System and memory overview
The multi-AHB Bus-Matrix interconnects all the masters and slaves and it consists on:
–

32-bit multi-AHB Bus-Matrix

–

64-bit multi-AHB Bus-Matrix: It interconnects the 64-bit AHB bus from CPU
through the AXI to AHB bridge and the 32-bit AHB bus from GP DMAs and
peripheral DMAs upsized to 64-bit to the internal flash.

The multi AHB bus matrix interconnects:
•

•

Multi AHB BusMatrix
The multi AHB BusMatrix manages the access arbitration between masters. The arbitration
uses a round-robin algorithm.
It provides access from a master to a slave, enabling concurrent access and efficient
operation even when several high-speed peripherals work simultaneously.
The DTCM and ITCM RAMs (tightly coupled memories) are not part of the bus matrix.
The Data TCM RAM is accessible by the GP-DMAs and peripherals DMAs through specific
AHB slave bus of the CPU.
The instruction TCM RAM is reserved only for CPU. it is accessed at CPU clock speed with
0 wait states. The architecture is shown in Figure 1.

2.1.2

AHB/APB bridges (APB)
The two AHB/APB bridges, APB1 and APB2, provide full synchronous connections between
the AHB and the two APB buses, allowing flexible selection of the peripheral frequency.

System and memory overview

RM0385

Refer to the device datasheets for more details on APB1 and APB2 maximum frequencies,
and to Table 1 for the address mapping of AHB and APB peripherals.
After each device reset, all peripheral clocks are disabled (except for the SRAM, DTCM,
ITCM RAM and Flash memory interface). Before using a peripheral its clock has to be
enabled in the RCC_AHBxENR or RCC_APBxENR register.
Note:

When a 16- or an 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.

2.1.3

CPU AXIM bus
This bus connects the Instruction and data bus of the Cortex®-M7 with FPU core to the
multi-AHB Bus-Matrix through AXI to AHB bridge. There are 4 AXI bus accesses:

2.1.4

–

CPU AXI bus access 1: The target of this AXI bus is the external memory FMC
containing code or data. For the NAND Bank mapped at address 0x8000 0000 to
0x8FFF FFFF, the MPU memory attribute for this space must be reconfigured by
software to Device.

–

CPU AXI bus access 2: The target of this AXI bus is the external memory Quad
SPI containing code or data.

–

CPU AXI bus access 3: The target of this AXI bus is the internal SRAMs (SRAM1
and SRAM2) containing code or data.

–

CPU AXI bus access 4: The target of this AXI bus is the embedded Flash mapped
on AXI interface containing code or data.

ITCM bus
This bus is used by the Cortex®-M7 for instruction fetches and data access on the
embedded flash mapped on ITCM interface and instruction fetches only on ITCM RAM.

2.1.5

DTCM bus
This bus is used by the Cortex®-M7 for data access on the DTCM RAM. It can be also used
for instruction fetches.

2.1.6

CPU AHBS bus
This bus connects the AHB Slave bus of the Cortex®-M7 to the BusMatrix. This bus is used
by DMAs and Peripherals DMAs for Data transfer on DTCM RAM only.
The ITCM bus is not accessible on AHBS. So the DMA data transfer to/from ITCM RAM is
not supported. For DMA transfer to/from Flash on ITCM interface, all the transfers are
forced through AHB bus

2.1.7

AHB peripheral bus
This bus connects the AHB Peripheral bus of the Cortex®-M7 to the BusMatrix. This bus is
used by the core to perform all data accesses to peripherals.
The target of this bus is the AHB1 peripherals including the APB peripherals and the AHB2
peripherals.

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 eight main blocks, of 512 Mbytes each.

Embedded SRAM
The STM32F75xxx and STM32F74xxx feature:
•

System SRAM up to 320 Kbytes including Data TCM RAM 64 Kbytes

•

Instruction RAM (ITCM-RAM) 16 Kbytes.

•

4 Kbytes of backup SRAM (see section 5.1.2: Battery backup domain)

The embedded SRAM is divided into up to four blocks:
•

•

System SRAM:
–

SRAM1 mapped at address 0x2001 0000 and accessible by all AHB masters from
AHB bus Matrix.

–

SRAM2 mapped at address 0x2004 C000 and accessible by all AHB masters from
AHB bus Matrix.

–

DTCM-RAM on TCM interface (Tightly Coupled Memory interface) mapped at
address 0x2000 0000 and accessible by all AHB masters from AHB bus Matrix but
through a specific AHB slave bus of the CPU.

Instruction SRAM:
–

Instruction RAM (ITCM-RAM) mapped at address 0x0000 0000 and accessible
only by CPU.

The SRAM1 and SRAM2 can be accessed as bytes, half-words (16 bits) or full words (32
bits). While DTCM and ITCM RAMs can be accessed as bytes, half-words (16 bits), full
words (32 bits) or double words (64 bits). These memories can be addressed at maximum
system clock frequency without wait state.
The AHB masters support concurrent SRAM accesses (from the Ethernet or the USB OTG
HS): for instance, the Ethernet MAC can read/write from/to SRAM2 while the CPU is
reading/writing from/to SRAM1.

2.4

Flash memory overview
The Flash memory interface manages CPU AXI and TCM accesses to the Flash memory. It
implements the erase and program Flash memory operations and the read and write
protection mechanisms. It accelerates code execution with ART on TCM interface or L1Cache on AXIM interface.
The Flash memory is organized as follows:
•

A main memory block divided into sectors.

•

An information block:
–

System memory from which the device boots in System memory boot mode

–

1024 OTP (one-time programmable) bytes for user data.

–

Option bytes to configure read and write protection, BOR level, software/hardware
watchdog, boot memory base address and reset when the device is in Standby or
Stop mode.

Refer to Section 3: Embedded Flash memory (FLASH) for more details.

The values on the BOOT pin are latched on the 4th rising edge of SYSCLK after reset
release. It is up to the user to set the BOOT pin after reset.
The BOOT pin is also resampled when the device exits the Standby mode. Consequently,
they must be kept in the required Boot mode configuration when the device is in the Standby
mode.
After startup delay, the selection of the boot area is done before releasing the processor
reset.
The BOOT_ADD0 and BOOT_ADD1 address option bytes allows to program any boot
memory address from 0x0000 0000 to 0x3FFF FFFF which includes:
•

All Flash address space mapped on ITCM or AXIM interface

•

All RAM address space: ITCM, DTCM RAMs and SRAMs mapped on AXIM interface

•

The System memory bootloader

The BOOT_ADD0 / BOOT_ADD1 option bytes can be modified after reset in order to boot
from any other boot address after next reset.
If the programmed boot memory address is out of the memory mapped area or a reserved
area, the default boot fetch address is programmed as follows:
–

Boot address 0: ITCM-FLASH at 0x0020 0000

–

Boot address 1: ITCM-RAM at 0x0000 0000

When flash level 2 protection is enabled, only boot from Flash (on ITCM or AXIM interface)
or system bootloader will be available. If the already programmed boot address in the
BOOT_ADD0 and/or BOOT_ADD1 option bytes is out of the memory range or RAM
address (on ITCM or AXIM) the default fetch will be forced from Flash on ITCM interface at
address 0x00200000.

Embedded bootloader
The embedded bootloader code is located in the system memory. It is programmed by ST
during production. For full information, refer to the application note (AN2606) STM32
microcontroller system memory boot mode.

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385
By default, when the boot from system bootloader is selected, the code is executed from
TCM interface. It could be executed from AXIM interface by reprogramming the
BOOT_ADDx address option bytes to 0x1FF0 0000.

Flash functional description

3.3.1

Flash memory organization
The Flash memory has the following main features:
•

Capacity up to 1 Mbyte on STM32F756xx and STM32F74xx devices and 64 Kbytes on
STM32F750xx devices

•

256 bits wide data read

•

Byte, half-word, word and double word write

•

Sector and mass erase

The Flash memory is organized as follows:
•

On STM32F756xx and STM32F74xx devices, a main memory block divided into 4
sectors of 32 Kbytes, 1 sector of 128 Kbytes and 3 sectors of 256 Kbytes

•

On STM32F750xx devices, a main memory block divided into 2 sectors of 32 Kbytes.

•

Information blocks containing:
–

System memory from which the device boots in System memory boot mode

–

1024 OTP (one-time programmable) for user data

–

The OTP area contains 16 additional bytes used to lock the corresponding OTP
data block.

–

Option bytes to configure read and write protection, BOR level, software/hardware
watchdog, boot memory base address and reset when the device is in Standby or
Stop mode.

The embedded flash has three main interfaces:
•

•

•

64-bits ITCM interface:
–

It is connected to the ITCM bus of Cortex-M7 and used for instruction execution
and data read access.

–

Write accesses are not supported on ITCM interface

–

Supports a unified 64 cache lines of 256 bits (ART accelerator)

64-bits AHB interface:
–

It is connected to the AXI bus of Cortex-M7 through the AHB bus matrix and used
for code execution, read and write accesses.

–

DMAs and peripherals DMAs data transfer on Flash are done through the AHB
interface whatever the addressed flash interface TCM or AHB.

32-bits AHB register interface:
–

It is used for control and status register accesses.

The main memory and information block organization are shown in Table 3.

Read access latency
To correctly read data from Flash memory, the number of wait states (LATENCY) must be
correctly programmed in the Flash access control register (FLASH_ACR) according to the
frequency of the CPU clock (HCLK) and the supply voltage of the device.
The correspondence between wait states and CPU clock frequency is given in Table 14 and
Table 5.

Note:

- when VOS[1:0] = '0x01', the maximum value of fHCLK is 144 MHz.
- when VOS[1:0] = '0x10', the maximum value of fHCLK is 168 MHz. It can be extended to
180 MHz by activating the over-drive mode.
- when VOS[1:0] = '0x11, the maximum value of fHCLK is 180 MHz. It can be extended to
216 MHz by activating the over-drive mode.
- The over-drive mode is not available when VDD ranges from 1.8 to 2.1 V.
Refer to Section 4.1.4: Voltage regulator for details on how to activate the over-drive mode.

Level 2: debug/chip read disabled
The read protection Level 2 is activated by writing 0xCC to the RDP option byte. When
the read protection Level 2 is set:
–

All protections provided by Level 1 are active.

–

Booting from RAM is no more allowed.

–

Booting system memory bootloader is possible and all the commands are not
accessible except Get, GetID and GetVersion. Refer to AN2606.

–

JTAG, SWV (serial-wire viewer), ETM, and boundary scan are disabled.

–

User option bytes can no longer be changed.

–

When booting from Flash memory, accesses (read, erase and program) to Flash
memory and backup SRAM from user code are allowed.

Memory read protection Level 2 is an irreversible operation. When Level 2 is activated,
the level of protection cannot be decreased to Level 0 or Level 1.
Note:

The JTAG port is permanently disabled when Level 2 is active (acting as a JTAG fuse). As a
consequence, boundary scan cannot be performed. STMicroelectronics is not able to
perform analysis on defective parts on which the Level 2 protection has been set.

Note:

If the read protection is set while the debugger is still connected through JTAG/SWD, apply
a POR (power-on reset).

Write protections
Up to 8 user sectors in Flash memory can be protected against unwanted write operations
due to loss of program counter contexts. When the non-write protection nWRPi bit (0 ≤ i ≤ 7)
in the FLASH_OPTCR or FLASH_OPTCR1 registers is low, the corresponding sector
cannot be erased or programmed. Consequently, a mass erase cannot be performed if one
of the sectors is write-protected.

RM0385 Rev 8

89/1724
98

Embedded Flash memory (FLASH)

RM0385

If an erase/program operation to a write-protected part of the Flash memory is attempted
(sector protected by write protection bit, OTP part locked or part of the Flash memory that
can never be written like the ICP), the write protection error flag (WRPERR) is set in the
FLASH_SR register.
Note:

When the memory read protection level is selected (RDP level = 1), it is not possible to
program or erase Flash memory sector i if the CPU debug features are connected (JTAG or
single wire) or boot code is being executed from RAM, even if nWRPi = 1.

Write protection error flag
If an erase/program operation to a write protected area of the Flash memory is performed,
the Write Protection Error flag (WRPERR) is set in the FLASH_SR register.
If an erase operation is requested, the WRPERR bit is set when:
•

A sector erase is requested and the Sector Number SNB field is not valid

•

A mass erase is requested while at least one of the user sector is write protected by
option bit (MER and nWRi = 0 with 0 ≤ i ≤ 7 bits in the FLASH_OPTCR register

•

A sector erase is requested on a write protected sector. (SER = 1, SNB = i and
nWRPi = 0 with 0 ≤ i ≤ 7 bits in the FLASH_OPTCR register)

•

The Flash memory is readout protected and an intrusion is detected.

If a program operation is requested, the WRPERR bit is set when:

3.6

•

A write operation is performed on system memory or on the reserved part of the user
specific sector.

•

A write operation is performed to the information block

•

A write operation is performed on a sector write protected by option bit.

•

A write operation is requested on an OTP area which is already locked

•

The Flash memory is read protected and an intrusion is detected.

LOCKBi (0 ≤ i ≤ 15) to lock the corresponding OTP data block (blocks 0 to 15). Each OTP
data block can be programmed until the value 0x00 is programmed in the corresponding

Power supplies
The device requires a 1.8 to 3.6 V operating voltage supply (VDD). An embedded linear
voltage regulator is used to supply the internal 1.2 V digital power.
The real-time clock (RTC), the RTC backup registers, and the backup SRAM (BKP SRAM)
can be powered from the VBAT voltage when the main VDD supply is powered off.

Note:

Depending on the operating power supply range, some peripheral may be used with limited
functionality and performance. For more details refer to section "General operating
conditions" in STM32F75xxx and STM32F74xxx datasheets.

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

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

•

An isolated supply ground connection is provided on pin VSSA.

To ensure a better accuracy of low voltage inputs, the user can connect a separate external
reference voltage ADC input on VREF. The voltage on VREF ranges from 1.8 V to VDDA.

Power controller (PWR)

Independent USB transceivers supply
The VDDUSB is an independent USB power supply for full speed transceivers (USB OTG FS
and USB OTG HS in FS mode). It can be connected either to VDD or an external
independent power supply (3.0 to 3.6V) for USB transceivers (refer Figure 6 and Figure 7).
For example, when the device is powered at 1.8V, an independent power supply 3.3V can
be connected to VDDUSB. When the VDDUSB is connected to a separated power supply, it is
independent from VDD or VDDA but it must be the last supply to be provided and the first to
disappear. The following conditions VDDUSB must be respected:
•

During power-on phase (VDD < VDD_MIN), VDDUSB should be always lower than VDD

•

During power-down phase (VDD < VDD_MIN), VDDUSB should be always lower than VDD

•

VDDUSB rising and falling time rate specifications must be respected

•

In operating mode phase, VDDUSB could be lower or higher than VDD:
–

If USB (USB OTG_HS/OTG_FS) is used, the associated GPIOs powered by
VDDUSB are operating between VDDUSB_MIN and VDDUSB_MAX.

–

The VDDUSB supplies both USB transceiver (USB OTG_HS and USB OTG_FS). If
only one USB transceiver is used in the application, the GPIOs associated to the
other USB transceiver are still supplied at by VDDUSB.

–

If USB (USB OTG_HS/OTG_FS) is not used, the associated GPIOs powered by
VDDUSB are operating between VDD_MIN and VDD_MAX.

Battery backup domain
Backup domain description
To retain the content of the RTC backup registers, backup SRAM, and supply the RTC when
VDD is turned off, VBAT pin can be connected to an optional standby voltage supplied by a
battery or by another source.
To allow the RTC to operate even when the main digital supply (VDD) is turned off, the VBAT
pin powers the following blocks:
•

The RTC

•

The LSE oscillator

•

The backup SRAM when the low-power backup regulator is enabled

•

PC13 to PC15 I/Os, plus PI8 I/O (when available)

The switch to the VBAT supply is controlled by the power-down reset embedded in the Reset
block.

Warning:

102/1724

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

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Power controller (PWR)
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 the VBAT pin to
VDD with a 100 nF external decoupling ceramic capacitor in parallel.
When the backup 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 and PI8 can be used as a GPIO pin (refer to Table 147: RTC pin PC13
configuration and Table 148: RTC pin PI8 configuration for more details about these
pins configuration)

Due to the fact that the switch only sinks a limited amount of current (3 mA), the use of
GPIOs PI8 and PC13 to PC15 are 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 backup 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 (TAMP1)

•

PI8 can be used as tamper pin (TAMP2)

Backup domain access
After reset, the backup domain (RTC registers, RTC backup register and backup SRAM) is
protected against possible unwanted write accesses. To enable access to the backup
domain, proceed as follows:
•

Access to the RTC and RTC backup registers

1.

Enable the power interface clock by setting the PWREN bits in the RCC_APB1ENR
register (see Section 5.3.13)

2.

Set the DBP bit in the PWR power control register (PWR_CR1) to enable access to the
backup domain

3.

Select the RTC clock source: see Section 5.2.8: RTC/AWU clock

4.

Enable the RTC clock by programming the RTCEN [15] bit in the RCC backup domain
control register (RCC_BDCR)

•

Access to the backup SRAM

1.

Enable the power interface clock by setting the PWREN bits in the RCC_APB1ENR
register (see Section 5.3.13)

2.

Set the DBP bit in the PWR power control register (PWR_CR1) to enable access to the
backup domain

3.

Enable the backup SRAM clock by setting BKPSRAMEN bit in the RCC AHB1
peripheral clock register (RCC_AHB1ENR).

RTC and RTC backup registers
The real-time clock (RTC) is an independent BCD timer/counter. The RTC provides a timeof-day clock/calendar, two programmable alarm interrupts, and a periodic programmable
wakeup flag with interrupt capability. The RTC contains 32 backup data registers (128 bytes)

RM0385 Rev 8

103/1724
131

Power controller (PWR)

RM0385

which are reset when a tamper detection event occurs. For more details refer to Section 29:
Real-time clock (RTC).

Backup SRAM
The backup domain includes 4 Kbytes of backup SRAM addressed in 32-bit, 16-bit or 8-bit
mode. Its content is retained even in Standby or VBAT mode when the low-power backup
regulator is enabled. It can be considered as an internal EEPROM when VBAT is always
present.
When the backup domain is supplied by VDD (analog switch connected to VDD), the backup
SRAM is powered from VDD which replaces the VBAT power supply to save battery life.
When the backup domain is supplied by VBAT (analog switch connected to VBAT because
VDD is not present), the backup SRAM is powered by a dedicated low-power regulator. This
regulator can be ON or OFF depending whether the application needs the backup SRAM
function in Standby and VBAT modes or not. The power-down of this regulator is controlled
by a dedicated bit, the BRE control bit of the PWR_CSR1 register (see Section 4.4.2: PWR
power control/status register (PWR_CSR1)).
The backup SRAM is not mass erased by an tamper event. It is read protected to prevent
confidential data, such as cryptographic private key, from being accessed. The backup
SRAM can be erased only through the Flash interface when a protection level change from
level 1 to level 0 is requested. Refer to the description of Read protection (RDP) option byte.

4.1.4

Voltage regulator
An embedded linear voltage regulator supplies all the digital circuitries except for the backup
domain and the Standby circuitry. The regulator output voltage is around 1.2 V.
This voltage regulator requires two external capacitors to be connected to two dedicated
pins, VCAP_1 and VCAP_2 available in all packages. Specific pins must be connected either to
VSS or VDD to activate or deactivate the voltage regulator. These pins depend on the
package.

104/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Power controller (PWR)
When activated by software, the voltage regulator is always enabled after Reset. It works in
three different modes depending on the application modes (Run, Stop, or Standby mode).
•

In Run mode, the main regulator supplies full power to the 1.2 V domain (core,
memories and digital peripherals). In this mode, the regulator output voltage (around
1.2 V) can be scaled by software to different voltage values (scale 1, scale 2, and scale
3 can be configured through VOS[1:0] bits of the PWR_CR1 register). The scale can
be modified only when the PLL is OFF and the HSI or HSE clock source is selected as
system clock source. The new value programmed is active only when the PLL is ON.
When the PLL is OFF, the voltage scale 3 is automatically selected.
The voltage scaling allows optimizing the power consumption when the device is
clocked below the maximum system frequency. After exit from Stop mode, the voltage
scale 3 is automatically selected.(see Section 4.4.1: PWR power control register
(PWR_CR1).
2 operating modes are available:

•

–

Normal mode: The CPU and core logic operate at maximum frequency at a given
voltage scaling (scale 1, scale 2 or scale 3)

–

Over-drive mode: This mode allows the CPU and the core logic to operate at a
higher frequency than the normal mode for the voltage scaling scale 1 and scale
2.

In Stop mode: the main regulator or low-power regulator supplies a low-power voltage
to the 1.2V domain, thus preserving the content of registers and internal SRAM.
The voltage regulator can be put either in main regulator mode (MR) or in low-power
mode (LPR). Both modes can be configured by software as follows:
–

–

•
Note:

Normal mode: the 1.2 V domain is preserved in nominal leakage mode. It is the
default mode when the main regulator (MR) or the low-power regulator (LPR) is
enabled.
Under-drive mode: the 1.2 V domain is preserved in reduced leakage mode. This
mode is only available with the main regulator or the low-power regulator mode
(see Table 12).

In Standby mode: the regulator is powered down. The content of the registers and
SRAM are lost except for the Standby circuitry and the backup domain.

Over-drive and under-drive mode are not available when the regulator is bypassed.
For more details, refer to the voltage regulator section in the datasheets.

Entering Over-drive mode
It is recommended to enter Over-drive mode when the application is not running critical
tasks and when the system clock source is either HSI or HSE. To optimize the configuration
time, enable the Over-drive mode during the PLL lock phase.
To enter Over-drive mode, follow the sequence below:

Note:

1.

Select HSI or HSE as system clock.

2.

Configure RCC_PLLCFGR register and set PLLON bit of RCC_CR register.

3.

Set ODEN bit of PWR_CR1 register to enable the Over-drive mode and wait for the
ODRDY flag to be set in the PWR_CSR1 register.

4.

Set the ODSW bit in the PWR_CR1 register to switch the voltage regulator from
Normal mode to Over-drive mode. The System will be stalled during the switch but the
PLL clock system will be still running during locking phase.

5.

Wait for the ODSWRDY flag in the PWR_CSR1 to be set.

6.

Select the required Flash latency as well as AHB and APB prescalers.

7.

Wait for PLL lock.

8.

Switch the system clock to the PLL.

9.

Enable the peripherals that are not generated by the System PLL (I2S clock, LCD-TFT
clock, SAI1 clock, USB_48MHz clock....).

The PLLI2S and PLLSAI can be configured at the same time as the system PLL.
During the Over-drive switch activation, no peripheral clocks should be enabled. The
peripheral clocks must be enabled once the Over-drive mode is activated.
Entering Stop mode disables the Over-drive mode, as well as the PLL. The application
software has to configure again the Over-drive mode and the PLL after exiting from Stop
mode.

Exiting from Over-drive mode
It is recommended to exit from Over-drive mode when the application is not running critical
tasks and when the system clock source is either HSI or HSE.There are two sequences that
allow exiting from over-drive mode:
•

By resetting simultaneously the ODEN and ODSW bits bit in the PWR_CR1 register
(sequence 1)

•

By resetting first the ODSW bit to switch the voltage regulator to Normal mode and then
resetting the ODEN bit to disable the Over-drive mode (sequence 2).

Example of sequence 1:

106/1724

1.

Select HSI or HSE as system clock source.

2.

Disable the peripheral clocks that are not generated by the System PLL (I2S clock,
LCD-TFT clock, SAI1 clock, USB_48MHz clock,....)

3.

Reset simultaneously the ODEN and the ODSW bits in the PWR_CR1 register to
switch back the voltage regulator to Normal mode and disable the Over-drive mode.

4.

Wait for the ODWRDY flag of PWR_CSR1 to be reset.

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Power controller (PWR)
Example of sequence 2:
1.

Select HSI or HSE as system clock source.

2.

Disable the peripheral clocks that are not generated by the System PLL (I2S clock,
LCD-TFT clock, SAI1 clock, USB_48MHz clock,....).

3.

Reset the ODSW bit in the PWR_CR1 register to switch back the voltage regulator to
Normal mode. The system clock is stalled during voltage switching.

4.

Wait for the ODWRDY flag of PWR_CSR1 to be reset.

5.

Reset the ODEN bit in the PWR_CR1 register to disable the Over-drive mode.

Note:

During step 3, the ODEN bit remains set and the Over-drive mode is still enabled but not
active (ODSW bit is reset). If the ODEN bit is reset instead, the Over-drive mode is disabled
and the voltage regulator is switched back to the initial voltage.

Power-on reset (POR)/power-down reset (PDR)
The device has an integrated POR/PDR circuitry that allows proper operation starting
from 1.8 V.
The device remains in Reset mode when VDD/VDDA is below a specified threshold,
VPOR/PDR, without the need for an external reset circuit. For more details concerning the
power on/power-down reset threshold, refer to the electrical characteristics of the
datasheet.

Brownout reset (BOR)
During power on, the Brownout reset (BOR) keeps the device under reset until the supply
voltage reaches the specified VBOR threshold.
VBOR is configured through device option bytes. By default, BOR is off. 3 programmable
VBOR threshold levels can be selected:

Note:

•

BOR Level 3 (VBOR3). Brownout threshold level 3.

•

BOR Level 2 (VBOR2). Brownout threshold level 2.

•

BOR Level 1 (VBOR1). Brownout threshold level 1.

For full details about BOR characteristics, refer to the "Electrical characteristics" section in
the device datasheet.
When the supply voltage (VDD) drops below the selected VBOR threshold, a device reset is
generated.
The BOR can be disabled by programming the device option bytes. In this case, the
power-on and power-down is then monitored by the POR/ PDR (see Section 4.2.1: Poweron reset (POR)/power-down reset (PDR)).
The BOR threshold hysteresis is ~100 mV (between the rising and the falling edge of the
supply voltage).

Programmable voltage detector (PVD)
The user 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 PWR power control register (PWR_CR1).
The PVD is enabled by setting the PVDE bit.
A PVDO flag is available, in the PWR power control/status register (PWR_CSR1), 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.

Low-power modes
By default, the microcontroller is in Run mode after a system or a power-on reset. In Run
mode the CPU is clocked by HCLK and the program code is executed. Several low-power
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 devices feature three low-power modes:
•

Sleep mode (Cortex®-M7 core stopped, peripherals kept running)

•

Stop mode (all clocks are stopped)

•

Standby mode (1.2 V domain powered off)

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

Slowing down the system clocks

•

Gating the clocks to the APBx and AHBx peripherals when they are unused.

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®-M7
System Control register is set on Return from ISR.

RM0385 Rev 8

109/1724
131

Power controller (PWR)

RM0385

Entering Low-power mode through WFI or WFE will be executed only if no interrupt is
pending or no event is pending.

Exiting low-power mode
The MCU exits from Sleep and Stop modes low-power mode depending on the way the lowpower 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 lowpower mode as soon as an event occurs. The wakeup event can be generated either
by:
–

NVIC IRQ interrupt:
When SEVONPEND = 0 in the Cortex®-M7 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®-M7 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
This is done by 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.

The MCU exits from Standby 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 284: RTC block diagram).
After waking up from Standby mode, program execution restarts in the same way as after a
Reset (boot pin sampling, option bytes loading, reset vector is fetched, etc.).
Only enabled NVIC interrupts with sufficient priority will wakeup and interrupt the MCU.

2. Some peripherals with wakeup from Stop capability can request HSI to be enabled. In this case, HSI is
woken up by the peripheral, and only feeds the peripheral which requested it. HSI is automatically put off
when the peripheral does not need it anymore.

4.3.1

Debug mode
By default, the debug connection is lost when the devices enters in Stop or Standby mode
while the debug features are used. This is due to the fact that the Cortex®-M7 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 40.16.1: Debug support for low-power modes.

4.3.2

Run mode
Slowing down system clocks
In Run mode the speed of the system clocks (SYSCLK, HCLK, PCLK1, PCLK2) can be
reduced by programming the prescaler registers. These prescalers can also be used to slow
down peripherals before entering Sleep mode.
For more details refer to Section 5.3.3: RCC clock configuration register (RCC_CFGR).

Peripheral clock gating
In Run mode, the HCLKx and PCLKx for individual peripherals and memories can be
stopped at any time to reduce power consumption.
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 AHB1 peripheral clock enable register
(RCC_AHB1ENR), AHB2 peripheral clock enable register (RCC_AHB2ENR), AHB3
peripheral clock enable register (RCC_AHB3ENR) (see Section 5.3.10: RCC AHB1
peripheral clock register (RCC_AHB1ENR), Section 5.3.11: RCC AHB2 peripheral clock
enable register (RCC_AHB2ENR), and Section 5.3.12: RCC AHB3 peripheral clock enable
register (RCC_AHB3ENR).
Disabling the peripherals clocks in Sleep mode can be performed automatically by resetting
the corresponding bit in RCC_AHBxLPENR and RCC_APBxLPENR registers.

4.3.3

Low-power mode
Entering low-power mode
Low-power modes are entered by the MCU executing the WFI (Wait For Interrupt), or WFE
(Wait For Event) instructions, or when the SLEEPONEXIT bit in the Cortex®-M7 System
Control register is set on Return from ISR.

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Exiting low-power mode
From Sleep and Stop modes the MCU exits low-power mode depending on the way the
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 was used to enter the low-power mode, the MCU exits the mode
as soon as an event occurs. The wakeup event can by generated either by:
–

NVIC IRQ interrupt
- When SEVEONPEND=0 in the Cortex®-M7 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 SEVEONPEND=1 in the Cortex®-M7 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 exits 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 (see
Figure 284: RTC block diagram).

4.3.4

Sleep mode
I/O states in Sleep mode
In Sleep mode, all I/O pins keep the same state as in Run mode.
Entering Sleep mode
The Sleep mode is entered by executing the WFI (Wait For Interrupt) or WFE (Wait for
Event) instructions. Two options are available to select the Sleep mode entry mechanism,
depending on the SLEEPONEXIT bit in the Cortex®-M7 System Control register:
•

Sleep-now: if the SLEEPONEXIT bit is cleared, the MCU enters Sleep mode as soon
as WFI or WFE instruction is executed.

•

Sleep-on-exit: if the SLEEPONEXIT bit is set, the MCU enters Sleep mode as soon as
it exits the lowest priority ISR.

Refer to Table 15 and Table 16 for details on how to enter Sleep mode.

114/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Power controller (PWR)

Exiting Sleep mode
If the WFI instruction is used to enter Sleep mode, any peripheral interrupt acknowledged by
the nested vectored interrupt controller (NVIC) can wake up the device from Sleep mode.
If the WFE instruction is used to enter Sleep mode, the MCU exits Sleep mode as soon as
an event occurs. The wakeup event can be generated either by:
•

Enabling an interrupt in the peripheral control register but not in the NVIC, and enabling
the SEVONPEND bit in the Cortex®-M7 System Control register. When the MCU
resumes from WFE, the peripheral interrupt pending bit and the peripheral NVIC IRQ
channel pending bit (in the NVIC interrupt clear pending register) have to be cleared.

•

Or 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.

This mode offers the lowest wakeup time as no time is wasted in interrupt entry/exit.
Refer to Table 15 and Table 16 for more details on how to exit Sleep mode.

Stop mode
The Stop mode is based on the Cortex®-M7 deepsleep mode combined with peripheral
clock gating. The voltage regulator can be configured either in normal or low-power mode.
In Stop mode, all clocks in the 1.2 V domain are stopped, the PLLs, the HSI and the HSE
RC oscillators are disabled. Internal SRAM and register contents are preserved.
In Stop mode, the power consumption can be further reduced by using additional settings in
the PWR_CR1 register. However this will induce an additional startup delay when waking up
from Stop mode (see Table 17).

I/O states in Stop mode
In stop mode, all I/Os pins keep the same state as in the run mode

Entering Stop mode
The Stop mode is entered according to Entering low-power mode, when the SLEEPDEEP
bit in Cortex®-M7 System Control register is set.
Refer to Table 18 for details on how to enter the Stop mode.
When the microcontroller enters in Stop mode, the voltage scale 3 is automatically selected.
To further reduce power consumption in Stop mode, the internal voltage regulator can be put
in low-power or low voltage mode. This is configured by the LPDS, MRUDS, LPUDS and
UDEN bits of the PWR power control register (PWR_CR1).
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.
If the Over-drive mode was enabled before entering Stop mode, it is automatically disabled
during when the Stop mode is activated.
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 27.3 in Section 27: Independent watchdog (IWDG).

•

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

•

Internal RC oscillator (LSI RC): this is configured by the LSION bit in the RCC clock
control & status register (RCC_CSR).

•

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

The 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:

Before entering Stop mode, it is recommended to enable the clock security system (CSS)
feature to prevent external oscillator (HSE) failure from impacting the internal MCU
behavior.

Exiting Stop mode
Refer to Table 18 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.
If the Under-drive mode was enabled, it is automatically disabled after exiting Stop mode.
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.
When the voltage regulator operates in Under-drive mode, an additional startup delay is
induced when waking up from Stop mode.

Standby mode
The Standby mode allows to achieve the lowest power consumption. It is based on the
Cortex®-M7 deepsleep mode, with the voltage regulator disabled. The 1.2 V domain is
consequently powered off. The PLLs, the HSI oscillator and the HSE oscillator are also
switched off. SRAM and register contents are lost except for registers in the backup domain
(RTC registers, RTC backup register and backup SRAM), and Standby circuitry (see
Figure 5).

Entering Standby mode
The Standby mode is entered according to Entering low-power mode, when the
SLEEPDEEP bit in the Cortex®-M7 System Control register is set.
Refer to Table 19 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 27.3 in Section 27: Independent watchdog (IWDG).

register (RCC_CSR).

•

External 32.768 kHz oscillator (LSE OSC): this is configured by the LSEON bit in the

After waking up from Standby mode, program execution restarts in the same way as after a
Reset (boot pin sampling, vector reset is fetched, etc.). The SBF status flag in the PWR
power control/status register (PWR_CSR1) indicates that the MCU was in Standby mode.

Programming the RTC alternate functions to wake up the device from
the Stop and Standby modes
The MCU can be woken up from a low-power mode by an RTC alternate function.
The RTC alternate functions are the RTC alarms (Alarm A and Alarm B), RTC wakeup, RTC
tamper event detection and RTC time stamp event detection.
These RTC alternate functions can wake up the system from the Stop and Standby lowpower modes.

120/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Power controller (PWR)
The system can also wake up from low-power modes without depending on an external
interrupt (Auto-wakeup mode), by using the RTC alarm or the RTC wakeup events.
The RTC provides a programmable time base for waking up from the Stop or Standby mode
at regular intervals.
For this purpose, two of the three alternate RTC clock sources can be selected by
programming the RTCSEL[1:0] bits in the RCC backup domain control register
(RCC_BDCR):
•

Low-power 32.768 kHz external crystal oscillator (LSE OSC)
This clock source provides a precise time base with a very low-power consumption
(additional consumption of less than 1 µA under 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 use minimum power.

Reset and clock control (RCC)

5.1

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

5.1.1

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 Backup domain (see Figure 12).
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 end of count condition (WWDG reset)

3.

Independent watchdog end of count condition (IWDG reset)

4.

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

5.

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

Software reset
The reset source can be identified by checking the reset flags in the RCC clock control &
status register (RCC_CSR).
The SYSRESETREQ bit in Cortex®-M7 Application Interrupt and Reset Control Register
must be set to force a software reset on the device. Refer to the Cortex®-M7 technical
reference manual for more details.

Low-power management reset
There are two ways of generating a low-power management reset:
1.

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

2.

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

5.1.2

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

Power-on/power-down reset (POR/PDR reset) or brownout (BOR) reset

2.

When exiting the Standby mode

A power reset sets all registers to their reset values except the Backup domain (see
Figure 12)
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.

132/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Reset and clock control (RCC)
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.

DLF

The Backup domain has two specific resets that affect only the Backup domain (see
Figure 12).

5.1.3

Backup domain reset
The backup domain reset sets all RTC registers and the RCC_BDCR register to their reset
values. The BKPSRAM is not affected by this reset. The only way of resetting the
BKPSRAM is through the Flash interface by requesting a protection level change from 1 to
0.
A backup domain reset is generated when one of the following events occurs:

5.2

1.

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

2.

VDD or VBAT power on, if both supplies have previously been powered off.

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

HSI oscillator clock

•

HSE oscillator clock

•

Main PLL (PLL) clock

The devices have the two following secondary clock sources:
•

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

•

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

Each clock source can be switched on or off independently when it is not used, to optimize
power consumption.

Reset and clock control (RCC)
The clock controller provides a high degree of flexibility to the application in the choice of the
external crystal or the oscillator to run the core and peripherals at the highest frequency

•

•

•

•

The 48MHz clock, used for USB OTG FS, SDMMC and RNG. This clock is derived
from one of the following sources:
–

main PLL VCO (PLLQ Clock)

–

PLLSAI VCO (PLLSAI clock)

The U(S)ARTs clocks which are derived from one of the following sources:
–

System clock (SYSCLK)

–

HSI clock

–

LSE clock

–

U(S)ART)

The I2Cs clocks which are derived from one of the following sources:
–

System clock (SYSCLK)

–

HSI clock

–

APB1 clock (PCLK1)

I2S clock
To achieve high-quality audio performance, the I2S clock can be derived either from a
specific PLL (PLLI2S) or from an external clock mapped on the I2S_CKIN pin. For
more information about I2S clock frequency and precision, refer to Section 32.7.5:
Clock generator.

•

•

The SAI1 and SAI2 clocks which are derived from one of the following sources:
–

PLLSAI VCO (PLLSAIQ)

–

PLLI2S VCO ( PLLI2SQ)

–

External clock mapped on the I2S_CKIN pin.

LTDC clock
The LTDC clock is generated from a specific PLL (PLLSAI).

•

The low-power timer (LPTIM1) clock which is derived from one of the following
sources:
–

LSI clock

–

LSE clock

–

HSI clock

–

APB1 clock (PCLK1)

–

External clock mapped on LPTIM1_IN1

•

The USB OTG HS (60 MHz) clock which is provided from the external PHY

•

The Ethernet MAC clocks (TX, RX and RMII) which are provided from the external
PHY. For further information on the Ethernet configuration, refer to Section 38.4.4:
MII/RMII selection in the Ethernet peripheral description. When the Ethernet is used,
the AHB clock frequency must be at least 25 MHz.

•

•

The HDMI-CEC clock which is derived from one of the following sources:
–

The RTC clock which is derived from one of the following sources:
–

LSE clock

–

LSI clock

–

HSE clock divided by 32

•

The IWDG clock which is always the LSI clock.

•

The timer clock frequencies are automatically set by hardware. There are two cases
depending on the value of TIMPRE bit in RCC_CFGR register:
–

If TIMPRE bit in RCC_DCKCFGR1 register is reset:
If the APB prescaler is configured to a division factor of 1, the timer clock
frequencies (TIMxCLK) are set to PCLKx. Otherwise, the timer clock frequencies
are twice the frequency of the APB domain to which the timers are connected:
TIMxCLK = 2xPCLKx.

–

If TIMPRE bit in RCC_DCKCFGR1 register is set:
If the APB prescaler is configured to a division factor of 1, 2 or 4, the timer clock
frequencies (TIMxCLK) are set to HCLK. Otherwise, the timer clock frequencies is
four times the frequency of the APB domain to which the timers are connected:
TIMxCLK = 4xPCLKx.

The RCC feeds the external clock of the Cortex System Timer (SysTick) with the AHB clock
(HCLK) divided by 8. The SysTick can work either with this clock or with the Cortex clock
(HCLK), configurable in the SysTick control and status register.
FCLK acts as Cortex®-M7 free-running clock. For more details, refer to the Cortex®-M7
technical reference manual.

5.2.1

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

HSE external crystal/ceramic resonator

•

HSE external user 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 source (HSE bypass)
In this mode, an external clock source must be provided. This mode is selected by setting
the HSEBYP and HSEON bits in the RCC clock control register (RCC_CR). The external
clock signal (square, sinus or triangle) with ~50% duty cycle has to drive the OSC_IN pin
while the OSC_OUT pin should be left HI-Z. See Figure 14.

External crystal/ceramic resonator (HSE crystal)
The HSE has the advantage of producing a very accurate rate on the main clock.
The associated hardware configuration is shown in Figure 14. Refer to the electrical
characteristics section of the datasheet for more details.
The HSERDY flag in the RCC clock control register (RCC_CR) indicates if the high-speed
external oscillator is stable or not. At startup, the clock is not released until this bit is set by
hardware. An interrupt can be generated if enabled in the RCC clock interrupt register
(RCC_CIR).
The HSE Crystal can be switched on and off using the HSEON bit in the RCC clock control
register (RCC_CR).

5.2.2

HSI clock
The HSI clock signal is generated from an internal 16 MHz RC oscillator and can be used
directly as a system clock, or 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
RM0385 Rev 8

Reset and clock control (RCC)

RM0385

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 RCC clock
control register (RCC_CR).
If the application is subject to voltage or temperature variations this may affect the RC
oscillator speed. The HSI frequency can be trimmed in the application using the
HSITRIM[4:0] bits in the RCC clock control register (RCC_CR).
The HSIRDY flag in the RCC 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 RCC 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 5.2.7: Clock security system (CSS) on page 139.

5.2.3

PLL
The devices feature three PLLs:
•

A main PLL (PLL) clocked by the HSE or HSI oscillator and featuring two different
output clocks:
–

The first output is used to generate the high speed system clock (up to 216 MHz)

–

The second output is used to generate 48MHz clock for the USB OTG FS,
SDMMC and RNG.

•

PLLI2S is used to generate an accurate clock to achieve high-quality audio
performance on the I2S, SAIs and SPDIFRX interfaces.

•

PLLSAI is used to generate clock for SAIs intefraces, LCD-TFT clock and the 48MHz
(PLLSAI48CLK) that can be seleced for the USB OTG FS, SDMMC and RNG.

Since the main-PLL configuration parameters cannot be changed once PLL is enabled, it is
recommended to configure PLL before enabling it (selection of the HSI or HSE oscillator as
PLL clock source, and configuration of division factors M, N, P, and Q).
The PLLI2S and PLLSAI use the same input clock as PLL (PLLM[5:0] and PLLSRC bits are
common to both PLLs). However, the PLLI2S and PLLSAI have dedicated enable/disable
and division factors (N and R) configuration bits. Once the PLLI2S and PLLSAI are enabled,
the configuration parameters cannot be changed.
The three PLLs are disabled by hardware when entering Stop and Standby modes, or when
an HSE failure occurs when HSE or PLL (clocked by HSE) are used as system clock. RCC
PLL configuration register (RCC_PLLCFGR),RCC clock configuration register
(RCC_CFGR), and RCC dedicated clocks configuration register (RCC_DCKCFGR1) can be
used to configure PLL, PLLI2S, and PLLSAI.

5.2.4

Reset and clock control (RCC)

LSE clock
The LSE clock is generated from a 32.768 kHz low-speed external crystal or ceramic
resonator. It has the advantage providing a low-power but highly accurate clock source to
the real-time clock peripheral (RTC) for clock/calendar or other timing functions.
The LSE oscillator is switched on and off using the LSEON bit in RCC backup domain
control register (RCC_BDCR).
The LSERDY flag in the RCC backup domain control register (RCC_BDCR) indicates if 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 RCC clock
interrupt register (RCC_CIR).

External source (LSE bypass)
In this mode, an external clock source must be provided. It must have a frequency up to
1 MHz. This mode is selected by setting the LSEBYP and LSEON bits in the RCC backup
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 should be
left HI-Z. See Figure 14.

The LSI RC acts as an low-power clock source that can be kept running in Stop and
Standby mode for the independent watchdog (IWDG) and Auto-wakeup unit (AWU). The
clock frequency is around 32 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 RCC clock control &
status register (RCC_CSR).
The LSIRDY flag in the RCC clock control & status register (RCC_CSR) indicates if the lowspeed internal 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 RCC clock interrupt register
(RCC_CIR).

5.2.6

System clock (SYSCLK) selection
After a system reset, the HSI oscillator is selected as the system clock. When a clock source
is used directly or through PLL as the 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 that is not yet ready is
selected, the switch occurs when the clock source is ready. Status bits in the RCC clock
control register (RCC_CR) indicate which clock(s) is (are) ready and which clock is currently
used as the system clock.

5.2.7

Clock security system (CSS)
The 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, this oscillator is automatically disabled, a clock
failure event is sent to the break inputs of advanced-control timers TIM1 and TIM8, 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®-M7 NMI (non-maskable interrupt) exception vector.
Note:

When the CSS is enabled, if the HSE clock happens to fail, the CSS generates an interrupt,
which causes the automatic generation of an NMI. The NMI is executed indefinitely unless
the CSS interrupt pending bit is cleared. As a consequence, the application has to clear the
CSS interrupt in the NMI ISR 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 meaning that
it is directly used as PLL input clock, and that PLL clock is the system clock) and a failure is
detected, then the system clock switches to the HSI oscillator and the HSE oscillator is
disabled.
If the HSE oscillator clock was the clock source of PLL used as the system clock when the
failure occurred, PLL is also disabled. In this case, if the PLLI2S or PLLSAI was enabled, it
is also disabled when the HSE fails.

5.2.8

RTC/AWU clock
Once the RTCCLK clock source has been selected, the only possible way of modifying the
selection is to reset the power domain.
The RTCCLK clock source can be either the HSE 1 MHz (HSE divided by a programmable
prescaler), the LSE or the LSI clock. This is selected by programming the RTCSEL[1:0] bits
in the RCC backup domain control register (RCC_BDCR) and the RTCPRE[4:0] bits in RCC
clock configuration register (RCC_CFGR). This selection cannot be modified without
resetting the Backup domain.
If the LSE is selected as the RTC clock, the RTC will work normally if the backup or the
system supply disappears. If the LSI is selected as the AWU clock, the AWU state is not
guaranteed if the system supply disappears. If the HSE oscillator divided by a value
between 2 and 31 is used as the RTC clock, the RTC state is not guaranteed if the backup
or the system supply disappears.
The LSE clock is in the Backup domain, whereas the HSE and LSI clocks are not. As a
consequence:
•

•

If LSE is selected as the RTC clock:
–

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

–

The RTC remains clocked and functional under system reset.

If LSI is selected as the Auto-wakeup unit (AWU) clock:
–

•

If the HSE clock is used as the RTC clock:
–

Note:

140/1724

The AWU state is not guaranteed if the VDD supply is powered off. Refer to
Section 5.2.5: LSI clock on page 139 for more details on LSI calibration.
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 1.2 V domain) and also
when entering in Stop mode

To read the RTC calendar register when the APB1 clock frequency is less than seven times
the RTC clock frequency (fAPB1 < 7xfRTCLCK), the software must read the calendar time and
date registers twice. The data are correct if the second read access to RTC_TR gives the
same result than the first one. Otherwise a third read access must be performed.

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.

Clock-out capability
Two microcontroller clock output (MCO) pins are available:
•

MCO1
The user can output four different clock sources onto the MCO1 pin (PA8) using the
configurable prescaler (from 1 to 5):
–

HSI clock

–

LSE clock

–

HSE clock

–

PLL clock

The desired clock source is selected using the MCO1PRE[2:0] and MCO1[1:0] bits in
the RCC clock configuration register (RCC_CFGR).
•

MCO2
The user can output four different clock sources onto the MCO2 pin (PC9) using the
configurable prescaler (from 1 to 5):
–

HSE clock

–

PLL clock

–

System clock (SYSCLK)

–

PLLI2S clock

The desired clock source is selected using the MCO2PRE[2:0] and MCO2 bits in the
RCC clock configuration register (RCC_CFGR).
For the different MCO pins, the corresponding GPIO port has to be programmed in alternate
function mode.

5.2.11

Internal/external clock measurement using TIM5/TIM11
It is possible to indirectly measure the frequencies of all on-board clock source generators
by means of the input capture of TIM5 channel4 and TIM11 channel1 as shown in Figure 15
and Figure 16.

Internal/external clock measurement using TIM5 channel4
TIM5 has an input multiplexer which allows choosing whether the input capture is triggered
by the I/O or by an internal clock. This selection is performed through the TI4_RMP [1:0] bits
in the TIM5_OR register.
The primary purpose of having the LSE connected to the channel4 input capture is to be
able to precisely measure the HSI (this requires to have the HSI used as the system clock
source). The number of HSI clock counts between consecutive edges of the LSE signal
provides a measurement of the internal clock period. Taking advantage of the high precision
of LSE crystals (typically a few tens of ppm) we can 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.

RM0385

The HSI oscillator has dedicated, user-accessible calibration bits for this purpose.
The basic concept consists in providing a relative measurement (e.g. HSI/LSE ratio): the
precision is therefore tightly linked to the ratio between the two clock sources. The greater
the ratio, the better the measurement.
It is also possible to measure the LSI frequency: this is useful for applications that do not
have a crystal. The ultra-low-power LSI oscillator has a large manufacturing process
deviation: by measuring it versus the HSI clock source, it is possible to determine its
frequency with the precision of the HSI. The measured value can be used to have more
accurate RTC time base timeouts (when LSI is used as the RTC clock source) and/or an
IWDG timeout with an acceptable accuracy.
Use the following procedure to measure the LSI frequency:
1.

Enable the TIM5 timer and configure channel4 in Input capture mode.

2.

This bit is set the TI4_RMP bits in the TIM5_OR register to 0x01 to connect the LSI
clock internally to TIM5 channel4 input capture for calibration purposes.

3.

Measure the LSI clock frequency using the TIM5 capture/compare 4 event or interrupt.

4.

Use the measured LSI frequency to update the prescaler of the RTC depending on the
desired time base and/or to compute the IWDG timeout.

Internal/external clock measurement using TIM11 channel1
TIM11 has an input multiplexer which allows choosing whether the input capture is triggered
by the I/O or by an internal clock. This selection is performed through TI1_RMP [1:0] bits in
the TIM11_OR register. The HSE_RTC clock (HSE divided by a programmable prescaler) is
connected to channel 1 input capture to have a rough indication of the external crystal
frequency. This requires that the HSI is the system clock source. This can be useful for
instance to ensure compliance with the IEC 60730/IEC 61335 standards which require to be
able to determine harmonic or subharmonic frequencies (–50/+100% deviations).

Peripheral clock enable register (RCC_AHBxENR,
RCC_APBxENRy)
Each peripheral clock can be enabled by the xxxxEN bit of the RCC_AHBxENR or
RCC_APBxENRy registers.
When the peripheral clock is not active, the peripheral registers read or write accesses are
not supported.The peripheral enable bit has a synchronization mechanism to create a glitch
free clock for the peripheral.
After the enable bit is set, there is a 2 peripheral clock cycles delay before the clock being
active.

Caution:

Just after enabling the clock for a peripheral, software must wait for a 2 peripheral clock
cycles delay before accessing the peripheral registers.

RCC backup domain control register (RCC_BDCR)
Address offset: 0x70
Reset value: 0x0000 0000, reset by Backup 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.
The LSEON, LSEBYP, LSEDRV[1:0], RTCSEL and RTCEN bits in the RCC backup domain
control register (RCC_BDCR) are in the Backup domain. As a result, after Reset, these bits
are write-protected and the DBP bit in the PWR power control register (PWR_CR1) has to
be set before these can be modified. Refer to Section 5.1.1: System reset on page 132 for
further information. These bits are only reset after a Backup domain Reset (see
Section 5.1.3: Backup domain reset). Any internal or external Reset will not have any effect
on these bits.

General-purpose I/Os (GPIO)

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) and a 32-bit set/reset register (GPIOx_BSRR). In addition
all GPIOs have a 32-bit locking register (GPIOx_LCKR) and two 32-bit alternate function
selection registers (GPIOx_AFRH and GPIOx_AFRL).

6.2

6.3

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 I/O port configurations

•

Analog function

•

Alternate function selection registers

•

Fast toggle capable of changing every two clock cycles

•

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
registers. In this way, there is no risk of an IRQ occurring between the read and the modify
access.

6.3.1

RM0385

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:
•

PA15: JTDI in pull-up

•

PA14: JTCK/SWCLK in pull-down

•

PA13: JTMS/SWDAT in pull-up

•

PB4: NJTRST in pull-up

•

PB3: JTDO in floating state

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.

6.3.2

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.

•

Cortex-M7 with FPU EVENTOUT is mapped on AF15

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:

202/1724

•

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

•

System function: MCOx pins have to be configured in alternate function mode.

•

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.

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

General-purpose I/Os (GPIO)
–
•

Additional functions:
–

•

Configure the desired I/O as an alternate function in the GPIOx_MODER register.
For the ADC and DAC, configure the desired I/O in analog mode in the
GPIOx_MODER register and configure the required function in the ADC and DAC
registers. For the additional functions like RTC_OUT, RTC_TS, RTC_TAMPx,
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. For details about I/O control by the RTC, refer to
Section 29.3: RTC functional description on page 915.

EVENTOUT
–

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

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

6.3.3

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.

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 6.4.5: GPIO port input data register (GPIOx_IDR) (x = A to K) and
Section 6.4.6: GPIO port output data register (GPIOx_ODR) (x = A to K) for the register
descriptions.

6.3.5

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.

6.3.6

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
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 6.4.8: GPIO port configuration lock register
(GPIOx_LCKR) (x = A to K)) 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 refer to LCKR register description in Section 6.4.8: GPIO port configuration
lock register (GPIOx_LCKR) (x = A to K).

6.3.7

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.

6.3.8

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: Extended interrupts and events controller
(EXTI)Section 11.3: Wakeup event management.

•

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.

6.3.14

Using the GPIO pins in the backup supply domain
The PC13/PC14/PC15/PI8 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.

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).

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

System configuration controller (SYSCFG)
The system configuration controller is mainly used to:

7.1

•

Remap the memory areas

•

Select the Ethernet PHY interface

•

Manage the external interrupt line connection to the GPIOs.

I/O compensation cell
By default the I/O compensation cell is not used. However when the I/O output buffer speed
is configured in 50 MHz or 100 MHz mode, it is recommended to use the compensation cell
for slew rate control on I/O tf(IO)out)/tr(IO)out commutation to reduce the I/O noise on power
supply.
When the compensation cell is enabled, a READY flag is set to indicate that the
compensation cell is ready and can be used. The I/O compensation cell can be used only
when the supply voltage ranges from 2.4 to 3.6 V.

7.2

SYSCFG registers

7.2.1

SYSCFG memory remap register (SYSCFG_MEMRMP)
This register is used for specific configurations on memory mapping:
•

1bit is used to indicate which option bytes BOOT_ADD0 or BOOT_ADD1 defines the
boot memory base address.

•

Other bits are used to swap FMC SDRAM Banks with FMC NOR/PSRAM bank

Direct memory access controller (DMA)

8.1

DMA introduction
Direct memory access (DMA) is used in order to provide high-speed data transfer between
peripherals and memory and between memory and memory. Data can be quickly moved by
DMA without any CPU action. This keeps CPU resources free for other operations.
The DMA controller combines a powerful dual AHB master bus architecture with
independent FIFO to optimize the bandwidth of the system, based on a complex bus matrix
architecture.
The two DMA controllers (DMA1 and DMA2) have 16 streams in total (8 for each controller),
each dedicated to managing memory access requests from one or more peripherals.
Each stream can have up to 8 channels (requests) in total.
Each DMA controller has an arbiter for handling the priority between DMA requests.

8.2

DMA main features
The main DMA features are:
•

Dual AHB master bus architecture, one dedicated to memory accesses and one
dedicated to peripheral accesses

•

AHB slave programming interface supporting only 32-bit accesses

•

8 streams for each DMA controller, up to 8 channels (requests) per stream

•

Four-word depth 32 first-in, first-out memory buffers (FIFOs) per stream, that can be
used in FIFO mode or direct mode:

•

222/1724

–

FIFO mode: with threshold level software selectable between 1/4, 1/2 or 3/4 of the
FIFO size

–

Direct mode: each DMA request immediately initiates a transfer from/to the
memory. When it is configured in direct mode (FIFO disabled), to transfer data in
memory-to-peripheral mode, the DMA preloads only one data from the memory to
the internal FIFO to ensure an immediate data transfer as soon as a DMA request
is triggered by a peripheral.

Each stream can be configured to be:
–

a regular channel that supports peripheral-to-memory, memory-to-peripheral and
memory-to-memory transfers

–

a double buffer channel that also supports double buffering on the memory side

•

Priorities between DMA stream requests are software-programmable (4 levels
consisting of very high, high, medium, low) or hardware in case of equality (for
example, request 0 has priority over request 1)

•

Each stream also supports software trigger for memory-to-memory transfers (only
available for the DMA2 controller)

•

Each stream request can be selected among up to 8 possible channel requests. This
selection is software-configurable and allows several peripherals to initiate DMA
requests

•

The number of data items to be transferred can be managed either by the DMA
controller or by the peripheral:

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Direct memory access controller (DMA)
–

DMA flow controller: the number of data items to be transferred is softwareprogrammable from 1 to 65535

–

Peripheral flow controller: the number of data items to be transferred is unknown
and controlled by the source or the destination peripheral that signals the end of
the transfer by hardware

•

Independent source and destination transfer width (byte, half-word, word): when the
data widths of the source and destination are not equal, the DMA automatically
packs/unpacks the necessary transfers to optimize the bandwidth. This feature is only
available in FIFO mode

•

Incrementing or non-incrementing addressing for source and destination

•

Supports incremental burst transfers of 4, 8 or 16 beats. The size of the burst is
software-configurable, usually equal to half the FIFO size of the peripheral

•

Each stream supports circular buffer management

•

5 event flags (DMA half transfer, DMA transfer complete, DMA transfer error, DMA
FIFO error, direct mode error) logically ORed together in a single interrupt request for
each stream

8.3.2

DMA overview
The DMA controller performs direct memory transfer: as an AHB master, it can take the
control of the AHB bus matrix to initiate AHB transactions.
It carries out the following transactions:
•

peripheral-to-memory

•

memory-to-peripheral

•

memory-to-memory

The DMA controller provides two AHB master ports: the AHB memory port, intended to be
connected to memories and the AHB peripheral port, intended to be connected to
peripherals. However, to allow memory-to-memory transfers, the AHB peripheral port must
also have access to the memories.
The AHB slave port is used to program the DMA controller (it supports only 32-bit
accesses).

224/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385
Note:

Direct memory access controller (DMA)
The DMA1 controller AHB peripheral port is not connected to the bus matrix like in the case
of the DMA2 controller, thus only DMA2 streams are able to perform memory-to-memory
transfers.
See Figure 1 for the implementation of the system of two DMA controllers.

8.3.3

DMA transactions
A DMA transaction consists of a sequence of a given number of data transfers. The number
of data items to be transferred and their width (8-bit, 16-bit or 32-bit) are softwareprogrammable.
Each DMA transfer consists of three operations:
•

a loading from the peripheral data register or a location in memory, addressed through
the DMA_SxPAR or DMA_SxM0AR register

•

a storage of the data loaded to the peripheral data register or a location in memory
addressed through the DMA_SxPAR or DMA_SxM0AR register

•

a post-decrement of the DMA_SxNDTR register, containing the number of transactions
that still have to be performed

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 signal is sent to the peripheral by the
DMA controller. The peripheral releases its request as soon as it gets the Acknowledge
signal from the DMA controller. Once the request has been deasserted by the peripheral,
the DMA controller releases the Acknowledge signal. If there are more requests, the
peripheral can initiate the next transaction.

8.3.4

Channel selection
Each stream is associated with a DMA request that can be selected out of 816 possible
channel requests. The selection is controlled by the CHSEL[23:0] bits in the DMA_SxCR
register.

8.3.5

Direct memory access controller (DMA)

Arbiter
An arbiter manages the 8 DMA stream requests based on their priority for each of the two
AHB master ports (memory and peripheral ports) and launches the peripheral/memory
access sequences.
Priorities are managed in two stages:
•

•

8.3.6

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

Very high priority

–

High priority

–

Medium priority

–

Low priority

Hardware: If two requests have the same software priority level, the stream with the
lower number takes priority over the stream with the higher number. For example,
stream 2 takes priority over stream 4.

DMA streams
Each of the 8 DMA controller streams provides a unidirectional transfer link between a
source and a destination.
Each stream can be configured to perform:
•

Regular type transactions: memory-to-peripherals, peripherals-to-memory or memoryto-memory transfers

•

Double-buffer type transactions: double buffer transfers using two memory pointers for
the memory (while the DMA is reading/writing from/to a buffer, the application can
write/read to/from the other buffer).

The amount of data to be transferred (up to 65535) is programmable and related to the
source width of the peripheral that requests the DMA transfer connected to the peripheral
AHB port. The register that contains the amount of data items to be transferred is
decremented after each transaction.

8.3.7

Source, destination and transfer modes
Both source and destination transfers can address peripherals and memories in the entire
4 Gbytes area, at addresses comprised between 0x0000 0000 and 0xFFFF FFFF.
The direction is configured using the DIR[1:0] bits in the DMA_SxCR register and offers
three possibilities: memory-to-peripheral, peripheral-to-memory or memory-to-memory
transfers. Table 27 describes the corresponding source and destination addresses.

is a half-word or a word, respectively, the peripheral or memory address written into the
DMA_SxPAR or DMA_SxM0AR/M1AR registers has to be aligned on a word or half-word
address boundary, respectively.

Peripheral-to-memory mode
Figure 25 describes this mode.
When this mode is enabled (by setting the bit EN in the DMA_SxCR register), each time a
peripheral request occurs, the stream initiates a transfer from the source to fill the FIFO.
When the threshold level of the FIFO is reached, the contents of the FIFO are drained and
stored into the destination.
The transfer stops once the DMA_SxNDTR register reaches zero, when the peripheral
requests the end of transfers (in case of a peripheral flow controller) or when the EN bit in
the DMA_SxCR register is cleared by software.
In direct mode (when the DMDIS value in the DMA_SxFCR register is ‘0’), the threshold
level of the FIFO is not used: after each single data transfer from the peripheral to the FIFO,
the corresponding data are immediately drained and stored into the destination.
The stream has access to the AHB source or destination port only if the arbitration of the
corresponding stream is won. This arbitration is performed using the priority defined for
each stream using the PL[1:0] bits in the DMA_SxCR register.

Direct memory access controller (DMA)
Each time a peripheral request occurs, the contents of the FIFO are drained and stored into
the destination. When the level of the FIFO is lower than or equal to the predefined
threshold level, the FIFO is fully reloaded with data from the memory.
The transfer stops once the DMA_SxNDTR register reaches zero, when the peripheral
requests the end of transfers (in case of a peripheral flow controller) or when the EN bit in
the DMA_SxCR register is cleared by software.
In direct mode (when the DMDIS value in the DMA_SxFCR register is '0'), the threshold
level of the FIFO is not used. Once the stream is enabled, the DMA preloads the first data to
transfer into an internal FIFO. As soon as the peripheral requests a data transfer, the DMA
transfers the preloaded value into the configured destination. It then reloads again the
empty internal FIFO with the next data to be transfer. The preloaded data size corresponds
to the value of the PSIZE bitfield in the DMA_SxCR register.
The stream has access to the AHB source or destination port only if the arbitration of the
corresponding stream is won. This arbitration is performed using the priority defined for
each stream using the PL[1:0] bits in the DMA_SxCR register.

Memory-to-memory mode
The DMA channels can also work without being triggered by a request from a peripheral.
This is the memory-to-memory mode, described in Figure 27.
When the stream is enabled by setting the Enable bit (EN) in the DMA_SxCR register, the
stream immediately starts to fill the FIFO up to the threshold level. When the threshold level
is reached, the FIFO contents are drained and stored into the destination.

8.3.8

Pointer incrementation
Peripheral and memory pointers can optionally be automatically post-incremented or kept
constant after each transfer depending on the PINC and MINC bits in the DMA_SxCR
register.
Disabling the increment mode is useful when the peripheral source or destination data is
accessed through a single register.
If the increment mode is enabled, the address of the next transfer is the address of the
previous one incremented by 1 (for bytes), 2 (for half-words) or 4 (for words) depending on
the data width programmed in the PSIZE or MSIZE bits in the DMA_SxCR register.
In order to optimize the packing operation, it is possible to fix the increment offset size for
the peripheral address whatever the size of the data transferred on the AHB peripheral port.
The PINCOS bit in the DMA_SxCR register is used to align the increment offset size with
the data size on the peripheral AHB port, or on a 32-bit address (the address is then
incremented by 4). The PINCOS bit has an impact on the AHB peripheral port only.
If the PINCOS bit is set, the address of the following transfer is the address of the previous
one incremented by 4 (automatically aligned on a 32-bit address), whatever the PSIZE
value. The AHB memory port, however, is not impacted by this operation.

Direct memory access controller (DMA)

Circular mode
The 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_SxCR
register.
When the circular mode is activated, the number of data items to be transferred is
automatically reloaded with the initial value programmed during the stream configuration
phase, and the DMA requests continue to be served.

Note:

In the circular mode, it is mandatory to respect the following rule in case of a burst mode
configured for memory:
DMA_SxNDTR = Multiple of ((Mburst beat) × (Msize)/(Psize)), where:
–

(Mburst beat) = 4, 8 or 16 (depending on the MBURST bits in the DMA_SxCR
register)

–

((Msize)/(Psize)) = 1, 2, 4, 1/2 or 1/4 (Msize and Psize represent the MSIZE and
PSIZE bits in the DMA_SxCR register. They are byte dependent)

–

DMA_SxNDTR = Number of data items to transfer on the AHB peripheral port

For example: Mburst beat = 8 (INCR8), MSIZE = ‘00’ (byte) and PSIZE = ‘01’ (half-word), in
this case: DMA_SxNDTR must be a multiple of (8 × 1/2 = 4).
If this formula is not respected, the DMA behavior and data integrity are not guaranteed.
NDTR must also be a multiple of the Peripheral burst size multiplied by the peripheral data
size, otherwise this could result in a bad DMA behavior.

8.3.10

Double-buffer mode
This mode is available for all the DMA1 and DMA2 streams.
The double-buffer mode is enabled by setting the DBM bit in the DMA_SxCR register.
A double-buffer stream works as a regular (single buffer) stream with the difference that it
has two memory pointers. When the double-buffer mode is enabled, the circular mode is
automatically enabled (CIRC bit in DMA_SxCR is not relevant) and at each end of
transaction, the memory pointers are swapped.
In this mode, the DMA controller swaps from one memory target to another at each end of
transaction. This allows the software to process one memory area while the second memory
area is being filled/used by the DMA transfer. The double-buffer stream can work in both
directions (the memory can be either the source or the destination) as described in
Table 28: Source and destination address registers in double-buffer mode (DBM = 1).

Note:

In double-buffer mode, it is possible to update the base address for the AHB memory port
on-the-fly (DMA_SxM0AR or DMA_SxM1AR) when the stream is enabled, by respecting the
following conditions:

•

When the CT bit is ‘0’ in the DMA_SxCR register, the DMA_SxM1AR register can be
written. Attempting to write to this register while CT = '1' sets an error flag (TEIF) and
the stream is automatically disabled.

•

When the CT bit is ‘1’ in the DMA_SxCR register, the DMA_SxM0AR register can be
written. Attempting to write to this register while CT = '0', sets an error flag (TEIF) and
the stream is automatically disabled.

To avoid any error condition, it is advised to change the base address as soon as the TCIF
flag is asserted because, at this point, the targeted memory must have changed from

RM0385

memory 0 to 1 (or from 1 to 0) depending on the value of CT in the DMA_SxCR register in
accordance with one of the two above conditions.
For all the other modes (except the double-buffer mode), the memory address registers are
write-protected as soon as the stream is enabled.

8.3.11

Programmable data width, packing/unpacking, endianness
The number of data items to be transferred has to be programmed into DMA_SxNDTR
(number of data items to transfer bit, NDT) before enabling the stream (except when the
flow controller is the peripheral, PFCTRL bit in DMA_SxCR is set).
When using the internal FIFO, the data widths of the source and destination data are
programmable through the PSIZE and MSIZE bits in the DMA_SxCR register (can be 8-,
16- or 32-bit).
When PSIZE and MSIZE are not equal:
•

The data width of the number of data items to transfer, configured in the DMA_SxNDTR
register is equal to the width of the peripheral bus (configured by the PSIZE bits in the
DMA_SxCR register). For instance, in case of peripheral-to-memory, memory-toperipheral or memory-to-memory transfers and if the PSIZE[1:0] bits are configured for
half-word, the number of bytes to be transferred is equal to 2 × NDT.

•

The DMA controller only copes with little-endian addressing for both source and
destination. This is described in Table 29: Packing/unpacking and endian behavior (bit
PINC = MINC = 1).

This packing/unpacking procedure may present a risk of data corruption when the operation
is interrupted before the data are completely packed/unpacked. So, to ensure data
coherence, the stream may be configured to generate burst transfers: in this case, each
group of transfers belonging to a burst are indivisible (refer to Section 8.3.12: Single and
burst transfers).
In direct mode (DMDIS = 0 in the DMA_SxFCR register), the packing/unpacking of data is
not possible. In this case, it is not allowed to have different source and destination transfer
data widths: both are equal and defined by the PSIZE bits in the DMA_SxCR register.
MSIZE bits are not relevant.

the case of memory-to-memory transfer).
PSIZE, MSIZE and NDT[15:0] have to be configured so as to ensure that the last transfer
will not be incomplete. This can occur when the data width of the peripheral port (PSIZE
bits) is lower than the data width of the memory port (MSIZE bits). This constraint is
summarized in Table 30.

8.3.12

RM0385

Single and burst transfers
The DMA controller can generate single transfers or incremental burst transfers of 4, 8 or 16
beats.
The size of the burst is configured by software independently for the two AHB ports by using
the MBURST[1:0] and PBURST[1:0] bits in the DMA_SxCR register.
The burst size indicates the number of beats in the burst, not the number of bytes
transferred.
To ensure data coherence, each group of transfers that form a burst are indivisible: AHB
transfers are locked and the arbiter of the AHB bus matrix does not degrant the DMA master
during the sequence of the burst transfer.
Depending on the single or burst configuration, each DMA request initiates a different
number of transfers on the AHB peripheral port:
•

When the AHB peripheral port is configured for single transfers, each DMA request
generates a data transfer of a byte, half-word or word depending on the PSIZE[1:0] bits
in the DMA_SxCR register

•

When the AHB peripheral port is configured for burst transfers, each DMA request
generates 4,8 or 16 beats of byte, half word or word transfers depending on the
PBURST[1:0] and PSIZE[1:0] bits in the DMA_SxCR register.

The same as above has to be considered for the AHB memory port considering the
MBURST and MSIZE bits.
In direct mode, the stream can only generate single transfers and the MBURST[1:0] and
PBURST[1:0] bits are forced by hardware.
The address pointers (DMA_SxPAR or DMA_SxM0AR registers) must be chosen so as to
ensure that all transfers within a burst block are aligned on the address boundary equal to
the size of the transfer.
The burst configuration has to be selected in order to respect the AHB protocol, where
bursts must not cross the 1 Kbyte address boundary because the minimum address space
that can be allocated to a single slave is 1 Kbyte. This means that the 1 Kbyte address
boundary must not be crossed by a burst block transfer, otherwise an AHB error is
generated, that is not reported by the DMA registers.

8.3.13

FIFO
FIFO structure
The FIFO is used to temporarily store data coming from the source before transmitting them
to the destination.
Each stream has an independent 4-word FIFO and the threshold level is softwareconfigurable between 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 or full.
To enable the use of the FIFO threshold level, the direct mode must be disabled by setting
the DMDIS bit in the DMA_SxFCR register.
The structure of the FIFO differs depending on the source and destination data widths, and
is described in Figure 28: FIFO structure.

FIFO threshold and burst configuration
Caution is required when choosing the FIFO threshold (bits FTH[1:0] of the DMA_SxFCR
register) and the size of the memory burst (MBURST[1:0] of the DMA_SxCR register): The
content pointed by the FIFO threshold must exactly match an integer number of memory
burst transfers. If this is not in the case, a FIFO error (flag FEIFx of the DMA_HISR or
DMA_LISR register) is generated when the stream is enabled, then the stream is
automatically disabled. The allowed and forbidden configurations are described in Table 31.
The forbidden configurations are highlighted in gray in the table.

In all cases, the burst size multiplied by the data size must not exceed the FIFO size (data
size can be: 1 (byte), 2 (half-word) or 4 (word)).
Incomplete burst transfer at the end of a DMA transfer may happen if one of the following
conditions occurs:
•

For the AHB peripheral port configuration: the total number of data items (set in the
DMA_SxNDTR register) is not a multiple of the burst size multiplied by the data size.

•

For the AHB memory port configuration: the number of remaining data items in the
FIFO to be transferred to the memory is not a multiple of the burst size multiplied by the
data size.

In such cases, the remaining data to be transferred is managed in single mode by the DMA,
even if a burst transaction is requested during the DMA stream configuration.
Note:

When burst transfers are requested on the peripheral AHB port and the FIFO is used
(DMDIS = 1 in the DMA_SxCR register), it is mandatory to respect the following rule to
avoid permanent underrun or overrun conditions, depending on the DMA stream direction:
If (PBURST × PSIZE) = FIFO_SIZE (4 words), FIFO_Threshold = 3/4 is forbidden with
PSIZE = 1, 2 or 4 and PBURST = 4, 8 or 16.
This rule ensures that enough FIFO space at a time is free to serve the request from the
peripheral.

FIFO flush
The FIFO can be flushed when the stream is disabled by resetting the EN bit in the
DMA_SxCR register and when the stream is configured to manage peripheral-to-memory or
memory-to-memory transfers. If some data are still present in the FIFO when the stream is
disabled, the DMA controller continues transferring the remaining data to the destination
(even though stream is effectively disabled). When this flush is completed, the transfer
complete status bit (TCIFx) in the DMA_LISR or DMA_HISR register is set.
The remaining data counter DMA_SxNDTR keeps the value in this case to indicate how
many data items are currently available in the destination memory.
Note that during the FIFO flush operation, if the number of remaining data items in the FIFO
to be transferred to memory (in bytes) is less than the memory data width (for example 2
bytes in FIFO while MSIZE is configured to word), data is sent with the data width set in the
MSIZE bit in the DMA_SxCR register. This means that memory is written with an undesired

236/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Direct memory access controller (DMA)
value. The software may read the DMA_SxNDTR register to determine the memory area
that contains the good data (start address and last address).
If the number of remaining data items in the FIFO is lower than a burst size (if the MBURST
bits in DMA_SxCR register are set to configure the stream to manage burst on the AHB
memory port), single transactions are generated to complete the FIFO flush.

Direct mode
By default, the FIFO operates in direct mode (DMDIS bit in the DMA_SxFCR is reset) and
the FIFO threshold level is not used. This mode is useful when the system requires an
immediate and single transfer to or from the memory after each DMA request.
When the DMA is configured in direct mode (FIFO disabled), to transfer data in memory-toperipheral mode, the DMA preloads one data from the memory to the internal FIFO to
ensure an immediate data transfer as soon as a DMA request is triggered by a peripheral.
To avoid saturating the FIFO, it is recommended to configure the corresponding stream with
a high priority.
This mode is restricted to transfers where:
•

the source and destination transfer widths are equal and both defined by the
PSIZE[1:0] bits in DMA_SxCR (MSIZE[1:0] bits are not relevant)

•

burst transfers are not possible (PBURST[1:0] and MBURST[1:0] bits in DMA_SxCR
are don’t care)

Direct mode must not be used when implementing memory-to-memory transfers.

8.3.14

DMA transfer completion
Different events can generate an end of transfer by setting the TCIFx bit in the DMA_LISR
or DMA_HISR status register:
•

•

Note:

In DMA flow controller mode:
–

The DMA_SxNDTR counter has reached zero in the memory-to-peripheral mode.

–

The stream is disabled before the end of transfer (by clearing the EN bit in the
DMA_SxCR register) and (when transfers are peripheral-to-memory or memoryto-memory) all the remaining data have been flushed from the FIFO into the
memory.

In Peripheral flow controller mode:
–

The last external burst or single request has been generated from the peripheral
and (when the DMA is operating in peripheral-to-memory mode) the remaining
data have been transferred from the FIFO into the memory

–

The stream is disabled by software, and (when the DMA is operating in peripheralto-memory mode) the remaining data have been transferred from the FIFO into
the memory

The transfer completion is dependent on the remaining data in FIFO to be transferred into
memory only in the case of peripheral-to-memory mode. This condition is not applicable in
memory-to-peripheral mode.
If the stream is configured in noncircular mode, after the end of the transfer (that is when the
number of data to be transferred reaches zero), the DMA is stopped (EN bit in DMA_SxCR
register is cleared by Hardware) and no DMA request is served unless the software
reprograms the stream and re-enables it (by setting the EN bit in the DMA_SxCR register).

DMA transfer suspension
At any time, a DMA transfer can be suspended to be restarted later on or to be definitively
disabled before the end of the DMA transfer.
There are two cases:
•

The stream disables the transfer with no later-on restart from the point where it was
stopped. There is no particular action to do, except to clear the EN bit in the
DMA_SxCR register to disable the stream. The stream may take time to be disabled
(ongoing transfer is completed first). The transfer complete interrupt flag (TCIF in the
DMA_LISR or DMA_HISR register) is set in order to indicate the end of transfer. The
value of the EN bit in DMA_SxCR is now ‘0’ to confirm the stream interruption. The
DMA_SxNDTR register contains the number of remaining data items at the moment
when the stream was stopped so that the software can determine how many data items
have been transferred before the stream was interrupted.

•

The stream suspends the transfer before the number of remaining data items to be
transferred in the DMA_SxNDTR register reaches 0. The aim is to restart the transfer
later by re-enabling the stream. In order to restart from the point where the transfer was
stopped, the software has to read the DMA_SxNDTR register after disabling the stream
by writing the EN bit in DMA_SxCR register (and then checking that it is at ‘0’) to know
the number of data items already collected. Then:
–

The peripheral and/or memory addresses have to be updated in order to adjust
the address pointers

–

The SxNDTR register has to be updated with the remaining number of data items
to be transferred (the value read when the stream was disabled)

–

The stream may then be re-enabled to restart the transfer from the point it was
stopped

Note:

A transfer complete interrupt flag (TCIF in DMA_LISR or DMA_HISR) is set to indicate the
end of transfer due to the stream interruption.

8.3.16

Flow controller
The entity that controls the number of data to be transferred is known as the flow controller.
This flow controller is configured independently for each stream using the PFCTRL bit in the
DMA_SxCR register.
The flow controller can be:
•

The DMA controller: in this case, the number of data items to be transferred is
programmed by software into the DMA_SxNDTR register before the DMA stream is
enabled.

•

The peripheral source or destination: this is the case when the number of data items to
be transferred is unknown. The peripheral indicates by hardware to the DMA controller
when the last data are being transferred. This feature is only supported for peripherals
that are able to signal the end of the transfer, that is: SDMMC1.

When the peripheral flow controller is used for a given stream, the value written into the
DMA_SxNDTR has no effect on the DMA transfer. Actually, whatever the value written, it will
be forced by hardware to 0xFFFF as soon as the stream is enabled, to respect the following
schemes:
•

238/1724

Anticipated stream interruption: EN bit in DMA_SxCR register is reset to 0 by the
software to stop the stream before the last data hardware signal (single or burst) is sent
by the peripheral. In such a case, the stream is switched off and the FIFO flush is

Direct memory access controller (DMA)
triggered in the case of a peripheral-to-memory DMA transfer. The TCIFx flag of the
corresponding stream is set in the status register to indicate the DMA completion. To
know the number of data items transferred during the DMA transfer, read the
DMA_SxNDTR register and apply the following formula:
–

Note:

Number_of_data_transferred = 0xFFFF – DMA_SxNDTR

•

Normal stream interruption due to the reception of a last data hardware signal: the
stream is automatically interrupted when the peripheral requests the last transfer
(single or burst) and when this transfer is complete. the TCIFx flag of the corresponding
stream is set in the status register to indicate the DMA transfer completion. To know the
number of data items transferred, read the DMA_SxNDTR register and apply the same
formula as above.

•

The DMA_SxNDTR register reaches 0: the TCIFx flag of the corresponding stream is
set in the status register to indicate the forced DMA transfer completion. The stream is
automatically switched off even though the last data hardware signal (single or burst)
has not been yet asserted. The already transferred data is not lost. This means that a
maximum of 65535 data items can be managed by the DMA in a single transaction,
even in peripheral flow control mode.

When configured in memory-to-memory mode, the DMA is always the flow controller and
the PFCTRL bit is forced to 0 by hardware.
The circular mode is forbidden in the peripheral flow controller mode.

Stream configuration procedure
The following sequence must be followed to configure a DMA stream x (where x is the
stream number):
1.

If the stream is enabled, disable it by resetting the EN bit in the DMA_SxCR register,
then read this bit in order to confirm that there is no ongoing stream operation. Writing
this bit to 0 is not immediately effective since it is actually written to 0 once all the
current transfers are finished. When the EN bit is read as 0, this means that the stream
is ready to be configured. It is therefore necessary to wait for the EN bit to be cleared
before starting any stream configuration. All the stream dedicated bits set in the status
register (DMA_LISR and DMA_HISR) from the previous data block DMA transfer must
be cleared before the stream can be re-enabled.

2.

Set the peripheral port register address in the DMA_SxPAR register. The data is moved
from/ to this address to/ from the peripheral port after the peripheral event.

3.

