt is received, the application software is responsible to enable again
the default endpoint of USB function 0 within 10 ms from the end of reset sequence which
triggered the interrupt.

Structure and usage of packet buffers
Each bidirectional endpoint may receive or transmit data from/to the host. The received data
is stored in a dedicated memory buffer reserved for that endpoint, while another memory
DocID022448 Rev 5

811/904
838

Universal serial bus full-speed device interface (USB)

RM0313

buffer contains the data to be transmitted by the endpoint. Access to this memory is
performed by the packet buffer interface block, which delivers a memory access request
and waits for its acknowledgment. Since the packet buffer memory has to be accessed by
the microcontroller also, an arbitration logic takes care of the access conflicts, using half
APB1 cycle for microcontroller access and the remaining half for the USB peripheral
access. In this way, both the agents can operate as if the packet memory is a dual-port
SRAM, without being aware of any conflict even when the microcontroller is performing
back-to-back accesses. The USB peripheral logic uses a dedicated clock. The frequency of
this dedicated clock is fixed by the requirements of the USB standard at 48 MHz, and this
can be different from the clock used for the interface to the APB1 bus. Different clock
configurations are possible where the APB1 clock frequency can be higher or lower than the
USB peripheral one.
Note:

Due to USB data rate and packet memory interface requirements, the APB1 clock must
have a minimum frequency of 10 MHz to avoid data overrun/underrun problems.
Each endpoint is associated with two packet buffers (usually one for transmission and the
other one for reception). Buffers can be placed anywhere inside the packet memory
because their location and size is specified in a buffer description table, which is also
located in the packet memory at the address indicated by the USB_BTABLE register. Each
table entry is associated to an endpoint register and it is composed of four 16-bit half-words
so that table start address must always be aligned to an 8-byte boundary (the lowest three
bits of USB_BTABLE register are always “000”). Buffer descriptor table entries are
described in the Section 29.6.2: Buffer descriptor table. If an endpoint is unidirectional and it
is neither an Isochronous nor a double-buffered bulk, only one packet buffer is required (the
one related to the supported transfer direction). Other table locations related to unsupported
transfer directions or unused endpoints, are available to the user. Isochronous and doublebuffered bulk endpoints have special handling of packet buffers (Refer to Section 29.5.4:
Isochronous transfers and Section 29.5.3: Double-buffered endpoints respectively). The
relationship between buffer description table entries and packet buffer areas is depicted in
Figure 280.

Each packet buffer is used either during reception or transmission starting from the bottom.
The USB peripheral will never change the contents of memory locations adjacent to the
allocated memory buffers; if a packet bigger than the allocated buffer length is received
(buffer overrun condition) the data will be copied to the memory only up to the last available
location.

Endpoint initialization
The first step to initialize an endpoint is to write appropriate values to the
ADDRn_TX/ADDRn_RX registers so that the USB peripheral finds the data to be
transmitted already available and the data to be received can be buffered. The EP_TYPE
bits in the USB_EPnR register must be set according to the endpoint type, eventually using
the EP_KIND bit to enable any special required feature. On the transmit side, the endpoint
must be enabled using the STAT_TX bits in the USB_EPnR register and COUNTn_TX must
be initialized. For reception, STAT_RX bits must be set to enable reception and
COUNTn_RX must be written with the allocated buffer size using the BL_SIZE and
NUM_BLOCK fields. Unidirectional endpoints, except Isochronous and double-buffered bulk
endpoints, need to initialize only bits and registers related to the supported direction. Once
the transmission and/or reception are enabled, register USB_EPnR and locations
ADDRn_TX/ADDRn_RX, COUNTn_TX/COUNTn_RX (respectively), should not be modified
by the application software, as the hardware can change their value on the fly. When the
data transfer operation is completed, notified by a CTR interrupt event, they can be
accessed again to re-enable a new operation.

IN packets (data transmission)
When receiving an IN token packet, if the received address matches a configured and valid
endpoint, the USB peripheral accesses the contents of ADDRn_TX and COUNTn_TX
locations inside the buffer descriptor table entry related to the addressed endpoint. The
content of these locations is stored in its internal 16 bit registers ADDR and COUNT (not
accessible by software). The packet memory is accessed again to read the first byte to be
transmitted (Refer to Structure and usage of packet buffers on page 811) and starts sending
a DATA0 or DATA1 PID according to USB_EPnR bit DTOG_TX. When the PID is
completed, the first byte, read from buffer memory, is loaded into the output shift register to
be transmitted on the USB bus. After the last data byte is transmitted, the computed CRC is
sent. If the addressed endpoint is not valid, a NAK or STALL handshake packet is sent
instead of the data packet, according to STAT_TX bits in the USB_EPnR register.
The ADDR internal register is used as a pointer to the current buffer memory location while
COUNT is used to count the number of remaining bytes to be transmitted. Each half-word
read from the packet buffer memory is transmitted over the USB bus starting from the least
significant byte. Transmission buffer memory is read starting from the address pointed by
ADDRn_TX for COUNTn_TX/2 half-words. If a transmitted packet is composed of an odd
number of bytes, only the lower half of the last half-word accessed will be used.
On receiving the ACK receipt by the host, the USB_EPnR register is updated in the
following way: DTOG_TX bit is toggled, the endpoint is made invalid by setting
STAT_TX=10 (NAK) and bit CTR_TX is set. The application software must first identify the
endpoint, which is requesting microcontroller attention by examining the EP_ID and DIR bits
in the USB_ISTR register. Servicing of the CTR_TX event starts clearing the interrupt bit;
the application software then prepares another buffer full of data to be sent, updates the
COUNTn_TX table location with the number of byte to be transmitted during the next
transfer, and finally sets STAT_TX to ‘11 (VALID) to re-enable transmissions. While the
STAT_TX bits are equal to ‘10 (NAK), any IN request addressed to that endpoint is NAKed,
indicating a flow control condition: the USB host will retry the transaction until it succeeds. It
is mandatory to execute the sequence of operations in the above mentioned order to avoid
losing the notification of a second IN transaction addressed to the same endpoint
immediately following the one which triggered the CTR interrupt.

OUT and SETUP packets (data reception)
These two tokens are handled by the USB peripheral more or less in the same way; the
differences in the handling of SETUP packets are detailed in the following paragraph about
control transfers. When receiving an OUT/SETUP PID, if the address matches a valid
endpoint, the USB peripheral accesses the contents of the ADDRn_RX and COUNTn_RX
locations inside the buffer descriptor table entry related to the addressed endpoint. The
content of the ADDRn_RX is stored directly in its internal register ADDR. While COUNT is
now reset and the values of BL_SIZE and NUM_BLOCK bit fields, which are read within
COUNTn_RX content are used to initialize BUF_COUNT, an internal 16 bit counter, which is
used to check the buffer overrun condition (all these internal registers are not accessible by
software). Data bytes subsequently received by the USB peripheral are packed in halfwords (the first byte received is stored as least significant byte) and then transferred to the
packet buffer starting from the address contained in the internal ADDR register while
BUF_COUNT is decremented and COUNT is incremented at each byte transfer. When the
end of DATA packet is detected, the correctness of the received CRC is tested and only if no
errors occurred during the reception, an ACK handshake packet is sent back to the
transmitting host.

814/904

DocID022448 Rev 5

RM0313

Universal serial bus full-speed device interface (USB)
In case of wrong CRC or other kinds of errors (bit-stuff violations, frame errors, etc.), data
bytes are still copied in the packet memory buffer, at least until the error detection point, but
ACK packet is not sent and the ERR bit in USB_ISTR register is set. However, there is
usually no software action required in this case: the USB peripheral recovers from reception
errors and remains ready for the next transaction to come. If the addressed endpoint is not
valid, a NAK or STALL handshake packet is sent instead of the ACK, according to bits
STAT_RX in the USB_EPnR register and no data is written in the reception memory buffers.
Reception memory buffer locations are written starting from the address contained in the
ADDRn_RX for a number of bytes corresponding to the received data packet length, CRC
included (i.e. data payload length + 2), or up to the last allocated memory location, as
defined by BL_SIZE and NUM_BLOCK, whichever comes first. In this way, the USB
peripheral never writes beyond the end of the allocated reception memory buffer area. If the
length of the data packet payload (actual number of bytes used by the application) is greater
than the allocated buffer, the USB peripheral detects a buffer overrun condition. in this case,
a STALL handshake is sent instead of the usual ACK to notify the problem to the host, no
interrupt is generated and the transaction is considered failed.
When the transaction is completed correctly, by sending the ACK handshake packet, the
internal COUNT register is copied back in the COUNTn_RX location inside the buffer
description table entry, leaving unaffected BL_SIZE and NUM_BLOCK fields, which
normally do not require to be re-written, and the USB_EPnR register is updated in the
following way: DTOG_RX bit is toggled, the endpoint is made invalid by setting STAT_RX =
‘10 (NAK) and bit CTR_RX is set. If the transaction has failed due to errors or buffer overrun
condition, none of the previously listed actions take place. The application software must
first identify the endpoint, which is requesting microcontroller attention by examining the
EP_ID and DIR bits in the USB_ISTR register. The CTR_RX event is serviced by first
determining the transaction type (SETUP bit in the USB_EPnR register); the application
software must clear the interrupt flag bit and get the number of received bytes reading the
COUNTn_RX location inside the buffer description table entry related to the endpoint being
processed. After the received data is processed, the application software should set the
STAT_RX bits to ‘11 (Valid) in the USB_EPnR, enabling further transactions. While the
STAT_RX bits are equal to ‘10 (NAK), any OUT request addressed to that endpoint is
NAKed, indicating a flow control condition: the USB host will retry the transaction until it
succeeds. It is mandatory to execute the sequence of operations in the above mentioned
order to avoid losing the notification of a second OUT transaction addressed to the same
endpoint following immediately the one which triggered the CTR interrupt.

Control transfers
Control transfers are made of a SETUP transaction, followed by zero or more data stages,
all of the same direction, followed by a status stage (a zero-byte transfer in the opposite
direction). SETUP transactions are handled by control endpoints only and are very similar to
OUT ones (data reception) except that the values of DTOG_TX and DTOG_RX bits of the
addressed endpoint registers are set to 1 and 0 respectively, to initialize the control transfer,
and both STAT_TX and STAT_RX are set to ‘10 (NAK) to let software decide if subsequent
transactions must be IN or OUT depending on the SETUP contents. A control endpoint must
check SETUP bit in the USB_EPnR register at each CTR_RX event to distinguish normal
OUT transactions from SETUP ones. A USB device can determine the number and
direction of data stages by interpreting the data transferred in the SETUP stage, and is
required to STALL the transaction in the case of errors. To do so, at all data stages before
the last, the unused direction should be set to STALL, so that, if the host reverses the
transfer direction too soon, it gets a STALL as a status stage.

DocID022448 Rev 5

815/904
838

Universal serial bus full-speed device interface (USB)

RM0313

While enabling the last data stage, the opposite direction should be set to NAK, so that, if
the host reverses the transfer direction (to perform the status stage) immediately, it is kept
waiting for the completion of the control operation. If the control operation completes
successfully, the software will change NAK to VALID, otherwise to STALL. At the same time,
if the status stage will be an OUT, the STATUS_OUT (EP_KIND in the USB_EPnR register)
bit should be set, so that an error is generated if a status transaction is performed with notzero data. When the status transaction is serviced, the application clears the STATUS_OUT
bit and sets STAT_RX to VALID (to accept a new command) and STAT_TX to NAK (to delay
a possible status stage immediately following the next setup).
Since the USB specification states that a SETUP packet cannot be answered with a
handshake different from ACK, eventually aborting a previously issued command to start
the new one, the USB logic doesn’t allow a control endpoint to answer with a NAK or STALL
packet to a SETUP token received from the host.
When the STAT_RX bits are set to ‘01 (STALL) or ‘10 (NAK) and a SETUP token is
received, the USB accepts the data, performing the required data transfers and sends back
an ACK handshake. If that endpoint has a previously issued CTR_RX request not yet
acknowledged by the application (i.e. CTR_RX bit is still set from a previously completed
reception), the USB discards the SETUP transaction and does not answer with any
handshake packet regardless of its state, simulating a reception error and forcing the host to
send the SETUP token again. This is done to avoid losing the notification of a SETUP
transaction addressed to the same endpoint immediately following the transaction, which
triggered the CTR_RX interrupt.

29.5.3

Double-buffered endpoints
All different endpoint types defined by the USB standard represent different traffic models,
and describe the typical requirements of different kind of data transfer operations. When
large portions of data are to be transferred between the host PC and the USB function, the
bulk endpoint type is the most suited model. This is because the host schedules bulk
transactions so as to fill all the available bandwidth in the frame, maximizing the actual
transfer rate as long as the USB function is ready to handle a bulk transaction addressed to
it. If the USB function is still busy with the previous transaction when the next one arrives, it
will answer with a NAK handshake and the host PC will issue the same transaction again
until the USB function is ready to handle it, reducing the actual transfer rate due to the
bandwidth occupied by re-transmissions. For this reason, a dedicated feature called
‘double-buffering’ can be used with bulk endpoints.
When ‘double-buffering’ is activated, data toggle sequencing is used to select, which buffer
is to be used by the USB peripheral to perform the required data transfers, using both
‘transmission’ and ‘reception’ packet memory areas to manage buffer swapping on each
successful transaction in order to always have a complete buffer to be used by the
application, while the USB peripheral fills the other one. For example, during an OUT
transaction directed to a ‘reception’ double-buffered bulk endpoint, while one buffer is being
filled with new data coming from the USB host, the other one is available for the
microcontroller software usage (the same would happen with a ‘transmission’ doublebuffered bulk endpoint and an IN transaction).
Since the swapped buffer management requires the usage of all 4 buffer description table
locations hosting the address pointer and the length of the allocated memory buffers, the
USB_EPnR registers used to implement double-buffered bulk endpoints are forced to be
used as unidirectional ones. Therefore, only one STAT bit pair must be set at a value
different from ‘00 (Disabled): STAT_RX if the double-buffered bulk endpoint is enabled for

816/904

DocID022448 Rev 5

RM0313

Universal serial bus full-speed device interface (USB)
reception, STAT_TX if the double-buffered bulk endpoint is enabled for transmission. In
case it is required to have double-buffered bulk endpoints enabled both for reception and
transmission, two USB_EPnR registers must be used.
To exploit the double-buffering feature and reach the highest possible transfer rate, the
endpoint flow control structure, described in previous chapters, has to be modified, in order
to switch the endpoint status to NAK only when a buffer conflict occurs between the USB
peripheral and application software, instead of doing it at the end of each successful
transaction. The memory buffer which is currently being used by the USB peripheral is
defined by the DTOG bit related to the endpoint direction: DTOG_RX (bit 14 of USB_EPnR
register) for ‘reception’ double-buffered bulk endpoints or DTOG_TX (bit 6 of USB_EPnR
register) for ‘transmission’ double-buffered bulk endpoints. To implement the new flow
control scheme, the USB peripheral should know which packet buffer is currently in use by
the application software, so to be aware of any conflict. Since in the USB_EPnR register,
there are two DTOG bits but only one is used by USB peripheral for data and buffer
sequencing (due to the unidirectional constraint required by double-buffering feature) the
other one can be used by the application software to show which buffer it is currently using.
This new buffer flag is called SW_BUF. In the following table the correspondence between
USB_EPnR register bits and DTOG/SW_BUF definition is explained, for the cases of
‘transmission’ and ‘reception’ double-buffered bulk endpoints.

The memory buffer which is currently being used by the USB peripheral is defined by DTOG

same in both cases, and it is listed in the following table.

OUT

1. Endpoint in NAK Status.

Double-buffering feature for a bulk endpoint is activated by:
•

Writing EP_TYPE bit field at ‘00 in its USB_EPnR register, to define the endpoint as a
bulk, and

•

Setting EP_KIND bit at ‘1 (DBL_BUF), in the same register.

The application software is responsible for DTOG and SW_BUF bits initialization according
to the first buffer to be used; this has to be done considering the special toggle-only property
that these two bits have. The end of the first transaction occurring after having set
DBL_BUF, triggers the special flow control of double-buffered bulk endpoints, which is used
for all other transactions addressed to this endpoint until DBL_BUF remain set. At the end of
each transaction the CTR_RX or CTR_TX bit of the addressed endpoint USB_EPnR
register is set, depending on the enabled direction. At the same time, the affected DTOG bit
in the USB_EPnR register is hardware toggled making the USB peripheral buffer swapping
completely software independent. Unlike common transactions, and the first one after
DBL_BUF setting, STAT bit pair is not affected by the transaction termination and its value
remains ‘11 (Valid). However, as the token packet of a new transaction is received, the
actual endpoint status will be masked as ‘10 (NAK) when a buffer conflict between the USB
peripheral and the application software is detected (this condition is identified by DTOG and
SW_BUF having the same value, see Table 108 on page 817). The application software
responds to the CTR event notification by clearing the interrupt flag and starting any
required handling of the completed transaction. When the application packet buffer usage is
over, the software toggles the SW_BUF bit, writing ‘1 to it, to notify the USB peripheral about
the availability of that buffer. In this way, the number of NAKed transactions is limited only by
the application elaboration time of a transaction data: if the elaboration time is shorter than
the time required to complete a transaction on the USB bus, no re-transmissions due to flow
control will take place and the actual transfer rate will be limited only by the host PC.
The application software can always override the special flow control implemented for
double-buffered bulk endpoints, writing an explicit status different from ‘11 (Valid) into the
STAT bit pair of the related USB_EPnR register. In this case, the USB peripheral will always
use the programmed endpoint status, regardless of the buffer usage condition.

29.5.4

Isochronous transfers
The USB standard supports full speed peripherals requiring a fixed and accurate data
production/consume frequency, defining this kind of traffic as ‘Isochronous’. Typical

818/904

DocID022448 Rev 5

RM0313

Universal serial bus full-speed device interface (USB)
examples of this data are: audio samples, compressed video streams, and in general any
sort of sampled data having strict requirements for the accuracy of delivered frequency.
When an endpoint is defined to be ‘isochronous’ during the enumeration phase, the host
allocates in the frame the required bandwidth and delivers exactly one IN or OUT packet
each frame, depending on endpoint direction. To limit the bandwidth requirements, no retransmission of failed transactions is possible for Isochronous traffic; this leads to the fact
that an isochronous transaction does not have a handshake phase and no ACK packet is
expected or sent after the data packet. For the same reason, Isochronous transfers do not
support data toggle sequencing and always use DATA0 PID to start any data packet.
The Isochronous behavior for an endpoint is selected by setting the EP_TYPE bits at ‘10 in
its USB_EPnR register; since there is no handshake phase the only legal values for the
STAT_RX/STAT_TX bit pairs are ‘00 (Disabled) and ‘11 (Valid), any other value will produce
results not compliant to USB standard. Isochronous endpoints implement double-buffering
to ease application software development, using both ‘transmission’ and ‘reception’ packet
memory areas to manage buffer swapping on each successful transaction in order to have
always a complete buffer to be used by the application, while the USB peripheral fills the
other.
The memory buffer which is currently used by the USB peripheral is defined by the DTOG
bit related to the endpoint direction (DTOG_RX for ‘reception’ isochronous endpoints,
DTOG_TX for ‘transmission’ isochronous endpoints, both in the related USB_EPnR
register) according to Table 109.

As it happens with double-buffered bulk endpoints, the USB_EPnR registers used to
implement Isochronous endpoints are forced to be used as unidirectional ones. In case it is
required to have Isochronous endpoints enabled both for reception and transmission, two
USB_EPnR registers must be used.
The application software is responsible for the DTOG bit initialization according to the first
buffer to be used; this has to be done considering the special toggle-only property that these
two bits have. At the end of each transaction, the CTR_RX or CTR_TX bit of the addressed
endpoint USB_EPnR register is set, depending on the enabled direction. At the same time,
the affected DTOG bit in the USB_EPnR register is hardware toggled making buffer
swapping completely software independent. STAT bit pair is not affected by transaction
completion; since no flow control is possible for Isochronous transfers due to the lack of
handshake phase, the endpoint remains always ‘11 (Valid). CRC errors or buffer-overrun
conditions occurring during Isochronous OUT transfers are anyway considered as correct
transactions and they always trigger an CTR_RX event. However, CRC errors will anyway
set the ERR bit in the USB_ISTR register to notify the software of the possible data
corruption.

29.5.5

Suspend/Resume events
The USB standard defines a special peripheral state, called SUSPEND, in which the
average current drawn from the USB bus must not be greater than 2.5 mA. This
requirement is of fundamental importance for bus-powered devices, while self-powered
devices are not required to comply to this strict power consumption constraint. In suspend
mode, the host PC sends the notification by not sending any traffic on the USB bus for more
than 3 ms: since a SOF packet must be sent every 1 ms during normal operations, the USB
peripheral detects the lack of 3 consecutive SOF packets as a suspend request from the
host PC and set the SUSP bit to ‘1 in USB_ISTR register, causing an interrupt if enabled.
Once the device is suspended, its normal operation can be restored by a so called
RESUME sequence, which can be started from the host PC or directly from the peripheral
itself, but it is always terminated by the host PC. The suspended USB peripheral must be
anyway able to detect a RESET sequence, reacting to this event as a normal USB reset
event.
The actual procedure used to suspend the USB peripheral is device dependent since
according to the device composition, different actions may be required to reduce the total
consumption.
A brief description of a typical suspend procedure is provided below, focused on the USBrelated aspects of the application software routine responding to the SUSP notification of
the USB peripheral:

820/904

1.

Set the FSUSP bit in the USB_CNTR register to 1. This action activates the suspend
mode within the USB peripheral. As soon as the suspend mode is activated, the check
on SOF reception is disabled to avoid any further SUSP interrupts being issued while
the USB is suspended.

2.

Remove or reduce any static power consumption in blocks different from the USB
peripheral.