Set the memory address in the DMA_SxMA0R register (and in the DMA_SxMA1R
register in the case of a double-buffer mode). The data is written to or read from this
memory after the peripheral event.

4.

Configure the total number of data items to be transferred in the DMA_SxNDTR
register. After each peripheral event or each beat of the burst, this value is
decremented.

5.

Select the DMA channel (request) using CHSEL[2:0] in the DMA_SxCR register.

6.

If the peripheral is intended to be the flow controller and if it supports this feature, set
the PFCTRL bit in the DMA_SxCR register.

7.

Configure the stream priority using the PL[1:0] bits in the DMA_SxCR register.

8.

Configure the FIFO usage (enable or disable, threshold in transmission and reception)

9.

Configure the data transfer direction, peripheral and memory incremented/fixed mode,
single or burst transactions, peripheral and memory data widths, circular mode,
double-buffer mode and interrupts after half and/or full transfer, and/or errors in the
DMA_SxCR register.

10. Activate the stream by setting the EN bit in the DMA_SxCR register.
As soon as the stream is enabled, it can serve any DMA request from the peripheral
connected to the stream.
Once half the data have been transferred on the AHB destination port, 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.

Warning:

240/1724

To switch off a peripheral connected to a DMA stream
request, it is mandatory to, first, switch off the DMA stream to
which the peripheral is connected, then to wait for EN bit = 0.
Only then can the peripheral be safely disabled.

8.3.19

Direct memory access controller (DMA)

Error management
The DMA controller can detect the following errors:
•

•

•

Transfer error: the transfer error interrupt flag (TEIFx) is set when:
–

a bus error occurs during a DMA read or a write access

–

a write access is requested by software on a memory address register in
double-buffer mode whereas the stream is enabled and the current target memory
is the one impacted by the write into the memory address register (refer to
Section 8.3.10: Double-buffer mode)

FIFO error: the FIFO error interrupt flag (FEIFx) is set if:
–

a FIFO underrun condition is detected

–

a FIFO overrun condition is detected (no detection in memory-to-memory mode
because requests and transfers are internally managed by the DMA)

–

the stream is enabled while the FIFO threshold level is not compatible with the
size of the memory burst (refer to Table 31: FIFO threshold configurations)

Direct mode error: the direct mode error interrupt flag (DMEIFx) can only be set in the
peripheral-to-memory mode while operating in direct mode and when the MINC bit in
the DMA_SxCR register is cleared. This flag is set when a DMA request occurs while
the previous data have not yet been fully transferred into the memory (because the
memory bus was not granted). In this case, the flag indicates that 2 data items were be
transferred successively to the same destination address, which could be an issue if
the destination is not able to manage this situation

In direct mode, the FIFO error flag can also be set under the following conditions:
•

In the peripheral-to-memory mode, the FIFO can be saturated (overrun) if the memory
bus is not granted for several peripheral requests.

•

In the memory-to-peripheral mode, an underrun condition may occur if the memory bus
has not been granted before a peripheral request occurs.

If the TEIFx or the FEIFx flag is set due to incompatibility between burst size and FIFO
threshold level, the faulty stream is automatically disabled through a hardware clear of its
EN bit in the corresponding stream configuration register (DMA_SxCR).
If the DMEIFx or the FEIFx flag is set due to an overrun or underrun condition, the faulty
stream is not automatically disabled and it is up to the software to disable or not the stream
by resetting the EN bit in the DMA_SxCR register. This is because there is no data loss
when this kind of errors occur.
When the stream's error interrupt flag (TEIF, FEIF, DMEIF) in the DMA_LISR or DMA_HISR
register is set, an interrupt is generated if the corresponding interrupt enable bit (TEIE,
FEIE, DMIE) in the DMA_SxCR or DMA_SxFCR register is set.
Note:

When a FIFO overrun or underrun condition occurs, the data is not lost because the
peripheral request is not acknowledged by the stream until the overrun or underrun
condition is cleared. If this acknowledge takes too much time, the peripheral itself may
detect an overrun or underrun condition of its internal buffer and data might be lost.

Direct memory access controller (DMA)

Bit 0 EN: stream enable / flag stream ready when read low
This bit is set and cleared by software.
0: stream disabled
1: stream enabled
This bit may be cleared by hardware:
–
on a DMA end of transfer (stream ready to be configured)
–
if a transfer error occurs on the AHB master buses
–
when the FIFO threshold on memory AHB port is not compatible with the size of the
burst
When this bit is read as 0, the software is allowed to program the configuration and FIFO bits
registers. It is forbidden to write these registers when the EN bit is read as 1.
Note: Before setting EN bit to '1' to start a new transfer, the event flags corresponding to the
stream in DMA_LISR or DMA_HISR register must be cleared.

Bits 31:16 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bits 15:0 NDT[15:0]: number of data items to transfer (0 up to 65535)
This register can be written only when the stream is disabled. When the stream is enabled,
this register is read-only, indicating the remaining data items to be transmitted. This register
decrements after each DMA transfer.
Once the transfer is completed, this register can either stay at zero (when the stream is in
normal mode) or be reloaded automatically with the previously programmed value in the
following cases:
–
when the stream is configured in circular mode.
–
when the stream is enabled again by setting EN bit to '1'.
If the value of this register is zero, no transaction can be served even if the stream is
enabled.

Chrom-ART Accelerator™ controller (DMA2D)

9.1

DMA2D introduction
The Chrom-ART Accelerator™ (DMA2D) is a specialized DMA dedicated to image
manipulation. It can perform the following operations:
•

Filling a part or the whole of a destination image with a specific color

•

Copying a part or the whole of a source image into a part or the whole of a destination
image

•

Copying a part or the whole of a source image into a part or the whole of a destination
image with a pixel format conversion

•

Blending a part and/or two complete source images with different pixel format and copy
the result into a part or the whole of a destination image with a different color format.

All the classical color coding schemes are supported from 4-bit up to 32-bit per pixel with
indexed or direct color mode. The DMA2D has its own dedicated memories for CLUTs (color
look-up tables).

9.2

DMA2D main features
The main DMA2D features are:
•

Single AHB master bus architecture.

•

AHB slave programming interface supporting 8/16/32-bit accesses (except for CLUT
accesses which are 32-bit).

•

User programmable working area size

•

User programmable offset for sources and destination areas

•

User programmable sources and destination addresses on the whole memory space

•

Up to 2 sources with blending operation

•

Alpha value can be modified (source value, fixed value or modulated value)

•

User programmable source and destination color format

•

Up to 11 color formats supported from 4-bit up to 32-bit per pixel with indirect or direct
color coding

•

2 internal memories for CLUT storage in indirect color mode

•

Automatic CLUT loading or CLUT programming via the CPU

•

User programmable CLUT size

•

Internal timer to control AHB bandwidth

•

4 operating modes: register-to-memory, memory-to-memory, memory-to-memory with
pixel format conversion, and memory-to-memory with pixel format conversion and
blending

RM0385 Rev 8

Chrom-ART Accelerator™ controller (DMA2D)
•

Area filling with a fixed color

•

Copy from an area to another

•

Copy with pixel format conversion between source and destination images

•

Copy from two sources with independent color format and blending

•

Abort and suspend of DMA2D operations

•

Watermark interrupt on a user programmable destination line

•

Interrupt generation on bus error or access conflict

•

Interrupt generation on process completion

9.3

DMA2D functional description

9.3.1

General description

RM0385

The DMA2D controller performs direct memory transfer. As an AHB master, it can take the
control of the AHB bus matrix to initiate AHB transactions.
The DMA2D can operate in the following modes:
•

Register-to-memory

•

Memory-to-memory

•

Memory-to-memory with Pixel Format Conversion

•

Memory-to-memory with Pixel Format Conversion and Blending

The AHB slave port is used to program the DMA2D controller.
The block diagram of the DMA2D is shown in Figure 29: DMA2D block diagram.

9.3.2

DMA2D control
The DMA2D controller is configured through the DMA2D Control Register (DMA2D_CR)
which allows selecting:
The user application can perform the following operations:

9.3.3

•

Select the operating mode

•

Enable/disable the DMA2D interrupt

•

Start/suspend/abort ongoing data transfers

DMA2D foreground and background FIFOs
The DMA2D foreground (FG) FG FIFO and background (BG) FIFO fetch the input data to
be copied and/or processed.
The FIFOs fetch the pixels according to the color format defined in their respective pixel
format converter (PFC).

RM0385 Rev 8

259/1724
288

Chrom-ART Accelerator™ controller (DMA2D)

RM0385

They are programmed through a set of control registers:
•

DMA2D foreground memory address register (DMA2D_FGMAR)

•

DMA2D foreground offset register (DMA2D_FGOR)

•

DMA2D background memory address register (DMA2D_BGMAR)

•

DMA2D background offset register (DMA2D_BGBOR)

•

DMA2D number of lines register (number of lines and pixel per lines) (DMA2D_NLR)

When the DMA2D operates in register-to-memory mode, none of the FIFOs is activated.
When the DMA2D operates in memory-to-memory mode (no pixel format conversion nor
blending operation), only the FG FIFO is activated and acts as a buffer.
When the DMA2D operates in memory-to-memory operation with pixel format conversion
(no blending operation), the BG FIFO is not activated.

9.3.4

DMA2D foreground and background pixel format converter (PFC)
DMA2D foreground pixel format converter (PFC) and background pixel format converter
perform the pixel format conversion to generate a 32-bit per pixel value. The PFC can also
modify the alpha channel.
The first stage of the converter converts the color format. The original color format of the
foreground pixel and background pixels are configured through the CM[3:0] bits of the
DMA2D_FGPFCCR and DMA2D_BGPFCCR, respectively.
The supported input formats are given in Table 35: Supported color mode in input.

The color format are coded as follows:
•

Alpha value field: transparency
0xFF value corresponds to an opaque pixel and 0x00 to a transparent one.

•

R field for Red

•

G field for Green

•

B field for Blue

•

L field: luminance
This field is the index to a CLUT to retrieve the three/four RGB/ARGB components.

If the original format was direct color mode (ARGB/RGB), then the extension to 8-bit per
channel is performed by copying the MSBs into the LSBs. This ensures a perfect linearity of
the conversion.
If the original format is indirect color mode (L/AL), a CLUT is required and each pixel format
converter is associated with a 256 entry 32-bit CLUT.
If the original format does not include an alpha channel, the alpha value is automatically set
to 0xFF (opaque).
For the specific alpha mode A4 and A8, no color information is stored nor indexed. The color
to be used for the image generation is fixed and is defined in the DMA2D_FGCOLR for
foreground pixels and in the DMA2D_BGCOLR register for background pixels.
The order of the fields in the system memory is defined in Table 36: Data order in memory.

RGB888

The 24-bit RGB888 aligned on 32-bit is supported through the ARGB8888 mode.
Once the 32-bit value is generated, the alpha channel can be modified according to the
AM[1:0] field of the DMA2D_FGPFCCR/DMA2D_BGPFCCR registers as shown in
Table 37: Alpha mode configuration.

DMA2D foreground and background CLUT interface
The CLUT interface manages the CLUT memory access and the automatic loading of the
CLUT.
Three kinds of accesses are possible:
•

CLUT read by the PFC during pixel format conversion operation

•

CLUT accessed through the AHB slave port when the CPU is reading or writing data
into the CLUT

•

CLUT written through the AHB master port when an automatic loading of the CLUT is
performed

The CLUT memory loading can be done in two different ways:
•

Automatic loading
The following sequence should be followed to load the CLUT:
a)

Program the CLUT address into the DMA2D_FGCMAR register (foreground
CLUT) or DMA2D_BGCMAR register (background CLUT)

b)

Program the CLUT size in the CS[7:0] field of the DMA2D_FGPFCCR register
(foreground CLUT) or DMA2D_BGPFCCR register (background CLUT).

c)

Set the START bit of the DMA2D_FGPFCCR register (foreground CLUT) or
DMA2D_BGPFCCR register (background CLUT) to start the transfer. During this
automatic loading process, the CLUT is not accessible by the CPU. If a conflict
occurs, a CLUT access error interrupt is raised assuming CAEIE is set to ‘1’ in
DMA2D_CR.

•

Manual loading
The application has to program the CLUT manually through the DMA2D AHB slave
port to which the local CLUT memory is mapped.The foreground CLUT is located at
address offset 0x0400 and the background CLUT at address offset 0x0800.

The CLUT format can be 24 or 32 bits. It is configured through the CCM bit of the
DMA2D_FGPFCCR register (foreground CLUT) or DMA2D_BGPFCCR register
(background CLUT) as shown in Table 38: Supported CLUT color mode.

DMA2D blender
The DMA2D blender blends the source pixels by pair to compute the resulting pixel.
The blending is performed according to the following equation:

with αMult =

αFG . αBG
255

αOUT = αFG + αBG - αMult

COUT =

CFG.αFG + CBG.αBG - CBG.αMult
αOUT

with C = R or G or B

Division is rounded to the nearest lower integer

No configuration register is required by the blender. The blender usage depends on the
DMA2D operating mode defined in MODE[1:0] field of the DMA2D_CR register.

9.3.7

DMA2D output PFC
The output PFC performs the pixel format conversion from 32 bits to the output format
defined in the CM[2:0] field of the DMA2D output pixel format converter configuration
register (DMA2D_OPFCCR).
The supported output formats are given in Table 40: Supported color mode in output

The destination area is defined through a set of control registers:
•

DMA2D output memory address register (DMA2D_OMAR)

•

DMA2D output offset register (DMA2D_OOR)

•

DMA2D number of lines register (number of lines and pixel per lines) (DMA2D_NLR)

If the DMA2D operates in register-to-memory mode, the configured output rectangle is filled
by the color specified in the DMA2D output color register (DMA2D_OCOLR) which contains
a fixed 32-bit, 24-bit or 16-bit value. The format is selected by the CM[2:0] field of the
DMA2D_OPFCCR register.

9.3.9

DMA2D AHB master port timer
An 8-bit timer is embedded into the AHB master port to provide an optional limitation of the
bandwidth on the crossbar.
This timer is clocked by the AHB clock and counts a dead time between two consecutive
accesses. This limits the bandwidth usage.

264/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Chrom-ART Accelerator™ controller (DMA2D)
The timer enabling and the dead time value are configured through the AHB master port
timer configuration register (DMA2D_AMPTCR).

9.3.10

DMA2D transactions
DMA2D transactions consist of a sequence of a given number of data transfers. The
number of data and the width can be programmed by software.
Each DMA2D data transfer is composed of up to 4 steps:

9.3.11

1.

Data loading from the memory location pointed by the DMA2D_FGMAR register and
pixel format conversion as defined in DMA2D_FGCR.

2.

Data loading from a memory location pointed by the DMA2D_BGMAR register and
pixel format conversion as defined in DMA2D_BGCR.

3.

Blending of all retrieved pixels according to the alpha channels resulting of the PFC
operation on alpha values.

4.

Pixel format conversion of the resulting pixels according to the DMA2D_OCR register
and programming of the data to the memory location addressed through the
DMA2D_OMAR register.

DMA2D configuration
Both source and destination data transfers can target peripherals and memories in the
whole 4 Gbyte memory area, at addresses ranging between 0x0000 0000 and
0xFFFF FFFF.
The DMA2D can operate in any of the four following modes selected through MODE[1:0]
bits of the DMA2D_CR register:
•

Register-to-memory

•

Memory-to-memory

•

Memory-to-memory with PFC

•

Memory-to-memory with PFC and blending

Register-to-memory
The register-to-memory mode is used to fill a user defined area with a predefined color.
The color format is set in the DMA2D_OPFCCR.
The DMA2D does not perform any data fetching from any source. It just writes the color
defined in the DMA2D_OCOLR register to the area located at the address pointed by the
DMA2D_OMAR and defined in the DMA2D_NLR and DMA2D_OOR.

Memory-to-memory
In memory-to-memory mode, the DMA2D does not perform any graphical data
transformation. The foreground input FIFO acts as a buffer and the data are transferred
from the source memory location defined in DMA2D_FGMAR to the destination memory
location pointed by DMA2D_OMAR.
The color mode programmed in the CM[3:0] bits of the DMA2D_FGPFCCR register defines
the number of bits per pixel for both input and output.

RM0385 Rev 8

265/1724
288

Chrom-ART Accelerator™ controller (DMA2D)

RM0385

The size of the area to be transferred is defined by the DMA2D_NLR and DMA2D_FGOR
registers for the source, and by DMA2D_NLR and DMA2D_OOR registers for the
destination.

Memory-to-memory with PFC
In this mode, the DMA2D performs a pixel format conversion of the source data and stores
them in the destination memory location.
The size of the areas to be transferred are defined by the DMA2D_NLR and DMA2D_FGOR
registers for the source, and by DMA2D_NLR and DMA2D_OOR registers for the
destination.
Data are fetched from the location defined in the DMA2D_FGMAR register and processed
by the foreground PFC. The original pixel format is configured through the
DMA2D_FGPFCCR register.
If the original pixel format is direct color mode, then the color channels are all expanded to 8
bits.
If the pixel format is indirect color mode, the associated CLUT has to be loaded into the
CLUT memory.
The CLUT loading can be done automatically by following the sequence below:
1.

Set the CLUT address into the DMA2D_FGCMAR.

2.

Set the CLUT size in the CS[7:0] bits of the DMA2D_FGPFCCR register.

3.

Set the CLUT format (24 or 32 bits) in the CCM bit of the DMA2D_FGPFCCR register.

4.

Start the CLUT loading by setting the START bit of the DMA2D_FGPFCCR register.

Once the CLUT loading is complete, the CTCIF flag of the DMA2D_IFR register is raised,
and an interrupt is generated if the CTCIE bit is set in DMA2D_CR. The automatic CLUT
loading process can not work in parallel with classical DMA2D transfers.
The CLUT can also be filled by the CPU or by any other master through the APB port. The
access to the CLUT is not possible when a DMA2D transfer is ongoing and uses the CLUT
(indirect color format).
In parallel to the color conversion process, the alpha value can be added or changed
depending on the value programmed in the DMA2D_FGPFCCR register. If the original
image does not have an alpha channel, a default alpha value of 0xFF is automatically added
to obtain a fully opaque pixel. The alpha value can be modified according to the AM[1:0] bits
of the DMA2D_FGPFCCR register:
•

It can be unchanged.

•

It can be replaced by the value defined in the ALPHA[7:0] value of the
DMA2D_FGPFCCR register.

•

It can be replaced by the original value multiplied by the ALPHA[7:0] value of the
DMA2D_FGPFCCR register divided by 255.

The resulting 32-bit data are encoded by the OUT PFC into the format specified by the
CM[2:0] field of the DMA2D_OPFCCR register. The output pixel format cannot be the
indirect mode since no CLUT generation process is supported.
The processed data are written into the destination memory location pointed by
DMA2D_OMAR.

266/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Chrom-ART Accelerator™ controller (DMA2D)

Memory-to-memory with PFC and blending
In this mode, 2 sources are fetched in the foreground FIFO and background FIFO from the
memory locations defined by DMA2D_FGMAR and DMA2D_BGMAR.
The two pixel format converters have to be configured as described in the memory-tomemory mode. Their configurations can be different as each pixel format converter are
independent and have their own CLUT memory.
Once each pixel has been converted into 32 bits by their respective PFCs, they are blended
according to the equation below:
with αMult =

αFG . αBG
255

αOUT = αFG + αBG - αMult

COUT =

CFG.αFG + CBG.αBG - CBG.αMult
αOUT

with C = R or G or B

Division are rounded to the nearest lower integer

The resulting 32-bit pixel value is encoded by the output PFC according to the specified
output format, and the data are written into the destination memory location pointed by
DMA2D_OMAR.

Configuration error detection
The DMA2D checks that the configuration is correct before any transfer. The configuration
error interrupt flag is set by hardware when a wrong configuration is detected when a new
transfer/automatic loading starts. An interrupt is then generated if the CEIE bit of the
DMA2D_CR is set.
The wrong configurations that can be detected are listed below:
•

Foreground CLUT automatic loading: MA bits of DMA2D_FGCMAR are not aligned
with CCM of DMA2D_FGPFCCR.

•

Background CLUT automatic loading: MA bits of DMA2D_BGCMAR are not aligned
with CCM of DMA2D_BGPFCCR

•

Memory transfer (except in register-to-memory mode): MA bits of DMA2D_FGMAR are
not aligned with CM of DMA2D_FGPFCCR

•

Memory transfer (except in register-to-memory mode): CM bits of DMA2D_FGPFCCR
are invalid

•

Memory transfer (except in register-to-memory mode): PL bits of DMA2D_NLR are odd
while CM of DMA2D_FGPFCCR is A4 or L4

•

Memory transfer (except in register-to-memory mode): LO bits of DMA2D_FGOR are
odd while CM of DMA2D_FGPFCCR is A4 or L4

•

Memory transfer (only in blending mode): MA bits of DMA2D_BGMAR are not aligned
with the CM of DMA2D_BGPFCCR

•

Memory transfer: (only in blending mode) CM bits of DMA2D_BGPFCCR are invalid

•

Memory transfer (only in blending mode): PL bits of DMA2D_NLR odd while CM of
DMA2D_BGPFCCR is A4 or L4

DMA2D transfer control (start, suspend, abort and completion)
Once the DMA2D is configured, the transfer can be launched by setting the START bit of the
DMA2D_CR register. Once the transfer is completed, the START bit is automatically reset
and the TCIF flag of the DMA2D_ISR register is raised. An interrupt can be generated if the
TCIE bit of the DMA2D_CR is set.
The user application can suspend the DMA2D at any time by setting the SUSP bit of the
DMA2D_CR register. The transaction can then be aborted by setting the ABORT bit of the
DMA2D_CR register or can be restarted by resetting the SUSP bit of the DMA2D_CR
register.
The user application can abort at any time an ongoing transaction by setting the ABORT bit
of the DMA2D_CR register. In this case, the TCIF flag is not raised.
Automatic CLUT transfers can also be aborted or suspended by using the ABORT or the
SUSP bit of the DMA2D_CR register.

9.3.13

Watermark
A watermark can be programmed to generate an interrupt when the last pixel of a given line
has been written to the destination memory area.
The line number is defined in the LW[15:0] field of the DMA2D_LWR register.
When the last pixel of this line has been transferred, the TWIF flag of the DMA2D_ISR
register is raised and an interrupt is generated if the TWIE bit of the DMA2D_CR is set.

9.3.14

Error management
Two kind of errors can be triggered:
•

AHB master port errors signaled by the TEIF flag of the DMA2D_ISR register.

•

Conflicts caused by CLUT access (CPU trying to access the CLUT while a CLUT
loading or a DMA2D transfer is ongoing) signalled by the CAEIF flag of the
DMA2D_ISR register.

Both flags are associated to their own interrupt enable flag in the DMA2D_CR register to
generate an interrupt if need be (TEIE and CAEIE).

9.3.15

AHB dead time
To limit the AHB bandwidth usage, a dead time between two consecutive AHB accesses
can be programmed.
This feature can be enabled by setting the EN bit in the DMA2D_AMTCR register.

268/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Chrom-ART Accelerator™ controller (DMA2D)
The dead time value is stored in the DT[7:0] field of the DMA2D_AMTCR register. This
value represents the guaranteed minimum number of cycles between two consecutive
transactions on the AHB bus.
The update of the dead time value while the DMA2D is running will be taken into account for
the next AHB transfer.

9.4

DMA2D interrupts
An interrupt can be generated on the following events:
•

Configuration error

•

CLUT transfer complete

•

CLUT access error

•

Transfer watermark reached

•

Transfer complete

•

Nested vectored interrupt controller (NVIC)

Nested vectored interrupt controller (NVIC)

10.1

NVIC features
The nested vector interrupt controller NVIC includes the following features:
•

up to 98 maskable interrupt channels for STM32F75xxx and STM32F74xxx (not
including the 16 interrupt lines of Cortex®-M7 with FPU)

•

16 programmable priority levels (4 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 programming manual PMxxxx.

10.1.1

SysTick calibration value register
The SysTick calibration value is fixed to 18750, which gives a reference time base of 1 ms
with the SysTick clock set to 18.75 MHz (HCLK/8, with HCLK set to 150 MHz).

10.1.2

Interrupt and exception vectors
See Table 44, for the vector table for the STM32F75xxx and STM32F74xxx devices.

RM0385

Extended interrupts and events controller (EXTI)
The external interrupt/event controller consists of up to 24 edge detectors for generating
event/interrupt requests. Each input line can be independently configured to select the type
(interrupt or event) and the corresponding trigger event (rising or falling or both). Each line
can also masked independently. A pending register maintains the status line of the interrupt
requests.

11.1

EXTI main features
The main features of the EXTI controller are the following:

11.2

•

independent trigger and mask on each interrupt/event line

•

dedicated status bit for each interrupt line

•

generation of up to 24 software event/interrupt requests

•

detection of external signals with a pulse width lower than the APB2 clock period. Refer
to the electrical characteristics section of the STM32F75xxx and STM32F74xxx
datasheets for details on this parameter.

Extended interrupts and events controller (EXTI)

Wakeup event management
The STM32F75xxx and STM32F74xxx devices are able to handle external or internal
events in order to wake up the core (WFE). The wakeup event can be generated either by:
•

enabling an interrupt in the peripheral control register but not in the NVIC, and enabling
the SEVONPEND bit in the Cortex®-M7 System Control register. When the MCU
resumes from WFE, the peripheral interrupt pending bit and the peripheral NVIC IRQ
channel pending bit (in the NVIC interrupt clear pending register) have to be cleared.

•

or 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.

To use an external line as a wakeup event, refer to Section 11.4: Functional description.

11.4

Functional description
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.
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.
An interrupt/event request can also be generated by software by writing a ‘1’ in the software
interrupt/event register.

11.5

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

11.6

1.

Configure the corresponding mask bit (EXTI_IMR)

2.

Configure the Trigger selection bits of the interrupt lines (EXTI_RTSR and EXTI_FTSR)

3.

Configure the enable and mask bits that control the NVIC IRQ channel mapped to the
external interrupt controller (EXTI) so that an interrupt coming from one of the 24 lines
can be correctly acknowledged.

Hardware event selection
To configure a line as event sources, use the following procedure:
1.

Configure the corresponding mask bit (EXTI_EMR)

2.

Configure the Trigger selection bits of the event line (EXTI_RTSR and EXTI_FTSR)

Software interrupt/event selection
The line can be configured as software interrupt/event line. The following is the procedure to
generate a software interrupt.

11.8

1.

Configure the corresponding mask bit (EXTI_IMR, EXTI_EMR)

2.

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

External interrupt/event line mapping
Up to 168 GPIOs are connected to the 16 external interrupt/event lines in the following

Note:

The external wakeup lines are edge triggered, no glitch must be generated on these lines.
If a falling edge occurs on the external interrupt line while writing to the EXTI_FTSR register,
the pending bit is not set.
Rising and falling edge triggers can be set for the same interrupt line. In this configuration,
both generate a trigger condition.

If interrupt are enabled on line x in the EXTI_IMR register, writing '1' to SWIERx bit when it is
set at '0' sets the corresponding pending bit in the EXTI_PR register, thus resulting in an
interrupt request generation.
This bit is cleared by clearing the corresponding bit in EXTI_PR (by writing a 1 to the bit).

Cyclic redundancy check calculation unit (CRC)

12.1

Introduction
The CRC (cyclic redundancy check) calculation unit is used to get a CRC code from 8-, 16or 32-bit data word and a generator polynomial.
Among other applications, CRC-based techniques are used to verify data transmission or
storage integrity. In the scope of the functional safety standards, they offer a means of
verifying the Flash memory integrity. The CRC calculation unit helps compute a signature of
the software during runtime, to be compared with a reference signature generated at link
time and stored at a given memory location.

12.2

CRC main features
•

Uses CRC-32 (Ethernet) polynomial: 0x4C11DB7
X32 + X26 + X23 + X22 + X16 + X12 + X11 + X10 +X8 + X7 + X5 + X4 + X2+ X +1

•

Alternatively, uses fully programmable polynomial with programmable size (7, 8, 16, 32
bits)

•

Handles 8-,16-, 32-bit data size

•

Programmable CRC initial value

•

Single input/output 32-bit data register

•

Input buffer to avoid bus stall during calculation

•

CRC computation done in 4 AHB clock cycles (HCLK) for the 32-bit data size

•

General-purpose 8-bit register (can be used for temporary storage)

•

Reversibility option on I/O data

Description
AHB clock

CRC operation
The CRC calculation unit has a single 32-bit read/write data register (CRC_DR). It is used to
input new data (write access), and holds the result of the previous CRC calculation (read
access).
Each write operation to the data register creates a combination of the previous CRC value
(stored in CRC_DR) and the new one. CRC computation is done on the whole 32-bit data
word or byte by byte depending on the format of the data being written.
The CRC_DR register can be accessed by word, right-aligned half-word and right-aligned
byte. For the other registers only 32-bit access is allowed.
The duration of the computation depends on data width:
•

4 AHB clock cycles for 32-bit

•

2 AHB clock cycles for 16-bit

•

1 AHB clock cycles for 8-bit

An input buffer allows to immediately write a second data without waiting for any wait states
due to the previous CRC calculation.
The data size can be dynamically adjusted to minimize the number of write accesses for a
given number of bytes. For instance, a CRC for 5 bytes can be computed with a word write
followed by a byte write.

302/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Cyclic redundancy check calculation unit (CRC)
The input data can be reversed, to manage the various endianness schemes. The reversing
operation can be performed on 8 bits, 16 bits and 32 bits depending on the REV_IN[1:0] bits
in the CRC_CR register.
For example: input data 0x1A2B3C4D is used for CRC calculation as:
•

0x58D43CB2 with bit-reversal done by byte

•

0xD458B23C with bit-reversal done by half-word

•

0xB23CD458 with bit-reversal done on the full word

The output data can also be reversed by setting the REV_OUT bit in the CRC_CR register.
The operation is done at bit level: for example, output data 0x11223344 is converted into
0x22CC4488.
The CRC calculator can be initialized to a programmable value using the RESET control bit
in the CRC_CR register (the default value is 0xFFFFFFFF).
The initial CRC value can be programmed with the CRC_INIT register. The CRC_DR
register is automatically initialized upon CRC_INIT register write access.
The CRC_IDR register can be used to hold a temporary value related to CRC calculation. It
is not affected by the RESET bit in the CRC_CR register.

Polynomial programmability
The polynomial coefficients are fully programmable through the CRC_POL register, and the
polynomial size can be configured to be 7, 8, 16 or 32 bits by programming the
POLYSIZE[1:0] bits in the CRC_CR register. Even polynomials are not supported.
If the CRC data is less than 32-bit, its value can be read from the least significant bits of the
CRC_DR register.
To obtain a reliable CRC calculation, the change on-fly of the polynomial value or size can
not be performed during a CRC calculation. As a result, if a CRC calculation is ongoing, the
application must either reset it or perform a CRC_DR read before changing the polynomial.
The default polynomial value is the CRC-32 (Ethernet) polynomial: 0x4C11DB7.

Flexible memory controller (FMC)

Flexible memory controller (FMC)
The Flexible memory controller (FMC) includes three memory controllers:

13.1

•

The NOR/PSRAM memory controller

•

The NAND memory controller

•

The Synchronous DRAM (SDRAM/Mobile LPSDR SDRAM) controller

FMC main features
The FMC functional block makes the interface with: synchronous and asynchronous static
memories, SDRAM memories, and NAND Flash memory. Its main purposes are:
•

to translate AHB transactions into the appropriate external device protocol

•

to meet the access time requirements of the external memory devices

All external memories share the addresses, data and control signals with the controller.
Each external device is accessed by means of a unique chip select. The FMC performs only
one access at a time to an external device.
The main features of the FMC controller are the following:
•

Interface with static-memory mapped devices including:
–

Static random access memory (SRAM)

–

NOR Flash memory/OneNAND Flash memory

–

PSRAM (4 memory banks)

–

NAND Flash memory with ECC hardware to check up to 8 Kbytes of data

•

Interface with synchronous DRAM (SDRAM/Mobile LPSDR SDRAM) memories

•

Interface with parallel LCD modules, supporting Intel 8080 and Motorola 6800 modes.

•

Burst mode support for faster access to synchronous devices such as NOR Flash
memory, PSRAM and SDRAM)

•

Programmable continuous clock output for asynchronous and synchronous accesses

•

8-,16- or 32-bit wide data bus

•

Independent chip select control for each memory bank

•

Independent configuration for each memory bank

•

Write enable and byte lane select outputs for use with PSRAM, SRAM and SDRAM
devices

•

External asynchronous wait control

•

Write FIFO with 16 x32-bit depth

•

Cacheable Read FIFO with 6 x32-bit depth (6 x14-bit address tag) for SDRAM
controller.

The Write FIFO is common to all memory controllers and consists of:
•

a Write Data FIFO which stores the AHB data to be written to the memory (up to 32
bits) plus one bit for the AHB transfer (burst or not sequential mode)

•

a Write Address FIFO which stores the AHB address (up to 28 bits) plus the AHB data
size (up to 2 bits). When operating in burst mode, only the start address is stored
except when crossing a page boundary (for PSRAM and SDRAM). In this case, the
AHB burst is broken into two FIFO entries.
RM0385 Rev 8

307/1724
383

Flexible memory controller (FMC)

RM0385

The Write FIFO can be disabled by setting the WFDIS bit in the FMC_BCR1 register.
At startup the FMC pins must be configured by the user application. The FMC I/O pins which
are not used by the application can be used for other purposes.
The FMC registers that define the external device type and associated characteristics are
usually set at boot time and do not change until the next reset or power-up. However, the
settings can be changed at any time.

13.2

FMC block diagram
The FMC consists of the following main blocks:
•

The AHB interface (including the FMC configuration registers)

•

The NOR Flash/PSRAM/SRAM controller

•

The SDRAM controller

•

The NAND Flash controller

Flexible memory controller (FMC)

AHB interface
The AHB slave interface allows internal CPUs and other bus master peripherals to access
the external memories.
AHB transactions are translated into the external device protocol. In particular, if the
selected external memory is 16- or 8-bit wide, 32-bit wide transactions on the AHB are split
into consecutive 16- or 8-bit accesses. The FMC chip select (FMC_NEx) does not toggle
between the consecutive accesses except in case of Access mode D when the Extended
mode is enabled.
The FMC generates an AHB error in the following conditions:
•

When reading or writing to an FMC bank (Bank 1 to 4) which is not enabled.

•

When reading or writing to the NOR Flash bank while the FACCEN bit is reset in the
FMC_BCRx register.

•

When writing to a write protected SDRAM bank (WP bit set in the SDRAM_SDCRx
register).

•

When the SDRAM address range is violated (access to reserved address range)

The effect of an AHB error depends on the AHB master which has attempted the R/W
access:
•

If the access has been attempted by the Cortex®-M7 CPU, a hard fault interrupt is
generated.

•

If the access has been performed by a DMA controller, a DMA transfer error is
generated and the corresponding DMA channel is automatically disabled.

The AHB clock (HCLK) is the reference clock for the FMC.

13.3.1

Supported memories and transactions
General transaction rules
The requested AHB transaction data size can be 8-, 16- or 32-bit wide whereas the
accessed external device has a fixed data width. This may lead to inconsistent transfers.

RM0385 Rev 8

309/1724
383

Flexible memory controller (FMC)

RM0385

Therefore, some simple transaction rules must be followed:
•

AHB transaction size and memory data size are equal
There is no issue in this case.

•

AHB transaction size is greater than the memory size:
In this case, the FMC splits the AHB transaction into smaller consecutive memory
accesses to meet the external data width. The FMC chip select (FMC_NEx) does not
toggle between the consecutive accesses.

•

AHB transaction size is smaller than the memory size:
The transfer may or not be consistent depending on the type of external device:
–

Accesses to devices that have the byte select feature (SRAM, ROM, PSRAM,
SDRAM)
In this case, the FMC allows read/write transactions and accesses the right data
through its byte lanes NBL[3:0].
Bytes to be written are addressed by NBL[3:0].
All memory bytes are read (NBL[3:0] are driven low during read transaction) and
the useless ones are discarded.

–

Accesses to devices that do not have the byte select feature (NOR and NAND
Flash memories)
This situation occurs when a byte access is requested to a 16-bit wide Flash
memory. Since the device cannot be accessed in Byte mode (only 16-bit words
can be read/written from/to the Flash memory), Write transactions and Read
transactions are allowed (the controller reads the entire 16-bit memory word and
uses only the required byte).

Wrap support for NOR Flash/PSRAM and SDRAM
The synchronous memories must be configured in Linear burst mode of undefined length as
not all masters can issue a wrap transactions.
If a master generates an AHB wrap transaction:
•

The read is splited into two linear burst transactions.

•

The write is splited into two linear burst transactions if the write fifo is enabled and into
several linear burst transactions if the write fifo is disabled.

Configuration registers
The FMC can be configured through a set of registers. Refer to Section 13.5.6, for a
detailed description of the NOR Flash/PSRAM controller registers. Refer to Section 13.6.7,
for a detailed description of the NAND Flash registers and to Section 13.7.5 for a detailed
description of the SDRAM controller registers.

External device address mapping
From the FMC point of view, the external memory is divided into fixed-size banks of
256 Mbytes each (see Figure 34):
•

Bank 1 used to address up to 4 NOR Flash memory or PSRAM devices. This bank is
split into 4 NOR/PSRAM subbanks with 4 dedicated chip selects, as follows:
–

Bank 1 - NOR/PSRAM 1

–

Bank 1 - NOR/PSRAM 2

–

Bank 1 - NOR/PSRAM 3

–

Bank 1 - NOR/PSRAM 4

•

Bank 3 used to address NAND Flash memory devices.The MPU memory attribute for
this space must be reconfigured by software to Device.

•

Bank 4 and 5 used to address SDRAM devices (1 device per bank).

For each bank the type of memory to be used can be configured by the user application
through the Configuration register.

1. HADDR are internal AHB address lines that are translated to external memory.

The HADDR[25:0] bits contain the external memory address. Since HADDR is a byte
address whereas the memory is addressed at word level, the address actually issued to the
memory varies according to the memory data width, as shown in the following table.

32-bit

HADDR[25:2] >> 2

64 Mbytes/4 x 32 = 512 Mbit

1. In case of a 16-bit external memory width, the FMC will internally use HADDR[25:1] to generate the
address for external memory FMC_A[24:0]. In case of a 32-bit memory width, the FMC will internally use
HADDR[25:2] to generate the external address.
Whatever the external memory width, FMC_A[0] should be connected to external memory address A[0].

Flexible memory controller (FMC)
The application software uses the 3 sections to access the NAND Flash memory:
•

To sending a command to NAND Flash memory, the software must write the
command value to any memory location in the command section.

•

To specify the NAND Flash address that must be read or written, the software
must write the address value to any memory location in the address section. Since an
address can be 4 or 5 bytes long (depending on the actual memory size), several
consecutive write operations to the address section are required to specify the full
address.

•

To read or write data, the software reads or writes the data from/to any memory
location in the data section.

Since the NAND Flash memory automatically increments addresses, there is no need to
increment the address of the data section to access consecutive memory locations.

13.4.3

SDRAM address mapping
The HADDR[28] bit (internal AHB address line 28) is used to select one of the two memory

lines to generate the external address. Whatever the memory width, FMC_A[0] has to be connected to the
external memory address A[0].
2. The AutoPrecharge is not supported. FMC_A[10] must be connected to the external memory address
A[10] but it will be always driven ‘low’.

•

•

•

–

8 bits

–

16 bits

–

–

Asynchronous mode

–

Burst mode for synchronous accesses

–

Multiplexed or non-multiplexed

–

–

–

The FMC outputs a unique chip select signal, NE[4:1], per bank. All the other signals
(addresses, data and control) are shared.

316/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Flexible memory controller (FMC)
The FMC supports a wide range of devices through a programmable timings among which:
•

Programmable wait states (up to 15)

•

Programmable bus turnaround cycles (up to 15)

•

Programmable output enable and write enable delays (up to 15)

•

Independent read and write timings and protocol to support the widest variety of
memories and timings

•

Programmable continuous clock (FMC_CLK) output.

The FMC Clock (FMC_CLK) is a submultiple of the HCLK clock. It can be delivered to the
selected external device either during synchronous accesses only or during asynchronous
and synchronous accesses depending on the CCKEN bit configuration in the FMC_BCR1
register:
•

If the CCLKEN bit is reset, the FMC generates the clock (CLK) only during
synchronous accesses (Read/write transactions).

•

If the CCLKEN bit is set, the FMC generates a continuous clock during asynchronous
and synchronous accesses. To generate the FMC_CLK continuous clock, Bank 1 must
be configured in Synchronous mode (see Section 13.5.6: NOR/PSRAM controller
registers). Since the same clock is used for all synchronous memories, when a
continuous output clock is generated and synchronous accesses are performed, the
AHB data size has to be the same as the memory data width (MWID) otherwise the
FMC_CLK frequency will be changed depending on AHB data transaction (refer to
Section 13.5.5: Synchronous transactions for FMC_CLK divider ratio formula).

The size of each bank is fixed and equal to 64 Mbytes. Each bank is configured through
dedicated registers (see Section 13.5.6: NOR/PSRAM controller registers).
The programmable memory parameters include access times (see Table 57) and support
for wait management (for PSRAM and NOR Flash accessed in Burst mode).

13.5.3

Flexible memory controller (FMC)

General timing rules
Signals synchronization

13.5.4

•

All controller output signals change on the rising edge of the internal clock (HCLK)

•

In Synchronous mode (read or write), all output signals change on the rising edge of
HCLK. Whatever the CLKDIV value, all outputs change as follows:
–

NOEL/NWEL/ NEL/NADVL/ NADVH /NBLL/ Address valid outputs change on the
falling edge of FMC_CLK clock.

–

NOEH/ NWEH / NEH/ NOEH/NBLH/ Address invalid outputs change on the rising
edge of FMC_CLK clock.

NOR Flash/PSRAM controller asynchronous transactions
Asynchronous static memories (NOR Flash, PSRAM, SRAM)
•

Signals are synchronized by the internal clock HCLK. This clock is not issued to the
memory

•

The FMC always samples the data before de-asserting the NOE signal. This
guarantees that the memory data hold timing constraint is met (minimum Chip Enable
high to data transition is usually 0 ns)

•

If the Extended mode is enabled (EXTMOD bit is set in the FMC_BCRx register), up to
four extended modes (A, B, C and D) are available. It is possible to mix A, B, C and D
modes for read and write operations. For example, read operation can be performed in
mode A and write in mode B.

•

If the Extended mode is disabled (EXTMOD bit is reset in the FMC_BCRx register), the
FMC can operate in Mode1 or Mode2 as follows:
–

Mode 1 is the default mode when SRAM/PSRAM memory type is selected (MTYP
= 0x0 or 0x01 in the FMC_BCRx register)

–

Mode 2 is the default mode when NOR memory type is selected (MTYP = 0x10 in
the FMC_BCRx register).

The one HCLK cycle at the end of the write transaction helps guarantee the address and
data hold time after the NWE rising edge. Due to the presence of this HCLK cycle, the
DATAST value must be greater than zero (DATAST > 0).

If the WAIT signal is active (high or low depending on the WAITPOL bit), the second access
phase (Data setup phase), programmed by the DATAST bits, is extended until WAIT
becomes inactive. Unlike the data setup phase, the first access phases (Address setup and
Address hold phases), programmed by the ADDSET and ADDHLD bits, are not WAIT
sensitive and so they are not prolonged.
The data setup phase must be programmed so that WAIT can be detected 4 HCLK cycles
before the end of the memory transaction. The following cases must be considered:

1.

The memory asserts the WAIT signal aligned to NOE/NWE which toggles:
DATAST ≥ ( 4 × HCLK ) + max_wait_assertion_time

2.

The memory asserts the WAIT signal aligned to NEx (or NOE/NWE not toggling):
if
max_wait_assertion_time > address_phase + hold_phase
then:

DATAST ≥ ( 4 × HCLK ) + ( max_wait_assertion_time

– address_phase – hold_phase )

otherwise
DATAST ≥ 4 × HCLK
where max_wait_assertion_time is the maximum time taken by the memory to assert
the WAIT signal once NEx/NOE/NWE is low.
Figure 48 and Figure 49 show the number of HCLK clock cycles that are added to the

memory access phase after WAIT is released by the asynchronous memory (independently
of the above cases).

13.5.5

Synchronous transactions
The memory clock, FMC_CLK, is a submultiple of HCLK. It depends on the value of
CLKDIV and the MWID/ AHB data size, following the formula given below:
FMC_CLK divider ratio = max (CLKDIV + 1,MWID ( AHB data size ))
If MWID is 16 or 8-bit, the FMC_CLK divider ratio is always defined by the programmed
CLKDIV value.
If MWID is 32-bit, the FMC_CLK divider ratio depends also on AHB data size.
Example:
•

If CLKDIV=1, MWID = 32 bits, AHB data size=8 bits, FMC_CLK=HCLK/4.

•

If CLKDIV=1, MWID = 16 bits, AHB data size=8 bits, FMC_CLK=HCLK/2.

NOR Flash memories specify a minimum time from NADV assertion to CLK high. To meet
this constraint, the FMC does not issue the clock to the memory during the first internal
clock cycle of the synchronous access (before NADV assertion). This guarantees that the
rising edge of the memory clock occurs in the middle of the NADV low pulse.

Data latency versus NOR memory latency
The data latency is the number of cycles to wait before sampling the data. The DATLAT
value must be consistent with the latency value specified in the NOR Flash configuration
register. The FMC does not include the clock cycle when NADV is low in the data latency
count.

338/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Flexible memory controller (FMC)

Caution:

Some NOR Flash memories include the NADV Low cycle in the data latency count, so that
the exact relation between the NOR Flash latency and the FMC DATLAT parameter can be
either:
•

NOR Flash latency = (DATLAT + 2) CLK clock cycles

•

or NOR Flash latency = (DATLAT + 3) CLK clock cycles

Some recent memories assert NWAIT during the latency phase. In such cases DATLAT can
be set to its minimum value. As a result, the FMC samples the data and waits long enough
to evaluate if the data are valid. Thus the FMC detects when the memory exits latency and
real data are processed.
Other memories do not assert NWAIT during latency. In this case the latency must be set
correctly for both the FMC and the memory, otherwise invalid data are mistaken for good
data, or valid data are lost in the initial phase of the memory access.

Single-burst transfer
When the selected bank is configured in Burst mode for synchronous accesses, if for
example an AHB single-burst transaction is requested on 16-bit memories, the FMC
performs a burst transaction of length 1 (if the AHB transfer is 16 bits), or length 2 (if the
AHB transfer is 32 bits) and de-assert the chip select signal when the last data is strobed.
Such transfers are not the most efficient in terms of cycles compared to asynchronous read
operations. Nevertheless, a random asynchronous access would first require to re-program
the memory access mode, which would altogether last longer.

Cross boundary page for CellularRAM™ 1.5
CellularRAM™ 1.5 does not allow burst access to cross the page boundary. The FMC
controller allows to split automatically the burst access when the memory page size is
reached by configuring the CPSIZE bits in the FMC_BCR1 register following the memory
page size.

Wait management
For synchronous NOR Flash memories, NWAIT is evaluated after the programmed latency
period, which corresponds to (DATLAT+2) CLK clock cycles.
If NWAIT is active (low level when WAITPOL = 0, high level when WAITPOL = 1), wait
states are inserted until NWAIT is inactive (high level when WAITPOL = 0, low level when
WAITPOL = 1).
When NWAIT is inactive, the data is considered valid either immediately (bit WAITCFG = 1)
or on the next clock edge (bit WAITCFG = 0).
During wait-state insertion via the NWAIT signal, the controller continues to send clock
pulses to the memory, keeping the chip select and output enable signals valid. It does not
consider the data as valid.
In Burst mode, there are two timing configurations for the NOR Flash NWAIT signal:
•

The Flash memory asserts the NWAIT signal one data cycle before the wait state
(default after reset).

•

The Flash memory asserts the NWAIT signal during the wait state

The FMC supports both NOR Flash wait state configurations, for each chip select, thanks to
the WAITCFG bit in the FMC_BCRx registers (x = 0..3).

Bits 19:16 BUSTURN[3:0]: Bus turnaround phase duration
These bits are written by software to add a delay at the end of a write-to-read (and read-towrite) transaction. This delay allows to match the minimum time between consecutive
transactions (tEHEL from NEx high to NEx low) and the maximum time needed by the
memory to free the data bus after a read access (tEHQZ). The programmed bus turnaround
delay is inserted between an asynchronous read (muxed or mode D) or write transaction and
any other asynchronous /synchronous read or write to or from a static bank. The bank can be
the same or different in case of read, in case of write the bank can be different except for
muxed or mode D.
In some cases, whatever the programmed BUSTURN values, the bus turnaround delay is
fixed
as follows:
• The bus turnaround delay is not inserted between two consecutive asynchronous write
transfers to the same static memory bank except for muxed and D modes.
• There is a bus turnaround delay of 1 HCLK clock cycle between:
–Two consecutive asynchronous read transfers to the same static memory bank except for
muxed and D modes.
–An asynchronous read to an asynchronous or synchronous write to any static bank or
dynamic bank except for muxed and D modes.
–An asynchronous (modes 1, 2, A, B or C) read and a read from another static bank.
• There is a bus turnaround delay of 2 HCLK clock cycle between:
–Two consecutive synchronous writes (burst or single) to the same bank.
–A synchronous write (burst or single) access and an asynchronous write or read transfer
to or from static memory bank (the bank can be the same or different for the case of
read.
–Two consecutive synchronous reads (burst or single) followed by any
synchronous/asynchronous read or write from/to another static memory bank.
• There is a bus turnaround delay of 3 HCLK clock cycle between:
–Two consecutive synchronous writes (burst or single) to different static bank.
–A synchronous write (burst or single) access and a synchronous read from the same or a
different bank.

For each access mode address-hold phase duration, refer to the respective figure (Figure 35
to Figure 47).
Note: In synchronous accesses, this value is not used, the address hold phase is always 1
memory clock period duration.
Bits 3:0 ADDSET[3:0]: Address setup phase duration
These bits are written by software to define the duration of the address setup phase (refer to
Figure 35 to Figure 47), used in SRAMs, ROMs, asynchronous NOR Flash and PSRAM:
0000: ADDSET phase duration = 0 × HCLK clock cycle
...
1111: ADDSET phase duration = 15 × HCLK clock cycles (default value after reset)
For each access mode address setup phase duration, refer to the respective figure
(Figure 35 to Figure 47).
Note: In synchronous accesses, this value is don’t care.
In Muxed mode or Mode D, the minimum value for ADDSET is 1.
In mode 1 and PSRAM memory, the minimum value for ADDSET is 1.

Note:

PSRAMs (CRAMs) have a variable latency due to internal refresh. Therefore these
memories issue the NWAIT signal during the whole latency phase to prolong the latency as
needed.
With PSRAMs (CRAMs) the filled DATLAT must be set to 0, so that the FMC exits its latency
phase soon and starts sampling NWAIT from memory, then starts to read or write when the
memory is ready.
This method can be used also with the latest generation of synchronous Flash memories
that issue the NWAIT signal, unlike older Flash memories (check the datasheet of the
specific Flash memory being used).

SRAM/NOR-Flash write timing registers 1..4 (FMC_BWTR1..4)
Address offset: 0x104 + 8 * (x – 1), x = 1...4
Reset value: 0x0FFF FFFF
This register contains the control information of each memory bank. It is used for SRAMs,
PSRAMs and NOR Flash memories. When the EXTMOD bit is set in the FMC_BCRx
register, then this register is active for write access.

Timing diagrams for NAND Flash memory
The NAND Flash memory bank is managed through a set of registers:
•

Control register: FMC_PCR

•

Interrupt status register: FMC_SR

•

ECC register: FMC_ECCR

•

Timing register for Common memory space: FMC_PMEM

•

Timing register for Attribute memory space: FMC_PATT

Each timing configuration register contains three parameters used to define number of
HCLK cycles for the three phases of any NAND Flash access, plus one parameter that
defines the timing for starting driving the data bus when a write access is performed.
Figure 53 shows the timing parameter definitions for common memory accesses, knowing
that Attribute memory space access timings are similar.

1. NOE remains high (inactive) during write accesses. NWE remains high (inactive) during read accesses.
2. For write access, the hold phase delay is (MEMHOLD) HCLK cycles and for read access is
(MEMHOLD + 2) HCLK cycles.

13.6.4

NAND Flash operations
The command latch enable (CLE) and address latch enable (ALE) signals of the NAND
Flash memory device are driven by address signals from the FMC controller. This means
that to send a command or an address to the NAND Flash memory, the CPU has to perform
a write to a specific address in its memory space.
A typical page read operation from the NAND Flash device requires the following steps:
1.

Program and enable the corresponding memory bank by configuring the FMC_PCR
and FMC_PMEM (and for some devices, FMC_PATT, see Section 13.6.5: NAND Flash
prewait functionality) registers according to the characteristics of the NAND Flash
memory (PWID bits for the data bus width of the NAND Flash, PTYP = 1, PWAITEN =
0 or 1 as needed, see Section 13.4.2: NAND Flash memory address mapping for
timing configuration).

2.

The CPU performs a byte write to the common memory space, with data byte equal to
one Flash command byte (for example 0x00 for Samsung NAND Flash devices). The
LE input of the NAND Flash memory is active during the write strobe (low pulse on
NWE), thus the written byte is interpreted as a command by the NAND Flash memory.
Once the command is latched by the memory device, it does not need to be written
again for the following page read operations.

3.

The CPU can send the start address (STARTAD) for a read operation by writing four
bytes (or three for smaller capacity devices), STARTAD[7:0], STARTAD[16:9],
STARTAD[24:17] and finally STARTAD[25] (for 64 Mb x 8 bit NAND Flash memories) in
the common memory or attribute space. The ALE input of the NAND Flash device is
active during the write strobe (low pulse on NWE), thus the written bytes are
interpreted as the start address for read operations. Using the attribute memory space
makes it possible to use a different timing configuration of the FMC, which can be used
to implement the prewait functionality needed by some NAND Flash memories (see

RM0385 Rev 8

355/1724
383

Flexible memory controller (FMC)

RM0385

details in Section 13.6.5: NAND Flash prewait functionality).

13.6.5

4.

The controller waits for the NAND Flash memory to be ready (R/NB signal high), before
starting a new access to the same or another memory bank. While waiting, the
controller holds the NCE signal active (low).

5.

The CPU can then perform byte read operations from the common memory space to
read the NAND Flash page (data field + Spare field) byte by byte.

6.

The next NAND Flash page can be read without any CPU command or address write
operation. This can be done in three different ways:
–

by simply performing the operation described in step 5

–

a new random address can be accessed by restarting the operation at step 3

–

a new command can be sent to the NAND Flash device by restarting at step 2

NAND Flash prewait functionality
Some NAND Flash devices require that, after writing the last part of the address, the
controller waits for the R/NB signal to go low. (see Figure 54).
Figure 54. Access to non ‘CE don’t care’ NAND-Flash

1. CPU wrote byte 0x00 at address 0x7001 0000.
2. CPU wrote byte A7~A0 at address 0x7002 0000.
3. CPU wrote byte A16~A9 at address 0x7002 0000.
4. CPU wrote byte A24~A17 at address 0x7002 0000.
5. CPU wrote byte A25 at address 0x7802 0000: FMC performs a write access using FMC_PATT timing
definition, where ATTHOLD ≥ 7 (providing that (7+1) × HCLK = 112 ns > tWB max). This guarantees that
NCE remains low until R/NB goes low and high again (only requested for NAND Flash memories where
NCE is not don’t care).

356/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Flexible memory controller (FMC)
When this functionality is required, it can be ensured by programming the MEMHOLD value
to meet the tWB timing. However any CPU read access to the NAND Flash memory has a
hold delay of (MEMHOLD + 2) HCLK cycles and CPU write access has a hold delay of
(MEMHOLD) HCLK cycles inserted between the rising edge of the NWE signal and the next
access.
To cope with this timing constraint, the attribute memory space can be used by
programming its timing register with an ATTHOLD value that meets the tWB timing, and by
keeping the MEMHOLD value at its minimum value. The CPU must then use the common
memory space for all NAND Flash read and write accesses, except when writing the last
address byte to the NAND Flash device, where the CPU must write to the attribute memory
space.

13.6.6

Computation of the error correction code (ECC)
in NAND Flash memory
The FMC NAND Card controller includes two error correction code computation hardware
blocks, one per memory bank. They reduce the host CPU workload when processing the
ECC by software.
These two ECC blocks are identical and associated with Bank 2 and Bank 3. As a
consequence, no hardware ECC computation is available for memories connected to Bank
4.
The ECC algorithm implemented in the FMC can perform 1-bit error correction and 2-bit
error detection per 256, 512, 1 024, 2 048, 4 096 or 8 192 bytes read or written from/to the
NAND Flash memory. It is based on the Hamming coding algorithm and consists in
calculating the row and column parity.
The ECC modules monitor the NAND Flash data bus and read/write signals (NCE and
NWE) each time the NAND Flash memory bank is active.
The ECC operates as follows:
•

When accessing NAND Flash memory bank 2 or bank 3, the data present on the
D[15:0] bus is latched and used for ECC computation.

•

When accessing any other address in NAND Flash memory, the ECC logic is idle, and
does not perform any operation. As a result, write operations to define commands or
addresses to the NAND Flash memory are not taken into account for ECC
computation.

Once the desired number of bytes has been read/written from/to the NAND Flash memory
by the host CPU, the FMC_ECCR registers must be read to retrieve the computed value.
Once read, they should be cleared by resetting the ECCEN bit to ‘0’. To compute a new data
block, the ECCEN bit must be set to one in the FMC_PCR registers.

RM0385 Rev 8

357/1724
383

Flexible memory controller (FMC)

RM0385

To perform an ECC computation:

13.6.7

1.

Enable the ECCEN bit in the FMC_PCR register.

2.

Write data to the NAND Flash memory page. While the NAND page is written, the ECC
block computes the ECC value.

3.

Read the ECC value available in the FMC_ECCR register and store it in a variable.

4.

Clear the ECCEN bit and then enable it in the FMC_PCR register before reading back
the written data from the NAND page. While the NAND page is read, the ECC block
computes the ECC value.

5.

Read the new ECC value available in the FMC_ECCR register.

6.

If the two ECC values are the same, no correction is required, otherwise there is an
ECC error and the software correction routine returns information on whether the error
can be corrected or not.

Reset value: 0x0000 0040
This register contains information about the FIFO status and interrupt. The FMC features a
FIFO that is used when writing to memories to transfer up to 16 words of data from the AHB.
This is used to quickly write to the FIFO and free the AHB for transactions to peripherals
other than the FMC, while the FMC is draining its FIFO into the memory. One of these
register bits indicates the status of the FIFO, for ECC purposes.
The ECC is calculated while the data are written to the memory. To read the correct ECC,
the software must consequently wait until the FIFO is empty.

ECC result registers (FMC_ECCR)
Address offset: 0x94
Reset value: 0x0000 0000
This register contain the current error correction code value computed by the ECC
computation modules of the FMC NAND controller. When the CPU reads the data from a
NAND Flash memory page at the correct address (refer to Section 13.6.6: Computation of
the error correction code (ECC) in NAND Flash memory), the data read/written from/to the
NAND Flash memory are processed automatically by the ECC computation module. When
X bytes have been read (according to the ECCPS field in the FMC_PCR registers), the CPU
must read the computed ECC value from the FMC_ECC registers. It then verifies if these
computed parity data are the same as the parity value recorded in the spare area, to
determine whether a page is valid, and, to correct it otherwise. The FMC_ECCR register
should be cleared after being read by setting the ECCEN bit to ‘0’. To compute a new data
block, the ECCEN bit must be set to ’1’.

13.7.3

Flexible memory controller (FMC)

SDRAM controller functional description
All SDRAM controller outputs (signals, address and data) change on the falling edge of the
memory clock (FMC_SDCLK).

SDRAM initialization
The initialization sequence is managed by software. If the two banks are used, the
initialization sequence must be generated simultaneously to Bank 1and Bank 2 by setting
the Target Bank bits CTB1 and CTB2 in the FMC_SDCMR register:
1.

Program the memory device features into the FMC_SDCRx register. The SDRAM
clock frequency, RBURST and RPIPE must be programmed in the FMC_SDCR1
register.

2.

Program the memory device timing into the FMC_SDTRx register. The TRP and TRC
timings must be programmed in the FMC_SDTR1 register.

3.

Set MODE bits to ‘001’ and configure the Target Bank bits (CTB1 and/or CTB2) in the
FMC_SDCMR register to start delivering the clock to the memory (SDCKE is driven
high).

4.

Wait during the prescribed delay period. Typical delay is around 100 μs (refer to the
SDRAM datasheet for the required delay after power-up).

5.

Set MODE bits to ‘010’ and configure the Target Bank bits (CTB1 and/or CTB2) in the
FMC_SDCMR register to issue a “Precharge All” command.

6.

Set MODE bits to ‘011’, and configure the Target Bank bits (CTB1 and/or CTB2) as well
as the number of consecutive Auto-refresh commands (NRFS) in the FMC_SDCMR
register. Refer to the SDRAM datasheet for the number of Auto-refresh commands that
should be issued. Typical number is 8.

7.

Configure the MRD field according to the SDRAM device, set the MODE bits to '100',
and configure the Target Bank bits (CTB1 and/or CTB2) in the FMC_SDCMR register
to issue a "Load Mode Register" command in order to program the SDRAM device.
In particular:
a)

the CAS latency must be selected following configured value in FMC_SDCR1/2
registers

b)

the Burst Length (BL) of 1 must be selected by configuring the M[2:0] bits to 000 in
the mode register. Refer to SDRAM device datasheet.

If the Mode Register is not the same for both SDRAM banks, this step has to be
repeated twice, once for each bank, and the Target Bank bits set accordingly.
8.

Program the refresh rate in the FMC_SDRTR register
The refresh rate corresponds to the delay between refresh cycles. Its value must be
adapted to SDRAM devices.

9.

For mobile SDRAM devices, to program the extended mode register it should be done
once the SDRAM device is initialized: First, a dummy read access should be performed
while BA1=1 and BA=0 (refer to SDRAM address mapping section for BA[1:0] address
mapping) in order to select the extended mode register instead of the load mode
register and then program the needed value.

At this stage the SDRAM device is ready to accept commands. If a system reset occurs
during an ongoing SDRAM access, the data bus might still be driven by the SDRAM device.
Therefor the SDRAM device must be first reinitialized after reset before issuing any new
access by the NOR Flash/PSRAM/SRAM or NAND Flash controller.

365/1724

Flexible memory controller (FMC)
Note:

RM0385

If two SDRAM devices are connected to the FMC, all the accesses performed at the same
time to both devices by the Command Mode register (Load Mode Register command) are
issued using the timing parameters configured for SDRAM Bank 1 (TMRD andTRAS
timings) in the FMC_SDTR1 register.

SDRAM controller write cycle
The SDRAM controller accepts single and burst write requests and translates them into
single memory accesses. In both cases, the SDRAM controller keeps track of the active row
for each bank to be able to perform consecutive write accesses to different banks (Multibank
ping-pong access).
Before performing any write access, the SDRAM bank write protection must be disabled by
clearing the WP bit in the FMC_SDCRx register.

The SDRAM controller always checks the next access.
•

If the next access is in the same row or in another active row, the write operation is
carried out,

•

if the next access targets another row (not active), the SDRAM controller generates a
precharge command, activates the new row and initiates a write command.

SDRAM controller read cycle
The SDRAM controller accepts single and burst read requests and translates them into
single memory accesses. In both cases, the SDRAM controller keeps track of the active row
in each bank to be able to perform consecutive read accesses in different banks (Multibank
ping-pong access).

The FMC SDRAM controller features a Cacheable read FIFO (6 lines x 32 bits). It is used to
store data read in advance during the CAS latency period and the RPIPE delay following the
below formula. The RBURST bit must be set in the FMC_SDCR1 register to anticipate the
next read access.
Number for anticipated data = CAS latency + 1 + (RPIPE delay)/2
Examples:
•

CAS latency = 3, RPIPE delay = 0: Four data (not committed) are stored in the FIFO.

•

CAS latency = 3, RPIPE delay = 2: Five data (not committed) are stored in the FIFO.

The read FIFO features a 14-bit address tag to each line to identify its content: 11 bits for the
column address, 2 bits to select the internal bank and the active row, and 1 bit to select the
SDRAM device
When the end of the row is reached in advance during an AHB burst read, the data read in
advance (not committed) are not stored in the read FIFO. For single read access, data are
correctly stored in the FIFO.
Each time a read request occurs, the SDRAM controller checks:
•

If the address matches one of the address tags, data are directly read from the FIFO
and the corresponding address tag/ line content is cleared and the remaining data in
the FIFO are compacted to avoid empty lines.

•

Otherwise, a new read command is issued to the memory and the FIFO is updated with
new data. If the FIFO is full, the older data are lost.

During a write access or a Precharge command, the read FIFO is flushed and ready to be
filled with new data.
After the first read request, if the current access was not performed to a row boundary, the
SDRAM controller anticipates the next read access during the CAS latency period and the
RPIPE delay (if configured). This is done by incrementing the memory address. The
following condition must be met:
•

368/1724

RBURST control bit should be set to ‘1’ in the FMC_SDCR1 register.

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Flexible memory controller (FMC)
The address management depends on the next AHB request:
•

Next AHB request is sequential (AHB Burst)
In this case, the SDRAM controller increments the address.

•

Next AHB request is not sequential
–

If the new read request targets the same row or another active row, the new
address is passed to the memory and the master is stalled for the CAS latency
period, waiting for the new data from memory.

–

If the new read request does not target an active row, the SDRAM controller
generates a Precharge command, activates the new row, and initiates a read
command.

If the RURST is reset, the read FIFO is not used.

Row and bank boundary management
When a read or write access crosses a row boundary, if the next read or write access is
sequential and the current access was performed to a row boundary, the SDRAM controller
executes the following operations:
1.

Precharge of the active row,

2.

Activation of the new row

3.

Start of a read/write command.

At a row boundary, the automatic activation of the next row is supported for all columns and
data bus width configurations.
If necessary, the SDRAM controller inserts additional clock cycles between the following
commands:
•

Between Precharge and Active commands to match TRP parameter (only if the next
access is in a different row in the same bank),

•

Between Active and Read commands to match the TRCD parameter.

These parameters are defined into the FMC_SDTRx register.
Refer to Figure 55 and Figure 56 for read and burst write access crossing a row boundary.

Flexible memory controller (FMC)
If the next access is sequential and the current access crosses a bank boundary, the
SDRAM controller activates the first row in the next bank and initiates a new read/write
command. Two cases are possible:
•

If the current bank is not the last one, the active row in the new bank must be
precharged.At a bank boundary, the automatic activation of the next row is supported
for all rows/columns and data bus width configuration.

•

If the current bank is the last one, the automatic activation of the next row is supported
only when addressing 13-bit rows, 11-bit columns, 4 internal banks and 32-bit data bus
SDRAM devices. Otherwise, the SDRAM address range is violated and an AHB error is
generated.

•

In case of 13-bit row address, 11-bit column address, 4 internal banks and bus width
32-bit SDRAM memories, at boundary bank, the SDRAM controller continues to
read/write from the second SDRAM device (assuming it has been initialized):
a)

The SDRAM controller activates the first row (after precharging the active row, if
there is already an active row in the first internal bank, and initiates a new
read/write command.

b)

If the first row is already activated, the SDRAM controller just initiates a read/write
command.

SDRAM controller refresh cycle
The Auto-refresh command is used to refresh the SDRAM device content. The SDRAM
controller periodically issues auto-refresh commands. An internal counter is loaded with the
COUNT value in the register FMC_SDRTR. This value defines the number of memory clock
cycles between the refresh cycles (refresh rate). When this counter reaches zero, an
internal pulse is generated.
If a memory access is ongoing, the auto-refresh request is delayed. However, if the memory
access and the auto-refresh requests are generated simultaneously, the auto-refresh
request takes precedence.
If the memory access occurs during an auto-refresh operation, the request is buffered and
processed when the auto-refresh is complete.
If a new auto-refresh request occurs while the previous one was not served, the RE
(Refresh Error) bit is set in the Status register. An Interrupt is generated if it has been
enabled (REIE = ‘1’).
If SDRAM lines are not in idle state (not all row are closed), the SDRAM controller generates
a PALL (Precharge ALL) command before the auto-refresh.
If the Auto-refresh command is generated by the FMC_SDCMR Command Mode register
(Mode bits = ‘011’), a PALL command (Mode bits =’ 010’) must be issued first.

13.7.4

Low-power modes
Two low-power modes are available:
•

Self-refresh mode
The auto-refresh cycles are performed by the SDRAM device itself to retain data
without external clocking.

•

Power-down mode
The auto-refresh cycles are performed by the SDRAM controller.

RM0385 Rev 8

371/1724
383

Flexible memory controller (FMC)

RM0385

Self-refresh mode
This mode is selected by setting the MODE bits to ‘101’ and by configuring the Target Bank
bits (CTB1 and/or CTB2) in the FMC_SDCMR register.
The SDRAM clock stops running after a TRAS delay and the internal refresh timer stops
counting only if one of the following conditions is met:
•

A Self-refresh command is issued to both devices

•

One of the devices is not activated (SDRAM bank is not initialized).

Before entering Self-Refresh mode, the SDRAM controller automatically issues a PALL
command.
If the Write data FIFO is not empty, all data are sent to the memory before activating the
Self-refresh mode and the BUSY status flag remains set.
In Self-refresh mode, all SDRAM device inputs become don’t care except for SDCKE which
remains low.
The SDRAM device must remain in Self-refresh mode for a minimum period of time of
TRAS and can remain in Self-refresh mode for an indefinite period beyond that. To
guarantee this minimum period, the BUSY status flag remains high after the Self-refresh
activation during a TRAS delay.
As soon as an SDRAM device is selected, the SDRAM controller generates a sequence of
commands to exit from Self-refresh mode. After the memory access, the selected device
remains in Normal mode.
To exit from Self-refresh, the MODE bits must be set to ‘000’ (Normal mode) and the Target
Bank bits (CTB1 and/or CTB2) must be configured in the FMC_SDCMR register.

If the Write data FIFO is not empty, all data are sent to the memory before activating the
Power-down mode.
As soon as an SDRAM device is selected, the SDRAM controller exits from the Power-down
mode. After the memory access, the selected SDRAM device remains in Normal mode.
During Power-down mode, all SDRAM device input and output buffers are deactivated
except for the SDCKE which remains low.
The SDRAM device cannot remain in Power-down mode longer than the refresh period and
cannot perform the Auto-refresh cycles by itself. Therefore, the SDRAM controller carries
out the refresh operation by executing the operations below:
1.

Exit from Power-down mode and drive the SDCKE high

2.

Generate the PALL command only if a row was active during Power-down mode

3.

Generate the auto-refresh command

4.

Drive SDCKE low again to return to Power-down mode.

To exit from Power-down mode, the MODE bits must be set to ‘000’ (Normal mode) and the
Target Bank bits (CTB1 and/or CTB2) must be configured in the FMC_SDCMR register.

datasheet, and to guarantee that:
TWR ≥ TRAS - TRCD and TWR ≥TRC - TRCD - TRP
Example: TRAS= 4 cycles, TRCD= 2 cycles. So, TWR >= 2 cycles. TWR must be
programmed to 0x1.
If two SDRAM devices are used, the FMC_SDTR1 and FMC_SDTR2 must be programmed
with the same TWR timing corresponding to the slowest SDRAM device.

0001: 2 cycles
....
1111: 16 cycles

Note:

If two SDRAM devices are connected, all the accesses performed simultaneously to both
devices by the Command Mode register (Load Mode Register command) are issued using
the timing parameters configured for Bank 1 (TMRD and TRAS timings) in the FMC_SDTR1
register.
The TRP and TRC timings are only configured in the FMC_SDTR1 register. If two SDRAM
devices are used, the TRP and TRC timings must be programmed with the timings of the

SDRAM Command Mode register (FMC_SDCMR)
Address offset: 0x150
Reset value: 0x0000 0000
This register contains the command issued when the SDRAM device is accessed. This
register is used to initialize the SDRAM device, and to activate the Self-refresh and the
Power-down modes. As soon as the MODE field is written, the command will be issued only
to one or to both SDRAM banks according to CTB1 and CTB2 command bits. This register
is the same for both SDRAM banks.

SDRAM Refresh Timer register (FMC_SDRTR)
Address offset:0x154
Reset value: 0x0000 0000
This register sets the refresh rate in number of SDCLK clock cycles between the refresh
cycles by configuring the Refresh Timer Count value.
Refresh rate = ( COUNT + 1 ) × SDRAM clock frequency
COUNT = ( SDRAM refresh period ⁄ Number of rows ) – 20

Example
Refresh rate = 64 ms ⁄ ( 8196rows ) = 7.81μs
where 64 ms is the SDRAM refresh period.

RM0385 Rev 8

379/1724
383

Flexible memory controller (FMC)

RM0385
7.81μs × 60MHz = 468.6

The refresh rate must be increased by 20 SDRAM clock cycles (as in the above example) to
obtain a safe margin if an internal refresh request occurs when a read request has been
accepted. It corresponds to a COUNT value of ‘0000111000000’ (448).
This 13-bit field is loaded into a timer which is decremented using the SDRAM clock. This
timer generates a refresh pulse when zero is reached. The COUNT value must be set at
least to 41 SDRAM clock cycles.
As soon as the FMC_SDRTR register is programmed, the timer starts counting. If the value
programmed in the register is ’0’, no refresh is carried out. This register must not be
reprogrammed after the initialization procedure to avoid modifying the refresh rate.
Each time a refresh pulse is generated, this 13-bit COUNT field is reloaded into the counter.
If a memory access is in progress, the Auto-refresh request is delayed. However, if the
memory access and Auto-refresh requests are generated simultaneously, the Auto-refresh
takes precedence. If the memory access occurs during a refresh operation, the request is
buffered to be processed when the refresh is complete.
This register is common to SDRAM bank 1 and bank 2.

Quad-SPI interface (QUADSPI)

14.1

Introduction
The QUADSPI is a specialized communication interface targeting single, dual or quad SPI
Flash memories. It can operate in any of the three following modes:
•

indirect mode: all the operations are performed using the QUADSPI registers

•

status polling mode: the external Flash memory status register is periodically read and
an interrupt can be generated in case of flag setting

•

memory-mapped mode: the external Flash memory is mapped to the microcontroller
address space and is seen by the system as if it was an internal memory

Both throughput and capacity can be increased two-fold using dual-flash mode, where two
Quad-SPI Flash memories are accessed simultaneously.

14.2

QUADSPI main features
•

Three functional modes: indirect, status-polling, and memory-mapped

•

Dual-flash mode, where 8 bits can be sent/received simultaneously by accessing two
Flash memories in parallel.

•

SDR and DDR support

•

Fully programmable opcode for both indirect and memory mapped mode

•

Fully programmable frame format for both indirect and memory mapped mode

•

Integrated FIFO for reception and transmission

•

8, 16, and 32-bit data accesses are allowed

•

DMA channel for indirect mode operations

•

Interrupt generation on FIFO threshold, timeout, operation complete, and access error

QUADSPI command sequence
The QUADSPI communicates with the Flash memory using commands. Each command
can include 5 phases: instruction, address, alternate byte, dummy, data. Any of these
phases can be configured to be skipped, but at least one of the instruction, address,
alternate byte, or data phase must be present.
nCS falls before the start of each command and rises again after each command finishes.

Instruction phase
During this phase, an 8-bit instruction, configured in INSTRUCTION field of
QUADSPI_CCR[7:0] register, is sent to the Flash memory, specifying the type of operation
to be performed.
Though most Flash memories can receive instructions only one bit at a time from the
IO0/SO signal (single SPI mode), the instruction phase can optionally send 2 bits at a time
(over IO0/IO1 in dual SPI mode) or 4 bits at a time (over IO0/IO1/IO2/IO3 in quad SPI
mode). This can be configured using the IMODE[1:0] field of QUADSPI_CCR[9:8] register.
When IMODE = 00, the instruction phase is skipped, and the command sequence starts
with the address phase, if present.

Address phase
In the address phase, 1-4 bytes are sent to the Flash memory to indicate the address of the
operation. The number of address bytes to be sent is configured in the ADSIZE[1:0] field of
QUADSPI_CCR[13:12] register. In indirect and automatic-polling modes, the address bytes
to be sent are specified in the ADDRESS[31:0] field of QUADSPI_AR register, while in
memory-mapped mode the address is given directly via the AHB (from the Cortex® or from
a DMA).
The address phase can send 1 bit at a time (over SO in single SPI mode), 2 bits at a time
(over IO0/IO1 in dual SPI mode), or 4 bits at a time (over IO0/IO1/IO2/IO3 in quad SPI
mode). This can be configured using the ADMODE[1:0] field of QUADSPI_CCR[11:10]
register.
When ADMODE = 00, the address phase is skipped, and the command sequence proceeds
directly to the next phase, if any.

386/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Quad-SPI interface (QUADSPI)

Alternate-bytes phase
In the alternate-bytes phase, 1-4 bytes are sent to the Flash memory, generally to control
the mode of operation. The number of alternate bytes to be sent is configured in the
ABSIZE[1:0] field of QUADSPI_CCR[17:16] register. The bytes to be sent are specified in
the QUADSPI_ABR register.
The alternate-bytes phase can send 1 bit at a time (over SO in single SPI mode), 2 bits at a
time (over IO0/IO1 in dual SPI mode), or 4 bits at a time (over IO0/IO1/IO2/IO3 in quad SPI
mode). This can be configured using the ABMODE[1:0] field of QUADSPI_CCR[15:14]
register.
When ABMODE = 00, the alternate-bytes phase is skipped, and the command sequence
proceeds directly to the next phase, if any.
There may be times when only a single nibble needs to be sent during the alternate-byte
phase rather than a full byte, such as when dual-mode is used and only two cycles are used
for the alternate bytes. In this case, firmware can use quad-mode (ABMODE = 11) and send
a byte with bits 7 and 3 of ALTERNATE set to ‘1’ (keeping the IO3 line high), and bits 6 and
2 set to ‘0’ (keeping the IO2 line low). In this case the upper two bits of the nibble to be sent
are placed in bits 4:3 of ALTERNATE while the lower two bits are placed in bits 1 and 0. For
example, if the nibble 2 (0010) is to be sent over IO0/IO1, then ALTERNATE should be set
to 0x8A (1000_1010).

Dummy-cycles phase
In the dummy-cycles phase, 1-31 cycles are given without any data being sent or received,
in order to allow the Flash memory the time to prepare for the data phase when higher clock
frequencies are used. The number of cycles given during this phase is specified in the
DCYC[4:0] field of QUADSPI_CCR[22:18] register. In both SDR and DDR modes, the
duration is specified as a number of full CLK cycles.
When DCYC is zero, the dummy-cycles phase is skipped, and the command sequence
proceeds directly to the data phase, if present.
The operating mode of the dummy-cycles phase is determined by DMODE.
In order to assure enough “turn-around” time for changing the data signals from output
mode to input mode, there must be at least one dummy cycle when using dual or quad
mode to receive data from the Flash memory.

Data phase
During the data phase, any number of bytes can be sent to, or received from the Flash
memory.
In indirect and automatic-polling modes, the number of bytes to be sent/received is specified
in the QUADSPI_DLR register.
In indirect write mode the data to be sent to the Flash memory must be written to the
QUADSPI_DR register, while in indirect read mode the data received from the Flash
memory is obtained by reading from the QUADSPI_DR register.
In memory-mapped mode, the data which is read is sent back directly over the AHB to the
Cortex or to a DMA.
The data phase can send/receive 1 bit at a time (over SO/SI in single SPI mode), 2 bits at a
time (over IO0/IO1 in dual SPI mode), or 4 bits at a time (over IO0/IO1/IO2/IO3 in quad SPI

RM0385

mode). This can be configured using the ABMODE[1:0] field of QUADSPI_CCR[15:14]
register.
When DMODE = 00, the data phase is skipped, and the command sequence finishes
immediately by raising nCS. This configuration must only be used in only indirect write
mode.

14.3.4

QUADSPI signal interface protocol modes
Single SPI mode
Legacy SPI mode allows just a single bit to be sent/received serially. In this mode, data is
sent to the Flash memory over the SO signal (whose I/O shared with IO0). Data received
from the Flash memory arrives via SI (whose I/O shared with IO1).
The different phases can each be configured separately to use this single bit mode by
setting the IMODE/ADMODE/ABMODE/DMODE fields (in QUADSPI_CCR) to 01.
In each phase which is configured in single mode:
•

IO0 (SO) is in output mode

•

IO1 (SI) is in input mode (high impedance)

•

IO2 is in output mode and forced to ‘0’ (to deactivate the “write protect” function)

•

IO3 is in output mode and forced to ‘1’ (to deactivate the “hold” function)

This is the case even for the dummy phase if DMODE = 01.

Dual SPI mode
In dual SPI mode, two bits are sent/received simultaneously over the IO0/IO1 signals.
The different phases can each be configured separately to use dual SPI mode by setting the
IMODE/ADMODE/ABMODE/DMODE fields of QUADSPI_CCR register to 10.
In each phase which is configured in dual mode:
•

IO0/IO1 are at high-impedance (input) during the data phase for read operations, and
outputs in all other cases

•

IO2 is in output mode and forced to ‘0’

•

IO3 is in output mode and forced to ‘1’

In the dummy phase when DMODE = 01, IO0/IO1 are always high-impedance.

Quad SPI mode
In quad SPI mode, four bits are sent/received simultaneously over the IO0/IO1/IO2/IO3
signals.
The different phases can each be configured separately to use quad SPI mode by setting
the IMODE/ADMODE/ABMODE/DMODE fields of QUADSPI_CCR register to 11.
In each phase which is configured in quad mode, IO0/IO1/IO2/IO3 are all are at highimpedance (input) during the data phase for read operations, and outputs in all other cases.
In the dummy phase when DMODE = 11, IO0/IO1/IO2/IO3 are all high-impedance.
IO2 and IO3 are used only in Quad SPI mode. If none of the phases are configured to use
Quad SPI mode, then the pins corresponding to IO2 and IO3 can be used for other functions
even while QUADSPI is active.

Quad-SPI interface (QUADSPI)

SDR mode
By default, the DDRM bit (QUADSPI_CCR[31]) is 0 and the QUADSPI operates in single
data rate (SDR) mode.
In SDR mode, when the QUADSPI is driving the IO0/SO, IO1, IO2, IO3 signals, these
signals transition only with the falling edge of CLK.
When receiving data in SDR mode, the QUADSPI assumes that the Flash memories also
send the data using CLK’s falling edge. By default (when SSHIFT = 0), the signals are
sampled using the following (rising) edge of CLK.

DDR mode
When the DDRM bit (QUADSPI_CCR[31]) is set to 1, the QUADSPI operates in double data
rate (DDR) mode.
In DDR mode, when the QUADSPI is driving the IO0/SO, IO1, IO2, IO3 signals in the
address/alternate-byte/data phases, a bit is sent on each of the falling and rising edges of
CLK.
The instruction phase is not affected by DDRM. The instruction is always sent using CLK’s
falling edge.
When receiving data in DDR mode, the QUADSPI assumes that the Flash memories also
send the data using both rising and falling CLK edges. When DDRM = 1, firmware must
clear SSHIFT bit (bit 4 of QUADSPI_CR). Thus, the signals are sampled one half of a CLK
cycle later (on the following, opposite edge).

Dual-flash mode
When the DFM bit (bit 6 of QUADSPI_CR) is 1, the QUADSPI is in dual-flash mode, where
two external quad SPI Flash memories (FLASH 1 and FLASH 2) are used in order to
send/receive 8 bits (or 16 bits in DDR mode) every cycle, effectively doubling the throughput
as well as the capacity.
Each of the Flash memories use the same CLK and optionally the same nCS signals, but
each have separate IO0, IO1, IO2, and IO3 signals.
Dual-flash mode can be used in conjunction with single-bit, dual-bit, and quad-bit modes, as
well as with either SDR or DDR mode.

RM0385 Rev 8

389/1724

Quad-SPI interface (QUADSPI)

RM0385

The Flash memory size, as specified in FSIZE[4:0] (QUADSPI_DCR[20:16]), should reflect
the total Flash memory capacity, which is double the size of one individual component.
If address X is even, then the byte which the QUADSPI gives for address X is the byte at the
address X/2 of FLASH 1, and the byte which the QUADSPI gives for address X+1 is the
byte at the address X/2 of FLASH 2. In other words, bytes at even addresses are all stored
in FLASH 1 and bytes at odd addresses are all stored in FLASH 2.
When reading the Flash memories status registers in dual-flash mode, twice as many bytes
should be read compared to doing the same read in single-flash mode. This means that if
each Flash memory gives 8 valid bits after the instruction for fetching the status register,
then the QUADSPI must be configured with a data length of 2 bytes (16 bits), and the
QUADSPI will receive one byte from each Flash memory. If each Flash memory gives a
status of 16 bits, then the QUADSPI must be configured to read 4 bytes to get all the status
bits of both Flash memories in dual-flash mode. The least-significant byte of the result (in
the data register) is the least-significant byte of FLASH 1 status register, while the next byte
is the least-significant byte of FLASH 2 status register. Then, the third byte of the data
register is FLASH 1 second byte, while the forth byte is FLASH 2 second byte (in the case
that the Flash memories have 16-bit status registers).
An even number of bytes must always be accessed in dual-flash mode. For this reason, bit
0 of the data length field (QUADSPI_DLR[0]) is stuck at 1 when DRM = 1.
In dual-flash mode, the behavior of FLASH 1 interface signals are basically the same as in
normal mode. FLASH 2 interface signals have exactly the same waveforms as FLASH 1
during the instruction, address, alternate-byte, and dummy-cycles phases. In other words,
each Flash memory always receives the same instruction and the same address. Then,
during the data phase, the BK1_IOx and BK2_IOx buses are both transferring data in
parallel, but the data that are sent to (or received from) FLASH 1 are distinct from those of
FLASH 2.

14.3.5

QUADSPI indirect mode
When in indirect mode, commands are started by writing to QUADSPI registers and data is
transferred by writing or reading the data register, in the same way as for other
communication peripherals.
When FMODE = 00 (QUADSPI_CCR[27:26]), the QUADSPI is in indirect write mode,
where bytes are sent to the Flash memory during the data phase. Data are provided by
writing to the data register (QUADSPI_DR).
When FMODE = 01, the QUADSPI is in indirect read mode, where bytes are received from
the Flash memory during the data phase. Data are recovered by reading QUADSPI_DR.
The number of bytes to be read/written is specified in the data length register
(QUADSPI_DLR). If QUADSPI_DLR = 0xFFFF_FFFF (all 1’s), then the data length is
considered undefined and the QUADSPI simply continues to transfer data until the end of
Flash memory (as defined by FSIZE) is reached. If no bytes are to be transferred, DMODE
(QUADSPI_CCR[25:24]) should be set to 00.
If QUADSPI_DLR = 0xFFFF_FFFF and FSIZE = 0x1F (max value indicating a 4GB Flash
memory), then in this special case the transfers continue indefinitely, stopping only after an
abort request or after the QUADSPI is disabled. After the last memory address is read (at
address 0xFFFF_FFFF), reading continues with address = 0x0000_0000.
When the programmed number of bytes to be transmitted or received is reached, TCF is set
and an interrupt is generated if TCIE = 1. In the case of undefined number of data, the TCF

390/1724

Quad-SPI interface (QUADSPI)
is set when the limit of the external SPI memory is reached according to the Flash memory
size defined in the QUADSPI_CR.

Triggering the start of a command
Essentially, a command starts as soon as firmware gives the last information that is
necessary for this command. Depending on the QUADSPI configuration, there are three
different ways to trigger the start of a command in indirect mode. The commands starts
immediately after:
1.

a write is performed to INSTRUCTION[7:0] (QUADSPI_CCR), if no address is
necessary (when ADMODE = 00) and if no data needs to be provided by the firmware
(when FMODE = 01 or DMODE = 00)

2.

a write is performed to ADDRESS[31:0] (QUADSPI_AR), if an address is necessary
(when ADMODE != 00) and if no data needs to be provided by the firmware (when
FMODE = 01 or DMODE = 00)

3.

a write is performed to DATA[31:0] (QUADSPI_DR), if an address is necessary (when
ADMODE != 00) and if data needs to be provided by the firmware (when FMODE = 00
and DMODE != 00)

Writes to the alternate byte register (QUADSPI_ABR) never trigger the communication start.
If alternate bytes are required, they must be programmed before.
As soon as a command is started, the BUSY bit (bit 5 of QUADSPI_SR) is automatically set.

FIFO and data management
In indirect mode, data go through a 32-byte FIFO which is internal to the QUADSPI.
FLEVEL[5:0] (QUADSPI_SR[13:8]) indicates how many bytes are currently being held in
the FIFO.
In indirect write mode (FMODE = 00), firmware adds data to the FIFO when it writes
QUADSPI_DR. Word writes add 4 bytes to the FIFO, halfword writes add 2 bytes, and byte
writes add only 1 byte. If firmware adds too many bytes to the FIFO (more than is indicated
by DL[31:0]), the extra bytes are flushed from the FIFO at the end of the write operation
(when TCF is set).
Byte/halfword accesses to QUADSPI_DR must be done only to the least significant
byte/halfword of the 32-bit register.
FTHRES[3:0] is used to define a FIFO threshold. When the threshold is reached, the FTF
(FIFO threshold flag) is set. In indirect read mode, FTF is set when the number of valid
bytes to be read from the FIFO is above the threshold. FTF is also set if there are data in the
FIFO after the last byte is read from the Flash memory, regardless of the FTHRES setting.
In indirect write mode, FTF is set when the number of empty bytes in the FIFO is above the
threshold.
If FTIE = 1, there is an interrupt when FTF is set. If DMAEN = 1, a DMA transfer is initiated
when FTF is set. FTF is cleared by HW as soon as the threshold condition is no longer true
(after enough data has been transferred by the CPU or DMA).
In indirect read mode, when the FIFO becomes full, the QUADSPI temporarily stops reading
bytes from the Flash memory to avoid an overrun. Note that the reading of the Flash
memory does not restart until 4 bytes become vacant in the FIFO (when FLEVEL ≤ 28).
Thus, when FTHRES ≥ 29, the application must take care to read enough bytes to assure
that the QUADSPI starts retrieving data from the Flash memory again. Otherwise, the FTF
flag stays at '0' as long as 28 < FLEVEL < FTHRES.

QUADSPI status flag polling mode
In automatic-polling mode, the QUADSPI periodically starts a command to read a defined
number of status bytes (up to 4). The received bytes can be masked to isolate some status
bits and an interrupt can be generated when the selected bits have a defined value.
The accesses to the Flash memory begin in the same way as in indirect read mode: if no
address is required (AMODE = 00), accesses begin as soon as the QUADSPI_CCR is
written. Otherwise, if an address is required, the first access begins when QUADSPI_AR is
written. BUSY goes high at this point and stays high even between the periodic accesses.
The contents of MASK[31:0] (QUADSPI_PSMAR) are used to mask the data from the Flash
memory in automatic-polling mode. If the MASK[n] = 0, then bit n of the result is masked
and not considered. If MASK[n] = 1, and the content of bit[n] is the same as MATCH[n]
(QUADSPI_PSMAR), then there is a match for bit n.
If the polling match mode bit (PMM, bit 23 of QUADSPI_CR) is 0, then “AND” match mode is
activated. This means status match flag (SMF) is set only when there is a match on all of the
unmasked bits.
If PMM = 1, then “OR” match mode is activated. This means SMF is set if there is a match
on any of the unmasked bits.
An interrupt is called when SMF is set if SMIE = 1.
If the automatic-polling-mode-stop (APMS) bit is set, operation stops and BUSY goes to 0
as soon as a match is detected. Otherwise, BUSY stays at ‘1’ and the periodic accesses
continue until there is an abort or the QUADSPI is disabled (EN = 0).
The data register (QUADSPI_DR) contains the latest received status bytes (the FIFO is
deactivated). The content of the data register is not affected by the masking used in the
matching logic. The FTF status bit is set as soon as a new reading of the status is complete,
and FTF is cleared as soon as the data is read.

14.3.7

QUADSPI memory-mapped mode
When configured in memory-mapped mode, the external SPI device is seen as an internal
memory.
It is forbidden to access QUADSPI Flash bank area before having properly configured and
enabled the QUADSPI peripheral.
No more than 256MB can addressed even if the Flash memory capacity is larger.
If an access is made to an address outside of the range defined by FSIZE but still within the
256MB range, then a bus error is given. The effect of this error depends on the bus master
that attempted the access:
•

If it is the Cortex® CPU, bus fault exception is generated when enabled (or a hard fault
exception when bus fault is disabled)

•

If it is a DMA, a DMA transfer error is generated and the corresponding DMA channel is
automatically disabled.

Byte, halfword, and word access types are all supported.
Support for execute in place (XIP) operation is implemented, where the QUADSPI
anticipates the next microcontroller access and load in advance the byte at the following
address. If the subsequent access is indeed made at a continuous address, the access will
be completed faster since the value is already prefetched.

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Quad-SPI interface (QUADSPI)
By default, the QUADSPI never stops its prefetch operation, keeping the previous read
operation active with nCS maintained low, even if no access to the Flash memory occurs for
a long time. Since Flash memories tend to consume more when nCS is held low, the
application might want to activate the timeout counter (TCEN = 1, bit 3 of QUADSPI_CR) so
that nCS is released after a period of TIMEOUT[15:0] (QUADSPI_LPTR) cycles have
elapsed without any access since when the FIFO becomes full with prefetch data.
BUSY goes high as soon as the first memory-mapped access occurs. Because of the
prefetch operations, BUSY does not fall until there is a timeout, there is an abort, or the
peripheral is disabled.

14.3.8

QUADSPI Flash memory configuration
The device configuration register (QUADSPI_DCR) can be used to specify the
characteristics of the external SPI Flash memory.
The FSIZE[4:0] field defines the size of external memory using the following formula:
Number of bytes in Flash memory = 2[FSIZE+1]
FSIZE+1 is effectively the number of address bits required to address the Flash memory.
The Flash memory capacity can be up to 4GB (addressed using 32 bits) in indirect mode,
but the addressable space in memory-mapped mode is limited to 256MB.
If DFM = 1, FSIZE indicates the total capacity of the two Flash memories together.
When the QUADSPI executes two commands, one immediately after the other, it raises the
chip select signal (nCS) high between the two commands for only one CLK cycle by default.
If the Flash memory requires more time between commands, the chip select high time
(CSHT) field can be used to specify the minimum number of CLK cycles (up to 8) that nCS
must remain high.
The clock mode (CKMODE) bit indicates the CLK signal logic level in between commands
(when nCS = 1).

14.3.9

QUADSPI delayed data sampling
By default, the QUADSPI samples the data driven by the Flash memory one half of a CLK
cycle after the Flash memory drives the signal.
In case of external signal delays, it may be beneficial to sample the data later. Using the
SSHIFT bit (bit 4 of QUADSPI_CR), the sampling of the data can be shifted by half of a CLK
cycle.
Clock shifting is not supported in DDR mode: the SSHIFT bit must be clear when DDRM bit
is set.

14.3.10

QUADSPI configuration
The QUADSPI configuration is done in two phases:
•

QUADSPI IP configuration

•

QUADSPI Flash memory configuration

Once configured and enabled, the QUADSPI can be used in one of its three operating
modes: indirect mode, status-polling mode, or memory-mapped mode.
QUADSPI IP configuration

RM0385 Rev 8

393/1724
412

Quad-SPI interface (QUADSPI)

RM0385

The QUADSPI IP is configured using the QUADSPI_CR. The user shall configure the clock
prescaler division factor and the sample shifting settings for the incoming data.
DDR mode can be set through the DDRM bit. Once enabled, the address and the alternate
bytes are sent on both clock edges and the data are sent/received on both clock edges.
Regardless of the DDRM bit setting, instructions are always sent in SDR mode.
The DMA requests are enabled setting the DMAEN bit. In case of interrupt usage, their
respective enable bit can be also set during this phase.
FIFO level for either DMA request generation or interrupt generation is programmed in the
FTHRES bits.
If timeout counter is needed, the TCEN bit can be set and the timeout value programmed in
the QUADSPI_LPTR register.
Dual-flash mode can be activated by setting DFM to 1.

QUADSPI Flash memory configuration
The parameters related to the targeted external Flash memory are configured through the
QUADSPI_DCR register.The user shall program the Flash memory size in the FSIZE bits,
the Chip Select minimum high time in the CSHT bits, and the functional mode (Mode 0 or
Mode 3) in the MODE bit.

14.3.11

QUADSPI usage
The operating mode is selected using FMODE[1:0] (QUADSPI_CCR[27:26]).

Indirect mode procedure
When FMODE is programmed to 00, indirect write mode is selected and data can be sent to
the Flash memory. With FMODE = 01, indirect read mode is selected where data can be
read from the Flash memory.
When the QUADSPI is used in indirect mode, the frames are constructed in the following
way:
1.

394/1724

Specify a number of data bytes to read or write in the QUADSPI_DLR.

2.

Specify the frame format, mode and instruction code in the QUADSPI_CCR.

3.

Specify optional alternate byte to be sent right after the address phase in the
QUADSPI_ABR.

4.

Specify the operating mode in the QUADSPI_CR. If FMODE = 00 (indirect write mode)
and DMAEN = 1, then QUADSPI_AR should be specified before QUADSPI_CR,
because otherwise QUADSPI_DR might be written by the DMA before QUADSPI_AR
is updated (if the DMA controller has already been enabled)

5.

Specify the targeted address in the QUADSPI_AR.

6.

Read/Write the data from/to the FIFO through the QUADSPI_DR.

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Quad-SPI interface (QUADSPI)
When writing the control register (QUADSPI_CR) the user specifies the following settings:
•

The enable bit (EN) set to ‘1’

•

The DMA enable bit (DMAEN) for transferring data to/from RAM

•

Timeout counter enable bit (TCEN)

•

Sample shift setting (SSHIFT)

•

FIFO threshold level (FTRHES) to indicate when the FTF flag should be set

•

Interrupt enables

•

Automatic polling mode parameters: match mode and stop mode (valid when
FMODE = 11)

•

Clock prescaler

When writing the communication configuration register (QUADSPI_CCR) the user specifies
the following parameters:
•

The instruction byte through the INSTRUCTION bits

•

The way the instruction has to be sent through the IMODE bits (1/2/4 lines)

•

The way the address has to be sent through the ADMODE bits (None/1/2/4 lines)

•

The address size (8/16/24/32-bit) through the ADSIZE bits

•

The way the alternate bytes have to be sent through the ABMODE (None/1/2/4 lines)

•

The alternate bytes number (1/2/3/4) through the ABSIZE bits

•

The presence or not of dummy bytes through the DBMODE bit

•

The number of dummy bytes through the DCYC bits

•

The way the data have to be sent/received (None/1/2/4 lines) through the DMODE bits

If neither the address register (QUADSPI_AR) nor the data register (QUADSPI_DR) need to
be updated for a particular command, then the command sequence starts as soon as
QUADSPI_CCR is written. This is the case when both ADMODE and DMODE are 00, or if
just ADMODE = 00 when in indirect read mode (FMODE = 01).
When an address is required (ADMODE is not 00) and the data register does not need to be
written (when FMODE = 01 or DMODE = 00), the command sequence starts as soon as the
address is updated with a write to QUADSPI_AR.
In case of data transmission (FMODE = 00 and DMODE! = 00), the communication start is
triggered by a write in the FIFO through QUADSPI_DR.

Status flag polling mode
The status flag polling mode is enabled setting the FMODE field (QUADSPI_CCR[27:26]) to
10. In this mode, the programmed frame will be sent and the data retrieved periodically.
The maximum amount of data read in each frame is 4 bytes. If more data is requested in
QUADSPI_DLR, it will be ignored and only 4 bytes will be read.
The periodicity is specified in the QUADSPI_PISR register.
Once the status data has been retrieved, it can internally be processed i order to:
•

set the status match flag and generate an interrupt if enabled

•

stop automatically the periodic retrieving of the status bytes

The received value can be masked with the value stored in the QUADSPI_PSMKR and
ORed or ANDed with the value stored in the QUADSPI_PSMAR.

RM0385 Rev 8

395/1724
412

Quad-SPI interface (QUADSPI)

RM0385

In case of match, the status match flag is set and an interrupt is generated if enabled, and
the QUADSPI can be automatically stopped if the AMPS bit is set.
In any case, the latest retrieved value is available in the QUADSPI_DR.

Memory-mapped mode
In memory-mapped mode, the external Flash memory is seen as internal memory but with
some latency during accesses. Only read operations are allowed to the external Flash
memory in this mode.
Memory-mapped mode is entered by setting the FMODE to 11 in the QUADSPI_CCR
register.
The programmed instruction and frame is sent when a master is accessing the memory
mapped space.
The FIFO is used as a prefetch buffer to anticipate linear reads. Any access to
QUADSPI_DR in this mode returns zero.
The data length register (QUADSPI_DLR) has no meaning in memory-mapped mode.

14.3.12

Sending the instruction only once
Some Flash memories (e.g. Winbound) might provide a mode where an instruction must be
sent only with the first command sequence, while subsequent commands start directly with
the address. One can take advantage of such a feature using the SIOO bit
(QUADSPI_CCR[28]).
SIOO is valid for all functional modes (indirect, automatic polling, and memory-mapped). If
the SIOO bit is set, the instruction is sent only for the first command following a write to
QUADSPI_CCR. Subsequent command sequences skip the instruction phase, until there is
a write to QUADSPI_CCR.
SIOO has no effect when IMODE = 00 (no instruction).

14.3.13

QUADSPI error management
An error can be generated in the following case:

396/1724

•

In indirect mode or status flag polling mode when a wrong address has been
programmed in the QUADSPI_AR (according to the Flash memory size defined by
FSIZE[4:0] in the QUADSPI_DCR): this will set the TEF and an interrupt is generated if
enabled.

•

Also in indirect mode, if the address plus the data length exceeds the Flash memory
size, TEF will be set as soon as the access is triggered.

•

In memory-mapped mode, when an out of range access is done by a master or when
the QUADSPI is disabled: this will generate a bus error as a response to the faulty bus
master request.

•

When a master is accessing the memory mapped space while the memory mapped
mode is disabled: this will generate a bus error as a response to the faulty bus master
request.

14.3.14

Quad-SPI interface (QUADSPI)

QUADSPI busy bit and abort functionality
Once the QUADSPI starts an operation with the Flash memory, the BUSY bit is
automatically set in the QUADSPI_SR.
In indirect mode, the BUSY bit is reset once the QUADSPI has completed the requested
command sequence and the FIFO is empty.
In automatic-polling mode, BUSY goes low only after the last periodic access is complete,
due to a match when APMS = 1, or due to an abort.
After the first access in memory-mapped mode, BUSY goes low only on a timeout event or
on an abort.
Any operation can be aborted by setting the ABORT bit in the QUADSPI_CR. Once the
abort is completed, the BUSY bit and the ABORT bit are automatically reset, and the FIFO
is flushed.

Note:

Some Flash memories might misbehave if a write operation to a status registers is aborted.

14.3.15

nCS behavior
By default, nCS is high, deselecting the external Flash memory. nCS falls before an
operation begins and rises as soon as it finishes.
When CKMODE = 0 (“mode0”, where CLK stays low when no operation is in progress) nCS
falls one CLK cycle before an operation first rising CLK edge, and nCS rises one CLK cycle
after the operation final rising CLK edge, as shown in Figure 66.

with a falling edge, CLK is low when nCS rises, and CLK rises back up one half of a CLK

When not in dual-flash mode (DFM = 0), only FLASH 1 is accessed and thus the BK2_nCS
stays high. In dual-flash mode, BK2_nCS behaves exactly the same as BK1_nCS. Thus, if
there is a FLASH 2 and if the application always stays in dual-flash mode, then FLASH 2
may use BK1_nCS and the pin outputting BK2_nCS can be used for other functions.

there has not been an access after a certain amount of time, where this time is defined
by TIMEOUT[15:0] (QUADSPI_LPTR).
Enable the timeout counter.
By default, the QUADSPI never stops its prefetch operation, keeping the previous read
operation active with nCS maintained low, even if no access to the Flash memory
occurs for a long time. Since Flash memories tend to consume more when nCS is held
low, the application might want to activate the timeout counter (TCEN = 1, bit 3 of
QUADSPI_CR) so that nCS is released after a period of TIMEOUT[15:0]
(QUADSPI_LPTR) cycles have elapsed without an access since when the FIFO
becomes full with prefetch data.
0: Timeout counter is disabled, and thus the chip select (nCS) remains active
indefinitely after an access in memory-mapped mode.

Bits 20:16 FSIZE[4:0]: Flash memory size
This field defines the size of external memory using the following formula:
Number of bytes in Flash memory = 2[FSIZE+1]
FSIZE+1 is effectively the number of address bits required to address the Flash
memory. The Flash memory capacity can be up to 4GB (addressed using 32 bits) in
indirect mode, but the addressable space in memory-mapped mode is limited to
256MB.
If DFM = 1, FSIZE indicates the total capacity of the two Flash memories together.
This field can be modified only when BUSY = 0.
Bits 15:11 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bits 10:8 CSHT[2:0]: Chip select high time
CSHT+1 defines the minimum number of CLK cycles which the chip select (nCS) must
remain high between commands issued to the Flash memory.
0: nCS stays high for at least 1 cycle between Flash memory commands
1: nCS stays high for at least 2 cycles between Flash memory commands
...
7: nCS stays high for at least 8 cycles between Flash memory commands
This field can be modified only when BUSY = 0.
Bits 7:1 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bit 0 CKMODE: Mode 0 / mode 3
This bit indicates the level that CLK takes between commands (when nCS = 1).
0: CLK must stay low while nCS is high (chip select released). This is referred to as
mode 0.
1: CLK must stay high while nCS is high (chip select released). This is referred to as
mode 3.
This field can be modified only when BUSY = 0.

In indirect mode, this bit is set when the FIFO threshold has been reached, or if there is
any data left in the FIFO after reads from the Flash memory are complete. It is cleared
automatically as soon as threshold condition is no longer true.
In automatic polling mode this bit is set every time the status register is read, and the bit
is cleared when the data register is read.

Bits 31:0 DL[31:0]: Data length
Number of data to be retrieved (value+1) in indirect and status-polling modes. A value
no greater than 3 (indicating 4 bytes) should be used for status-polling mode.
All 1s in indirect mode means undefined length, where QUADSPI will continue until the
end of memory, as defined by FSIZE.
0x0000_0000: 1 byte is to be transferred
0x0000_0001: 2 bytes are to be transferred
0x0000_0002: 3 bytes are to be transferred
0x0000_0003: 4 bytes are to be transferred
...
0xFFFF_FFFD: 4,294,967,294 (4G-2) bytes are to be transferred
0xFFFF_FFFE: 4,294,967,295 (4G-1) bytes are to be transferred
0xFFFF_FFFF: undefined length -- all bytes until the end of Flash memory (as defined
by FSIZE) are to be transferred. Continue reading indefinitely if FSIZE = 0x1F.
DL[0] is stuck at ‘1’ in dual-flash mode (DFM = 1) even when ‘0’ is written to this bit, thus
assuring that each access transfers an even number of bytes.
This field has no effect when in memory-mapped mode (FMODE = 10).
This field can be written only when BUSY = 0.

Bits 31:0 DATA[31:0]: Data
Data to be sent/received to/from the external SPI device.
In indirect write mode, data written to this register is stored on the FIFO before it is sent
to the Flash memory during the data phase. If the FIFO is too full, a write operation is
stalled until the FIFO has enough space to accept the amount of data being written.
In indirect read mode, reading this register gives (via the FIFO) the data which was
received from the Flash memory. If the FIFO does not have as many bytes as requested
by the read operation and if BUSY=1, the read operation is stalled until enough data is
present or until the transfer is complete, whichever happens first.
In automatic polling mode, this register contains the last data read from the Flash
memory (without masking).
Word, halfword, and byte accesses to this register are supported. In indirect write mode,
a byte write adds 1 byte to the FIFO, a halfword write 2, and a word write 4. Similarly, in
indirect read mode, a byte read removes 1 byte from the FIFO, a halfword read 2, and a
word read 4. Accesses in indirect mode must be aligned to the bottom of this register: a
byte read must read DATA[7:0] and a halfword read must read DATA[15:0].

Analog-to-digital converter (ADC)

15.1

ADC introduction
The 12-bit ADC is a successive approximation analog-to-digital converter. It has up to 19
multiplexed channels allowing it to measure signals from 16 external sources, two internal
sources, and the VBAT channel. The A/D conversion of the channels can be performed in
single, continuous, scan or discontinuous mode. The result of the ADC is stored into a leftor right-aligned 16-bit data register.
The analog watchdog feature allows the application to detect if the input voltage goes
beyond the user-defined, higher or lower thresholds.

15.2

ADC main features
•

12-bit, 10-bit, 8-bit or 6-bit configurable resolution

•

Interrupt generation at the end of conversion, end of injected conversion, and in case of
analog watchdog or overrun events

•

Single and continuous conversion modes

•

Scan mode for automatic conversion of channel 0 to channel ‘n’

•

Data alignment with in-built data coherency

•

Channel-wise programmable sampling time

•

External trigger option with configurable polarity for both regular and injected
conversions

•

Discontinuous mode

•

Dual/Triple mode (on devices with 2 ADCs or more)

•

ADC on-off control
The ADC is 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 the Power-down mode.
The conversion starts when either the SWSTART or the JSWSTART bit is set.
The user can stop conversion and put the ADC in power down mode by clearing the ADON
bit. In this mode the ADC consumes almost no power (only a few µA).

15.3.3

Analog-to-digital converter (ADC)

ADC clock
The ADC features two clock schemes:
•

Clock for the analog circuitry: ADCCLK, common to all ADCs
This clock is generated from the APB2 clock divided by a programmable prescaler that
allows the ADC to work at fPCLK2/2, /4, /6 or /8. Refer to the datasheets for the
maximum value of ADCCLK.

•

Clock for the digital interface (used for registers read/write access)
This clock is equal to the APB2 clock. The digital interface clock can be
enabled/disabled individually for each ADC through the RCC APB2 peripheral clock
enable register (RCC_APB2ENR).

15.3.4

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 that can be done on
any channel and in any order. For instance, it is possible to implement the conversion
sequence in the following order: ADC_IN3, ADC_IN8, ADC_IN2, ADC_IN2, ADC_IN0,
ADC_IN2, ADC_IN2, ADC_IN15.
•

A 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.

•

An 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 newly chosen
group.

Temperature sensor, VREFINT and VBAT internal channels
•

The temperature sensor is internally connected to ADC1_IN18 channel which is shared
with VBAT. Only one conversion, temperature sensor or VBAT, must be selected at a
time. When the temperature sensor and VBAT conversion are set simultaneously, only
the VBAT conversion is performed.
The internal reference voltage VREFINT is connected to ADC1_IN17.

The VBAT channel is connected to ADC1_IN18 channel. It can also be converted as an
injected or regular channel.
Note:

The temperature sensor, VREFINT and the VBAT channel are available only on the master
ADC1 peripheral.

Analog-to-digital converter (ADC)

15.3.5

RM0385

Single conversion mode
In Single conversion mode the ADC does one conversion. This mode is started with the
CONT bit at 0 by either:
•

setting the SWSTART bit in the ADC_CR2 register (for a regular channel only)

•

setting the JSWSTART bit (for an injected channel)

•

external trigger (for a regular or injected channel)

Once the conversion of the selected channel is complete:
•

•

If a regular channel was converted:
–

The converted data are stored into the 16-bit ADC_DR register

–

The EOC (end of conversion) flag is set

–

An interrupt is generated if the EOCIE bit is set

If an injected channel was converted:
–

The converted data are stored into the 16-bit ADC_JDR1 register

–

The JEOC (end of conversion injected) flag is set

–

An interrupt is generated if the JEOCIE bit is set

Then the ADC stops.

15.3.6

Continuous conversion mode
In continuous conversion mode, the ADC starts a new conversion as soon as it finishes one.
This mode is started with the CONT bit at 1 either by external trigger or by setting the
SWSTRT bit in the ADC_CR2 register (for regular channels only).
After each conversion:
•

If a regular group of channels was converted:
–

The last converted data are stored into the 16-bit ADC_DR register

–

The EOC (end of conversion) flag is set

–

An interrupt is generated if the EOCIE bit is set

Note:

Injected channels cannot be converted continuously. The only exception is when an injected
channel is configured to be converted automatically after regular channels in continuous
mode (using JAUTO bit), refer to Auto-injection section).

15.3.7

Timing diagram
As shown in Figure 74, the ADC needs a stabilization time of tSTAB before it starts
converting accurately. After the start of the ADC conversion and after 15 clock cycles, the
EOC flag is set and the 16-bit ADC data register contains the result of the conversion.

Analog watchdog
The AWD analog watchdog status bit is set if the analog voltage converted by the ADC is
below a lower threshold or above a higher 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 analog voltage is compared to the lower and higher thresholds
before alignment.
Table 94 shows how the ADC_CR1 register should be configured to enable the analog
watchdog on one or more channels.

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

At the end of each regular group sequence if the EOCS bit is cleared to 0

•

At the end of each regular channel conversion if the EOCS bit is set to 1

The data converted from an injected channel are always stored into the ADC_JDRx
registers.

15.3.10

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

422/1724

1.

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

2.

If an external injected trigger occurs or if the JSWSTART bit is set during the
conversion of a regular group of channels, the current conversion is reset and the
injected channel sequence switches to Scan-once mode.

3.

Then, the regular conversion of the regular group of channels is resumed from the last
interrupted regular conversion.
If a regular event occurs during an injected conversion, the injected conversion is not
interrupted but the regular sequence is executed at the end of the injected sequence.
Figure 76 shows the corresponding timing diagram.

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385
Note:

Analog-to-digital converter (ADC)
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 30 ADC clock
cycles (that is two conversions with a sampling time of 3 clock periods), the minimum
interval between triggers must be 31 ADC clock cycles.

Auto-injection
If the JAUTO bit is set, then the channels in the injected group are automatically converted
after the regular group of 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.
Note:

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

15.3.11

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) that is 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.

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Example:

Note:

•

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

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

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
3rd trigger: channel 3 converted and JEOC event 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 the auto-injected and discontinuous modes simultaneously.
Discontinuous mode must not be set for regular and injected groups at the same time.
Discontinuous mode must be enabled only for the conversion of one group.

15.4

Data alignment
The ALIGN bit in the ADC_CR2 register selects the alignment of the data stored after
conversion. Data can be right- or left-aligned as shown in Figure 77 and Figure 78.
The converted data value from the injected group of channels is decreased by the userdefined offset written in the ADC_JOFRx registers so the result can be a negative value.
The SEXT bit represents the extended sign value.
For channels in a regular group, no offset is subtracted so only twelve bits are significant.

Channel-wise programmable sampling time
The ADC samples the input voltage for a number of ADCCLK cycles that 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 sampling time.
The total conversion time is calculated as follows:
Tconv = Sampling time + 12 cycles
Example:
With ADCCLK = 30 MHz and sampling time = 3 cycles:
Tconv = 3 + 12 = 15 cycles = 0.5 µs with APB2 at 60 MHz

Conversion on external trigger and trigger polarity
Conversion can be triggered by an external event (e.g. timer capture, EXTI line). If the
EXTEN[1:0] control bits (for a regular conversion) or JEXTEN[1:0] bits (for an injected
conversion) are different from “0b00”, then external events are able to trigger a conversion
with the selected polarity. Table 95 provides the correspondence between the EXTEN[1:0]
and JEXTEN[1:0] values and the trigger polarity.

Software source trigger events can be generated by setting SWSTART (for regular
conversion) or JSWSTART (for injected conversion) in ADC_CR2.
A regular group conversion can be interrupted by an injected trigger.
Note:

The trigger selection can be changed on the fly. However, when the selection changes,
there is a time frame of 1 APB clock cycle during which the trigger detection is disabled.
This is to avoid spurious detection during transitions.

15.7

Fast conversion mode
It is possible to perform faster conversion by reducing the ADC resolution. The RES bits are
used to select the number of bits available in the data register. The minimum conversion
time for each resolution is then as follows:
•

12 bits: 3 + 12 = 15 ADCCLK cycles

•

10 bits: 3 + 10 = 13 ADCCLK cycles

•

8 bits: 3 + 8 = 11 ADCCLK cycles

•

6 bits: 3 + 6 = 9 ADCCLK cycles

Data management

15.8.1

Using the DMA

RM0385

Since converted regular channel values are stored into a unique data register, it is useful to
use DMA for conversion of more than one regular channel. This avoids the loss of the data
already stored in the ADC_DR register.
When the DMA mode is enabled (DMA bit set to 1 in the ADC_CR2 register), after each
conversion of a regular channel, a DMA request is generated. This allows the transfer of the
converted data from the ADC_DR register to the destination location selected by the
software.
Despite this, if data are lost (overrun), the OVR bit in the ADC_SR register is set and an
interrupt is generated (if the OVRIE enable bit is set). DMA transfers are then disabled and
DMA requests are no longer accepted. In this case, if a DMA request is made, the regular
conversion in progress is aborted and further regular triggers are ignored. It is then
necessary to clear the OVR flag and the DMAEN bit in the used DMA stream, and to reinitialize both the DMA and the ADC to have the wanted converted channel data transferred
to the right memory location. Only then can the conversion be resumed and the data
transfer, enabled again. Injected channel conversions are not impacted by overrun errors.
When OVR = 1 in DMA mode, the DMA requests are blocked after the last valid data have
been transferred, which means that all the data transferred to the RAM can be considered
as valid.
At the end of the last DMA transfer (number of transfers configured in the DMA controller’s
DMA_SxNTR register):
•

No new DMA request is issued to the DMA controller if the DDS bit is cleared to 0 in the
ADC_CR2 register (this avoids generating an overrun error). However the DMA bit is
not cleared by hardware. It must be written to 0, then to 1 to start a new transfer.

•

Requests can continue to be generated if the DDS bit is set to 1. This allows
configuring the DMA in double-buffer circular mode.

To recover the ADC from OVR state when the DMA is used, follow the steps below:

15.8.2

1.

Reinitialize the DMA (adjust destination address and NDTR counter)

2.

Clear the ADC OVR bit in ADC_SR register

3.

Trigger the ADC to start the conversion.

Managing a sequence of conversions without using the DMA
If the conversions are slow enough, the conversion sequence can be handled by the
software. In this case the EOCS bit must be set in the ADC_CR2 register for the EOC status
bit to be set at the end of each conversion, and not only at the end of the sequence. When
EOCS = 1, overrun detection is automatically enabled. Thus, each time a conversion is
complete, EOC is set and the ADC_DR register can be read. The overrun management is
the same as when the DMA is used.
To recover the ADC from OVR state when the EOCS is set, follow the steps below:

428/1724

1.

Clear the ADC OVR bit in ADC_SR register

2.

Trigger the ADC to start the conversion.

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

15.8.3

Analog-to-digital converter (ADC)

Conversions without DMA and without overrun detection
It may be useful to let the ADC convert one or more channels without reading the data each
time (if there is an analog watchdog for instance). For that, the DMA must be disabled
(DMA = 0) and the EOC bit must be set at the end of a sequence only (EOCS = 0). In this
configuration, overrun detection is disabled.

15.9

Multi ADC mode
In devices with two ADCs or more, the Dual (with two ADCs) and Triple (with three ADCs)
ADC modes can be used (see Figure 80).
In multi ADC mode, the start of conversion is triggered alternately or simultaneously by the
ADC1 master to the ADC2 and ADC3 slaves, depending on the mode selected by the
MULTI[4:0] bits in the ADC_CCR register.

Note:

In multi ADC mode, when configuring conversion trigger by an external event, the
application must set trigger by the master only and disable trigger by slaves to prevent
spurious triggers that would start unwanted slave conversions.
The four possible modes below are implemented:
•

Injected simultaneous mode

•

Regular simultaneous mode

•

Interleaved mode

•

Alternate trigger mode

It is also possible to use the previous modes combined in the following ways:

Note:

•

Injected simultaneous mode + Regular simultaneous mode

•

Regular simultaneous mode + Alternate trigger mode

In multi ADC mode, the converted data can be read on the multi-mode data register
(ADC_CDR). The status bits can be read in the multi-mode status register (ADC_CSR).

DMA requests in Multi ADC mode:
In Multi ADC mode the DMA may be configured to transfer converted data in three
different modes. In all cases, the DMA streams to use are those connected to the ADC:
–

DMA mode 1: On each DMA request (one data item is available), a half-word
representing an ADC-converted data item is transferred.
In Dual ADC mode, ADC1 data are transferred on the first request, ADC2 data are
transferred on the second request and so on.
In Triple ADC mode, ADC1 data are transferred on the first request, ADC2 data
are transferred on the second request and ADC3 data are transferred on the third
request; the sequence is repeated. So the DMA first transfers ADC1 data followed
by ADC2 data followed by ADC3 data and so on.
DMA mode 1 is used in regular simultaneous triple mode.
Example:
Regular simultaneous triple mode: 3 consecutive DMA requests are generated
(one for each converted data item)
1st request: ADC_CDR[31:0] = ADC1_DR[15:0]
2nd request: ADC_CDR[31:0] = ADC2_DR[15:0]
3rd request: ADC_CDR[31:0] = ADC3_DR[15:0]
4th request: ADC_CDR[31:0] = ADC1_DR[15:0]

–

DMA mode 2: On each DMA request (two data items are available) two halfwords representing two ADC-converted data items are transferred as a word.
In Dual ADC mode, both ADC2 and ADC1 data are transferred on the first request
(ADC2 data take the upper half-word and ADC1 data take the lower half-word) and
so on.
In Triple ADC mode, three DMA requests are generated. On the first request, both
ADC2 and ADC1 data are transferred (ADC2 data take the upper half-word and
ADC1 data take the lower half-word). On the second request, both ADC1 and
ADC3 data are transferred (ADC1 data take the upper half-word and ADC3 data
take the lower half-word).On the third request, both ADC3 and ADC2 data are
transferred (ADC3 data take the upper half-word and ADC2 data take the lower
half-word) and so on.
DMA mode 2 is used in interleaved mode and in regular simultaneous mode (for
Dual ADC mode only).
Example:

a)

Interleaved dual mode: a DMA request is generated each time 2 data items are
available:
1st request: ADC_CDR[31:0] = ADC2_DR[15:0] | ADC1_DR[15:0]
2nd request: ADC_CDR[31:0] = ADC2_DR[15:0] | ADC1_DR[15:0]

b)

Interleaved triple mode: a DMA request is generated each time 2 data items are
available
1st request: ADC_CDR[31:0] = ADC2_DR[15:0] | ADC1_DR[15:0]
2nd request: ADC_CDR[31:0] = ADC1_DR[15:0] | ADC3_DR[15:0]
3rd request: ADC_CDR[31:0] = ADC3_DR[15:0] | ADC2_DR[15:0]
4th request: ADC_CDR[31:0] = ADC2_DR[15:0] | ADC1_DR[15:0]

RM0385

DMA mode 3: This mode is similar to the DMA mode 2. The only differences are
that the on each DMA request (two data items are available) two bytes
representing two ADC converted data items are transferred as a half-word. The
data transfer order is similar to that of the DMA mode 2.
DMA mode 3 is used in interleaved mode in 6-bit and 8-bit resolutions.
Example:

a)

Interleaved dual mode: a DMA request is generated each time 2 data items are
available
1st request: ADC_CDR[15:0] = ADC2_DR[7:0] | ADC1_DR[7:0]
2nd request: ADC_CDR[15:0] = ADC2_DR[7:0] | ADC1_DR[7:0]

b)

Interleaved triple mode: a DMA request is generated each time 2 data items are
available
1st request: ADC_CDR[15:0] = ADC2_DR[7:0] | ADC1_DR[7:0]
2nd request: ADC_CDR[15:0] = ADC1_DR[7:0] | ADC3_DR[15:0]
3rd request: ADC_CDR[15:0] = ADC3_DR[7:0] | ADC2_DR[7:0]
4th request: ADC_CDR[15:0] = ADC2_DR[7:0] | ADC1_DR[7:0]

Overrun detection: If an overrun is detected on one of the concerned ADCs (ADC1 and
ADC2 in dual and triple modes, ADC3 in triple mode only), the DMA requests are no longer
issued to ensure that all the data transferred to the RAM are valid. It may happen that the
EOC bit corresponding to one ADC remains set because the data register of this ADC
contains valid data.

15.9.1

Injected simultaneous mode
This mode converts an injected group of channels. The external trigger source comes from
the injected group multiplexer of ADC1 (selected by the JEXTSEL[3:0] bits in the ADC1_CR2
register). A simultaneous trigger is provided to ADC2 and ADC3.

Note:

Do not convert the same channel on the two/three ADCs (no overlapping sampling times for
the two/three ADCs when converting the same channel).
In simultaneous mode, one must convert sequences with the same length or ensure that the
interval between triggers is longer than the longer of the 2 sequences (Dual ADC mode) /3
sequences (Triple ADC mode). Otherwise, the ADC with the shortest sequence may restart
while the ADC with the longest sequence is completing the previous conversions.
Regular conversions can be performed on one or all ADCs. In that case, they are
independent of each other and are interrupted when an injected event occurs. They are
resumed at the end of the injected conversion group.

Interleaved mode
This mode can be started only on a regular group (usually one channel). The external
trigger source comes from the regular channel multiplexer of ADC1.

Dual ADC mode
After an external trigger occurs:

•

ADC1 starts immediately

•

ADC2 starts after a delay of several ADC clock cycles

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Analog-to-digital converter (ADC)
The minimum delay which separates 2 conversions in interleaved mode is configured in the
DELAY bits in the ADC_CCR register. However, an ADC cannot start a conversion if the
complementary ADC is still sampling its input (only one ADC can sample the input signal at
a given time). In this case, the delay becomes the sampling time + 2 ADC clock cycles. For
instance, if DELAY = 5 clock cycles and the sampling takes 15 clock cycles on both ADCs,
then 17 clock cycles will separate conversions on ADC1 and ADC2).
If the CONT bit is set on both ADC1 and ADC2, the selected regular channels of both ADCs
are continuously converted.

Note:

If the conversion sequence is interrupted (for instance when DMA end of transfer occurs),
the multi-ADC sequencer must be reset by configuring it in independent mode first (bits
DUAL[4:0] = 00000) before reprogramming the interleaved mode.
After an EOC interrupt is generated by ADC2 (if enabled through the EOCIE bit) a 32-bit
DMA transfer request is generated (if the DMA[1:0] bits in ADC_CCR are equal to 0b10).
This request first transfers the ADC2 converted data stored in the upper half-word of the

Note:

Regular conversions can be enabled on one or all ADCs. In this case the regular
conversions are independent of each other. A regular conversion is interrupted when the
ADC has to perform an injected conversion. It is resumed when the injected conversion is
finished.
If the conversion sequence is interrupted (for instance when DMA end of transfer occurs),
the multi-ADC sequencer must be reset by configuring it in independent mode first (bits

15.9.5

Combined regular/injected simultaneous mode
It is possible to interrupt the simultaneous conversion of a regular group to start the
simultaneous conversion of an injected group.

Note:

In combined regular/injected simultaneous mode, one must convert sequences with the
same length or ensure that the interval between triggers is longer than the long conversion
time of the 2 sequences (Dual ADC mode) /3 sequences (Triple ADC mode). Otherwise, the
ADC with the shortest sequence may restart while the ADC with the longest sequence is
completing the previous conversions.

15.9.6

Combined regular simultaneous + alternate trigger mode
It is possible to interrupt the simultaneous conversion of a regular group to start the alternate
trigger conversion of an injected group. Figure 90 shows the behavior of an alternate trigger
interrupting a simultaneous regular conversion.
The injected alternate conversion is immediately started after the injected event. If regular
conversion is already running, in order to ensure synchronization after the injected
conversion, the regular conversion of all (master/slave) ADCs is stopped and resumed
synchronously at the end of the injected conversion.

Note:

with the same length or ensure that the interval between triggers is longer than the long

Otherwise, the ADC with the shortest sequence may restart while the ADC with the longest
sequence is completing the previous conversions.
If the conversion sequence is interrupted (for instance when DMA end of transfer occurs),
the multi-ADC sequencer must be reset by configuring it in independent mode first (bits

Temperature sensor
The temperature sensor can be used to measure the ambient temperature (TA) of the
device.
•

On STM32F75xxx and STM32F74xxx devices, the temperature sensor is internally
connected to the same input channel, ADC1_IN18, as VBAT: ADC1_IN18 is used to
convert the sensor output voltage or VBAT into a digital value. Only one conversion,
temperature sensor or VBAT, must be selected at a time. When the temperature sensor
and the VBAT conversion are set simultaneously, only the VBAT conversion is
performed.

Figure 92 shows the block diagram of the temperature sensor.
When not in use, the sensor can be put in power down mode.
Note:

The TSVREFE bit must be set to enable the conversion of both internal channels: the
ADC1_IN18 (temperature sensor) and the ADC1_IN17 (VREFINT).

Supported temperature range: –40 to 125 °C

Reading the temperature
To use the sensor:
3.

Select ADC1_IN18 input channel.

4.

Select a sampling time greater than the minimum sampling time specified in the
datasheet.

5.

Set the TSVREFE bit in the ADC_CCR register to wake up the temperature sensor
from power down mode

6.

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

7.

Read the resulting VSENSE data in the ADC data register

8.

Calculate the temperature using the following formula:
Temperature (in °C) = {(VSENSE – V25) / Avg_Slope} + 25
Where:
–

V25 = VSENSE value for 25° C

–

Avg_Slope = average slope of the temperature vs. VSENSE curve (given in mV/°C
or µV/°C)

Refer to the datasheet 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.
The temperature sensor output voltage changes linearly with temperature. The offset of this
linear function depends on each 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 reading is required, an
external temperature sensor should be used.

15.11

Battery charge monitoring
The VBATE bit in the ADC_CCR register is used to switch to the battery voltage. As the
VBAT voltage could be higher than VDDA, to ensure the correct operation of the ADC, the
VBAT pin is internally connected to a bridge divider.
When the VBATE is set, the bridge is automatically enabled to connect:
•

Note:

VBAT/4 to the ADC1_IN18 input channel

The VBAT and temperature sensor are connected to the same ADC internal channel
(ADC1_IN18). Only one conversion, either temperature sensor or VBAT, must be selected
at a time. When both conversion are enabled simultaneously, only the VBAT conversion is
performed.

ADC interrupts
An interrupt can be produced on the end of conversion for regular and injected groups,
when the analog watchdog status bit is set and when the overrun 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:

•

Digital-to-analog converter (DAC)

16.1

DAC 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. The DAC has two output channels, each
with its own converter. In dual DAC channel mode, conversions could be done
independently or simultaneously when both channels are grouped together for synchronous
update operations. An input reference pin, VREF+ (shared with ADC) is available for better
resolution.

16.2

DAC functional description

16.3.1

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

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Digital-to-analog converter (DAC)

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.

16.3.2

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.
Each DAC channel output buffer can be enabled and disabled using the corresponding
BOFFx bit in the DAC_CR register.

DAC data format
Depending on the selected configuration mode, the data have to be written into the specified
register as described below:
•

Single DAC channelx, 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.

•

Dual DAC channels, there are three possibilities:
–

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

–

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

Depending on the loaded DAC_DHRyyyD register, the data written by the user is shifted
and stored into 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.

16.3.4

DAC 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, DAC_DHR8RD, DAC_DHR12LD or DAC_DHR12RD).
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 APB1 clock cycles later.

464/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Digital-to-analog converter (DAC)
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.

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

16.3.6

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 out of 8
possible events will trigger conversion as shown in Table 103.

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.

RM0385 Rev 8

465/1724
482

Digital-to-analog converter (DAC)

RM0385

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:

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.

16.3.7

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
into 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, you 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
acknowledgement 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 underrun. Finally, the DAC conversion could be
resumed by enabling both DMA data transfer and conversion trigger.
For each DAC channelx, an interrupt is also generated if its corresponding DMAUDRIEx bit
in the DAC_CR register is enabled.

16.3.8

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 APB1 clock cycles after
each trigger event, following a specific calculation algorithm.

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).
It is possible to reset LFSR wave generation by resetting the WAVEx[1:0] bits.

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

16.3.9

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 APB1 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.

The MAMPx[3:0] bits must be configured before enabling the DAC, otherwise they cannot
be changed.

Dual DAC channel conversion
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 possible conversion modes are possible using the two DAC channels and these dual
registers. All the conversion modes can nevertheless be obtained using separate DHRx
registers if needed.
All modes are described in the paragraphs below.

Digital camera interface (DCMI)

17.1

DCMI introduction
The digital camera is a synchronous parallel interface able to receive a high-speed data flow
from an external 8-, 10-, 12- or 14-bit CMOS camera module. It supports different data
formats: YCbCr4:2:2/RGB565 progressive video and compressed data (JPEG).
This interface is for use with black & white cameras, X24 and X5 cameras, and it is
assumed that all preprocessing like resizing is performed in the camera module.

17.2

17.3

DCMI main features
•

8-, 10-, 12- or 14-bit parallel interface

•

Embedded/external line and frame synchronization

•

Continuous or snapshot mode

•

Crop feature

•

Supports the following data formats:
–

8/10/12/14-bit progressive video: either monochrome or raw bayer

–

YCbCr 4:2:2 progressive video

–

RGB 565 progressive video

–

Compressed data: JPEG

DCMI clocks
The digital camera interface uses two clock domains, DCMI_PIXCLK and HCLK. The
signals generated with DCMI_PIXCLK are sampled on the rising edge of HCLK once they
are stable. An enable signal is generated in the HCLK domain, to indicate that data coming
from the camera are stable and can be sampled. The maximum DCMI_PIXCLK period must
be higher than 2.5 HCLK periods.

17.4

DCMI functional overview
The digital camera interface is a synchronous parallel interface that can receive high-speed
(up to 54 Mbytes/s) data flows. It consists of up to 14 data lines (D13-D0) and a pixel clock
line (DCMI_PIXCLK). The pixel clock has a programmable polarity, so that data can be
captured on either the rising or the falling edge of the pixel clock.
The data are packed into a 32-bit data register (DCMI_DR) and then transferred through a
general-purpose DMA channel. The image buffer is managed by the DMA, not by the
camera interface.
The data received from the camera can be organized in lines/frames (raw YUB/RGB/Bayer
modes) or can be a sequence of JPEG images. To enable JPEG image reception, the JPEG
bit (bit 3 of DCMI_CR register) must be set.

RM0385 Rev 8

Digital camera interface (DCMI)

RM0385

The data flow is synchronized either by hardware using the optional DCMI_HSYNC
(horizontal synchronization) and DCMI_VSYNC (vertical synchronization) signals or by
synchronization codes embedded in the data flow.

17.4.2

DMA interface
The DMA interface is active when the CAPTURE bit in the DCMI_CR register is set. A DMA
request is generated each time the camera interface receives a complete 32-bit data block
in its register.

17.4.3

DCMI physical interface
The interface is composed of 11/13/15/17 inputs. Only the Slave mode is supported.

The camera interface can capture 8-bit, 10-bit, 12-bit or 14-bit data depending on the
EDM[1:0] bits in the DCMI_CR register. If less than 14 bits are used, the unused input pins
must be connected to ground.
Table 105 shows the DCMI pins.

1. The capture edge of DCMI_PIXCLK is the falling edge, the active state of DCMI_HSYNC and
DCMI_VSYNC is 1.
2. DCMI_HSYNC and DCMI_VSYNC can change states at the same time.

8-bit data
When EDM[1:0] in DCMI_CR are programmed to “00” the interface captures 8 LSBs at its
input (DCMI_D[0:7]) and stores them as 8-bit data. The DCMI_D[13:8] inputs are ignored. In
this case, to capture a 32-bit word, the camera interface takes four pixel clock cycles.
The first captured data byte is placed in the LSB position in the 32-bit word and the 4th
captured data byte is placed in the MSB position in the 32-bit word. Table 106 gives an
example of the positioning of captured data bytes in two 32-bit words.

10-bit data
When EDM[1:0] in DCMI_CR are programmed to “01”, the camera interface captures 10-bit
data at its input DCMI_D[0..9] and stores them as the 10 least significant bits of a 16-bit
word. The remaining most significant bits in the DCMI_DR register (bits 11 to 15) are
cleared to zero. So, in this case, a 32-bit data word is made up every two pixel clock cycles.
The first captured data are placed in the LSB position in the 32-bit word and the 2nd
captured data are placed in the MSB position in the 32-bit word as shown in Table 107.

Synchronization
The digital camera interface supports embedded or hardware (DCMI_HSYNC and
DCMI_VSYNC) synchronization. When embedded synchronization is used, it is up to the
digital camera module to make sure that the 0x00 and 0xFF values are used ONLY for
synchronization (not in data). Embedded synchronization codes are supported only for the
8-bit parallel data interface width (that is, in the DCMI_CR register, the EDM[1:0] bits should
be cleared to “00”).
For compressed data, the DCMI supports only the hardware synchronization mode. In this
case, DCMI_VSYNC is used as a start/end of the image, and DCMI_HSYNC is used as a
Data Valid signal. Figure 105 shows the corresponding timing diagram.

Hardware synchronization mode
In hardware synchronization mode, the two synchronization signals
(DCMI_HSYNC/DCMI_VSYNC) are used.
Depending on the camera module/mode, data may be transmitted during horizontal/vertical
synchronization periods. The DCMI_HSYNC/DCMI_VSYNC signals act like blanking
signals since all the data received during DCMI_HSYNC/DCMI_VSYNC active periods are
ignored.
In order to correctly transfer images into the DMA/RAM buffer, data transfer is synchronized
with the DCMI_VSYNC signal. When the hardware synchronization mode is selected, and

RM0385 Rev 8

487/1724
507

Digital camera interface (DCMI)

RM0385

capture is enabled (CAPTURE bit set in DCMI_CR), data transfer is synchronized with the
deactivation of the DCMI_VSYNC signal (next start of frame).
Transfer can then be continuous, with successive frames transferred by DMA to successive
buffers or the same/circular buffer. To allow the DMA management of successive frames, a
VSIF (Vertical synchronization interrupt flag) is activated at the end of each frame.

Embedded data synchronization mode
In this synchronization mode, the data flow is synchronized using 32-bit codes embedded in
the data flow. These codes use the 0x00/0xFF values that are not used in data anymore.
There are 4 types of codes, all with a 0xFF0000XY format. The embedded synchronization
codes are supported only in 8-bit parallel data width capture (in the DCMI_CR register, the
EDM[1:0] bits should be programmed to “00”). For other data widths, this mode generates
unpredictable results and must not be used.
Note:

Camera modules can have 8 such codes (in interleaved mode). For this reason, the
interleaved mode is not supported by the camera interface (otherwise, every other
half-frame would be discarded).
•

Mode 2
Four embedded codes signal the following events
–

Frame start (FS)

–

Frame end (FE)

–

Line start (LS)

–

Line end (LE)

The XY values in the 0xFF0000XY format of the four codes are programmable (see
Section 17.7.7: DCMI embedded synchronization code register (DCMI_ESCR)).
A 0xFF value programmed as a “frame end” means that all the unused codes are
interpreted as valid frame end codes.
In this mode, once the camera interface has been enabled, the frame capture starts
after the first occurrence of the frame end (FE) code followed by a frame start (FS)
code.
•

Mode 1
An alternative coding is the camera mode 1. This mode is ITU656 compatible.
The codes signal another set of events:
–

SAV (active line) - line start

–

EAV (active line) - line end

–

SAV (blanking) - end of line during interframe blanking period

–

EAV (blanking) - end of line during interframe blanking period

This mode can be supported by programming the following codes:
•

FS ≤ 0xFF

•

FE ≤ 0xFF

•

LS ≤ SAV (active)

•

LE ≤ EAV (active)

An embedded unmask code is also implemented for frame/line start and frame/line end
codes. Using it, it is possible to compare only the selected unmasked bits with the
programmed code. You can therefore select a bit to compare in the embedded code and

488/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Digital camera interface (DCMI)
detect a frame/line start or frame/line end. This means that there can be different codes for
the frame/line start and frame/line end with the unmasked bit position remaining the same.

Example
FS = 0xA5
Unmask code for FS = 0x10
In this case the frame start code is embedded in the bit 4 of the frame start code.

17.4.5

Capture modes
This interface supports two types of capture: snapshot (single frame) and continuous grab.

Snapshot mode (single frame)
In this mode, a single frame is captured (CM = ‘1’ in the DCMI_CR register). After the
CAPTURE bit is set in DCMI_CR, the interface waits for the detection of a start of frame
before sampling the data. The camera interface is automatically disabled (CAPTURE bit
cleared in DCMI_CR) after receiving the first complete frame. An interrupt is generated
(IT_FRAME) if it is enabled.
In case of an overrun, the frame is lost and the CAPTURE bit is cleared.

1. Here, the active state of DCMI_HSYNC and DCMI_VSYNC is 1.
2. DCMI_HSYNC and DCMI_VSYNC can change states at the same time.

Continuous grab mode
In this mode (CM bit = ‘0’ in DCMI_CR), once the CAPTURE bit has been set in DCMI_CR,
the grabbing process starts on the next DCMI_VSYNC or embedded frame start depending
on the mode. The process continues until the CAPTURE bit is cleared in DCMI_CR. Once
the CAPTURE bit has been cleared, the grabbing process continues until the end of the
current frame.

1. Here, the active state of DCMI_HSYNC and DCMI_VSYNC is 1.
2. DCMI_HSYNC and DCMI_VSYNC can change states at the same time.

In continuous grab mode, you can configure the FCRC bits in DCMI_CR to grab all pictures,
every second picture or one out of four pictures to decrease the frame capture rate.
Note:

In the hardware synchronization mode (ESS = ‘0’ in DCMI_CR), the IT_VSYNC interrupt is
generated (if enabled) even when CAPTURE = ‘0’ in DCMI_CR so, to reduce the frame
capture rate even further, the IT_VSYNC interrupt can be used to count the number of
frames between 2 captures in conjunction with the Snapshot mode. This is not allowed by
embedded data synchronization mode.

17.4.6

Crop feature
With the crop feature, the camera interface can select a rectangular window from the
received image. The start (upper left corner) coordinates and size (horizontal dimension in
number of pixel clocks and vertical dimension in number of lines) are specified using two 32bit registers (DCMI_CWSTRT and DCMI_CWSIZE). The size of the window is specified in
number of pixel clocks (horizontal dimension) and in number of lines (vertical dimension).

These registers specify the coordinates of the starting point of the capture window as a line
number (in the frame, starting from 0) and a number of pixel clocks (on the line, starting from
0), and the size of the window as a line number and a number of pixel clocks. The CAPCNT
value can only be a multiple of 4 (two least significant bits are forced to 0) to allow the
correct transfer of data through the DMA.

If the DCMI_VSYNC signal goes active before the number of lines is specified in the

when enabled.

2. DCMI_HSYNC and DCMI_VSYNC can change states at the same time.

17.4.7

JPEG format
To allow JPEG image reception, it is necessary to set the JPEG bit in the DCMI_CR register.
JPEG images are not stored as lines and frames, so the DCMI_VSYNC signal is used to
start the capture while DCMI_HSYNC serves as a data enable signal. The number of bytes
in a line may not be a multiple of 4, you should therefore be careful when handling this case
since a DMA request is generated each time a complete 32-bit word has been constructed
from the captured data. When an end of frame is detected and the 32-bit word to be
transferred has not been completely received, the remaining data are padded with ‘0s’ and a
DMA request is generated.
The crop feature and embedded synchronization codes cannot be used in the JPEG format.

17.4.8

FIFO
Input mode
A four-word FIFO is implemented to manage data rate transfers on the AHB. The DCMI
features a simple FIFO controller with a read pointer incremented each time the camera
interface reads from the AHB, and a write pointer incremented each time the camera
interface writes to the FIFO. There is no overrun protection to prevent the data from being
overwritten if the AHB interface does not sustain the data transfer rate.
In case of overrun or errors in the synchronization signals, the FIFO is reset and the DCMI
interface waits for a new start of frame.

Data formats
Three types of data are supported:
•

8/10/12/14-bit progressive video: either monochrome or raw Bayer format

•

YCbCr 4:2:2 progressive video

•

RGB565 progressive video. A pixel coded in 16 bits (5 bits for blue, 5 bits for red, 6 bits
for green) takes two clock cycles to be transferred.

Compressed data: JPEG
For B&W, YCbCr or RGB data, the maximum input size is 2048 × 2048 pixels. No limit in
JPEG compressed mode.
For monochrome, RGB & YCbCr, the frame buffer is stored in raster mode. 32-bit words are
used. Only the little endian format is supported.

DCMI_RIS gives the raw interrupt status and is accessible in read only. When read, this
register returns the status of the corresponding interrupt before masking with the DCMI_IER
register value.
Bits 31:5 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bit 4 LINE_RIS: Line raw interrupt status
This bit gets set when the DCMI_HSYNC signal changes from the inactive state
to the active state. It goes high even if the line is not valid.
In the case of embedded synchronization, this bit is set only if the CAPTURE bit
in DCMI_CR is set.
It is cleared by writing a ‘1’ to the LINE_ISC bit in DCMI_ICR.
Bit 3 VSYNC_RIS: DCMI_VSYNC raw interrupt status
This bit is set when the DCMI_VSYNC signal changes from the inactive state to
the active state.
In the case of embedded synchronization, this bit is set only if the CAPTURE bit
is set in DCMI_CR.
It is cleared by writing a ‘1’ to the VSYNC_ISC bit in DCMI_ICR.
Bit 2 ERR_RIS: Synchronization error raw interrupt status
0: No synchronization error detected
1: Embedded synchronization characters are not received in the correct order.
This bit is valid only in the embedded synchronization mode. It is cleared by
writing a ‘1’ to the ERR_ISC bit in DCMI_ICR.
Note: This bit is available only in embedded synchronization mode.
Bit 1 OVR_RIS:Overrun raw interrupt status
0: No data buffer overrun occurred
1: A data buffer overrun occurred and the data FIFO is corrupted.
This bit is cleared by writing a ‘1’ to the OVR_ISC bit in DCMI_ICR.
Bit 0 FRAME_RIS: Capture complete raw interrupt status
0: No new capture
1: A frame has been captured.
This bit is set when a frame or window has been captured.
In case of a cropped window, this bit is set at the end of line of the last line in the
crop. It is set even if the captured frame is empty (e.g. window cropped outside
the frame).
This bit is cleared by writing a ‘1’ to the FRAME_ISC bit in DCMI_ICR.

The DCMI_IER register is used to enable interrupts. When one of the DCMI_IER bits is set,
the corresponding interrupt is enabled. This register is accessible in both read and write.
Bits 31:5 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bit 4 LINE_IE: Line interrupt enable
0: No interrupt generation when the line is received
1: An Interrupt is generated when a line has been completely received
Bit 3 VSYNC_IE: DCMI_VSYNC interrupt enable
0: No interrupt generation
1: An interrupt is generated on each DCMI_VSYNC transition from the inactive to
the active state
The active state of the DCMI_VSYNC signal is defined by the VSPOL bit.
Bit 2 ERR_IE: Synchronization error interrupt enable
0: No interrupt generation
1: An interrupt is generated if the embedded synchronization codes are not
received in the correct order.
Note: This bit is available only in embedded synchronization mode.
Bit 1 OVR_IE: Overrun interrupt enable

Description

The LTDC-TFT controller pins must be configured by the user application. The unused pins
can be used for other purposes.
For LTDC outputs up to 24-bit (RGB888), if less than 8 bpp are used to output for example
RGB565 or RGB666 to interface on 16- or 18-bit displays, the RGB display data lines must
be connected to the MSB of the LCD-TFT controller RGB data lines. As an example, in the
case of an LCD-TFT controller interfacing with a RGB565 16-bit display, the LCD display
R[4:0], G[5:0] and B[4:0] data lines pins must be connected to LCD-TFT controller
LCD_R[7:3], LCD_G[7:2] and LCD_B[7:3].

18.3.3

LTDC reset and clocks
The LCD-TFT controller peripheral uses 3 clock domains:
•

AHB clock domain (HCLK)
This domain contains the LCD-TFT AHB master interface for data transfer from the
memories to the Layer FIFO and the frame buffer configuration register

•

APB2 clock domain (PCLK2):
This domain contains the global configuration registers and the interrupt register.

•

Pixel clock domain (LCD_CLK)
This domain contains the pixel data generation, the layer configuration register as well
as the LCD-TFT interface signal generator. The LCD_CLK output should be configured
following the panel requirements. The LCD_CLK is generated from a specific PLL
output (refer to the reset and clock control section).

Table 117 summarizes the clock domain for each register.

Care must be taken while accessing the LTDC registers, the APB2 bus is stalled during:
•

6 PCKL2 periods + 5 LCD_CLK periods (5 HCLK periods for register on AHB clock
domain) for register write access and update;

•

7 PCKL2 periods + 5 LCD_CLK periods (5 HCLK periods for register on AHB clock
domain) for register read access.

For registers on PCLK2 clock domain, APB2 bus is stalled for 6 PCKL2 periods during the
register write accesses, and for 7 PCKL2 periods during Read accesses.
The LCD controller can be reset by setting the corresponding bit in the RCC_APB2RSTR
register. It resets the three clock domains.

18.4

LTDC programmable parameters
The LCD-TFT controller provides flexible configurable parameters. It can be enabled or
disabled through the LTDC_GCR register.

Note:

The HBP and HFP are respectively the horizontal back porch and front porch period.
The VBP and the VFP are respectively the vertical back porch and front porch period.
The LCD-TFT programmable synchronous timings are:

512/1724

•

HSYNC and VSYNC width: horizontal and vertical synchronization width, configured by
programming a value of HSYNC width - 1 and VSYNC width - 1 in the LTDC_SSCR
register

•

HBP and VBP: horizontal and vertical synchronization back porch width, configured by
programming the accumulated value HSYNC width + HBP - 1 and the accumulated
value VSYNC width + VBP - 1 in the LTDC_BPCR register.

•

Active width and active height: the active width and active height are configured by
programming the accumulated value HSYNC width + HBP + active width - 1 and the
accumulated value VSYNC width + VBP + active height - 1 in the LTDC_AWCR
register (only up to 1024x768 is supported).

•

Total width: the total width is configured by programming the accumulated value
HSYNC width + HBP + active width + HFP - 1 in the LTDC_TWCR register. The HFP
is the horizontal front porch period.

•

Total height: the total height is configured by programming the accumulated value
VSYNC height + VBP + active height + VFP - 1 in the LTDC_TWCR register. The
VFP is the vertical front porch period.

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385
Note:

LCD-TFT display controller (LTDC)
When the LTDC is enabled, the timings generated start with X/Y=0/0 position as the first
horizontal synchronization pixel in the vertical synchronization area and following the back
porch, active data display area and the front porch.
When the LTDC is disabled, the timing generator block is reset to X = total width - 1,
Y = total height - 1 and held the last pixel before the vertical synchronization phase and the
FIFO are flushed. Therefore only blanking data is output continuously.

Example of synchronous timings configuration
TFT-LCD timings (must be extracted from panel datasheet):
•

horizontal and vertical synchronization width: 0xA pixels and 0x2 lines

•

horizontal and vertical back porch: 0x14 pixels and 0x2 lines

•

active width and active height: 0x140 pixels, 0xF0 lines (320x240)

•

horizontal front porch: 0xA pixels

•

vertical front porch: 0x4 lines

The programmed values in the LTDC timings registers are:
•

LTDC_SSCR register: to be programmed to 0x00070003. (HSW[11:0] is 0x7 and
VSH[10:0] is 0x3)

•

LTDC_BPCR register: to be programmed to 0x001D0003 (AHBP[11:0] is 0x1D(0xA+
0x13) and AVBP[10:0]A is 0x3(0x2 + 0x1)).

•

LTDC_AWCR register: to be programmed to 0x015D00F3 (AAW[11:0] is 0x15D(0xA
+0x14 +0x13F) and AAH[10:0] is 0xF3(0x2 +0x2 + 0xEF).

•

LTDC_TWCR register: to be programmed to 0x00000167 (TOTALW[11:0] is 0x167(0xA
+0x14 +0x140 + 0x9).

•

LTDC_THCR register: to be programmed to 0x000000F7 (TOTALH[10:0]is 0xF7(0x2
+0x2 + 0xF0 + 3)

Programmable polarity
The horizontal and vertical synchronization, data enable and pixel clock output signals
polarity can be programmed to active high or active low through the LTDC_GCR register.

Background color
A constant background color (RGB888) can programmed through the LTDC_BCCR register.
It is used for blending with the bottom layer.

Dithering
The dithering pseudo-random technique using an LFSR is used to add a small random
value (threshold) to each pixel color channel (R, G or B) value, thus rounding up the MSB in
some cases when displaying a 24-bit data on 18-bit display. Thus the Dithering technique is
used to round data which is different from one frame to the other.
The dithering pseudo-random technique is the same as comparing LSBs against a
threshold value and adding a 1 to the MSB part only, if the LSB part is >= the threshold. The
LSBs are typically dropped once dithering was applied.
The width of the added pseudo-random value is 2 bits for each color channel: 2 bits for red,
2 bits for green and 2 bits for blue.

RM0385 Rev 8

513/1724
542

LCD-TFT display controller (LTDC)

RM0385

Once the LCD-TFT controller is enabled, the LFSR starts running with the first active pixel
and it is kept running even during blanking periods and when dithering is switched off. If the
LTDC is disabled, the LFSR is reset.
The dithering can be switched On and Off on the fly through the LTDC_GCR register.

Reload shadow registers
Some configuration registers are shadowed. The shadow registers values can be reloaded
immediately to the active registers when writing to these registers or at the beginning of the
vertical blanking period following the configuration in the LTDC_SRCR register. If the
immediate reload configuration is selected, the reload should be only activated when all new
registers have been written.
The shadow registers should not be modified again before the reload has been done.
Reading from the shadow registers returns the actual active value. The new written value
can only be read after the reload has taken place.
A register reload interrupt can be generated if enabled in the LTDC_IER register.
The shadowed registers are all the layer1 and layer2 registers except the
LTDC_LxCLUTWR register.

Interrupt generation event
Refer to Section 18.5: LTDC interrupts for interrupt configuration.

18.4.2

Layer programmable parameters
Up to two layers can be enabled, disabled and configured separately. The layer display
order is fixed and it is bottom up. If two layers are enabled, the layer2 is the top displayed
window.

Windowing
Every layer can be positioned and resized and it must be inside the active display area.
The window position and size are configured through the top-left and bottom-right X/Y
positions and the internal timing generator that includes the synchronous, back porch size
and the active data area. Refer to LTDC_LxWHPCR and LTDC_WVPCR registers.
The programmable layer position and size defines the first/last visible pixel of a line and the
first/last visible line in the window. It allows to display either the full image frame or only a
part of the image frame. Refer to Figure 113.
• The first and the last visible pixel in the layer are set by configuring the WHSTPOS[11:0]
and WHSPPOS[11:0] in the LTDC_LxWHPCR register.
• The first and the last visible lines in the layer are set by configuring the WVSTPOS[10:0]
and WVSPPOS[10:0] in the LTDC_LxWVPCR register.

Pixel input format
The programmable pixel format is used for the data stored in the frame buffer of a layer.
Up to 8 input pixel formats can be configured for every layer through the LTDC_LxPFCR
register
The pixel data is read from the frame buffer and then transformed to the internal 8888
(ARGB) format as follows: components having a width of less than 8 bits get expanded to 8
bits by bit replication. The selected bit range is concatenated multiple times until it is longer
than 8 bits. Of the resulting vector, the 8 MSB bits are chosen. Example: 5 bits of an
RGB565 red channel become (bit positions): 43210432 (the 3 LSBs are filled with the 3
MSBs of the 5 bits)

Color look-up table (CLUT)
The CLUT can be enabled at run-time for every layer through the LTDC_LxCR register and
it is only useful in case of indexed color when using the L8, AL44 and AL88 input pixel
format.
First, the CLUT has to be loaded with the R, G and B values that replace the original R, G, B
values of that pixel (indexed color). Each color (RGB value) has its own address which is the
position within the CLUT.
The R, G and B values and their own respective address are programmed through the
LTDC_LxCLUTWR register.
• In case of L8 and AL88 input pixel format, the CLUT has to be loaded by 256 colors. The
address of each color is configured in the CLUTADD bits in the LTDC_LxCLUTWR
register.
• In case of AL44 input pixel format, the CLUT has to be only loaded by 16 colors. The
address of each color must be filled by replicating the 4-bit L channel to 8-bit as follows:

L0 (indexed color 0), at address 0x00
L1, at address 0x11
L2, at address 0x22
.....
L15, at address 0xFF

Color frame buffer address
Every layer has a start address for the color frame buffer configured through the
LTDC_LxCFBAR register.
When a layer is enabled, the data is fetched from the color frame buffer.

Color frame buffer length
Every layer has a total line length setting for the color frame buffer in bytes and a number of
lines in the frame buffer configurable in the LTDC_LxCFBLR and LTDC_LxCFBLNR register
respectively.
The line length and the number of lines settings are used to stop the prefetching of data to
the layer FIFO at the end of the frame buffer.
•

If it is set to less bytes than required, a FIFO underrun interrupt is generated if it has
been previously enabled.

•

If it is set to more bytes than actually required, the useless data read from the FIFO is
discarded. The useless data is not displayed.

Color frame buffer pitch
Every layer has a configurable pitch for the color frame buffer, which is the distance between
the start of one line and the beginning of the next line in bytes. It is configured through the
LTDC_LxCFBLR register.

Layer blending
The blending is always active and the two layers can be blended following the blending
factors configured through the LTDC_LxBFCR register.
The blending order is fixed and it is bottom up. If two layers are enabled, first the Layer1 is
blended with the Background color, then the layer2 is blended with the result of blended
color of layer1 and the background. Refer to Figure 114.

Default color
Every layer can have a default color in the format ARGB which is used outside the defined
layer window or when a layer is disabled.
The default color is configured through the LTDC_LxDCCR register.
The blending is always performed between the two layers even when a layer is disabled. To
avoid displaying the default color when a layer is disabled, keep the blending factors of this
layer in the LTDC_LxBFCR register to their reset value.

Color keying
A color key (RGB) can be configured to be representative for a transparent pixel.
If the color keying is enabled, the current pixels (after format conversion and before CLUT
respectively blending) are compared to the color key. If they match for the programmed
RGB value, all channels (ARGB) of that pixel are set to 0.
The color key value can be configured and used at run-time to replace the pixel RGB value.
The color keying is enabled through the LTDC_LxCKCR register.
The color keying is configured through the LTDC_LxCKCR register. The programmed value
depends on the pixel format as it is compared to current pixel after pixel format conversion
to ARGB888.
Example: if the a mid-yellow color (50% red + 50% green) is used as the transparent color
key:

18.5

•

In RGB565, the mid-yellow color is 0x8400. Set the LTDC_LxCKCR to 0x848200.

•

In ARGB8888, the mid-yellow color is 0x808000, set LTDC_LxCKCR to 0x808000.

•

In all CLUT-based color modes (L8, AL88, AL44), set one of the palette entry to the
mid-yellow color 0x808000 and set the LTDC_LxCKCR to 0x808000.

LTDC interrupts
The LTDC provides four maskable interrupts logically ORed to two interrupt vectors.
The interrupt sources can be enabled or disabled separately through the LTDC_IER
register. Setting the appropriate mask bit to 1 enables the corresponding interrupt.
The two interrupts are generated on the following events:
•

Line interrupt: generated when a programmed line is reached. The line interrupt

•

Register reload interrupt: generated when the shadow registers reload was performed
during the vertical blanking period

•

LTDC programming procedure
•

Enable the LTDC clock in the RCC register.

•

Configure the required pixel clock following the panel datasheet.

•

Configure the synchronous timings: VSYNC, HSYNC, vertical and horizontal back
porch, active data area and the front porch timings following the panel datasheet as

RM0385 Rev 8

described in the Section 18.4.1: LTDC global configuration parameters.

Note:

520/1724

•

Configure the synchronous signals and clock polarity in the LTDC_GCR register.

•

If needed, configure the background color in the LTDC_BCCR register.

•

Configure the needed interrupts in the LTDC_IER and LTDC_LIPCR register.

•

Configure the layer1/2 parameters by:
–

programming the layer window horizontal and vertical position in the
LTDC_LxWHPCR and LTDC_WVPCR registers. The layer window must be in the
active data area.

–

programming the pixel input format in the LTDC_LxPFCR register

–

programming the color frame buffer start address in the LTDC_LxCFBAR register

–

programming the line length and pitch of the color frame buffer in the
LTDC_LxCFBLR register

–

programming the number of lines of the color frame buffer in the
LTDC_LxCFBLNR register

–

if needed, loading the CLUT with the RGB values and its address in the
LTDC_LxCLUTWR register

–

If needed, configuring the default color and the blending factors respectively in the
LTDC_LxDCCR and LTDC_LxBFCR registers

•

Enable layer1/2 and if needed the CLUT in the LTDC_LxCR register.

•

If needed, enable dithering and color keying respectively in the LTDC_GCR and
LTDC_LxCKCR registers. They can be also enabled on the fly.

•

Reload the shadow registers to active register through the LTDC_SRCR register.

•

Enable the LCD-TFT controller in the LTDC_GCR register.

•

All layer parameters can be modified on the fly except the CLUT. The new configuration
has to be either reloaded immediately or during vertical blanking period by configuring
the LTDC_SRCR register.

All layer’s registers are shadowed. Once a register is written, it must not be modified again
before the reload has been done. Thus, a new write to the same register overrides the
previous configuration if not yet reloaded.

Note:

The constant alpha value, is the programmed value in the LxCACR register divided by 255
by hardware.
Example: Only layer1 is enabled, BF1 configured to constant alpha. BF2 configured to
1 - constant alpha. The constant alpha programmed in the LxCACR register is 240 (0xF0).

Thus, the constant alpha value is 240/255 = 0.94. C: current layer color is 128.
Cs: background color is 48. Layer1 is blended with the background color.
BC = constant alpha x C + (1 - Constant Alpha) x Cs = 0.94 x 128 + (1- 0.94) x 48 = 123.

True random number generator (RNG)

True random number generator (RNG)

19.1

Introduction
The RNG is a true random number generator that continuously provides 32-bit entropy
samples, based on an analog noise source. It can be used by the application as a live
entropy source to build a NIST compliant Deterministic Random Bit Generator (DRBG).
The RNG true random number generator has been validated according to the German
AIS-31 standard.