3.

Set LP_MODE bit in USB_CNTR register to 1 to remove static power consumption in
the analog USB transceivers but keeping them able to detect resume activity.

4.

Optionally turn off external oscillator and device PLL to stop any activity inside the
device.

DocID022448 Rev 5

RM0313

Universal serial bus full-speed device interface (USB)
When an USB event occurs while the device is in SUSPEND mode, the RESUME
procedure must be invoked to restore nominal clocks and regain normal USB behavior.
Particular care must be taken to insure that this process does not take more than 10 ms
when the wakening event is an USB reset sequence (See “Universal Serial Bus
Specification” for more details). The start of a resume or reset sequence, while the USB
peripheral is suspended, clears the LP_MODE bit in USB_CNTR register asynchronously.
Even if this event can trigger an WKUP interrupt if enabled, the use of an interrupt response
routine must be carefully evaluated because of the long latency due to system clock restart;
to have the shorter latency before re-activating the nominal clock it is suggested to put the
resume procedure just after the end of the suspend one, so its code is immediately
executed as soon as the system clock restarts. To prevent ESD discharges or any other kind
of noise from waking-up the system (the exit from suspend mode is an asynchronous
event), a suitable analog filter on data line status is activated during suspend; the filter width
is about 70 ns.
The following is a list of actions a resume procedure should address:
1.

Optionally turn on external oscillator and/or device PLL.

2.

Clear FSUSP bit of USB_CNTR register.

3.

If the resume triggering event has to be identified, bits RXDP and RXDM in the
USB_FNR register can be used according to Table 110, which also lists the intended
software action in all the cases. If required, the end of resume or reset sequence can
be detected monitoring the status of the above mentioned bits by checking when they
reach the “10” configuration, which represent the Idle bus state; moreover at the end of
a reset sequence the RESET bit in USB_ISTR register is set to 1, issuing an interrupt if
enabled, which should be handled as usual.

A device may require to exit from suspend mode as an answer to particular events not
directly related to the USB protocol (e.g. a mouse movement wakes up the whole system).
In this case, the resume sequence can be started by setting the RESUME bit in the
USB_CNTR register to ‘1 and resetting it to 0 after an interval between 1 ms and 15 ms (this
interval can be timed using ESOF interrupts, occurring with a 1 ms period when the system
clock is running at nominal frequency). Once the RESUME bit is clear, the resume
sequence will be completed by the host PC and its end can be monitored again using the
RXDP and RXDM bits in the USB_FNR register.
Note:

The RESUME bit must be anyway used only after the USB peripheral has been put in
suspend mode, setting the FSUSP bit in USB_CNTR register to 1.

USB registers
The USB peripheral registers can be divided into the following groups:
•

Common Registers: Interrupt and Control registers

•

Endpoint Registers: Endpoint configuration and status

•

Buffer Descriptor Table: Location of packet memory used to locate data buffers

All register addresses are expressed as offsets with respect to the USB peripheral registers
base address 0x4000 5C00, except the buffer descriptor table locations, which starts at the
address specified by the USB_BTABLE register. All register addresses are aligned to 32-bit
word boundaries although they are 16-bit wide. The same address alignment is used to
access packet buffer memory locations, which are located starting from 0x4000 6000.
Refer to Section 1.1 on page 36 for a list of abbreviations used in register descriptions.
The peripheral registers can be accessed by half-words (16-bit) or words (32-bit).

29.6.1

This mode is used when the suspend-mode power constraints require that all static power
dissipation is avoided, except the one required to supply the external pull-up resistor. This
condition should be entered when the application is ready to stop all system clocks, or
reduce their frequency in order to meet the power consumption requirements of the USB

This register contains the status of all the interrupt sources allowing application software to
determine, which events caused an interrupt request.
The upper part of this register contains single bits, each of them representing a specific
event. These bits are set by the hardware when the related event occurs; if the
corresponding bit in the USB_CNTR register is set, a generic interrupt request is generated.
The interrupt routine, examining each bit, will perform all necessary actions, and finally it will
clear the serviced bits. If any of them is not cleared, the interrupt is considered to be still
pending, and the interrupt line will be kept high again. If several bits are set simultaneously,
only a single interrupt will be generated.
Endpoint transaction completion can be handled in a different way to reduce interrupt
response latency. The CTR bit is set by the hardware as soon as an endpoint successfully
completes a transaction, generating a generic interrupt request if the corresponding bit in
USB_CNTR is set. An endpoint dedicated interrupt condition is activated independently
from the CTRM bit in the USB_CNTR register. Both interrupt conditions remain active until
software clears the pending bit in the corresponding USB_EPnR register (the CTR bit is
actually a read only bit). For endpoint-related interrupts, the software can use the Direction
of Transaction (DIR) and EP_ID read-only bits to identify, which endpoint made the last
interrupt request and called the corresponding interrupt service routine.

DocID022448 Rev 5

RM0313

Universal serial bus full-speed device interface (USB)
The user can choose the relative priority of simultaneously pending USB_ISTR events by
specifying the order in which software checks USB_ISTR bits in an interrupt service routine.
Only the bits related to events, which are serviced, are cleared. At the end of the service
routine, another interrupt will be requested, to service the remaining conditions.
To avoid spurious clearing of some bits, it is recommended to clear them with a load
instruction where all bits which must not be altered are written with 1, and all bits to be
cleared are written with ‘0 (these bits can only be cleared by software). Read-modify-write
cycles should be avoided because between the read and the write operations another bit
could be set by the hardware and the next write will clear it before the microprocessor has
the time to serve the event.
The following describes each bit in detail:
Bit 15 CTR: Correct transfer
This bit is set by the hardware to indicate that an endpoint has successfully completed a
transaction; using DIR and EP_ID bits software can determine which endpoint requested the
interrupt. This bit is read-only.
Bit 14 PMAOVR: Packet memory area over / underrun
This bit is set if the microcontroller has not been able to respond in time to an USB memory
request. The USB peripheral handles this event in the following way: During reception an
ACK handshake packet is not sent, during transmission a bit-stuff error is forced on the
transmitted stream; in both cases the host will retry the transaction. The PMAOVR interrupt
should never occur during normal operations. Since the failed transaction is retried by the
host, the application software has the chance to speed-up device operations during this
interrupt handling, to be ready for the next transaction retry; however this does not happen
during Isochronous transfers (no isochronous transaction is anyway retried) leading to a loss
of data in this case. This bit is read/write but only ‘0 can be written and writing ‘1 has no
effect.
Bit 13 ERR: Error
This flag is set whenever one of the errors listed below has occurred:
NANS: No ANSwer. The timeout for a host response has expired.
CRC: Cyclic Redundancy Check error. One of the received CRCs, either in the token or in
the data, was wrong.
BST: Bit Stuffing error. A bit stuffing error was detected anywhere in the PID, data, and/or
CRC.
FVIO: Framing format Violation. A non-standard frame was received (EOP not in the right
place, wrong token sequence, etc.).
The USB software can usually ignore errors, since the USB peripheral and the PC host
manage retransmission in case of errors in a fully transparent way. This interrupt can be
useful during the software development phase, or to monitor the quality of transmission over
the USB bus, to flag possible problems to the user (e.g. loose connector, too noisy
environment, broken conductor in the USB cable and so on). This bit is read/write but only ‘0
can be written and writing ‘1 has no effect.
Bit 12 WKUP: Wakeup
This bit is set to 1 by the hardware when, during suspend mode, activity is detected that
wakes up the USB peripheral. This event asynchronously clears the LP_MODE bit in the
CTLR register and activates the USB_WAKEUP line, which can be used to notify the rest of
the device (e.g. wakeup unit) about the start of the resume process. This bit is read/write but
only ‘0 can be written and writing ‘1 has no effect.

RM0313

Bit 11 SUSP: Suspend mode request
This bit is set by the hardware when no traffic has been received for 3 ms, indicating a
suspend mode request from the USB bus. The suspend condition check is enabled
immediately after any USB reset and it is disabled by the hardware when the suspend mode
is active (FSUSP=1) until the end of resume sequence. This bit is read/write but only ‘0 can
be written and writing ‘1 has no effect.
Bit 10 RESET: USB reset request
Set when the USB peripheral detects an active USB RESET signal at its inputs. The USB
peripheral, in response to a RESET, just resets its internal protocol state machine, generating
an interrupt if RESETM enable bit in the USB_CNTR register is set. Reception and
transmission are disabled until the RESET bit is cleared. All configuration registers do not
reset: the microcontroller must explicitly clear these registers (this is to ensure that the
RESET interrupt can be safely delivered, and any transaction immediately followed by a
RESET can be completed). The function address and endpoint registers are reset by an USB
reset event.
This bit is read/write but only ‘0 can be written and writing ‘1 has no effect.
Bit 9 SOF: Start of frame
This bit signals the beginning of a new USB frame and it is set when a SOF packet arrives
through the USB bus. The interrupt service routine may monitor the SOF events to have a
1 ms synchronization event to the USB host and to safely read the USB_FNR register which
is updated at the SOF packet reception (this could be useful for isochronous applications).
This bit is read/write but only ‘0 can be written and writing ‘1 has no effect.
Bit 8 ESOF: Expected start of frame
This bit is set by the hardware when an SOF packet is expected but not received. The host
sends an SOF packet each 1 ms, but if the hub does not receive it properly, the Suspend
Timer issues this interrupt. If three consecutive ESOF interrupts are generated (i.e. three
SOF packets are lost) without any traffic occurring in between, a SUSP interrupt is
generated. This bit is set even when the missing SOF packets occur while the Suspend
Timer is not yet locked. This bit is read/write but only ‘0 can be written and writing ‘1 has no
effect.
Bit 7 L1REQ: LPM L1 state request
This bit is set by the hardware when LPM command to enter the L1 state is successfully
received and acknowledged. This bit is read/write but only ‘0 can be written and writing ‘1 has
no effect.

Universal serial bus full-speed device interface (USB)

Note: If LPM is not supported, this bit is not implemented and considered as reserved. Please
refer to Section 29.3: USB implementation.
Bit 4 DIR: Direction of transaction
This bit is written by the hardware according to the direction of the successful transaction,
which generated the interrupt request.
If DIR bit=0, CTR_TX bit is set in the USB_EPnR register related to the interrupting endpoint.
The interrupting transaction is of IN type (data transmitted by the USB peripheral to the host
PC).
If DIR bit=1, CTR_RX bit or both CTR_TX/CTR_RX are set in the USB_EPnR register
related to the interrupting endpoint. The interrupting transaction is of OUT type (data
received by the USB peripheral from the host PC) or two pending transactions are waiting to
be processed.
This information can be used by the application software to access the USB_EPnR bits
related to the triggering transaction since it represents the direction having the interrupt
pending. This bit is read-only.
Bits 3:0 EP_ID[3:0]: Endpoint Identifier
These bits are written by the hardware according to the endpoint number, which generated
the interrupt request. If several endpoint transactions are pending, the hardware writes the
endpoint identifier related to the endpoint having the highest priority defined in the following
way: Two endpoint sets are defined, in order of priority: Isochronous and double-buffered
bulk endpoints are considered first and then the other endpoints are examined. If more than
one endpoint from the same set is requesting an interrupt, the EP_ID bits in USB_ISTR
register are assigned according to the lowest requesting endpoint register, EP0R having the
highest priority followed by EP1R and so on. The application software can assign a register
to each endpoint according to this priority scheme, so as to order the concurring endpoint
requests in a suitable way. These bits are read only.

This bit is set by the hardware when at least two consecutive SOF packets have been

Bits 15:3 BTABLE[15:3]: Buffer table
These bits contain the start address of the buffer allocation table inside the dedicated packet
memory. This table describes each endpoint buffer location and size and it must be aligned
to an 8 byte boundary (the 3 least significant bits are always ‘0). At the beginning of every
transaction addressed to this device, the USB peripheral reads the element of this table
related to the addressed endpoint, to get its buffer start location and the buffer size (Refer to
Structure and usage of packet buffers on page 811).
Bits 2:0 Reserved, forced by hardware to 0.

Endpoint-specific registers
The number of these registers varies according to the number of endpoints that the USB
peripheral is designed to handle. The USB peripheral supports up to 8 bidirectional
endpoints. Each USB device must support a control endpoint whose address (EA bits) must
be set to 0. The USB peripheral behaves in an undefined way if multiple endpoints are
enabled having the same endpoint number value. For each endpoint, an USB_EPnR
register is available to store the endpoint specific information.

They are also reset when an USB reset is received from the USB bus or forced through bit
FRES in the CTLR register, except the CTR_RX and CTR_TX bits, which are kept
unchanged to avoid missing a correct packet notification immediately followed by an USB
reset event. Each endpoint has its USB_EPnR register where n is the endpoint identifier.
Read-modify-write cycles on these registers should be avoided because between the read
and the write operations some bits could be set by the hardware and the next write would
modify them before the CPU has the time to detect the change. For this purpose, all bits
affected by this problem have an ‘invariant’ value that must be used whenever their
modification is not required. It is recommended to modify these registers with a load
instruction where all the bits, which can be modified only by the hardware, are written with
their ‘invariant’ value.

Bit 15 CTR_RX: Correct Transfer for reception
This bit is set by the hardware when an OUT/SETUP transaction is successfully completed
on this endpoint; the software can only clear this bit. If the CTRM bit in USB_CNTR register
is set accordingly, a generic interrupt condition is generated together with the endpoint
related interrupt condition, which is always activated. The type of occurred transaction, OUT
or SETUP, can be determined from the SETUP bit described below.
A transaction ended with a NAK or STALL handshake does not set this bit, since no data is
actually transferred, as in the case of protocol errors or data toggle mismatches.
This bit is read/write but only ‘0 can be written, writing 1 has no effect.
Bit 14 DTOG_RX: Data Toggle, for reception transfers
If the endpoint is not Isochronous, this bit contains the expected value of the data toggle bit
(0=DATA0, 1=DATA1) for the next data packet to be received. Hardware toggles this bit,
when the ACK handshake is sent to the USB host, following a data packet reception having
a matching data PID value; if the endpoint is defined as a control one, hardware clears this
bit at the reception of a SETUP PID addressed to this endpoint.
If the endpoint is using the double-buffering feature this bit is used to support packet buffer
swapping too (Refer to Section 29.5.3: Double-buffered endpoints).
If the endpoint is Isochronous, this bit is used only to support packet buffer swapping since
no data toggling is used for this sort of endpoints and only DATA0 packet are transmitted
(Refer to Section 29.5.4: Isochronous transfers). Hardware toggles this bit just after the end
of data packet reception, since no handshake is used for isochronous transfers.
This bit can also be toggled by the software to initialize its value (mandatory when the
endpoint is not a control one) or to force specific data toggle/packet buffer usage. When the
application software writes ‘0, the value of DTOG_RX remains unchanged, while writing ‘1
makes the bit value toggle. This bit is read/write but it can be only toggled by writing 1.
Bits 13:12 STAT_RX [1:0]: Status bits, for reception transfers
These bits contain information about the endpoint status, which are listed in Table 111:
Reception status encoding on page 832.These bits can be toggled by software to initialize
their value. When the application software writes ‘0, the value remains unchanged, while
writing ‘1 makes the bit value toggle. Hardware sets the STAT_RX bits to NAK when a
correct transfer has occurred (CTR_RX=1) corresponding to a OUT or SETUP (control only)
transaction addressed to this endpoint, so the software has the time to elaborate the
received data before it acknowledge a new transaction
Double-buffered bulk endpoints implement a special transaction flow control, which control
the status based upon buffer availability condition (Refer to Section 29.5.3: Double-buffered
endpoints).
If the endpoint is defined as Isochronous, its status can be only “VALID” or “DISABLED”, so
that the hardware cannot change the status of the endpoint after a successful transaction. If
the software sets the STAT_RX bits to ‘STALL’ or ‘NAK’ for an Isochronous endpoint, the
USB peripheral behavior is not defined. These bits are read/write but they can be only
toggled by writing ‘1.
Bit 11 SETUP: Setup transaction completed
This bit is read-only and it is set by the hardware when the last completed transaction is a
SETUP. This bit changes its value only for control endpoints. It must be examined, in the
case of a successful receive transaction (CTR_RX event), to determine the type of
transaction occurred. To protect the interrupt service routine from the changes in SETUP
bits due to next incoming tokens, this bit is kept frozen while CTR_RX bit is at 1; its state
changes when CTR_RX is at 0. This bit is read-only.

Bits 10:9 EP_TYPE[1:0]: Endpoint type
These bits configure the behavior of this endpoint as described in Table 112: Endpoint type
encoding on page 832. Endpoint 0 must always be a control endpoint and each USB
function must have at least one control endpoint which has address 0, but there may be
other control endpoints if required. Only control endpoints handle SETUP transactions,
which are ignored by endpoints of other kinds. SETUP transactions cannot be answered
with NAK or STALL. If a control endpoint is defined as NAK, the USB peripheral will not
answer, simulating a receive error, in the receive direction when a SETUP transaction is
received. If the control endpoint is defined as STALL in the receive direction, then the
SETUP packet will be accepted anyway, transferring data and issuing the CTR interrupt.
The reception of OUT transactions is handled in the normal way, even if the endpoint is a
control one.
Bulk and interrupt endpoints have very similar behavior and they differ only in the special
feature available using the EP_KIND configuration bit.
The usage of Isochronous endpoints is explained in Section 29.5.4: Isochronous transfers
Bit 8 EP_KIND: Endpoint kind
The meaning of this bit depends on the endpoint type configured by the EP_TYPE bits.
Table 113 summarizes the different meanings.
DBL_BUF: This bit is set by the software to enable the double-buffering feature for this bulk
endpoint. The usage of double-buffered bulk endpoints is explained in Section 29.5.3:
Double-buffered endpoints.
STATUS_OUT: This bit is set by the software to indicate that a status out transaction is
expected: in this case all OUT transactions containing more than zero data bytes are
answered ‘STALL’ instead of ‘ACK’. This bit may be used to improve the robustness of the
application to protocol errors during control transfers and its usage is intended for control
endpoints only. When STATUS_OUT is reset, OUT transactions can have any number of
bytes, as required.
Bit 7 CTR_TX: Correct Transfer for transmission
This bit is set by the hardware when an IN transaction is successfully completed on this
endpoint; the software can only clear this bit. If the CTRM bit in the USB_CNTR register is
set accordingly, a generic interrupt condition is generated together with the endpoint related
interrupt condition, which is always activated.
A transaction ended with a NAK or STALL handshake does not set this bit, since no data is
actually transferred, as in the case of protocol errors or data toggle mismatches.
This bit is read/write but only ‘0 can be written.

Bit 6 DTOG_TX: Data Toggle, for transmission transfers
If the endpoint is non-isochronous, this bit contains the required value of the data toggle bit
(0=DATA0, 1=DATA1) for the next data packet to be transmitted. Hardware toggles this bit
when the ACK handshake is received from the USB host, following a data packet
transmission. If the endpoint is defined as a control one, hardware sets this bit to 1 at the
reception of a SETUP PID addressed to this endpoint.
If the endpoint is using the double buffer feature, this bit is used to support packet buffer
swapping too (Refer to Section 29.5.3: Double-buffered endpoints)
If the endpoint is Isochronous, this bit is used to support packet buffer swapping since no
data toggling is used for this sort of endpoints and only DATA0 packet are transmitted (Refer
to Section 29.5.4: Isochronous transfers). Hardware toggles this bit just after the end of data
packet transmission, since no handshake is used for Isochronous transfers.
This bit can also be toggled by the software to initialize its value (mandatory when the
endpoint is not a control one) or to force a specific data toggle/packet buffer usage. When
the application software writes ‘0, the value of DTOG_TX remains unchanged, while writing
‘1 makes the bit value toggle. This bit is read/write but it can only be toggled by writing 1.
Bits 5:4 STAT_TX [1:0]: Status bits, for transmission transfers
These bits contain the information about the endpoint status, listed in Table 114. These bits
can be toggled by the software to initialize their value. When the application software writes
‘0, the value remains unchanged, while writing ‘1 makes the bit value toggle. Hardware sets
the STAT_TX bits to NAK, when a correct transfer has occurred (CTR_TX=1) corresponding
to a IN or SETUP (control only) transaction addressed to this endpoint. It then waits for the
software to prepare the next set of data to be transmitted.
Double-buffered bulk endpoints implement a special transaction flow control, which controls
the status based on buffer availability condition (Refer to Section 29.5.3: Double-buffered
endpoints).
If the endpoint is defined as Isochronous, its status can only be “VALID” or “DISABLED”.
Therefore, the hardware cannot change the status of the endpoint after a successful
transaction. If the software sets the STAT_TX bits to ‘STALL’ or ‘NAK’ for an Isochronous
endpoint, the USB peripheral behavior is not defined. These bits are read/write but they can
be only toggled by writing ‘1.
Bits 3:0 EA[3:0]: Endpoint address
Software must write in this field the 4-bit address used to identify the transactions directed to
this endpoint. A value must be written before enabling the corresponding endpoint.

Buffer descriptor table
Although the buffer descriptor table is located inside the packet buffer memory, its entries
can be considered as additional registers used to configure the location and size of the
packet buffers used to exchange data between the USB macro cell and the device.
All packet memory locations are accessed by the APB using 32-bit aligned addresses,
instead of the actual memory location addresses utilized by the USB peripheral for the
USB_BTABLE register and buffer description table locations.
In the following pages two location addresses are reported: the one to be used by
application software while accessing the packet memory, and the local one relative to USB
Peripheral access. To obtain the correct memory address value to be used in the application
software while accessing the packet memory, the actual memory location address must be
multiplied by two. The first packet memory location is located at 0x4000 6000. The buffer
descriptor table entry associated with the USB_EPnR registers is described below.
A thorough explanation of packet buffers and the buffer descriptor table usage can be found
in Structure and usage of packet buffers on page 811.