19.2

RNG main features
•

The RNG delivers 32-bit true random numbers, produced by an analog entropy source
post-processed with linear-feedback shift registers (LFSR).

•

It is validated according to the AIS-31 pre-defined class PTG.2 evaluation methodology,
which is part of the German Common Criteria (CC) scheme.

•

It produces one 32-bit random samples every 42 RNG clock cycles (dedicated clock).

•

It allows embedded continuous basic health tests with associated error management
–

Includes too low sampling clock detection and repetition count tests.

•

It can be disabled to reduce power consumption.

•

It has an AMBA AHB slave peripheral, accessible through 32-bit word single accesses
only (else an AHB bus error is generated). Warning! any write not equal to 32 bits might
corrupt the register content.

True random number generator (RNG)

Random number generation
The true random number generator (RNG) delivers truly random data through its AHB
interface at deterministic intervals. The RNG implements the entropy source model pictured
on Figure 117, and provides three main functions to the application:
•

Collects the bitstring output of the entropy source box

•

Obtains samples of the noise source for validation purpose

•

Collects error messages from continuous health tests

The main components of the RNG are:
•

A source of physical randomness (analog noise source)

•

A digitization stage for this analog noise source

•

A stage delivering post-processed noise source (raw data)

•

An output buffer for the raw data. If further cryptographic conditioning is required by the
application it will need to be performed by software.

•

An optional output for the digitized noise source (unbuffered, on digital pads)

•

Basic health tests on the digitized noise source

All those components are detailed below.

Noise source
The noise source is the component that contains the non-deterministic, entropy-providing
activity that is ultimately responsible for the uncertainty associated with the bitstring output
by the entropy source. It is composed of:
•

Two analog noise sources, each based on three XORed free-running ring oscillator
outputs. It is possible to disable those analog oscillators to save power, as described in

RM0385 Rev 8

545/1724
554

True random number generator (RNG)

RM0385

Section 19.4: RNG low-power usage.
•

A sampling stage of these outputs clocked by a dedicated clock input (rng_clk),
delivering a 2-bit raw data output.

This noise source sampling is independent to the AHB interface clock frequency
(rng_hclk).
Note:

In Section 19.7: Entropy source validation recommended RNG clock frequencies are given.

Post processing
The sample values obtained from a true random noise source consist of 2-bit bitstrings.
Because this noise source output is biased, the RNG implements a post-processing
component that reduces that bias to a tolerable level.
The RNG post-processing consists of two stages, applied to each noise source bits:
•

The RNG takes half of the bits from the sampled noise source, and half of the bits from
inverted sampled noise source. Thus, if the source generates more ‘1’ than ‘0’ (or the
opposite), it is filtered

•

A linear feedback shift register (LFSR) performs a whitening process, producing 8-bit
strings.

This component is clocked by the RNG clock.
The times required between two random number generations, and between the RNG
initialization and availability of first sample are described in Section 19.6: RNG processing
time.

Output buffer
The RNG_DR data output register can store up to two 16-bit words which have been output
from the post-processing component (LFSR). In order to read back 32-bit random samples it
is required to wait 42 RNG clock cycles.
Whenever a random number is available through the RNG_DR register the DRDY flag
transitions from “0” to “1”. This flag remains high until output buffer becomes empty after
reading one word from the RNG_DR register.
Note:

546/1724

When interrupts are enabled an interrupt is generated when this data ready flag transitions
from “0” to “1”. Interrupt is then cleared automatically by the RNG as explained above.

Health checks
This component ensures that the entire entropy source (with its noise source) starts then
operates as expected, obtaining assurance that failures are caught quickly and with a high
probability and reliability.
The RNG implements the following health check features:
1.

2.

Behavior tests, applied to the entropy source at run-time
–

Repetition count test, flagging an error when:

a)

One of the noise source has provided more than 64 consecutive bits at a constant
value (“0” or “1”)

b)

One of the noise sources has delivered more than 32 consecutive occurrence of
two bits patterns (“01” or “10”)

Vendor specific continuous test
–

Real-time “too slow” sampling clock detector, flagging an error when one RNG
clock cycle is smaller than AHB clock cycle divided by 16.

The CECS and SECS status bits in the RNG_SR register indicate when an error condition is
detected, as detailed in Section 19.3.7: Error management.
Note:

An interrupt can be generated when an error is detected.

19.3.4

RNG initialization
When a hardware reset occurs the following chain of events occurs:
1.

The analog noise source is enabled, and logic starts sampling the analog output after
four RNG clock cycles, filling LFSR shift register and associated 16-bit post-processing
shift register.

2.

The output buffer is refilled automatically according to the RNG usage.

The associated initialization time can be found in Section 19.6: RNG processing time.

19.3.5

RNG operation
Normal operations
To run the RNG using interrupts the following steps are recommended:
1.

Enable the interrupts by setting the IE bit in the RNG_CR register. At the same time
enable the RNG by setting the bit RNGEN=1.

2.

An interrupt is now generated when a random number is ready or when an error
occurs. Therefore at each interrupt, check that:
–

No error occurred. The SEIS and CEIS bits should be set to ‘0’ in the RNG_SR
register.

–

A random number is ready. The DRDY bit must be set to ‘1’ in the RNG_SR
register.

–

If above two conditions are true the content of the RNG_DR register can be read.

RM0385 Rev 8

547/1724
554

True random number generator (RNG)

RM0385

To run the RNG in polling mode following steps are recommended:
1.

Enable the random number generation by setting the RNGEN bit to “1” in the RNG_CR
register.

2.

Read the RNG_SR register and check that:

3.
Note:

–

No error occurred (the SEIS and CEIS bits should be set to ‘0’)

–

A random number is ready (the DRDY bit should be set to ‘1’)

If above conditions are true read the content of the RNG_DR register.

When data is not ready (DRDY=”0”) RNG_DR returns zero.

Low-power operations
If the power consumption is a concern to the application, low-power strategies can be used,
as described in Section 19.4: RNG low-power usage on page 549.

Software post-processing
If a NIST approved DRBG with 128 bits of security strength is required an approved random
generator software must be built around the RNG true random number generator.

19.3.6

RNG clocking
The RNG runs on two different clocks: the AHB bus clock and a dedicated RNG clock.
The AHB clock is used to clock the AHB banked registers and the post-processing
component. The RNG clock is used for noise source sampling. Recommended clock
configurations are detailed in Section 19.7: Entropy source validation.

Caution:

When the CED bit in the RNG_CR register is set to “0”, the RNG clock frequency must be
higher than AHB clock frequency divided by 16, otherwise the clock checker will flag a clock
error (CECS or CEIS in the RNG_SR register) and the RNG will stop producing random
numbers.
See Section 19.3.1: RNG block diagram for details (AHB and RNG clock domains).

19.3.7

Error management
In parallel to random number generation an health check block verifies the correct noise
source behavior and the frequency of the RNG source clock as detailed in this section.
Associated error state is also described.

Clock error detection
When the clock error detection is enabled (CED = 0) and if the RNG clock frequency is too
low, the RNG stops generating random numbers and sets to “1” both the CEIS and CECS
bits to indicate that a clock error occurred. In this case, the application should check that the
RNG clock is configured correctly (see Section 19.3.6: RNG clocking) and then it must clear
the CEIS bit interrupt flag. As soon as the RNG clock operates correctly, the CECS bit will
be automatically cleared.
The RNG operates only when the CECS flag is set to “0”. However note that the clock error
has no impact on the previously generated random numbers, and the RNG_DR register
contents can still be used.

548/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

True random number generator (RNG)

Noise source error detection
When a noise source (or seed) error occurs, the RNG stops generating random numbers
and sets to “1” both SEIS and SECS bits to indicate that a seed error occurred. If a value is
available in the RNG_DR register, it must not be used as it may not have enough entropy.
In order to fully recover from a seed error application must clear the SEIS bit by writing it to
“0”, then clear and set the RNGEN bit to reinitialize and restart the RNG.

19.4

RNG low-power usage
If power consumption is a concern, the RNG can be disabled as soon as the DRDY bit is set
to “1” by setting the RNGEN bit to “0” in the RNG_CR register. The 32-bit random value
stored in the RNG_DR register will be still be available. If a new random is needed the
application will need to re-enable the RNG and wait for 42+4 RNG clock cycles.
When disabling the RNG the user deactivates all the analog seed generators, whose power
consumption is given in the datasheet electrical characteristics section.

19.5

RNG interrupts
In the RNG an interrupt can be produced on the following events:
•

Data ready flag

•

Seed error, see Section 19.3.7: Error management

•

Clock error, see Section 19.3.7: Error management

Dedicated interrupt enable control bits are available as shown in Table 122

The user can enable or disable the above interrupt sources individually by changing the
mask bits or the general interrupt control bit IE in the RNG_CR register. The status of the
individual interrupt sources can be read from the RNG_SR register.
Note:

Interrupts are generated only when RNG is enabled.

19.6

RNG processing time
The RNG can produce one 32-bit random numbers every 42 RNG clock cycles.
After enabling or re-enabling the RNG using the RNGEN bit it takes 46 RNG clock cycles
before random data are available.

Entropy source validation

19.7.1

Introduction
In order to assess the amount of entropy available from the RNG, STMicroelectronics has
tested the peripheral against AIS-31 PTG.2 set of tests. The results can be provided on
demand or the customer can reproduce the measurements using the AIS reference
software. The customer could also test the RNG against an older NIST SP800-22 set of
tests.

19.7.2

Validation conditions
STMicroelectronics has validated the RNG true random number generator in the following
conditions:

19.7.3

•

RNG clock rng_clk= 48 MHz (CED bit = ‘0’ in RNG_CR register) and rng_clk= 400kHz
(CED bit=”1” in RNG_CR)

•

AHB clock rng_hclk= 60 MHz

Data collection
If raw data needs to be read instead of pre-processed data the developer is invited to
contact STMicroelectronics to receive the correct procedure to follow.

This section applies to the whole STM32F756xx and STM32F750xx devices, unless
otherwise specified.

20.1

Introduction
The cryptographic processor (CRYP) can be used both to encrypt and decrypt data using
the DES, Triple-DES or AES algorithms. It is a fully compliant implementation of the
following standards:
•

The data encryption standard (DES) and Triple-DES (TDES) as defined by Federal
Information Processing Standards Publication (FIPS PUB 46-3, Oct 1999), and the
American National Standards Institute (ANSI X9.52)

•

The advanced encryption standard (AES) as defined by Federal Information
Processing Standards Publication (FIPS PUB 197, Nov 2001)

Multiple key sizes and chaining modes are supported:

parity per key

•

AES chaining modes ECB, CBC, CTR, GCM, GMAC, CCM for key sizes of 128, 192 or
256 bits

The CRYP is a 32-bit AHB peripheral. It supports DMA transfers for incoming and outgoing
data (two DMA channels are required). The peripheral also includes input and output FIFOs
(each 8 words deep) for better performance.
The CRYP peripheral provides hardware acceleration to AES and DES cryptographic
algorithms packaged in STM32 cryptographic library.

CRYP DES/TDES cryptographic core
Overview
The DES/Triple-DES cryptographic core consists of three components:
•

The DES Algorithm (DEA core)

•

Multiple keys (one for the DES algorithm, one to three for the TDES algorithm)

•

The initialization vector, which is used only in CBC mode

The DES/Triple-DES cryptographic core provides two operating modes:
•

ALGODIR=0: Plaintext encryption using the key stored in the CRYP_Kx registers.

•

ALGODIR=1: Ciphertext decryption using the key stored in the CRYP_Kx registers.

The operating mode is selected by programming the ALGODIR bit in the CRYP_CR
register.

Typical data processing
Typical usage of the cryptographic processor in DES modes can be found
inSection 20.3.10: CRYP DES/TDES basic chaining modes (ECB, CBC).
Note:

The outputs of the intermediate DEA stages are never revealed outside the cryptographic
boundary, with the exclusion of the IV registers in CBC mode.

DES keying and chaining modes
The TDES allows three different keying options:

•

Three independent keys
The first option specifies that all the keys are independent, that is, K1, K2 and K3 are
independent. FIPS PUB 46-3 – 1999 (and ANSI X9.52 – 1998) refers to this option as
the Keying Option 1 and, to the TDES as 3-key TDES.

•

Two independent keys
The second option specifies that K1 and K2 are independent and K3 is equal to K1,
that is, K1 and K2 are independent, K3 = K1. FIPS PUB 46-3 – 1999 (and ANSI X9.52
– 1998) refers to this second option as the Keying Option 2 and, to the TDES as 2-key
TDES.

•

Three equal keys
The third option specifies that K1, K2 and K3 are equal, that is:
K1 = K2 = K3
FIPS PUB 46-3 – 1999 (and ANSI X9.52 – 1998) refers to the third option as the
Keying Option 3. This “1-key” TDES is equivalent to single DES.

The following chaining algorithms are supported by the DES hardware and can be selected
through the ALGOMODE bits in the CRYP_CR register:
•

Electronic Code Book (ECB)

•

Cipher Block Chaining (CBC)

These modes are described in details in Section 20.3.10: CRYP DES/TDES basic chaining
modes (ECB, CBC).

CRYP AES cryptographic core
Overview
The AES cryptographic core consists of the following components:
•

The AES Algorithm (AEA core)

•

The Multiplier over a binary Galois field (GF2mul)

•

The key information

•

The initialization vector (IV) or Nonce information

•

Chaining algorithms logic (XOR, feedback/counter, mask)

The AES core works on 128-bit data blocks of (four words) with 128-, 192- or 256-bit key
lengths. Depending on the chaining mode, the peripheral requires zero or one 128-bit
initialization vector (IV).
The cryptographic peripheral features two operating modes:
•

ALGODIR=0: Plaintext encryption using the key stored in the CRYP_Kx registers.

•

ALGODIR=1: Ciphertext decryption using the key stored in the CRYP_Kx registers.
When ECB and CBC chaining modes are selected, an initial key derivation process is
automatically performed by the cryptographic peripheral.

The operating mode is selected by programming the ALGODIR bit in the CRYP_CR
register.

Typical data processing
A description of cryptographic processor typical usage in AES mode can be found in
Section 20.3.11: CRYP AES basic chaining modes (ECB, CBC).
Note:

The outputs of the intermediate AEA stages is never revealed outside the cryptographic
boundary, with the exclusion of the IV registers.

AES chaining modes
The following chaining algorithms are supported by the cryptographic processor and can be
selected through the ALGOMODE bits in the CRYP_CR register:
•

Electronic Code Book (ECB)

•

Cipher Block Chaining (CBC)

•

Counter Mode (CTR)

•

Galois/Counter Mode (GCM)

•

Galois Message Authentication Code mode (GMAC)

•

Counter with CBC-MAC (CCM)

A quick introduction on these chaining modes can be found in the following subsections.

ECB is the simplest operating mode. There are no chaining operations, and no special
initialization stage. The message is divided into blocks and each block is encrypted or
decrypted separately.
Note:

For decryption, a special key scheduling is required before processing the first block.

CBC operating mode chains the output of each block with the input of the following block. To
make each message unique, an initialization vector is used during the first block processing.

AES Counter mode (CTR)

The CTR mode uses the AES core to generate a key stream; these keys are then XORed
with the plaintext to obtain the ciphertext as specified in NIST Special Publication 800-38A,
Recommendation for Block Cipher Modes of Operation.
Note:

562/1724

Unlike ECB and CBC modes, no key scheduling is required for the CTR decryption, since in
this chaining scheme the AES core is always used in encryption mode for producing the
counter blocks.

AES Galois/Counter mode (GCM)
Figure 122. AES-GCM mode overview

In Galois/Counter mode (GCM), the plaintext message is encrypted, while a message
authentication code (MAC) is computed in parallel, thus generating the corresponding
ciphertext and its MAC (also known as authentication tag). It is defined in NIST Special
Publication 800-38D, Recommendation for Block Cipher Modes of Operation Galois/Counter Mode (GCM) and GMAC.
GCM mode is based on AES in counter mode for confidentiality. It uses a multiplier over a
fixed finite field for computing the message authentication code. It requires an initial value
and a particular 128-bit block at the end of the message.

Galois Message Authentication Code (GMAC) allows authenticating a message and
generating the corresponding message authentication code (MAC). It is defined in NIST
Special Publication 800-38D, Recommendation for Block Cipher Modes of Operation Galois/Counter Mode (GCM) and GMAC.
GMAC is similar to Galois/Counter mode (GCM), except that it is applied on a message
composed only by clear-text authenticated data (i.e. only header, no payload).

AES Counter with CBC-MAC (CCM)
Figure 124. AES-CCM mode overview

In Counter with Cipher Block Chaining-Message Authentication Code (CCM), the plaintext
message is encrypted while a message authentication code (MAC) is computed in parallel,
thus generating the corresponding ciphertext and the corresponding MAC (also known as
tag). It is described by NIST in Special Publication 800-38C, Recommendation for Block
Cipher Modes of Operation - The CCM Mode for Authentication and Confidentiality.
CCM mode is based on AES in counter mode for confidentiality and it uses CBC for
computing the message authentication code. It requires an initial value.
Like GCM CCM chaining mode, AES-CCM mode can be applied on a message composed
only by cleartext authenticated data (i.e. only header, no payload). Note that this way of
using CCM is not called CMAC (it is not similar to GCM/GMAC), and its usage is not
recommended by NIST.

CRYP initialization
1.

566/1724

Initialize the cryptographic processor. The order of operations is not important except
for AES-ECB and AES-CBC decryption, where the key preparation requires a specific
sequence.
a)

Disable the cryptographic processor by setting to 0 the CRYPEN bit in the
CRYP_CR register.

b)

Configure the key size (128-, 192- or 256-bit, in the AES only) with the KEYSIZE
bits in the CRYP_CR register.

c)

Write the symmetric key into the CRYP_KxL/R registers (2 to 8 registers to be
written depending on the algorithm).

d)

Configure the data type (1-, 8-, 16- or 32-bit), with the DATATYPE bits in the
CRYP_CR register.

e)

In case of decryption in AES-ECB or AES-CBC mode, prepare the key that has
been written. First configure the key preparation mode by setting the ALGOMODE
bits to 0b111 in the CRYP_CR register. Then write the CRYPEN bit to 1: the BUSY

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Cryptographic processor (CRYP)
bit is set automatically. Wait until BUSY returns to 0 (CRYPEN is automatically
cleared as well): the key is prepared for decryption.

2.

f)

Configure the algorithm and chaining with the ALGOMODE bits in the CRYP_CR
register.

g)

Configure the direction (encryption/decryption) through the ALGODIR bit in the
CRYP_CR register.

h)

When it is required (e.g. CBC or CTR chaining modes), write the initialization
vectors into the CRYP_IVxL/R register.

Flush the IN and OUT FIFOs by writing the FFLUSH bit to 1 in the CRYP_CR register.

Preliminary warning for all cases
If the ECB or CBC mode is selected and data are not a multiple of 64 bits (for DES) or 128
bits (for AES), the second and the last block management is more complex than the
sequences below. Refer to Section 20.3.8: CRYP stealing and data padding for more
details.

Appending data using the CPU in polling mode
1.

Enable the cryptographic processor by setting to 1 the CRYPEN bit in the CRYP_CR
register.

2.

Write data in the IN FIFO (one block or until the FIFO is full).

3.

Repeat the following sequence until the second last block of data has been processed:
a)

Wait until the not-empty-flag OFNE is set to 1, then read the OUT FIFO (one block
or until the FIFO is empty).

b)

Wait until the not-full-flag IFNF is set to 1, then write the IN FIFO (one block or until
the FIFO is full) except if it is the last block.

4.

The BUSY bit is set automatically by the cryptographic processor. At the end of the
processing, the BUSY bit returns to 0 and both FIFOs are empty (IN FIFO empty flag
IFEM=1 and OUT FIFO not empty flag OFNE=0).

5.

If the next processing block is the last block, the CPU must pad (when applicable) the
data with zeroes to obtain a complete block

6.

When the operation is complete, the cryptographic processor can be disabled by
clearing the CRYPEN bit in CRYP_CR register.

Appending data using the CPU in interrupt mode
1.

Enable the interrupts by setting the INIM and OUTIM bits in the CRYP_IMSCR register.

2.

Enable the cryptographic processor by setting to 1 the CRYPEN bit in the CRYP_CR
register.

3.

4.

In the interrupt service routine that manages the input data:
a)

If the last block is being loaded, the CPU must pad (when applicable) the data with
zeroes to have a complete block. Then load the block into the IN FIFO.

b)

If it is not the last block, load the data into the IN FIFO. You can load only one
block (2 words for DES, 4 words for AES), or load data until the FIFO is full.

c)

In all cases, after the last word of data has been written, disable the interrupt by
clearing the INIM interrupt mask.

In the interrupt service routine that manages the input data:

RM0385 Rev 8

567/1724
622

Cryptographic processor (CRYP)

RM0385

a)

Read the output data from the OUT FIFO. You can read only one block (2 words
for DES, 4 words for AES), or read data until the FIFO is empty.

b)

When the last word has been read, INIM and BUSY bits are set to 0 and both
FIFOs are empty (IFEM=1 and OFNE=0). You can disable the interrupt by clearing
the OUTIM bit, and disable the peripheral by clearing the CRYPEN bit.

c)

If you read the last block of cleartext data (i.e. decryption), optionally discard the
data that is not part of message/payload.

Appending data using the DMA
1.

Prepare the last block of data by optionally padding it with zeroes to have a complete
block.

2.

Configure the DMA controller to transfer the input data from the memory and transfer
the output data from the peripheral to the memory, as described in Section 20.3.19:
CRYP DMA interface. The DMA should be configured to set an interrupt on transfer
completion to indicate that the processing is complete.

3.

Enable the cryptographic processor by setting to 1 the CRYPEN bit in CRYP_CR
register, then enable the DMA IN and OUT requests by setting to 1 the DIEN and
DOEN bits in the CRYP_DMACR register.

4.

All the transfers and processing are managed by the DMA and the cryptographic
processor. The DMA interrupt indicates that the processing is complete. Both FIFOs
are normally empty and BUSY flag is set 0.

Caution:

It is important that DMA controller empties the cryptographic processor output FIFO before
filling up the cryptographic processor input FIFO. To achieve this, the DMA controller should
be configured so that the transfer from the cryptographic peripheral to the memory has a
higher priority than the transfer from the memory to the cryptographic peripheral.

20.3.6

CRYP busy state
The cryptographic processor is busy and processing data (BUSY set to 1 in CRYP_SR
register) when all the conditions below are met:
•

CRYPEN = 1 in CRYP_CR register.

•

There are enough data in the input FIFO (at least two words for the DES or TDES
algorithm mode, four words for the AES algorithm mode).

•

There is enough free-space in the output FIFO (at least two word locations for DES,
four for AES).

Write operations to the CRYP_Kx(L/R)R key registers, to the CRYP_IVx(L/R)R initialization
registers, or to bits [9:2] of the CRYP_CR register, are ignored when cryptographic
processor is busy (i.e. the registers are not modified). It is thus not possible to modify the
configuration of the cryptographic processor while it is processing a data block.
It is possible to clear the CRYPEN bit while BUSY bit is set to 1. In this case the ongoing
DES/TDES or AES processing first completes (i.e. the word results are written to the output
FIFO) before the BUSY bit is cleared by hardware.
Note:

If the application needs to suspend a message to process another one with a higher priority,
refer to Section 20.3.9: CRYP suspend/resume operations
When a block is being processed in DES or TDES mode, if the output FIFO becomes full
and the input FIFO contains at least one new block, then the new block is popped off the

568/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Cryptographic processor (CRYP)
input FIFO and the BUSY bit remains high until there is enough space to store this new
block into the output FIFO.

20.3.7

Preparing the CRYP AES key for decryption
When performing an AES ECB or CBC decryption, the AES key has to be prepared, i.e. a
complete key schedule of encryption is required before performing the decryption. In other
words, the key in the last round of encryption must be used as the first round key for
decryption.
This preparation is not required in any other AES modes than AES ECB or CBC decryption.
If the application software stores somehow the initial key prepared for decryption, the key
scheduling operation can be performed only once for all the data to be decrypted with a
given cipher key.

Note:

The latency of the key preparation operation is 14, 16 or 18 clock cycles depending on the
key size (128-, 192- or 256-bit).
The CRYP key preparation process is performed as follow:
1.

Write the encryption key to K0...K3 key registers.

2.

Program ALGOMODE bits to 0b111 in CRYP_CR. Writing this value when CRYPEN is
et to 1 immediately starts an AES round for key preparation. The BUSY bit in the
CRYP_SR register is set to 1.

3.

When the key processing is complete, the resulting key is copied back into the K0...K3
key registers, and the BUSY bit is cleared.

Note:

As the CRYPEN bitfield is reset by hardware at the end of the key preparation, the
application software must set it again for the next operation.

20.3.8

CRYP stealing and data padding
When using DES or AES algorithm in ECB or CBC modes to manage messages that are
not multiple of the block size (64 bits for DES, 128 bits for AES), use ciphertext stealing
techniques such as those described in NIST Special Publication 800-38A, Recommendation
for Block Cipher Modes of Operation: Three Variants of Ciphertext Stealing for CBC Mode.
Since the cryptographic processor does not implement such techniques, the last two
blocks must be handled in a special way by the application.

Note:

Ciphertext stealing techniques are not documented in this reference manual.
Similarly, when the AES algorithm is used in other modes than ECB or CBC, incomplete
input data blocks (i.e. block shorter than 128 bits) have to be padded with zeroes by the
application prior to encryption (i.e. extra bits should be appended to the trailing end of the
data string). After decryption, the extra bits have to be discarded. The cryptographic
processor does not implement automatic data padding operation to the last block, so the
application should follow the recommendation given in Section 20.3.5: CRYP procedure to
perform a cipher operation to manage messages that are not multiple of 128 bits.

Note:

Padding data are swapped in a similar way as normal data, according to the DATATYPE
field in CRYP_CR register (see Section 20.3.16: CRYP data registers and data swapping for
details).

With this version of cryptographic processor, a special workaround is required in order to
properly compute authentication tags while doing a GCM encryption or a CCM decryption
with the last block of payload size inferior to 128 bits. This workaround is described below:
•

•

570/1724

During GCM encryption payload phase and before inserting a last plaintext block
smaller than 128 bits, the application has to follow the below sequence:
a)

Disable the peripheral by setting the CRYPEN bit to 0 in CRYP_CR.

b)

Load CRYP_IV1R register content in a temporary variable. Decrement the value
by 1 and reinsert the result in CRYP_IV1R register.

c)

Change the AES mode to CTR mode by writing the ALGOMODE bitfield to 0b0110
in the CRYP_CR register.

a)

Set the CRYPEN bit to 1 in CRYP_CR to enable again the peripheral.

b)

Pad the last block (smaller than 128 bits) with zeros to have a complete block of
128 bits, then write it into CRYP_DIN register.

c)

Upon encryption completion, read the 128-bit generated ciphertext from the
CRYP_DOUT register and store it as intermediate data.

d)

Change again the AES mode to GCM mode by writing the ALGOMODE bitfield to
0b1000 in the CRYP_CR register.

e)

Select Final phase by writing the GCM_CCMPH bitfield to 0b11 in the CRYP_CR
register.

f)

In the intermediate data, set to 0 the bits corresponding to the padded bits of the
last payload block then insert the resulting data to CRYP_DIN register.

g)

When the operation is complete, read data from CRYP_DOUT. These data have
to be discarded.

h)

Apply the normal Final phase as described in Section 20.3.13: CRYP AES
Galois/counter mode (GCM).

During CCM decryption payload phase and before inserting a last ciphertext block
smaller than 128 bits, the application has to follow the below sequence:
a)

To disable the peripheral, set the CRYPEN bit to 0 in CRYP_CR.

b)

Load CRYP_IV1R in a temporary variable (named here IV1temp).

c)

Load CRYP_CSGCMCCM0R, CRYP_CSGCMCCM1R, CRYP_CSGCMCCM2R,
and CRYP_CSGCMCCM3R registers content from LSB to MSB in 128-bit
temporary variable (named here temp1).

d)

Load in CRYP_IV1R the content previously stored in IV1temp.

e)

Change the AES mode to CTR mode by writing the ALGOMODE bitfield to 0b0110
in the CRYP_CR register.

a)

Set the CRYPEN bit to 1 in CRYP_CR to enable again the peripheral.

b)

Pad the last block (smaller than 128 bits) with zeros to have a complete block of
128 bits, then write it to CRYP_DIN register.

c)

Upon decryption completion, read the 128-bit generated data from DOUT register,
and store them as intermediate data (here named intdata_o).

d)

Save again CRYP_CSGCMCCM0R, CRYP_CSGCMCCM1R,
CRYP_CSGCMCCM2R, and CRYP_CSGCMCCM3R registers content, from LSB
to MSB, in a new 128-bit temporary variable (named here temp2).

CRYP suspend/resume operations
A message can be suspended if another message with a higher priority has to be
processed. When this highest priority message has been sent, the suspended message can
be resumed in both encryption or decryption mode.
Suspend/resume operations do not break the chaining operation and the message
processing can be resumed as soon as cryptographic processor is enabled again to receive
the next data block.
Figure 127 gives an example of suspend.resume operation: message 1 is suspended in
order to send a higher priority message (message 2), which is shorter than message 1 (AES
algorithm).

A 64-bit plaintext data block (P) is used after bit/byte/half-word as the input block (I). The
input block is processed through the DEA in the encrypt state using K1. The output of this
process is fed back directly to the input of the DEA where the DES is performed in the

A 64-bit ciphertext block (C) is used, after bit/byte/half-word swapping, as the input block (I).
The keying sequence is reversed compared to that used in the encryption process. The
input block is processed through the DEA in the decrypt state using K3. The output of this
process is fed back directly to the input of the DEA where the DES is performed in the
encrypt state using K2. The new result is directly fed to the input of the DEA where the DES

K: key; C: cipher text; I: input block; O: output block; Ps: plain text before swapping (when
decoding) or after swapping (when encoding); P: plain text; IV: initialization vectors.
This mode begins by dividing a plaintext message into 64-bit data blocks. In TCBC
encryption, the first input block (I1), obtained after bit/byte/half-word swapping, is formed by
exclusive-ORing the first plaintext data block (P1) with a 64-bit initialization vector IV
(I1 = IV ⊕ P1). The input block is processed through the DEA in the encrypt state using K1.
The output of this process is fed back directly to the input of the DEA, which performs the
DES in the decrypt state using K2. The output of this process is fed directly to the input of
the DEA, which performs the DES in the encrypt state using K3. The resultant 64-bit output
block (O1) is used directly as the ciphertext (C1), that is, C1 = O1.
This first ciphertext block is then exclusive-ORed with the second plaintext data block to
produce the second input block, (I2) = (C1 ⊕ P2). Note that I2 and P2 now refer to the second
block. The second input block is processed through the TDEA to produce the second
ciphertext block.
This encryption process continues to “chain” successive cipher and plaintext blocks
together until the last plaintext block in the message is encrypted.
If the message does not consist of an integral number of data blocks, then the final partial
data block should be encrypted in a manner specified for the application.

In this mode the first ciphertext block (C1) is used directly as the input block (I1). The keying
sequence is reversed compared to that used for the encrypt process. The input block is
processed through the DEA in the decrypt state using K3. The output of this process is fed
directly to the input of the DEA where the DES is processed in the encrypt state using K2.
This resulting value is directly fed to the input of the DEA where the DES is processed in the
decrypt state using K1. The resulting output block is exclusive-ORed with the IV (which must
be the same as that used during encryption) to produce the first plaintext block (P1 = O1
⊕ IV).
The second ciphertext block is then used as the next input block and is processed through
the TDEA. The resulting output block is exclusive-ORed with the first ciphertext block to
produce the second plaintext data block (P2 = O2 ⊕ C1). Note that P2 and O2 refer to the
second block of data.

DES/TDES suspend/resume operations in ECB/CBC modes
Before interrupting the current message, the user application must respect the following
steps:

Note:

1.

If DMA is used, stop the DMA transfers to the IN FIFO by clearing to 0 the DIEN bit in
the CRYP_DMACR register.

2.

Wait until both the IN and the OUT FIFOs are empty (IFEM=1 and OFNE=0 in the
CRYP_SR) and the BUSY bit is cleared. Alternatively, as the input FIFO can contain up
to four unprocessed DES blocks, the application could decide for real-time reason to
interrupt the cryptographic processing without waiting for the IN FIFO to be empty. In
this case, the alternative is:
a)

Wait until OUT FIFO is empty (OFNE=0).

b)

Read back the data loaded in the IN FIFO that have not been processed and save
them in the memory until the IN FIFO is empty.

3.

If DMA is used stop the DMA transfers from the OUT FIFO by clearing to 0 the DOEN
bit in the CRYP_DMACR register.

4.

Disable the cryptographic processor by setting the CRYPEN bit to 0 in CRYP_CR, then
save the current configuration (bits [9:2] in the CRYP_CR register). If CBC mode is
selected, save the initialization vector registers, since CRYP_IVx registers have
changed from initial values during the data processing.

Key registers do not need to be saved as the original key value is known by the application.
5.

If DMA is used, save the DMA controller status (such as the pointers to IN and OUT
data transfers, number of remaining bytes).

To resume message processing, the user application must respect the following sequence:

576/1724

1.

If DMA is used, reconfigure the DMA controller to complete the rest of the FIFO IN and
FIFO OUT transfers.

2.

Make sure the cryptographic processor is disabled by reading the CRYPEN bit in
CRYP_CR (it must be 0).

3.

Configure again the cryptographic processor with the initial setting in CRYP_CR, as
well as the key registers using the saved configuration.

4.

If the CBC mode is selected, restore CRYP_IVx registers using the saved
configuration.

5.

Optionally, write the data that were saved during context saving into the IN FIFO.

6.

Enable the cryptographic processor by setting the CRYPEN bit to 1.

7.

If DMA is used, enable again DMA requests for the cryptographic processor, by setting
to 1 the DIEN and DOEN bits in the CRYP_DMACR register.

CRYP AES basic chaining modes (ECB, CBC)
Overview
FIPS PUB 197 (November 26, 2001) provides a thorough explanation of the processing
involved in the four basic operation modes supplied by the AES computing core: AES-ECB
encryption, AES-ECB decryption, AES-CBC encryption and AES-CBC decryption. This
section only gives a brief explanation of each mode.

AES ECB encryption
Figure 132 illustrates the AES Electronic codebook (AES-ECB) mode encryption. This
mode is selected by writing ALGOMODE to 0b100 and ALGODIR to 0 in CRYP_CR.

If Key size = 192: Key = [K3 K2 K1]
If Key size = 256: Key = [K3 K2 K1 K0].

In this mode a 128- bit plaintext data block (P) is used after bit/byte/half-word swapping as
the input block (I). The input block is processed through the AEA in the encrypt state using
the 128, 192 or 256-bit key. The resultant 128-bit output block (O) is used after bit/byte/halfword swapping as ciphertext (C). It is then pushed into the OUT FIFO.

data swapping.

2. If Key size = 128 => Key = [K3 K2].
If Key size = 192 => Key = [K3 K2 K1]
If Key size = 256 => Key = [K3 K2 K1 K0].

To perform an AES decryption in ECB mode, the secret key has to be prepared (it is
necessary to execute the complete key schedule for encryption) by collecting the last round
key, and using it as the first round key for the decryption of the ciphertext. This preparation
phase is computed by the AES core. Refer to Section 20.3.7: Preparing the CRYP AES key
for decryption for more details on how to prepare the key.
When the key preparation is complete, the decryption proceed as follow: a 128-bit ciphertext
block (C) is used after bit/byte/half-word swapping as the input block (I). The keying
sequence is reversed compared to that of the encryption process. The resultant 128-bit
output block (O), after bit/byte or half-word swapping, produces the plaintext (P). The AESCBC decryption process continues in this manner until the last complete ciphertext block
has been decrypted.

data swapping.

If Key size = 192 => Key = [K3 K2 K1]
If Key size = 256 => Key = [K3 K2 K1 K0].

In this mode the first input block (I1) obtained after bit/byte/half-word swapping is formed by
exclusive-ORing the first plaintext data block (P1) with a 128-bit initialization vector IV (I1 =
IV ⊕ P1). The input block is processed through the AEA in the encrypt state using the 128-,
192- or 256-bit key (K0...K3). The resultant 128-bit output block (O1) is used directly as
ciphertext (C1), that is, C1 = O1. This first ciphertext block is then exclusive-ORed with the
second plaintext data block to produce the second input block, (I2) = (C1 ⊕ P2). Note that I2
and P2 now refer to the second block. The second input block is processed through the AEA
to produce the second ciphertext block. This encryption process continues to “chain”
successive cipher and plaintext blocks together until the last plaintext block in the message
is encrypted.
If the message does not consist of an integral number of data blocks, then the final partial
data block should be encrypted in a manner specified for the application, as explained in
Section 20.3.8: CRYP stealing and data padding.

AES suspend/resume operations in ECB/CBC modes
Before interrupting the current message, the user application must respect the following
sequence:

Note:

1.

If DMA is used, stop the DMA transfers to the IN FIFO by clearing to 0 the DIEN bit in
the CRYP_DMACR register.

2.

Wait until both the IN and the OUT FIFOs are empty (IFEM=1 and OFNE=0 in the
CRYP_SR) and the BUSY bit is cleared.

3.

If DMA is used, stop the DMA transfers from the OUT FIFO by clearing to 0 the DOEN
bit in the CRYP_DMACR register.

4.

Disable the CRYP by setting the CRYPEN bit to 0 in CRYP_CR, then save the current
configuration (bits [9:2] in the CRYP_CR register). If ECB mode is not selected, save
the initialization vector registers, because CRYP_IVx registers have changed from
initial values during the data processing.

Key registers do not need to be saved as the original key value is known by the application.
5.

If DMA is used, save the DMA controller status (such as pointers to IN and OUT data
transfers, number of remaining bytes).

To resume message processing, the user application must respect the following sequence:
1.

If DMA is used, reconfigure the DMA controller to complete the rest of the FIFO IN and
FIFO OUT transfers.

2.

Make sure the cryptographic processor is disabled by reading the CRYPEN bit in
CRYP_CR (it must be set to 0).

3.

Configure the cryptographic processor again with the initial setting in CRYP_CR, as
well as the key registers using the saved configuration.

4.

For AES-ECB or AES-CBC decryption, the key must be prepared again, as described
in Section 20.3.7: Preparing the CRYP AES key for decryption.

5.

If ECB mode is not selected, restore CRYP_IVx registers using the saved
configuration.

6.

Enable the cryptographic processor by setting the CRYPEN bit to 1.

7.

If DMA is used, enable again the DMA requests from the cryptographic processor, by
setting DIEN and DOEN bits to 1 in the CRYP_DMACR register.

peripheral increments the least significant 32 bits (leaving the other most significant 96 bits
unchanged).
CTR decryption does not differ from CTR encryption, since the core always encrypts the
current counter block to produce the key stream that will be XORed with the plaintext or

6.

Append data in the cryptographic processor and read the result. The three possible

7.

Repeat the previous step until the second last block is processed. For the last block,
execute the two previous steps. For this last block, the driver must discard the data that
is not part of the data when the last block size is less than 16 bytes.

Suspend/resume operations in CTR mode
Like for the CBC mode, it is possible to interrupt a message to send a higher priority

CRYP AES Galois/counter mode (GCM)
Overview
The AES Galois/counter mode (GCM) allows encrypting and authenticating the plaintext,
and generating the correspondent ciphertext and tag (also known as message
authentication code). To ensure confidentiality, GCM algorithm is based on AES counter
mode. It uses a multiplier over a fixed finite field to generate the tag.
GCM chaining is defined in NIST Special Publication 800-38D, Recommendation for Block
Cipher Modes of Operation - Galois/Counter Mode (GCM) and GMAC. A typical message
construction in GCM mode is given in Figure 139.

A 16-byte Initial Counter Block (ICB), composed of two distinct fields:
–

The initialization vector (IV): a 96-bit value that must be unique for each execution
of the mode under a given key. Note that the GCM standard supports IV that are
shorter than 96-bit, but in this case strict rules apply.

–

The counter: a 32-bit big-endian integer that is incremented each time a block has
been processed. According to NIST specification, the counter value is 0x2 when
processing the first block of payload.

•

The authenticated header A (also knows as Additional Authentication Data) has a
known length Len(A) that can be non-multiple of 16 bytes and cannot exceed 264-1
bits. This part of the message is only authenticated, not encrypted.

•

The plaintext message (P) is both authenticated and encrypted as ciphertext C, with a
known length Len(P) that can be non-multiple of 16 bytes, and cannot exceed 232 -2
blocks of 128-bits.

GCM standard specifies that ciphertext C has same bit length as the plaintext P.
•

When a part of the message (AAD or P) has a length which is non-multiple of 16 bytes,
a special padding scheme is required.

•

The last block is composed of the length of A (on 64 bits) and the length of ciphertext C
(on 64 bits) as shown inTable 126.

AES GCM processing
This mode is selected by writing ALGOMODE bitfield to 0b110 in CRYP_CR.
The mechanism for the confidentiality of the plaintext in GCM mode is a variation of the
Counter mode, with a particular 32-bit incrementing function that generates the necessary
sequence of counter blocks.
CRYP_IV registers are used for processing each data block. The cryptographic processor
automatically increments the 32 least signification bits of the counter block. The first counter
block (CB1) written by the application is equal to the Initial Counter Block incremented by
one (see Table 127).

In this mode the key must NOT be prepared for decryption.
The authentication mechanism in GCM mode is based on a hash function, called GF2mul,
that performs multiplication by a fixed parameter, called the hash subkey (H), within a binary
Galois field.
To process a GCM message, the driver must go through four phases, which are described
in the following subsections.
•

The Init phase: the peripheral prepares the GCM hash subkey (H) and performs the IV
processing

•

The Header phase: the peripheral processes the Additional Authenticated Data (AAD),
with hash computation only.

The Payload phase: the peripheral processes the plaintext (P) with hash computation,
keystream encryption and data XORing. It operates in a similar way for ciphertext (C).

GCM init phase
During this first step, the GCM hash subkey (H) is calculated and saved internally to be
used for processing all the blocks. It is recommended to follow the sequence below:

2.

a)

Make sure the cryptographic processor is disabled by clearing the CRYPEN bit in
the CRYP_CR register.

b)

Select the GCM chaining mode by programming ALGOMODE bits to 0b01000 in
CRYP_CR.

c)

Configure GCM_CCMPH bits to 0b00 in CRYP_CR to indicate that the init phase
is ongoing.

d)

Initialize the key registers (128, 192 and 256 bits) in CRYP_KEYRx as well as the
initialization vector (IV) as defined in Table 127.

e)

Set CRYPEN bit to 1 to start the calculation of the hash key.

f)

Wait for the CRYPEN bit to be cleared to 0 by the cryptographic processor, before
moving on to the next phase.

GCM header phase
The below sequence shall be performed after the GCM init phase. It must be complete
before jumping to the payload phase. The sequence is identical for encryption and
decryption.

Note:

g)

Set the GCM_CCMPH bits to 0b01 in CRYP_CR to indicate that the header phase
is ongoing.

h)

Set the CRYPEN bit to 1 to start accepting data.

i)

If it is the last block of additional authenticated data, optionally pad the data with
zeros to have a complete block.

j)

Append additional authenticated data in the cryptographic processor. The three
possible scenarios are described in Section 20.3.5: CRYP procedure to perform a
cipher operation.

k)

Repeat the previous step until the second last additional authenticated data block
is processed. For the last block, execute the two previous steps. Once all the
additional authenticated data have been supplied, wait until the BUSY flag is
cleared before moving on to the next phase.

This phase can be skipped if there is no additional authenticated data, i.e. Len(A)=0.
In header and payload phases, CRYPEN bit is not automatically cleared by the
cryptographic processor.

GCM payload phase (encryption or decryption)
When the payload size is not null, this sequence must be executed after the GCM
header phase. During this phase, the encrypted/decrypted payload is stored in the
CRYP_DOUT register.
l)

Set the CRYPEN bit to 0.

m) Configure GCM_CCMPH to 0b10 in the CRYP_CR register to indicate that the
payload phase is ongoing.

Note:

n)

Select the algorithm direction (0 for encryption, 1 for decryption) through the
ALGODIR bit in CRYP_CR.

o)

Set the CRYPEN bit to 1 to start accepting data.

p)

If it is the last block of cleartext or plaintext, optionally pad the data with zeros to
have a complete block. For encryption, refer to Section 20.3.8: CRYP stealing and
data padding for more details.

q)

Append payload data in the cryptographic processor, and read the result. The
three possible scenarios are described in Section 20.3.5: CRYP procedure to
perform a cipher operation.

r)

Repeat the previous step until the second last plaintext block is encrypted or until
the last block of ciphertext is decrypted. For the last block of plaintext (encryption
only), execute the two previous steps. For the last block, the driver must discard
the bits that are not part of the cleartext or the ciphertext when the last block size
is less than 16 bytes. Once all payload data have been supplied, wait until the
BUSY flag is cleared.

This phase can be skipped if there is no payload data, i.e. Len(C)=0 (see GMAC mode).
4.

GCM final phase
In this last step, the cryptographic processor generates the GCM authentication tag
and stores it in CRYP_DOUT register.

Note:

s)

Configure GCM_CCMPH[1:0] to 0b11 in CRYP_CR to indicate that the Final
phase is ongoing. Set the ALGODIR bit to 0 in the same register.

t)

Write the input to the CRYP_DIN register four times. The input must be composed
of the length in bits of the additional authenticated data (coded on 64 bits)
concatenated with the length in bits of the payload (coded of 64 bits), as show in
Table 126.

In this final phase data have to be swapped according to the DATATYPE programmed in
CRYP_CR register.
u)

Wait until the OFNE flag (FIFO output not empty) is set to 1 in the CRYP_SR
register.

v)

Read the CRYP_DOUT register 4four times: the output corresponds to the
authentication tag.

w)

Disable the cryptographic processor (CRYPEN bit = 0 in CRYP_CR)

x)

If an authenticated decryption is being performed, compare the generated tag with
the expected tag passed with the message.

Suspend/resume operations in GCM mode
Before interrupting the current message in header or payload phase, the user application
must respect the following sequence:

Note:

1.

If DMA is used, stop DMA transfers to the IN FIFO by clearing to 0 the DIEN bit in the
CRYP_DMACR register.

2.

Wait until both the IN and the OUT FIFOs are empty (IFEM=1 and OFNE=0 in the

3.

If DMA is used, stop DMA transfers from the OUT FIFO by clearing to 0 the DOEN bit
in the CRYP_DMACR register.

4.

Disable the cryptographic processor by setting the CRYPEN bit to 0 in CRYP_CR, then
save the current configuration (bits [9:2], bits [17:16] and bits 19 of the CRYP_CR

CRYP AES Galois message authentication code (GMAC)
Overview
The Galois message authentication code (GMAC) allows authenticating a plaintext and
generating the corresponding tag information (also known as message authentication
code). It is based on GCM algorithm, as defined in NIST Special Publication 800-38D,
Recommendation for Block Cipher Modes of Operation - Galois/Counter Mode (GCM) and
GMAC.
A typical message construction in GMAC mode is given in Figure 140.

AES GMAC processing
This mode is selected by writing ALGOMODE bitfield to 0b110 in CRYP_CR.
GMAC algorithm corresponds to the GCM algorithm applied on a message composed only
of an header. As a consequence, all steps and settings are the same as in GCM mode,
except that the payload phase (3) is not used.

Suspend/resume operations in GMAC
GMAC is exactly the same as GCM algorithm except that only header phase (2) can be
interrupted.

CRYP AES Counter with CBC-MAC (CCM)
Overview
The AES Counter with Cipher Block Chaining-Message Authentication Code (CCM)
algorithm allows encrypting and authenticating the plaintext, and generating the
correspondent ciphertext and tag (also known as message authentication code). To ensure
confidentiality, CCM algorithm is based on AES counter mode. It uses Cipher Block
Chaining technique to generate the message authentication code. This is commonly called
CBC-MAC

Note:

NIST does not approve this CBC-MAC as an authentication mode outside of the context of
the CCM specification.
CCM chaining is specified in NIST Special Publication 800-38C, Recommendation for Block
Cipher Modes of Operation - The CCM Mode for Authentication and Confidentiality. A typical
message construction in CCM mode is given in Figure 141

The structure of this message is as below:
•

Note:

592/1724

One 16-byte first authentication block (called B0 by the standard), composed of three
distinct fields:
–

Q: a bit string representation of the byte length of P (Plen)

–

A nonce (N): single-use value (i.e. a new nonce should be assigned to each new
communication). Size of nonce Nlen + size of Plen shall be equal to 15 bytes.

–

Flags: most significant byte containing four flags for control information, as
specified by the standard. It contains two 3-bit strings to encode the values t (MAC
length expressed in bytes) and q (plaintext length such as Plen<28q bytes). Note
that the counter blocks range associated to q is equal to 28q-4, i.e. if q maximum
value is 8, the counter blocks used in cipher shall be on 60 bits.

The cryptographic peripheral can only manage padded plaintext/ciphertext messages of
length Plen < 236 +1 bytes.

RM0385 Rev 8

•

16-bytes blocks (B) associated to the Associated Data (A).
This part of the message is only authenticated, not encrypted. This section has a
known length, ALen, that can be a non-multiple of 16 bytes (see Figure 141). The
standard also states that, on the MSB bits of the first message block (B1), the
associated data length expressed in bytes (a) must be encoded as defined below:
–
–
–

Note:

If 0 < a < 216-28, then it is encoded as [a]16, i.e. two bytes.

If 216-28 < a < 232, then it is encoded as 0xff || 0xfe || [a]32, i.e. six bytes.

If 232 < a < 264, then it is encoded as 0xff || 0xff || [a]64, i.e. ten bytes.

•

16-byte blocks (B) associated to the plaintext message (P), which is both authenticated
and encrypted as ciphertext C, with a known length of Plen. This length can be a nonmultiple of 16 bytes (see Figure 141) but cannot exceed 232 blocks of 128-bit.

•

The encrypted MAC (T) of length Tlen appended to the ciphertext C of overall length
Clen.

•

When a part of the message (A or P) has a length which is a non-multiple of 16 bytes, a
special padding scheme is required.

CCM chaining mode can also be used with associated data only (i.e. no payload).
As an example, the C.1 section in NIST Special Publication 800-38C gives the following:
N: 10111213 141516 (Nlen= 56 bits or 0x7 bytes)
A: 00010203 04050607 (Alen= 64 bits or 0x8 bytes)
P: 20212223 (Plen= 32 bits i.e. Q= 0x4 bytes)
T: 6084341b (Tlen= 32 bits or t= 4)
B0: 4f101112 13141516 00000000 00000004
B1: 00080001 02030405 06070000 00000000
B2: 20212223 00000000 00000000 00000000

CTR1: 0710111213 141516 00000000 00000001
The usage of control blocks CTRx is explained in the following section. The generation of
CTR0 from the first block (B0) must be managed by software.

AES CCM processing
This mode is selected by writing ALGOMODE bitfield to 0b1001 in CRYP_CR.
The data input to the generation-encryption process are a valid nonce, a valid payload
string, and a valid associated data string, all properly formatted. The CBC chaining
mechanism is applied to the formatted data to generate a MAC, whose length is known.
Counter mode encryption, which requires a sufficiently long sequence of counter blocks as
input, is applied to the payload string and separately to the MAC. The resulting data, called
the ciphertext C, is the output of the generation-encryption process on plaintext P.
CRYP_IV registers are used for processing each data block. The cryptographic processor
automatically increments the CTR counter with a bit length defined by the first block (B0).
The first counter written by application, CTR1, is equal to B0 with the first 5 bits zeroed and
the most significant bits containing P byte length also zeroed, then incremented by one (see
Table 128).

below.

•

The Init phase: the peripheral processes the first block and prepares the first counter
block.

•

The Header phase: the peripheral processes the Associated data (A), with hash
computation only.

•

The Payload phase: the peripheral processes the plaintext (P), with hash computation,
counter block encryption and data XORing. It operates in a similar way for ciphertext
(C).

•

The Final phase: the peripheral generates the message authentication code (MAC).

Append payload data in the cryptographic processor, and read the result. The
three possible scenarios are described in Section 20.3.5: CRYP procedure to
perform a cipher operation.

r)

Repeat the previous step until the second last plaintext block is encrypted or until
the last block of ciphertext is decrypted. For the last block of plaintext (encryption
only), execute the two previous steps. For the last block of ciphertext (decryption
only), the driver must discard the data that is not part of the cleartext when the last
block size is less than 16 bytes. Once all payload data have been supplied, wait

Configure GCM_CCMPH[1:0] bits to 0b11 in CRYP_CR to indicate that the final
phase is ongoing and set the ALGODIR bit to 0 in the same register.

t)

Load in CRYP_DIN, the CTR0 information which is described in Table 128 with
bit[0] set to 0.

In this final phase, data have to be swapped according to the DATATYPE programmed in

v)

Read the CRYP_DOUT register four times: the output corresponds to the
encrypted CCM tag.

w)

Disable the cryptographic processor (CRYPEN bit set to 0 in CRYP_CR)

CRYP data registers and data swapping
Introduction
The CRYP_DIN register is the 32-bit wide data input register of the peripheral. It is used to
enter into the input FIFO up to four 64-bit blocks (TDES) or two 128-bit blocks (AES) of
plaintext (when encrypting) or ciphertext (when decrypting), one 32-bit word at a time.
The first word written into the FIFO is the LSB of the input block. The MSB of the input block
is written at the end. CRYP_DIN data endianness can be described as below when
DATATYPE=”00” (no data swapping):
•

In the DES/TDES modes
Bit 1 (leftmost bit) of the data block corresponds to the MSB (bit 31) of the first word
entered into the FIFO, bit 64 (rightmost bit) corresponds to the LSB (bit 0) of the
second word entered into the FIFO.

•

In the AES mode
Bit 0 (leftmost bit) of the data block corresponds to the MSB (bit 31) of the first word
written into the FIFO, bit 127 (rightmost bit) corresponds to the LSB (bit 0) of the 4th
word written into the FIFO.

Similarly CRYP_DOUT register is the 32-bit wide data out register of the peripheral. It is a
read-only register that is used to retrieve from the output FIFO up to four 64-bit blocks
(TDES) or two 128-bit blocks (AES) of plaintext (when encrypting) or ciphertext (when
decrypting), one 32-bit word at a time.
Like for the input data, the LSB of the output block is the first word read from the output
FIFO. The MSB of the output block is read at the end. CRYP_DOUT data endianness can
be described as below when DATATYPE=”00” (no data swapping):
•

In the DES/TDES modes
Bit 1 (leftmost bit) of the data block corresponds to the MSB (bit 31) of the first word
read from the FIFO, bit 64 (rightmost bit) corresponds to the LSB (bit 0) of the second
word read from the FIFO.

•

In the AES mode
Bit 0 (leftmost bit) of the data block corresponds to the MSB (bit 31) of the first word
read from the FIFO, bit 127 (rightmost bit) corresponds to the LSB (bit 0) of the 4th
word read from the FIFO.

DES/TDES data swapping feature
Depending on the type of data to be processed (e.g. byte swapping when data are ASCII
text stream), a bit, byte, half-word or no swapping operation must be done on the data read
from the input FIFO before entering the little-endian DES processing core. The same
swapping must be performed on the data produced by the little-endian DES processing core
before they are written to the output FIFO.
Figure 142 shows how the DES processing core 64-bit data block M1...64 is constructed
from two consecutive 32-bit words popped into IN FIFO by the driver. This is done according
to the DATATYPE bitfield in the CRYP_CR register.
Note:

The same swapping is performed between the IN FIFO and the CRYP data block, and
between the CRYP data block and the OUT FIFO.

Cryptographic processor (CRYP)

AES data swapping feature
Depending on the type of data to be processed (e.g. byte swapping when data are ASCII
text stream), a bit, byte, half-word or no swapping operation must be done on data read from
the input FIFO before entering the little-endian AES processing core. The same swapping
must be performed on the data produced by the little-endian AES processing core before
they are written to the output FIFO.
Figure 143 shows how the AES processing core 128-bit data block P0..127 is constructed
from four consecutive 32-bit words written by the driver to the CRYP_DIN register. This is
done according to the DATATYPE bitfield in the CRYP control register (CRYP_CR).
Note:

The same swapping is performed between the CRYP_DIN and the CRYP data block, and
between the CRYP data block and the CRYP_DOUT.

Keys are considered as four 64-bit data items. They therefore do not have the same data
format and representation in system memory as plaintext or ciphertext data.
Any write operation to the CRYP_Kx(L/R) registers when the BUSY bit is set to 1 in the
CRYP_SR register is disregarded (i.e. register content not modified). Thus, the software
must check that the BUSY equals 0 before modifying key registers.
Key registers are not affected by the data swapping feature controlled by DATATYPE value

CRYP initialization vector registers
The CRYP_IVxL/IVxR registers are used to store the initialization vector or the nonce,
depending on the chaining mode selected. When used, these registers are updated by the

They are organized as four registers in a little-endian configuration, as shown in Table 132.

Reading the CRYP_IV0...1(L/R) register returns the latest counter value (useful for

CRYP DMA interface
The cryptographic processor provides an interface to connect to the DMA (Direct Memory
Access) controller. The DMA operation is controlled through the CRYP DMA control register
(CRYP_DMACR).

Data input using DMA
DMA can be enabled for writing data into the cryptographic peripheral by setting the DIEN
bit in the CRYP_DMACR register. When this bit is set, the cryptographic processor initiates
a DMA request during the INPUT phase each time it requires a word to be written to the
CRYP_DIN register.
Table 133 shows the recommended configuration to transfer data from memory to
cryptographic processor through the DMA controller.

DMA mode
When AES is used, the cryptographic processor manages two DMA transfer requests
through cryp_in_dma and cryp_out_dma internal input/output signals, which are
asserted:
•

for IN FIFO: every time a block has been read from FIFO by CRYP,

•

for OUT FIFO: every time a block has been written into the FIFO by the cryptographic
processor.

When DES is used, the cryptographic processor manages two DMA transfer requests
through cryp_in_dma and cryp_out_dma internal input/output signals, which are
asserted:
•

for IN FIFO: every time two blocks have been read from FIFO by the cryptographic
processor

•

for OUT FIFO: every time a word has been written into the FIFO by the cryptographic
processor (single transfer). Note that a burst transfer is also triggered when two blocks
have been written into the FIFO.

All request signals are de-asserted if the cryptographic peripheral is disabled or the DMA
enable bit is cleared (DIEN bit for the IN FIFO and DOEN bit for the OUT FIFO in the
CRYP_DMACR register).
Caution:

It is important that DMA controller empties the cryptographic peripheral output FIFO before
filling up the CRYP input FIFO. To achieve it, the DMA controller should be configured so

RM0385 Rev 8

that the transfer from the peripheral to the memory has a higher priority than the transfer
from the memory to the peripheral.

CRYP interrupts
Overview
There are two individual maskable interrupt sources generated by the cryptographic
processor to signal the following events:
•

Input FIFO empty or not full

•

Output FIFO full or not empty

These two sources are combined into a single interrupt signal which is the only interrupt
signal from the CRYP peripheral that drives the NVIC (nested vectored interrupt controller).
The interrupt logic is summarized on Figure 144.

You can enable or disable CRYP interrupt sources individually by changing the mask bits in
the CRYP_IMSCR register. Setting the appropriate mask bit to 1 enables the interrupt.
The status of the individual maskable interrupt sources can be read either from the
CRYP_RISR register, for raw interrupt status, or from the CRYP_MISR register for masked
interrupt status. The status of the individual source of event flags can be read from the
CRYP_SR register.
Table 135 gives a summary of the available features.

Output FIFO service interrupt - OUTMIS
The output FIFO service interrupt is asserted when there is one or more (32-bit word) data
items in the output FIFO. This interrupt is cleared by reading data from the output FIFO until
there is no valid (32-bit) word left (that is when the interrupt follows the state of the output
FIFO not empty flag OFNE).
The output FIFO service interrupt OUTMIS is NOT enabled with the CRYP enable bit.
Consequently, disabling the CRYP will not force the OUTMIS signal low if the output FIFO is
not empty.

Input FIFO service interrupt - INMIS
The input FIFO service interrupt is asserted when there are less than four words in the input
FIFO. It is cleared by performing write operations to the input FIFO until it holds four or more
words.
The input FIFO service interrupt INMIS is enabled with the CRYP enable bit. Consequently,
when CRYP is disabled, the INMIS signal is low even if the input FIFO is empty.

or the CRYP core is waiting for enough data in the input FIFO or enough
free space in the output FIFO (that is in each case at least 2 words in
the DES, 4 words in the AES).

CRYP data input register (CRYP_DIN)
Address offset: 0x08
Reset value: 0x0000 0000
The CRYP_DIN register is the data input register. It is 32-bit wide. It is used to enter into the
input FIFO up to four 64-bit blocks (TDES) or two 128-bit blocks (AES) of plaintext (when
encrypting) or ciphertext (when decrypting), one 32-bit word at a time.
To fit different data sizes, the data can be swapped after processing by configuring the
DATATYPE bits in the CRYP_CR register. Refer to Section 20.3.16: CRYP data registers
and data swapping for more details.

When CRYP_DIN register is written to the data are pushed into the input FIFO.
•

If CRYPEN = 1, when at least two 32-bit words in the DES/TDES mode have been
pushed into the input FIFO (four words in the AES mode), and when at least two words
are free in the output FIFO (four words in the AES mode), the CRYP engine starts an
encrypting or decrypting process.

When CRYP_DIN register is read:

Note:

31

•

If CRYPEN = 0, the FIFO is popped, and then the data present in the Input FIFO are
returned, from the oldest one (first reading) to the newest one (last reading). The IFEM
flag must be checked before each read operation to make sure that the FIFO is not
empty.

•

if CRYPEN = 1, an undefined value is returned.

After the CRYP_DIN register has been read once or several times, the FIFO must be
flushed by setting the FFLUSH bit prior to processing new data.

CRYP interrupt mask set/clear register (CRYP_IMSCR)
Address offset: 0x14
Reset value: 0x0000 0000
The CRYP_IMSCR register is the interrupt mask set or clear register. It is a read/write
register. When a read operation is performed, this register gives the current value of the
mask applied to the relevant interrupt. Writing 1 to the particular bit sets the mask, thus
enabling the interrupt to be read. Writing 0 to this bit clears the corresponding mask. All the
bits are cleared to 0 when the peripheral is reset.

CRYP key register 0L (CRYP_K0LR)
Address offset: 0x20
Reset value: 0x0000 0000
CRYP key registers contain the cryptographic keys.
•

In DES/TDES mode, the keys are 64-bit binary values (number from left to right, that is
the leftmost bit is bit 1) and named K1, K2 and K3 (K0 is not used). Each key consists
of 56 information bits and 8 parity bits.

•

In AES mode, the key is considered as a single 128, 192 or 256 bits long sequence
K0K1K2...K127/191/255. The AES key is entered into the registers as follows:
–

for AES-128: K0..K127 corresponds to b127..b0 (b255..b128 are not used),

–

for AES-192: K0..K191 corresponds to b191..b0 (b255..b192 are not used),

–

for AES-256: K0..K255 corresponds to b255..b0.

In all cases key bit K0 is the leftmost bit in CRYP inner memory and register bit b0 is the
rightmost bit in corresponding CRYP_KxLR key register.
For more information refer to Section 20.3.17: CRYP key registers.
Note:

Write accesses to these registers are disregarded when the cryptographic processor is busy
(bit BUSY = 1 in the CRYP_SR register)

Cryptographic processor (CRYP)

20.6.17

CRYP initialization vector register 0L (CRYP_IV0LR)
Address offset: 0x40
Reset value: 0x0000 0000
The CRYP_IV0...1(L/R)R are the left-word and right-word registers for the initialization
vector (64 bits for DES/TDES and 128 bits for AES). For more information refer to
Section 20.3.18: CRYP initialization vector registers.
IV0 is the leftmost bit whereas IV63 (DES, TDES) or IV127 (AES) are the rightmost bits of
the initialization vector. IV1(L/R)R is used only in the AES. Only CRYP_IV0(L/R) is used in
DES/TDES.

Note:

Write access to these registers are disregarded when the cryptographic processor is busy
(bit BUSY = 1 in the CRYP_SR register).

Hash processor (HASH)

Hash processor (HASH)
This section applies to the whole STM32F756xx and STM32F750xx devices, unless
otherwise specified.

21.1

Introduction
The hash processor is a fully compliant implementation of the secure hash algorithm
(SHA-1, SHA-224, SHA-256), the MD5 (message-digest algorithm 5) hash algorithm and
the HMAC (keyed-hash message authentication code) algorithm suitable for a variety of
applications. HMAC is suitable for applications requiring message authentication.
The hash processor computes FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards) approved
digests of length of 160, 224, 256 bits, for messages of up to (261 – 1) bits. It also computes
128 bits digests for the MD5 algorithm.

About secure hash algorithms
The hash processor is a fully compliant implementation of the secure hash algorithm
defined by FIPS PUB 180-4 standard and the IETF RFC1321 publication (MD5).
With each algorithm, the HASH computes a condensed representation of a message or data
file. More specifically, when a message of any length below 264 bits is provided on input, the
SHA-1, SHA-224, SHA-256 and MD5 processing core produces respectively a 160-bit, 224
bit, 256 bit and 128-bit output string called a message digest. The message digest can then
be processed with a digital signature algorithm in order to generate or verify the signature
for the message.
Signing the message digest rather than the message often improves the efficiency of the
process because the message digest is usually much smaller in size than the message. The
verifier of a digital signature has to use the same hash algorithm as the one used by the
creator of the digital signature.
The SHA-2 functions supported by the hash processor are qualified as “secure” because it
is computationally infeasible to find a message that corresponds to a given message digest
(SHA-1 is no more qualified as secure since February 2017), or to find two different
messages that produce the same message digest. Any change to a message in transit will,
with very high probability, result in a different message digest, and the signature will fail to
verify.

21.3.4

Message data feeding
The message (or data file) to be processed by the HASH should be considered as a bit
string. Per FIPS PUB 180-1 and 180-2 standards this message bit string grows from left to
right, with hexadecimal words expressed in “big-endian” convention, so that within each
word, the most significant bit is stored in the left-most bit position. For example message
string “abc” with a bit string representation of “01100001 01100010 01100011” is
represented by a 32-bit word 0x00636261, and 8-bit words 0x61626300.
Data are entered into the HASH one 32-bit word at a time, by writing them into the
HASH_DIN register. The current contents of the HASH_DIN register are transferred to the
16 words input FIFO (IN FIFO) each time the register is written with new data. Hence
HASH_DIN and the input FIFO form a seventeen 32-bit words length FIFO (named the IN
buffer).
In accordance to the kind of data to be processed (e.g. byte swapping when data are ASCII
text stream) there must be a bit, byte, half-word or no swapping operation to be performed
on data from the input FIFO before entering the little-endian hash processing core.
Figure 146 shows how the hash processing core 32-bit data block M0...31 is constructed
from one 32-bit words popped into IN FIFO by the driver, according to the DATATYPE
bitfield in the HASH control register (HASH_CR).

HASH_DIN data endianness when bit swapping is disabled (DATATYPE=”00”) can be
described as following: the least significant bit of the message has to be at MSB position in
the first word entered into the hash processor, the 32nd bit of the bit string has to be at MSB
position in the second word entered into the hash processor and so on.

Hash processor (HASH)

Message digest computing
The hash processor sequentially processes 512-bit blocks when computing the message
digest. Thus, each time 16 × 32-bit words (= 512 bits) have been written to the hash
processor by the DMA or the CPU, the HASH automatically starts computing the message
digest. This operation is known as ‘partial digest computation’.
As described in Section 21.3.4: Message data feeding, the message to be processed is
entered into the HASH 32-bit word at a time, writing to the HASH_DIN register to fill the
input FIFO. In order to perform the hash computation on this data below sequence shall be
used by the application.
1.

2.
Caution:

Initialize the hash processor using the HASH_CR register:
–

Select the right algorithm using ALGO field. If needed program the correct
swapping operation on the message input words using DATATYPE bitfield in
HASH_CR.

–

Set MODE=1 and select the key length using LKEY if HMAC mode has been
selected.

–

Update NBLW to define the number of valid bits in last word if it is different from 32
bits. If it is the case automatic padding could be applied by the HASH.

Complete the initialization by setting to 1 the INIT bit in HASH_CR. Also set the bit
DMAE to 1 if data are transferred via DMA.

When programming step 2, it is important to set up before or at the same time the correct
configuration values (ALGO, DATATYPE, HMAC mode, key length, NBLW).
3.

Start filling data by writing to HASH_DIN register, unless data are automatically:
transferred via DMA. Note that the processing of a block can start only once the last
value of the block has entered the IN FIFO. The way the partial or final digest
computation is managed depends on the way data are fed into the processor:
a)

When data are filled by software:

–

The partial digest computation is triggered when the software writes an additional
word to the HASH_DIN register (actually the first word of the next block). Once the
processor is ready again (DINIS=1 in HASH_SR), the software can write new data
to HASH_DIN. This mechanism avoids the introduction of wait states by the
HASH.

–

The final digest computation is triggered when the last block is entered and the
software writes the DCAL bit to 1. If the message length is not an exact multiple of
512 bits, the NBLW field in HASH_STR register must be written prior to writing
DCAL bit (see Section 21.3.6 for details).

b)

When data are filled by DMA as a single DMA transfer (MDMAT bit=”0”):

–

The partial digest computation is triggered automatically each time the FIFO is full.

–

The final digest computation is triggered automatically when the last block has
been transferred to the HASH_DIN register (DCAL bit is set to 1 by hardware). If
the message length is not an exact multiple of 512 bits, the NBLW field in
HASH_STR register must be written prior to enabling the DMA (see
Section 21.3.6 for details).

c)

When data are filled using multiple DMA transfers (MDMAT bit=”1”) :

–

The partial digest computations are triggered as for single DMA transfers.
However the final digest computation is not triggered automatically when the last
block has been transferred to the HASH_DIN register (DCAL bit is not set to 1 by
hardware). It allows the hash processor to receive a new DMA transfer as part of

Hash processor (HASH)

RM0385

this digest computation. To launch the final digest computation, the software must
set MDMAT bit to 0 before the last DMA transfer in order to trigger the final digest
computation as it is done for single DMA transfers (see description before).
4.

Once computed, the digest can be read from the output registers as described in
Table 140.

21.3.6

Message padding
Overview
When computing a condensed representation of a message, the process of feeding data
into the hash processor (with automatic partial digest computation every 512-bit block) loops
until the last bits of the original message are written to the HASH_DIN register.
As the length (number of bits) of a message can be any integer value, the last word written
to the hash processor may have a valid number of bits between 1 and 32. This number of
valid bits in the last word, NBLW, has to be written to the HASH_STR register, so that
message padding is correctly performed before the final message digest computation.

Padding processing
Detailed padding sequences with DMA is enabled or disabled are described in
Section 21.3.5: Message digest computing.

Padding example
As specified by Federal Information Processing Standards PUB 180-1 and PUB 180-2,
message padding consists in appending a “1” followed by k “0”s, itself followed by a 64-bit
integer that is equal to the length L in bits of the message. These three padding operations
generate a padded message of length L + 1 + k + 64, which by construction is a multiple of
512 bits.
For the hash processor, the “1” is added to the last word written to the HASH_DIN register at
the bit position defined by the NBLW bitfield, and the remaining upper bits are cleared (“0”s).

628/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Hash processor (HASH)
Example from FIPS PUB180-2
Let us assume that the original message is the ASCII binary-coded form of “abc”, of length
L = 24:
byte 0

byte 1

byte 2

byte 3

01100001 01100010 01100011 UUUUUUUU
<-- 1st word written to HASH_DIN -->

NBLW has to be loaded with the value 24: a “1” is appended at bit location 24 in the bit string
(starting counting from left to right in the above bit string), which corresponds to bit 31 in the
HASH_DIN register (little-endian convention):
01100001 01100010 01100011 1UUUUUUU

Since L = 24, the number of bits in the above bit string is 25, and 423 “0” bits are appended,
making now 448 bits.
This gives in hexadecimal (byte words in big-endian format):
61626380
00000000
00000000
00000000

00000000 00000000 00000000
00000000 00000000 00000000
00000000 00000000 00000000
00000000

The message length value, L, in two-word format (that is 00000000 00000018) is appended.
Hence the final padded message in hexadecimal (byte words in big-endian format):
61626380
00000000
00000000
00000000

00000000

00000000

00000000
00000000
00000000
00000018

If the hash processor is programmed to swap byte within HASH_DIN input register
(DATATYPE=10 in HASH_CR), the above message has to be entered by following below
the sequence:
1.

0xUU636261 is written to the HASH_DIN register (where ‘U’ means don’t care).

2.

0x18 is written to the HASH_STR register (the number of valid bits in the last word
written to the HASH_DIN register is 24, as the original message length is 24 bits).

3.

0x10 is written to the HASH_STR register to start the message padding (described
above) and then perform the digest computation.

4.

The hash computing is complete with the message digest available in the HASH_HRx
registers (x = 0...4) for the SHA-1 algorithm. For this FIPS example, the expected value
is as follows:
HASH_H0
HASH_H1
HASH_H2

HMAC operation
Overview
As specified by Internet Engineering Task Force RFC2104, HMAC: keyed-hashing for
message authentication, the HMAC algorithm is used for message authentication by
irreversibly binding the message being processed to a key chosen by the user. The
algorithm consists of two nested hash operations:
HMAC(message) = Hash((key | pad) XOR [0x5C]n
| Hash((key | pad) XOR [0x36]n | message))

where:
•

[X]n represents a repetition of X n times, where n equal to the size of the underlying
hash function data block that is 512 bits for SHA-1, SHA224, SHA-256, MD5 hash
algorithms (i.e. n=64).

•

pad is a sequence of zeroes needed to extend the key to the length n defined above. If
the key length is greater than n, the application shall first hash the key using Hash()
function and then use the resultant byte string as the actual key to HMAC.

•

| represents the concatenation operator.

HMAC processing
Four different steps are required to compute the HMAC:
1.

The block is initialized by writing the INIT bit to 1 with the MODE bit at 1 and the ALGO
bits set to the value corresponding to the desired algorithm. The LKEY bit must also be
set to 1 if the key being used is longer than 64 bytes. In this case, as required by HMAC
specifications, the hash processor will use the hash of the key instead of the real key.

2.

The key to be used for the inner hash function must be provided to the hash processor:
The key loading operation follows the same mechanism as the message bit string
loading, i.e. write key data into HASH_DIN and complete the transfer by writing to
HASH_STR register.

Note:

Note:

Endianness details can be found in Section 21.3.4: Message data feeding.
3.

Once the last key word has been entered and computation has started, the hash
processor elaborates the inner key material. Once this operation has completed, it is
ready to accept the message bit string as described in Section 21.3.4: Message data
feeding.

4.

After the final hash round, the hash processor returns “ready” to indicate that it is ready
to receive the key to be used for the outer hash function (normally, this key is the same
as the one used for the inner hash function). When the last word of the key is entered
and computation starts, the HMAC result can be found in the HASH_H0...HASH_H7
registers.

The computation latency of the HMAC primitive depends on the lengths of the keys and
message, as described in Section 21.5: HASH processing time.
HMAC example
Below is an example of HMAC SHA-1 algorithm (ALGO=”00” and MODE=”1” in HASH_CR)
as specified by NIST.
Let us assume that the original message is the ASCII binary-coded form of “Sample
message for keylen=blocklen”, of length L = 34 bytes. If the HASH is programmed in

no swapping mode (DATATYPE=00 in HASH_CR), the following data must be loaded

It is possible to interrupt a hash/HMAC operation to perform another processing with a
higher priority. The interrupted process completes later when the higher-priority task has

To do so, the context of the interrupted task must be saved from the HASH registers to
memory, and then be restored from memory to the HASH registers.
The procedures where the data flow is controlled by software or by DMA are described
below.

632/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Hash processor (HASH)

Data loaded by software
When the DMA is not used to load the message into the hash processor, the context can be
saved only when no block processing is ongoing. This means that the user application must
wait until DINIS = 1 (last block processed and input FIFO empty) or NBW ≠ 0 (FIFO not full
and no processing ongoing). The detailed procedure is described below.
•

Current context saving
Before interrupting the current message digest calculation, the application must store
the contents of the following registers into memory:

•

–

HASH_IMR

–

HASH_STR

–

HASH_CR

–

HASH_CSR0 to HASH_CSR53

Current context restoring
To resume processing the interrupted message, the application must respect the
following steps:
a)

Write the following registers with the values saved in memory: HASH_IMR,
HASH_STR and HASH_CR.

b)

Initialize the hash processor by setting the INIT bit in the HASH_CR register.

c)

Write the HASH_CSR0 to HASH_CSR53 registers with the values saved in
memory.

d)

Restart the processing from the point where it has been interrupted.

Data loaded by DMA
When the DMA is used to load the message into the hash processor, it is not possible to
predict if a DMA transfer is ongoing. The user application must thus stop DMA transfers,
then wait until the hash processor is ready before interrupting the current message digest
calculation. The detailed procedure is described below.
•

Current context saving
Before interrupting the current message digest calculation using DMA, the application
must respect the following steps:

•

a)

Clear the DMAE bit to disable the DMA interface.

b)

Wait until the current DMA transfer is complete (wait for DMAS = 0 in the
HASH_SR register). Note that the block may or may not have been totally
transferred to the HASH.

c)

Disable the corresponding channel in the DMA controller.

d)

Wait until the hash processor is ready (no block is being processed), that is wait
for DINIS = 1

Current context restoring
To resume processing the interrupted message using DMA, the application must
respect the following steps:
a)

Reconfigure the DMA controller so that it proceeds with the transfer of the
message up to the end if it is not interrupted again.

b)

Restart the processing from the point where it was interrupted by setting the
DMAE bit.

RM0385 Rev 8

633/1724
647

Hash processor (HASH)
Note:

RM0385

If the context swapping does not involve HMAC operations, the HASH_CSR38 to
HASH_CSR53 registers do not need to be saved and restored.
If the context swapping occurs between two blocks (the last block was completely
processed and the next block has not yet been pushed into the IN FIFO, NBW = 000 in the
HASH_CR register), the HASH_CSR22 to HASH_CSR37 registers do not need to be saved
and restored.

21.3.9

HASH DMA interface
The hash processor provides an interface to connect to the DMA controller. This DMA can
be used to write data to the HASH by setting the DMAE bit in the HASH_CR register. When
this bit is set, the HASH asserts the burst request signal to the DMA controller when there is
enough free words in the FIFO to support a burst of four words.
Once four 32-bit words have been received, the HASH automatically restarts this process,
checks the FIFO size, and asserts a new request if the FIFO status allow a burst reception.
For more information refer to Section 21.3.5: Message digest computing.
Before starting the DMA transfer, the software must program the number of valid bits in the
last word that will be copied into HASH_DIN register. This is done by writing in HASH_STR
register the following value:
NBLW = Len(Message)% 32
where “x%32” gives the remainder of x divided by 32.
DMAS bit in HASH_SR register provides information on the DMA interface activity. This bit
is set with DMAE and cleared when DMAE is cleared to 0 and no DMA transfer is ongoing.

Note:

No interrupt is associated to DMAS bit.

21.3.10

HASH error management
No error flags are generated by the HASH hardware.

21.4

HASH interrupts
Two individual maskable interrupt sources are generated by the hash processor to signal
following events:
•

Digest calculation completion (DCIS)

•

Data input buffer ready (DINIS)

Both interrupt sources are connected to the same global interrupt request signal, as shown
on Figure 148.

The above interrupt sources can be enabled or disabled individually by changing the mask

1. The time required to load the 16 words of the block into the processor must be added to this value.

The time required to process the last block of a message (or of a key in HMAC) can be
longer. This time depends on the length of the last block and the size of the key (in HMAC
mode).
Compared to the processing of an intermediate block, it can be increased by the factor
below:
•

1 to 2.5 for a hash message

•

~2.5 for an HMAC input-key

•

0000 and DINNE=0: no word has been pushed into the DIN buffer, i.e. both
HASH_DIN register and IN FIFO are empty.
0000 and DINNE=1: one word has been pushed into the DIN buffer, i.e.
HASH_DIN register contains one word and IN FIFO is empty.
0001: two words have been pushed into the DIN buffer, i.e. HASH_DIN register
and the IN FIFO contain one word each.
...
1111: 16 words have been pushed into the DIN buffer.
If the DMA is used
NBW is the exact number of words that have been pushed into the IN FIFO by
the DMA.
Bits 18, 7 ALGO[1:0]: Algorithm selection
These bits selects the SHA-1, SHA-224, SHA-256 or the MD5 algorithm:
00: SHA-1 algorithm selected
01: MD5 algorithm selected
10: SHA-224 algorithm selected
11: SHA-256 algorithm selected
Note: This selection is only taken into account when the INIT bit is set. Changing
this bit during a computation has no effect.
Bit 6 MODE: Mode selection
This bit selects the HASH or HMAC mode for the selected algorithm:
0: Hash mode selected
1: HMAC mode selected. LKEY must be set if the key being used is longer than
64 bytes.
Note: This selection is only taken into account when the INIT bit is set. Changing
this bit during a computation has no effect.
Bits 5:4 DATATYPE[1:0]: Data type selection
These bits define the format of the data entered into the HASH_DIN register:
00: 32-bit data. The data written to HASH_DIN are directly used by the hash
processing, without reordering.
01: 16-bit data or half-word. The data written to HASH_DIN are considered as
two half-words, and are swapped before being used by the hash processing.
10: 8-bit data or bytes. The data written to HASH_DIN are considered as four
bytes, and are swapped before being used by the hash processing.
11: bit data or bit-string. The data written to HASH_DIN are considered as 32 bits
(1st bit of the string at position 0), and are swapped before being used by the
hash processing (first bit of the string at position 31).

Bit 3 DMAE: DMA enable
0: DMA transfers disabled
1: DMA transfers enabled. A DMA request is sent as soon as the hash core is
ready to receive data.
After this bit is set it is cleared by hardware while the last data of the message is
written to the hash processor.
Setting this bit to 0 while a DMA transfer is on-going is not aborting this current
transfer. Instead, the DMA interface of the HASH remains internally enabled until
the transfer is complete or INIT is written to 1.
Setting INIT bit to 1 does not clear DMAE bit.
Bit 2 INIT: Initialize message digest calculation
Writing this bit to 1 resets the hash processor core, so that the HASH is ready to
compute the message digest of a new message.
Writing this bit to 0 has no effect. Reading this bit always return 0.
Bits 1:0 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.

HASH data input register (HASH_DIN)
Address offset: 0x04
Reset value: 0x0000 0000
HASH_DIN is the data input register. It is 32-bit wide. This register is used to enter the
message by blocks of 512 bits. When the HASH_DIN register is programmed, the value
presented on the AHB databus is ‘pushed’ into the hash core and the register takes the new
value presented on the AHB databus. To get a correct message format, the DATATYPE bits
must have been previously configured in the HASH_CR register.
When a block of 16 words has been written to the HASH_DIN register, an intermediate
digest calculation is launched:
•

by writing new data into the HASH_DIN register (the first word of the next block) if the
DMA is not used (intermediate digest calculation),

•

automatically if the DMA is used.

When the last block has been written to the HASH_DIN register, the final digest calculation
(including padding) is launched:
•

by writing the DCAL bit to 1 in the HASH_STR register (final digest calculation),

•

automatically if the DMA is used and MDMAT bit is set to 0.

When a digest calculation (intermediate or final) is ongoing and a new write access to the
HASH_DIN register is performed, wait-states are inserted on the AHB2 bus until the hash
calculation completes.
When the HASH_DIN register is read, the last word written to this location is accessed (zero
after reset).

HASH start register (HASH_STR)
Address offset: 0x08
Reset value: 0x0000 0000
The HASH_STR register has two functions:
•

It is used to define the number of valid bits in the last word of the message entered in
the hash processor (that is the number of valid least significant bits in the last data
written to the HASH_DIN register)

•

It is used to start the processing of the last block in the message by writing the DCAL

Bits 31:9 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bit 8 DCAL: Digest calculation
Writing this bit to 1 starts the message padding, using the previously written
value of NBLW, and starts the calculation of the final message digest with all data
words written to the IN FIFO since the INIT bit was last written to 1.
Reading this bit returns 0.
Bits 7:5 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bits 4:0 NBLW[4:0]: Number of valid bits in the last word
When the last word of the message bit string is written in HASH_DIN register, the
hash processor takes only the valid bits specified as below, after internal data
swapping:
0x00: All 32 bits of the last data written are valid message bits i.e. M[31:0]
0x01: Only one bit of the last data written (after swapping) is valid i.e. M[0]
0x02: Only two bits of the last data written (after swapping) are valid i.e. M[1:0]
0x03: Only three bits of the last data written (after swapping) are valid i.e. M[2:0]
...
0x1F: Only 31 bits of the last data written (after swapping) are valid i.e. M[30:0]
The above mechanism is valid only if DCAL=0. If NBLW bits are written while
DCAL is set to 1, the NBLW bitfield remains unchanged. In other words it is not
possible to configure NBLW and set DCAL at the same time.
Reading NBLW bits returns the last value written to NBLW.

HASH digest registers (HASH_HR0..7)
These registers contain the message digest result named as follows:
•

HASH_HR0, HASH_HR1, HASH_HR2, HASH_HR3 and HASH_HR4 registers return
the SHA-1 digest result
HASH_HR5 to HASH_HR7 registers are not used, and they are read as zero.

•

HASH_HR0, HASH_HR1, HASH_HR2 and HASH_HR3 registers return A, B, C and D
(respectively), as defined by MD5.
HASH_HR4 to HASH_HR7 registers are not used, and they are read as zero.

•

HASH_HR0 to HASH_HR6 registers return the SHA-224 digest result.
HASH_HR7 register is not used, and it is read as zero.

•

HASH_HR0 to HASH_HR7 registers return the SHA-256 digest result.

In all cases, the digest most significant bit is stored in HASH_HR0[31] and it is not used.
If a read access to one of these registers is performed while the hash core is calculating an
intermediate digest or a final message digest (that is when the DCAL bit has been written to
1), then the read operation is stalled until the hash calculation completes.
Note:

HASH_HR0, HASH_HR1, HASH_HR2, HASH_HR3 and HASH_HR4 mapping are
duplicated in two memory regions.

HASH context swap registers (HASH_CSRx)
These registers contain the complete internal register states of the hash processor. They
are useful when a context swap has to be done because a high-priority task needs to use
the hash processor while it is already used by another task.
When such an event occurs, the HASH_CSRx registers have to be read and the read
values have to be saved in the system memory space. Then the hash processor can be
used by the preemptive task, and when the hash computation is complete, the saved
context can be read from memory and written back into the HASH_CSRx registers.

Advanced-control timers (TIM1/TIM8)

22.1

TIM1/TIM8 introduction
The advanced-control timers (TIM1/TIM8) consist of a 16-bit auto-reload counter driven by a
programmable prescaler.
It 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 advanced-control (TIM1/TIM8) and general-purpose (TIMy) timers are completely
independent, and do not share any resources. They can be synchronized together as
described in Section 22.3.25: Timer synchronization.

22.2

TIM1/TIM8 main features
TIM1/TIM8 timer features include:

648/1724

•

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

•

16-bit programmable prescaler allowing dividing (also “on the fly”) the counter clock
frequency either by any factor between 1 and 65536.

•

Up to 6 independent channels for:
–

Input Capture (but channels 5 and 6)

–

Output Compare

–

PWM generation (Edge and Center-aligned Mode)

–

One-pulse mode output

•

Complementary outputs with programmable dead-time

•

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.

•

2 break inputs to put the timer’s output signals in a safe user selectable configuration.

•

Interrupt/DMA generation on the following events:
–

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

–

Trigger event (counter start, stop, initialization or count by internal/external trigger)

–

Input capture

–

Output compare

•

Supports incremental (quadrature) encoder and Hall-sensor circuitry for positioning
purposes

•

Trigger input for external clock or cycle-by-cycle current management

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

Internal clock (CK_INT)

•

External clock mode1: external input pin

•

External clock mode2: external trigger input ETR

•

Encoder mode

Internal clock source (CK_INT)
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.
Figure 171 shows the behavior of the control circuit and the upcounter in normal mode,
without prescaler.

External clock source mode 1
This mode is selected when SMS=111 in the TIMx_SMCR register. The counter can count at
each rising or falling edge on a selected input.

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).

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 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 the user does not 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.

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

668/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Advanced-control timers (TIM1/TIM8)
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
register

4.

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

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
resynchronization circuit on the ETRP signal.

Capture/compare channels
Each Capture/Compare channel is built around a capture/compare register (including a
shadow register), an input stage for capture (with digital filter, multiplexing, and prescaler,
except for channels 5 and 6) and an output stage (with comparator and output control).
Figure 176 to Figure 179 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.

22.3.7

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

672/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Advanced-control timers (TIM1/TIM8)
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 and CC1NP
bits 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.

22.3.8

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, the user 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 and CC1NP bits 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
and CC2NP bits to CC2P/CC2NP=’10’ (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 0100 in the
TIMx_SMCR register.

7.

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

22.3.9

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.
To force an output compare signal (OCXREF/OCx) to its active level, user just needs to
write 0101 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 0100 in the
TIMx_CCMRx register.

674/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Advanced-control timers (TIM1/TIM8)
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.

22.3.10

Output compare mode
This function is used to control an output waveform or indicate when a period of time has
elapsed. Channels 1 to 4 can be output, while Channel 5 and 6 are only available inside the
microcontroller (for instance, for compound waveform generation or for ADC triggering).
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=0000), be set
active (OCxM=0001), be set inactive (OCxM=0010) or can toggle (OCxM=0011) 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 bit if an interrupt request is to be generated.

4.

Select the output mode. For example:

5.

–

Write OCxM = 0011 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 182.

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 ‘0110’ (PWM mode 1) or ‘0111’ (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.

Upcounting configuration
Upcounting is active when the DIR bit in the TIMx_CR1 register is low. Refer to the
Upcounting mode on page 652.
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 183 shows some edge-aligned PWM waveforms in an example where
TIMx_ARR=8.

Downcounting configuration
Downcounting is active when DIR bit in TIMx_CR1 register is high. Refer to the
Downcounting mode on page 656
In PWM mode 1, the reference signal OCxRef is low 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

Hints on using center-aligned mode
•

678/1724

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

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Advanced-control timers (TIM1/TIM8)
in the TIMx_CR1 register. Moreover, the DIR and CMS bits must not be changed at the
same time by the software.
•

•

22.3.12

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

The direction is not updated if 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.

Asymmetric PWM mode
Asymmetric mode allows two center-aligned PWM signals to be generated with a
programmable phase shift. While the frequency is determined by the value of the
TIMx_ARR register, the duty cycle and the phase-shift are determined by a pair of
TIMx_CCRx register. One register controls the PWM during up-counting, the second during
down counting, so that PWM is adjusted every half PWM cycle:
–

OC1REFC (or OC2REFC) is controlled by TIMx_CCR1 and TIMx_CCR2

–

OC3REFC (or OC4REFC) is controlled by TIMx_CCR3 and TIMx_CCR4

Asymmetric PWM mode can be selected independently on two channel (one OCx output
per pair of CCR registers) by writing ‘1110’ (Asymmetric PWM mode 1) or ‘1111’
(Asymmetric PWM mode 2) in the OCxM bits in the TIMx_CCMRx register.
Note:

The OCxM[3:0] bit field is split into two parts for compatibility reasons, the most significant
bit is not contiguous with the 3 least significant ones.
When a given channel is used as asymmetric PWM channel, its complementary channel
can also be used. For instance, if an OC1REFC signal is generated on channel 1
(Asymmetric PWM mode 1), it is possible to output either the OC2REF signal on channel 2,
or an OC2REFC signal resulting from asymmetric PWM mode 1.
Figure 185 represents an example of signals that can be generated using Asymmetric PWM
mode (channels 1 to 4 are configured in Asymmetric PWM mode 1). Together with the
deadtime generator, this allows a full-bridge phase-shifted DC to DC converter to be
controlled.

Combined PWM mode
Combined PWM mode allows two edge or center-aligned PWM signals to be generated with
programmable delay and phase shift between respective pulses. While the frequency is
determined by the value of the TIMx_ARR register, the duty cycle and delay are determined
by the two TIMx_CCRx registers. The resulting signals, OCxREFC, are made of an OR or
AND logical combination of two reference PWMs:
–

OC1REFC (or OC2REFC) is controlled by TIMx_CCR1 and TIMx_CCR2

–

OC3REFC (or OC4REFC) is controlled by TIMx_CCR3 and TIMx_CCR4

Combined PWM mode can be selected independently on two channels (one OCx output per
pair of CCR registers) by writing ‘1100’ (Combined PWM mode 1) or ‘1101’ (Combined PWM
mode 2) in the OCxM bits in the TIMx_CCMRx register.
When a given channel is used as combined PWM channel, its complementary channel must
be configured in the opposite PWM mode (for instance, one in Combined PWM mode 1 and
the other in Combined PWM mode 2).
Note:

The OCxM[3:0] bit field is split into two parts for compatibility reasons, the most significant
bit is not contiguous with the 3 least significant ones.
Figure 186 represents an example of signals that can be generated using Asymmetric PWM
mode, obtained with the following configuration:

–

Channel 1 is configured in Combined PWM mode 2,

–

Channel 2 is configured in PWM mode 1,

Combined 3-phase PWM mode
Combined 3-phase PWM mode allows one to three center-aligned PWM signals to be
generated with a single programmable signal ANDed in the middle of the pulses. The
OC5REF signal is used to define the resulting combined signal. The 3-bits GC5C[3:1] in the
TIMx_CCR5 allow selection on which reference signal the OC5REF is combined. The
resulting signals, OCxREFC, are made of an AND logical combination of two reference
PWMs:
–

If GC5C1 is set, OC1REFC is controlled by TIMx_CCR1 and TIMx_CCR5

–

If GC5C2 is set, OC2REFC is controlled by TIMx_CCR2 and TIMx_CCR5

–

If GC5C3 is set, OC3REFC is controlled by TIMx_CCR3 and TIMx_CCR5

Combined 3-phase PWM mode can be selected independently on channels 1 to 3 by setting
at least one of the 3-bits GC5C[3:1].

22.3.15

Complementary outputs and dead-time insertion
The advanced-control timers (TIM1/TIM8) can output two complementary signals and
manage the switching-off and the switching-on instants of the outputs.
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 147: Output control bits for complementary OCx and OCxN channels with break
feature on page 727 for more details. In particular, the dead-time is activated when
switching to the idle state (MOE falling down to 0).

682/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Advanced-control timers (TIM1/TIM8)
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 22.4.18: TIMx break and dead-time
register (TIMx_BDTR)(x = 1, 8) 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.

22.3.16

Using the break function
The purpose of the break function is to protect power switches driven by PWM signals
generated with the TIM1 and TIM8 timers. The two break inputs are usually connected to
fault outputs of power stages and 3-phase inverters. When activated, the break circuitry
shuts down the PWM outputs and forces them to a predefined safe state. A number of
internal MCU events can also be selected to trigger an output shut-down.
The break features two channels. A break channel which gathers both system-level fault
(clock failure,...) and application fault (from input pins), and can force the outputs to a
predefined level (either active or inactive) after a deadtime duration. A break2 channel which
only includes application faults and is able to force the outputs to an inactive state.

684/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Advanced-control timers (TIM1/TIM8)
The output enable signal and output levels during break are depending on several control
bits:
–

the MOE bit in TIMx_BDTR register allows to enable /disable the outputs by
software and is reset in case of break or break2 event.

–

the OSSI bit in the TIMx_BDTR register defines whether the timer controls the
output in inactive state or releases the control to the GPIO controller (typically to
have it in Hi-Z mode)

–

the OISx and OISxN bits in the TIMx_CR2 register which are setting the output
shut-down level, either active or inactive. The OCx and OCxN outputs cannot be
set both to active level at a given time, whatever the OISx and OISxN values.
Refer to Table 147: Output control bits for complementary OCx and OCxN
channels with break feature on page 727 for more details.

When exiting from reset, the break circuit is disabled and the MOE bit is low. You can enable
the break functions by setting the BKE and BKE2 bits in the TIMx_BDTR register. The break
input polarities can be selected by configuring the BKP and BKP2 bits in the same register.
BKEx and BKPx can be modified at the same time. When the BKEx and BKPx 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.
The break (BRK) event can be generated by two sources of events ORed together:
•

An external source connected to one of the BKIN pin (as per selection done in the
AFIO controller)

•

An internal source: clock failure event generated by the CSS detector

The break2 (BRK2) can be generated by an external source connected to one of the BKIN2
pin (as per selection done in the AFIO controller).
Break events can also be generated by software using BG and B2G bits in the TIMx_EGR
register. The software break generation using BG and BG2 is active whatever the BKE and
BKE2 enable bits values.

Note:

An asynchronous (clockless) operation is only guaranteed when the programmable filter is
disabled. If it is enabled, a fail safe clock mode (for example by using the internal PLL and/or
the CSS) must be used to guarantee that break events are handled.
When one of the breaks occurs (selected level on one of the break inputs):

•

The MOE bit is cleared asynchronously, putting the outputs in inactive state, idle state
or even releasing the control to the GPIO controller (selected by the OSSI bit). This
feature is enabled 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, the timer releases the output control
(taken over by the GPIO controller), otherwise the enable output remains high.

•

When complementary outputs are used:
–

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

–

If the timer clock is still present, 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 slightly longer than usual (around 2 ck_tim clock cycles).
–

Note:

If OSSI=0, the timer releases the output control (taken over by the GPIO controller
which forces a Hi-Z state), otherwise the enable outputs remain or become high as
soon as one of the CCxE or CCxNE bits is high.

•

The break status flag (SBIF, BIF and B2IF bits in the TIMx_SR register) is set. An
interrupt is 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). As an example, this can be used to perform a
regulation. Otherwise, MOE remains low until the application sets 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.

The break inputs are active 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 and B2IF
cannot be cleared.
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 to freeze the
configuration of several parameters (dead-time duration, OCx/OCxN polarities and state
when disabled, OCxM configurations, break enable and polarity). The application can
choose from 3 levels of protection selected by the LOCK bits in the TIMx_BDTR register.
Refer to Section 22.4.18: TIMx break and dead-time register (TIMx_BDTR)(x = 1, 8). The
LOCK bits can be written only once after an MCU reset.

Advanced-control timers (TIM1/TIM8)
The two break inputs have different behaviors on timer outputs:
–

The BRK input can either disable (inactive state) or force the PWM outputs to a
predefined safe state.

–

BRK2 can only disable (inactive state) the PWM outputs.

The BRK has a higher priority than BRK2 input, as described in Table 144.

BRK2 must only be used with OSSR = OSSI = 1.

Clearing the OCxREF signal on an external event
The OCxREF signal for a given channel can be driven low by applying a high level to the
ETRF input (OCxCE enable bit of the corresponding TIMx_CCMRx register set to ‘1’). The
OCxREF signal remains low until the next update event, UEV, occurs.
When ETRF is chosen, ETR must be configured as follows:
1.

The External Trigger Prescaler should be kept off: bits ETPS[1:0] of the TIMx_SMCR
register set to ‘00’.

2.

The external clock mode 2 must be disabled: bit ECE of the TIMx_SMCR register set to
‘0’.

3.

The External Trigger Polarity (ETP) and the External Trigger Filter (ETF) can be
configured according to the user needs.

Figure 195 shows the behavior of the OCxREF signal when the ETRF Input becomes High,
for both values of the enable bit OCxCE. In this example, the timer TIMx is programmed in
PWM mode.

6-step PWM generation
When complementary outputs are used on a channel, preload bits are available on the
OCxM, CCxE and CCxNE bits. The preload bits are transferred to the shadow bits at the
COM commutation event. Thus you can program in advance the configuration for the next
step and change the configuration of all the channels at the same time. COM can be
generated by software by setting the COM bit in the TIMx_EGR register or by hardware (on
TRGI rising edge).
A flag is set when the COM event occurs (COMIF bit in the TIMx_SR register), which can
generate an interrupt (if the COMIE bit is set in the TIMx_DIER register) or a DMA request
(if the COMDE bit is set in the TIMx_DIER register).
The Figure 196 describes the behavior of the OCx and OCxN outputs when a COM event
occurs, in 3 different examples of programmed configurations.

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’ 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.

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) 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.

22.3.20

Retriggerable one pulse mode (OPM)
This mode allows the counter to be started in response to a stimulus and to generate a
pulse with a programmable length, but with the following differences with Non-retriggerable
one pulse mode described in Section 22.3.19:
–

The pulse starts as soon as the trigger occurs (no programmable delay)

–

The pulse is extended if a new trigger occurs before the previous one is completed

The timer must be in Slave mode, with the bits SMS[3:0] = ‘1000’ (Combined Reset + trigger
mode) in the TIMx_SMCR register, and the OCxM[3:0] bits set to ‘1000’ or ‘1001’ for
Retrigerrable OPM mode 1 or 2.
If the timer is configured in Up-counting mode, the corresponding CCRx must be set to 0
(the ARR register sets the pulse length). If the timer is configured in Down-counting mode,
CCRx must be above or equal to ARR.
Note:

The OCxM[3:0] and SMS[3:0] bit fields are split into two parts for compatibility reasons, the
most significant bit are not contiguous with the 3 least significant ones.
This mode must not be used with center-aligned PWM modes. It is mandatory to have
CMS[1:0] = 00 in TIMx_CR1.

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. When needed, you can program the input filter as well. CC1NP and CC2NP must
be kept low.
The two inputs TI1 and TI2 are used to interface to an quadrature encoder. Refer to
Table 145. 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, repetition
counter, trigger output features continue to work as normal. Encoder mode and External
clock mode 2 are not compatible and must not be selected together.

Note:

The prescaler must be set to zero when encoder mode is enabled
In this mode, the counter is modified automatically following the speed and the direction of
the quadrature 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.

A quadrature 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.
The Figure 199 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:
•

CC1S=’01’ (TIMx_CCMR1 register, TI1FP1 mapped on TI1).

•

CC2S=’01’ (TIMx_CCMR2 register, TI1FP2 mapped on TI2).

•

•

CC2P=’0’ and CC2NP=’0’ (TIMx_CCER register, TI1FP2 non-inverted, TI1FP2= TI2).

•

SMS=’011’ (TIMx_SMCR register, both inputs are active on both rising and falling
edges).

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.
The IUFREMAP bit in the TIMx_CR1 register forces a continuous copy of the update
interrupt flag (UIF) into the timer counter register’s bit 31 (TIMxCNT[31]). This allows both
the counter value and a potential roll-over condition signaled by the UIFCPY flag to be read
in an atomic way. It eases the calculation of angular speed by avoiding race conditions
caused, for instance, by a processing shared between a background task (counter reading)
and an interrupt (update interrupt).
There is no latency between the UIF and UIFCPY flag assertions.
In 32-bit timer implementations, when the IUFREMAP bit is set, bit 31 of the counter is
overwritten by the UIFCPY flag upon read access (the counter’s most significant bit is only
accessible in write mode).

22.3.22

UIF bit remapping
The IUFREMAP bit in the TIMx_CR1 register forces a continuous copy of the Update
Interrupt Flag UIF into the timer counter register’s bit 31 (TIMxCNT[31]). This allows both
the counter value and a potential roll-over condition signaled by the UIFCPY flag to be read
in an atomic way. In particular cases, it can ease the calculations by avoiding race

(counter reading) and an interrupt (Update Interrupt).

The TI1S bit in the TIMx_CR2 register, allows the input filter of channel 1 to be connected to
the output of an XOR gate, combining the three input pins TIMx_CH1, TIMx_CH2 and
TIMx_CH3.
The XOR output can be used with all the timer input functions such as trigger or input

Interfacing with Hall sensors
This is done using the advanced-control timers (TIM1 or TIM8) to generate PWM signals to
drive the motor and another timer TIMx (TIM2, TIM3, TIM4) referred to as “interfacing timer”
in Figure 202. The “interfacing timer” captures the 3 timer input pins (CC1, CC2, CC3)
connected through a XOR to the TI1 input channel (selected by setting the TI1S bit in the
TIMx_CR2 register).
The slave mode controller is configured in reset mode; the slave input is TI1F_ED. Thus,
each time one of the 3 inputs toggles, the counter restarts counting from 0. This creates a
time base triggered by any change on the Hall inputs.
On the “interfacing timer”, capture/compare channel 1 is configured in capture mode,
capture signal is TRC (See Figure 176: Capture/compare channel (example: channel 1
input stage) on page 670). The captured value, which corresponds to the time elapsed
between 2 changes on the inputs, gives information about motor speed.
The “interfacing timer” can be used in output mode to generate a pulse which changes the
configuration of the channels of the advanced-control timer (TIM1 or TIM8) (by triggering a
COM event). The TIM1 timer is used to generate PWM signals to drive the motor. To do this,
the interfacing timer channel must be programmed so that a positive pulse is generated
after a programmed delay (in output compare or PWM mode). This pulse is sent to the
advanced-control timer (TIM1 or TIM8) through the TRGO output.

Advanced-control timers (TIM1/TIM8)
Example: you want to change the PWM configuration of your advanced-control timer TIM1
after a programmed delay each time a change occurs on the Hall inputs connected to one of
the TIMx timers.
•

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

•

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

•

Program the channel 1 in capture mode (TRC selected): write the CC1S bits in the
TIMx_CCMR1 register to ‘01’. You can also program the digital filter if needed,

•

Program the channel 2 in PWM 2 mode with the desired delay: write the OC2M bits to
‘111’ and the CC2S bits to ‘00’ in the TIMx_CCMR1 register,

•

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

In the advanced-control timer TIM1, the right ITR input must be selected as trigger input, the
timer is programmed to generate PWM signals, the capture/compare control signals are
preloaded (CCPC=1 in the TIMx_CR2 register) and the COM event is controlled by the
trigger input (CCUS=1 in the TIMx_CR2 register). The PWM control bits (CCxE, OCxM) are
written after a COM event for the next step (this can be done in an interrupt subroutine
generated by the rising edge of OC2REF).

Timer synchronization
The TIMx timers are linked together internally for timer synchronization or chaining. They
can be synchronized 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.

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:
•

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

•

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: Combined reset + trigger mode
In this case, a rising edge of the selected trigger input (TRGI) reinitializes the counter,
generates an update of the registers, and starts the counter.
This mode is used for one-pulse mode.

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 (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:

The clock of the slave peripherals (timer, ADC, ...) receiving the TRGO or the TRGO2
signals must be enabled prior to receive events from the master timer, and the clock
frequency (prescaler) must not be changed on-the-fly while triggers are received from the
master timer.

RM0385 Rev 8

22.3.26

Advanced-control timers (TIM1/TIM8)

ADC synchronization
The timer can generate an ADC triggering event with various internal signals, such as reset,
enable or compare events. It is also possible to generate a pulse issued by internal edge
detectors, such as:
–

Rising and falling edges of OC4ref

–

Rising edge on OC5ref or falling edge on OC6ref

The triggers are issued on the TRGO2 internal line which is redirected to the ADC. There is
a total of 16 possible events, which can be selected using the MMS2[3:0] bits in the
TIMx_CR2 register.
An example of an application for 3-phase motor drives is given in Figure 187 on page 682.
Note:

The clock of the slave peripherals (timer, ADC, ...) receiving the TRGO or the TRGO2
signals must be enabled prior to receive events from the master timer, and the clock
frequency (prescaler) must not be changed on-the-fly while triggers are received from the
master timer.

Note:

The clock of the ADC 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 timer.

22.3.27

DMA burst mode
The TIMx timers have the capability to generate multiple DMA requests upon a single event.
The main purpose is to be able to re-program part of the timer multiple times without
software overhead, but it can also be used to read several registers in a row, at regular
intervals.
The DMA controller destination is unique and must point to the virtual register TIMx_DMAR.
On a given timer event, the timer launches a sequence of DMA requests (burst). Each write
into the TIMx_DMAR register is actually redirected to one of the timer registers.
The DBL[4:0] bits in the TIMx_DCR register set the DMA burst length. 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 (either in half-words or in bytes).
The DBA[4:0] bits in the TIMx_DCR registers define the DMA 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
As an example, the timer DMA burst feature is used to update the contents of the CCRx
registers (x = 2, 3, 4) upon an update event, with the DMA transferring half words into the
CCRx registers.

Advanced-control timers (TIM1/TIM8)

This is done in the following steps:
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

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.
Note:

A null value can be written to the reserved registers.

22.3.28

Debug mode
When the microcontroller enters debug mode (Cortex®-M7 core halted), the TIMx counter
either continues to work normally or stops, depending on DBG_TIMx_STOP configuration
bit in DBG module.
For safety purposes, when the counter is stopped (DBG_TIMx_STOP = 1), the outputs are
disabled (as if the MOE bit was reset). The outputs can either be forced to an inactive state
(OSSI bit = 1), or have their control taken over by the GPIO controller (OSSI bit = 0),
typically to force a Hi-Z.
For more details, refer to Section 40.16.2: Debug support for timers, watchdog, bxCAN and
I2C.

Advanced-control timers (TIM1/TIM8)

Bits 31:24 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bits 23:20 MMS2[3:0]: Master mode selection 2
These bits allow the information to be sent to ADC for synchronization (TRGO2) to be
selected. The combination is as follows:
0000: Reset - the UG bit from the TIMx_EGR register is used as trigger output (TRGO2). If
the reset is generated by the trigger input (slave mode controller configured in reset mode),
the signal on TRGO2 is delayed compared to the actual reset.
0001: Enable - the Counter Enable signal CNT_EN is used as trigger output (TRGO2). 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 the CEN control bit
and the trigger input when configured in Gated mode. When the Counter Enable signal is
controlled by the trigger input, there is a delay on TRGO2, except if the Master/Slave mode
is selected (see the MSM bit description in TIMx_SMCR register).
0010: Update - the update event is selected as trigger output (TRGO2). For instance, a
master timer can then be used as a prescaler for a slave timer.

Bits 16, 2, 1, 0 SMS[3:0]: 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.
0000: Slave mode disabled - if CEN = ‘1’ then the prescaler is clocked directly by the internal
clock.
0001: Encoder mode 1 - Counter counts up/down on TI1FP1 edge depending on TI2FP2
level.
0010: Encoder mode 2 - Counter counts up/down on TI2FP2 edge depending on TI1FP1
level.
0011: Encoder mode 3 - Counter counts up/down on both TI1FP1 and TI2FP2 edges
depending on the level of the other input.
0100: Reset Mode - Rising edge of the selected trigger input (TRGI) reinitializes the counter
and generates an update of the registers.
0101: 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.
0110: 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.
0111: External Clock Mode 1 - Rising edges of the selected trigger (TRGI) clock the counter.
1000: Combined reset + trigger mode - Rising edge of the selected trigger input (TRGI)
reinitializes the counter, generates an update of the registers and starts the counter.
Codes above 1000: Reserved.
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.
Note: The clock of the slave peripherals (timer, ADC, ...) receiving the TRGO or the TRGO2
signals must be enabled prior to receive events from the master timer, and the clock
frequency (prescaler) must not be changed on-the-fly while triggers are received from
the master timer.

TIMx capture/compare mode register 1 (TIMx_CCMR1)(x = 1, 8)
Address offset: 0x18
Reset value: 0x0000 0000
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.

0011: Toggle - OC1REF toggles when TIMx_CNT=TIMx_CCR1.
0100: Force inactive level - OC1REF is forced low.

0110: PWM mode 1 - In upcounting, channel 1 is active as long as TIMx_CNTTIMx_CCR1 else active (OC1REF=’1’).
0111: PWM mode 2 - In upcounting, channel 1 is inactive as long as
TIMx_CNTTIMx_CCR1 else inactive.
1000: Retrigerrable OPM mode 1 - In up-counting mode, the channel is active until a trigger
event is detected (on TRGI signal). Then, a comparison is performed as in PWM mode 1
and the channels becomes active again at the next update. In down-counting mode, the
channel is inactive until a trigger event is detected (on TRGI signal). Then, a comparison is
performed as in PWM mode 1 and the channels becomes inactive again at the next update.
1001: Retrigerrable OPM mode 2 - In up-counting mode, the channel is inactive until a
trigger event is detected (on TRGI signal). Then, a comparison is performed as in PWM
mode 2 and the channels becomes inactive again at the next update. In down-counting

Note: In PWM mode, 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: On channels having a complementary output, this bit field is preloaded. If the CCPC bit

Note: 1: These bits can not be modified as long as LOCK level 3 has been programmed

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 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

CC1 channel configured as input: CC1NP/CC1P bits select the active polarity of TI1FP1
and TI2FP1 for trigger or capture operations.
00: non-inverted/rising edge. The circuit is sensitive to TIxFP1 rising edge (capture or trigger
operations in reset, external clock or trigger mode), TIxFP1 is not inverted (trigger operation
in gated mode or encoder mode).
01: inverted/falling edge. The circuit is sensitive to TIxFP1 falling edge (capture or trigger
operations in reset, external clock or trigger mode), TIxFP1 is inverted (trigger operation in
gated mode or encoder mode).
10: reserved, do not use this configuration.
11: non-inverted/both edges/ The circuit is sensitive to both TIxFP1 rising and falling edges
(capture or trigger operations in reset, external clock or trigger mode), TIxFP1 is not inverted
(trigger operation in gated mode). This configuration must not be used in encoder mode.
Note: This bit is not writable as soon as LOCK level 2 or 3 has been programmed (LOCK bits
in TIMx_BDTR register).
On channels having a complementary output, this bit is preloaded. If the CCPC bit is set in the
TIMx_CR2 register then the CC1P active bit takes the new value from the preloaded bit only
when a Commutation event is generated.
Bit 0 CC1E: Capture/Compare 1 output enable
CC1 channel configured as output:
0: Off - OC1 is not active. OC1 level is then function of MOE, OSSI, OSSR, OIS1, OIS1N
and CC1NE bits.
1: On - OC1 signal is output on the corresponding output pin depending on MOE, OSSI,

Then (this is valid only if BRK is triggered), 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 (may cause a short circuit
when driving switches in half-bridge configuration).
Note: BRK2 can only be used if OSSI = OSSR = 1.

1. When both outputs of a channel are not used (control taken over by GPIO), 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 registers.

Bits 15:0 REP[15:0]: 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
the number of half PWM period in center-aligned mode.

Advanced-control timers (TIM1/TIM8)

Bit 15 MOE: Main output enable
This bit is cleared asynchronously by hardware as soon as one of the break inputs is active
(BRK or BRK2). 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: In response to a break 2 event. OC and OCN outputs are disabled
In response to a break event or if MOE is written to 0: OC and OCN outputs are disabled or
forced to idle state depending on the OSSI bit.
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 22.4.9: TIMx capture/compare
enable register (TIMx_CCER)(x = 1, 8)).
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 none of the break
inputs BRK and BRK2 is 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
This bit enables the complete break protection (including all sources connected to bk_acth
and BKIN sources, as per Figure 191: Break and Break2 circuitry overview).
0: Break function disabled
1: Break function 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 22.4.9: TIMx capture/compare
enable register (TIMx_CCER)(x = 1, 8)).
0: When inactive, OC/OCN outputs are disabled (the timer releases the output control which
is taken over by the GPIO logic, which forces a Hi-Z state).
1: When inactive, OC/OCN outputs are enabled with their inactive level as soon as CCxE=1
or CCxNE=1 (the output is still controlled by the timer).
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 due to a break event or by a software write, on channels
configured as outputs.
See OC/OCN enable description for more details (Section 22.4.9: TIMx capture/compare
enable register (TIMx_CCER)(x = 1, 8)).
0: When inactive, OC/OCN outputs are disabled (the timer releases the output control which
is taken over by the GPIO logic and which imposes a Hi-Z state).
1: When inactive, OC/OCN outputs are first forced with their inactive level then forced to their
idle level after the deadtime. The timer maintains its control over the output.
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 us to 31750 ns by 250 ns steps,
32 us to 63us by 1 us steps,
64 us to 126 us by 2 us 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).

Advanced-control timers (TIM1/TIM8)

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
Example: Let us consider the following transfer: DBL = 7 bytes & DBA = TIM2_CR1.
– If DBL = 7 bytes and DBA = TIM2_CR1 represents the address of the byte to be
transferred, the address of the transfer should be given by the following equation:
(TIMx_CR1 address) + DBA + (DMA index), where DMA index = DBL
In this example, 7 bytes are added to (TIMx_CR1 address) + DBA, which gives us the
address from/to which the data will be copied. In this case, the transfer is done to 7 registers
starting from the following address: (TIMx_CR1 address) + DBA
According to the configuration of the DMA Data Size, several cases may occur:
– If you configure the DMA Data Size in half-words, 16-bit data will be transferred to each of
the 7 registers.
– If you configure the DMA Data Size in bytes, the data will also be transferred to 7 registers:
the first register will contain the first MSB byte, the second register, the first LSB byte and
so on. So with the transfer Timer, you also have to specify the size of data transferred by
DMA.
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,
...

General-purpose timers (TIM2/TIM3/TIM4/TIM5)

23.1

TIM2/TIM3/TIM4/TIM5 introduction
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 23.3.19: Timer synchronization.

23.2

TIM2/TIM3/TIM4/TIM5 main features
General-purpose TIMx timer features include:
•

16-bit (TIM3, TIM4) or 32-bit (TIM2 and TIM5) up, down, up/down auto-reload counter.

•

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

•

Up to 4 independent channels for:
–

Input capture

–

Output compare

–

PWM generation (Edge- and Center-aligned modes)

–

One-pulse mode output

•

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

•

Interrupt/DMA generation on the following events:
–

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

–

Trigger event (counter start, stop, initialization or count by internal/external trigger)

–

Input capture

–

Output compare

•

Supports incremental (quadrature) encoder and hall-sensor circuitry for positioning
purposes

•

Trigger input for external clock or cycle-by-cycle current management

General-purpose timers (TIM2/TIM3/TIM4/TIM5)

23.3

TIM2/TIM3/TIM4/TIM5 functional description

23.3.1

Time-base unit
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 208 and Figure 209 give some examples of the counter behavior when the prescaler
ratio is changed on the fly:

General-purpose timers (TIM2/TIM3/TIM4/TIM5)

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
clearing the counter on the capture event.
When an update event occurs, all the registers are updated and the update flag (UIF bit in

•

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

•

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

•

one (the counter is loaded with the new value).

frequencies.

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

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, for
example, you can configure Timer 13 to act as a prescaler for Timer 2. Refer to : Using
one timer as prescaler for another timer on page 783 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 227 shows the behavior of the control circuit and the upcounter in normal mode,
without prescaler.

758/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Note:

General-purpose timers (TIM2/TIM3/TIM4/TIM5)
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 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
register

4.

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

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
resynchronization circuit on the ETRP signal.

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.

23.3.5

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:
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

RM0385 Rev 8

763/1724

General-purpose timers (TIM2/TIM3/TIM4/TIM5)

RM0385

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 and CC1NP bits to 000 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.

23.3.6

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

764/1724

•

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.

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

General-purpose timers (TIM2/TIM3/TIM4/TIM5)
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.
Figure 235. PWM input mode timing

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.

23.3.7

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.
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.

General-purpose timers (TIM2/TIM3/TIM4/TIM5)

RM0385

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.

23.3.8

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 236.

23.3.9

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 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.

RM0385

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 Upcounting
mode on page 747.
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 100%. 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

768/1724

RM0385

General-purpose timers (TIM2/TIM3/TIM4/TIM5)
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
Center-aligned mode (up/down counting) on page 753.
Figure 238 shows some center-aligned PWM waveforms in an example where:
•

TIMx_ARR=8,

•

PWM mode is the PWM mode 1,

•

The flag is set when the counter counts down corresponding to the center-aligned
mode 1 selected for CMS=01 in TIMx_CR1 register.

Hints on using center-aligned mode:
•

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

RM0385

in the TIMx_CR1 register. Moreover, the DIR and CMS bits must not be changed at the
same time by the software.
•

•

23.3.10

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

The direction is not updated if 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.

Asymmetric PWM mode
Asymmetric mode allows two center-aligned PWM signals to be generated with a
programmable phase shift. While the frequency is determined by the value of the
TIMx_ARR register, the duty cycle and the phase-shift are determined by a pair of
TIMx_CCRx registers. One register controls the PWM during up-counting, the second
during down counting, so that PWM is adjusted every half PWM cycle:
•

OC1REFC (or OC2REFC) is controlled by TIMx_CCR1 and TIMx_CCR2

•

OC3REFC (or OC4REFC) is controlled by TIMx_CCR3 and TIMx_CCR4

Asymmetric PWM mode can be selected independently on two channels (one OCx output
per pair of CCR registers) by writing ‘1110’ (Asymmetric PWM mode 1) or ‘1111’
(Asymmetric PWM mode 2) in the OCxM bits in the TIMx_CCMRx register.
Note:

The OCxM[3:0] bit field is split into two parts for compatibility reasons, the most significant
bit is not contiguous with the 3 least significant ones.
When a given channel is used as asymmetric PWM channel, its secondary channel can also
be used. For instance, if an OC1REFC signal is generated on channel 1 (Asymmetric PWM
mode 1), it is possible to output either the OC2REF signal on channel 2, or an OC2REFC
signal resulting from asymmetric PWM mode 2.
Figure 239 shows an example of signals that can be generated using Asymmetric PWM
mode (channels 1 to 4 are configured in Asymmetric PWM mode 1).

General-purpose timers (TIM2/TIM3/TIM4/TIM5)

Combined PWM mode
Combined PWM mode allows two edge or center-aligned PWM signals to be generated with
programmable delay and phase shift between respective pulses. While the frequency is
determined by the value of the TIMx_ARR register, the duty cycle and delay are determined
by the two TIMx_CCRx registers. The resulting signals, OCxREFC, are made of an OR or
AND logical combination of two reference PWMs:
– OC1REFC (or OC2REFC) is controlled by TIMx_CCR1 and TIMx_CCR2
– OC3REFC (or OC4REFC) is controlled by TIMx_CCR3 and TIMx_CCR4
Combined PWM mode can be selected independently on two channels (one OCx output per
pair of CCR registers) by writing ‘1100’ (Combined PWM mode 1) or ‘1101’ (Combined PWM
mode 2) in the OCxM bits in the TIMx_CCMRx register.
When a given channel is used as combined PWM channel, its secondary channel must be
configured in the opposite PWM mode (for instance, one in Combined PWM mode 1 and the
other in Combined PWM mode 2).

Note:

The OCxM[3:0] bit field is split into two parts for compatibility reasons, the most significant
bit is not contiguous with the 3 least significant ones.
Figure 240 shows an example of signals that can be generated using Asymmetric PWM
mode, obtained with the following configuration:

Clearing the OCxREF signal on an external event
The OCxREF signal of a given channel can be cleared when a high level is applied on the
ocref_clr_int input (OCxCE enable bit in the corresponding TIMx_CCMRx register set to 1).
OCxREF remains low until the next update event (UEV) occurs. This function can only be
used in Output compare and PWM modes. It does not work in Forced mode.
OCREF_CLR_INPUT can be selected between the OCREF_CLR input and ETRF (ETR
after the filter) by configuring the OCCS bit in the TIMx_SMCR register.
The OCxREF signal for a given channel can be reset by applying a high level on the ETRF
input (OCxCE enable bit set to 1 in the corresponding TIMx_CCMRx register). OCxREF
remains low until the next update event (UEV) occurs.
This function can be used only in the output compare and PWM modes. It does not work in
forced mode.
For example, the OCxREF signal can be connected to the output of a comparator to be
used for current handling. In this case, ETR must be configured as follows:

772/1724

1.

The external trigger prescaler should be kept off: bits ETPS[1:0] in the TIMx_SMCR
register are cleared to 00.

2.

The external clock mode 2 must be disabled: bit ECE in the TIM1_SMCR register is
cleared to 0.

3.

The external trigger polarity (ETP) and the external trigger filter (ETF) can be
configured according to the application’s needs.

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

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 onepulse 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 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 31:16 CCR4[31:16]: High Capture/Compare 4 value (on TIM2 and TIM5)
Bits 15:0 CCR4[15:0]: Low Capture/Compare value
1.
if CC4 channel is configured as output (CC4S bits):
CCR4 is the value to be loaded in the actual capture/compare 4 register (preload value).
It is loaded permanently if the preload feature is not selected in the TIMx_CCMR2
register (bit OC4PE). Else the preload value is copied in the active capture/compare 4
register when an update event occurs.
The active capture/compare register contains the value to be compared to the counter
TIMx_CNT and signalled on OC4 output.
2.
if CC4 channel is configured as input (CC4S bits in TIMx_CCMR4 register):
CCR4 is the counter value transferred by the last input capture 4 event (IC4). The
TIMx_CCR4 register is read-only and cannot be programmed.

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 number of DMA transfers (the timer recognizes a burst transfer
when a read or a write access is done to the TIMx_DMAR address).
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-bit 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 & DBA = TIMx_CR1. In
this case the transfer is done to/from 7 registers starting from the TIMx_CR1 address.

General-purpose timers
(TIM9/TIM10/TIM11/TIM12/TIM13/TIM14)

24.1

TIM9/TIM10/TIM11/TIM12/TIM13/TIM14 introduction
The TIM9/TIM10/TIM11/TIM12/TIM13/TIM14 general-purpose timers consist in 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 TIM9/TIM10/TIM11/TIM12/TIM13/TIM14 timers are completely independent, and do not
share any resources. They can be synchronized together as described in Section 24.3.16:
Timer synchronization (TIM9/TIM12).

24.2

TIM9/TIM10/TIM11/TIM12/TIM13/TIM14 main features

24.2.1

TIM9/TIM12 main features
The features of the TIM9/TIM12 general-purpose timers include:
•

16-bit auto-reload upcounter

•

16-bit programmable prescaler used to divide the counter clock frequency by any factor
between 1 and 65536 (can be changed “on the fly”)

•

Up to 2 independent channels for:
–

Input capture

–

Output compare

–

PWM generation (edge-aligned mode)

–

One-pulse mode output

•

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

•

Interrupt generation on the following events:
–

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

–

Trigger event (counter start, stop, initialization or count by internal trigger)

–

Input capture

–

Output compare

TIM9/TIM10/TIM11/TIM12/TIM13/TIM14 functional description

24.3.1

Time-base unit
The main block of the timer is a 16-bit up-counter 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. 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 details 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 258 and Figure 259 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.
Setting the UG bit in the TIMx_EGR register (by software or by using the slave mode
controller on TIM9/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 TIM9/TIM12): external input pin (TIx)

•

Internal trigger inputs (ITRx) (for TIM9/TIM12): connecting the trigger output from
another timer. For instance, another timer can be configured as a prescaler for TIM12.
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 TIM10/TIM11/TIM13/TIM14.
For TIM9/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 266 shows the behavior of the control circuit and the upcounter in normal mode,
without prescaler.

Note:

General-purpose timers (TIM9/TIM10/TIM11/TIM12/TIM13/TIM14)
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 269 to Figure 271 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.

24.3.5

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:
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 (by programming the ICxF bits in the TIMx_CCMRx register if the input is one of
the TIx inputs). 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

RM0385 Rev 8

825/1724
861

General-purpose timers (TIM9/TIM10/TIM11/TIM12/TIM13/TIM14)

RM0385

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 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.

24.3.6

PWM input mode (only for TIM9/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):

826/1724

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.

24.3.7

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
‘0101’ 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 ‘0100’ 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.

24.3.8

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:
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=’0000’), be
set active (OCxM=’0001’), be set inactive (OCxM=’0010’) or can toggle (OCxM=’0011’)
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).

RM0385

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 = ‘0011’ 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 273.

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 ‘0110’ (PWM mode 1) or ‘0111’ (PWM mode 2) in the OCxM bits in the

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.
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 274 shows some edgealigned PWM waveforms in an example where TIMx_ARR=8.

Combined PWM mode (TIM9/TIM12 only)
Combined PWM mode allows two edge or center-aligned PWM signals to be generated with
programmable delay and phase shift between respective pulses. While the frequency is
determined by the value of the TIMx_ARR register, the duty cycle and delay are determined

by the two TIMx_CCRx registers. The resulting signals, OCxREFC, are made of an OR or
AND logical combination of two reference PWMs:
•

OC1REFC (or OC2REFC) is controlled by the TIMx_CCR1 and TIMx_CCR2 registers

Combined PWM mode can be selected independently on two channels (one OCx output per
pair of CCR registers) by writing ‘1100’ (Combined PWM mode 1) or ‘1101’ (Combined PWM
mode 2) in the OCxM bits in the TIMx_CCMRx register.
When a given channel is used as a combined PWM channel, its complementary channel
must be configured in the opposite PWM mode (for instance, one in Combined PWM mode
1 and the other in Combined PWM mode 2).
Note:

The OCxM[3:0] bit field is split into two parts for compatibility reasons, the most significant
bit is not contiguous with the 3 least significant ones.
Figure 275 represents an example of signals that can be generated using combined PWM
mode, obtained with the following configuration:
•

Channel 1 is configured in Combined PWM mode 2,

•

Channel 2 is configured in PWM mode 1,

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 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).

RM0385

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=’0111’ 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.

24.3.12

Retriggerable one pulse mode (OPM) (TIM12 only)
This mode allows the counter to be started in response to a stimulus and to generate a
pulse with a programmable length, but with the following differences with non-retriggerable
one pulse mode described in Section 24.3.11: One-pulse mode:
•

The pulse starts as soon as the trigger occurs (no programmable delay)

•

The pulse is extended if a new trigger occurs before the previous one is completed

The timer must be in Slave mode, with the bits SMS[3:0] = ‘1000’ (Combined Reset + trigger
mode) in the TIMx_SMCR register, and the OCxM[3:0] bits set to ‘1000’ or ‘1001’ for
retrigerrable OPM mode 1 or 2.
If the timer is configured in up-counting mode, the corresponding CCRx must be set to 0
(the ARR register sets the pulse length). If the timer is configured in down-counting mode,
CCRx must be above or equal to ARR.
Note:

The OCxM[3:0] and SMS[3:0] bit fields are split into two parts for compatibility reasons, the
most significant bit are not contiguous with the 3 least significant ones.
This mode must not be used with center-aligned PWM modes. It is mandatory to have
CMS[1:0] = 00 in TIMx_CR1.

UIF bit remapping
The IUFREMAP bit in the TIMx_CR1 register forces a continuous copy of the Update
Interrupt Flag UIF into bit 31 of the timer counter register (TIMxCNT[31]). This allows to
atomically read both the counter value and a potential roll-over condition signaled by the
UIFCPY flag. In particular cases, it can ease the calculations by avoiding race conditions
caused for instance by a processing shared between a background task (counter reading)
and an interrupt (Update Interrupt).
There is no latency between the assertions of the UIF and UIFCPY flags.

24.3.14

TIM9/TIM12 external trigger synchronization
The TIM9/TIM12 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:
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.

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

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. 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.

TIMx capture/compare mode register 1 (TIMx_CCMR1)(x = 9, 12)
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.

28.3.2

Enabling the watchdog
When the user option WWDG_SW selects “Software window 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.
When the user option WWDG_SW selects “Hardware window watchdog”, the watchdog is
always enabled after a reset, it cannot be disabled.

28.3.3

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 300). 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 300 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).

28.3.4

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)

RM0385 Rev 8

907/1724
912

System window watchdog (WWDG)

RM0385

can be used to trigger specific actions (such as communications or data logging), before
resetting the device.
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 is eventually generated.

28.3.5

How to program the watchdog timeout
Use the formula in Figure 300 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.

t
= t

× ( T [ 5:0 ] + 1 )
WWDG
PCLK

( ms )

where:
tWWDG: WWDG timeout
tPCLK: APB clock period measured in ms
4096: value corresponding to internal divider
As an example, lets assume APB frequency is equal to 48 MHz, WDGTB1:0] is set to 3 and
T[5:0] is set to 63:
3
t WWDG = ( 1 ⁄ 48000 ) × 4096 × 2 × ( 63 + 1 ) = 43.69ms
Refer to the datasheet for the minimum and maximum values of the tWWDG.

28.3.6

Debug mode
When the microcontroller enters debug mode (processor halted), the WWDG counter either
continues to work normally or stops, depending on the configuration bit in DBG module. For
more details refer to Section 40.16.2: Debug support for timers, watchdog, bxCAN and I2C.

Real-time clock (RTC)

29.1

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 Backup 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).

RTC main features
The RTC unit main features are the following (see Figure 301: RTC block diagram):
•

Calendar with subseconds, seconds, minutes, hours (12 or 24 format), day (day of
week), date (day of month), month, and year.

•

Daylight saving compensation programmable by software.

•

Programmable alarm with interrupt function. The alarm can be triggered by any
combination of the calendar fields.

•

Automatic wakeup unit generating a periodic flag that triggers an automatic wakeup
interrupt.

•

Reference clock detection: a more precise second source clock (50 or 60 Hz) can be
used to enhance the calendar precision.

•

Accurate synchronization with an external clock using the subsecond shift feature.

•

Digital calibration circuit (periodic counter correction): 0.95 ppm accuracy, obtained in a
calibration window of several seconds

•

Time-stamp function for event saving

•

Tamper detection event with configurable filter and internal pull-up

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

•

Timestamp can be generated when a switch to VBAT occurs

•

32 x 32-bit backup registers
–

•

•

29.3.2

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.

Output functions: 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: This output is enabled by configuring the OSEL[1:0] bits in the
RTC_CR register which select the Alarm A, Alarm B or Wakeup outputs.

Input functions:
–

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). PC13 pin
configuration is controlled by the RTC, whatever the PC13 GPIO configuration, except for
the RTC_ALARM output open-drain mode. The RTC functions mapped on PC13 are
available in all low-power modes and in VBAT mode.
The output mechanism follows the priority order shown in Table 169.

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 5: 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 301: RTC block diagram):

Note:

918/1724

•

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.

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Real-time clock (RTC)
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 29.3.6: Periodic auto-wakeup for details).

29.3.4

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 RTCCLK period, the current calendar value is copied into the shadow registers, and
the RSF bit of RTC_ISR register is set (see Section 29.6.4: RTC initialization and status
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 1 RTCCLK period.
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.

29.3.5

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.

RM0385 Rev 8

919/1724

Real-time clock (RTC)

RM0385

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.

29.3.6

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 922), 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
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_CR
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.

Real-time clock (RTC)

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_CR1 register (refer to the power control section). DBP bit
must be set in order to enable RTC registers write access.
After Backup 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_TAMPCR, RTC_BKPxR, RTC_OR 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:
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.

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 Backup 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.

RM0385 Rev 8

921/1724

Real-time clock (RTC)

RM0385

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):

29.3.8

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 APB
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 APB 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
read access must be done. In any case the APB 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
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

922/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Real-time clock (RTC)
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 921): the
software must wait until RSF is set before reading the RTC_SSR, RTC_TR and RTC_DR
registers.
After synchronization (refer to Section 29.3.10: 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.

29.3.9

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 Backup 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
(RTC_CALR), the RTC shift register (RTC_SHIFTR), the RTC timestamp registers
(RTC_TSSSR, RTC_TSTR and RTC_TSDR), the RTC tamper configuration register
(RTC_TAMPCR), 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), and the Option register (RTC_OR).
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 Backup 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

Real-time clock (RTC)

RM0385

affected by system reset). When a Backup domain reset occurs, the RTC is stopped and all
the RTC registers are set to their reset values.

29.3.10

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.

29.3.11

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).
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

924/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Real-time clock (RTC)
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 synchronous prescaler which
outputs the ck_spre 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.

29.3.12

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:

•

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
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.

RM0385 Rev 8

925/1724
957

Real-time clock (RTC)

RM0385

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.

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

926/1724

RM0385

Real-time clock (RTC)
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:

29.3.13

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 or ITSE bits of RTC_CR register to 1.
When TSE is set:
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 ITSE is set:
The calendar is saved in the time-stamp registers (RTC_TSSSR, RTC_TSTR, RTC_TSDR)
when an internal time-stamp event is detected. The internal timestamp event is generated
by the switch to the VBAT supply.
When a time-stamp event occurs, due to internal or external event, the time-stamp flag bit
(TSF) in RTC_ISR register is set. In case the event is internal, the ITSF flag is also set in
RTC_ISR register.
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:

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’.

Optionally, a tamper event can cause a time-stamp to be recorded. See the description of
the TAMPTS control bit in Section 29.6.16: RTC tamper configuration register
(RTC_TAMPCR).

29.3.14

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 (default configuration)

•

generate an interrupt, capable to wakeup from Stop and Standby modes

•

generate a hardware trigger for the low-power timers

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 29.6.20:
RTC backup registers (RTC_BKPxR) and Tamper detection initialization on page 928)
except if the TAMPxNOERASE bit is set, or if TAMPxMF is set in the RTC_TAMPCR
register.

Tamper detection initialization
Each input can be enabled by setting the corresponding TAMPxE bits to 1 in the
RTC_TAMPCR register.
Each RTC_TAMPx tamper detection input is associated with a flag TAMPxF in the RTC_ISR
register.
When TAMPxMF is cleared:
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.
When TAMPxMF is set:
A new tamper occurring on the same pin cannot be detected during the latency described
above and 2.5 ck_rtc additional cycles.
By setting the TAMPIE bit in the RTC_TAMPCR register, an interrupt is generated when a
tamper detection event occurs (when TAMPxF is set). Setting TAMPIE is not allowed when
one or more TAMPxMF is set.
When TAMPIE is cleared, each tamper pin event interrupt can be individually enabled by
setting the corresponding TAMPxIE bit in the RTC_TAMPCR register. Setting TAMPxIE is
not allowed when the corresponding TAMPxMF is set.

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Real-time clock (RTC)

Trigger output generation on tamper event
The tamper event detection can be used as trigger input by the low-power timers.
When TAMPxMF bit in cleared in RTC_TAMPCR register, the TAMPxF flag must be cleared
by software in order to allow a new tamper detection on the same pin.
When TAMPxMF bit is set, the TAMPxF flag is masked, and kept cleared in RTC_ISR
register. This configuration allows to trig automatically the low-power timers in Stop mode,
without requiring the system wakeup to perform the TAMPxF clearing. In this case, the
backup registers are not cleared.

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.
Caution:

When using the edge detection, it is recommended to check by software the tamper pin
level just after enabling the tamper detection (by reading the GPIO registers), and before
writing sensitive values in the backup registers, to ensure that an active edge did not occur
before enabling the tamper event detection.
When TAMPFLT="00" and TAMPxTRG = 0 (rising edge detection), a tamper event may be
detected by hardware if the tamper input is already at high level before enabling the tamper
detection.
After a tamper event has been detected and cleared, the RTC_TAMPx 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 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 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.

29.3.15

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).

Note:

When the RTC_CALIB or RTC_ALARM output is selected, the RTC_OUT pin is
automatically configured as output.
When COSEL bit is cleared, the RTC_CALIB output is the output of the 6th stage of the
asynchronous prescaler.
When COSEL bit is set, the RTC_CALIB output is the output of the 8th stage of the
synchronous prescaler.

29.3.16

Alarm output
The OSEL[1:0] control bits in the RTC_CR register are used to activate the alarm 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.

Alarm output
The RTC_ALARM pin can be configured in output open drain or output push-pull using the
control bit RTC_ALARM_TYPE in the RTC_OR register.
Note:

Once the RTC_ALARM output is enabled, it has priority over RTC_CALIB (COE bit is don't
care and must be kept cleared).
When the RTC_CALIB or RTC_ALARM output is selected, the RTC_OUT pin is
automatically configured as output.

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.

pulses added during a 32-second window is calculated as follows: (512 * CALP) - CALM.
Refer to Section 29.3.12: 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 29.3.12: 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 29.3.12: 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 29.3.12: RTC smooth digital calibration on page 925.

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).
If SMBus feature is supported: the additional optional SMBus Alert pin (SMBA) is also
available.

The I2C is clocked by an independent clock source which allows to the I2C to operate
independently from the PCLK frequency.
For I2C I/Os supporting 20 mA output current drive for Fast-mode Plus operation, the driving
capability is enabled through control bits in the system configuration controller (SYSCFG).
Refer to Section 30.3: I2C implementation.

30.4.2

I2C clock requirements
The I2C kernel is clocked by I2CCLK.

960/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Inter-integrated circuit (I2C) interface
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, this clock must respect the conditions for tI2CCLK.

30.4.3

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.

30.4.4

I2C initialization
Enabling and disabling the peripheral
The I2C peripheral clock must be configured and enabled in the clock controller.
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 30.4.5: 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

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 can 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 178: 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 178: 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.

964/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385
Note:

Inter-integrated circuit (I2C) interface
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:

Changing the NOSTRETCH configuration is not allowed when the I2C is enabled.

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.

Inter-integrated circuit (I2C) interface

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).

Transmission
If the I2C_TXDR register is not empty (TXE=0), its content is copied into the shift register
after the 9th SCL pulse (the Acknowledge pulse). Then the shift register content is shifted
out on SDA line. If TXE=1, meaning that no data is written yet in I2C_TXDR, SCL line is
stretched low until I2C_TXDR is written. The stretch is done after the 9th SCL 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.

Inter-integrated circuit (I2C) interface
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.

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.

970/1724

•

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.

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Inter-integrated circuit (I2C) interface

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:

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,
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 is
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.

Universal synchronous receiver transmitter (USART) /universal asynchronous receiver

USART character description
The word length can be selected as being either 7 or 8 or 9 bits by programming the M[1:0]
bits in the USART_CR1 register (see Figure 333).

Note:

•

7-bit character length: M[1:0] = 10

•

8-bit character length: M[1:0] = 00

•

9-bit character length: M[1:0] = 01

The 7-bit mode is supported only on some USARTs. In addition, not all modes are
supported in 7-bit data length mode. Refer to Section 31.4: USART implementation for
additional information.
By default, the signal (TX or RX) is in low state during the start bit. It is in high state during
the stop bit.
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.
The details of each block is given below.

31.5.2

Universal synchronous receiver transmitter (USART) /universal asynchronous receiver

USART transmitter
The transmitter can send data words of either 7, 8 or 9 bits depending on the M bits 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 332).
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 M[1:0] = 00) or 11 low bits (when M[1:0] = 01)
or 9 low bits (when M[1:0] = 10) followed by 2 stop bits (see Figure 334). It is not possible to
transmit long breaks (break of length greater than 9/10/11 low bits).

Character transmission procedure
1.

Program the M bits 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.

1032/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Universal synchronous receiver transmitter (USART) /universal asynchronous receiver
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 335: TC/TXE behavior when transmitting).
Figure 335. TC/TXE behavior when transmitting

Break characters
Setting the SBKRQ bit transmits a break character. The break frame length depends on the
M bits (see Figure 333).
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.

31.5.3

USART receiver
The USART can receive data words of either 7, 8 or 9 bits depending on the M bits in the
USART_CR1 register.

Start bit detection
The start bit detection sequence is the same when oversampling by 16 or by 8.

RM0385 Rev 8

1033/1724
1087

Universal synchronous receiver transmitter (USART) /universal asynchronous receiver transmitIn 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.
Figure 336. Start bit detection when oversampling by 16 or 8

Note:

If the sequence is not complete, the start bit detection aborts and the receiver returns to the
idle state (no flag is set), where it waits for a falling edge.
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).

RM0385 Rev 8

Universal synchronous receiver transmitter (USART) /universal asynchronous receiver

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 bits 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.

RM0385 Rev 8

1035/1724
1087

Universal synchronous receiver transmitter (USART) /universal asynchronous receiver transmit-

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 clock source frequency is fCK.
When the dual clock domain is supported, the clock source can be one of the following
sources: PCLK (default), LSE, HSI or SYSCLK.
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 337 and
Figure 338).
Depending on the application:

1036/1724

•

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 31.5.5: Tolerance of the USART receiver to clock deviation on page 1042)

•

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.

Universal synchronous receiver transmitter (USART) /universal asynchronous receiver
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 193) 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 31.5.5:
Tolerance of the USART receiver to clock deviation on page 1042). 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:

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.

31.5.4

•

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 31.5.13: USART
Smartcard mode on page 1053 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

RM0385 Rev 8

1087

Universal synchronous receiver transmitter (USART) /universal asynchronous receiver transmitUSARTDIV 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 16d.

How to derive USARTDIV from USART_BRR register values

In case of oversampling by 8:
USARTDIV = 2 * 8 000 000/9600

31.5.5

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 < USART receiver′ s tolerance

The USART receiver can receive data correctly at up to the maximum tolerated
deviation specified in Table 196 and Table 196 depending on the following choices:
•

9-, 10- or 11-bit character length defined by the M bits 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.

31.5.6

Universal synchronous receiver transmitter (USART) /universal asynchronous receiver

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 baud rate 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 baud rate 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 baud rate 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).

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.

RM0385 Rev 8

1043/1724
1087

Universal synchronous receiver transmitter (USART) /universal asynchronous receiver transmitAt 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.

31.5.7

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:

1044/1724

•

Idle Line detection if the WAKE bit is reset,

•

Address Mark detection if the WAKE bit is set.

Idle line detection (WAKE=0)
The USART enters mute mode when the 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 339.

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 340.

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 bits, the possible USART frame formats are as listed in Table 198.

1. Legends: SB: start bit, STB: stop bit, PB: parity bit. In the data register, the PB is always taking the MSB
position (9th, 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 6, 7 or 8
LSB bits (depending on M bits values) 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 6, 7
or 8 LSB bits (depending on M bits values) 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)).

SCEN, HDSEL and IREN in the USART_CR3 register.

LIN transmission
The procedure explained in Section 31.5.2: 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 341: Break detection in LIN mode (11-bit break length - LBDL bit is set) on
page 1049.
Examples of break frames are given on Figure 342: Break detection in LIN mode vs.
Framing error detection on page 1050.

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 343, Figure 344 and Figure 345).
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).

1050/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

Note:

Universal synchronous receiver transmitter (USART) /universal asynchronous receiver
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.

Universal synchronous receiver transmitter (USART) /universal asynchronous receiver

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.

31.5.13

USART Smartcard mode
This section is relevant only when Smartcard mode is supported. Please refer to
Section 31.4: USART implementation on page 1026.
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 347 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.

1054/1724

•

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.

RM0385 Rev 8

Note:

•

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 348 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_GTPR. CK frequency can be programmed from fCK/2 to fCK/62,
where fCK is the peripheral input clock.

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).

Note:

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.

Universal synchronous receiver transmitter (USART) /universal asynchronous receiver transmitMethod 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 31.4:
USART implementation on page 1026.
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 349).
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.

1058/1724

•

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 350).

•

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.

RM0385 Rev 8

Universal synchronous receiver transmitter (USART) /universal asynchronous receiver
•

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).

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 8: Direct memory access controller (DMA) on page 242) 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

Universal synchronous receiver transmitter (USART) /universal asynchronous receiver
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.

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.

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 353 shows how to connect 2 devices in this mode:

Universal synchronous receiver transmitter (USART) /universal asynchronous receiver
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 354 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 355
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).

Bits 19:17 SCARCNT[2:0]: Smartcard auto-retry count
This bit-field specifies the number of retries in transmit and receive, in Smartcard mode.
In transmission mode, it specifies the number of automatic retransmission retries, before
generating a transmission error (FE bit set).
In reception mode, it specifies the number or erroneous reception trials, before generating a
reception error (RXNE and PE bits set).
This bit field must be programmed only when the USART is disabled (UE=0).
When the USART is enabled (UE=1), this bit field may only be written to 0x0, in order to stop
retransmission.
0x0: retransmission disabled - No automatic retransmission in transmit mode.
0x1 to 0x7: number of automatic retransmission attempts (before signaling error)
Note: If Smartcard mode is not supported, this bit is reserved and must be kept at reset
value. Please refer to Section 31.4: USART implementation on page 1026.
Bit 16 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bit 15 DEP: Driver enable polarity selection
0: DE signal is active high.
1: DE signal is active low.
This bit can only be written when the USART is disabled (UE=0).
Note: If the Driver Enable feature is not supported, this bit is reserved and must be kept at
reset value. Please refer to Section 31.4: USART implementation on page 1026.
Bit 14 DEM: Driver enable mode
This bit allows the user to activate the external transceiver control, through the DE signal.
0: DE function is disabled.
1: DE function is enabled. The DE signal is output on the RTS pin.
This bit can only be written when the USART is disabled (UE=0).
Note: If the Driver Enable feature is not supported, this bit is reserved and must be kept at
reset value. Section 31.4: USART implementation on page 1026.
Bit 13 DDRE: DMA Disable on Reception Error
0: DMA is not disabled in case of reception error. The corresponding error flag is set but
RXNE is kept 0 preventing from overrun. As a consequence, the DMA request is not
asserted, so the erroneous data is not transferred (no DMA request), but next correct
received data will be transferred (used for Smartcard mode).
1: DMA is disabled following a reception error. The corresponding error flag is set, as well as
RXNE. The DMA request is masked until the error flag is cleared. This means that the
software must first disable the DMA request (DMAR = 0) or clear RXNE before clearing the
error flag.
This bit can only be written when the USART is disabled (UE=0).
Note: The reception errors are: parity error, framing error or noise error.
Bit 12 OVRDIS: Overrun Disable
This bit is used to disable the receive overrun detection.
0: Overrun Error Flag, ORE, is set when received data is not read before receiving new data.
1: Overrun functionality is disabled. If new data is received while the RXNE flag is still set
the ORE flag is not set and the new received data overwrites the previous content of the
USART_RDR register.
This bit can only be written when the USART is disabled (UE=0).
Note: This control bit allows checking the communication flow without reading the data.

Universal synchronous receiver transmitter (USART) /universal asynchronous receiver

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 31.4: USART implementation on

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
Note: If Smartcard mode is not supported, this bit is reserved and kept at reset value. Please
refer to Section 31.4: USART implementation on page 1026.
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
kept at reset value.
Bit 10 CTS: CTS flag
This bit is set/reset by hardware. It is an inverted copy of the status of the CTS input pin.
0: CTS line set
1: CTS line reset
Note: If the hardware flow control feature is not supported, this bit is reserved and kept at
reset value.
Bit 9 CTSIF: CTS interrupt flag
This bit is set by hardware when the CTS input toggles, if the CTSE bit is set. It is cleared by
software, by writing 1 to the CTSCF bit in the USART_ICR register.
An interrupt is generated if CTSIE=1 in the USART_CR3 register.
0: No change occurred on the CTS status line
1: A change occurred on the CTS status line
Note: If the hardware flow control feature is not supported, this bit is reserved and kept at
reset value.
Bit 8 LBDF: LIN break detection flag
This bit is set by hardware when the LIN break is detected. It is cleared by software, by
writing 1 to the LBDCF in the USART_ICR.
An interrupt is generated if LBDIE = 1 in the USART_CR2 register.
0: LIN Break not detected
1: LIN break detected
Note: If the USART does not support LIN mode, this bit is reserved and kept at reset value.
Please refer to Section 31.4: USART implementation on page 1026.

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.
An interrupt is generated if TCIE=1 in the USART_CR1 register.
0: Transmission is not complete
1: Transmission is complete
Note: If TE bit is reset and no transmission is on going, the TC bit will be set immediately.
Bit 5 RXNE: Read data register not empty
This bit is set by hardware when the content of the RDR shift register has been transferred
to the USART_RDR register. It is cleared by a read to the USART_RDR register. The RXNE
flag can also be cleared by writing 1 to the RXFRQ in the USART_RQR register.
An interrupt is generated if RXNEIE=1 in the USART_CR1 register.
0: data is not received
1: Received data is ready to be read.
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 31.5.5:
Tolerance of the USART receiver to clock deviation on page 1042).
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.
An interrupt is generated if PEIE = 1 in the USART_CR1 register.
0: No parity error
1: Parity error

Serial peripheral interface / inter-IC sound (SPI/I2S)

32.1

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 half-duplex communication. Full-duplex
operations are possible by combining two I2S blocks. It can address four different audio
standards including the Philips I2S standard, the MSB- and LSB-justified standards and the
PCM standard.

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 32.5.5: 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.

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.

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 32.5.5: 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.

2. In this configuration, the master’s MISO pin and the slave’s MOSI pin can be used as GPIOs.
3. A critical situation can happen when communication direction is changed not synchronously between two
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.

1092/1724

•

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 32.5.5: Slave select (NSS) pin management).
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:

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).

32.5.3

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 361.). 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 7.3.7: I/O alternate function input/output.

32.5.4

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.
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.

1094/1724

RM0385

Serial peripheral interface / inter-IC sound (SPI/I2S)
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.

32.5.5

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).
–

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
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.

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.
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 364, 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).

1. The order of data bits depends on LSBFIRST bit setting.

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 365). During
communication, only bits within the data frame are clocked and transferred.

32.5.8

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.

32.5.9

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 32.5.14: 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 32.5.13: 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.
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 367 through Figure 370.

RM0385 Rev 8

1099/1724
1146

Serial peripheral interface / inter-IC sound (SPI/I2S)

RM0385

Another way to manage the data exchange is to use DMA (see Communication using DMA
(direct memory addressing)).
If the next data is received when the RXFIFO is full, an overrun event occurs (see
description of OVR flag at Section 32.5.10: 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 32.5.5: 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

1100/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Serial peripheral interface / inter-IC sound (SPI/I2S)
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:

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.

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 366 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.

1. In this example: Data size DS[3:0] is 4-bit configured, CPOL=0, CPHA=1 and LSBFIRST =0. The Data
storage is always right aligned while the valid bits are performed on the bus only, the content of LSB byte
goes first on the bus, the unused bits are not taken into account on the transmitter side and padded by
zeros at the receiver side.

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 367 through Figure 370.
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
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.

Serial peripheral interface / inter-IC sound (SPI/I2S)
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 1101.)

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 367 on page 1105 through
Figure 370 on page 1108.

1104/1724

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.

32.5.10

Serial peripheral interface / inter-IC sound (SPI/I2S)

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:

•

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.

32.5.11

RM0385

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 32.5.14: 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.

1110/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Serial peripheral interface / inter-IC sound (SPI/I2S)
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.

32.5.12

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 371 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.

32.5.13

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 372). 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
RM0385 Rev 8

1146

Serial peripheral interface / inter-IC sound (SPI/I2S)

RM0385

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).

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.

1112/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385
Note:

Serial peripheral interface / inter-IC sound (SPI/I2S)
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).

If the SPI is disabled during a communication the following sequence must be followed:

Note:

1.

Disable the SPI

2.

Clear the CRCEN bit

3.

Enable the CRCEN bit

4.

When the SPI interface is configured as a slave, the NSS internal signal needs to be kept
low during transaction of the CRC phase once the CRCNEXT signal is released. That is why
the CRC calculation can’t be used at NSS Pulse mode when NSS hardware mode should
be applied at slave normally (see more details at the product errata sheet).
At TI mode, despite the fact that clock phase and clock polarity setting is fixed and
independent on SPIx_CR1 register, the corresponding setting CPOL=0 CPHA=1 has to be
kept at the SPIx_CR1 register anyway if CRC is applied. In addition, the CRC calculation
has to be reset between sessions by SPI disable sequence with re-enable the CRCEN bit
described above at both master and slave side, else CRC calculation can be corrupted at
this specific mode.

1. MCK is mapped on the MISO pin.

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.

RM0385 Rev 8

1115/1724
1146

Serial peripheral interface / inter-IC sound (SPI/I2S)

RM0385

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.

32.7.2

I2S full duplex
Figure 374 shows how to perform full-duplex communications using two SPI/I2S instances.
In this case, the WS and CK IOs of both SPI/I2S must be connected together.
For the master full-duplex mode, one of the SPI/I2S block must be programmed in master
(I2SCFG = ‘10’ or ‘11’), and the other SPI/I2S block must be programmed in slave (I2SCFG
= ‘00’ or ‘01’). The MCK can be generated or not, depending on the application needs.
For the slave full-duplex mode, both SPI/I2S blocks must be programmed in slave. One of
them in the slave receiver (I2SCFG = ‘01’), and the other in the slave transmitter (I2SCFG =
‘00’). The master external device then provides the bit clock (CK) and the frame
synchronization (WS).
Note that the full-duplex mode can be used for all the supported standards: I2S Philips,
MSB-justified, LSB-justified and PCM.
For the full-duplex mode, both SPI/I2S instances must use the same standard, with the
same parameters: I2SMOD, I2SSTD, CKPOL, PCMSYNC, DATLEN and CHLEN must
contain the same value on both instances.

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).
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

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.

When 16-bit data frame extended to 32-bit channel frame is selected during the I2S
configuration phase, only one access to the SPIx_DR register is required. The 16 remaining
bits are forced by hardware to 0x0000 to extend the data to 32-bit format.
If the data to transmit or the received data are 0x76A3 (0x76A30000 extended to 32-bit), the

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).

MSB justified standard
For this standard, the WS signal is generated at the same time as the first data bit, which is
the MSBit.

In transmission mode, when a TXE event occurs, the application has to write the data to be
transmitted (in this case 0x76A3). The 0x000 field is transmitted first (extension on 32-bit).
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.

In slave mode, the way the frame synchronization is detected, depends on the value of
ASTRTEN bit.
If ASTRTEN = 0, when the audio interface is enabled (I2SE = 1), then the hardware waits for
the appropriate transition on the incoming WS signal, using the CK signal.

RM0385 Rev 8

1125/1724
1146

Serial peripheral interface / inter-IC sound (SPI/I2S)

RM0385

The appropriate transition is a falling edge on WS signal when I2S Philips Standard is used,
or a rising edge for other standards. The falling edge is detected by sampling first WS to 1
and then to 0, and vice-versa for the rising edge detection.
If ASTRTEN = 1, 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.

32.7.5

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 394 presents the communication clock architecture. The I2SxCLK clock is provided
by the reset and clock controller (RCC) of the product. The I2SxCLK clock can be
asynchronous with respect to the SPI/I2S APB clock.

Warning:

In addition, it is mandatory to keep the I2SxCLK frequency
higher or equal to the APB clock used by the SPI/I2S block. If
this condition is not respected, the SPI/I2S will not work
properly.

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:

For I2S modes:
When the master clock is generated (MCKOE in the SPIx_I2SPR register is set):

Fs =

F I2SxCLK
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------256 × ( ( 2 × I2SDIV ) + ODD )

When the master clock is disabled (MCKOE bit cleared):

Fs =

F I2SxCLK
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

32 × ( CHLEN + 1 ) × ( ( 2 × I2SDIV ) + ODD )

CHLEN = 0 when the channel frame is 16-bit wide and,
CHLEN = 1 when the channel frame is 32-bit wide.

For PCM modes:
When the master clock is generated (MCKOE in the SPIx_I2SPR register is set):

Fs =

F I2SxCLK
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------128 × ( ( 2 × I2SDIV ) + ODD )

When the master clock is disabled (MCKOE bit cleared):

Fs =

F I2SxCLK
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

16 × ( CHLEN + 1 ) × ( ( 2 × I2SDIV ) + ODD )

CHLEN = 0 when the channel frame is 16-bit wide and,
CHLEN = 1 when the channel frame is 32-bit wide.
Where FS is the audio sampling frequency, and FI2SxCLKis the frequency of the kernel clock
provided to the SPI/I2S block.

Serial peripheral interface / inter-IC sound (SPI/I2S)

1. This table gives only example values for different clock configurations. Other configurations allowing
optimum clock precision are possible.

32.7.6

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
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 32.7.5: 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
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 32.7.3: 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.

RM0385

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 32.7.6: 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 32.7.3: 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.

32.7.7

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

1130/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Serial peripheral interface / inter-IC sound (SPI/I2S)
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:
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.

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.
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 32.7.3: 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.

RM0385

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 32.7.7: 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 32.7.3: 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.
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.

32.7.8

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:

1132/1724

•

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.
RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Serial peripheral interface / inter-IC sound (SPI/I2S)

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
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).

32.7.9

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
RM0385 Rev 8

1133/1724
1146

Serial peripheral interface / inter-IC sound (SPI/I2S)

RM0385

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.

Re-enable the I2S interface again (Keeping ASTRTEN=0).

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.

32.7.10

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.

Bits 15:0 DR[15:0]: Data register
Data received or to be transmitted
The data register serves as an interface between the Rx and Tx FIFOs. When the data
register is read, RxFIFO is accessed while the write to data register accesses TxFIFO (See
Section 32.5.9: Data transmission and reception procedures).
Note: Data is always right-aligned. Unused bits are ignored when writing to the register, and
read as zero when the register is read. The Rx threshold setting must always
correspond with the read access currently used.

Serial audio interface (SAI)

33.1

Introduction
The SAI interface (Serial Audio Interface) offers a wide set of audio protocols due to its
flexibility and wide range of configurations. Many stereo or mono audio applications may be
targeted. I2S standards, LSB or MSB-justified, PCM/DSP, TDM, and AC’97 protocols may
be addressed for example. SPDIF output is offered when the audio block is configured as a
transmitter.
To bring this level of flexibility and reconfigurability, the SAI contains two independent audio
sub-blocks. Each block has it own clock generator and I/O line controller.
The SAI can work in master or slave configuration. The audio sub-blocks can be either
receiver or transmitter and can work synchronously or not (with respect to the other one).
The SAI can be connected with other SAIs to work synchronously.

The SAI is mainly composed of two audio sub-blocks with their own clock generator. Each
audio block integrates a 32-bit shift register controlled by their own functional state machine.
Data are stored or read from the dedicated FIFO. FIFO may be accessed by the CPU, or by
DMA in order to leave the CPU free during the communication. Each audio block is
independent. They can be synchronous with each other.
An I/O line controller manages a set of 4 dedicated pins (SD, SCK, FS, MCLK) for a given
audio block in the SAI. Some of these pins can be shared if the two sub-blocks are declared
as synchronous to leave some free to be used as general purpose I/Os. The MCLK pin can
be output, or not, depending on the application, the decoder requirement and whether the
audio block is configured as the master.
If one SAI is configured to operate synchronously with another one, even more I/Os can be
freed (except for pins SD_x).
The functional state machine can be configured to address a wide range of audio protocols.
Some registers are present to set-up the desired protocols (audio frame waveform
generator).

The audio sub-block can be a transmitter or receiver, in master or slave mode. The master
mode means the SCK_x bit clock and the frame synchronization signal are generated from
the SAI, whereas in slave mode, they come from another external or internal master. There
is a particular case for which the FS signal direction is not directly linked to the master or
slave mode definition. In AC’97 protocol, it will be an SAI output even if the SAI (link
controller) is set-up to consume the SCK clock (and so to be in Slave mode).
Note:

For ease of reading of this section, the notation SAI_x refers to SAI_A or SAI_B, where ‘x’
represents the SAI A or B sub-block.