Transmission buffer address n (USB_ADDRn_TX)
Address offset: [USB_BTABLE] + n*16
USB local address: [USB_BTABLE] + n*8
Note:

In case of double-buffered or isochronous endpoints in the IN direction, this address location
is referred to as USB_ADDRn_TX_0.
In case of double-buffered or isochronous endpoints in the OUT direction, this address
location is used for USB_ADDRn_RX_0.

RM0313

This table location is used to store two different values, both required during packet
reception. The most significant bits contains the definition of allocated buffer size, to allow
buffer overflow detection, while the least significant part of this location is written back by the
USB peripheral at the end of reception to give the actual number of received bytes. Due to
the restrictions on the number of available bits, buffer size is represented using the number
of allocated memory blocks, where block size can be selected to choose the trade-off
between fine-granularity/small-buffer and coarse-granularity/large-buffer. The size of
allocated buffer is a part of the endpoint descriptor and it is normally defined during the
enumeration process according to its maxPacketSize parameter value (See “Universal
Serial Bus Specification”).
Bit 15 BL_SIZE: Block size
This bit selects the size of memory block used to define the allocated buffer area.
–
If BL_SIZE=0, the memory block is 2-byte large, which is the minimum block
allowed in a half-word wide memory. With this block size the allocated buffer size
ranges from 2 to 62 bytes.
–
If BL_SIZE=1, the memory block is 32-byte large, which allows to reach the
maximum packet length defined by USB specifications. With this block size the
allocated buffer size theoretically ranges from 32 to 1024 bytes, which is the longest
packet size allowed by USB standard specifications. However, the applicable size is
limited by the available buffer memory.
Bits 14:10 NUM_BLOCK[4:0]: Number of blocks
These bits define the number of memory blocks allocated to this packet buffer. The actual
amount of allocated memory depends on the BL_SIZE value as illustrated in Table 115.
Bits 9:0 COUNTn_RX[9:0]: Reception byte count
These bits contain the number of bytes received by the endpoint associated with the
USB_EPnR register during the last OUT/SETUP transaction addressed to it.

HDMI-CEC functional description

30.3.1

HDMI-CEC pin
The CEC bus consists of a single bidirectional line that is used to transfer data in and out of
the device. It is connected to a +3.3 V supply voltage via a 27 kΩ pull-up resistor. The output
stage of the device must have an open-drain or open-collector to allow a wired-and
connection.
The HDMI-CEC controller manages the CEC bidirectional line as an alternate function of a
standard GPIO, assuming that it is configured as Alternate Function Open Drain. The 27 kΩ
pull-up must be added externally to the STM32.
To not interfere with the CEC bus when the application power is removed, it is mandatory to
isolate the CEC pin from the bus in such conditions. This could be done by using a MOS
transistor, as shown on Figure 281.

HDMI-CEC controller (HDMI-CEC)

Message description
All transactions on the CEC line consist of an initiator and one or more followers. The
initiator is responsible for sending the message structure and the data. The follower is the
recipient of any data and is responsible for setting any acknowledgment bits.
A message is conveyed in a single frame which consists of a start bit followed by a header
block and optionally an opcode and a variable number of operand blocks.
All these blocks are made of a 8-bit payload - most significant bit is transmitted first followed by an end of message (EOM) bit and an acknowledge (ACK) bit.
The EOM bit is set in the last block of a message and kept reset in all others. In the event
that a message contains additional blocks after an EOM is indicated, those additional blocks
should be ignored. The EOM bit may be set in the header block to ‘ping’ other devices, to
make sure they are active.
The acknowledge bit is always set to high impedance by the initiator so that it can be driven
low either by the follower which has read its own address in the header or by the follower
which needs to reject a broadcast message.
The header consists of the source logical address field, and the destination logical address
field. Note that the special address 0xF is used for broadcast messages.

Bit timing
The format of the start bit is unique and identifies the start of a message. It should be
validated by its low duration and its total duration.
All remaining data bits in the message, after the start bit, have consistent timing. The high to
low transition at the end of the data bit is the start of the next data bit except for the final bit
where the CEC line remains high.

Arbitration
All devices that have to transmit - or retransmit - a message onto the CEC line have to
ensure that it has been inactive for a number of bit periods. This signal free time is defined
as the time starting from the final bit of the previous frame and depends on the initiating
device and the current status as shown in the table below.
Figure 285. Signal free time

1(:0(66$*(
069

Since only one initiator is allowed at any one time, an arbitration mechanism is provided to
avoid conflict when more than one initiator begins transmitting at the same time.
CEC line arbitration commences with the leading edge of the start bit and continues until the
end of the initiator address bits within the header block. During this period, the initiator shall
monitor the CEC line, if whilst driving the line to high impedance it reads it back to 0, it then
assumes it has lost arbitration, stops transmitting and becomes a follower.

A configurable time window is counted before starting the transmission.
In the SFT=0x0 configuration the HDMI-CEC device performs automatic SFT calculation
ensuring compliance with the HDMI-CEC Standard:
•

2.5 data bit periods if the CEC is the last bus initiator with unsuccessful transmission

•

4 data bit periods if the CEC is the new bus initiator

•

6 data bit periods if the CEC is the last bus initiator with successful transmission

This is done to guarantee the maximum priority to a failed transmission and the lowest one
to the last initiator that completed successfully its transmission.
Otherwise there is the possibility to configure the SFT bits to count a fixed timing value.
Possible values are 0.5, 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, 4.5, 5.5, 6.5 data bit periods.

30.4.1

SFT option bit
In case of SFTOPT=0 configuration SFT starts being counted when the start-oftransmission command is set by software (TXSOM=1).
In case of SFTOPT=1, SFT starts automatically being counted by the HDMI-CEC device
when a bus-idle or line error condition is detected. If the SFT timer is completed at the time
TXSOM command is set then transmission starts immediately without latency. If the SFT

857

HDMI-CEC controller (HDMI-CEC)

RM0313

timer is still running instead, the system waits until the timer elapses before transmission
can start.
In case of SFTOPT=1 a bus-event condition starting the SFT timer is detected in the
following cases:
•

In case of a regular end of transmission/reception, when TXEND/RXEND bits are set at
the minimum nominal data bit duration of the last bit in the message (ACK bit).

•

In case of a transmission error detection, SFT timer starts when the TXERR
transmission error is detected (TXERR=1).

•

In case of a missing acknowledge from the CEC follower, the SFT timer starts when the
TXACKE bit is set, that is at the nominal sampling time of the ACK bit.

•

In case of a transmission underrun error, the SFT timer starts when the TXUDR bit is
set at the end of the ACK bit.

•

In case of a receive error detection implying reception abort, the SFT timer starts at the
same time the error is detected. If an error bit is generated, then SFT starts being
counted at the end of the error bit.

•

In case of a wrong start bit or of any uncodified low impedance bus state from idle, the
SFT timer is restarted as soon as the bus comes back to hi-impedance idleness.

30.5

Error handling

30.5.1

Bit error
If a data bit - excluding the start bit - is considered invalid, the follower is expected to notify
such error by generating a low bit period on the CEC line of 1.4 to 1.6 times the nominal
data bit period, i.e. 3.6 ms nominally.

30.5.2

Message error
A message is considered lost and therefore may be retransmitted under the following
conditions:
•

a message is not acknowledged in a directly addressed message

•

a message is negatively acknowledged in a broadcast message

•

a low impedance is detected on the CEC line while it is not expected (line error)

Three kinds of error flag can be detected when the CEC interface is receiving a data bit:

844/904

DocID022448 Rev 5

RM0313

30.5.3

HDMI-CEC controller (HDMI-CEC)

Bit Rising Error (BRE)
BRE (bit rising error): is set when a bit rising edge is detected outside the windows where it
is expected (see Figure 289). BRE flag also generates a CEC interrupt if the BREIE=1.
In the case of a BRE detection, the message reception can be stopped according to the
BRESTP bit value and an error bit can be generated if BREGEN bit is set.
When BRE is detected in a broadcast message with BRESTP=1 an error bit is generated
even if BREGEN=0 to enforce initiator’s retry of the failed transmission. Error bit generation
can be disabled by configuring BREGEN=0, BRDNOGEN=1.

30.5.4

Short Bit Period Error (SBPE)
SBPE is set when a bit falling edge is detected earlier than expected (see Figure 289).
SBPE flag also generates a CEC interrupt if the SBPEIE=1.
An error bit is always generated on the line in case of a SBPE error detection. An Error Bit is
not generated upon SBPE detection only when Listen mode is set (LSTN=1) and the
following conditions are met:

30.5.5

•

A directly addressed message is received containing SBPE

•

A broadcast message is received containing SBPE AND BRDNOGEN=1

Long Bit Period Error (LBPE)
LBPE is set when a bit falling edge is not detected in a valid window (see Figure 289). LBPE
flag also generates a CEC interrupt if the LBPEIE=1.
LBPE always stops the reception, an error bit is generated on the line when LBPEGEN bit is
set.
When LBPE is detected in a broadcast message an error bit is generated even if
LBPEGEN=0 to enforce initiator’s retry of the failed transmission. Error bit generation can
be disabled by configuring LBPEGEN=0, BRDNOGEN=1.

Note:

The BREGEN=1, BRESTP=0 configuration must be avoided

Transmission Error Detection (TXERR)
The CEC initiator sets the TXERR flag if detecting low impedance on the CEC line when it is
transmitting high impedance and is not expecting a follower asserted bit. TXERR flag also
generates a CEC interrupt if the TXERRIE=1.
TXERR assertion stops the message transmission. Application is in charge to retry the
failed transmission up to 5 times.
TXERR checks are performed differently depending on the different states of the CEC line
and on the RX tolerance configuration.

The TXEOM bit is set by software to command transmission of the last byte of a CEC message.
TXEOM is cleared by hardware at the same time and under the same conditions as for TXSOM.
0: TXDR data byte is transmitted with EOM=0
1: TXDR data byte is transmitted with EOM=1
Note: TXEOM must be set when CECEN=1
TXEOM must be set before writing transmission data to TXDR
If TXEOM is set when TXSOM=0, transmitted message will consist of 1 byte (HEADER) only

Bit 1 TXSOM: Tx Start Of Message
TXSOM is set by software to command transmission of the first byte of a CEC message. If the CEC
message consists of only one byte, TXEOM must be set before of TXSOM.
Start-Bit is effectively started on the CEC line after SFT is counted. If TXSOM is set while a message
reception is ongoing, transmission will start after the end of reception.
TXSOM is cleared by hardware after the last byte of the message is sent with a positive acknowledge
(TXEND=1), in case of transmission underrun (TXUDR=1), negative acknowledge (TXACKE=1), and
transmission error (TXERR=1). It is also cleared by CECEN=0. It is not cleared and transmission is
automatically retried in case of arbitration lost (ARBLST=1).