Main SAI modes
Each audio sub-block of the SAI can be configured to be master or slave via MODE bits in
the SAI_xCR1 register of the selected audio block.

Master mode
In master mode, the SAI delivers the timing signals to the external connected device:
•

The bit clock and the frame synchronization are output on pin SCK_x and FS_x,
respectively.

•

If needed, the SAI can also generate a master clock on MCLK_x pin.

Both SCK_x, FS_x and MCLK_x are configured as outputs.

1150/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Serial audio interface (SAI)

Slave mode
The SAI expects to receive timing signals from an external device.
•

If the SAI sub-block is configured in asynchronous mode, then SCK_x and FS_x pins
are configured as inputs.

•

If the SAI sub-block is configured to operate synchronously with another SAI interface
or with the second audio sub-block, the corresponding SCK_x and FS_x pins are left
free to be used as general purpose I/Os.

In slave mode, MCLK_x pin is not used and can be assigned to another function.
It is recommended to enable the slave device before enabling the master.

Configuring and enabling SAI modes
Each audio sub-block can be independently defined as a transmitter or receiver through the
MODE bit in the SAI_xCR1 register of the corresponding audio block. As a result, SAI_SD_x
pin will be respectively configured as an output or an input.
Two master audio blocks in the same SAI can be configured with two different MCLK and
SCK clock frequencies. In this case they have to be configured in asynchronous mode.
Each of the audio blocks in the SAI are enabled by SAIEN bit in the SAI_xCR1 register. As
soon as this bit is active, the transmitter or the receiver is sensitive to the activity on the
clock line, data line and synchronization line in slave mode.
In master TX mode, enabling the audio block immediately generates the bit clock for the
external slaves even if there is no data in the FIFO, However FS signal generation is
conditioned by the presence of data in the FIFO. After the FIFO receives the first data to
transmit, this data is output to external slaves. If there is no data to transmit in the FIFO, 0
values are then sent in the audio frame with an underrun flag generation.
In slave mode, the audio frame starts when the audio block is enabled and when a start of
frame is detected.
In Slave TX mode, no underrun event is possible on the first frame after the audio block is
enabled, because the mandatory operating sequence in this case is:

33.3.4

1.

Write into the SAI_xDR (by software or by DMA).

2.

Wait until the FIFO threshold (FLH) flag is different from 0b000 (FIFO empty).

3.

Enable the audio block in slave transmitter mode.

SAI synchronization mode
There are two levels of synchronization, either at audio sub-block level or at SAI level.

Internal synchronization
An audio sub-block can be configured to operate synchronously with the second audio subblock in the same SAI. In this case, the bit clock and the frame synchronization signals are
shared to reduce the number of external pins used for the communication. The audio block
configured in synchronous mode sees its own SCK_x, FS_x, and MCLK_x pins released
back as GPIOs while the audio block configured in asynchronous mode is the one for which
FS_x and SCK_x ad MCLK_x I/O pins are relevant (if the audio block is considered as
master).

Typically, the audio block in synchronous mode can be used to configure the SAI in full
duplex mode. One of the two audio blocks can be configured as a master and the other as
slave, or both as slaves with one asynchronous block (corresponding SYNCEN[1:0] bits set
to 00 in SAI_xCR1) and one synchronous block (corresponding SYNCEN[1:0] bits set to 01
in the SAI_xCR1).
Note:

Due to internal resynchronization stages, PCLK APB frequency must be higher than twice
the bit rate clock frequency.

External synchronization
The audio sub-blocks can also be configured to operate synchronously with another SAI.
This can be done as follow:

Note:

1.

The SAI, which is configured as the source from which the other SAI is synchronized,
has to define which of its audio sub-block is supposed to provide the FS and SCK
signals to other SAI. This is done by programming SYNCOUT[1:0] bits.

2.

The SAI which shall receive the synchronization signals has to select which SAI will
provide the synchronization by setting the proper value on SYNCIN[1:0] bits. For each
of the two SAI audio sub-blocks, the user must then specify if it operates synchronously
with the other SAI via the SYNCEN bit.

SYNCIN[1:0] and SYNCOUT[1:0] bits are located into the SAI_GCR register, and SYNCEN
bits into SAI_xCR1 register.
If both audio sub-blocks in a given SAI need to be synchronized with another SAI, it is
possible to choose one of the following configurations:
•

Configure each audio block to be synchronous with another SAI block through the
SYNCEN[1:0] bits.

•

Configure one audio block to be synchronous with another SAI through the
SYNCEN[1:0] bits. The other audio block is then configured as synchronous with the
second SAI audio block through SYNCEN[1:0] bits.

The following table shows how to select the proper synchronization signal depending on the
SAI block used. For example SAI2 can select the synchronization from SAI1 by setting SAI2
SYNCIN to 0. If SAI1 wants to select the synchronization coming from SAI2, SAI1 SYNCIN
must be set to 1. Positions noted as ‘Res.’ shall not be used.

Audio data size
The audio frame can target different data sizes by configuring bit DS[2:0] in the SAI_xCR1
register. The data sizes may be 8, 10, 16, 20, 24 or 32 bits. During the transfer, either the
MSB or the LSB of the data are sent first, depending on the configuration of bit LSBFIRST in
the SAI_xCR1 register.

Frame synchronization
The FS signal acts as the Frame synchronization signal in the audio frame (start of frame).
The shape of this signal is completely configurable in order to target the different audio
protocols with their own specificities concerning this Frame synchronization behavior. This
reconfigurability is done using register SAI_xFRCR. Figure 396 illustrates this flexibility.

In AC’97 mode or in SPDIF mode (bit PRTCFG[1:0] = 10 or PRTCFG[1:0] = 01 in the
SAI_xCR1 register), the frame synchronization shape is forced to match the AC’97 protocol.
The SAI_xFRCR register value is ignored.
Each audio block is independent and consequently each one requires a specific
configuration.

Frame length
•

Master mode
The audio frame length can be configured to up to 256 bit clock cycles, by setting
FRL[7:0] field in the SAI_xFRCR register.
If the frame length is greater than the number of declared slots for the frame, the
remaining bits to transmit will be extended to 0 or the SD line will be released to HI-z
depending the state of bit TRIS in the SAI_xCR2 register (refer to FS signal role). In
reception mode, the remaining bit is ignored.
If bit NODIV is cleared, (FRL+1) must be equal to a power of 2, from 8 to 256, to ensure
that an audio frame contains an integer number of MCLK pulses per bit clock cycle.
If bit NODIV is set, the (FRL+1) field can take any value from 8 to 256. Refer to
Section 33.3.8: SAI clock generator”.

•

Slave mode
The audio frame length is mainly used to specify to the slave the number of bit clock
cycles per audio frame sent by the external master. It is used mainly to detect from the
master any anticipated or late occurrence of the Frame synchronization signal during
an on-going audio frame. In this case an error will be generated. For more details refer
to Section 33.3.13: Error flags.
In slave mode, there are no constraints on the FRL[7:0] configuration in the
SAI_xFRCR register.

The number of bits in the frame is equal to FRL[7:0] + 1.
The minimum number of bits to transfer in an audio frame is 8.

RM0385 Rev 8

Serial audio interface (SAI)

RM0385

Frame synchronization polarity
FSPOL bit in the SAI_xFRCR register sets the active polarity of the FS pin from which a
frame is started. The start of frame is edge sensitive.
In slave mode, the audio block waits for a valid frame to start transmitting or receiving. Start
of frame is synchronized to this signal. It is effective only if the start of frame is not detected
during an ongoing communication and assimilated to an anticipated start of frame (refer to
Section 33.3.13: Error flags).
In master mode, the frame synchronization is sent continuously each time an audio frame is
complete until the SAIEN bit in the SAI_xCR1 register is cleared. If no data are present in
the FIFO at the end of the previous audio frame, an underrun condition will be managed as
described in Section 33.3.13: Error flags), but the audio communication flow will not be
interrupted.

Frame synchronization active level length
The FSALL[6:0] bits of the SAI_xFRCR register allow configuring the length of the active
level of the Frame synchronization signal. The length can be set from 1 to 128 bit clock
cycles.
As an example, the active length can be half of the frame length in I2S, LSB or MSB-justified
modes, or one-bit wide for PCM/DSP or TDM mode.

Frame synchronization offset
Depending on the audio protocol targeted in the application, the Frame synchronization
signal can be asserted when transmitting the last bit or the first bit of the audio frame (this is
the case in I2S standard protocol and in MSB-justified protocol, respectively). FSOFF bit in
the SAI_xFRCR register allows to choose one of the two configurations.

FS signal role
The FS signal can have a different meaning depending on the FS function. FSDEF bit in the
SAI_xFRCR register selects which meaning it will have:
•

0: start of frame, like for instance the PCM/DSP, TDM, AC’97, audio protocols,

•

1: start of frame and channel side identification within the audio frame like for the I2S,
the MSB or LSB-justified protocols.

When the FS signal is considered as a start of frame and channel side identification within
the frame, the number of declared slots must be considered to be half the number for the left
channel and half the number for the right channel. If the number of bit clock cycles on half
audio frame is greater than the number of slots dedicated to a channel side, and TRIS = 0, 0
is sent for transmission for the remaining bit clock cycles in the SAI_xCR2 register.
Otherwise if TRIS = 1, the SD line is released to HI-Z. In reception mode, the remaining bit
clock cycles are not considered until the channel side changes.

1. The frame length should be even.

If FSDEF bit in SAI_xFRCR is kept clear, so FS signal is equivalent to a start of frame, and if
the number of slots defined in NBSLOT[3:0] in SAI_xSLOTR multiplied by the number of bits
by slot configured in SLOTSZ[1:0] in SAI_xSLOTR is less than the frame size (bit FRL[7:0]
in the SAI_xFRCR register), then:
•

if TRIS = 0 in the SAI_xCR2 register, the remaining bit after the last slot will be forced to
0 until the end of frame in case of transmitter,

•

if TRIS = 1, the line will be released to HI-Z during the transfer of these remaining bits.
In reception mode, these bits are discarded.

The FS signal is not used when the audio block in transmitter mode is configured to get the
SPDIF output on the SD line. The corresponding FS I/O will be released and left free for
other purposes.

33.3.7

Slot configuration
The slot is the basic element in the audio frame. The number of slots in the audio frame is
equal to NBSLOT[3:0] + 1.
The maximum number of slots per audio frame is fixed at 16.
For AC’97 protocol or SPDIF (when bit PRTCFG[1:0] = 10 or PRTCFG[1:0] = 01), the
number of slots is automatically set to target the protocol specification, and the value of
NBSLOT[3:0] is ignored.
Each slot can be defined as a valid slot, or not, by setting SLOTEN[15:0] bits of the
SAI_xSLOTR register.
When a invalid slot is transferred, the SD data line is either forced to 0 or released to HI-z
depending on TRIS bit configuration (refer to Output data line management on an inactive
slot) in transmitter mode. In receiver mode, the received value from the end of this slot is
ignored. Consequently, there will be no FIFO access and so no request to read or write the
FIFO linked to this inactive slot status.
The slot size is also configurable as shown in Figure 399. The size of the slots is selected by
setting SLOTSZ[1:0] bits in the SAI_xSLOTR register. The size is applied identically for
each slot in an audio frame.

It is possible to choose the position of the first data bit to transfer within the slots. This offset
is configured by FBOFF[4:0] bits in the SAI_xSLOTR register. 0 values will be injected in
transmitter mode from the beginning of the slot until this offset position is reached. In
reception, the bit in the offset phase is ignored. This feature targets the LSB justified

SAI clock generator
Each audio block has its own clock generator that makes these two blocks completely
independent. There is no difference in terms of functionality between these two clock
generators.
When the audio block is configured as Master, the clock generator provides the
communication clock (the bit clock) and the master clock for external decoders.
When the audio block is defined as slave, the clock generator is OFF.
Figure 401 illustrates the architecture of the audio block clock generator.

Note:

If NODIV is set to 1, the MCLK_x signal will be set at 0 level if this pin is configured as the
SAI pin in GPIO peripherals.
The clock source for the clock generator comes from the product clock controller. The
sai_x_ker_ck clock is equivalent to the master clock which can be divided for the external
decoders using bit MCKDIV[3:0]:
MCLK_x = sai_x_ker_ck / (MCKDIV[3:0] * 2), if MCKDIV[3:0] is not equal to 0000.
MCLK_x = sai_x_ker_ck, if MCKDIV[3:0] is equal to 0000.
MCLK_x signal is used only in TDM.
The division must be even in order to keep 50% on the Duty cycle on the MCLK output and
on the SCK_x clock. If bit MCKDIV[3:0] = 0000, division by one is applied to obtain MCLK_x
equal to sai_x_ker_ck.
In the SAI, the single ratio MCLK/FS = 256 is considered. Mostly, three frequency ranges
will be encountered as illustrated in Table 210.

1. This may happen when the product clock controller selects an external clock source, instead of PLL clock.

The master clock can be generated externally on an I/O pad for external decoders if the
corresponding audio block is declared as master with bit NODIV = 0 in the SAI_xCR1
register. In slave, the value set in this last bit is ignored since the clock generator is OFF,
and the MCLK_x I/O pin is released for use as a general purpose I/O.
The bit clock is derived from the master clock. The bit clock divider sets the divider factor
between the bit clock (SCK_x) and the master clock (MCLK_x) following the formula:
SCK_x = MCLK x (FRL[7:0] +1) / 256
where:
256 is the fixed ratio between MCLK and the audio frequency sampling.
FRL[7:0] is the number of bit clock cycles- 1 in the audio frame, configured in the
SAI_xFRCR register.
In master mode it is mandatory that (FRL[7:0] +1) is equal to a number with a power of 2
(refer to Section 33.3.6: Frame synchronization) to obtain an even integer number of
MCLK_x pulses by bit clock cycle. The 50% duty cycle is guaranteed on the bit clock
(SCK_x).
The sai_x_ker_ck clock can also be equal to the bit clock frequency. In this case, NODIV bit
in the SAI_xCR1 register should be set and the value inside the MCKDIV divider and the bit
clock divider will be ignored. In this case, the number of bits per frame is fully configurable
without the need to be equal to a power of two.
The bit clock strobing edge on SCK can be configured by bit CKSTR in the SAI_xCR1
register.
Refer to Section 33.3.11: SPDIF output for details on clock generator programming in
SPDIF mode.

Internal FIFOs
Each audio block in the SAI has its own FIFO. Depending if the block is defined to be a
transmitter or a receiver, the FIFO can be written or read, respectively. There is therefore
only one FIFO request linked to FREQ bit in the SAI_xSR register.
An interrupt is generated if FREQIE bit is enabled in the SAI_xIM register. This depends on:
•

FIFO threshold setting (FLVL bits in SAI_xCR2)

•

Communication direction (transmitter or receiver). Refer to Interrupt generation in
transmitter mode and Interrupt generation in reception mode.

Interrupt generation in transmitter mode
The interrupt generation depends on the FIFO configuration in transmitter mode:
• When the FIFO threshold bits in SAI_xCR2 register are configured as FIFO empty
(FTH[2:0] set to 0b000), an interrupt is generated (FREQ bit set by hardware to 1 in
SAI_xSR register) if no data are available in SAI_xDR register (FLVL[2:0] bits in SAI_xSR
is less than 001b). This Interrupt (FREQ bit in SAI_xSR register) is cleared by hardware
when the FIFO is no more empty (FLVL[2:0] bits in SAI_xSR are different from 0b000) i.e
one or more data are stored in the FIFO.
• When the FIFO threshold bits in SAI_xCR2 register are configured as FIFO quarter full
(FTH[2:0] set to 001b), an interrupt is generated (FREQ bit set by hardware to 1 in
SAI_xSR register) if less than a quarter of the FIFO contains data (FLVL[2:0] bits in
SAI_xSR are less than 0b010). This Interrupt (FREQ bit in SAI_xSR register) is cleared
by hardware when at least a quarter of the FIFO contains data (FLVL[2:0] bits in SAI_xSR
are higher or equal to 0b010).
• When the FIFO threshold bits in SAI_xCR2 register are configured as FIFO half full
(FTH[2:0] set to 0b010), an interrupt is generated (FREQ bit set by hardware to 1 in
SAI_xSR register) if less than half of the FIFO contains data (FLVL[2:0] bits in SAI_xSR
are less than 011b). This Interrupt (FREQ bit in SAI_xSR register) is cleared by hardware
when at least half of the FIFO contains data (FLVL[2:0] bits in SAI_xSR are higher or
equal to 011b).
• When the FIFO threshold bits in SAI_xCR2 register are configured as FIFO three quarter
(FTH[2:0] set to 011b), an interrupt is generated (FREQ bit is set by hardware to 1 in
SAI_xSR register) if less than three quarters of the FIFO contain data (FLVL[2:0] bits in
SAI_xSR are less than 0b100). This Interrupt (FREQ bit in SAI_xSR register) is cleared
by hardware when at least three quarters of the FIFO contain data (FLVL[2:0] bits in
SAI_xSR are higher or equal to 0b100).
• When the FIFO threshold bits in SAI_xCR2 register are configured as FIFO full (FTH[2:0]
set to 0b100), an interrupt is generated (FREQ bit is set by hardware to 1 in SAI_xSR
register) if the FIFO is not full (FLVL[2:0] bits in SAI_xSR is less than 101b). This Interrupt
(FREQ bit in SAI_xSR register) is cleared by hardware when the FIFO is full (FLVL[2:0]
bits in SAI_xSR is equal to 101b value).

Interrupt generation in reception mode
The interrupt generation depends on the FIFO configuration in reception mode:
• When the FIFO threshold bits in SAI_xCR2 register are configured as FIFO empty
(FTH[2:0] set to 0b000), an interrupt is generated (FREQ bit is set by hardware to 1 in
SAI_xSR register) if at least one data is available in SAI_xDR register(FLVL[2:0] bits in
SAI_xSR is higher or equal to 001b). This Interrupt (FREQ bit in SAI_xSR register) is

cleared by hardware when the FIFO becomes empty (FLVL[2:0] bits in SAI_xSR is equal
to 0b000) i.e no data are stored in FIFO.
• When the FIFO threshold bits in SAI_xCR2 register are configured as FIFO quarter fully
(FTH[2:0] set to 001b), an interrupt is generated (FREQ bit is set by hardware to 1 in
SAI_xSR register) if at least one quarter of the FIFO data locations are available
(FLVL[2:0] bits in SAI_xSR is higher or equal to 0b010). This Interrupt (FREQ bit in
SAI_xSR register) is cleared by hardware when less than a quarter of the FIFO data
locations become available (FLVL[2:0] bits in SAI_xSR is less than 0b010).
• When the FIFO threshold bits in SAI_xCR2 register are configured as FIFO half fully
(FTH[2:0] set to 0b010 value), an interrupt is generated (FREQ bit is set by hardware to
1 in SAI_xSR register) if at least half of the FIFO data locations are available (FLVL[2:0]
bits in SAI_xSR is higher or equal to 011b). This Interrupt (FREQ bit in SAI_xSR register)
is cleared by hardware when less than half of the FIFO data locations become available
(FLVL[2:0] bits in SAI_xSR is less than 011b).
• When the FIFO threshold bits in SAI_xCR2 register are configured as FIFO three quarter
full(FTH[2:0] set to 011b value), an interrupt is generated (FREQ bit is set by hardware to
1 in SAI_xSR register) if at least three quarters of the FIFO data locations are available
(FLVL[2:0] bits in SAI_xSR is higher or equal to 0b100). This Interrupt (FREQ bit in
SAI_xSR register) is cleared by hardware when the FIFO has less than three quarters of
the FIFO data locations avalable(FLVL[2:0] bits in SAI_xSR is less than 0b100).
• When the FIFO threshold bits in SAI_xCR2 register are configured as FIFO full(FTH[2:0]
set to 0b100), an interrupt is generated (FREQ bit is set by hardware to 1 in SAI_xSR
register) if the FIFO is full (FLVL[2:0] bits in SAI_xSR is equal to 101b). This Interrupt
(FREQ bit in SAI_xSR register) is cleared by hardware when the FIFO is not full
(FLVL[2:0] bits in SAI_xSR is less than 101b).
Like interrupt generation, the SAI can use the DMA if DMAEN bit in the SAI_xCR1 register is
set. The FREQ bit assertion mechanism is the same as the interruption generation
mechanism described above for FREQIE.
Each FIFO is an 8-word FIFO. Each read or write operation from/to the FIFO targets one
word FIFO location whatever the access size. Each FIFO word contains one audio slot.
FIFO pointers are incremented by one word after each access to the SAI_xDR register.
Data should be right aligned when it is written in the SAI_xDR.
Data received will be right aligned in the SAI_xDR.
The FIFO pointers can be reinitialized when the SAI is disabled by setting bit FFLUSH in the
SAI_xCR2 register. If FFLUSH is set when the SAI is enabled the data present in the FIFO
will be lost automatically.

AC’97 link controller
The SAI is able to work as an AC’97 link controller. In this protocol:
•

The slot number and the slot size are fixed.

•

The frame synchronization signal is perfectly defined and has a fixed shape.

To select this protocol, set PRTCFG[1:0] bits in the SAI_xCR1 register to 10. When AC’97
mode is selected, only data sizes of 16 or 20 bits can be used, otherwise the SAI behavior is
not guaranteed.
•

NBSLOT[3:0] and SLOTSZ[1:0] bits are consequently ignored.

•

The number of slots is fixed to 13 slots. The first one is 16-bit wide and all the others
are 20-bit wide (data slots).

•

FBOFF[4:0] bits in the SAI_xSLOTR register are ignored.

•

The SAI_xFRCR register is ignored.

•

The MCLK is not used.

The FS signal from the block defined as asynchronous is configured automatically as an
output, since the AC’97 controller link drives the FS signal whatever the master or slave
configuration.

In AC’97 protocol, bit 2 of the tag is reserved (always 0), so bit 2 of the TAG is forced to 0
level whatever the value written in the SAI FIFO.
For more details about tag representation, refer to the AC’97 protocol standard.
One SAI can be used to target an AC’97 point-to-point communication.
Using two SAIs (for devices featuring two embedded SAIs) allows controlling three external
AC’97 decoders as illustrated in Figure 403.
In SAI1, the audio block A must be declared as asynchronous master transmitter whereas
the audio block B is defined to be slave receiver and internally synchronous to the audio
block A.
The SAI2 is configured for audio block A and B both synchronous with the external SAI1 in
slave receiver mode.

In receiver mode, the SAI acting as an AC’97 link controller requires no FIFO request and so
no data storage in the FIFO when the Codec ready bit in the slot 0 is decoded low. If bit
CNRDYIE is enabled in the SAI_xIM register, flag CNRDY will be set in the SAI_xSR
register and an interrupt is generated. This flag is dedicated to the AC’97 protocol.

Clock generator programming in AC’97 mode
In AC’97 mode, the frame length is fixed at 256 bits, and its frequency shall be set to
48 kHz. The formulas given in Section 33.3.8: SAI clock generator shall be used with FRL =
255, in order to generate the proper frame rate (FFS_x).

SPDIF output
The SPDIF interface is available in transmitter mode only. It supports the audio IEC60958.
To select SPDIF mode, set PRTCFG[1:0] bit to 01 in the SAI_xCR1 register.
For SPDIF protocol:
•

Only SD data line is enabled.

•

FS, SCK, MCLK I/Os pins are left free.

•

MODE[1] bit is forced to 0 to select the master mode in order to enable the clock
generator of the SAI and manage the data rate on the SD line.

•

The data size is forced to 24 bits. The value set in DS[2:0] bits in the SAI_xCR1 register
is ignored.

•

The clock generator must be configured to define the symbol-rate, knowing that the bit
clock should be twice the symbol-rate. The data is coded in Manchester protocol.

•

The SAI_xFRCR and SAI_xSLOTR registers are ignored. The SAI is configured
internally to match the SPDIF protocol requirements as shown in Figure 404.

A SPDIF block contains 192 frames. Each frame is composed of two 32-bit sub-frames,
generally one for the left channel and one for the right channel. Each sub-frame is
composed of a SOPD pattern (4-bit) to specify if the sub-frame is the start of a block (and so
is identifying a channel A) or if it is identifying a channel A somewhere in the block, or if it is
referring to channel B (see Table 211). The next 28 bits of channel information are
composed of 24 bits data + 4 status bits.

The underrun is the only error flag available in the SAI_xSR register for SPDIF mode since
the SAI can only operate in transmitter mode. As a result, the following sequence should be

executed to recover from an underrun error detected via the underrun interrupt or the
underrun status bit:
1.

Disable the DMA stream (via the DMA peripheral) if the DMA is used.

2.

Disable the SAI and check that the peripheral is physically disabled by polling the
SAIEN bit in SAI_xCR1 register.

3.

Clear the COVRUNDR flag in the SAI_xCLRFR register.

4.

Flush the FIFO by setting the FFLUSH bit in SAI_xCR2.
The software needs to point to the address of the future data corresponding to a start of
new block (data for preamble B). If the DMA is used, the DMA source base address
pointer should be updated accordingly.

5.

Enable again the DMA stream (DMA peripheral) if the DMA used to manage data
transfers according to the new source base address.

6.

Enable again the SAI by setting SAIEN bit in SAI_xCR1 register.

Clock generator programming in SPDIF generator mode
For the SPDIF generator, the SAI shall provide a bit clock twice faster as the symbol-rate.
The table hereafter shows usual examples of symbol rates with respect to the audio
sampling rate.

Serial audio interface (SAI)

Specific features
The SAI interface embeds specific features which can be useful depending on the audio
protocol selected. These functions are accessible through specific bits of the SAI_xCR2
register.

Mute mode
The mute mode can be used when the audio sub-block is a transmitter or a receiver.
Audio sub-block in transmission mode
In transmitter mode, the mute mode can be selected at anytime. The mute mode is active
for entire audio frames. The MUTE bit in the SAI_xCR2 register enables the mute mode
when it is set during an ongoing frame.
The mute mode bit is strobed only at the end of the frame. If it is set at this time, the mute
mode is active at the beginning of the new audio frame and for a complete frame, until the
next end of frame. The bit is then strobed to determine if the next frame will still be a mute
frame.
If the number of slots set through NBSLOT[3:0] bits in the SAI_xSLOTR register is lower
than or equal to 2, it is possible to specify if the value sent in mute mode is 0 or if it is the last
value of each slot. The selection is done via MUTEVAL bit in the SAI_xCR2 register.
If the number of slots set in NBSLOT[3:0] bits in the SAI_xSLOTR register is greater than 2,
MUTEVAL bit in the SAI_xCR2 is meaningless as 0 values are sent on each bit on each
slot.
The FIFO pointers are still incremented in mute mode. This means that data present in the
FIFO and for which the mute mode is requested are discarded.
Audio sub-block in reception mode
In reception mode, it is possible to detect a mute mode sent from the external transmitter
when all the declared and valid slots of the audio frame receive 0 for a given consecutive
number of audio frames (MUTECNT[5:0] bits in the SAI_xCR2 register).
When the number of MUTE frames is detected, the MUTEDET flag in the SAI_xSR register
is set and an interrupt can be generated if MUTEDETIE bit is set in SAI_xCR2.
The mute frame counter is cleared when the audio sub-block is disabled or when a valid slot
receives at least one data in an audio frame. The interrupt is generated just once, when the
counter reaches the value specified in MUTECNT[5:0] bits. The interrupt event is then
reinitialized when the counter is cleared.
Note:

The mute mode is not available for SPDIF audio blocks.

Mono/stereo mode
In transmitter mode, the mono mode can be addressed, without any data preprocessing in
memory, assuming the number of slots is equal to 2 (NBSLOT[3:0] = 0001 in SAI_xSLOTR).
In this case, the access time to and from the FIFO will be reduced by 2 since the data for
slot 0 is duplicated into data slot 1.
To enable the mono mode,
1.

Set MONO bit to 1 in the SAI_xCR1 register.

2.

Set NBSLOT to 1 and SLOTEN to 3 in SAI_xSLOTR.

RM0385 Rev 8

1167/1724
1200

Serial audio interface (SAI)

RM0385

In reception mode, the MONO bit can be set and is meaningful only if the number of slots is
equal to 2 as in transmitter mode. When it is set, only slot 0 data will be stored in the FIFO.
The data belonging to slot 1 will be discarded since, in this case, it is supposed to be the
same as the previous slot. If the data flow in reception mode is a real stereo audio flow with
a distinct and different left and right data, the MONO bit is meaningless. The conversion
from the output stereo file to the equivalent mono file is done by software.

Companding mode
Telecommunication applications can require to process the data to be transmitted or
received using a data companding algorithm.
Depending on the COMP[1:0] bits in the SAI_xCR2 register (used only when TDM mode is
selected), the application software can choose to process or not the data before sending it
on SD serial output line (compression) or to expand the data after the reception on SD serial
input line (expansion) as illustrated in Figure 406. The two companding modes supported
are the µ-Law and the A-Law log which are a part of the CCITT G.711 recommendation.
The companding standard used in the United States and Japan is the µ-Law. It supports 14
bits of dynamic range (COMP[1:0] = 10 in the SAI_xCR2 register).
The European companding standard is A-Law and supports 13 bits of dynamic range
(COMP[1:0] = 11 in the SAI_xCR2 register).
Both µ-Law or A-Law companding standard can be computed based on 1’s complement or
2’s complement representation depending on the CPL bit setting in the SAI_xCR2 register.
In µ-Law and A-Law standards, data are coded as 8 bits with MSB alignment. Companded
data are always 8-bit wide. For this reason, DS[2:0] bits in the SAI_xCR1 register will be
forced to 010 when the SAI audio block is enabled (SAIEN bit = 1 in the SAI_xCR1 register)
and when one of these two companding modes selected through the COMP[1:0] bits.
If no companding processing is required, COMP[1:0] bits should be kept clear.

Serial audio interface (SAI)
Expansion and compression mode are automatically selected through the SAI_xCR2:
•

If the SAI audio block is configured to be a transmitter, and if the COMP[1] bit is set in
the SAI_xCR2 register, the compression mode will be applied.

•

If the SAI audio block is declared as a receiver, the expansion algorithm will be applied.

Output data line management on an inactive slot
In transmitter mode, it is possible to choose the behavior of the SD line output when an
inactive slot is sent on the data line (via TRIS bit).
•

Either the SAI forces 0 on the SD output line when an inactive slot is transmitted, or

•

The line is released in HI-z state at the end of the last bit of data transferred, to release
the line for other transmitters connected to this node.

It is important to note that the two transmitters cannot attempt to drive the same SD output
pin simultaneously, which could result in a short circuit. To ensure a gap between
transmissions, if the data is lower than 32-bit, the data can be extended to 32-bit by setting
bit SLOTSZ[1:0] = 10 in the SAI_xSLOTR register. The SD output pin will then be tri-stated
at the end of the LSB of the active slot (during the padding to 0 phase to extend the data to
32-bit) if the following slot is declared inactive.
In addition, if the number of slots multiplied by the slot size is lower than the frame length,
the SD output line will be tri-stated when the padding to 0 is done to complete the audio
frame.
Figure 407 illustrates these behaviors.

When the selected audio protocol uses the FS signal as a start of frame and a channel side
identification (bit FSDEF = 1 in the SAI_xFRCR register), the tristate mode is managed
according to Figure 408 (where bit TRIS in the SAI_xCR1 register = 1, and FSDEF=1, and
half frame length is higher than number of slots/2, and NBSLOT=6).

33.3.13

Error flags
The SAI implements the following error flags:
•

FIFO overrun/underrun

•

Anticipated frame synchronization detection

•

Late frame synchronization detection

•

Codec not ready (AC’97 exclusively)

•

Wrong clock configuration in master mode.

FIFO overrun/underrun (OVRUDR)
The FIFO overrun/underrun bit is called OVRUDR in the SAI_xSR register.
The overrun or underrun errors share the same bit since an audio block can be either
receiver or transmitter and each audio block in a given SAI has its own SAI_xSR register.
Overrun
When the audio block is configured as receiver, an overrun condition may appear if data are
received in an audio frame when the FIFO is full and not able to store the received data. In
this case, the received data are lost, the flag OVRUDR in the SAI_xSR register is set and an
interrupt is generated if OVRUDRIE bit is set in the SAI_xIM register. The slot number, from
which the overrun occurs, is stored internally. No more data will be stored into the FIFO until
it becomes free to store new data. When the FIFO has at least one data free, the SAI audio
block receiver will store new data (from new audio frame) from the slot number which was
stored internally when the overrun condition was detected. This avoids data slot dealignment in the destination memory (refer to Figure 409).

Underrun
An underrun may occur when the audio block in the SAI is a transmitter and the FIFO is
empty when data need to be transmitted. If an underrun is detected, the slot number for
which the event occurs is stored and MUTE value (00) is sent until the FIFO is ready to
transmit the data corresponding to the slot for which the underrun was detected (refer to
Figure 410). This avoids desynchronization between the memory pointer and the slot in the
audio frame.
The underrun event sets the OVRUDR flag in the SAI_xSR register and an interrupt is
generated if the OVRUDRIE bit is set in the SAI_xIM register. To clear this flag, set
COVRUDR bit in the SAI_xCLRFR register.
The underrun event can occur when the audio sub-block is configured as master or slave.

Serial audio interface (SAI)

Anticipated frame synchronization detection (AFSDET)
The AFSDET flag is used only in slave mode. It is never asserted in master mode. It
indicates that a frame synchronization (FS) has been detected earlier than expected since
the frame length, the frame polarity, the frame offset are defined and known.
Anticipated frame detection sets the AFSDET flag in the SAI_xSR register.
This detection has no effect on the current audio frame which is not sensitive to the
anticipated FS. This means that “parasitic” events on signal FS are flagged without any
perturbation of the current audio frame.
An interrupt is generated if the AFSDETIE bit is set in the SAI_xIM register. To clear the
AFSDET flag, CAFSDET bit must be set in the SAI_xCLRFR register.
To resynchronize with the master after an anticipated frame detection error, four steps are
required:

Note:

1.

Disable the SAI block by resetting SAIEN bit in SAI_xCR1 register. To make sure the
SAI is disabled, read back the SAIEN bit and check it is set to 0.

2.

Flush the FIFO via FFLUS bit in SAI_xCR2 register.

3.

Enable again the SAI peripheral (SAIEN bit set to 1).

4.

The SAI block will wait for the assertion on FS to restart the synchronization with
master.

The AFSDET flag is not asserted in AC’97 mode since the SAI audio block acts as a link
controller and generates the FS signal even when declared as slave.It has no meaning in
SPDIF mode since the FS signal is not used.

Late frame synchronization detection
The LFSDET flag in the SAI_xSR register can be set only when the SAI audio block
operates as a slave. The frame length, the frame polarity and the frame offset configuration
are known in register SAI_xFRCR.
If the external master does not send the FS signal at the expecting time thus generating the
signal too late, the LFSDET flag is set and an interrupt is generated if LFSDETIE bit is set in
the SAI_xIM register.
The LFSDET flag is cleared when CLFSDET bit is set in the SAI_xCLRFR register.
The late frame synchronization detection flag is set when the corresponding error is
detected. The SAI needs to be resynchronized with the master (see sequence described in
Anticipated frame synchronization detection (AFSDET)).
In a noisy environment, glitches on the SCK clock may be wrongly detected by the audio
block state machine and shift the SAI data at a wrong frame position. This event can be
detected by the SAI and reported as a late frame synchronization detection error.
There is no corruption if the external master is not managing the audio data frame transfer in
continuous mode, which should not be the case in most applications. In this case, the
LFSDET flag will be set.
Note:

The LFSDET flag is not asserted in AC’97 mode since the SAI audio block acts as a link
controller and generates the FS signal even when declared as slave.It has no meaning in
SPDIF mode since the signal FS is not used by the protocol.

Codec not ready (CNRDY AC’97)
The CNRDY flag in the SAI_xSR register is relevant only if the SAI audio block is configured
to operate in AC’97 mode (PRTCFG[1:0] = 10 in the SAI_xCR1 register). If CNRDYIE bit is
set in the SAI_xIM register, an interrupt is generated when the CNRDY flag is set.
CNRDY is asserted when the Codec is not ready to communicate during the reception of
the TAG 0 (slot0) of the AC’97 audio frame. In this case, no data will be automatically stored
into the FIFO since the Codec is not ready, until the TAG 0 indicates that the Codec is ready.
All the active slots defined in the SAI_xSLOTR register will be captured when the Codec is
ready.
To clear CNRDY flag, CCNRDY bit must be set in the SAI_xCLRFR register.

Wrong clock configuration in master mode (with NODIV = 0)
When the audio block operates as a master (MODE[1] = 0) and NODIV bit is equal to 0, the
WCKCFG flag is set as soon as the SAI is enabled if the following conditions are met:
•

(FRL+1) is not a power of 2, and

•

(FRL+1) is not between 8 and 256.

MODE, NODIV, and SAIEN bits belong to SAI_xCR1 register and FRL to SAI_xFRCR
register.
If WCKCFGIE bit is set, an interrupt is generated when WCKCFG flag is set in the SAI_xSR
register. To clear this flag, set CWCKCFG bit in the SAI_xCLRFR register.
When WCKCFG bit is set, the audio block is automatically disabled, thus performing a
hardware clear of SAIEN bit.

33.3.14

Disabling the SAI
The SAI audio block can be disabled at any moment by clearing SAIEN bit in the SAI_xCR1
register. All the already started frames are automatically completed before the SAI is stops
working. SAIEN bit remains High until the SAI is completely switched-off at the end of the
current audio frame transfer.
If an audio block in the SAI operates synchronously with the other one, the one which is the
master must be disabled first.

33.3.15

SAI DMA interface
To free the CPU and to optimize bus bandwidth, each SAI audio block has an independent
DMA interface to read/write from/to the SAI_xDR register (to access the internal FIFO).
There is one DMA channel per audio sub-block supporting basic DMA request/acknowledge
protocol.
To configure the audio sub-block for DMA transfer, set DMAEN bit in the SAI_xCR1 register.
The DMA request is managed directly by the FIFO controller depending on the FIFO
threshold level (for more details refer to Section 33.3.9: Internal FIFOs). DMA transfer
direction is linked to the SAI audio sub-block configuration:

1174/1724

•

If the audio block operates as a transmitter, the audio block FIFO controller outputs a
DMA request to load the FIFO with data written in the SAI_xDR register.

•

If the audio block is operates as a receiver, the DMA request is related to read
operations from the SAI_xDR register.

reception. When the number of mute frames is equal to this value, the flag MUTEDET will be set and
an interrupt will be generated if bit MUTEDETIE is set.
Refer to Section : Mute mode for more details.
Bit 6 MUTEVAL: Mute value.
This bit is set and cleared by software.It must be written before enabling the audio block: SAIEN.
This bit is meaningful only when the audio block operates as a transmitter, the number of slots is
lower or equal to 2 and the MUTE bit is set.
If more slots are declared, the bit value sent during the transmission in mute mode is equal to 0,
whatever the value of MUTEVAL.
if the number of slot is lower or equal to 2 and MUTEVAL = 1, the MUTE value transmitted for each
slot is the one sent during the previous frame.
Refer to Section : Mute mode for more details.
0: Bit value 0 is sent during the mute mode.
1: Last values are sent during the mute mode.
Note: This bit is meaningless and should not be used for SPDIF audio blocks.

Bits 31:19 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bit 18 FSOFF: Frame synchronization offset.
This bit is set and cleared by software. It is meaningless and is not used in AC’97 or SPDIF audio
block configuration. This bit must be configured when the audio block is disabled.
0: FS is asserted on the first bit of the slot 0.
1: FS is asserted one bit before the first bit of the slot 0.
Bit 17 FSPOL: Frame synchronization polarity.
This bit is set and cleared by software. It is used to configure the level of the start of frame on the FS
signal. It is meaningless and is not used in AC’97 or SPDIF audio block configuration.
This bit must be configured when the audio block is disabled.
0: FS is active low (falling edge)
1: FS is active high (rising edge)
Bit 16 FSDEF: Frame synchronization definition.
This bit is set and cleared by software.
0: FS signal is a start frame signal
1: FS signal is a start of frame signal + channel side identification
When the bit is set, the number of slots defined in the SAI_xSLOTR register has to be even. It
means that half of this number of slots will be dedicated to the left channel and the other slots for the
right channel (e.g: this bit has to be set for I2S or MSB/LSB-justified protocols...).
This bit is meaningless and is not used in AC’97 or SPDIF audio block configuration. It must be
configured when the audio block is disabled.
Bit 15 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bits 14:8 FSALL[6:0]: Frame synchronization active level length.
These bits are set and cleared by software. They specify the length in number of bit clock
(SCK) + 1 (FSALL[6:0] + 1) of the active level of the FS signal in the audio frame
These bits are meaningless and are not used in AC’97 or SPDIF audio block configuration.
They must be configured when the audio block is disabled.
Bits 7:0 FRL[7:0]: Frame length.
These bits are set and cleared by software. They define the audio frame length expressed in number
of SCK clock cycles: the number of bits in the frame is equal to FRL[7:0] + 1.
The minimum number of bits to transfer in an audio frame must be equal to 8, otherwise the audio
block will behaves in an unexpected way. This is the case when the data size is 8 bits and only one
slot 0 is defined in NBSLOT[4:0] of SAI_xSLOTR register (NBSLOT[3:0] = 0000).
In master mode, if the master clock (available on MCLK_x pin) is used, the frame length should be
aligned with a number equal to a power of 2, ranging from 8 to 256. When the master clock is not
used (NODIV = 1), it is recommended to program the frame length to an value ranging from 8 to 256.

Bit 4 CNRDYIE: Codec not ready interrupt enable (AC’97).
This bit is set and cleared by software.
0: Interrupt is disabled
1: Interrupt is enabled
When the interrupt is enabled, the audio block detects in the slot 0 (tag0) of the AC’97 frame if the
Codec connected to this line is ready or not. If it is not ready, the CNRDY flag in the SAI_xSR
register is set and an interruption i generated.
This bit has a meaning only if the AC’97 mode is selected through PRTCFG[1:0] bits and the audio
block is operates as a receiver.
Bit 3 FREQIE: FIFO request interrupt enable.
This bit is set and cleared by software.
0: Interrupt is disabled
1: Interrupt is enabled
When this bit is set, an interrupt is generated if the FREQ bit in the SAI_xSR register is set.
Since the audio block defaults to operate as a transmitter after reset, the MODE bit must be
configured before setting FREQIE to avoid a parasitic interruption in receiver mode,
Bit 2 WCKCFGIE: Wrong clock configuration interrupt enable.
This bit is set and cleared by software.
0: Interrupt is disabled
1: Interrupt is enabled
This bit is taken into account only if the audio block is configured as a master (MODE[1] = 0) and
NODIV = 0.
It generates an interrupt if the WCKCFG flag in the SAI_xSR register is set.
Note: This bit is used only in TDM mode and is meaningless in other modes.
Bit 1 MUTEDETIE: Mute detection interrupt enable.
This bit is set and cleared by software.
0: Interrupt is disabled
1: Interrupt is enabled
When this bit is set, an interrupt is generated if the MUTEDET bit in the SAI_xSR register is set.
This bit has a meaning only if the audio block is configured in receiver mode.
Bit 0 OVRUDRIE: Overrun/underrun interrupt enable.
This bit is set and cleared by software.
0: Interrupt is disabled
1: Interrupt is enabled
When this bit is set, an interrupt is generated if the OVRUDR bit in the SAI_xSR register is set.

SPDIFRX functional description
The SPDIFRX peripheral, is designed to receive an S/PDIF flow compliant with IEC-60958
and IEC-61937. These standards support simple stereo streams up to high sample rate,
and compressed multi-channel surround sound, such as those defined by Dolby or DTS.
The receiver provides all the necessary features to detect the symbol rate, and decode the
incoming data. It is possible to use a dedicated path for the user and channel information in
order to ease the interface handling. Figure 411 shows a simplified block diagram.
The SPDIFRX_DC block is responsible of the decoding of the S/PDIF stream received from
SPDIFRX_IN[4:1] inputs. This block re-sample the incoming signal, decode the manchester
stream, recognize frames, sub-frames and blocks elements. It delivers to the REG_IF part,
decoded data, and associated status flags.
This peripheral can be fully controlled via the APB1 bus, and can handle two DMA channels:
•

A DMA channel dedicated to the transfer of audio samples

•

A DMA channel dedicated to the transfer of IEC60958 channel status and user
information

Interrupt services are also available either as an alternative function to the DMA, or for
signaling error or key status of the peripheral.
The SPDIFRX also offers a signal named spdifrx_frame_sync, which toggles every time
that a sub-frame’s preamble is detected. So the duty cycle will be 50%, and the frequency
equal to the frame rate.
This signal can be connected to timer events, in order to compute frequency drift.

S/PDIF protocol (IEC-60958)
S/PDIF block
A S/PDIF frame is composed of two sub-frames (see Figure 413). Each sub-frame contains
32 bits (or time slots):

1202/1724

•

Bits 0 to 3 carry one of the synchronization preambles

•

Bits 4 to 27 carry the audio sample word in linear 2's complement representation. The
most significant bit (MSB) is carried by bit 27. When a 20-bit coding range is used, bits
8 to 27 carry the audio sample word with the LSB in bit 8.

•

Bit 28 (validity bit “V”) indicates if the data is valid (for converting it to analog for
example)

•

Bit 29 (user data bit “U”) carries the user data information like the number of tracks of a
Compact Disk.

•

Bit 30 (channel status bit “C”) carries the channel status information like sample rate
and protection against copy.

•

Bit 31 (parity bit “P”) carries a parity bit such that bits 4 to 31 inclusive carry an even
number of ones and an even number of zeroes (even parity).

For linear coded audio applications, the first sub-frame (left or “A” channel in stereophonic
operation and primary channel in monophonic operation) normally starts with preamble “M”.
However, the preamble changes to preamble “B” once every 192 frames to identify the start
of the block structure used to organize the channel status and user information. The second
sub-frame (right or “B” channel in stereophonic operation and secondary channel in
monophonic operation) always starts with preamble “W”.
A S/PDIF block contains 192 pairs of sub-frames of 32 bits.

Synchronization preambles
The preambles patterns are inverted or not according to the previous half-bit value. This
previous half-bit value is the level of the line before enabling a transfer for the first “B”
preamble of the first frame. For the others preambles, this previous half-bit value is the
second half-bit of the parity bit of the previous sub-frame. The preambles patterns B, M and
W are described in the Figure 414.

Coding of information bits
In order to minimize the DC component value on the transmission line, and to facilitate clock
recovery from the data stream, bits 4 to 31 are encoded in biphase-mark.
Each bit to be transmitted is represented by a symbol comprising two consecutive binary
states. The first state of a symbol is always different from the second state of the previous
symbol. The second state of the symbol is identical to the first if the bit to be transmitted is
logical 0. However, it is different if the bit is logical 1. These states are named “UI” (Unit
Interval) in the IEC-60958 specification.
The 24 data bits are transferred LSB first.

34.3.2

SPDIF receiver interface (SPDIFRX)

SPDIFRX decoder (SPDIFRX_DC)
Main principle
The technique used by the SPDIFRX in order to decode the S/PDIF stream is based on the
measurement of the time interval between two consecutive edges. Three kinds of time
intervals may be found into an S/PDIF stream:
•

The long time interval, having a duration of 3 x UI, noted TL. It appears only during
preambles.

•

The medium time interval, having a duration of 2 x UI, noted TM. It appears both in
some preambles or into the information field.

•

The short time interval, having a duration of 1 x UI, noted TS. It appears both in some
preambles or into the information field.

The SPDIFRX_DC block is responsible of the decoding of the received S/PDIF stream. It
takes care of the following functions:
•

Resampling and filtering of the incoming signal

•

Estimation of the time-intervals

•

Estimation of the symbol rate and synchronization

•

Decoding of the serial data, and check of integrity

•

Detection of the block, and sub-frame preambles

•

Continuous tracking of the symbol rate

Noise filtering & rising/falling edge detection
The S/PDIF signal received on the selected SPDIFRX_IN is re-sampled using the
SPDIFRX_CLK clock (acquisition clock). A simple filtering is applied in order cancel spurs.
This is performed by the stage detecting the edge transitions. The edge transitions are
detected as follow:
•

A rising edge is detected when the sequence 0 followed by two 1 is sampled.

•

A falling edge is detected when the sequence 1 followed by two 0 is sampled.

•

After a rising edge, a falling edge sequence is expected.

•

After a falling edge, a rising edge sequence is expected.

Longest and shortest transition detector
The longest and shortest transition detector block detects the maximum (MAX_CNT)
and minimum (MIN_CNT) duration between two transitions. The TRCNT counter is used to
measure the time interval duration. It is clocked by the SPDIFRX_CLK signal. On every
transition pulse, the counter value is stored and the counter is reset to start counting again.
The maximum duration is normally found during the preamble period. This maximum
duration is sent out as MAX_CNT. The minimum duration is sent out as MIN_CNT.

1206/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

SPDIF receiver interface (SPDIFRX)
The search of the longest and shortest transition is stopped when the transition timer
expires. The transition timer is like a watchdog timer that generates a trigger after 70
transitions of the incoming signal. Note that counting 70 transitions insures a delay a bit
longer than a sub-frame.
Note that when the TRCNT overflows due to a too long time interval between two pulses,
the SPDIFRX is stopped and the flag TERR of SPDIFRX_SR register is set to 1.

Transition coder and preamble detector
The transition coder and preamble detector block receives the MAX_CNT and
MIN_CNT. It also receives the current transition width from the TRCNT counter (see
Figure 416). This block encodes the current transition width by comparing the current
transition width with two different thresholds, names THHI and THLO.
•

If the current transition width is less than (THLO - 1), then the data received is half part
of data bit ‘1’, and is coded as TS.

•

If the current transition width is greater than (THLO - 1), and less than THHI, then the
data received is data bit ‘0’, and is coded as TM.

•

If the current transition width is greater than THHI, then the data received is the long
pulse of preambles, and is coded as TL.

•

Else an error code is generated (FERR flag is set).

The thresholds THHI and THLO are elaborated using two different methods.
If the peripheral is doing its initial synchronization (‘coarse synchronization’), then the
thresholds are computed as follow:
•

THLO = MAX_CNT / 2.

•

THHI = MIN_CNT + MAX_CNT / 2.

Once the ‘coarse synchronization’ is completed, then the SPDIFRX uses a more accurate
reference in order to elaborate the thresholds. The SPDIFRX measures the length of 24
symbols (WIDTH24) for defining THLO and the length of 40 symbols (WIDTH40) for THHI.
THHI and THLO are computed as follow:
•

THLO = (WIDTH24) / 32

•

THHI = (WIDTH40) / 32

This second synchronization phase is called the ‘fine synchronization’. Refer to Figure 420
for additional information.
As shown in the figure hereafter, THLO is ideally equal to 1.5 UI, and to THHI 2.5 UI.

The preamble detector checks four consecutive transitions of a specific sequence to
determine if they form the part of preamble. Let us say TRANS0, TRANS1, TRANS2 and
TRANS3 represent four consecutive transitions encoded as mentioned above. Table 216
shows the values of these four transitions to form a preamble. Absence of this pattern
indicates that these transitions form part of the data in the sub frame and bi-phase decoder
will decode them.

Bi-phase decoder
The Bi-phase decoder decodes the input bi-phase marked data stream using the transition
information provided by the transition coder and preamble detector block. It first waits for
the preamble detection information. After the preamble detection, it decodes the following
transition information:
•

If the incoming transition information is TM then it is decoded as a ‘0’.

•

Two consecutive TS are decoded as a ‘1’.

•

Any other transition sequence generates an error signal (FERR set to 1).

After decoding 28 data bits this way, this module looks for the following preamble data. If the
new preamble is not what is expected, then this block generates an error signal (FERR set
to 1). Refer to Section 34.3.8: Reception errors, for additional information on error flags.

Data packing
This block is responsible of the decoding of the IEC-60958 frames and blocks. It also
handles the writing into the RX_BUF or into SPDIFRX_CSR register.

34.3.3

SPDIF receiver interface (SPDIFRX)

SPDIFRX tolerance to clock deviation
The SPDIFRX tolerance to clock deviation depends on the number of sample clock cycles in
one bit slot. The fastest SPDIFRX_CLK is, the more robust the reception will be. The ratio
between SPDIFRX_CLK frequency and the symbol rate must be at least 11.
Two kinds of phenomenon (at least!) can degrade the reception quality:

34.3.4

•

The cycle-to-cycle jitter which reflects the difference of transition length between two
consecutive transitions.

•

The long term jitter which reflects a cumulative effect of the cycle-to-cycle jitter. It can
be seen as a low-frequency symbol modulation.

SPDIFRX synchronization
The synchronization phase starts when setting SPDIFRXEN to 01 or 11. Figure 419 shows
the synchronization process.
If the bit WFA of SPDIFRX_CR register is set to 1, then the peripheral must first detect
activity on the selected SPDIFRX_IN line before starting the synchronization process. The
activity detection is performed by detecting four transitions on the selected SPDIFRX_IN.
The peripheral remains in this state until transitions are not detected. This function can be
particularly helpful because the IP switches in COARSE SYNC mode only if activity is
present on the selected SPDIFRX_IN input, avoiding synchronization errors. See
Section 34.4: Programming procedures for additional information.
The user can still set the SPDIFRX into STATE_IDLE by setting SPDIFRXEN to 0. If the
WFA is set to 0, the peripheral starts the coarse synchronization without checking activity.
The next step consists on doing a first estimate of the thresholds (COARSE SYNC), in order
to perform the fine synchronization (FINE SYNC). Due to disturbances of the SPDIFRX line,
it could happen that the process is not executed first time right. For this purpose, the user
can program the number of allowed re-tries (NBTR) before setting SERR error flag.
When the SPDIFRX has been able to measure properly the duration of 24 and 40
consecutive symbols then the FINE SYNC is completed, the threshold values are updated,
and the flag SYNCD is set to 1. Refer to Section : Transition coder and preamble detector
for additional information.
Two kinds of errors are detected:
•

An overflow of the TRCNT, which generally means that there is no valid S/PDIF stream
in the input line. This overflow is indicated by TERR flag.

•

The number of retries reached the programmed value. This means that strong jitter is
present on the S/PDIF signal. This error is indicated by SERR flag.

When the first FINE SYNC is completed, the reception of channel status (C) and user data
(U) will start when the next “B” preamble is detected (see Figure 423).Then the user can
read IEC-60958 C and U bits through SPDIFRX_CSR register. According to this information
the user can then select the proper settings for DRFMT and RXSTEO. For example if the
user detects that the current audio stream transports encoded data, then he can put
RXSTEO to 0, and DRFMT to 10 prior to start data reception. Note that DRFMT and
RXSTEO cannot be modified when SPDIFRXEN = 11. Writes to these fields are ignored if
SPDIFRXEN is already 11, though these field can be changed with the same write
instruction that causes SPDIFRXEN to become 11.
Then the SPDIFRX waits for SPDIFRXEN = 11 and the “B” preamble before starting saving
audio samples.

SPDIFRX handling
The software can control the state of the SPDIFRX through SPDIFRXEN field. The
SPDIFRX can be into one of the following states:
•

STATE_IDLE:
The peripheral is disabled, the SPDIFRX_CLK domain is reset. The PCLK1 domain is
functional.

•

STATE_SYNC:
The peripheral is synchronized to the stream, thresholds are updated regularly, user
and channel status can be read via interrupt of DMA. The audio samples are not
provided to receive buffer.

•

STATE_RCV:
The peripheral is synchronized to the stream, thresholds are updated regularly, user,
channel status and audio samples can be read via interrupt or DMA channels. When
SPDIFRXEN goes to 11, the SPDIFRX waits for “B” preamble before starting saving
audio samples.

•

STOP_STATE:
The peripheral is no longer synchronized, the reception of the user, channel status and
audio samples are stopped. It is expected that the software re-starts the SPDIFRX.

The Figure 421 shows the possible states of the SPDIFRX, and how to transition from one
state to the other. The bits under software control are followed by the mention “(SW)”, the
bits under IP control are followed by the mention “(HW)”.

When SPDIFRX is in STATE_IDLE:
•

The software can transition to STATE_SYNC by setting SPDIFRXEN to 01 or 11

When SPDIFRX is in STATE_SYNC:
•

If the synchronization fails or if the received data are not properly decoded with no
chance of recovery without a re-synchronization (FERR or SERR or TERR = 1), the
SPDIFRX goes to STATE_STOP, and waits for software acknowledge.

•

When the synchronization phase is completed, if SPDIFRXEN = 01 the peripheral
remains in this state.

•

At any time the software can set SPDIFRXEN to 0, then SPDIFRX returns immediately
to STATE_IDLE. If a DMA transfer is on-going, it will be properly completed.

•

The SPDIFRX goes to STATE_RCV if SPDIFRXEN = 11 and if the SYNCD = 1

When SPDIFRX is in STATE_RCV:
•

If the received data are not properly decoded with no chance of recovery without a resynchronization (FERR or SERR or TERR = 1), the SPDIFRX goes to STATE_STOP,
and waits for software acknowledge.

•

At any time the software can set SPDIFRXEN to 0, then SPDIFRX returns immediately
to STATE_IDLE. If a DMA transfer is on-going, it will properly be completed.

When SPDIFRX is in STATE_STOP:
•

1212/1724

The SPDIFRX stops reception and synchronization, and waits for the software to set
the bit SPDIFRXEN to 0, in order to clear the error flags.

RM0385 Rev 8

SPDIF receiver interface (SPDIFRX)
When SPDIFRXEN is set to 0, the IP is disabled, meaning that all the state machines are
reset, and RX_BUF is flushed. Note as well that flags FERR, SERR and TERR are reset.

34.3.6

Data reception management
The SPDIFRX offers a double buffer for the audio sample reception. A 32-bit buffer located
into the SPDIFRX_CLK clock domain (RX_BUF), and the SPDIFRX_FMTx_DR register.
The valid data contained into the RX_BUF will be immediately transferred into
SPDIFRX_FMTx_DR if SPDIFRX_FMTx_DR is empty.
The valid data contained into the RX_BUF will be transferred into SPDIFRX_FMTx_DR
when the two following conditions are reached:
•

The transition between the parity bit (P) and the next preamble is detected (this
indicated that the word has been completely received).

•

The SPDIFRX_FMTx_DR is empty.

Having a 2-word buffer gives more flexibility for the latency constraint.
The maximum latency allowed is TSAMPLE - 2TPCLK - 2TSPDIFRX_CLK
Where TSAMPLE is the audio sampling rate of the received stereo audio samples, TPCLK is
the period of PCLK1 clock, and TSPDIFRX_CLK is the period of SPDIFRX_CLK clock.
The SPDIFRX offers the possibility to use either DMA (spdifrx_dma_req/clr_d) or interrupts
for transferring the audio samples into the memory. The recommended option is DMA, refer
to Section 34.3.10: DMA Interface for additional information.
The SPDIFRX offers several way on handling the received data. The user can either have a
separate flow for control information and audio samples, or get them all together.
For each sub-frame, the data reception register SPDIFRX_FMTx_DR contains the 24 data
bits, and optionally the V, U, C, PE status bits, and the PT (see Mixing data and control
flow).
Note that PE bit stands for Parity Error bit, and will be set to 1 when a parity error is detected
in the decoded sub-frame.
The PT field carries the preamble type (B, M or W).
V, U and C are a direct copy of the value received from the S/PDIF interface.
The bit DRFMT allows the selection between 3 audio formats as shown in Figure 422.
This document describes 3 data registers: SPDIFRX_FMTx[2:0] (x = 2 to 0), but in reality
there is only one physical data register, having 3 possible formats:
•

When DRFMT = 0, the format of the data register is the one described by
SPDIFRX_FMT0_DR

•

When DRFMT = 1, the format of the data register is the one described by
SPDIFRX_FMT1_DR

•

When DRFMT = 2, the format of the data register is the one described by
SPDIFRX_FMT2_DR"

Setting DRFMT to 00 or 01, offers the possibility to have the data either right or left aligned
into the SPDIFRX_FMTx_DR register. The status information can be enabled or forced to
zero according to the way the software wants to handle them.
The format given by DRFMT= 10 is interesting in non-linear mode, as only 16 bits per subframe are used. By using this format, the data of two consecutive sub-frames are stored into
SPDIFRX_FMTx_DR, dividing by two the amount of memory footprint. Note that when
RXSTEO = 1, there is no misalignment risks (i.e. data from ChA will be always stored into
SPDIFRX_FMTx_DR[31:16]). If RXSTEO = 0, then there is a misalignment risk is case of
overrun situation. In that case SPDIFRX_FMTx_DR[31:16] will always contain the oldest
value and SPDIFRX_FMTx_DR[15:0] the more recent value (see Figure 424).
In this format the status information cannot be mixed with data, but the user can still get
them through SPDIFRX_CSR register, and use a dedicated DMA channel or interrupt to
transfer them to memory (see Section 34.3.7: Dedicated control flow)

Mixing data and control flow
The user can choose to use this mode in order to get the full flexibility of the handling of the
control flow. The user can select which field shall be kept into the data register
(SPDIFRX_FMTx_DR).

34.3.7

•

When bit PMSK = 1, the Parity Error information is masked (set to 0), otherwise it is
copied into SPDIFRX_FMTx_DR.

•

When bit VMSK = 1, the Validity information is masked (set to 0), otherwise it is copied
into SPDIFRX_FMTx_DR.

•

When bit CUMSK = 1, the Channel Status, and Used data information are masked (set
to 0), otherwise they are copied into SPDIFRX_FMTx_DR.

•

When bit PTMSK = 1, the Preamble Type is masked (set to 0), otherwise it is copied
into SPDIFRX_FMTx_DR.

Dedicated control flow
The SPDIFRX offers the possibility to catch both user data and channel status information
via a dedicated DMA channel. This feature allows the SPDIFRX to acquire continuously the
channel status and user information. The acquisition will start at the beginning of a IEC
60958 block. Two fields are available to control this path: CBDMAEN and SPDIFRXEN.
When SPDIFRXEN is set to 01 or 0x11, the acquisition is started, after completion of the
synchronization phase. When 8 channel status and 16 user data bits have been received,
they are packed and stored into SPDIFRX_CSR register. A DMA request is triggered if the
bit CBDMAEN is set to 1 (see Figure 423).
If CS[0] corresponds to the first bit of a new block, the bit SOB will be set to 1. Refer to
Section 34.5.8: Channel status register (SPDIFRX_CSR). A bit is available (CHSEL) in
order to select if the user wants to select channel status information (C) from the channel A
or B.

Reception errors
Frame structure and synchronization error
The SPDIFRX, detects errors, when one of the following condition occurs:
•

The FERR bit is set to 1 on the following conditions:
–

For each of the 28 information bits, if one symbol transition sequence is not
correct: for example if short pulses are not grouped by pairs.

–

If preambles occur to an unexpected place, or an expected preamble is not
received.

•

The SERR bit is set when the synchronization fails, because the number of re-tries
exceeded the programmed value.

•

The TERR bit is set when the counter used to estimate the width between two
transitions overflows (TRCNT).
The overflow occurs when no transition is detected during 8192 periods of
SPDIFRX_CLK clock. It represents at most a time interval of 11.6 frames.

When one of those flags goes to 1, the traffic on selected SPDIFRX_IN is then ignored, an
interrupt is generated if the IFEIE bit of the SPDIFRX_CR register is set.
The normal procedure when one of those errors occur is:
•

Set SPDIFRXEN to 0 in order to clear the error flags

•

Set SPDIFRXEN to 01 or 11 in order to restart the IP

Refer to Figure 421 for additional information.

Parity error
For each sub-frame, an even number of zeros and ones is expected inside the 28
information bits. If not, the parity error bit PERR is set in the SPDIFRX_SR register and an
interrupt is generated if the parity interrupt enable PERRIE bit is set in the SPDIFRX_CR
register. The reception of the incoming data is not paused, and the SPDIFRX continue to
deliver data to SPDIFRX_FMTx_DR even if the interrupt is still pending.
The interrupt is acknowledged by clearing the PERR flag through PERRCF bit.
If the software wants to guarantee the coherency between the data read in the
SPDIFRX_FMTx_DR register and the value of the bit PERR, the bit PMSK must be set to 0.

Overrun error
If both SPDIFRX_FMTx_DR and RX_BUF are full, while the SPDIFRX_DC needs to write a
new sample in RX_BUF, this new sample is dropped, and an overrun condition is triggered.
The overrun error flag OVR is set in the SPDIFRX_SR register and an interrupt is generated
if the OVRIE bit of the SPDIFRX_CR register is set.
If the RXSTEO bit is set to 0, then as soon as the RX_BUF is empty, the IP will store the
next incoming data, even if the OVR flag is still pending. The main purpose is to reduce as
much as possible the amount of lost samples. Note that the behavior is similar
independently of DRFMT value. See Figure 424.

If the RXSTEO bit is set to 1, it means that stereo data are transported, then the SPDIFRX
has to avoid misalignment between left and right channels. So the peripheral has to drop a
second sample even if there is room inside the RX_BUF in order to avoid misalignment.
Then the incoming samples can be written normally into the RX_BUF even if the OVR flag is
still pending. Refer to Figure 425.
The OVR flag is cleared by software, by setting the OVRCF bit to 1.

Clocking strategy
The SPDIFRX block needs two different clocks:
•

The APB1 clock (PCLK1), which is used for the register interface,

•

The SPDIFRX_CLK which is mainly used by the SPDIFRX_DC part. Those clocks are
not supposed to be phase locked, so all signals crossing those clock domains are resynchronized (SYNC block on Figure 411).

In order to decode properly the incoming S/PDIF stream the SPDIFRX_DC shall re-sample
the received data with a clock at least 11 times higher than the maximum symbol rate, or
704 times higher than the audio sample rate. For example if the user expects to receive a
symbol rate to up to 12.288 MHz, the sample rate shall be at least 135.2 MHz. The clock
used by the SPDIFRX_DC is the SPDIFRX_CLK.
The frequency of the PCLK1 must be at least equal to the symbol rate.

DMA Interface
The SPDIFRX interface is able to perform communication using the DMA.

Note:

The user should refer to product specifications for availability of the DMA controller.
The SPDIFRX offers two independent DMA channels:

1218/1724

•

A DMA channel dedicated to the data transfer

•

A DMA channel dedicated to the channel status and user data transfer

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

SPDIF receiver interface (SPDIFRX)
The DMA mode for the data can be enabled for reception by setting the RXDMAEN bit in the
SPDIFRX_CR register. In this case, as soon as the SPDIFRX_FMTx_DR is not empty, the
SPDIFRX interface sends a transfer request to the DMA. The DMA reads the data received
through the SPDIFRX_FMTx_DR register without CPU intervention.
For the use of DMA for the control data refer to Section 34.3.7: Dedicated control flow.

Interrupt Generation
An interrupt line is shared between:
•

Reception events for data flow (RXNE)

•

Reception event for control flow (CSRNE)

•

Data corruption detection (PERR)

•

Transfer flow interruption (OVR)

•

Frame structure and synchronization errors (SERR, TERR and FERR)

•

Start of new block interrupt (SBD)

•

Synchronization done (SYNCD)

Clearing interrupt source
•

RXNE is cleared when SPDIFRX_FMTx_DR register is read

•

CSRNE is cleared when SPDIFRX_CSR register is read

•

FERR is cleared when SPDIFRXEN is set to 0

•

SERR is cleared when SPDIFRXEN is set to 0

•

TERR is cleared when SPDIFRXEN is set to 0

•

Others are cleared through SPDIFRX_IFCR register

Note:

The SBD event can only occur when the SPDIFRX is synchronized to the input stream
(SYNCD = 1).
The SBD flag behavior is not guaranteed when the sub-frame which contains the B
preamble is lost due to an overrun.

34.3.12

Register protection
The SPDIFRX block embeds some hardware protection avoid erroneous use of control
registers. The table hereafter shows the bit field properties according to the SPDIFRX state.

The table clearly shows that fields such as INSEL must be programmed when the IP is in

Note:

Even if the hardware allows the writing of CBDMAEN and RXDMAEN “on-the-fly”, it is not
recommended to enable the DMA when the IP is already receiving data.

Note:

Note that each of the mask bits (PMSK, VMSK, …) can be changed “on-the-fly” at any IP
state, but any change does not affect data which is already being held in
SPDIFRX_FMTx_DR.

SPDIF receiver interface (SPDIFRX)

Programming procedures
The following example illustrates a complete activation sequence of the SPDIFRX block.
The data path and channel status & user information will both use a dedicated DMA
channel. The activation sequence is then split into the following steps:
•

Wait for valid data on the selected SPDIFRX_IN input

•

Synchronize to the S/PDIF stream

•

Read the channel status and user information in order to setup the complete audio path

•

Start data acquisition

A simple way to check if valid data are available into the SPDIFRX_IN line is to switch the
SPDIFRX into the STATE_SYNC, with bit WFA set to 1. The description hereafter will focus
on detection. It is also possible to implement this function as follow:
•

The software has to check from time to time (i.e. every 100 ms for example) if the
SPDIFRX can find synchronization. This can be done by checking if the bit TERR is
set. When it is set it indicates that no activity as been found.

•

Connect the SPDIFRX_IN input to an external interrupt event block in order to detect
transitions of SPDIFRX_IN line. When activity is detected, then SPDIFRXEN can be
set to 01 or 11.
For those two implementations, the bit WFA is set to 0.

34.4.1

Initialization phase
•

The initialization function will look like this:

•

Configure the DMA transfer for both audio samples and IEC60958 channel status and
user information (DMA channel selection and activation, priority, number of data to
transfer, circular/no circular mode, DMA interrupts)

•

Configure the destination address:
–

Configure the address of the SPDIFRX_CSR register as source address for
IEC60958 channel status and user information

–

Configure the address of the SPDIFRX_FMTx_DR register as source address for
audio samples

–

Enable the generation of the SPDIFRX_CLK. Refer to Table 217 in order to define
the minimum clock frequency versus supported audio sampling rate.
Note that the audio sampling rate of the received stream is not known in advance.
This means that the user has to select a SPDIFRX_CLK frequency at least 704
times higher than the maximum audio sampling rate the application is supposed to

RM0385 Rev 8

1221/1724
1235

SPDIF receiver interface (SPDIFRX)

RM0385

handle: for example if the application is able to handle streams to up to 96 kHz,
then FSPDIFRX_CLK shall be at least 704 x 96 kHz = 67.6 MHz
•

Enable interrupt for errors and event signaling (IFEIE = SYNCDIE = OVRIE, PERRIE =
1, others set to 0). Note that SYNCDIE can be set to 0.

•

Configure the SPDIFRX_CR register:

•

–

INSEL shall select the wanted input

–

NBTR = 2, WFA = 1 (16 re-tries allowed, wait for activity before going to
synchronization phase),

–

PTMSK = CUMSK = 1 (Preamble, C and U bits are not mixed with data)

–

VMSK = PMSK = 0 (Parity error and validity bit mixed with data)

–

CHSEL = 0 (channels status will be read from sub-frame A)

–

DRFMT = 01 (data aligned to the left)

–

RXSTEO = 1 (expected stereo mode linear)

–

CBDMAEN = RXDMAEN = 1 (enable DMA channels)

–

SPDIFRXEN = 01 (switch SPDIFRX to STATE_SYNC)

The CPU can enter in WFI mode

Then the CPU will receive interrupts coming either from DMA or SPDIFRX.

34.4.2

Handling of interrupts coming from SPDIFRX
When an interrupt from the SPDIFRX is received, then the software has to check what is the
source of the interrupt by reading the SPDIFRX_SR register.
•

If SYNCD is set to 1, then it means that the synchronization has been properly
completed. No action has to be performed in our case as the DMA is already
programmed. The software just needs to wait for DMA interrupt in order to read
channel status information.
The SYNCD flag must be cleared by setting SYNCDCF bit of SPDIFRX_IFCR register
to 1.

•

If TERR or SERR or FERR are set to 1, the software has to set SPDIFRXEN to 0, and
re-start from the initialization phase.

•

1222/1724

–

TERR indicates that a time-out occurs either during synchronization phase or
after.

–

SERR indicates that the synchronization fails because the maximum allowed retries have been reached.

–

FERR indicates that the reading of information after synchronization fails
(unexpected preamble, bad data decoding...).

If PERR is set to 1, it means that a parity error has been detected, so one of the
received audio sample or the channel status or user data bits are corrupted. The action
taken here depends on the application: one action could be to drop the current channel
status block as it is not reliable. There is no need to re-start from the initialization
phase, as the synchronization is not lost.
The PERR flag must be cleared by setting PERRCF bit of SPDIFRX_IFCR register
to 1.

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

SPDIF receiver interface (SPDIFRX)

34.4.3

Handling of interrupts coming from DMA
If an interrupt is coming from the DMA channel used of the channel status (SPDIFRX_CSR):
If no error occurred (i.e. PERR), the CPU can start the decoding of channel information.
For example bit 1 of the channel status informs the user if the current stream is linear or
not. This information is very important in order to set-up the proper processing chain. In
the same way, bits 24 to 27 of the channel status give the sampling frequency of the
stream incoming stream.
Thanks to that information, the user can then configure the RXSTEO bit and DRFMT
field prior to start the data reception. For example if the current stream is non linear
PCM then RXSTEO is set to 0, and DRFMT is set to 10. Then the user can enable the
data reception by setting SPDIFRXEN to 11.
The bit SOB, when set to 1 indicates the start of a new block. This information will help
the software to identify the bit 0 of the channel status. Note that if the DMA generates
an interrupt every time 24 values are transferred into the memory, then the first word
will always correspond to the start of a new block.
If an interrupt is coming from the DMA channel used of the audio samples
(SPDIFRX_FMTx_DR):
The process performed here depends of the data type (linear or non-linear), and on the
data format selected.
For example in linear mode, if PE or V bit is set a special processing can be performed
locally in order to avoid spurs on output. In non-linear mode those bits are not important
as data frame have their own checksum.

Bit 31 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bits 30:16 WIDTH5[14:0]: Duration of 5 symbols counted with SPDIFRX_CLK
This value represents the amount of SPDIFRX_CLK clock periods contained on a length of 5
consecutive symbols. This value can be used to estimate the S/PDIF symbol rate. Its accuracy is
limited by the frequency of SPDIFRX_CLK.
For example if the SPDIFRX_CLK is fixed to 84 MHz, and WIDTH5 = 147d. The estimated sampling
rate of the S/PDIF stream is:
Fs = 5 x FSPDIFRX_CLK / (WIDTH5 x 64) ~ 44.6 kHz, so the closest standard sampling rate is 44.1
kHz.
Note that WIDTH5 is updated by the hardware when SYNCD goes high, and then every frame.
Bits 15:9 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bit 8 TERR: Time-out error
This bit is set by hardware when the counter TRCNT reaches its max value. It indicates that the time
interval between two transitions is too long. It generally indicates that there is no valid signal on
SPDIFRX_IN input.
This flag is cleared by writing SPDIFRXEN to 0
An interrupt is generated if IFEIE=1 in the SPDIFRX_IMR register
0: No sequence error is detected
1: Sequence error is detected
Bit 7 SERR: Synchronization error
This bit is set by hardware when the synchronization fails due to amount of re-tries for NBTR.
This flag is cleared by writing SPDIFRXEN to 0
An interrupt is generated if IFEIE=1 in the SPDIFRX_IMR register.
0: No synchronization error is detected
1: Synchronization error is detected
Bit 6 FERR: Framing error
This bit is set by hardware when an error occurs during data reception: preamble not at the
expected place, short transition not grouped by pairs...
This is set by the hardware only if the synchronization has been completed (SYNCD = 1).
This flag is cleared by writing SPDIFRXEN to 0
An interrupt is generated if IFEIE=1 in the SPDIFRX_IMR register.
0: no Manchester Violation detected
1: Manchester Violation detected

SD/SDIO/MMC card host interface (SDMMC)

35.1

SDMMC main features

RM0385

The SD/SDIO MMC card host interface (SDMMC) provides an interface between the APB2
peripheral bus and MultiMediaCards (MMCs), SD memory cards and SDIO cards.
The MultiMediaCard system specifications are available through the MultiMediaCard
Association website, published by the MMCA technical committee.
SD memory card and SD I/O card system specifications are available through the SD card
Association website.
The SDMMC features include the following:

Note:

•

Full compliance with MultiMediaCard System Specification Version 4.2. Card support
for three different databus modes: 1-bit (default), 4-bit and 8-bit

•

Full compatibility with previous versions of MultiMediaCards (forward compatibility)

•

Full compliance with SD Memory Card Specifications Version 2.0

•

Full compliance with SD I/O Card Specification Version 2.0: card support for two
different databus modes: 1-bit (default) and 4-bit

•

Data transfer up to 50 MHz for the 8 bit mode

•

Data and command output enable signals to control external bidirectional drivers.

1

The SDMMC does not have an SPI-compatible communication mode.

2

The SD memory card protocol is a superset of the MultiMediaCard protocol as defined in the
MultiMediaCard system specification V2.11. Several commands required for SD memory
devices are not supported by either SD I/O-only cards or the I/O portion of combo cards.
Some of these commands have no use in SD I/O devices, such as erase commands, and
thus are not supported in the SDIO protocol. In addition, several commands are different
between SD memory cards and SD I/O cards and thus are not supported in the SDIO
protocol. For details refer to SD I/O card Specification Version 1.0.
The MultiMediaCard/SD bus connects cards to the controller.
The current version of the SDMMC supports only one SD/SDIO/MMC4.2 card at any one
time and a stack of MMC4.1 or previous.

35.2

SDMMC bus topology
Communication over the bus is based on command and data transfers.
The basic transaction on the MultiMediaCard/SD/SD I/O bus is the command/response
transaction. These types of bus transaction transfer their information directly within the
command or response structure. In addition, some operations have a data token.
Data transfers to/from SD/SDIO memory cards are done in data blocks. Data transfers
to/from MMC are done data blocks or streams.

SDMMC functional description
The SDMMC consists of two parts:
•

The SDMMC adapter block provides all functions specific to the MMC/SD/SD I/O card
such as the clock generation unit, command and data transfer.

•

The APB2 interface accesses the SDMMC adapter registers, and generates interrupt
and DMA request signals.

SD/SDIO/MMC card host interface (SDMMC)
By default SDMMC_D0 is used for data transfer. After initialization, the host can change the
databus width.
If a MultiMediaCard is connected to the bus, SDMMC_D0, SDMMC_D[3:0] or
SDMMC_D[7:0] can be used for data transfer. MMC V3.31 or previous, supports only 1 bit of
data so only SDMMC_D0 can be used.
If an SD or SD I/O card is connected to the bus, data transfer can be configured by the host
to use SDMMC_D0 or SDMMC_D[3:0]. All data lines are operating in push-pull mode.
SDMMC_CMD has two operational modes:
•

Open-drain for initialization (only for MMCV3.31 or previous)

•

Push-pull for command transfer (SD/SD I/O card MMC4.2 use push-pull drivers also for
initialization)

SDMMC_CK is the clock to the card: one bit is transferred on both command and data lines
with each clock cycle.
The SDMMC uses two clock signals:
•

SDMMC adapter clock SDMMCCLK = 50 MHz)

•

APB2 bus clock (PCLK2)

PCLK2 and SDMMC_CK clock frequencies must respect the following condition:
Frequenc ( PCLK2 ) > ( ( 3xWidth ) ⁄ 32 ) × Frequency ( SDMMC_CK )

The signals shown in Table 220 are used on the MultiMediaCard/SD/SD I/O card bus.

The SDMMC adapter is a multimedia/secure digital memory card bus master that provides
an interface to a multimedia card stack or to a secure digital memory card. It consists of five
subunits:

Note:

•

Adapter register block

•

Control unit

•

Command path

•

Data path

•

Data FIFO

The adapter registers and FIFO use the APB2 bus clock domain (PCLK2). The control unit,
command path and data path use the SDMMC adapter clock domain (SDMMCCLK).

Adapter register block
The adapter register block contains all system registers. This block also generates the
signals that clear the static flags in the multimedia card. The clear signals are generated
when 1 is written into the corresponding bit location in the SDMMC Clear register.

Control unit
The control unit contains the power management functions and the clock divider for the
memory card clock.
There are three power phases:

1240/1724

•

power-off

•

power-up

•

power-on

DLE

The control unit is illustrated in Figure 434. It consists of a power management subunit and
a clock management subunit.
The power management subunit disables the card bus output signals during the power-off
and power-up phases.
The clock management subunit generates and controls the SDMMC_CK signal. The
SDMMC_CK output can use either the clock divide or the clock bypass mode. The clock
output is inactive:
•

after reset

•

during the power-off or power-up phases

•

if the power saving mode is enabled and the card bus is in the Idle state (eight clock
periods after both the command and data path subunits enter the Idle phase)

The clock management subunit controls SDMMC_CK dephasing. When not in bypass mode
the SDMMC command and data output are generated on the SDMMCCLK falling edge
succeeding the rising edge of SDMMC_CK. (SDMMC_CK rising edge occurs on
SDMMCCLK rising edge) when SDMMC_CLKCR[13] bit is reset (NEGEDGE = 0). When
SDMMC_CLKCR[13] bit is set (NEGEDGE = 1) SDMMC command and data changed on
the SDMMC_CK falling edge.
When SDMMC_CLKCR[10] is set (BYPASS = 1), SDMMC_CK rising edge occurs on
SDMMCCLK rising edge. The data and the command change on SDMMCCLK falling edge
whatever NEGEDGE value.
The data and command responses are latched using SDMMC_CK rising edge.

Command path state machine (CPSM)
–

1242/1724

When the command register is written to and the enable bit is set, command
transfer starts. When the command has been sent, the command path state
machine (CPSM) sets the status flags and enters the Idle state if a response is not
required. If a response is required, it waits for the response (see Figure 437 on
page 1243). When the response is received, the received CRC code and the
internally generated code are compared, and the appropriate status flags are set.

When the Wait state is entered, the command timer starts running. If the timeout is reached
before the CPSM moves to the Receive state, the timeout flag is set and the Idle state is
entered.
Note:

The command timeout has a fixed value of 64 SDMMC_CK clock periods.
If the interrupt bit is set in the command register, the timer is disabled and the CPSM waits
for an interrupt request from one of the cards. If a pending bit is set in the command register,
the CPSM enters the Pend state, and waits for a CmdPend signal from the data path
subunit. When CmdPend is detected, the CPSM moves to the Send state. This enables the
data counter to trigger the stop command transmission.

Note:

The CPSM remains in the Idle state for at least eight SDMMC_CK periods to meet the NCC
and NRC timing constraints. NCC is the minimum delay between two host commands, and
NRC is the minimum delay between the host command and the card response.

Command format
–

Command: a command is a token that starts an operation. Command are sent
from the host either to a single card (addressed command) or to all connected
cards (broadcast command are available for MMC V3.31 or previous). Commands
are transferred serially on the CMD line. All commands have a fixed length of 48
bits. The general format for a command token for MultiMediaCards, SD-Memory
cards and SDIO-Cards is shown in Table 221.
The command path operates in a half-duplex mode, so that commands and
responses can either be sent or received. If the CPSM is not in the Send state, the
SDMMC_CMD output is in the Hi-Z state, as shown in Figure 438 on page 1244.
Data on SDMMC_CMD are synchronous with the rising edge of SDMMC_CK.
Table 221 shows the command format.

Response: a response is a token that is sent from an addressed card (or
synchronously from all connected cards for MMC V3.31 or previous), to the host
as an answer to a previously received command. Responses are transferred
serially on the CMD line.

The SDMMC supports two response types. Both use CRC error checking:

Note:

1244/1724

•

48 bit short response

•

136 bit long response

If the response does not contain a CRC (CMD1 response), the device driver must ignore the
CRC failed status.

The command register contains the command index (six bits sent to a card) and the
command type. These determine whether the command requires a response, and whether
the response is 48 or 136 bits long (see Section 35.8.4 on page 1280). The command path
implements the status flags shown in Table 224:

CMDREND

Set if response CRC is OK.

CCRCFAIL

Set if response CRC fails.

CMDSENT

Set when command (that does not require response) is sent

CTIMEOUT

CMDACT

Command transfer in progress.

The CRC generator calculates the CRC checksum for all bits before the CRC code. This
includes the start bit, transmitter bit, command index, and command argument (or card
status). The CRC checksum is calculated for the first 120 bits of CID or CSD for the long
response format. Note that the start bit, transmitter bit and the six reserved bits are not used
in the CRC calculation.
The CRC checksum is a 7-bit value:
CRC[6:0] = Remainder [(M(x) * x7) / G(x)]
G(x) = x7 + x3 + 1
M(x) = (start bit) * x39 + ... + (last bit before CRC) * x0, or
M(x) = (start bit) * x119 + ... + (last bit before CRC) * x0

The card databus width can be programmed using the clock control register. If the 4-bit wide
bus mode is enabled, data is transferred at four bits per clock cycle over all four data signals
(SDMMC_D[3:0]). If the 8-bit wide bus mode is enabled, data is transferred at eight bits per
clock cycle over all eight data signals (SDMMC_D[7:0]). If the wide bus mode is not
enabled, only one bit per clock cycle is transferred over SDMMC_D0.
Depending on the transfer direction (send or receive), the data path state machine (DPSM)
moves to the Wait_S or Wait_R state when it is enabled:
•

Send: the DPSM moves to the Wait_S state. If there is data in the transmit FIFO, the
DPSM moves to the Send state, and the data path subunit starts sending data to a
card.

•

Receive: the DPSM moves to the Wait_R state and waits for a start bit. When it
receives a start bit, the DPSM moves to the Receive state, and the data path subunit
starts receiving data from a card.

Data path state machine (DPSM)
The DPSM operates at SDMMC_CK frequency. Data on the card bus signals is
synchronous to the rising edge of SDMMC_CK. The DPSM has six states, as shown in
Figure 440: Data path state machine (DPSM).

•

Idle: the data path is inactive, and the SDMMC_D[7:0] outputs are in Hi-Z. When the
data control register is written and the enable bit is set, the DPSM loads the data
counter with a new value and, depending on the data direction bit, moves to either the
Wait_S or the Wait_R state.

•

Wait_R: if the data counter equals zero, the DPSM moves to the Idle state when the
receive FIFO is empty. If the data counter is not zero, the DPSM waits for a start bit on
SDMMC_D. The DPSM moves to the Receive state if it receives a start bit before a
timeout, and loads the data block counter. If it reaches a timeout before it detects a
start bit, it moves to the Idle state and sets the timeout status flag.

•

Receive: serial data received from a card is packed in bytes and written to the data
FIFO. Depending on the transfer mode bit in the data control register, the data transfer
mode can be either block or stream:
–

In block mode, when the data block counter reaches zero, the DPSM waits until it
receives the CRC code. If the received code matches the internally generated
CRC code, the DPSM moves to the Wait_R state. If not, the CRC fail status flag is
set and the DPSM moves to the Idle state.

–

In stream mode, the DPSM receives data while the data counter is not zero. When
the counter is zero, the remaining data in the shift register is written to the data
FIFO, and the DPSM moves to the Wait_R state.

If a FIFO overrun error occurs, the DPSM sets the FIFO error flag and moves to the
Idle state:
•

Wait_S: the DPSM moves to the Idle state if the data counter is zero. If not, it waits until
the data FIFO empty flag is deasserted, and moves to the Send state.

Note:

RM0385

The DPSM remains in the Wait_S state for at least two clock periods to meet the NWR timing
requirements, where NWR is the number of clock cycles between the reception of the card
response and the start of the data transfer from the host.
•

Send: the DPSM starts sending data to a card. Depending on the transfer mode bit in
the data control register, the data transfer mode can be either block or stream:
–

In block mode, when the data block counter reaches zero, the DPSM sends an
internally generated CRC code and end bit, and moves to the Busy state.

–

In stream mode, the DPSM sends data to a card while the enable bit is high and
the data counter is not zero. It then moves to the Idle state.

If a FIFO underrun error occurs, the DPSM sets the FIFO error flag and moves to the
Idle state.
•

Busy: the DPSM waits for the CRC status flag:
–

If it does not receive a positive CRC status, it moves to the Idle state and sets the
CRC fail status flag.

–

If it receives a positive CRC status, it moves to the Wait_S state if SDMMC_D0 is
not low (the card is not busy).

If a timeout occurs while the DPSM is in the Busy state, it sets the data timeout flag and
moves to the Idle state.
The data timer is enabled when the DPSM is in the Wait_R or Busy state, and
generates the data timeout error:

•

–

When transmitting data, the timeout occurs if the DPSM stays in the Busy state for
longer than the programmed timeout period

–

When receiving data, the timeout occurs if the end of the data is not true, and if the
DPSM stays in the Wait_R state for longer than the programmed timeout period.

Data: data can be transferred from the card to the host or vice versa. Data is
transferred via the data lines. They are stored in a FIFO of 32 words, each word is 32
bits wide.

DPSM Flags
The status of the data path subunit transfer is reported by several status flags
Table 226. DPSM flags
Flag

Description

DBCKEND

Set to high when data block send/receive CRC check is passed.
In SDIO multibyte transfer mode this flag is set at the end of the transfer (a
multibyte transfer is considered as a single block transfer by the host).

DATAEND

Set to high when SDMMC_DCOUNT register decrements and reaches 0.
DATAEND indicates the end of a transfer on SDMMC data line.

DTIMEOUT

Set to high when data timeout period is reached.
When data timer reaches zero while DPSM is in Wait_R or Busy state, timeout is
set. DTIMEOUT can be set after DATAEND if DPSM remains in busy state for
longer than the programmed period.

DCRCFAIL

Set to high when data block send/receive CRC check fails.

Data FIFO
The data FIFO (first-in-first-out) subunit is a data buffer with a transmit and receive unit.
The FIFO contains a 32-bit wide, 32-word deep data buffer, and transmit and receive logic.
Because the data FIFO operates in the APB2 clock domain (PCLK2), all signals from the
subunits in the SDMMC clock domain (SDMMCCLK) are resynchronized.
Depending on the TXACT and RXACT flags, the FIFO can be disabled, transmit enabled, or
receive enabled. TXACT and RXACT are driven by the data path subunit and are mutually
exclusive:

•

–

The transmit FIFO refers to the transmit logic and data buffer when TXACT is
asserted

–

The receive FIFO refers to the receive logic and data buffer when RXACT is
asserted

Transmit FIFO:
Data can be written to the transmit FIFO through the APB2 interface when the SDMMC
is enabled for transmission.
The transmit FIFO is accessible via 32 sequential addresses. The transmit FIFO
contains a data output register that holds the data word pointed to by the read pointer.
When the data path subunit has loaded its shift register, it increments the read pointer
and drives new data out.
If the transmit FIFO is disabled, all status flags are deasserted. The data path subunit
asserts TXACT when it transmits data.

Description

TXFIFOF

Set to high when all 32 transmit FIFO words contain valid data.

TXFIFOE

Set to high when the transmit FIFO does not contain valid data.

TXFIFOHE

Set to high when 8 or more transmit FIFO words are empty. This flag can be used
as a DMA request.

TXDAVL

Set to high when the transmit FIFO contains valid data. This flag is the inverse of
the TXFIFOE flag.

TXUNDERR

Set to high when an underrun error occurs. This flag is cleared by writing to the
SDMMC Clear register.
Note: In case of TXUNDERR, and DMA is used to fill SDMMC FIFO, user
software should disable DMA stream, and then write DMAEN bit in
SDMMC_DCTRL with ‘0’ (to disable DMA request generation).

•

Receive FIFO
When the data path subunit receives a word of data, it drives the data on the write
databus. The write pointer is incremented after the write operation completes. On the
read side, the contents of the FIFO word pointed to by the current value of the read
pointer is driven onto the read databus. If the receive FIFO is disabled, all status flags
are deasserted, and the read and write pointers are reset. The data path subunit
asserts RXACT when it receives data. Table 228 lists the receive FIFO status flags.
The receive FIFO is accessible via 32 sequential addresses.

RXDAVL

Set to high when the receive FIFO is not empty. This flag is the inverse of the
RXFIFOE flag.

RXOVERR

Set to high when an overrun error occurs. This flag is cleared by writing to the
SDMMC Clear register.
Note: In case of RXOVERR, and DMA is used to read SDMMC FIFO, user
software should disable DMA stream, and then write DMAEN bit in
SDMMC_DCTRL with ‘0’ (to disable DMA request generation).

SD/SDIO/MMC card host interface (SDMMC)

SDMMC APB2 interface
The APB2 interface generates the interrupt and DMA requests, and accesses the SDMMC
adapter registers and the data FIFO. It consists of a data path, register decoder, and
interrupt/DMA logic.

SDMMC interrupts
The interrupt logic generates an interrupt request signal that is asserted when at least one
of the selected status flags is high. A mask register is provided to allow selection of the
conditions that will generate an interrupt. A status flag generates the interrupt request if a
corresponding mask flag is set.

SDMMC/DMA interface
SDMMC APB interface controls all subunit to perform transfers between the host and card

(SDMMC card host enabled to send a command). Other fields are at their reset
value.

f)

Wait for SDMMC_STA[6] = CMDREND interrupt, (CMDREND is set if there is no
error on command path).

g)

Wait for SDMMC_STA[10] = DBCKEND, (DBCKEND is set in case of no errors
until the CRC check is passed)

h)

Wait until the FIFO is empty, when FIFO is empty the SDMMC_STA[5] =
RXOVERR value has to be check to guarantee that read succeeded

When FIFO overrun error occurs with last 1-4 bytes, it may happens that RXOVERR flag is
set 2 APB clock cycles after DATAEND flag is set. To guarantee success of read operation
RXOVERR must be cheked after FIFO is empty.

Card functional description

35.4.1

Card identification mode
While in card identification mode the host resets all cards, validates the operation voltage
range, identifies cards and sets a relative card address (RCA) for each card on the bus. All
data communications in the card identification mode use the command line (CMD) only.

1252/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

35.4.2

SD/SDIO/MMC card host interface (SDMMC)

Card reset
The GO_IDLE_STATE command (CMD0) is the software reset command and it puts the
MultiMediaCard and SD memory in the Idle state. The IO_RW_DIRECT command (CMD52)
resets the SD I/O card. After power-up or CMD0, all cards output bus drivers are in the highimpedance state and the cards are initialized with a default relative card address
(RCA=0x0001) and with a default driver stage register setting (lowest speed, highest driving
current capability).

35.4.3

Operating voltage range validation
All cards can communicate with the SDMMC card host using any operating voltage within
the specification range. The supported minimum and maximum VDD values are defined in
the operation conditions register (OCR) on the card.
Cards that store the card identification number (CID) and card specific data (CSD) in the
payload memory are able to communicate this information only under data-transfer VDD
conditions. When the SDMMC card host module and the card have incompatible VDD
ranges, the card is not able to complete the identification cycle and cannot send CSD data.
For this purpose, the special commands, SEND_OP_COND (CMD1), SD_APP_OP_COND
(ACMD41 for SD Memory), and IO_SEND_OP_COND (CMD5 for SD I/O), are designed to
provide a mechanism to identify and reject cards that do not match the VDD range desired
by the SDMMC card host. The SDMMC card host sends the required VDD voltage window
as the operand of these commands. Cards that cannot perform data transfer in the specified
range disconnect from the bus and go to the inactive state.
By using these commands without including the voltage range as the operand, the SDMMC
card host can query each card and determine the common voltage range before placing outof-range cards in the inactive state. This query is used when the SDMMC card host is able
to select a common voltage range or when the user requires notification that cards are not
usable.

35.4.4

Card identification process
The card identification process differs for MultiMediaCards and SD cards. For
MultiMediaCard cards, the identification process starts at clock rate Fod. The SDMMC_CMD
line output drivers are open-drain and allow parallel card operation during this process. The
registration process is accomplished as follows:
1.

The bus is activated.

2.

The SDMMC card host broadcasts SEND_OP_COND (CMD1) to receive operation
conditions.

3.

The response is the wired AND operation of the operation condition registers from all
cards.

4.

Incompatible cards are placed in the inactive state.

5.

The SDMMC card host broadcasts ALL_SEND_CID (CMD2) to all active cards.

6.

The active cards simultaneously send their CID numbers serially. Cards with outgoing
CID bits that do not match the bits on the command line stop transmitting and must wait
for the next identification cycle. One card successfully transmits a full CID to the
SDMMC card host and enters the Identification state.

7.

The SDMMC card host issues SET_RELATIVE_ADDR (CMD3) to that card. This new
address is called the relative card address (RCA); it is shorter than the CID and

RM0385 Rev 8

1253/1724
1294

SD/SDIO/MMC card host interface (SDMMC)

RM0385

addresses the card. The assigned card changes to the Standby state, it does not react
to further identification cycles, and its output switches from open-drain to push-pull.
8.

The SDMMC card host repeats steps 5 through 7 until it receives a timeout condition.

For the SD card, the identification process starts at clock rate Fod, and the SDMMC_CMD
line output drives are push-pull drivers instead of open-drain. The registration process is
accomplished as follows:
1.

The bus is activated.

2.

The SDMMC card host broadcasts SD_APP_OP_COND (ACMD41).

3.

The cards respond with the contents of their operation condition registers.

4.

The incompatible cards are placed in the inactive state.

5.

The SDMMC card host broadcasts ALL_SEND_CID (CMD2) to all active cards.

6.

The cards send back their unique card identification numbers (CIDs) and enter the
Identification state.

7.

The SDMMC card host issues SET_RELATIVE_ADDR (CMD3) to an active card with
an address. This new address is called the relative card address (RCA); it is shorter
than the CID and addresses the card. The assigned card changes to the Standby state.
The SDMMC card host can reissue this command to change the RCA. The RCA of the
card is the last assigned value.

8.

The SDMMC card host repeats steps 5 through 7 with all active cards.

For the SD I/O card, the registration process is accomplished as follows:

35.4.5

1.

The bus is activated.

2.

The SDMMC card host sends IO_SEND_OP_COND (CMD5).

3.

The cards respond with the contents of their operation condition registers.

4.

The incompatible cards are set to the inactive state.

5.

The SDMMC card host issues SET_RELATIVE_ADDR (CMD3) to an active card with
an address. This new address is called the relative card address (RCA); it is shorter
than the CID and addresses the card. The assigned card changes to the Standby state.
The SDMMC card host can reissue this command to change the RCA. The RCA of the
card is the last assigned value.

Block write
During block write (CMD24 - 27) one or more blocks of data are transferred from the host to
the card with a CRC appended to the end of each block by the host. A card supporting block
write is always able to accept a block of data defined by WRITE_BL_LEN. If the CRC fails,
the card indicates the failure on the SDMMC_D line and the transferred data are discarded
and not written, and all further transmitted blocks (in multiple block write mode) are ignored.
If the host uses partial blocks whose accumulated length is not block aligned and, block
misalignment is not allowed (CSD parameter WRITE_BLK_MISALIGN is not set), the card
will detect the block misalignment error before the beginning of the first misaligned block.
(ADDRESS_ERROR error bit is set in the status register). The write operation will also be
aborted if the host tries to write over a write-protected area. In this case, however, the card
will set the WP_VIOLATION bit.
Programming of the CID and CSD registers does not require a previous block length setting.
The transferred data is also CRC protected. If a part of the CSD or CID register is stored in
ROM, then this unchangeable part must match the corresponding part of the receive buffer.
If this match fails, then the card reports an error and does not change any register contents.

1254/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

SD/SDIO/MMC card host interface (SDMMC)
Some cards may require long and unpredictable times to write a block of data. After
receiving a block of data and completing the CRC check, the card begins writing and holds
the SDMMC_D line low if its write buffer is full and unable to accept new data from a new
WRITE_BLOCK command. The host may poll the status of the card with a SEND_STATUS
command (CMD13) at any time, and the card will respond with its status. The
READY_FOR_DATA status bit indicates whether the card can accept new data or whether
the write process is still in progress. The host may deselect the card by issuing CMD7 (to
select a different card), which will place the card in the Disconnect state and release the
SDMMC_D line(s) without interrupting the write operation. When reselecting the card, it will
reactivate busy indication by pulling SDMMC_D to low if programming is still in progress and
the write buffer is unavailable.

35.4.6

Block read
In Block read mode the basic unit of data transfer is a block whose maximum size is defined
in the CSD (READ_BL_LEN). If READ_BL_PARTIAL is set, smaller blocks whose start and
end addresses are entirely contained within one physical block (as defined by
READ_BL_LEN) may also be transmitted. A CRC is appended to the end of each block,
ensuring data transfer integrity. CMD17 (READ_SINGLE_BLOCK) initiates a block read and
after completing the transfer, the card returns to the Transfer state.
CMD18 (READ_MULTIPLE_BLOCK) starts a transfer of several consecutive blocks.
The host can abort reading at any time, within a multiple block operation, regardless of its
type. Transaction abort is done by sending the stop transmission command.
If the card detects an error (for example, out of range, address misalignment or internal
error) during a multiple block read operation (both types) it stops the data transmission and
remains in the data state. The host must than abort the operation by sending the stop
transmission command. The read error is reported in the response to the stop transmission
command.
If the host sends a stop transmission command after the card transmits the last block of a
multiple block operation with a predefined number of blocks, it is responded to as an illegal
command, since the card is no longer in the data state. If the host uses partial blocks whose
accumulated length is not block-aligned and block misalignment is not allowed, the card
detects a block misalignment error condition at the beginning of the first misaligned block
(ADDRESS_ERROR error bit is set in the status register).

35.4.7

Stream access, stream write and stream read
(MultiMediaCard only)
In stream mode, data is transferred in bytes and no CRC is appended at the end of each
block.

Stream write (MultiMediaCard only)
WRITE_DAT_UNTIL_STOP (CMD20) starts the data transfer from the SDMMC card host to
the card, beginning at the specified address and continuing until the SDMMC card host
issues a stop command. When partial blocks are allowed (CSD parameter
WRITE_BL_PARTIAL is set), the data stream can start and stop at any address within the
card address space, otherwise it can only start and stop at block boundaries. Because the
amount of data to be transferred is not determined in advance, a CRC cannot be used.
When the end of the memory range is reached while sending data and no stop command is
sent by the SDMMC card host, any additional transferred data are discarded.

The maximum clock frequency for a stream write operation is given by the following
equation fields of the card-specific data register:
8 × 2 writebllen ) ( – NSAC ))
Maximumspeed = MIN (TRANSPEED,(------------------------------------------------------------------------TAAC × R2WFACTOR

•

Maximumspeed = maximum write frequency

•

TRANSPEED = maximum data transfer rate

•

writebllen = maximum write data block length

•

NSAC = data read access time 2 in CLK cycles

•

TAAC = data read access time 1

•

R2WFACTOR = write speed factor

If the host attempts to use a higher frequency, the card may not be able to process the data
and stop programming, set the OVERRUN error bit in the status register, and while ignoring
all further data transfer, wait (in the receive data state) for a stop command. The write
operation is also aborted if the host tries to write over a write-protected area. In this case,
however, the card sets the WP_VIOLATION bit.

Stream read (MultiMediaCard only)
READ_DAT_UNTIL_STOP (CMD11) controls a stream-oriented data transfer.
This command instructs the card to send its data, starting at a specified address, until the
SDMMC card host sends STOP_TRANSMISSION (CMD12). The stop command has an
execution delay due to the serial command transmission and the data transfer stops after
the end bit of the stop command. When the end of the memory range is reached while
sending data and no stop command is sent by the SDMMC card host, any subsequent data
sent are considered undefined.
The maximum clock frequency for a stream read operation is given by the following
equation and uses fields of the card specific data register.
( 8 × 2 readbllen ) ( – NSAC ))
Maximumspeed = MIN (TRANSPEED,-----------------------------------------------------------------------TAAC × R2WFACTOR

Maximumspeed = maximum read frequency

writebllen = maximum write data block length

•

NSAC = data read access time 2 in CLK cycles

•

TAAC = data read access time 1

•

R2WFACTOR = write speed factor

If the host attempts to use a higher frequency, the card is not able to sustain data transfer. If
this happens, the card sets the UNDERRUN error bit in the status register, aborts the
transmission and waits in the data state for a stop command.

35.4.8

SD/SDIO/MMC card host interface (SDMMC)

Erase: group erase and sector erase
The erasable unit of the MultiMediaCard is the erase group. The erase group is measured in
write blocks, which are the basic writable units of the card. The size of the erase group is a
card-specific parameter and defined in the CSD.
The host can erase a contiguous range of Erase Groups. Starting the erase process is a
three-step sequence.
First the host defines the start address of the range using the ERASE_GROUP_START
(CMD35) command, next it defines the last address of the range using the
ERASE_GROUP_END (CMD36) command and, finally, it starts the erase process by
issuing the ERASE (CMD38) command. The address field in the erase commands is an
Erase Group address in byte units. The card ignores all LSBs below the Erase Group size,
effectively rounding the address down to the Erase Group boundary.
If an erase command is received out of sequence, the card sets the ERASE_SEQ_ERROR
bit in the status register and resets the whole sequence.
If an out-of-sequence (neither of the erase commands, except SEND_STATUS) command
received, the card sets the ERASE_RESET status bit in the status register, resets the erase
sequence and executes the last command.
If the erase range includes write protected blocks, they are left intact and only nonprotected
blocks are erased. The WP_ERASE_SKIP status bit in the status register is set.
The card indicates that an erase is in progress by holding SDMMC_D low. The actual erase
time may be quite long, and the host may issue CMD7 to deselect the card.

35.4.9

Wide bus selection or deselection
Wide bus (4-bit bus width) operation mode is selected or deselected using
SET_BUS_WIDTH (ACMD6). The default bus width after power-up or GO_IDLE_STATE
(CMD0) is 1 bit. SET_BUS_WIDTH (ACMD6) is only valid in a transfer state, which means
that the bus width can be changed only after a card is selected by
SELECT/DESELECT_CARD (CMD7).

35.4.10

Protection management
Three write protection methods for the cards are supported in the SDMMC card host
module:
1.

internal card write protection (card responsibility)

2.

mechanical write protection switch (SDMMC card host module responsibility only)

3.

password-protected card lock operation

Internal card write protection
Card data can be protected against write and erase. By setting the permanent or temporary
write-protect bits in the CSD, the entire card can be permanently write-protected by the
manufacturer or content provider. For cards that support write protection of groups of
sectors by setting the WP_GRP_ENABLE bit in the CSD, portions of the data can be
protected, and the write protection can be changed by the application. The write protection
is in units of WP_GRP_SIZE sectors as specified in the CSD. The SET_WRITE_PROT and
CLR_WRITE_PROT commands control the protection of the addressed group. The
SEND_WRITE_PROT command is similar to a single block read command. The card sends

RM0385 Rev 8

1257/1724
1294

SD/SDIO/MMC card host interface (SDMMC)

RM0385

a data block containing 32 write protection bits (representing 32 write protect groups starting
at the specified address) followed by 16 CRC bits. The address field in the write protect
commands is a group address in byte units.
The card ignores all LSBs below the group size.

Mechanical write protect switch
A mechanical sliding tab on the side of the card allows the user to set or clear the write
protection on a card. When the sliding tab is positioned with the window open, the card is
write-protected, and when the window is closed, the card contents can be changed. A
matched switch on the socket side indicates to the SDMMC card host module that the card
is write-protected. The SDMMC card host module is responsible for protecting the card. The
position of the write protect switch is unknown to the internal circuitry of the card.

Password protect
The password protection feature enables the SDMMC card host module to lock and unlock
a card with a password. The password is stored in the 128-bit PWD register and its size is
set in the 8-bit PWD_LEN register. These registers are nonvolatile so that a power cycle
does not erase them. Locked cards respond to and execute certain commands. This means
that the SDMMC card host module is allowed to reset, initialize, select, and query for status,
however it is not allowed to access data on the card. When the password is set (as indicated
by a nonzero value of PWD_LEN), the card is locked automatically after power-up. As with
the CSD and CID register write commands, the lock/unlock commands are available in the
transfer state only. In this state, the command does not include an address argument and
the card must be selected before using it. The card lock/unlock commands have the
structure and bus transaction types of a regular single-block write command. The
transferred data block includes all of the required information for the command (the
password setting mode, the PWD itself, and card lock/unlock). The command data block
size is defined by the SDMMC card host module before it sends the card lock/unlock
command, and has the structure shown in Table 242.
The bit settings are as follows:
•

ERASE: setting it forces an erase operation. All other bits must be zero, and only the
command byte is sent

•

LOCK_UNLOCK: setting it locks the card. LOCK_UNLOCK can be set simultaneously
with SET_PWD, however not with CLR_PWD

•

CLR_PWD: setting it clears the password data

•

SET_PWD: setting it saves the password data to memory

•

PWD_LEN: it defines the length of the password in bytes

•

PWD: the password (new or currently used, depending on the command)

The following sections list the command sequences to set/reset a password, lock/unlock the
card, and force an erase.

Setting the password

1258/1724

1.

Select a card (SELECT/DESELECT_CARD, CMD7), if none is already selected.

2.

Define the block length (SET_BLOCKLEN, CMD16) to send, given by the 8-bit card
lock/unlock mode, the 8-bit PWD_LEN, and the number of bytes of the new password.

RM0385

SD/SDIO/MMC card host interface (SDMMC)
When a password replacement is done, the block size must take into account that both
the old and the new passwords are sent with the command.
3.

Send LOCK/UNLOCK (CMD42) with the appropriate data block size on the data line
including the 16-bit CRC. The data block indicates the mode (SET_PWD = 1), the
length (PWD_LEN), and the password (PWD) itself. When a password replacement is
done, the length value (PWD_LEN) includes the length of both passwords, the old and
the new one, and the PWD field includes the old password (currently used) followed by
the new password.

4.

When the password is matched, the new password and its size are saved into the PWD
and PWD_LEN fields, respectively. When the old password sent does not correspond
(in size and/or content) to the expected password, the LOCK_UNLOCK_FAILED error
bit is set in the card status register, and the password is not changed.

The password length field (PWD_LEN) indicates whether a password is currently set. When
this field is nonzero, there is a password set and the card locks itself after power-up. It is
possible to lock the card immediately in the current power session by setting the
LOCK_UNLOCK bit (while setting the password) or sending an additional command for card
locking.

Resetting the password
1.

Select a card (SELECT/DESELECT_CARD, CMD7), if none is already selected.

2.

Define the block length (SET_BLOCKLEN, CMD16) to send, given by the 8-bit card
lock/unlock mode, the 8-bit PWD_LEN, and the number of bytes in the currently used
password.

3.

Send LOCK/UNLOCK (CMD42) with the appropriate data block size on the data line
including the 16-bit CRC. The data block indicates the mode (CLR_PWD = 1), the
length (PWD_LEN) and the password (PWD) itself. The LOCK_UNLOCK bit is ignored.

4.

When the password is matched, the PWD field is cleared and PWD_LEN is set to 0.
When the password sent does not correspond (in size and/or content) to the expected
password, the LOCK_UNLOCK_FAILED error bit is set in the card status register, and
the password is not changed.

Locking a card
1.

Select a card (SELECT/DESELECT_CARD, CMD7), if none is already selected.

2.

Define the block length (SET_BLOCKLEN, CMD16) to send, given by the 8-bit card
lock/unlock mode (byte 0 in Table 242), the 8-bit PWD_LEN, and the number of bytes
of the current password.

3.

Send LOCK/UNLOCK (CMD42) with the appropriate data block size on the data line
including the 16-bit CRC. The data block indicates the mode (LOCK_UNLOCK = 1), the
length (PWD_LEN), and the password (PWD) itself.

4.

When the password is matched, the card is locked and the CARD_IS_LOCKED status
bit is set in the card status register. When the password sent does not correspond (in
size and/or content) to the expected password, the LOCK_UNLOCK_FAILED error bit
is set in the card status register, and the lock fails.

It is possible to set the password and to lock the card in the same sequence. In this case,
the SDMMC card host module performs all the required steps for setting the password (see
Setting the password on page 1258), however it is necessary to set the LOCK_UNLOCK bit
in Step 3 when the new password command is sent.

When the password is previously set (PWD_LEN is not 0), the card is locked automatically
after power on reset. An attempt to lock a locked card or to lock a card that does not have a
password fails and the LOCK_UNLOCK_FAILED error bit is set in the card status register.

Unlocking the card
1.

Select a card (SELECT/DESELECT_CARD, CMD7), if none is already selected.

2.

Define the block length (SET_BLOCKLEN, CMD16) to send, given by the 8-bit
cardlock/unlock mode (byte 0 in Table 242), the 8-bit PWD_LEN, and the number of
bytes of the current password.

3.

Send LOCK/UNLOCK (CMD42) with the appropriate data block size on the data line
including the 16-bit CRC. The data block indicates the mode (LOCK_UNLOCK = 0), the
length (PWD_LEN), and the password (PWD) itself.

4.

When the password is matched, the card is unlocked and the CARD_IS_LOCKED
status bit is cleared in the card status register. When the password sent is not correct in
size and/or content and does not correspond to the expected password, the
LOCK_UNLOCK_FAILED error bit is set in the card status register, and the card
remains locked.

The unlocking function is only valid for the current power session. When the PWD field is not
clear, the card is locked automatically on the next power-up.
An attempt to unlock an unlocked card fails and the LOCK_UNLOCK_FAILED error bit is set
in the card status register.

Forcing erase
If the user has forgotten the password (PWD content), it is possible to access the card after
clearing all the data on the card. This forced erase operation erases all card data and all
password data.
1.

Select a card (SELECT/DESELECT_CARD, CMD7), if none is already selected.

2.

Set the block length (SET_BLOCKLEN, CMD16) to 1 byte. Only the 8-bit card
lock/unlock byte (byte 0 in Table 242) is sent.

3.

Send LOCK/UNLOCK (CMD42) with the appropriate data byte on the data line
including the 16-bit CRC. The data block indicates the mode (ERASE = 1). All other bits
must be zero.

4.

When the ERASE bit is the only bit set in the data field, all card contents are erased,
including the PWD and PWD_LEN fields, and the card is no longer locked. When any
other bits are set, the LOCK_UNLOCK_FAILED error bit is set in the card status
register and the card retains all of its data, and remains locked.

An attempt to use a force erase on an unlocked card fails and the LOCK_UNLOCK_FAILED
error bit is set in the card status register.

SD I/O mode
SD I/O interrupts
To allow the SD I/O card to interrupt the MultiMediaCard/SD module, an interrupt function is
available on a pin on the SD interface. Pin 8, used as SDMMC_D1 when operating in the 4bit SD mode, signals the cards interrupt to the MultiMediaCard/SD module. The use of the
interrupt is optional for each card or function within a card. The SD I/O interrupt is levelsensitive, which means that the interrupt line must be held active (low) until it is either
recognized and acted upon by the MultiMediaCard/SD module or deasserted due to the end
of the interrupt period. After the MultiMediaCard/SD module has serviced the interrupt, the
interrupt status bit is cleared via an I/O write to the appropriate bit in the SD I/O card’s
internal registers. The interrupt output of all SD I/O cards is active low and the application
must provide pull-up resistors externally on all data lines (SDMMC_D[3:0]). The
MultiMediaCard/SD module samples the level of pin 8 (SDMMC_D/IRQ) into the interrupt
detector only during the interrupt period. At all other times, the MultiMediaCard/SD module
ignores this value.
The interrupt period is applicable for both memory and I/O operations. The definition of the
interrupt period for operations with single blocks is different from the definition for multipleblock data transfers.

SD I/O suspend and resume
Within a multifunction SD I/O or a card with both I/O and memory functions, there are
multiple devices (I/O and memory) that share access to the MMC/SD bus. To share access
to the MMC/SD module among multiple devices, SD I/O and combo cards optionally
implement the concept of suspend/resume. When a card supports suspend/resume, the
MMC/SD module can temporarily halt a data transfer operation to one function or memory
(suspend) to free the bus for a higher-priority transfer to a different function or memory. After
this higher-priority transfer is complete, the original transfer is resumed (restarted) where it
left off. Support of suspend/resume is optional on a per-card basis. To perform the
suspend/resume operation on the MMC/SD bus, the MMC/SD module performs the
following steps:
1.

Determines the function currently using the SDMMC_D [3:0] line(s)

2.

Requests the lower-priority or slower transaction to suspend

3.

Waits for the transaction suspension to complete

4.

Begins the higher-priority transaction

5.

Waits for the completion of the higher priority transaction

6.

Restores the suspended transaction

SD I/O ReadWait
The optional ReadWait (RW) operation is defined only for the SD 1-bit and 4-bit modes. The
ReadWait operation allows the MMC/SD module to signal a card that it is reading multiple

1268/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

SD/SDIO/MMC card host interface (SDMMC)
registers (IO_RW_EXTENDED, CMD53) to temporarily stall the data transfer while allowing
the MMC/SD module to send commands to any function within the SD I/O device. To
determine when a card supports the ReadWait protocol, the MMC/SD module must test
capability bits in the internal card registers. The timing for ReadWait is based on the
interrupt period.

35.4.14

Commands and responses
Application-specific and general commands
The SDMMC card host module system is designed to provide a standard interface for a
variety of applications types. In this environment, there is a need for specific
customer/application features. To implement these features, two types of generic
commands are defined in the standard: application-specific commands (ACMD) and general
commands (GEN_CMD).
When the card receives the APP_CMD (CMD55) command, the card expects the next
command to be an application-specific command. ACMDs have the same structure as
regular MultiMediaCard commands and can have the same CMD number. The card
recognizes it as ACMD because it appears after APP_CMD (CMD55). When the command
immediately following the APP_CMD (CMD55) is not a defined application-specific
command, the standard command is used. For example, when the card has a definition for
SD_STATUS (ACMD13), and receives CMD13 immediately following APP_CMD (CMD55),
this is interpreted as SD_STATUS (ACMD13). However, when the card receives CMD7
immediately following APP_CMD (CMD55) and the card does not have a definition for
ACMD7, this is interpreted as the standard (SELECT/DESELECT_CARD) CMD7.
To use one of the manufacturer-specific ACMDs the SD card Host must perform the
following steps:
1.

Send APP_CMD (CMD55)
The card responds to the MultiMediaCard/SD module, indicating that the APP_CMD bit
is set and an ACMD is now expected.

2.

Send the required ACMD
The card responds to the MultiMediaCard/SD module, indicating that the APP_CMD bit
is set and that the accepted command is interpreted as an ACMD. When a nonACMD
is sent, it is handled by the card as a normal MultiMediaCard command and the
APP_CMD bit in the card status register stays clear.

When an invalid command is sent (neither ACMD nor CMD) it is handled as a standard
MultiMediaCard illegal command error.
The bus transaction for a GEN_CMD is the same as the single-block read or write
commands (WRITE_BLOCK, CMD24 or READ_SINGLE_BLOCK,CMD17). In this case, the
argument denotes the direction of the data transfer rather than the address, and the data
block has vendor-specific format and meaning.
The card must be selected (in transfer state) before sending GEN_CMD (CMD56). The data
block size is defined by SET_BLOCKLEN (CMD16). The response to GEN_CMD (CMD56)
is in R1b format.

Command types
Both application-specific and general commands are divided into the four following types:
•

broadcast command (BC): sent to all cards; no responses returned.

•

broadcast command with response (BCR): sent to all cards; responses received
from all cards simultaneously.

•

addressed (point-to-point) command (AC): sent to the card that is selected; does
not include a data transfer on the SDMMC_D line(s).

•

addressed (point-to-point) data transfer command (ADTC): sent to the card that is
selected; includes a data transfer on the SDMMC_D line(s).

SET_BLOCK_LEN command.

Response formats
All responses are sent via the SDMMC command line SDMMC_CMD. The response
transmission always starts with the left bit of the bit string corresponding to the response
code word. The code length depends on the response type.
A response always starts with a start bit (always 0), followed by the bit indicating the
direction of transmission (card = 0). A value denoted by x in the tables below indicates a
variable entry. All responses, except for the R3 response type, are protected by a CRC.
Every command code word is terminated by the end bit (always 1).
There are five types of responses. Their formats are defined as follows:

Once an SD I/O card has received a CMD5, the I/O portion of that card is enabled to
respond normally to all further commands. This I/O enable of the function within the I/O card
will remain set until a reset, power cycle or CMD52 with write to I/O reset is received by the
card. Note that an SD memory-only card may respond to a CMD5. The proper response for
a memory-only card would be Present memory = 1 and Number of I/O functions = 0. A
memory-only card built to meet the SD Memory Card specification version 1.0 would detect
the CMD5 as an illegal command and not respond. The I/O aware host will send CMD5. If
the card responds with response R4, the host determines the card’s configuration based on
the data contained within the R4 response.

SDIO I/O card-specific operations
The following features are SD I/O-specific operations:
•

SDIO read wait operation by SDMMC_D2 signalling

•

SDIO read wait operation by stopping the clock

•

SDIO suspend/resume operation (write and read suspend)

•

SDIO interrupts

The SDMMC supports these operations only if the SDMMC_DCTRL[11] bit is set, except for
read suspend that does not need specific hardware implementation.

35.6.1

SDIO I/O read wait operation by SDMMC_D2 signalling
It is possible to start the readwait interval before the first block is received: when the data
path is enabled (SDMMC_DCTRL[0] bit set), the SDIO-specific operation is enabled
(SDMMC_DCTRL[11] bit set), read wait starts (SDMMC_DCTRL[10] =0 and
SDMMC_DCTRL[8] =1) and data direction is from card to SDMMC (SDMMC_DCTRL[1] =
1), the DPSM directly moves from Idle to Readwait. In Readwait the DPSM drives
SDMMC_D2 to 0 after 2 SDMMC_CK clock cycles. In this state, when you set the RWSTOP
bit (SDMMC_DCTRL[9]), the DPSM remains in Wait for two more SDMMC_CK clock cycles
to drive SDMMC_D2 to 1 for one clock cycle (in accordance with SDIO specification). The
DPSM then starts waiting again until it receives data from the card. The DPSM will not start
a readwait interval while receiving a block even if read wait start is set: the readwait interval
will start after the CRC is received. The RWSTOP bit has to be cleared to start a new read
wait operation. During the readwait interval, the SDMMC can detect SDIO interrupts on
SDMMC_D1.

1276/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

35.6.2

SD/SDIO/MMC card host interface (SDMMC)

SDIO read wait operation by stopping SDMMC_CK
If the SDIO card does not support the previous read wait method, the SDMMC can perform
a read wait by stopping SDMMC_CK (SDMMC_DCTRL is set just like in the method
presented in Section 35.6.1, but SDMMC_DCTRL[10] =1): DSPM stops the clock two
SDMMC_CK cycles after the end bit of the current received block and starts the clock again
after the read wait start bit is set.
As SDMMC_CK is stopped, any command can be issued to the card. During a read/wait
interval, the SDMMC can detect SDIO interrupts on SDMMC_D1.

35.6.3

SDIO suspend/resume operation
While sending data to the card, the SDMMC can suspend the write operation. the
SDMMC_CMD[11] bit is set and indicates to the CPSM that the current command is a
suspend command. The CPSM analyzes the response and when the ACK is received from
the card (suspend accepted), it acknowledges the DPSM that goes Idle after receiving the
CRC token of the current block.
The hardware does not save the number of the remaining block to be sent to complete the
suspended operation (resume).
The write operation can be suspended by software, just by disabling the DPSM
(SDMMC_DCTRL[0] =0) when the ACK of the suspend command is received from the card.
The DPSM enters then the Idle state.
To suspend a read: the DPSM waits in the Wait_r state as the function to be suspended
sends a complete packet just before stopping the data transaction. The application
continues reading RxFIFO until the FIF0 is empty, and the DPSM goes Idle automatically.

35.6.4

SDIO interrupts
SDIO interrupts are detected on the SDMMC_D1 line once the SDMMC_DCTRL[11] bit is
set.
When SDIO interrupt is detected, SDMMC_STA[22] (SDIOIT) bit is set. This static bit can be
cleared with clear bit SDMMC_ICR[22] (SDIOITC). An interrupt can be generated when
SDIOIT status bit is set. Separated interrupt enable SDMMC_MASK[22] bit (SDIOITE) is
available to enable and disable interrupt request.
When SD card interrupt occurs (SDMMC_STA[22] bit set), host software follows below
steps to handle it.
1.

Disable SDIOIT interrupt signaling by clearing SDIOITE bit (SDMMC_MASK[22] = ‘0’),

2.

Serve card interrupt request, and clear the source of interrupt on the SD card,

3.

Clear SDIOIT bit by writing ‘1’ to SDIOITC bit (SDMMC_ICR[22] = ‘1’),

4.

Enable SDIOIT interrupt signaling by writing ‘1’ to SDIOITE bit (SDMMC_MASK[22] =
‘1’).

Steps 2 to 4 can be executed out of the SDIO interrupt service routine.

35.7

HW flow control
The HW flow control functionality is used to avoid FIFO underrun (TX mode) and overrun
(RX mode) errors.

RM0385 Rev 8

1277/1724
1294

SD/SDIO/MMC card host interface (SDMMC)

RM0385

The behavior is to stop SDMMC_CK and freeze SDMMC state machines. The data transfer
is stalled while the FIFO is unable to transmit or receive data. Only state machines clocked
by SDMMCCLK are frozen, the APB2 interface is still alive. The FIFO can thus be filled or
emptied even if flow control is activated.
To enable HW flow control, the SDMMC_CLKCR[14] register bit must be set to 1. After reset
Flow Control is disabled.

35.8

The device communicates to the system via 32-bit-wide control registers accessible via
APB2.

Bit 8 WAITINT: CPSM waits for interrupt request
If this bit is set, the CPSM disables command timeout and waits for an interrupt request.
Bits 7:6 WAITRESP: Wait for response bits
They are used to configure whether the CPSM is to wait for a response, and if yes, which
kind of response.
00: No response, expect CMDSENT flag
01: Short response, expect CMDREND or CCRCFAIL flag
10: No response, expect CMDSENT flag
11: Long response, expect CMDREND or CCRCFAIL flag
Bits 5:0 CMDINDEX: Command index
The command index is sent to the card as part of a command message.

Note:

1

After a data write, data cannot be written to this register for three SDMMCCLK clock periods
plus two PCLK2 clock periods.

2

MultiMediaCards can send two kinds of response: short responses, 48 bits long, or long
responses,136 bits long. SD card and SD I/O card can send only short responses, the
argument can vary according to the type of response: the software will distinguish the type
of response according to the sent command.

The SDMMC_RESPCMD register contains the command index field of the last command
response received. If the command response transmission does not contain the command
index field (long or OCR response), the RESPCMD field is unknown, although it must
contain 111111b (the value of the reserved field from the response).

The SDMMC_DTIMER register contains the data timeout period, in card bus clock periods.
A counter loads the value from the SDMMC_DTIMER register, and starts decrementing
when the data path state machine (DPSM) enters the Wait_R or Busy state. If the timer
reaches 0 while the DPSM is in either of these states, the timeout status flag is set.

Note:

For a block data transfer, the value in the data length register must be a multiple of the block
size (see SDMMC_DCTRL). Before being written to the data control register a timeout must
be written to the data timer register and the data length register.
In case of IO_RW_EXTENDED (CMD53):
- If the Stream or SDIO multibyte data transfer is selected the value in the data length
register must be between 1 and 512.
- If the Block data transfer is selected the value in the data length register must be between

Data transfer starts if 1b is written to the DTEN bit. Depending on the direction bit, DTDIR,
the DPSM moves to the Wait_S, Wait_R state or Readwait if RW Start is set immediately at
the beginning of the transfer. It is not necessary to clear the enable bit after the end of a data
transfer but the SDMMC_DCTRL must be updated to enable a new data transfer

Note:

SD/SDIO/MMC card host interface (SDMMC)
After a data write, data cannot be written to this register for three SDMMCCLK (48 MHz)
clock periods plus two PCLK2 clock periods.
The meaning of the DTMODE bit changes according to the value of the SDIOEN bit. When
SDIOEN=0 and DTMODE=1, the MultiMediaCard stream mode is enabled, and when
SDIOEN=1 and DTMODE=1, the peripheral enables an SDIO multibyte transfer.

The SDMMC_DCOUNT register loads the value from the data length register (see
SDMMC_DLEN) when the DPSM moves from the Idle state to the Wait_R or Wait_S state.
As data is transferred, the counter decrements the value until it reaches 0. The DPSM then
moves to the Idle state and the data status end flag, DATAEND, is set.

•

Static flags (bits [23:22,10:0]): these bits remain asserted until they are cleared by
writing to the SDMMC Interrupt Clear register (see SDMMC_ICR)

•

Dynamic flags (bits [21:11]): these bits change state depending on the state of the
underlying logic (for example, FIFO full and empty flags are asserted and deasserted
as data while written to the FIFO)

SDMMC FIFO counter register (SDMMC_FIFOCNT)
Address offset: 0x48
Reset value: 0x0000 0000
The SDMMC_FIFOCNT register contains the remaining number of words to be written to or
read from the FIFO. The FIFO counter loads the value from the data length register (see
SDMMC_DLEN) when the data transfer enable bit, DTEN, is set in the data control register
(SDMMC_DCTRL register) and the DPSM is at the Idle state. If the data length is not wordaligned (multiple of 4), the remaining 1 to 3 bytes are regarded as a word.

Controller area network (bxCAN)

36.1

Introduction
The Basic Extended CAN peripheral, named bxCAN, interfaces the CAN network. It
supports the CAN protocols version 2.0A and B. It has been designed to manage a high
number of incoming messages efficiently with a minimum CPU load. It also meets the
priority requirements for transmit messages.
For safety-critical applications, the CAN controller provides all hardware functions for
supporting the CAN Time Triggered Communication option.

bxCAN general description
In today 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
(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.

36.3.1

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.

36.3.2

Control, status and configuration registers
The application uses these registers to:

36.3.3

•

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.

1296/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Acceptance filters
The bxCAN provides up to 28 scalable/configurable identifier filter banks in dual CAN
configuration, for selecting the incoming messages, that 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.

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.

36.4.1

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).

36.4.2

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.
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.

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

36.4.3

Controller area network (bxCAN)

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 443: bxCAN operating modes. The Sleep mode is exited
once the SLAK bit has been cleared by hardware.

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.

36.5.1

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).

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.

Controller area network (bxCAN)
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.

36.5.3

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®-M7 core halted), the bxCAN
continues to work normally or stops, depending on:
•

the DBG_CAN1_STOP bit for CAN1 or the DBG_CAN2_STOP bit for CAN2 in the
DBG module for the dual mode.

•

the DBF bit in CAN_MCR. For more details, refer to Section 36.9.2: CAN control and
status registers.

bxCAN functional description

36.7.1

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

RM0385 Rev 8

1301/1724
1339

Controller area network (bxCAN)

RM0385

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
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.

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 36.7.7: Bit timing). The internal counter is captured on the sample point of the Start
Of Frame bit in both reception and transmission.

36.7.3

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 36.7.4: Identifier filtering.

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 36.7.5: Message storage

1304/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Controller area network (bxCAN)

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.

36.7.4

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 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 449.
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”.

RM0385 Rev 8

1305/1724
1339

Controller area network (bxCAN)

RM0385

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 449. 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 449.

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.

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:

1308/1724

•

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.

36.7.5

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.

Controller area network (bxCAN)

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,
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.

36.7.7

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.

RM0385 Rev 8

1311/1724
1339

Controller area network (bxCAN)

RM0385

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, refer to
the ISO 11898 standard.

The transmit interrupt can be generated by the following events:
–

Transmit mailbox 0 becomes empty, RQCP0 bit in the CAN_TSR register set.

–

Transmit mailbox 1 becomes empty, RQCP1 bit in the CAN_TSR register set.

–

Transmit mailbox 2 becomes empty, RQCP2 bit in the CAN_TSR register set.

The FIFO 0 interrupt can be generated by the following events:
–

Reception of a new message, FMP0 bits in the CAN_RF0R register are not ‘00’.

–

FIFO0 full condition, FULL0 bit in the CAN_RF0R register set.

–

FIFO0 overrun condition, FOVR0 bit in the CAN_RF0R register set.

The FIFO 1 interrupt can be generated by the following events:
–

Reception of a new message, FMP1 bits in the CAN_RF1R register are not ‘00’.

–

FIFO1 full condition, FULL1 bit in the CAN_RF1R register set.

–

FIFO1 overrun condition, FOVR1 bit in the CAN_RF1R register set.

The error and status change interrupt can be generated by the following events:
–

Error condition, for more details on error conditions refer to the CAN Error Status
register (CAN_ESR).

–

Wakeup condition, SOF monitored on the CAN Rx signal.

–

Entry into Sleep mode.

CAN registers
The peripheral registers have to be accessed by words (32 bits).

36.9.1

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 447: 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.

36.9.2

CAN control and status registers
Refer to Section 1.2 for a list of abbreviations used in register descriptions.

Bit 3 RFLM: Receive FIFO locked mode
0: Receive FIFO not locked on overrun. Once a receive FIFO is full the next incoming
message will overwrite the previous one.
1: Receive FIFO locked against overrun. Once a receive FIFO is full the next incoming
message will be discarded.
Bit 2 TXFP: Transmit FIFO priority
This bit controls the transmission order when several mailboxes are pending at the same
time.
0: Priority driven by the identifier of the message
1: Priority driven by the request order (chronologically)
Bit 1 SLEEP: Sleep mode request
This bit is set by software to request the CAN hardware to enter the Sleep mode. Sleep
mode will be entered as soon as the current CAN activity (transmission or reception of a
CAN frame) has been completed.
This bit is cleared by software to exit Sleep mode.
This bit is cleared by hardware when the AWUM bit is set and a SOF bit is detected on the
CAN Rx signal.
This bit is set after reset - CAN starts in Sleep mode.
Bit 0 INRQ: Initialization request
The software clears this bit to switch the hardware into normal mode. Once 11 consecutive
recessive bits have been monitored on the Rx signal the CAN hardware is synchronized and
ready for transmission and reception. Hardware signals this event by clearing the INAK bit in
the CAN_MSR register.
Software sets this bit to request the CAN hardware to enter initialization mode. Once
software has set the INRQ bit, the CAN hardware waits until the current CAN activity
(transmission or reception) is completed before entering the initialization mode. Hardware
signals this event by setting the INAK bit in the CAN_MSR register.

The CAN hardware is currently transmitter.
Bits 7:5 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bit 4 SLAKI: Sleep acknowledge interrupt
When SLKIE=1, this bit is set by hardware to signal that the bxCAN has entered Sleep
Mode. When set, this bit generates a status change interrupt if the SLKIE bit in the
CAN_IER register is set.
This bit is cleared by software or by hardware, when SLAK is cleared.
Note: When SLKIE=0, no polling on SLAKI is possible. In this case the SLAK bit can be
polled.
Bit 3 WKUI: Wakeup interrupt
This bit is set by hardware to signal that a SOF bit has been detected while the CAN
hardware was in Sleep mode. Setting this bit generates a status change interrupt if the
WKUIE bit in the CAN_IER register is set.
This bit is cleared by software.
Bit 2 ERRI: Error interrupt
This bit is set by hardware when a bit of the CAN_ESR has been set on error detection and
the corresponding interrupt in the CAN_IER is enabled. Setting this bit generates a status
change interrupt if the ERRIE bit in the CAN_IER register is set.
This bit is cleared by software.
Bit 1 SLAK: Sleep acknowledge
This bit is set by hardware and indicates to the software that the CAN hardware is now in
Sleep mode. This bit acknowledges the Sleep mode request from the software (set SLEEP
bit in CAN_MCR register).
This bit is cleared by hardware when the CAN hardware has left Sleep mode (to be
synchronized on the CAN bus). To be synchronized the hardware has to monitor a
sequence of 11 consecutive recessive bits on the CAN RX signal.
Note: The process of leaving Sleep mode is triggered when the SLEEP bit in the CAN_MCR
register is cleared. Refer to the AWUM bit of the CAN_MCR register description for
detailed information for clearing SLEEP bit
Bit 0 INAK: Initialization acknowledge
This bit is set by hardware and indicates to the software that the CAN hardware is now in
initialization mode. This bit acknowledges the initialization request from the software (set
INRQ bit in CAN_MCR 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

Bit 2 BOFF: Bus-off flag
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 36.7.6 on page 1311.
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 chapter describes the registers of the transmit and receive mailboxes. Refer to
Section 36.7.5: Message storage on page 1309 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: Do not 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 36.7.4: Identifier filtering on page 1305.
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 refer to Table 255 on page 1336.

OTG core
The USB OTG receives the 48 MHz clock from the reset and clock controller (RCC). The
USB clock is used for driving the 48 MHz domain at full-speed (12 Mbit/s) and must be
enabled prior to configuring the OTG core.
The CPU reads and writes from/to the OTG core registers through the AHB peripheral bus.
It is informed of USB events through the single USB OTG interrupt line described in
Section 37.13: OTG_FS/OTG_HS interrupts.
The CPU submits data over the USB by writing 32-bit words to dedicated OTG locations
(push registers). The data are then automatically stored into Tx-data FIFOs configured
within the USB data RAM. There is one Tx FIFO push register for each in-endpoint
(peripheral mode) or out-channel (host mode).
The CPU receives the data from the USB by reading 32-bit words from dedicated OTG
addresses (pop registers). The data are then automatically retrieved from a shared Rx FIFO
configured within the 1.25[FS] / 4[HS]-Kbyte USB data RAM. There is one Rx FIFO pop
register for each out-endpoint or in-channel.
The USB protocol layer is driven by the serial interface engine (SIE) and serialized over the
USB by the transceiver module within the on-chip physical layer (PHY) or external HS PHY.

37.4.4

Full-speed OTG PHY(a)
The embedded full-speed OTG PHY is controlled by the OTG FS core and conveys USB
control & data signals through the full-speed subset of the UTMI+ Bus (UTMIFS). It provides

the physical support to USB connectivity.
The full-speed OTG PHY includes the following components:
•

FS/LS transceiver module used by both host and device. It directly drives transmission
and reception on the single-ended USB lines.

•

Integrated ID pull-up resistor used to sample the ID line for A/B device identification.

•

DP/DM integrated pull-up and pull-down resistors controlled by the OTG_FS core
depending on the current role of the device. As a peripheral, it enables the DP pull-up
resistor to signal full-speed peripheral connections as soon as VBUS is sensed to be at
a valid level (B-session valid). In host mode, pull-down resistors are enabled on both
DP/DM. Pull-up and pull-down resistors are dynamically switched when the role of the
device is changed via the host negotiation protocol (HNP).

•

Pull-up/pull-down resistor ECN circuit. The DP pull-up consists of two resistors
controlled separately from the OTG_FS as per the resistor Engineering Change Notice
applied to USB Rev2.0. The dynamic trimming of the DP pull-up strength allows for
better noise rejection and Tx/Rx signal quality.

•

VBUS sensing comparators with hysteresis used to detect VBUS valid, A-B session valid
and session-end voltage thresholds. They are used to drive the session request
protocol (SRP), detect valid startup and end-of-session conditions, and constantly
monitor the VBUS supply during USB operations.

•

VBUS pulsing method circuit used to charge/discharge VBUS through resistors during
the SRP (weak drive).

Caution:

To guarantee a correct operation for the USB OTG FS peripheral, the AHB frequency should
be higher than 14.2 MHz.

2. STMPS2141STR needed only if the application has to support a VBUS powered device. A basic power
switch can be used if 5 V are available on the application board.

37.5.1

ID line detection
The host or peripheral (the default) role is assumed depending on the ID input pin. The ID
line status is determined on plugging in the USB cable, depending on whether a MicroA or
MicroB plug is connected to the micro-AB receptacle.
•

If the B-side of the USB cable is connected with a floating ID wire, the integrated pullup resistor detects a high ID level and the default peripheral role is confirmed. In this
configuration the OTG_FS/OTG_HS complies with the standard FSM described in
section 4.2.4: ID pin of the On-the-Go specification Rev2.0, supplement to the USB2.0.

•

If the A-side of the USB cable is connected with a grounded ID, the OTG_FS/OTG_HS
issues an ID line status change interrupt (CIDSCHG bit in OTG_GINTSTS) for host
software initialization, and automatically switches to the host role. In this configuration
the OTG_FS/OTG_HS complies with the standard FSM described by section 4.2.4: ID
pin of the On-the-Go specification Rev2.0, supplement to the USB2.0.

HNP dual role device
The HNP capable bit in the Global USB configuration register (HNPCAP bit in OTG_
GUSBCFG) enables the OTG_FS/OTG_HS core to dynamically change its role from A-host
to A-peripheral and vice-versa, or from B-Peripheral to B-host and vice-versa according to
the host negotiation protocol (HNP). The current device status can be read by the combined
values of the connector ID status bit in the Global OTG control and status register (CIDSTS
bit in OTG_GOTGCTL) and the current mode of operation bit in the global interrupt and
status register (CMOD bit in OTG_GINTSTS).
The HNP program model is described in detail in Section 37.16: OTG_FS/OTG_HS
programming model.

37.5.3

SRP dual role device
The SRP capable bit in the global USB configuration register (SRPCAP bit in
OTG_GUSBCFG) enables the OTG_FS/OTG_HS core to switch off the generation of VBUS
for the A-device to save power. Note that the A-device is always in charge of driving VBUS
regardless of the host or peripheral role of the OTG_FS/OTG_HS.
The SRP A/B-device program model is described in detail in Section 37.16:
OTG_FS/OTG_HS programming model.

USB peripheral
This section gives the functional description of the OTG_FS/OTG_HS in the USB peripheral
mode. The OTG_FS/OTG_HS works as an USB peripheral in the following circumstances:

If the ID line is present, functional and connected to the B-side of the USB cable,
and the HNP-capable bit in the Global USB Configuration register (HNPCAP bit in
OTG_GUSBCFG) is cleared.

The force device mode bit (FDMOD) in the Section 37.15.4: OTG USB
configuration register (OTG_GUSBCFG) is set to 1, forcing the OTG_FS/OTG_HS
core to work as an USB peripheral-only. In this case, the ID line is ignored even if
it is present on the USB connector.

To build a bus-powered device implementation in case of the B-device or peripheral-only
configuration, an external regulator has to be added, that generates the necessary powersupply from VBUS.

1. Use a regulator to build a bus-powered device.

37.6.1

SRP-capable peripheral
The SRP capable bit in the Global USB configuration register (SRPCAP bit in
OTG_GUSBCFG) enables the OTG_FS/OTG_HS to support the session request protocol
(SRP). In this way, it allows the remote A-device to save power by switching off VBUS while
the USB session is suspended.
The SRP peripheral mode program model is described in detail in the B-device session
request protocol section.

37.6.2

Peripheral states
Powered state
The VBUS input detects the B-session valid voltage by which the USB peripheral is allowed
to enter the powered state (see USB2.0 section 9.1). The OTG_FS/OTG_HS then
automatically connects the DP pull-up resistor to signal full-speed device connection to the
host and generates the session request interrupt (SRQINT bit in OTG_GINTSTS) to notify
the powered state.
The VBUS input also ensures that valid VBUS levels are supplied by the host during USB
operations. If a drop in VBUS below B-session valid happens to be detected (for instance
because of a power disturbance or if the host port has been switched off), the
OTG_FS/OTG_HS automatically disconnects and the session end detected (SEDET bit in
OTG_GOTGINT) interrupt is generated to notify that the OTG_FS/OTG_HS has exited the
powered state.
In the powered state, the OTG_FS/OTG_HS expects to receive some reset signaling from
the host. No other USB operation is possible. When a reset signaling is received the reset
detected interrupt (USBRST in OTG_GINTSTS) is generated. When the reset signaling is
complete, the enumeration done interrupt (ENUMDNE bit in OTG_GINTSTS) is generated
and the OTG_FS/OTG_HS enters the Default state.

USB on-the-go full-speed/high-speed (OTG_FS/OTG_HS)

RM0385

Soft disconnect
The powered state can be exited by software with the soft disconnect feature. The DP pullup resistor is removed by setting the soft disconnect bit in the device control register (SDIS
bit in OTG_DCTL), causing a device disconnect detection interrupt on the host side even
though the USB cable was not really removed from the host port.

Default state
In the Default state the OTG_FS/OTG_HS expects to receive a SET_ADDRESS command
from the host. No other USB operation is possible. When a valid SET_ADDRESS command
is decoded on the USB, the application writes the corresponding number into the device
address field in the device configuration register (DAD bit in OTG_DCFG). The
OTG_FS/OTG_HS then enters the address state and is ready to answer host transactions
at the configured USB address.

Suspended state
The OTG_FS/OTG_HS peripheral constantly monitors the USB activity. After counting 3 ms
of USB idleness, the early suspend interrupt (ESUSP bit in OTG_GINTSTS) is issued, and
confirmed 3 ms later, if appropriate, by the suspend interrupt (USBSUSP bit in
OTG_GINTSTS). The device suspend bit is then automatically set in the device status
register (SUSPSTS bit in OTG_DSTS) and the OTG_FS/OTG_HS enters the suspended
state.
The suspended state may optionally be exited by the device itself. In this case the
application sets the remote wakeup signaling bit in the device control register (RWUSIG bit
in OTG_DCTL) and clears it after 1 to 15 ms.
When a resume signaling is detected from the host, the resume interrupt (WKUPINT bit in
OTG_GINTSTS) is generated and the device suspend bit is automatically cleared.

37.6.3

Peripheral endpoints
The OTG_FS/OTG_HS core instantiates the following USB endpoints:
•

•

1352/1724

Control endpoint 0:
–

Bidirectional and handles control messages only

–

Separate set of registers to handle in and out transactions

–

Proper control (OTG_DIEPCTL0/OTG_DOEPCTL0), transfer configuration
(OTG_DIEPTSIZ0/OTG_DOEPTSIZ0), and status-interrupt
(OTG_DIEPINT0/)OTG_DOEPINT0) registers. The available set of bits inside the
control and transfer size registers slightly differs from that of other endpoints

5[FS] / 8[HS] IN endpoints

Each of them can be configured to support the isochronous, bulk or interrupt
transfer type

available to enable/disable a single kind of endpoint interrupt source on all of the
IN endpoints (EP0 included)

–

Support for incomplete isochronous IN transfer interrupt (IISOIXFR bit in
OTG_GINTSTS), asserted when there is at least one isochronous IN endpoint on

RM0385

USB on-the-go full-speed/high-speed (OTG_FS/OTG_HS)
which the transfer is not completed in the current frame. This interrupt is asserted
along with the end of periodic frame interrupt (OTG_GINTSTS/EOPF).
•

5[FS] / 8[HS] OUT endpoints
–

Each of them can be configured to support the isochronous, bulk or interrupt
transfer type

–

Each of them has a proper control (OTG_DOEPCTLx), transfer configuration
(OTG_DOEPTSIZx) and status-interrupt (OTG_DOEPINTx) register

–

Device OUT endpoints common interrupt mask register (OTG_DOEPMSK) is
available to enable/disable a single kind of endpoint interrupt source on all of the
OUT endpoints (EP0 included)

–

Support for incomplete isochronous OUT transfer interrupt (INCOMPISOOUT bit
in OTG_GINTSTS), asserted when there is at least one isochronous OUT
endpoint on which the transfer is not completed in the current frame. This interrupt
is asserted along with the end of periodic frame interrupt (OTG_GINTSTS/EOPF).

Endpoint control
•

The following endpoint controls are available to the application through the device
endpoint-x IN/OUT control register (OTG_DIEPCTLx/OTG_DOEPCTLx):
–

Endpoint enable/disable

–

Endpoint activate in current configuration

–

Program USB transfer type (isochronous, bulk, interrupt)

–

Program supported packet size

–

Program Tx FIFO number associated with the IN endpoint

–

Program the expected or transmitted data0/data1 PID (bulk/interrupt only)

–

Program the even/odd frame during which the transaction is received or
transmitted (isochronous only)

–

Optionally program the NAK bit to always negative-acknowledge the host
regardless of the FIFO status

–

Optionally program the STALL bit to always stall host tokens to that endpoint

–

Optionally program the SNOOP mode for OUT endpoint not to check the CRC
field of received data

Endpoint transfer
The device endpoint-x transfer size registers (OTG_DIEPTSIZx/OTG_DOEPTSIZx) allow
the application to program the transfer size parameters and read the transfer status.
Programming must be done before setting the endpoint enable bit in the endpoint control
register. Once the endpoint is enabled, these fields are read-only as the OTG_FS/OTG_HS
core updates them with the current transfer status.
The following transfer parameters can be programmed:
•

Transfer size in bytes

•

Number of packets that constitute the overall transfer size

Endpoint status/interrupt
The device endpoint-x interrupt registers (OTG_DIEPINTx/OTG_DOPEPINTx) indicate the
status of an endpoint with respect to USB- and AHB-related events. The application must
read these registers when the OUT endpoint interrupt bit or the IN endpoint interrupt bit in

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

the core interrupt register (OEPINT bit in OTG_GINTSTS or IEPINT bit in OTG_GINTSTS,
respectively) is set. Before the application can read these registers, it must first read the
device all endpoints interrupt (OTG_DAINT) register to get the exact endpoint number for
the device endpoint-x interrupt register. The application must clear the appropriate bit in this
register to clear the corresponding bits in the OTG_DAINT and OTG_GINTSTS registers
The peripheral core provides the following status checks and interrupt generation:

37.7

•

Transfer completed interrupt, indicating that data transfer was completed on both the
application (AHB) and USB sides

•

Setup stage has been done (control-out only)

•

Associated transmit FIFO is half or completely empty (in endpoints)

•

NAK acknowledge has been transmitted to the host (isochronous-in only)

•

IN token received when Tx FIFO was empty (bulk-in/interrupt-in only)

•

Out token received when endpoint was not yet enabled

•

Babble error condition has been detected

•

Endpoint disable by application is effective

•

Endpoint NAK by application is effective (isochronous-in only)

•

More than 3 back-to-back setup packets were received (control-out only)

•

Timeout condition detected (control-in only)

•

Isochronous out packet has been dropped, without generating an interrupt

USB host
This section gives the functional description of the OTG_FS/OTG_HS in the USB host
mode. The OTG_FS/OTG_HS works as a USB host in the following circumstances:
•

OTG A-host
–

•

•

1354/1724

OTG B-device after HNP switching to the host role
If the ID line is present, functional and connected to the A-side of the USB cable,
and the HNP-capable bit is cleared in the Global USB Configuration register
(HNPCAP bit in OTG_GUSBCFG). Integrated pull-down resistors are
automatically set on the DP/DM lines.

Host only
–

Note:

OTG A-device default state when the A-side of the USB cable is plugged in

The force host mode bit (FHMOD) in the OTG USB configuration register
(OTG_GUSBCFG) forces the OTG_FS/OTG_HS core to work as a USB host-only.
In this case, the ID line is ignored even if present on the USB connector.
Integrated pull-down resistors are automatically set on the DP/DM lines.

On-chip 5 V VBUS generation is not supported. For this reason, a charge pump or, if 5 V are
available on the application board, a basic power switch must be added externally to drive
the 5 V VBUS line. The external charge pump can be driven by any GPIO output. This is
required for the OTG A-host, A-device and host-only configurations.

37.7.1

SRP-capable host
SRP support is available through the SRP capable bit in the global USB configuration
register (SRPCAP bit in OTG_GUSBCFG). With the SRP feature enabled, the host can
save power by switching off the VBUS power while the USB session is suspended.
The SRP host mode program model is described in detail in the A-device session request
protocol) section.

37.7.2

USB host states
Host port power
On-chip 5 V VBUS generation is not supported. For this reason, a charge pump or, if 5 V are
available on the application board, a basic power switch, must be added externally to drive
the 5 V VBUS line. The external charge pump can be driven by any GPIO output or via an
I2C interface connected to an external PMIC (power management IC). When the application
decides to power on VBUS, it must also set the port power bit in the host port control and
status register (PPWR bit in OTG_HPRT).

VBUS valid
When HNP or SRP is enabled the VBUS sensing pin should be connected to VBUS. The
VBUS input ensures that valid VBUS levels are supplied by the charge pump during USB
operations. Any unforeseen VBUS voltage drop below the VBUS valid threshold (4.4 V) leads
to an OTG interrupt triggered by the session end detected bit (SEDET bit in
OTG_GOTGINT). The application is then required to remove the VBUS power and clear the
port power bit.
When HNP and SRP are both disabled, the VBUS sensing pin does not need to be
connected to VBUS.
The charge pump overcurrent flag can also be used to prevent electrical damage. Connect
the overcurrent flag output from the charge pump to any GPIO input and configure it to
generate a port interrupt on the active level. The overcurrent ISR must promptly disable the
VBUS generation and clear the port power bit.

RM0385

Host detection of a peripheral connection
If SRP or HNP are enabled, even if USB peripherals or B-devices can be attached at any
time, the OTG_FS/OTG_HS will not detect any bus connection until VBUS is no longer
sensed at a valid level (5 V). When VBUS is at a valid level and a remote B-device is
attached, the OTG_FS/OTG_HS core issues a host port interrupt triggered by the device
connected bit in the host port control and status register (PCDET bit in OTG_HPRT).
When HNP and SRP are both disabled, USB peripherals or B-device are detected as soon
as they are connected. The OTG_FS/OTG_HS core issues a host port interrupt triggered by
the device connected bit in the host port control and status (PCDET bit in OTG_HPRT).

Host detection of peripheral a disconnection
The peripheral disconnection event triggers the disconnect detected interrupt (DISCINT bit
in OTG_GINTSTS).

Host enumeration
After detecting a peripheral connection the host must start the enumeration process by
sending USB reset and configuration commands to the new peripheral.
Before starting to drive a USB reset, the application waits for the OTG interrupt triggered by
the debounce done bit (DBCDNE bit in OTG_GOTGINT), which indicates that the bus is
stable again after the electrical debounce caused by the attachment of a pull-up resistor on
DP (FS) or DM (LS).
The application drives a USB reset signaling (single-ended zero) over the USB by keeping
the port reset bit set in the host port control and status register (PRST bit in OTG_HPRT) for
a minimum of 10 ms and a maximum of 20 ms. The application takes care of the timing
count and then of clearing the port reset bit.
Once the USB reset sequence has completed, the host port interrupt is triggered by the port
enable/disable change bit (PENCHNG bit in OTG_HPRT). This informs the application that
the speed of the enumerated peripheral can be read from the port speed field in the host
port control and status register (PSPD bit in OTG_HPRT) and that the host is starting to
drive SOFs (FS) or Keep alives (LS). The host is now ready to complete the peripheral
enumeration by sending peripheral configuration commands.

Host suspend
The application decides to suspend the USB activity by setting the port suspend bit in the
host port control and status register (PSUSP bit in OTG_HPRT). The OTG_FS/OTG_HS
core stops sending SOFs and enters the suspended state.
The suspended state can be optionally exited on the remote device’s initiative (remote
wakeup). In this case the remote wakeup interrupt (WKUPINT bit in OTG_GINTSTS) is
generated upon detection of a remote wakeup signaling, the port resume bit in the host port
control and status register (PRES bit in OTG_HPRT) self-sets, and resume signaling is
automatically driven over the USB. The application must time the resume window and then
clear the port resume bit to exit the suspended state and restart the SOF.
If the suspended state is exited on the host initiative, the application must set the port
resume bit to start resume signaling on the host port, time the resume window and finally
clear the port resume bit.

USB on-the-go full-speed/high-speed (OTG_FS/OTG_HS)

Host channels
The OTG_FS/OTG_HS core instantiates 12[FS] / 16[HS] host channels. Each host channel
supports an USB host transfer (USB pipe). The host is not able to support more than 12[FS]
/ 16[HS] transfer requests at the same time. If more than 12[FS] / 16[HS] transfer requests
are pending from the application, the host controller driver (HCD) must re-allocate channels
when they become available from previous duty, that is, after receiving the transfer
completed and channel halted interrupts.
Each host channel can be configured to support in/out and any type of periodic/nonperiodic
transaction. Each host channel makes us of proper control (OTG_HCCHARx), transfer
configuration (OTG_HCTSIZx) and status/interrupt (OTG_HCINTx) registers with
associated mask (OTG_HCINTMSKx) registers.

Host channel control
•

The following host channel controls are available to the application through the host
channel-x characteristics register (OTG_HCCHARx):
–

Channel enable/disable

–

Program the HS/FS/LS speed of target USB peripheral

–

Program the address of target USB peripheral

–

Program the endpoint number of target USB peripheral

–

Program the transfer IN/OUT direction

–

Program the USB transfer type (control, bulk, interrupt, isochronous)

–

Program the maximum packet size (MPS)

–

Program the periodic transfer to be executed during odd/even frames

Host channel transfer
The host channel transfer size registers (OTG_HCTSIZx) allow the application to program
the transfer size parameters, and read the transfer status. Programming must be done
before setting the channel enable bit in the host channel characteristics register. Once the
endpoint is enabled the packet count field is read-only as the OTG_FS/OTG_HS core
updates it according to the current transfer status.
•

The following transfer parameters can be programmed:
–

transfer size in bytes

–

number of packets making up the overall transfer size

–

initial data PID

Host channel status/interrupt
The host channel-x interrupt register (OTG_HCINTx) indicates the status of an endpoint
with respect to USB- and AHB-related events. The application must read these register
when the host channels interrupt bit in the core interrupt register (HCINT bit in
OTG_GINTSTS) is set. Before the application can read these registers, it must first read the
host all channels interrupt (OTG_HAINT) register to get the exact channel number for the
host channel-x interrupt register. The application must clear the appropriate bit in this
register to clear the corresponding bits in the OTG_HAINT and OTG_GINTSTS registers.

The host core provides the following status checks and interrupt generation:
–

Transfer completed interrupt, indicating that the data transfer is complete on both
the application (AHB) and USB sides

–

–

Host scheduler
The host core features a built-in hardware scheduler which is able to autonomously re-order
and manage the USB transaction requests posted by the application. At the beginning of
each frame the host executes the periodic (isochronous and interrupt) transactions first,
followed by the nonperiodic (control and bulk) transactions to achieve the higher level of
priority granted to the isochronous and interrupt transfer types by the USB specification.
The host processes the USB transactions through request queues (one for periodic and one
for nonperiodic). Each request queue can hold up to 8 entries. Each entry represents a
pending transaction request from the application, and holds the IN or OUT channel number
along with other information to perform a transaction on the USB. The order in which the
requests are written to the queue determines the sequence of the transactions on the USB
interface.
At the beginning of each frame, the host processes the periodic request queue first, followed
by the nonperiodic request queue. The host issues an incomplete periodic transfer interrupt
(IPXFR bit in OTG_GINTSTS) if an isochronous or interrupt transaction scheduled for the
current frame is still pending at the end of the current frame. The OTG_FS/OTG_HS core is
fully responsible for the management of the periodic and nonperiodic request queues.The
periodic transmit FIFO and queue status register (OTG_HPTXSTS) and nonperiodic
transmit FIFO and queue status register (OTG_HNPTXSTS) are read-only registers which
can be used by the application to read the status of each request queue. They contain:
•

The number of free entries currently available in the periodic (nonperiodic) request
queue (8 max)

•

Free space currently available in the periodic (nonperiodic) Tx FIFO (out-transactions)

•

IN/OUT token, host channel number and other status information.

As request queues can hold a maximum of 8 entries each, the application can push to
schedule host transactions in advance with respect to the moment they physically reach the
SB for a maximum of 8 pending periodic transactions plus 8 pending non-periodic
transactions.
To post a transaction request to the host scheduler (queue) the application must check that
there is at least 1 entry available in the periodic (nonperiodic) request queue by reading the

The OTG_FS/OTG_HS core provides means to monitor, track and configure SOF framing in
the host and peripheral, as well as an SOF pulse output connectivity feature.
Such utilities are especially useful for adaptive audio clock generation techniques, where
the audio peripheral needs to synchronize to the isochronous stream provided by the PC, or
the host needs to trim its framing rate according to the requirements of the audio peripheral.

37.8.1

Host SOFs
In host mode the number of PHY clocks occurring between the generation of two
consecutive SOF (HS/FS) or Keep-alive (LS) tokens is programmable in the host frame
interval register (HFIR), thus providing application control over the SOF framing period. An
interrupt is generated at any start of frame (SOF bit in OTG_GINTSTS). The current frame
number and the time remaining until the next SOF are tracked in the host frame number
register (HFNUM).
A SOF pulse signal, is generated at any SOF starting token and with a width of 20 HCLK
cycles. The SOF pulse is also internally connected to the input trigger of the timer, so that
the input capture feature, the output compare feature and the timer can be triggered by the
SOF pulse.

37.8.2

Peripheral SOFs
In device mode, the start of frame interrupt is generated each time an SOF token is received
on the USB (SOF bit in OTG_GINTSTS). The corresponding frame number can be read
from the device status register (FNSOF bit in OTG_DSTS). A SOF pulse signal with a width
of 20 HCLK cycles is also generated.The SOF pulse signal is also internally connected to
the TIM input trigger, so that the input capture feature, the output compare feature and the
timer can be triggered by the SOF pulse.

The end of periodic frame interrupt (OTG_GINTSTS/EOPF) is used to notify the application
when 80%, 85%, 90% or 95% of the time frame interval elapsed depending on the periodic
frame interval field in the device configuration register (PFIVL bit in OTG_DCFG). This
feature can be used to determine if all of the isochronous traffic for that frame is complete.

The following bits and procedures reduce power consumption.
The power consumption of the OTG PHY is controlled by two or three bits in the general
core configuration register, depending on OTG revision supported.
•

PHY power down (OTG_GCCFG/PWRDWN)
It switches on/off the full-speed transceiver module of the PHY. It must be preliminarily
set to allow any USB operation

•

VBUS detection enable (OTG_GCCFG/VBDEN)
It switches on/off the VBUS sensing comparators associated with OTG operations

Power reduction techniques are available while in the USB suspended state, when the USB
session is not yet valid or the device is disconnected.
•

Stop PHY clock (STPPCLK bit in OTG_PCGCCTL)
When setting the stop PHY clock bit in the clock gating control register, most of the
48 MHz clock domain internal to the OTG full-speed core is switched off by clock
gating. The dynamic power consumption due to the USB clock switching activity is cut
even if the 48 MHz clock input is kept running by the application
Most of the transceiver is also disabled, and only the part in charge of detecting the

When the OTG_FS/OTG_HS is in the USB suspended state, the application may
decide to drastically reduce the overall power consumption by a complete shut down of
all the clock sources in the system. USB System Stop is activated by first setting the
Stop PHY clock bit and then configuring the system deep sleep mode in the power
control system module (PWR).
The OTG_FS/OTG_HS core automatically reactivates both system and USB clocks by
asynchronous detection of remote wakeup (as an host) or resume (as a device)
signaling on the USB.

To save dynamic power, the USB data FIFO is clocked only when accessed by the
OTG_FS/OTG_HS core.