Bit 31 LSTN: Listen mode
LSTN bit is set and cleared by software.
0: CEC peripheral receives only message addressed to its own address (OAR). Messages
addressed to different destination are ignored. Broadcast messages are always received.
1: CEC peripheral receives messages addressed to its own address (OAR) with positive
acknowledge. Messages addressed to different destination are received, but without interfering with
the CEC bus: no acknowledge sent.
Bits 30:16 OAR: Own addresses configuration
The OAR bits are set by software to select which destination logical addresses has to be considered in
receive mode. Each bit, when set, enables the CEC logical address identified by the given bit position.
At the end of HEADER reception, the received destination address is compared with the enabled
addresses. In case of matching address, the incoming message is acknowledged and received. In
case of non-matching address, the incoming message is received only in listen mode (LSTN=1), but
without acknowledge sent. Broadcast messages are always received.
Example:
OAR = 0b000 0000 0010 0001 means that CEC acknowledges addresses 0x0 and 0x5.
Consequently, each message directed to one of these addresses is received.

Bits 31:13 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bit 12 TXACKE: Tx-Missing Acknowledge Error
In transmission mode, TXACKE is set by hardware to inform application that no acknowledge was
received. In case of broadcast transmission, TXACKE informs application that a negative
acknowledge was received. TXACKE aborts message transmission and clears TXSOM and TXEOM
controls.
TXACKE is cleared by software write at 1.
Bit 11 TXERR: Tx-Error
In transmission mode, TXERR is set by hardware if the CEC initiator detects low impedance on the
CEC line while it is released. TXERR aborts message transmission and clears TXSOM and TXEOM
controls.
TXERR is cleared by software write at 1.
Bit 10 TXUDR: Tx-Buffer Underrun
In transmission mode, TXUDR is set by hardware if application was not in time to load TXDR before of
next byte transmission. TXUDR aborts message transmission and clears TXSOM and TXEOM control
bits.
TXUDR is cleared by software write at 1
Bit 9 TXEND: End of Transmission
TXEND is set by hardware to inform application that the last byte of the CEC message has been
successfully transmitted. TXEND clears the TXSOM and TXEOM control bits.
TXEND is cleared by software write at 1.
Bit 8 TXBR: Tx-Byte Request
TXBR is set by hardware to inform application that the next transmission data has to be written to
TXDR. TXBR is set when the 4th bit of currently transmitted byte is sent. Application must write the
next byte to TXDR within 6 nominal data-bit periods before transmission underrun error occurs
(TXUDR).
TXBR is cleared by software write at 1.
Bit 7 ARBLST: Arbitration Lost
ARBLST is set by hardware to inform application that CEC device is switching to reception due to
arbitration lost event following the TXSOM command. ARBLST can be due either to a contending
CEC device starting earlier or starting at the same time but with higher HEADER priority. After
ARBLST assertion TXSOM bit keeps pending for next transmission attempt.
ARBLST is cleared by software write at 1.
Bit 6 RXACKE: Rx-Missing Acknowledge
In receive mode, RXACKE is set by hardware to inform application that no acknowledge was seen on
the CEC line. RXACKE applies only for broadcast messages and in listen mode also for not directly
addressed messages (destination address not enabled in OAR). RXACKE aborts message reception.
RXACKE is cleared by software write at 1.
Bit 5 LBPE: Rx-Long Bit Period Error
LBPE is set by hardware in case a Data-Bit waveform is detected with Long Bit Period Error. LBPE is
set at the end of the maximum bit-extension tolerance allowed by RXTOL, in case falling edge is still
longing. LBPE always stops reception of the CEC message. LBPE generates an Error-Bit on the CEC
line if LBPEGEN=1. In case of broadcast, Error-Bit is generated even in case of LBPEGEN=0.
LBPE is cleared by software write at 1.
Bit 4 SBPE: Rx-Short Bit Period Error
SBPE is set by hardware in case a Data-Bit waveform is detected with Short Bit Period Error. SBPE is
set at the time the anticipated falling edge occurs. SBPE generates an Error-Bit on the CEC line.
SBPE is cleared by software write at 1.

BRE is set by hardware in case a Data-Bit waveform is detected with Bit Rising Error. BRE is set either
at the time the misplaced rising edge occurs, or at the end of the maximum BRE tolerance allowed by
RXTOL, in case rising edge is still longing. BRE stops message reception if BRESTP=1. BRE
generates an Error-Bit on the CEC line if BREGEN=1.
BRE is cleared by software write at 1.
Bit 2 RXOVR: Rx-Overrun
RXOVR is set by hardware if RXBR is not yet cleared at the time a new byte is received on the CEC
line and stored into RXD. RXOVR assertion stops message reception so that no acknowledge is sent.
In case of broadcast, a negative acknowledge is sent.
RXOVR is cleared by software write at 1.
Bit 1 RXEND: End Of Reception
RXEND is set by hardware to inform application that the last byte of a CEC message is received from
the CEC line and stored into the RXD buffer. RXEND is set at the same time of RXBR.
RXEND is cleared by software write at 1.
Bit 0 RXBR: Rx-Byte Received

Debug support (DBG)
This section applies to the whole STM32F37xxx family, unless otherwise specified.

31.1

Overview
The STM32F37xxx built around a Cortex®-M4 with FPU core which contains hardware
extensions for advanced debugging features. The debug extensions allow the core to be
stopped either on a given instruction fetch (breakpoint) or data access (watchpoint). When
stopped, the core’s internal state and the system’s external state may be examined. Once
examination is complete, the core and the system may be restored and program execution
resumed.
The debug features are used by the debugger host when connecting to and debugging the
STM32F37xxx MCUs.
Two interfaces for debug are available:
•

Serial wire

•

JTAG debug port

Design Kit.

The ARM Cortex®-M4 with FPU core provides integrated on-chip debug support. It is
comprised of:
•

SWJ-DP: Serial wire / JTAG debug port

•

AHP-AP: AHB access port

•

ITM: Instrumentation trace macrocell

•

FPB: Flash patch breakpoint

•

DWT: Data watchpoint trigger

•

TPUI: Trace port unit interface (available on larger packages, where the corresponding
pins are mapped)

•

ETM: Embedded Trace Macrocell (available on larger packages, where the
corresponding pins are mapped)

It also includes debug features dedicated to the STM32F37xxx:
•

Flexible debug pinout assignment

•

MCU debug box (support for low-power modes, control over peripheral clocks, etc.)

Note:

For further information on debug functionality supported by the ARM Cortex®-M4 with FPU
core, refer to the Cortex®-M4 with FPU Technical Reference Manual and to the CoreSight
Design Kit-r1p0 TRM (see Section 31.2: Reference ARM documentation).

SWJ debug port (serial wire and JTAG)
The STM32F37xxx core integrates the Serial Wire / JTAG Debug Port (SWJ-DP). It is an
ARM standard CoreSight debug port that combines a JTAG-DP (5-pin) interface and a SWDP (2-pin) interface.
•

The JTAG Debug Port (JTAG-DP) provides a 5-pin standard JTAG interface to the
AHP-AP port.

•

The Serial Wire Debug Port (SW-DP) provides a 2-pin (clock + data) interface to the
AHP-AP port.

In the SWJ-DP, the two JTAG pins of the SW-DP are multiplexed with some of the five JTAG
pins of the JTAG-DP.

Figure 292 shows that the asynchronous TRACE output (TRACESWO) is multiplexed with
TDO. This means that the asynchronous trace can only be used with SW-DP, not JTAG-DP.

31.3.1

Mechanism to select the JTAG-DP or the SW-DP
By default, the JTAG-Debug Port is active.
If the debugger host wants to switch to the SW-DP, it must provide a dedicated JTAG
sequence on TMS/TCK (respectively mapped to SWDIO and SWCLK) which disables the
JTAG-DP and enables the SW-DP. This way it is possible to activate the SWDP using only
the SWCLK and SWDIO pins.
This sequence is:

31.4

1.

Send more than 50 TCK cycles with TMS (SWDIO) =1

2.

Send the 16-bit sequence on TMS (SWDIO) = 0111100111100111 (MSB transmitted
first)

3.

Send more than 50 TCK cycles with TMS (SWDIO) =1

Pinout and debug port pins
The STM32F37xxx MCUs are available in various packages with different numbers of
available pins. As a result, some functionality (ETM) related to pin availability may differ
between packages.

Flexible SWJ-DP pin assignment
After RESET (SYSRESETn or PORESETn), all five pins used for the SWJ-DP are assigned
as dedicated pins immediately usable by the debugger host (note that the trace outputs are
not assigned except if explicitly programmed by the debugger host).
However, the STM32F37xxx MCU offer the possibility of disabling some or all of the SWJDP ports and so, of releasing (in gray in the table below) the associated pins for generalpurpose I/O (GPIO) usage. For more details on how to disable SWJ-DP port pins, please
refer to Section 8.3.2: I/O pin alternate function multiplexer and mapping.

When the APB bridge write buffer is full, it takes one extra APB cycle when writing the
AFIO_MAPR register. This is because the deactivation of the JTAGSW pins is done in two
cycles to guarantee a clean level on the nTRST and TCK input signals of the core.
•

Cycle 1: the JTAGSW input signals to the core are tied to 1 or 0 (to 1 for nTRST, TDI
and TMS, to 0 for TCK)

•

Cycle 2: the GPIO controller takes the control signals of the SWJTAG I/O pins (like
controls of direction, pull-up/down, Schmitt trigger activation, etc.).

RM0313

Internal pull-up and pull-down on JTAG pins
It is necessary to ensure that the JTAG input pins are not floating since they are directly
connected to flip-flops to control the debug mode features. Special care must be taken with
the SWCLK/TCK pin which is directly connected to the clock of some of these flip-flops.
To avoid any uncontrolled I/O levels, the device embeds internal pull-ups and pull-downs on
the JTAG input pins:
•

NJTRST: Internal pull-up

•

JTDI: Internal pull-up

•

JTMS/SWDIO: Internal pull-up

•

TCK/SWCLK: Internal pull-down

Once a JTAG I/O is released by the user software, the GPIO controller takes control again.
The reset states of the GPIO control registers put the I/Os in the equivalent state:
•

NJTRST: Input pull-up

•

JTDI: Input pull-up

•

JTMS/SWDIO: Input pull-up

•

JTCK/SWCLK: Input pull-down

•

JTDO: Input floating

The software can then use these I/Os as standard GPIOs.
Note:

The JTAG IEEE standard recommends to add pull-ups on TDI, TMS and nTRST but there is
no special recommendation for TCK. However, for JTCK, the device needs an integrated
pull-down.
Having embedded pull-ups and pull-downs removes the need to add external resistors.

Using serial wire and releasing the unused debug pins as GPIOs
To use the serial wire DP to release some GPIOs, the user software must change the GPIO
(PA15, PB3 and PB4) configuration mode in the GPIO_MODER register. This releases
PA15, PB3 and PB4 which now become available as GPIOs.
When debugging, the host performs the following actions:

Note:

•

Under system reset, all SWJ pins are assigned (JTAG-DP + SW-DP).

•

Under system reset, the debugger host sends the JTAG sequence to switch from the
JTAG-DP to the SW-DP.

•

Still under system reset, the debugger sets a breakpoint on vector reset.

•

The system reset is released and the Core halts.

•

All the debug communications from this point are done using the SW-DP. The other
JTAG pins can then be reassigned as GPIOs by the user software.

For user software designs, note that:
To release the debug pins, remember that they will be first configured either in input-pull-up
(nTRST, TMS, TDI) or pull-down (TCK) or output tri-state (TDO) for a certain duration after
reset until the instant when the user software releases the pins.
When debug pins (JTAG or SW or TRACE) are mapped, changing the corresponding I/O
pin configuration in the IOPORT controller has no effect.

STM32F37xxx JTAG TAP connection
The STM32F37xxx MCUs integrate two serially connected JTAG TAPs, the boundary scan
TAP (IR is 5-bit wide) and the Cortex®-M4 with FPU TAP (IR is 4-bit wide).
To access the TAP of the Cortex®-M4 with FPU for debug purposes:

Note:

1.

First, it is necessary to shift the BYPASS instruction of the boundary scan TAP.

2.

Then, for each IR shift, the scan chain contains 9 bits (=5+4) and the unused TAP
instruction must be shifted in using the BYPASS instruction.

3.

For each data shift, the unused TAP, which is in BYPASS mode, adds 1 extra data bit in
the data scan chain.

Important: Once Serial-Wire is selected using the dedicated ARM JTAG sequence, the
boundary scan TAP is automatically disabled (JTMS forced high).

MCU device ID code
The STM32F37xxx MCUs integrate an MCU ID code. This ID identifies the ST MCU partnumber and the die revision. It is part of the DBG_MCU component and is mapped on the
external PPB bus (see Section 31.16 on page 877). This code is accessible using the JTAG
debug port (4 to 5 pins) or the SW debug port (two pins) or by the user software. It is even
accessible while the MCU is under system reset.
Only the DEV_ID(11:0) should be used for identification by the debugger/programmer tools.

SW debug port

31.8.1

SW protocol introduction
This synchronous serial protocol uses two pins:
•

SWCLK: clock from host to target

•

SWDIO: bidirectional

The protocol allows two banks of registers (DPACC registers and APACC registers) to be
read and written to.
Bits are transferred LSB-first on the wire.
For SWDIO bidirectional management, the line must be pulled-up on the board (100 kΩ
recommended by ARM).
Each time the direction of SWDIO changes in the protocol, a turnaround time is inserted
where the line is not driven by the host nor the target. By default, this turnaround time is one
bit time, however this can be adjusted by configuring the SWCLK frequency.

31.8.2

SW protocol sequence
Each sequence consist of three phases:
1.

Packet request (8 bits) transmitted by the host

2.

Acknowledge response (3 bits) transmitted by the target

3.

Data transfer phase (33 bits) transmitted by the host or the target

SW-DP state machine (reset, idle states, ID code)
The State Machine of the SW-DP has an internal ID code which identifies the SW-DP. It
follows the JEP-106 standard. This ID code is the default ARM one and is set to
0x1BA01477 (corresponding to Cortex®-M4 with FPU).

Note:

Note that the SW-DP state machine is inactive until the target reads this ID code.
•

The SW-DP state machine is in RESET STATE either after power-on reset, or after the
DP has switched from JTAG to SWD or after the line is high for more than 50 cycles

•

The SW-DP state machine is in IDLE STATE if the line is low for at least two cycles
after RESET state.

•

After RESET state, it is mandatory to first enter into an IDLE state AND to perform a
READ access of the DP-SW ID CODE register. Otherwise, the target will issue a
FAULT acknowledge response on another transactions.

Further details of the SW-DP state machine can be found in the Cortex®-M4 with FPU TRM
and the CoreSight Design Kit r1p0 TRM.

31.8.4

DP and AP read/write accesses
•

Read accesses to the DP are not posted: the target response can be immediate (if
ACK=OK) or can be delayed (if ACK=WAIT).

•

Read accesses to the AP are posted. This means that the result of the access is
returned on the next transfer. If the next access to be done is NOT an AP access, then
the DP-RDBUFF register must be read to obtain the result.
The READOK flag of the DP-CTRL/STAT register is updated on every AP read access
or RDBUFF read request to know if the AP read access was successful.

•

The SW-DP implements a write buffer (for both DP or AP writes), that enables it to
accept a write operation even when other transactions are still outstanding. If the write
buffer is full, the target acknowledge response is “WAIT”. With the exception of

DocID022448 Rev 5

889

Debug support (DBG)

RM0313

IDCODE read or CTRL/STAT read or ABORT write which are accepted even if the write
buffer is full.
•

31.8.5

Because of the asynchronous clock domains SWCLK and HCLK, two extra SWCLK
cycles are needed after a write transaction (after the parity bit) to make the write
effective internally. These cycles should be applied while driving the line low (IDLE
state)
This is particularly important when writing the CTRL/STAT for a power-up request. If the
next transaction (requiring a power-up) occurs immediately, it will fail.

Core debug
Core debug is accessed through the core debug registers. Debug access to these registers
is by means of the Advanced High-performance Bus (AHB-AP) port. The processor can
access these registers directly over the internal Private Peripheral Bus (PPB). It consists of
4 registers:
Table 131. Core debug registers

Description

DHCSR

The 32-bit Debug Halting Control and Status Register
This provides status information about the state of the processor enable core debug
halt and step the processor

DCRSR

The 17-bit Debug Core Register Selector Register:
This selects the processor register to transfer data to or from.

DCRDR

The 32-bit Debug Core Register Data Register:
This holds data for reading and writing registers to and from the processor selected
by the DCRSR (Selector) register.

DEMCR

The 32-bit Debug Exception and Monitor Control Register:
This provides Vector Catching and Debug Monitor Control. This register contains a
bit named TRCENA which enable the use of a TRACE.

These registers are not reset by a system reset. They are only reset by a power-on reset.
Refer to the Cortex®-M4 with FPU TRM for further details.
To Halt on reset, it is necessary to:

31.11

•

enable the bit0 (VC_CORRESET) of the Debug and Exception Monitor Control
Register

•

enable the bit0 (C_DEBUGEN) of the Debug Halting Control and Status Register.

Capability of the debugger host to connect under system
reset
The STM32F37xxx MCUs’ reset system comprises the following reset sources:
•

POR (power-on reset) which asserts a RESET at each power-up.

•

Internal watchdog reset

•

Software reset

•

External reset

The Cortex®-M4 with FPU differentiates the reset of the debug part (generally
PORRESETn) and the other one (SYSRESETn)
This way, it is possible for the debugger to connect under System Reset, programming the
Core Debug Registers to halt the core when fetching the reset vector. Then the host can
release the system reset and the core will immediately halt without having executed any
instructions. In addition, it is possible to program any debug features under System Reset.
Note:

872/904

It is highly recommended for the debugger host to connect (set a breakpoint in the reset
vector) under system reset.

•

implements hardware breakpoints

•

patches code and data from code space to system space. This feature gives the
possibility to correct software bugs located in the Code Memory Space.

The use of a Software Patch or a Hardware Breakpoint is exclusive.
The FPB consists of:

31.13

•

2 literal comparators for matching against literal loads from Code Space and remapping
to a corresponding area in the System Space.

•

6 instruction comparators for matching against instruction fetches from Code Space.
They can be used either to remap to a corresponding area in the System Space or to
generate a Breakpoint Instruction to the core.

The DWT unit consists of four comparators. They are configurable as:
•

a hardware watchpoint or

•

a trigger to an ETM or

•

a PC sampler or

•

a data address sampler

The DWT also provides some means to give some profiling informations. For this, some
counters are accessible to give the number of:
•

ITM (instrumentation trace macrocell)

31.14.1

General description
The ITM is an application-driven trace source that supports printf style debugging to trace
Operating System (OS) and application events, and emits diagnostic system information.
The ITM emits trace information as packets which can be generated as:
•

Software trace. Software can write directly to the ITM stimulus registers to emit
packets.

•

Hardware trace. The DWT generates these packets, and the ITM emits them.

•

Time stamping. Timestamps are emitted relative to packets. The ITM contains a 21-bit
counter to generate the timestamp. The Cortex®-M4 with FPU clock or the bit clock rate
of the Serial Wire Viewer (SWV) output clocks the counter.

DocID022448 Rev 5

873/904
889

Debug support (DBG)

RM0313

The packets emitted by the ITM are output to the TPIU (Trace Port Interface Unit). The
formatter of the TPIU adds some extra packets (refer to TPIU) and then output the complete
packets sequence to the debugger host.
The bit TRCEN of the Debug Exception and Monitor Control Register must be enabled
before you program or use the ITM.

31.14.2

Time stamp packets, synchronization and overflow packets
Time stamp packets encode time stamp information, generic control and synchronization. It
uses a 21-bit timestamp counter (with possible prescalers) which is reset at each time
stamp packet emission. This counter can be either clocked by the CPU clock or the SWV
clock.
A synchronization packet consists of 6 bytes equal to 0x80_00_00_00_00_00 which is
emitted to the TPIU as 00 00 00 00 00 80 (LSB emitted first).
A synchronization packet is a timestamp packet control. It is emitted at each DWT trigger.
For this, the DWT must be configured to trigger the ITM: the bit CYCCNTENA (bit0) of the
DWT Control Register must be set. In addition, the bit2 (SYNCENA) of the ITM Trace
Control Register must be set.

Note:

If the SYNENA bit is not set, the DWT generates Synchronization triggers to the TPIU which
will send only TPIU synchronization packets and not ITM synchronization packets.
An overflow packet consists is a special timestamp packets which indicates that data has
been written but the FIFO was full.

General description
The ETM enables the reconstruction of program execution. Data are traced using the Data
Watchpoint and Trace (DWT) component or the Instruction Trace Macrocell (ITM) whereas
instructions are traced using the Embedded Trace Macrocell (ETM).
The ETM transmits information as packets and is triggered by embedded resources. These
resources must be programmed independently and the trigger source is selected using the
Trigger Event Register (0xE0041008). An event could be a simple event (address match
from an address comparator) or a logic equation between 2 events. The trigger source is
one of the fourth comparators of the DWT module, The following events can be monitored:
•

Clock cycle matching

•

Data address matching

Debug support (DBG)

MCU debug component (DBGMCU)
The MCU debug component helps the debugger provide support for:

31.16.1

•

Low-power modes

•

Clock control for timers, watchdog, I2C and bxCAN during a breakpoint

•

Control of the trace pins assignment

Debug support for low-power modes
To enter low-power mode, the instruction WFI or WFE must be executed.
The MCU implements several low-power modes which can either deactivate the CPU clock
or reduce the power of the CPU.
The core does not allow FCLK or HCLK to be turned off during a debug session. As these
are required for the debugger connection, during a debug, they must remain active. The
MCU integrates special means to allow the user to debug software in low-power modes.
For this, the debugger host must first set some debug configuration registers to change the
low-power mode behavior:
•

In Sleep mode, DBG_SLEEP bit of DBGMCU_CR register must be previously set by
the debugger. This will feed HCLK with the same clock that is provided to FCLK
(system clock previously configured by the software).

•

In Stop mode, the bit DBG_STOP must be previously set by the debugger. This will
enable the internal RC oscillator clock to feed FCLK and HCLK in STOP mode.

Note:

When the device is in Debug Stop or Debug Sleep mode (configured through DBG_STOP
or DBG_SLEEP bits in the DBGMCU_CR registers), the Systick timer is always running and
cannot be frozen. As a consequence, different Systick timer values are observed if the
application code is running with and without debugger.

31.16.2

Debug support for timers, watchdog, bxCAN and I2C
During a breakpoint, it is necessary to choose how the counter of timers and watchdog
should behave:
•

They can continue to count inside a breakpoint. This is usually required when a PWM is
controlling a motor, for example.

•

They can stop to count inside a breakpoint. This is required for watchdog purposes.

For the bxCAN, the user can choose to block the update of the receive register during a
breakpoint.
For the I2C, the user can choose to block the SMBUS timeout during a breakpoint.

31.16.3

Debug MCU configuration register
This register allows the configuration of the MCU under DEBUG. This concerns:
•

Low-power mode support

•

Timer and watchdog counter support

•

bxCAN communication support

•

Bit 2 DBG_STANDBY: Debug Standby mode
0: (FCLK=Off, HCLK=Off) The whole digital part is unpowered.
From software point of view, exiting from Standby is identical than fetching reset vector
(except a few status bit indicated that the MCU is resuming from Standby)
1: (FCLK=On, HCLK=On) In this case, the digital part is not unpowered and FCLK and
HCLK are provided by the internal RC oscillator which remains active. In addition, the MCU
generate a system reset during Standby mode so that exiting from Standby is identical than
fetching from reset
Bit 1 DBG_STOP: Debug Stop mode
0: (FCLK=Off, HCLK=Off) In STOP mode, the clock controller disables all clocks (including
HCLK and FCLK). When exiting from STOP mode, the clock configuration is identical to the
one after RESET (CPU clocked by the 8 MHz internal RC oscillator (HSI)). Consequently,
the software must reprogram the clock controller to enable the PLL, the Xtal, etc.
1: (FCLK=On, HCLK=On) In this case, when entering STOP mode, FCLK and HCLK are
provided by the internal RC oscillator which remains active in STOP mode. When exiting
STOP mode, the software must reprogram the clock controller to enable the PLL, the Xtal,
etc. (in the same way it would do in case of DBG_STOP=0)
Bit 0 DBG_SLEEP: Debug Sleep mode
0: (FCLK=On, HCLK=Off) In Sleep mode, FCLK is clocked by the system clock as
previously configured by the software while HCLK is disabled.
In Sleep mode, the clock controller configuration is not reset and remains in the previously
programmed state. Consequently, when exiting from Sleep mode, the software does not
need to reconfigure the clock controller.
1: (FCLK=On, HCLK=On) In this case, when entering Sleep mode, HCLK is fed by the same
clock that is provided to FCLK (system clock as previously configured by the software).

TPIU (trace port interface unit)

31.17.1

Introduction
The TPIU acts as a bridge between the on-chip trace data from the ITM and the ETM.
The output data stream encapsulates the trace source ID, that is then captured by a trace
port analyzer (TPA).
The core embeds a simple TPIU, especially designed for low-cost debug (consisting of a
special version of the CoreSight TPIU).

TPUI TRACE pin assignment
By default, these pins are NOT assigned. They can be assigned by setting the
TRACE_IOEN and TRACE_MODE bits in the MCU Debug component configuration
register. This configuration has to be done by the debugger host.
In addition, the number of pins to assign depends on the trace configuration (asynchronous
or synchronous).
•

Asynchronous mode: 1 extra pin is needed

•

Synchronous mode: from 2 to 5 extra pins are needed depending on the size of the
data trace port register (1, 2 or 4):
–

TRACECK

–

TRACED(0) if port size is configured to 1, 2 or 4

–

TRACED(1) if port size is configured to 2 or 4

–

TRACED(2) if port size is configured to 4

–

TRACED(3) if port size is configured to 4

To assign the TRACE pin, the debugger host must program the bits TRACE_IOEN and
TRACE_MODE[1:0] of the Debug MCU configuration Register (DBGMCU_CR). By default
the TRACE pins are not assigned.
This register is mapped on the external PPB and is reset by the PORESET (and not by the
SYSTEM reset). It can be written by the debugger under SYSTEM reset.

The debugger must then program the Trace Mode by writing the PROTOCOL[1:0] bits in the
SPP_R (Selected Pin Protocol) register of the TPIU.
•

PROTOCOL=00: Trace Port Mode (synchronous)

•

PROTOCOL=01 or 10: Serial Wire (Manchester or NRZ) Mode (asynchronous mode).
Default state is 01

It then also configures the TRACE port size by writing the bits [3:0] in the CPSPS_R
(Current Sync Port Size Register) of the TPIU:

31.17.3

•

0x1 for 1 pin (default state)

•

0x2 for 2 pins

•

0x8 for 4 pins

TPUI formatter
The formatter protocol outputs data in 16-byte frames:
•

seven bytes of data

•

eight bytes of mixed-use bytes consisting of:

•

–

1 bit (LSB) to indicate it is a DATA byte (‘0) or an ID byte (‘1).

–

7 bits (MSB) which can be data or change of source ID trace.

one byte of auxiliary bits where each bit corresponds to one of the eight mixed-use
bytes:
–

if the corresponding byte was a data, this bit gives bit0 of the data.

–

if the corresponding byte was an ID change, this bit indicates when that ID change
takes effect.

Note:

Refer to the ARM CoreSight Architecture Specification v1.0 (ARM IHI 0029B) for further
information

31.17.4

TPUI frame synchronization packets
The TPUI can generate two types of synchronization packets:
•

The Frame Synchronization packet (or Full Word Synchronization packet)
It consists of the word: 0x7F_FF_FF_FF (LSB emitted first). This sequence can not
occur at any other time provided that the ID source code 0x7F has not been used.
It is output periodically between frames.
In continuous mode, the TPA must discard all these frames once a synchronization
frame has been found.

•

The Half-Word Synchronization packet
It consists of the half word: 0x7F_FF (LSB emitted first).
It is output periodically between or within frames.
These packets are only generated in continuous mode and enable the TPA to detect
that the TRACE port is in IDLE mode (no TRACE to be captured). When detected by
the TPA, it must be discarded.

31.17.5

Transmission of the synchronization frame packet
There is no Synchronization Counter register implemented in the TPIU of the core.
Consequently, the synchronization trigger can only be generated by the DWT. Refer to the

DocID022448 Rev 5

885/904
889

Debug support (DBG)

RM0313

registers DWT Control Register (bits SYNCTAP[11:10]) and the DWT Current PC Sampler
Cycle Count Register.
The TPUI Frame synchronization packet (0x7F_FF_FF_FF) is emitted:

31.17.6

•

after each TPIU reset release. This reset is synchronously released with the rising
edge of the TRACECLKIN clock. This means that this packet is transmitted when the
TRACE_IOEN bit in the DBGMCU_CFG register is set. In this case, the word
0x7F_FF_FF_FF is not followed by any formatted packet.

•

at each DWT trigger (assuming DWT has been previously configured). Two cases
occur:
–

If the bit SYNENA of the ITM is reset, only the word 0x7F_FF_FF_FF is emitted
without any formatted stream which follows.

–

If the bit SYNENA of the ITM is set, then the ITM synchronization packets will
follow (0x80_00_00_00_00_00), formatted by the TPUI (trace source ID added).

Synchronous mode
The trace data output size can be configured to 4, 2 or 1 pin: TRACED(3:0)
The output clock is output to the debugger (TRACECK)
Here, TRACECLKIN is driven internally and is connected to HCLK only when TRACE is
used.

Note:

In this synchronous mode, it is not required to provide a stable clock frequency.
The TRACE I/Os (including TRACECK) are driven by the rising edge of TRACLKIN (equal
to HCLK). Consequently, the output frequency of TRACECK is equal to HCLK/2.

31.17.7

Asynchronous mode
This is a low cost alternative to output the trace using only 1 pin: this is the asynchronous
output pin TRACESWO. Obviously there is a limited bandwidth.
TRACESWO is multiplexed with JTDO when using the SW-DP pin. This way, this
functionality is available in all STM32F37xxx packages.
This asynchronous mode requires a constant frequency for TRACECLKIN. For the standard
UART (NRZ) capture mechanism, 5% accuracy is needed. The Manchester encoded
version is tolerant up to 10%.

31.17.8

TRACECLKIN connection inside the STM32F37xxx
In the STM32F37xxx, this TRACECLKIN input is internally connected to HCLK. This means
that when in asynchronous trace mode, the application is restricted to use to time frames
where the CPU frequency is stable.

Note:

Important: when using asynchronous trace: it is important to be aware that:
The default clock of the STM32F37xxx MCUs is the internal RC oscillator. Its frequency
under reset is different from the one after reset release. This is because the RC calibration
is the default one under system reset and is updated at each system reset release.
Consequently, the trace port analyzer (TPA) should not enable the trace (with the
TRACE_IOEN bit) under system reset, because a Synchronization Frame Packet will be
issued with a different bit time than trace packets which will be transmitted after reset
release.

be written to activate or not the formatter.
Bit 0 = always 0
The resulting default value is 0x102
Note: In synchronous mode, because the TRACECTL pin is not
mapped outside the chip, the formatter is always enabled in
continuous mode -this way the formatter inserts some control
packets to identify the source of the trace packets).

31.18

•

Set the bit TRCENA in the Debug Exception and Monitor Control Register (DEMCR)

•

Write the TPIU Current Port Size Register to the desired value (default is 0x1 for a 1-bit
port size)

•

Write TPIU Formatter and Flush Control Register to 0x102 (default value)

•

Write the TPIU Select Pin Protocol to select the sync or async mode. Example: 0x2 for
async NRZ mode (UART like)

•

Write the DBGMCU control register to 0x20 (bit IO_TRACEN) to assign TRACE I/Os
for async mode. A TPIU Sync packet is emitted at this time (FF_FF_FF_7F)

•

Configure the ITM and write the ITM Stimulus register to output a value

Device electronic signature

32

RM0313

Device electronic signature
The device electronic signature is stored in the System memory area of the Flash memory
module, and can be read using the debug interface or by the CPU. It contains factoryprogrammed identification and calibration data that allow the user firmware or other external
devices to automatically match to the characteristics of the STM32F37xxx microcontroller.

32.1

Unique device ID register (96 bits)
The unique device identifier is ideally suited:
•

for use as serial numbers (for example USB string serial numbers or other end
applications)

•

for use as part of the security keys in order to increase the security of code in Flash
memory while using and combining this unique ID with software cryptographic
primitives and protocols before programming the internal Flash memory

•

to activate secure boot processes, etc.

The 96-bit unique device identifier provides a reference number which is unique for any
device and in any context. These bits cannot be altered by the user.
Base address: 0x1FFF F7AC
Address offset: 0x00
Read only = 0xXXXX XXXX where X is factory-programmed