Dynamic update of the OTG_HFIR register
The USB core embeds a dynamic trimming capability of micro-SOF[HS] / SOF[FS] framing
period in host mode allowing to synchronize an external device with the micro-SOF[HS] /
SOF[FS] frames.
When the OTG_HFIR register is changed within a current micro-SOF[HS] / SOF[FS] frame,
the SOF period correction is applied in the next frame as described in Figure 463.
For a dynamic update, it is required to set RLDCTRL=0.

USB data FIFOs
The USB system features 1.25[FS] / 4[HS] Kbytes of dedicated RAM with a sophisticated
FIFO control mechanism. The packet FIFO controller module in the OTG_FS/OTG_HS core
organizes RAM space into Tx FIFOs into which the application pushes the data to be
temporarily stored before the USB transmission, and into a single Rx FIFO where the data
received from the USB are temporarily stored before retrieval (popped) by the application.
The number of instructed FIFOs and how these are organized inside the RAM depends on

the device’s role. In peripheral mode an additional Tx FIFO is instructed for each active IN
endpoint. Any FIFO size is software configured to better meet the application requirements.

Peripheral Rx FIFO
The OTG peripheral uses a single receive FIFO that receives the data directed to all OUT
endpoints. Received packets are stacked back-to-back until free space is available in the Rx
FIFO. The status of the received packet (which contains the OUT endpoint destination
number, the byte count, the data PID and the validity of the received data) is also stored by
the core on top of the data payload. When no more space is available, host transactions are
NACKed and an interrupt is received on the addressed endpoint. The size of the receive
FIFO is configured in the receive FIFO size register (OTG_GRXFSIZ).
The single receive FIFO architecture makes it more efficient for the USB peripheral to fill in
the receive RAM buffer:
•

All OUT endpoints share the same RAM buffer (shared FIFO)

•

The OTG_FS/OTG_HS core can fill in the receive FIFO up to the limit for any host
sequence of OUT tokens

The application keeps receiving the Rx FIFO non-empty interrupt (RXFLVL bit in
OTG_GINTSTS) as long as there is at least one packet available for download. It reads the
packet information from the receive status read and pop register (OTG_GRXSTSP) and
finally pops data off the receive FIFO by reading from the endpoint-related pop address.

Host Rx FIFO
The host uses one receiver FIFO for all periodic and nonperiodic transactions. The FIFO is
used as a receive buffer to hold the received data (payload of the received packet) from the
USB until it is transferred to the system memory. Packets received from any remote IN
endpoint are stacked back-to-back until free space is available. The status of each received
packet with the host channel destination, byte count, data PID and validity of the received
data are also stored into the FIFO. The size of the receive FIFO is configured in the receive
FIFO size register (OTG_GRXFSIZ).
The single receive FIFO architecture makes it highly efficient for the USB host to fill in the
receive data buffer:
•

All IN configured host channels share the same RAM buffer (shared FIFO)

•

The OTG_FS/OTG_HS core can fill in the receive FIFO up to the limit for any sequence
of IN tokens driven by the host software

The application receives the Rx FIFO not-empty interrupt as long as there is at least one
packet available for download. It reads the packet information from the receive status read
and pop register and finally pops the data off the receive FIFO.

Host Tx FIFOs
The host uses one transmit FIFO for all non-periodic (control and bulk) OUT transactions
and one transmit FIFO for all periodic (isochronous and interrupt) OUT transactions. FIFOs
are used as transmit buffers to hold the data (payload of the transmit packet) to be
transmitted over the USB. The size of the periodic (nonperiodic) Tx FIFO is configured in the
host periodic (nonperiodic) transmit FIFO size OTG_HPTXFSIZ / OTG_HNPTXFSIZ)
register.
The two Tx FIFO implementation derives from the higher priority granted to the periodic type
of traffic over the USB frame. At the beginning of each frame, the built-in host scheduler
processes the periodic request queue first, followed by the nonperiodic request queue.
The two transmit FIFO architecture provides the USB host with separate optimization for
periodic and nonperiodic transmit data buffer management:
•

All host channels configured to support periodic (nonperiodic) transactions in the OUT
direction share the same RAM buffer (shared FIFOs)

•

The OTG_FS/OTG_HS core can fill in the periodic (nonperiodic) transmit FIFO up to
the limit for any sequence of OUT tokens driven by the host software

The OTG_FS/OTG_HS core issues the periodic Tx FIFO empty interrupt (PTXFE bit in
OTG_GINTSTS) as long as the periodic Tx FIFO is half or completely empty, depending on
the value of the periodic Tx FIFO empty level bit in the AHB configuration register
(PTXFELVL bit in OTG_GAHBCFG). The application can push the transmission data in
advance as long as free space is available in both the periodic Tx FIFO and the periodic
request queue. The host periodic transmit FIFO and queue status register
(OTG_HPTXSTS) can be read to know how much space is available in both.
OTG_FS/OTG_HS core issues the non periodic Tx FIFO empty interrupt (NPTXFE bit in
OTG_GINTSTS) as long as the nonperiodic Tx FIFO is half or completely empty depending
on the non periodic Tx FIFO empty level bit in the AHB configuration register (TXFELVL bit
in OTG_GAHBCFG). The application can push the transmission data as long as free space
is available in both the nonperiodic Tx FIFO and nonperiodic request queue. The host
nonperiodic transmit FIFO and queue status register (OTG_HNPTXSTS) can be read to
know how much space is available in both.

FIFO RAM allocation
Device mode
Receive FIFO RAM allocation: the application should allocate RAM for SETUP packets:

1364/1724

•

10 locations must be reserved in the receive FIFO to receive SETUP packets on
control endpoint. The core does not use these locations, which are reserved for SETUP
packets, to write any other data.

•

One location is to be allocated for Global OUT NAK.

•

Status information is written to the FIFO along with each received packet. Therefore, a
minimum space of (largest packet size / 4) + 1 must be allocated to receive packets. If
multiple isochronous endpoints are enabled, then at least two (largest packet size / 4) +
1 spaces must be allocated to receive back-to-back packets. Typically, two (largest
packet size / 4) + 1 spaces are recommended so that when the previous packet is
being transferred to the CPU, the USB can receive the subsequent packet.

•

Along with the last packet for each endpoint, transfer complete status information is
also pushed to the FIFO. One location for each OUT endpoint is recommended.

Device RxFIFO =
(5 * number of control endpoints + 8) + ((largest USB packet used / 4) + 1 for status

Example: The MPS is 1,024 bytes for a periodic USB packet and 512 bytes for a nonperiodic USB packet. There are three OUT endpoints, three IN endpoints, one control
endpoint, and three host channels.
Device RxFIFO = (5 * 1 + 8) + ((1,024 / 4) +1) + (2 * 4) + 1 = 279
Transmit FIFO RAM allocation: the minimum RAM space required for each IN endpoint
Transmit FIFO is the maximum packet size for that particular IN endpoint.

Note:

More space allocated in the transmit IN endpoint FIFO results in better performance on the
USB.

Receive FIFO RAM allocation:
Status information is written to the FIFO along with each received packet. Therefore, a
minimum space of (largest packet size / 4) + 1 must be allocated to receive packets. If
multiple isochronous channels are enabled, then at least two (largest packet size / 4) + 1
spaces must be allocated to receive back-to-back packets. Typically, two (largest packet
size / 4) + 1 spaces are recommended so that when the previous packet is being transferred
to the CPU, the USB can receive the subsequent packet.
Along with the last packet in the host channel, transfer complete status information is also
pushed to the FIFO. So one location must be allocated for this.
Host RxFIFO = (largest USB packet used / 4) + 1 for status information + 1 transfer
complete
Example: Host RxFIFO = ((1,024 / 4) + 1) + 1 = 258
Transmit FIFO RAM allocation:
The minimum amount of RAM required for the host Non-periodic Transmit FIFO is the
largest maximum packet size among all supported non-periodic OUT channels.
Typically, two largest packet sizes worth of space is recommended, so that when the current
packet is under transfer to the USB, the CPU can get the next packet.
Non-Periodic TxFIFO = largest non-periodic USB packet used / 4
Example: Non-Periodic TxFIFO = (512 / 4) = 128
The minimum amount of RAM required for host periodic Transmit FIFO is the largest
maximum packet size out of all the supported periodic OUT channels. If there is at least one
isochronous OUT endpoint, then the space must be at least two times the maximum packet
size of that channel.
Host Periodic TxFIFO = largest periodic USB packet used / 4
Example: Host Periodic TxFIFO = (1,024 / 4) = 256
Note:

More space allocated in the Transmit Non-periodic FIFO results in better performance on
the USB.

OTG_FS system performance
Best USB and system performance is achieved owing to the large RAM buffers, the highly
configurable FIFO sizes, the quick 32-bit FIFO access through AHB push/pop registers and,
especially, the advanced FIFO control mechanism. Indeed, this mechanism allows the
OTG_FS to fill in the available RAM space at best regardless of the current USB sequence.
With these features:
•

•

The application gains good margins to calibrate its intervention in order to optimize the
CPU bandwidth usage:
–

It can accumulate large amounts of transmission data in advance compared to
when they are effectively sent over the USB

–

It benefits of a large time margin to download data from the single receive FIFO

The USB core is able to maintain its full operating rate, that is to provide maximum fullspeed bandwidth with a great margin of autonomy versus application intervention:
–

It has a large reserve of transmission data at its disposal to autonomously manage
the sending of data over the USB

–

It has a lot of empty space available in the receive buffer to autonomously fill it in
with the data coming from the USB

As the OTG_FS core is able to fill in the 1.25-Kbyte RAM buffer very efficiently, and as
1.25-Kbyte of transmit/receive data is more than enough to cover a full speed frame, the
USB system is able to withstand the maximum full-speed data rate for up to one USB frame
(1 ms) without any CPU intervention.

37.13

OTG_FS/OTG_HS interrupts
When the OTG_FS/OTG_HS controller is operating in one mode, either device or host, the
application must not access registers from the other mode. If an illegal access occurs, a
mode mismatch interrupt is generated and reflected in the core interrupt register (MMIS bit
in the OTG_GINTSTS register). When the core switches from one mode to the other, the
registers in the new mode of operation must be reprogrammed as they would be after a
power-on reset.

OTG_FS/OTG_HS control and status registers
By reading from and writing to the control and status registers (CSRs) through the AHB
slave interface, the application controls the OTG_FS/OTG_HS controller. These registers
are 32 bits wide, and the addresses are 32-bit block aligned. The OTG_FS/OTG_HS
registers must be accessed by words (32 bits).
CSRs are classified as follows:
•

Core global registers

•

Host-mode registers

•

Host global registers

•

Host port CSRs

•

Host channel-specific registers

•

Device-mode registers

•

Device global registers

•

Device endpoint-specific registers

•

Power and clock-gating registers

•

Data FIFO (DFIFO) access registers

Only the core global, power and clock-gating, data FIFO access, and host port control and
status registers can be accessed in both host and device modes. When the
OTG_FS/OTG_HS controller is operating in one mode, either device or host, the application
must not access registers from the other mode. If an illegal access occurs, a mode
mismatch interrupt is generated and reflected in the core interrupt register (MMIS bit in the
OTG_GINTSTS register). When the core switches from one mode to the other, the registers
in the new mode of operation must be reprogrammed as they would be after a power-on
reset.

Data FIFO (DFIFO) access register map
These registers, available in both host and device modes, are used to read or write the FIFO
space for a specific endpoint or a channel, in a given direction. If a host channel is of type
IN, the FIFO can only be read on the channel. Similarly, if a host channel is of type OUT, the
FIFO can only be written on the channel.

01111: Tx FIFO 15 flush in device mode
10000: Flush all the transmit FIFOs in device or host mode.
Note: Accessible in both device and host modes.
Bit 5 TXFFLSH: Tx FIFO flush
This bit selectively flushes a single or all transmit FIFOs, but cannot do so if the core is in the
midst of a transaction.
The application must write this bit only after checking that the core is neither writing to the Tx
FIFO nor reading from the Tx FIFO. Verify using these registers:
Read—NAK Effective interrupt ensures the core is not reading from the FIFO
Write—AHBIDL bit in OTG_GRSTCTL ensures the core is not writing anything to the FIFO.
Flushing is normally recommended when FIFOs are reconfigured. FIFO flushing is also
recommended during device endpoint disable. The application must wait until the core clears
this bit before performing any operations. This bit takes eight clocks to clear, using the slower
clock of phy_clk or hclk.
Note: Accessible in both device and host modes.

Bit 4 RXFFLSH: Rx FIFO flush
The application can flush the entire Rx FIFO using this bit, but must first ensure that the core
is not in the middle of a transaction.
The application must only write to this bit after checking that the core is neither reading from
the Rx FIFO nor writing to the Rx FIFO.
The application must wait until the bit is cleared before performing any other operations. This
bit requires 8 clocks (slowest of PHY or AHB clock) to clear.
Note: Accessible in both device and host modes.
Bit 3 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bit 2 FCRST: Host frame counter reset for USB OTG FS
The application writes this bit to reset the frame number counter inside the core. When the
frame counter is reset, the subsequent SOF sent out by the core has a frame number of 0.
When application writes '1' to the bit, it might not be able to read back the value as it will get
cleared by the core in a few clock cycles.
Note: Only accessible in host mode.
Bit 2 Reserved, must be kept at reset value for USB OTG HS.
Bit 1 PSRST: Partial soft reset
Resets the internal state machines but keeps the enumeration info. Could be used to recover
some specific PHY errors.
Note: Accessible in both device and host modes.
Bit 0 CSRST: Core soft reset
Resets the HCLK and PHY clock domains as follows:
Clears the interrupts and all the CSR register bits except for the following bits:
– GATEHCLK bit in OTG_PCGCCTL
– STPPCLK bit in OTG_PCGCCTL
– FSLSPCS bits in OTG_HCFG
– DSPD bit in OTG_DCFG
– SDIS bit in OTG_DCTL
– OTG_GCCFG register
All module state machines (except for the AHB slave unit) are reset to the Idle state, and all
the transmit FIFOs and the receive FIFO are flushed.
Any transactions on the AHB Master are terminated as soon as possible, after completing the
last data phase of an AHB transfer. Any transactions on the USB are terminated immediately.
The application can write to this bit any time it wants to reset the core. This is a self-clearing
bit and the core clears this bit after all the necessary logic is reset in the core, which can take
several clocks, depending on the current state of the core. Once this bit has been cleared,
the software must wait at least 3 PHY clocks before accessing the PHY domain
(synchronization delay). The software must also check that bit 31 in this register is set to 1
(AHB Master is Idle) before starting any operation.
Typically, the software reset is used during software development and also when the user
dynamically changes the PHY selection bits in the above listed USB configuration registers.
When you change the PHY, the corresponding clock for the PHY is selected and used in the
PHY domain. Once a new clock is selected, the PHY domain has to be reset for proper
operation.
Note: Accessible in both device and host modes.

OTG core interrupt register (OTG_GINTSTS)
Address offset: 0x014
Reset value: 0x1400 0020
This register interrupts the application for system-level events in the current mode (device
mode or host mode).
Some of the bits in this register are valid only in host mode, while others are valid in device
mode only. This register also indicates the current mode. To clear the interrupt status bits of
the rc_w1 type, the application must write 1 into the bit.
The FIFO status interrupts are read-only; once software reads from or writes to the FIFO
while servicing these interrupts, FIFO interrupt conditions are cleared automatically.
The application must clear the OTG_GINTSTS register at initialization before unmasking
the interrupt bit to avoid any interrupts generated prior to initialization.

Note: Accessible in both device and host modes.
Bit 30 SRQINT: Session request/new session detected interrupt
In host mode, this interrupt is asserted when a session request is detected from the device.
In device mode, this interrupt is asserted when VBUS is in the valid range for a B-peripheral

Bit 29 DISCINT: Disconnect detected interrupt
Asserted when a device disconnect is detected.
Note: Only accessible in host mode.
Bit 28 CIDSCHG: Connector ID status change
The core sets this bit when there is a change in connector ID status.
Note: Accessible in both device and host modes.
Bit 27 LPMINT: LPM interrupt
In device mode, this interrupt is asserted when the device receives an LPM transaction and
responds with a non-ERRORed response.
In host mode, this interrupt is asserted when the device responds to an LPM transaction with
a non-ERRORed response or when the host core has completed LPM transactions for the
programmed number of times (RETRYCNT bit in OTG_GLPMCFG).
This field is valid only if the LPMEN bit in OTG_GLPMCFG is set to 1.
Bit 27 Reserved, must be kept at reset value for USB OTG FS.
Bit 26 PTXFE: Periodic Tx FIFO empty
Asserted when the periodic transmit FIFO is either half or completely empty and there is
space for at least one entry to be written in the periodic request queue. The half or
completely empty status is determined by the periodic Tx FIFO empty level bit in the
OTG_GAHBCFG register (PTXFELVL bit in OTG_GAHBCFG).
Note: Only accessible in host mode.
Bit 25 HCINT: Host channels interrupt
The core sets this bit to indicate that an interrupt is pending on one of the channels of the
core (in host mode). The application must read the OTG_HAINT register to determine the
exact number of the channel on which the interrupt occurred, and then read the
corresponding OTG_HCINTx register to determine the exact cause of the interrupt. The
application must clear the appropriate status bit in the OTG_HCINTx register to clear this bit.
Note: Only accessible in host mode.
Bit 24 HPRTINT: Host port interrupt
The core sets this bit to indicate a change in port status of one of the OTG_FS/OTG_HS
controller ports in host mode. The application must read the OTG_HPRT register to
determine the exact event that caused this interrupt. The application must clear the
appropriate status bit in the OTG_HPRT register to clear this bit.
Note: Only accessible in host mode.

Bit 23 RSTDET: Reset detected interrupt
In device mode, this interrupt is asserted when a reset is detected on the USB in partial
power-down mode when the device is in suspend.
Note: Only accessible in device mode.
Bit 23 Reserved, must be kept at reset value for USB OTG HS.
Bit 22 Reserved, must be kept at reset value for USB OTG FS.
Bit 22 DATAFSUSP: Data fetch suspended for USB OTG HS
This interrupt is valid only in DMA mode. This interrupt indicates that the core has stopped
fetching data for IN endpoints due to the unavailability of TxFIFO space or request queue
space. This interrupt is used by the application for an endpoint mismatch algorithm. For
example, after detecting an endpoint mismatch, the application:
–
Sets a global nonperiodic IN NAK handshake
–
Disables IN endpoints
–
Flushes the FIFO
–
Determines the token sequence from the IN token sequence learning queue
–
Re-enables the endpoints
Clears the global nonperiodic IN NAK handshake If the global nonperiodic IN NAK is
cleared, the core has not yet fetched data for the IN endpoint, and the IN token is received:
the core generates an “IN token received when FIFO empty” interrupt. The OTG then sends
a NAK response to the host. To avoid this scenario, the application can check the FetSusp
interrupt in OTG_GINTSTS, which ensures that the FIFO is full before clearing a global NAK
handshake. Alternatively, the application can mask the “IN token received when FIFO
empty” interrupt when clearing a global IN NAK handshake.
Bit 21 IPXFR: Incomplete periodic transfer
In host mode, the core sets this interrupt bit when there are incomplete periodic transactions
still pending, which are scheduled for the current frame.
INCOMPISOOUT: Incomplete isochronous OUT transfer
In device mode, the core sets this interrupt to indicate that there is at least one isochronous
OUT endpoint on which the transfer is not completed in the current frame. This interrupt is
asserted along with the End of periodic frame interrupt (EOPF) bit in this register.
Bit 20 IISOIXFR: Incomplete isochronous IN transfer
The core sets this interrupt to indicate that there is at least one isochronous IN endpoint on
which the transfer is not completed in the current frame. This interrupt is asserted along with
the End of periodic frame interrupt (EOPF) bit in this register.
Note: Only accessible in device mode.
Bit 19 OEPINT: OUT endpoint interrupt
The core sets this bit to indicate that an interrupt is pending on one of the OUT endpoints of
the core (in device mode). The application must read the OTG_DAINT register to determine
the exact number of the OUT endpoint on which the interrupt occurred, and then read the

Bit 18 IEPINT: IN endpoint interrupt
The core sets this bit to indicate that an interrupt is pending on one of the IN endpoints of the
core (in device mode). The application must read the OTG_DAINT register to determine the
exact number of the IN endpoint on which the interrupt occurred, and then read the
corresponding OTG_DIEPINTx register to determine the exact cause of the interrupt. The
application must clear the appropriate status bit in the corresponding OTG_DIEPINTx
register to clear this bit.
Note: Only accessible in device mode.
Bits 17:16 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bit 15 EOPF: End of periodic frame interrupt
Indicates that the period specified in the periodic frame interval field of the OTG_DCFG
register (PFIVL bit in OTG_DCFG) has been reached in the current frame.
Note: Only accessible in device mode.
Bit 14 ISOODRP: Isochronous OUT packet dropped interrupt
The core sets this bit when it fails to write an isochronous OUT packet into the Rx FIFO
because the Rx FIFO does not have enough space to accommodate a maximum size
packet for the isochronous OUT endpoint.
Note: Only accessible in device mode.
Bit 13 ENUMDNE: Enumeration done
The core sets this bit to indicate that speed enumeration is complete. The application must
read the OTG_DSTS register to obtain the enumerated speed.
Note: Only accessible in device mode.
Bit 12 USBRST: USB reset
The core sets this bit to indicate that a reset is detected on the USB.
Note: Only accessible in device mode.
Bit 11 USBSUSP: USB suspend
The core sets this bit to indicate that a suspend was detected on the USB. The core enters
the suspended state when there is no activity on the data lines for an extended period of
time.
Note: Only accessible in device mode.
Bit 10 ESUSP: Early suspend
The core sets this bit to indicate that an Idle state has been detected on the USB for 3 ms.
Note: Only accessible in device mode.
Bits 9:8 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bit 7 GONAKEFF: Global OUT NAK effective
Indicates that the Set global OUT NAK bit in the OTG_DCTL register (SGONAK bit in
OTG_DCTL), set by the application, has taken effect in the core. This bit can be cleared by
writing the Clear global OUT NAK bit in the OTG_DCTL register (CGONAK bit in
OTG_DCTL).
Note: Only accessible in device mode.

USB on-the-go full-speed/high-speed (OTG_FS/OTG_HS)

Bit 6 GINAKEFF: Global IN non-periodic NAK effective
Indicates that the Set global non-periodic IN NAK bit in the OTG_DCTL register (SGINAK bit
in OTG_DCTL), set by the application, has taken effect in the core. That is, the core has
sampled the Global IN NAK bit set by the application. This bit can be cleared by clearing the
Clear global non-periodic IN NAK bit in the OTG_DCTL register (CGINAK bit in
OTG_DCTL).
This interrupt does not necessarily mean that a NAK handshake is sent out on the USB. The
STALL bit takes precedence over the NAK bit.
Note: Only accessible in device mode.
Bit 5 NPTXFE: Non-periodic Tx FIFO empty
This interrupt is asserted when the non-periodic Tx FIFO is either half or completely empty,
and there is space for at least one entry to be written to the non-periodic transmit request
queue. The half or completely empty status is determined by the non-periodic Tx FIFO
empty level bit in the OTG_GAHBCFG register (TXFELVL bit in OTG_GAHBCFG).
Note: Accessible in host mode only.
Bit 4 RXFLVL: Rx FIFO non-empty
Indicates that there is at least one packet pending to be read from the Rx FIFO.
Note: Accessible in both host and device modes.
Bit 3 SOF: Start of frame
In host mode, the core sets this bit to indicate that an SOF (FS), or Keep-Alive (LS) is
transmitted on the USB. The application must write a 1 to this bit to clear the interrupt.
In device mode, in the core sets this bit to indicate that an SOF token has been received on
the USB. The application can read the OTG_DSTS register to get the current frame number.
This interrupt is seen only when the core is operating in FS.
Note: This register may return '1' if read immediately after power on reset. If the register bit
reads '1' immediately after power on reset it does not indicate that an SOF has been
sent (in case of host mode) or SOF has been received (in case of device mode). The
read value of this interrupt is valid only after a valid connection between host and
device is established. If the bit is set after power on reset the application can clear the
bit.
Note: Accessible in both host and device modes.
Bit 2 OTGINT: OTG interrupt
The core sets this bit to indicate an OTG protocol event. The application must read the OTG
interrupt status (OTG_GOTGINT) register to determine the exact event that caused this
interrupt. The application must clear the appropriate status bit in the OTG_GOTGINT
register to clear this bit.
Note: Accessible in both host and device modes.
Bit 1 MMIS: Mode mismatch interrupt
The core sets this bit when the application is trying to access:
– A host mode register, when the core is operating in device mode
– A device mode register, when the core is operating in host mode
The register access is completed on the AHB with an OKAY response, but is ignored by the
core internally and does not affect the operation of the core.
Note: Accessible in both host and device modes.
Bit 0 CMOD: Current mode of operation
Indicates the current mode.
0: Device mode
1: Host mode
Note: Accessible in both host and device modes.

Address offset for read: 0x01C
Address offset for pop: 0x020
Reset value: 0x0000 0000
A read to the receive status debug read register returns the contents of the top of the
receive FIFO. A read to the receive status read and pop register additionally pops the top
data entry out of the Rx FIFO.
The receive status contents must be interpreted differently in host and device modes. The
core ignores the receive status pop/read when the receive FIFO is empty and returns a
value of 0x0000 0000. The application must only pop the receive status FIFO when the
receive FIFO non-empty bit of the core interrupt register (RXFLVL bit in OTG_GINTSTS) is
asserted.

Bits 31:29 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bit 28 ENBESL: Enable best effort service latency
This bit enables the BESL feature as defined in the LPM errata:
0:The core works as described in the following document:
USB 2.0 Link Power Management Addendum Engineering Change Notice to the USB 2.0
specification, July 16, 2007
1:The core works as described in the LPM Errata:
Errata for USB 2.0 ECN: Link Power Management (LPM) - 7/2007
Note: Only the updated behavior (described in LPM Errata) is considered in this document
and so the ENBESL bit should be set to '1' by application SW.
Bits 27:25 LPMRCNTSTS[2:0]: LPM retry count status
Number of LPM host retries still remaining to be transmitted for the current LPM sequence.
Note: Accessible only in host mode.
Bit 24 SNDLPM: Send LPM transaction
When the application software sets this bit, an LPM transaction containing two tokens, EXT
and LPM is sent. The hardware clears this bit once a valid response (STALL, NYET, or
ACK) is received from the device or the core has finished transmitting the programmed
number of LPM retries.
Note: This bit must be set only when the host is connected to a local port.
Note: Accessible only in host mode.
Bits 23:21 LPMRCNT:[2:0] LPM retry count
When the device gives an ERROR response, this is the number of additional LPM retries
that the host performs until a valid device response (STALL, NYET, or ACK) is received.
Note: Accessible only in host mode.
Bits 20:17 LPMCHIDX[3:0]: LPM Channel Index
The channel number on which the LPM transaction has to be applied while sending an LPM
transaction to the local device. Based on the LPM channel index, the core automatically
inserts the device address and endpoint number programmed in the corresponding channel
into the LPM transaction.
Note: Accessible only in host mode.
Bit 16 L1RSMOK: Sleep state resume OK
Indicates that the device or host can start resume from Sleep state. This bit is valid in LPM
sleep (L1) state. It is set in sleep mode after a delay of 50 μs (TL1Residency).
This bit is reset when SLPSTS is 0.
1: The application or host can start resume from Sleep state
0: The application or host cannot start resume from Sleep state

USB on-the-go full-speed/high-speed (OTG_FS/OTG_HS)

Bit 15 SLPSTS: Port sleep status
Device mode:
This bit is set as long as a Sleep condition is present on the USB bus. The core enters the
Sleep state when an ACK response is sent to an LPM transaction and the TL1TokenRetry
timer has expired. To stop the PHY clock, the application must set the STPPCLK bit in
OTG_PCGCCTL, which asserts the PHY suspend input signal.
The application must rely on SLPSTS and not ACK in LPMRSP to confirm transition into
sleep.
The core comes out of sleep:
– When there is any activity on the USB linestate
– When the application writes to the RWUSIG bit in OTG_DCTL or when the application
resets or soft-disconnects the device.
Host mode:
The host transitions to Sleep (L1) state as a side-effect of a successful LPM transaction by
the core to the local port with ACK response from the device. The read value of this bit
reflects the current Sleep status of the port.
The core clears this bit after:
– The core detects a remote L1 wakeup signal,
– The application sets the PRST bit or the PRES bit in the OTG_HPRT register, or
– The application sets the L1Resume/ remote wakeup detected interrupt bit or disconnect
detected interrupt bit in the core interrupt register (WKUPINT or DISCINT bit in
OTG_GINTSTS, respectively).
0: Core not in L1
1: Core in L1
Bits 14:13 LPMRST[1:0]: LPM response
Device mode:
The response of the core to LPM transaction received is reflected in these two bits.
Host mode:
Handshake response received from local device for LPM transaction
11: ACK
10: NYET
01: STALL
00: ERROR (No handshake response)
Bit 12 L1DSEN: L1 deep sleep enable
Enables suspending the PHY in L1 Sleep mode. For maximum power saving during L1
Sleep mode, this bit should be set to '1' by application SW in all the cases.

Device mode:
The core puts the PHY into deep low power mode in L1 when BESL value is greater than or
equal to the value defined in this field BESL_Thres[3:0].
Host mode:
The core puts the PHY into deep low power mode in L1. BESLTHRS[3:0] specifies the time
for which resume signaling is to be reflected by host (TL1HubDrvResume2) on the USB bus
when it detects device initiated resume.
BESLTHRS must not be programmed with a value greater than 1100b in host mode,
because this exceeds maximum TL1HubDrvResume2.

Bit 1 LPMACK: LPM token acknowledge enable
Handshake response to LPM token preprogrammed by device application software.
1: ACK
Even though ACK is preprogrammed, the core device responds with ACK only on
successful LPM transaction. The LPM transaction is successful if:
– No PID/CRC5 errors in either EXT token or LPM token (else ERROR)
– Valid bLinkState = 0001B (L1) received in LPM transaction (else STALL)
– No data pending in transmit queue (else NYET).
0: NYET
The preprogrammed software bit is over-ridden for response to LPM token when:
– The received bLinkState is not L1 (STALL response), or
– An error is detected in either of the LPM token packets because of corruption (ERROR
response).
Note: Accessible only in device mode.
Bit 0 LPMEN: LPM support enable
The application uses this bit to control the OTG_FS/OTG_HS core LPM capabilities.
If the core operates as a non-LPM-capable host, it cannot request the connected device or
hub to activate LPM mode.
If the core operates as a non-LPM-capable device, it cannot respond to any LPM
transactions.
0: LPM capability is not enabled
1: LPM capability is enabled

37.15.24 OTG host port control and status register (OTG_HPRT)
Address offset: 0x440
Reset value: 0x0000 0000
This register is available only in host mode. Currently, the OTG host supports only one port.
A single register holds USB port-related information such as USB reset, enable, suspend,
resume, connect status, and test mode for each port. It is shown in Figure 466. The rc_w1
bits in this register can trigger an interrupt to the application through the host port interrupt
bit of the core interrupt register (HPRTINT bit in OTG_GINTSTS). On a port interrupt, the
application must read this register and clear the bit that caused the interrupt. For the rc_w1
bits, the application must write a 1 to the bit to clear the interrupt.

Bit 8 PRST: Port reset
When the application sets this bit, a reset sequence is started on this port. The application
must time the reset period and clear this bit after the reset sequence is complete.
0: Port not in reset
1: Port in reset
The application must leave this bit set for a minimum duration of at least 10 ms to start a
reset on the port. The application can leave it set for another 10 ms in addition to the
required minimum duration, before clearing the bit, even though there is no maximum limit
set by the USB standard.
High speed: 50 ms
Full speed/Low speed: 10 ms
Bit 7 PSUSP: Port suspend
The application sets this bit to put this port in suspend mode. The core only stops sending
SOFs when this is set. To stop the PHY clock, the application must set the port clock stop
bit, which asserts the suspend input pin of the PHY.
The read value of this bit reflects the current suspend status of the port. This bit is cleared
by the core after a remote wakeup signal is detected or the application sets the port reset bit
or port resume bit in this register or the resume/remote wakeup detected interrupt bit or
disconnect detected interrupt bit in the core interrupt register (WKUPINT or DISCINT in
OTG_GINTSTS, respectively).
0: Port not in suspend mode
1: Port in suspend mode
Bit 6 PRES: Port resume
The application sets this bit to drive resume signaling on the port. The core continues to
drive the resume signal until the application clears this bit.
If the core detects a USB remote wakeup sequence, as indicated by the port resume/remote
wakeup detected interrupt bit of the core interrupt register (WKUPINT bit in
OTG_GINTSTS), the core starts driving resume signaling without application intervention
and clears this bit when it detects a disconnect condition. The read value of this bit indicates
whether the core is currently driving resume signaling.
0: No resume driven
1: Resume driven
When LPM is enabled and the core is in L1 state, the behavior of this bit is as follow:
1. The application sets this bit to drive resume signaling on the port.
2. The core continues to drive the resume signal until a predetermined time specified in
BESLTHRS[3:0] field of OTG_GLPMCFG register.
3. If the core detects a USB remote wakeup sequence, as indicated by the port
L1Resume/Remote L1Wakeup detected interrupt bit of the core interrupt register
(WKUPINT in OTG_GINTSTS), the core starts driving resume signaling without application
intervention and clears this bit at the end of resume.This bit can be set or cleared by both
the core and the application. This bit is cleared by the core even if there is no device
connected to the host.
Bit 5 POCCHNG: Port overcurrent change
The core sets this bit when the status of the port overcurrent active bit (bit 4) in this register
changes.
Bit 4 POCA: Port overcurrent active
Indicates the overcurrent condition of the port.
0: No overcurrent condition
1: Overcurrent condition
Bit 3 PENCHNG: Port enable/disable change
The core sets this bit when the status of the port enable bit 2 in this register changes.

Bit 2 PENA: Port enable
A port is enabled only by the core after a reset sequence, and is disabled by an overcurrent
condition, a disconnect condition, or by the application clearing this bit. The application
cannot set this bit by a register write. It can only clear it to disable the port. This bit does not
trigger any interrupt to the application.
0: Port disabled
1: Port enabled
Bit 1 PCDET: Port connect detected
The core sets this bit when a device connection is detected to trigger an interrupt to the
application using the host port interrupt bit in the core interrupt register (HPRTINT bit in
OTG_GINTSTS). The application must write a 1 to this bit to clear the interrupt.
Bit 0 PCSTS: Port connect status
0: No device is attached to the port

Bit 3 GONSTS: Global OUT NAK status
0:A handshake is sent based on the FIFO status and the NAK and STALL bit settings.
1:No data is written to the Rx FIFO, irrespective of space availability. Sends a NAK
handshake on all packets, except on SETUP transactions. All isochronous OUT packets are
dropped.
Bit 2 GINSTS: Global IN NAK status
0:A handshake is sent out based on the data availability in the transmit FIFO.
1:A NAK handshake is sent out on all non-periodic IN endpoints, irrespective of the data
availability in the transmit FIFO.
Bit 1 SDIS: Soft disconnect
The application uses this bit to signal the USB OTG core to perform a soft disconnect. As
long as this bit is set, the host does not see that the device is connected, and the device
does not receive signals on the USB. The core stays in the disconnected state until the
application clears this bit.
0:Normal operation. When this bit is cleared after a soft disconnect, the core generates a
device connect event to the USB host. When the device is reconnected, the USB host
restarts device enumeration.
1:The core generates a device disconnect event to the USB host.
Bit 0 RWUSIG: Remote wakeup signaling
When the application sets this bit, the core initiates remote signaling to wake up the USB
host. The application must set this bit to instruct the core to exit the suspend state. As
specified in the USB 2.0 specification, the application must clear this bit 1 ms to 15 ms after
setting it.
If LPM is enabled and the core is in the L1 (sleep) state, when the application sets this bit,
the core initiates L1 remote signaling to wake up the USB host. The application must set
this bit to instruct the core to exit the sleep state. As specified in the LPM specification, the
hardware automatically clears this bit 50 µs (TL1DevDrvResume) after being set by the
application. The application must not set this bit when bRemoteWake from the previous
LPM transaction is zero (refer to REMWAKE bit in GLPMCFG register).

Table 270 contains the minimum duration (according to device state) for which the Soft
disconnect (SDIS) bit must be set for the USB host to detect a device disconnect. To
accommodate clock jitter, it is recommended that the application add some extra delay to
the specified minimum duration.

37.15.37 OTG device all endpoints interrupt register (OTG_DAINT)
Address offset: 0x818
Reset value: 0x0000 0000
When a significant event occurs on an endpoint, a OTG_DAINT register interrupts the
application using the device OUT endpoints interrupt bit or device IN endpoints interrupt bit
of the OTG_GINTSTS register (OEPINT or IEPINT in OTG_GINTSTS, respectively). There
is one interrupt bit per endpoint, up to a maximum of 16 bits for OUT endpoints and 16 bits
for IN endpoints. For a bidirectional endpoint, the corresponding IN and OUT interrupt bits
are used. Bits in this register are set and cleared when the application sets and clears bits in
the corresponding device endpoint-x interrupt register (OTG_DIEPINTx/OTG_DOEPINTx).

37.15.49 OTG device IN endpoint x interrupt register (OTG_DIEPINTx)
(x = 0..5[FS] /8[HS], where x = Endpoint number)
Address offset: 0x908 + (x * 0x20)
Reset value: 0x0000 0080
This register indicates the status of an endpoint with respect to USB- and AHB-related
events. It is shown in Figure 466. The application must read this register when the IN
endpoints interrupt bit of the core interrupt register (IEPINT in OTG_GINTSTS) is set.
Before the application can read this register, it must first read the device all endpoints
interrupt (OTG_DAINT) register to get the exact endpoint number for the device endpoint-x
interrupt register. The application must clear the appropriate bit in this register to clear the
corresponding bits in the OTG_DAINT and OTG_GINTSTS registers.

Configuration register for USB OTG HS
Bits 31:14 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bit 13 NAK: NAK input
The core generates this interrupt when a NAK is transmitted or received by the device. In
case of isochronous IN endpoints the interrupt gets generated when a zero length packet is
transmitted due to unavailability of data in the Tx FIFO.
Bit 12 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bit 11 PKTDRPSTS: Packet dropped status
This bit indicates to the application that an ISOC OUT packet has been dropped. This bit
does not have an associated mask bit and does not generate an interrupt.
Bit 10 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bit 9 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bit 8 TXFIFOUDRN: Transmit Fifo Underrun (TxfifoUndrn)
The core generates this interrupt when it detects a transmit FIFO underrun condition for this
endpoint. Dependency: This interrupt is valid only when Thresholding is enabled
Bit 7 TXFE: Transmit FIFO empty
This interrupt is asserted when the Tx FIFO for this endpoint is either half or completely
empty. The half or completely empty status is determined by the Tx FIFO Empty Level bit in
the OTG_GAHBCFG register (TXFELVL bit in OTG_GAHBCFG).
Bit 6 INEPNE: IN endpoint NAK effective
This bit can be cleared when the application clears the IN endpoint NAK by writing to the
CNAK bit in OTG_DIEPCTLx.
This interrupt indicates that the core has sampled the NAK bit set (either by the application
or by the core). The interrupt indicates that the IN endpoint NAK bit set by the application
has taken effect in the core.
This interrupt does not guarantee that a NAK handshake is sent on the USB. A STALL bit
takes priority over a NAK bit.
Bit 5 INEPNM: IN token received with EP mismatch
Indicates that the data in the top of the non-periodic TxFIFO belongs to an endpoint other
than the one for which the IN token was received. This interrupt is asserted on the endpoint
for which the IN token was received.
Bit 4 ITTXFE: IN token received when Tx FIFO is empty
Indicates that an IN token was received when the associated Tx FIFO (periodic/nonperiodic) was empty. This interrupt is asserted on the endpoint for which the IN token was
received.

Bit 3 TOC: Timeout condition
Indicates that the core has detected a timeout condition on the USB for the last IN token on
this endpoint.
Bit 2 AHBERR: AHB error for USB OTG HS
This is generated only in internal DMA mode when there is an AHB error during an AHB
read/write. The application can read the corresponding endpoint DMA address register to
get the error address.
Bit 1 EPDISD: Endpoint disabled interrupt
This bit indicates that the endpoint is disabled per the application’s request.
Bit 0 XFRC: Transfer completed interrupt
This field indicates that the programmed transfer is complete on the AHB as well as on the
USB, for this endpoint.

37.15.50 OTG device IN endpoint 0 transfer size register
(OTG_DIEPTSIZ0)
Address offset: 0x910
Reset value: 0x0000 0000
The application must modify this register before enabling endpoint 0. Once endpoint 0 is
enabled using the endpoint enable bit in the device control endpoint 0 control registers
(EPENA in OTG_DIEPCTL0), the core modifies this register. The application can only read
this register once the core has cleared the endpoint enable bit.
Nonzero endpoints use the registers for endpoints 1–3.

Configuration register for USB OTG HS.
Bits 31:16 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bit 15 STPKTRX: Setup packet received.
Applicable for control OUT endpoints in only in the Buffer DMA Mode. Set by the OTG_HS,
this bit indicates that this buffer holds 8 bytes of setup data. There is only one setup packet
per buffer. On receiving a setup packet, the OTG_HS closes the buffer and disables the
corresponding endpoint after SETUP_COMPLETE status is seen in the Rx FIFO. OTG_HS
puts a SETUP_COMPLETE status into the Rx FIFO when it sees the first IN or OUT token
after the SETUP packet for that particular endpoint. The application must then re-enable the
endpoint to receive any OUT data for the control transfer and reprogram the buffer start
address. Because of the above behavior, OTG_HS can receive any number of back to back
setup packets and one buffer for every setup packet is used.
Bit 14 NYET: NYET interrupt
This interrupt is generated when a NYET response is transmitted for a non isochronous
OUT endpoint.
Bit 13 NAK: NAK input
The core generates this interrupt when a NAK is transmitted or received by the device. In
case of isochronous IN endpoints the interrupt gets generated when a zero length packet is
transmitted due to unavailability of data in the Tx FIFO.
Bit 12 BERR: Babble error interrupt
The core generates this interrupt when babble is received for the endpoint.
Bits 11:10 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bit 9 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bit 8 OUTPKTERR: OUT packet error
This interrupt is asserted when the core detects an overflow or a CRC error for an OUT
packet. This interrupt is valid only when thresholding is enabled.
Bit 7 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bit 6 B2BSTUP: Back-to-back SETUP packets received for USB OTG HS
Applies to control OUT endpoint only.
This bit indicates that the core has received more than three back-to-back SETUP packets
for this particular endpoint.
Bit 5 STSPHSRX: Status phase received for control write
This interrupt is valid only for control OUT endpoints. This interrupt is generated only after
OTG_FS/OTG_HS has transferred all the data that the host has sent during the data phase
of a control write transfer, to the system memory buffer. The interrupt indicates to the
application that the host has switched from data phase to the status phase of a control write
transfer. The application can use this interrupt to ACK or STALL the status phase, after it has
decoded the data phase.

Bit 4 OTEPDIS: OUT token received when endpoint disabled
Applies only to control OUT endpoints.
Indicates that an OUT token was received when the endpoint was not yet enabled. This
interrupt is asserted on the endpoint for which the OUT token was received.
Bit 3 STUP: SETUP phase done
Applies to control OUT endpoint only.
Indicates that the SETUP phase for the control endpoint is complete and no more back-toback SETUP packets were received for the current control transfer. On this interrupt, the
application can decode the received SETUP data packet.
Bit 2 AHBERR: AHB error for USB OTG HS
This is generated only in internal DMA mode when there is an AHB error during an AHB
read/write. The application can read the corresponding endpoint DMA address register to
get the error address.
Bit 1 EPDISD: Endpoint disabled interrupt
This bit indicates that the endpoint is disabled per the application’s request.
Bit 0 XFRC: Transfer completed interrupt
This field indicates that the programmed transfer is complete on the AHB as well as on the
USB, for this endpoint.

Bit 31 EPENA: Endpoint enable
Applies to IN and OUT endpoints.
The application sets this bit to start transmitting data on an endpoint.
The core clears this bit before setting any of the following interrupts on this endpoint:
– SETUP phase done
– Endpoint disabled
– Transfer completed
Bit 30 EPDIS: Endpoint disable
The application sets this bit to stop transmitting/receiving data on an endpoint, even before
the transfer for that endpoint is complete. The application must wait for the endpoint
disabled interrupt before treating the endpoint as disabled. The core clears this bit before
setting the endpoint disabled interrupt. The application must set this bit only if endpoint
enable is already set for this endpoint.
Bit 29 SD1PID: Set DATA1 PID
Applies to interrupt/bulk IN and OUT endpoints only. Writing to this field sets the endpoint
data PID (DPID) field in this register to DATA1.
SODDFRM: Set odd frame
Applies to isochronous IN and OUT endpoints only. Writing to this field sets the Even/Odd
frame (EONUM) field to odd frame.
Bit 28 SD0PID: Set DATA0 PID
Applies to interrupt/bulk OUT endpoints only.
Writing to this field sets the endpoint data PID (DPID) field in this register to DATA0.
SEVNFRM: Set even frame
Applies to isochronous OUT endpoints only.
Writing to this field sets the Even/Odd frame (EONUM) field to even frame.
Bit 27 SNAK: Set NAK
A write to this bit sets the NAK bit for the endpoint.
Using this bit, the application can control the transmission of NAK handshakes on an
endpoint. The core can also set this bit for OUT endpoints on a transfer completed interrupt,
or after a SETUP is received on the endpoint.

Bit 26 CNAK: Clear NAK
A write to this bit clears the NAK bit for the endpoint.
Bits 25:22 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bit 21 STALL: STALL handshake
Applies to non-control, non-isochronous OUT endpoints only (access type is rw).
The application sets this bit to stall all tokens from the USB host to this endpoint. If a NAK
bit, Global IN NAK, or Global OUT NAK is set along with this bit, the STALL bit takes
priority. Only the application can clear this bit, never the core.
Applies to control endpoints only (access type is rs).
The application can only set this bit, and the core clears it, when a SETUP token is received
for this endpoint. If a NAK bit, Global IN NAK, or Global OUT NAK is set along with this bit,
the STALL bit takes priority. Irrespective of this bit’s setting, the core always responds to
SETUP data packets with an ACK handshake.
Bit 20 SNPM: Snoop mode
This bit configures the endpoint to Snoop mode. In Snoop mode, the core does not check
the correctness of OUT packets before transferring them to application memory.
Bits 19:18 EPTYP[1:0]: Endpoint type
This is the transfer type supported by this logical endpoint.
00: Control
01: Isochronous
10: Bulk
11: Interrupt
Bit 17 NAKSTS: NAK status
Indicates the following:
0: The core is transmitting non-NAK handshakes based on the FIFO status.
1: The core is transmitting NAK handshakes on this endpoint.
When either the application or the core sets this bit:
The core stops receiving any data on an OUT endpoint, even if there is space in the Rx
FIFO to accommodate the incoming packet.
Irrespective of this bit’s setting, the core always responds to SETUP data packets with an
ACK handshake.
Bit 16 EONUM: Even/odd frame
Applies to isochronous IN and OUT endpoints only.
Indicates the frame number in which the core transmits/receives isochronous data for this
endpoint. The application must program the even/odd frame number in which it intends to
transmit/receive isochronous data for this endpoint using the SEVNFRM and SODDFRM
fields in this register.
0: Even frame
1: Odd frame
DPID: Endpoint data PID
Applies to interrupt/bulk OUT endpoints only.
Contains the PID of the packet to be received or transmitted on this endpoint. The
application must program the PID of the first packet to be received or transmitted on this
endpoint, after the endpoint is activated. The application uses the SD0PID register field to
program either DATA0 or DATA1 PID.

Bit 15 USBAEP: USB active endpoint
Indicates whether this endpoint is active in the current configuration and interface. The core
clears this bit for all endpoints (other than EP 0) after detecting a USB reset. After receiving
the SetConfiguration and SetInterface commands, the application must program endpoint
registers accordingly and set this bit.
Bits 14:11 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bits 10:0 MPSIZ[10:0]: Maximum packet size
The application must program this field with the maximum packet size for the current logical
endpoint. This value is in bytes.

37.15.59 OTG device OUT endpoint x transfer size register

where x = Endpoint number)
Address offset: 0xB10 + (x * 0x20)
Reset value: 0x0000 0000
The application must modify this register before enabling the endpoint. Once the endpoint is
enabled using endpoint enable bit of the OTG_DOEPCTLx registers (EPENA bit in
OTG_DOEPCTLx), the core modifies this register. The application can only read this
register once the core has cleared the endpoint enable bit.

OTG_FS/OTG_HS programming model

37.16.1

Core initialization

RM0385

The application must perform the core initialization sequence. If the cable is connected
during power-up, the current mode of operation bit in the OTG_GINTSTS (CMOD bit in
OTG_GINTSTS) reflects the mode. The OTG_FS/OTG_HS controller enters host mode
when an “A” plug is connected or device mode when a “B” plug is connected.
This section explains the initialization of the OTG_FS/OTG_HS controller after power-on.
The application must follow the initialization sequence irrespective of host or device mode
operation. All core global registers are initialized according to the core’s configuration:
1.

2.

3.

Program the following fields in the OTG_GAHBCFG register:
–

Global interrupt mask bit GINTMSK = 1

–

Rx FIFO non-empty (RXFLVL bit in OTG_GINTSTS)

–

Periodic Tx FIFO empty level

Program the following fields in the OTG_GUSBCFG register:
–

HNP capable bit

–

SRP capable bit

–

OTG_FS/OTG_HS timeout calibration field

–

USB turnaround time field

The software must unmask the following bits in the OTG_GINTMSK register:
OTG interrupt mask
Mode mismatch interrupt mask

4.

37.16.2

The software can read the CMOD bit in OTG_GINTSTS to determine whether the
OTG_FS/OTG_HS controller is operating in host or device mode.

Host initialization
To initialize the core as host, the application must perform the following steps:

1466/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

USB on-the-go full-speed/high-speed (OTG_FS/OTG_HS)
1.

Program the HPRTINT in the OTG_GINTMSK register to unmask

2.

Program the OTG_HCFG register to select full-speed host

3.

Program the PPWR bit in OTG_HPRT to 1. This drives VBUS on the USB.

4.

Wait for the PCDET interrupt in OTG_HPRT0. This indicates that a device is
connecting to the port.

5.

Program the PRST bit in OTG_HPRT to 1. This starts the reset process.

6.

Wait at least 10 ms for the reset process to complete.

7.

Program the PRST bit in OTG_HPRT to 0.

8.

Wait for the PENCHNG interrupt in OTG_HPRT.

9.

Read the PSPD bit in OTG_HPRT to get the enumerated speed.

10. Program the HFIR register with a value corresponding to the selected PHY clock 1
11. Program the FSLSPCS field in the OTG_HCFG register following the speed of the
device detected in step 9. If FSLSPCS has been changed a port reset must be
performed.
12. Program the OTG_GRXFSIZ register to select the size of the receive FIFO.
13. Program the OTG_HNPTXFSIZ register to select the size and the start address of the
Non-periodic transmit FIFO for non-periodic transactions.
14. Program the OTG_HPTXFSIZ register to select the size and start address of the
periodic transmit FIFO for periodic transactions.
To communicate with devices, the system software must initialize and enable at least one
channel.

37.16.3

Device initialization
The application must perform the following steps to initialize the core as a device on powerup or after a mode change from host to device.
1.

2.

3.

Program the following fields in the OTG_DCFG register:
–

Device speed

–

Non-zero-length status OUT handshake

Program the OTG_GINTMSK register to unmask the following interrupts:
–

USB reset

–

Enumeration done

–

Early suspend

–

USB suspend

–

SOF

Wait for the USBRST interrupt in OTG_GINTSTS. It indicates that a reset has been
detected on the USB that lasts for about 10 ms on receiving this interrupt.

Wait for the ENUMDNE interrupt in OTG_GINTSTS. This interrupt indicates the end of reset
on the USB. On receiving this interrupt, the application must read the OTG_DSTS register
to determine the enumeration speed and perform the steps listed in Endpoint initialization on
enumeration completion on page 1501.
At this point, the device is ready to accept SOF packets and perform control transfers on
control endpoint 0.

DMA mode
The OTG host uses the AHB master interface to fetch the transmit packet data (AHB to
USB) and receive the data update (USB to AHB). The AHB master uses the programmed
DMA address (OTG_HCDMAx register in host mode and
OTG_DIEPDMAx/OTG_DOEPDMAx register in peripheral mode) to access the data
buffers.

37.16.5

Host programming model
Channel initialization
The application must initialize one or more channels before it can communicate with
connected devices. To initialize and enable a channel, the application must perform the
following steps:
1.
2.

Program the OTG_GINTMSK register to unmask the following:
Channel interrupt
–

Non-periodic transmit FIFO empty for OUT transactions (applicable when
operating in pipelined transaction-level with the packet count field programmed
with more than one).

–

Non-periodic transmit FIFO half-empty for OUT transactions (applicable when
operating in pipelined transaction-level with the packet count field programmed
with more than one).

3.

Program the OTG_HAINTMSK register to unmask the selected channels’ interrupts.

4.

Program the OTG_HCINTMSK register to unmask the transaction-related interrupts of
interest given in the host channel interrupt register.

5.

Program the selected channel’s OTG_HCTSIZx register with the total transfer size, in
bytes, and the expected number of packets, including short packets. The application
must program the PID field with the initial data PID (to be used on the first OUT
transaction or to be expected from the first IN transaction).

6.

Program the OTG_HCCHARx register of the selected channel with the device’s
endpoint characteristics, such as type, speed, direction, and so forth. (The channel can
be enabled by setting the channel enable bit to 1 only when the application is ready to
transmit or receive any packet).

7.

Program the selected channels in the OTG_HCSPLTx register(s) with the hub and port
addresses (split transactions only).

8.

Program the selected channels in the OTG_HCDMAx register(s) with the buffer start
address (DMA transactions only).

Halting a channel
The application can disable any channel by programming the OTG_HCCHARx register with
the CHDIS and CHENA bits set to 1. This enables the OTG_FS/OTG_HS host to flush the
posted requests (if any) and generates a channel halted interrupt. The application must wait
for the CHH interrupt in OTG_HCINTx before reallocating the channel for other transactions.
The OTG_FS/OTG_HS host does not interrupt the transaction that has already been started
on the USB.
To disable a channel in DMA mode operation, the application does not need to check for
space in the request queue. The OTG_HS host checks for space to write the disable

1468/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

USB on-the-go full-speed/high-speed (OTG_FS/OTG_HS)
request on the disabled channel’s turn during arbitration. Meanwhile, all posted requests are
dropped from the request queue when the CHDIS bit in OTG_HCCHARx is set to 1.
Before disabling a channel, the application must ensure that there is at least one free space
available in the non-periodic request queue (when disabling a non-periodic channel) or the
periodic request queue (when disabling a periodic channel). The application can simply
flush the posted requests when the request queue is full (before disabling the channel), by
programming the OTG_HCCHARx register with the CHDIS bit set to 1, and the CHENA bit
cleared to 0.
The application is expected to disable a channel on any of the following conditions:
1.

When an STALL, TXERR, BBERR or DTERR interrupt in OTG_HCINTx is received for
an IN or OUT channel. The application must be able to receive other interrupts
(DTERR, Nak, data, TXERR) for the same channel before receiving the halt.

2.

When an XFRC interrupt in OTG_HCINTx is received during a non periodic IN transfer
or high-bandwidth interrupt IN transfer

3.

When a DISCINT (disconnect device) interrupt in OTG_GINTSTS is received. (The
application is expected to disable all enabled channels).

4.

When the application aborts a transfer before normal completion.

Ping protocol
When the OTG_HS host operates in high speed, the application must initiate the ping
protocol when communicating with high-speed bulk or control (data and status stage) OUT
endpoints.The application must initiate the ping protocol when it receives a
NAK/NYET/TXERR interrupt. When the OTG_HS host receives one of the above
responses, it does not continue any transaction for a specific endpoint, drops all posted or
fetched OUT requests (from the request queue), and flushes the corresponding data (from
the transmit FIFO).This is valid in slave mode only. In Slave mode, the application can send
a ping token either by setting the DOPING bit in OTG_HCTSIZx before enabling the channel
or by just writing the OTG_HCTSIZx register with the DOPING bit set when the channel is
already enabled. This enables the OTG_HS host to write a ping request entry to the request
queue. The application must wait for the response to the ping token (a NAK, ACK, or
TXERR interrupt) before continuing the transaction or sending another ping token. The
application can continue the data transaction only after receiving an ACK from the OUT
endpoint for the requested ping. In DMA mode operation, the application does not need to
set the DOPING bit in OTG_HCTSIZx for a NAK/NYET response in case of bulk/control
OUT. The OTG_HS host automatically sets the DOPING bit in OTG_HCTSIZx, and issues
the ping tokens for bulk/control OUT. The OTG_HS host continues sending ping tokens until
it receives an ACK, and then switches automatically to the data transaction.

Operational model
The application must initialize a channel before communicating to the connected device.
This section explains the sequence of operation to be performed for different types of USB
transactions.
•

Writing the transmit FIFO
The OTG_FS/OTG_HS host automatically writes an entry (OUT request) to the
periodic/non-periodic request queue, along with the last 32-bit word write of a packet.
The application must ensure that at least one free space is available in the
periodic/non-periodic request queue before starting to write to the transmit FIFO. The
application must always write to the transmit FIFO in 32-bit words. If the packet size is
non-32-bit word aligned, the application must use padding. The OTG_FS/OTG_HS

size and transfer size.

Handling more than three back-to-back SETUP packets

Per the USB 2.0 specification, normally, during a SETUP packet error, a host does not send
more than three back-to-back SETUP packets to the same endpoint. However, the USB 2.0
specification does not limit the number of back-to-back SETUP packets a host can send to
the same endpoint. When this condition occurs, the OTG_FS/OTG_HS controller generates
an interrupt (B2BSTUP in OTG_DOEPINTx).
•

Setting the global OUT NAK

Internal data flow:
1.

When the application sets the Global OUT NAK (SGONAK bit in OTG_DCTL), the core
stops writing data, except SETUP packets, to the receive FIFO. Irrespective of the
space availability in the receive FIFO, non-isochronous OUT tokens receive a NAK
handshake response, and the core ignores isochronous OUT data packets

2.

The core writes the Global OUT NAK pattern to the receive FIFO. The application must
reserve enough receive FIFO space to write this data pattern.

3.

When the application pops the Global OUT NAK pattern word from the receive FIFO,
the core sets the GONAKEFF interrupt (OTG_GINTSTS).

4.

Once the application detects this interrupt, it can assume that the core is in Global OUT
NAK mode. The application can clear this interrupt by clearing the SGONAK bit in
OTG_DCTL.

Application programming sequence:

1506/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

USB on-the-go full-speed/high-speed (OTG_FS/OTG_HS)
1.

To stop receiving any kind of data in the receive FIFO, the application must set the
Global OUT NAK bit by programming the following field:
–

SGONAK = 1 in OTG_DCTL

2.

Wait for the assertion of the GONAKEFF interrupt in OTG_GINTSTS. When asserted,
this interrupt indicates that the core has stopped receiving any type of data except
SETUP packets.

3.

The application can receive valid OUT packets after it has set SGONAK in OTG_DCTL
and before the core asserts the GONAKEFF interrupt (OTG_GINTSTS).

4.

The application can temporarily mask this interrupt by writing to the GONAKEFFM bit in
the OTG_GINTMSK register.
–

5.

Whenever the application is ready to exit the Global OUT NAK mode, it must clear the
SGONAK bit in OTG_DCTL. This also clears the GONAKEFF interrupt
(OTG_GINTSTS).
–

6.

CGONAK = 1 in OTG_DCTL

If the application has masked this interrupt earlier, it must be unmasked as follows:
–

•

GONAKEFFM = 0 in the OTG_GINTMSK register

GONAKEFFM = 1 in OTG_GINTMSK

Disabling an OUT endpoint

The application must use this sequence to disable an OUT endpoint that it has enabled.
Application programming sequence:
1.

Before disabling any OUT endpoint, the application must enable Global OUT NAK
mode in the core.
–

SGONAK = 1 in OTG_DCTL

2.

Wait for the GONAKEFF interrupt (OTG_GINTSTS)

3.

Disable the required OUT endpoint by programming the following fields:

4.

5.

–

EPDIS = 1 in OTG_DOEPCTLx

–

SNAK = 1 in OTG_DOEPCTLx

Wait for the EPDISD interrupt (OTG_DOEPINTx), which indicates that the OUT
endpoint is completely disabled. When the EPDISD interrupt is asserted, the core also
clears the following bits:
–

EPDIS = 0 in OTG_DOEPCTLx

–

EPENA = 0 in OTG_DOEPCTLx

The application must clear the Global OUT NAK bit to start receiving data from other
non-disabled OUT endpoints.
–

•

SGONAK = 0 in OTG_DCTL

Generic non-isochronous OUT data transfers

This section describes a regular non-isochronous OUT data transfer (control, bulk, or
interrupt).
Application requirements:

RM0385 Rev 8

1507/1724
1527

USB on-the-go full-speed/high-speed (OTG_FS/OTG_HS)

RM0385

1.

Before setting up an OUT transfer, the application must allocate a buffer in the memory
to accommodate all data to be received as part of the OUT transfer.

2.

For OUT transfers, the transfer size field in the endpoint’s transfer size register must be
a multiple of the maximum packet size of the endpoint, adjusted to the word boundary.

3.

–

transfer size[EPNUM] = n × (MPSIZ[EPNUM] + 4 – (MPSIZ[EPNUM] mod 4))

–

packet count[EPNUM] = n

–

n>0

On any OUT endpoint interrupt, the application must read the endpoint’s transfer size
register to calculate the size of the payload in the memory. The received payload size
can be less than the programmed transfer size.
–

Payload size in memory = application programmed initial transfer size – core
updated final transfer size

–

Number of USB packets in which this payload was received = application
programmed initial packet count – core updated final packet count

Internal data flow:

1508/1724

1.

The application must set the transfer size and packet count fields in the endpointspecific registers, clear the NAK bit, and enable the endpoint to receive the data.

2.

Once the NAK bit is cleared, the core starts receiving data and writes it to the receive
FIFO, as long as there is space in the receive FIFO. For every data packet received on
the USB, the data packet and its status are written to the receive FIFO. Every packet
(maximum packet size or short packet) written to the receive FIFO decrements the
packet count field for that endpoint by 1.
–

OUT data packets received with bad data CRC are flushed from the receive FIFO
automatically.

–

After sending an ACK for the packet on the USB, the core discards nonisochronous OUT data packets that the host, which cannot detect the ACK, resends. The application does not detect multiple back-to-back data OUT packets
on the same endpoint with the same data PID. In this case the packet count is not
decremented.

–

If there is no space in the receive FIFO, isochronous or non-isochronous data
packets are ignored and not written to the receive FIFO. Additionally, nonisochronous OUT tokens receive a NAK handshake reply.

–

In all the above three cases, the packet count is not decremented because no data
are written to the receive FIFO.

3.

When the packet count becomes 0 or when a short packet is received on the endpoint,
the NAK bit for that endpoint is set. Once the NAK bit is set, the isochronous or nonisochronous data packets are ignored and not written to the receive FIFO, and nonisochronous OUT tokens receive a NAK handshake reply.

4.

After the data are written to the receive FIFO, the application reads the data from the
receive FIFO and writes it to external memory, one packet at a time per endpoint.

5.

At the end of every packet write on the AHB to external memory, the transfer size for
the endpoint is decremented by the size of the written packet.

6.

The OUT data transfer completed pattern for an OUT endpoint is written to the receive
FIFO on one of the following conditions:
–

The transfer size is 0 and the packet count is 0

–

The last OUT data packet written to the receive FIFO is a short packet
(0 ≤ packet size < maximum packet size)

When either the application pops this entry (OUT data transfer completed), a transfer
completed interrupt is generated for the endpoint and the endpoint enable is cleared.

Application programming sequence:
1.

Program the OTG_DOEPTSIZx register for the transfer size and the corresponding
packet count.

2.

Program the OTG_DOEPCTLx register with the endpoint characteristics, and set the
EPENA and CNAK bits.

3.

–

EPENA = 1 in OTG_DOEPCTLx

–

CNAK = 1 in OTG_DOEPCTLx

Wait for the RXFLVL interrupt (in OTG_GINTSTS) and empty the data packets from the
receive FIFO.
–

This step can be repeated many times, depending on the transfer size.

4.

Asserting the XFRC interrupt (OTG_DOEPINTx) marks a successful completion of the
non-isochronous OUT data transfer.

Read the OTG_DOEPTSIZx register to determine the size of the received data
payload.

Generic isochronous OUT data transfer

This section describes a regular isochronous OUT data transfer.
Application requirements:
1.

All the application requirements for non-isochronous OUT data transfers also apply to
isochronous OUT data transfers.

2.

For isochronous OUT data transfers, the transfer size and packet count fields must
always be set to the number of maximum-packet-size packets that can be received in a
single frame and no more. Isochronous OUT data transfers cannot span more than 1
frame.

3.

The application must read all isochronous OUT data packets from the receive FIFO
(data and status) before the end of the periodic frame (EOPF interrupt in
OTG_GINTSTS).

4.

To receive data in the following frame, an isochronous OUT endpoint must be enabled
after the EOPF (OTG_GINTSTS) and before the SOF (OTG_GINTSTS).

Internal data flow:
1.

The internal data flow for isochronous OUT endpoints is the same as that for nonisochronous OUT endpoints, but for a few differences.

2.

When an isochronous OUT endpoint is enabled by setting the endpoint enable and
clearing the NAK bits, the Even/Odd frame bit must also be set appropriately. The core
receives data on an isochronous OUT endpoint in a particular frame only if the
following condition is met:
–

3.

EONUM (in OTG_DOEPCTLx) = FNSOF[0] (in OTG_DSTS)

When the application completely reads an isochronous OUT data packet (data and
status) from the receive FIFO, the core updates the RXDPID field in OTG_DOEPTSIZx
with the data PID of the last isochronous OUT data packet read from the receive FIFO.

–

EPENA = 1

–

CNAK = 1

–

Wait for the RXFLVL interrupt (in OTG_GINTSTS) and empty the data packets from the

–

This step can be repeated many times, depending on the transfer size.

4.

The assertion of the XFRC interrupt (in OTG_DOEPINTx) marks the completion of the
isochronous OUT data transfer. This interrupt does not necessarily mean that the data
in memory are good.

5.

This interrupt cannot always be detected for isochronous OUT transfers. Instead, the
application can detect the INCOMPISOOUT interrupt in OTG_GINTSTS.

6.

Read the OTG_DOEPTSIZx register to determine the size of the received transfer and
to determine the validity of the data received in the frame. The application must treat
the data received in memory as valid only if one of the following conditions is met:
–

RXDPID = DATA0 (in OTG_DOEPTSIZx) and the number of USB packets in
which this payload was received = 1

–

RXDPID = DATA1 (in OTG_DOEPTSIZx) and the number of USB packets in
which this payload was received = 2

–

RXDPID = D2 (in OTG_DOEPTSIZx) and the number of USB packets in which
this payload was received = 3[HS]
The number of USB packets in which this payload was received =
Application programmed initial packet count – core updated final packet count

The application can discard invalid data packets.

Incomplete isochronous OUT data transfers

This section describes the application programming sequence when isochronous OUT data
packets are dropped inside the core.
Internal data flow:
1.

2.

1510/1724

For isochronous OUT endpoints, the XFRC interrupt (in OTG_DOEPINTx) may not
always be asserted. If the core drops isochronous OUT data packets, the application
could fail to detect the XFRC interrupt (OTG_DOEPINTx) under the following
circumstances:
–

When the receive FIFO cannot accommodate the complete ISO OUT data packet,
the core drops the received ISO OUT data

–

When the isochronous OUT data packet is received with CRC errors

–

When the isochronous OUT token received by the core is corrupted

–

When the application is very slow in reading the data from the receive FIFO

When the core detects an end of periodic frame before transfer completion to all
isochronous OUT endpoints, it asserts the incomplete isochronous OUT data interrupt
(INCOMPISOOUT in OTG_GINTSTS), indicating that an XFRC interrupt (in
OTG_DOEPINTx) is not asserted on at least one of the isochronous OUT endpoints. At

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

USB on-the-go full-speed/high-speed (OTG_FS/OTG_HS)
this point, the endpoint with the incomplete transfer remains enabled, but no active
transfers remain in progress on this endpoint on the USB.
Application programming sequence:
1.

Asserting the INCOMPISOOUT interrupt (OTG_GINTSTS) indicates that in the current
frame, at least one isochronous OUT endpoint has an incomplete transfer.

2.

If this occurs because isochronous OUT data is not completely emptied from the
endpoint, the application must ensure that the application empties all isochronous OUT
data (data and status) from the receive FIFO before proceeding.
–

3.

When all data are emptied from the receive FIFO, the application can detect the
XFRC interrupt (OTG_DOEPINTx). In this case, the application must re-enable
the endpoint to receive isochronous OUT data in the next frame.

When it receives an INCOMPISOOUT interrupt (in OTG_GINTSTS), the application
must read the control registers of all isochronous OUT endpoints (OTG_DOEPCTLx) to
determine which endpoints had an incomplete transfer in the current microframe. An
endpoint transfer is incomplete if both the following conditions are met:
–

EONUM bit (in OTG_DOEPCTLx) = FNSOF[0] (in OTG_DSTS)

–

EPENA = 1 (in OTG_DOEPCTLx)

4.

The previous step must be performed before the SOF interrupt (in OTG_GINTSTS) is
detected, to ensure that the current frame number is not changed.

5.

For isochronous OUT endpoints with incomplete transfers, the application must discard
the data in the memory and disable the endpoint by setting the EPDIS bit in
OTG_DOEPCTLx.

6.

Wait for the EPDISD interrupt (in OTG_DOEPINTx) and enable the endpoint to receive
new data in the next frame.
–

•

Because the core can take some time to disable the endpoint, the application may
not be able to receive the data in the next frame after receiving bad isochronous
data.

Stalling a non-isochronous OUT endpoint

This section describes how the application can stall a non-isochronous endpoint.
1.
2.

Put the core in the Global OUT NAK mode.
Disable the required endpoint
–

When disabling the endpoint, instead of setting the SNAK bit in OTG_DOEPCTL,
set STALL = 1 (in OTG_DOEPCTL).
The STALL bit always takes precedence over the NAK bit.

3.

When the application is ready to end the STALL handshake for the endpoint, the
STALL bit (in OTG_DOEPCTLx) must be cleared.

4.

If the application is setting or clearing a STALL for an endpoint due to a
SetFeature.Endpoint Halt or ClearFeature.Endpoint Halt command, the STALL bit must
be set or cleared before the application sets up the status stage transfer on the control
endpoint.

After a SetConfiguration/SetInterface command, the application initializes all OUT endpoints
by setting CNAK = 1 and EPENA = 1 (in OTG_DOEPCTLx), and setting a suitable
XFRSIZ and PKTCNT in the OTG_DOEPTSIZx register.
1.

host attempts to send data (OUT token) to an endpoint.

2.

When the core receives the OUT token on the USB, it stores the packet in the Rx FIFO
because space is available there.

3.

After writing the complete packet in the Rx FIFO, the core then asserts the RXFLVL
interrupt (in OTG_GINTSTS).

4.

On receiving the PKTCNT number of USB packets, the core internally sets the NAK bit
for this endpoint to prevent it from receiving any more packets.

5.

The application processes the interrupt and reads the data from the Rx FIFO.

6.

When the application has read all the data (equivalent to XFRSIZ), the core generates
an XFRC interrupt (in OTG_DOEPINTx).

7.

The application processes the interrupt and uses the setting of the XFRC interrupt bit
(in OTG_DOEPINTx) to determine that the intended transfer is complete.

Packet write

This section describes how the application writes data packets to the endpoint FIFO when
dedicated transmit FIFOs are enabled.

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

USB on-the-go full-speed/high-speed (OTG_FS/OTG_HS)
1.

2.

The application can either choose the polling or the interrupt mode.
–

In polling mode, the application monitors the status of the endpoint transmit data
FIFO by reading the OTG_DTXFSTSx register, to determine if there is enough
space in the data FIFO.

–

In interrupt mode, the application waits for the TXFE interrupt (in OTG_DIEPINTx)
and then reads the OTG_DTXFSTSx register, to determine if there is enough
space in the data FIFO.

–

To write a single non-zero length data packet, there must be space to write the
entire packet in the data FIFO.

–

To write zero length packet, the application must not look at the FIFO space.

Using one of the above mentioned methods, when the application determines that
there is enough space to write a transmit packet, the application must first write into the
endpoint control register, before writing the data into the data FIFO. Typically, the
application, must do a read modify write on the OTG_DIEPCTLx register to avoid
modifying the contents of the register, except for setting the endpoint enable bit.

The application can write multiple packets for the same endpoint into the transmit FIFO, if
space is available. For periodic IN endpoints, the application must write packets only for one
microframe. It can write packets for the next periodic transaction only after getting transfer
complete for the previous transaction.
•

Setting IN endpoint NAK

Internal data flow:
1.

When the application sets the IN NAK for a particular endpoint, the core stops
transmitting data on the endpoint, irrespective of data availability in the endpoint’s
transmit FIFO.

2.

Non-isochronous IN tokens receive a NAK handshake reply
–

Isochronous IN tokens receive a zero-data-length packet reply

3.

The core asserts the INEPNE (IN endpoint NAK effective) interrupt in OTG_DIEPINTx
in response to the SNAK bit in OTG_DIEPCTLx.

4.

Once this interrupt is seen by the application, the application can assume that the
endpoint is in IN NAK mode. This interrupt can be cleared by the application by setting
the CNAK bit in OTG_DIEPCTLx.

Application programming sequence:
1.

To stop transmitting any data on a particular IN endpoint, the application must set the
IN NAK bit. To set this bit, the following field must be programmed.
–

SNAK = 1 in OTG_DIEPCTLx

2.

Wait for assertion of the INEPNE interrupt in OTG_DIEPINTx. This interrupt indicates
that the core has stopped transmitting data on the endpoint.

3.

The core can transmit valid IN data on the endpoint after the application has set the
NAK bit, but before the assertion of the NAK Effective interrupt.

4.

The application can mask this interrupt temporarily by writing to the INEPNEM bit in
OTG_DIEPMSK.
–

5.

INEPNEM = 0 in OTG_DIEPMSK

To exit endpoint NAK mode, the application must clear the NAK status bit (NAKSTS) in
OTG_DIEPCTLx. This also clears the INEPNE interrupt (in OTG_DIEPINTx).

INEPNEM = 1 in OTG_DIEPMSK

IN endpoint disable

Use the following sequence to disable a specific IN endpoint that has been previously
enabled.
Application programming sequence:
1.
2.

The application must stop writing data on the AHB for the IN endpoint to be disabled.
The application must set the endpoint in NAK mode.
–

SNAK = 1 in OTG_DIEPCTLx

3.

Wait for the INEPNE interrupt in OTG_DIEPINTx.

4.

Set the following bits in the OTG_DIEPCTLx register for the endpoint that must be
disabled.

5.

–

EPDIS = 1 in OTG_DIEPCTLx

–

SNAK = 1 in OTG_DIEPCTLx

Assertion of the EPDISD interrupt in OTG_DIEPINTx indicates that the core has
completely disabled the specified endpoint. Along with the assertion of the interrupt, the
core also clears the following bits:
–

EPENA = 0 in OTG_DIEPCTLx

–

EPDIS = 0 in OTG_DIEPCTLx

6.

The application must read the OTG_DIEPTSIZx register for the periodic IN EP, to
calculate how much data on the endpoint were transmitted on the USB.

7.

The application must flush the data in the endpoint transmit FIFO, by setting the
following fields in the OTG_GRSTCTL register:
–

TXFNUM (in OTG_GRSTCTL) = Endpoint transmit FIFO number

–

TXFFLSH in (OTG_GRSTCTL) = 1

The application must poll the OTG_GRSTCTL register, until the TXFFLSH bit is cleared by
the core, which indicates the end of flush operation. To transmit new data on this endpoint,
the application can re-enable the endpoint at a later point.
•

Generic non-periodic IN data transfers

Application requirements:
1.

Before setting up an IN transfer, the application must ensure that all data to be
transmitted as part of the IN transfer are part of a single buffer.

2.

For IN transfers, the transfer size field in the endpoint transfer size register denotes a
payload that constitutes multiple maximum-packet-size packets and a single short
packet. This short packet is transmitted at the end of the transfer.
–

To transmit a few maximum-packet-size packets and a short packet at the end of
the transfer:
Transfer size[EPNUM] = x × MPSIZ[EPNUM] + sp
If (sp > 0), then packet count[EPNUM] = x + 1.
Otherwise, packet count[EPNUM] = x

–

1514/1724

To transmit a single zero-length data packet:

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

USB on-the-go full-speed/high-speed (OTG_FS/OTG_HS)
Transfer size[EPNUM] = 0
Packet count[EPNUM] = 1
–

To transmit a few maximum-packet-size packets and a zero-length data packet at
the end of the transfer, the application must split the transfer into two parts. The
first sends maximum-packet-size data packets and the second sends the zerolength data packet alone.
First transfer: transfer size[EPNUM] = x × MPSIZ[epnum]; packet count = n;
Second transfer: transfer size[EPNUM] = 0; packet count = 1;

3.

Once an endpoint is enabled for data transfers, the core updates the transfer size
register. At the end of the IN transfer, the application must read the transfer size
register to determine how much data posted in the transmit FIFO have already been
sent on the USB.

4.

Data fetched into transmit FIFO = Application-programmed initial transfer size – coreupdated final transfer size
–

Data transmitted on USB = (application-programmed initial packet count – core
updated final packet count) × MPSIZ[EPNUM]

–

Data yet to be transmitted on USB = (Application-programmed initial transfer size
– data transmitted on USB)

Internal data flow:
1.

The application must set the transfer size and packet count fields in the endpointspecific registers and enable the endpoint to transmit the data.

2.

The application must also write the required data to the transmit FIFO for the endpoint.

3.

Every time a packet is written into the transmit FIFO by the application, the transfer size
for that endpoint is decremented by the packet size. The data is fetched from the
memory by the application, until the transfer size for the endpoint becomes 0. After
writing the data into the FIFO, the “number of packets in FIFO” count is incremented
(this is a 3-bit count, internally maintained by the core for each IN endpoint transmit
FIFO. The maximum number of packets maintained by the core at any time in an IN
endpoint FIFO is eight). For zero-length packets, a separate flag is set for each FIFO,
without any data in the FIFO.

4.

Once the data are written to the transmit FIFO, the core reads them out upon receiving
an IN token. For every non-isochronous IN data packet transmitted with an ACK
handshake, the packet count for the endpoint is decremented by one, until the packet
count is zero. The packet count is not decremented on a timeout.

5.

For zero length packets (indicated by an internal zero length flag), the core sends out a
zero-length packet for the IN token and decrements the packet count field.

6.

If there are no data in the FIFO for a received IN token and the packet count field for
that endpoint is zero, the core generates an “IN token received when Tx FIFO is empty”
(ITTXFE) interrupt for the endpoint, provided that the endpoint NAK bit is not set. The
core responds with a NAK handshake for non-isochronous endpoints on the USB.

7.

The core internally rewinds the FIFO pointers and no timeout interrupt is generated.

8.

When the transfer size is 0 and the packet count is 0, the transfer complete (XFRC)
interrupt for the endpoint is generated and the endpoint enable is cleared.

2.

3.

When transmitting non-zero length data packet, the application must poll the
OTG_DTXFSTSx register (where x is the FIFO number associated with that endpoint)
to determine whether there is enough space in the data FIFO. The application can
optionally use TXFE (in OTG_DIEPINTx) before writing the data.

Generic periodic IN data transfers

This section describes a typical periodic IN data transfer.
Application requirements:
1.

Application requirements 1, 2, 3, and 4 of Generic non-periodic IN data transfers on
page 1514 also apply to periodic IN data transfers, except for a slight modification of
requirement 2.
–

The application can only transmit multiples of maximum-packet-size data packets
or multiples of maximum-packet-size packets, plus a short packet at the end. To
transmit a few maximum-packet-size packets and a short packet at the end of the
transfer, the following conditions must be met:
transfer size[EPNUM] = x × MPSIZ[EPNUM] + sp
(where x is an integer ≥ 0, and 0 ≤ sp < MPSIZ[EPNUM])
If (sp > 0), packet count[EPNUM] = x + 1
Otherwise, packet count[EPNUM] = x;
MCNT[EPNUM] = packet count[EPNUM]

–

The application cannot transmit a zero-length data packet at the end of a transfer.
It can transmit a single zero-length data packet by itself. To transmit a single zerolength data packet:

–

transfer size[EPNUM] = 0
packet count[EPNUM] = 1
MCNT[EPNUM] = packet count[EPNUM]

2.

3.

The application can only schedule data transfers one frame at a time.
–

(MCNT – 1) × MPSIZ ≤ XFERSIZ ≤ MCNT × MPSIZ

–

PKTCNT = MCNT (in OTG_DIEPTSIZx)

–

If XFERSIZ < MCNT × MPSIZ, the last data packet of the transfer is a short
packet.

–

Note that: MCNT is in OTG_DIEPTSIZx, MPSIZ is in OTG_DIEPCTLx, PKTCNT
is in OTG_DIEPTSIZx and XFERSIZ is in OTG_DIEPTSIZx

The complete data to be transmitted in the frame must be written into the transmit FIFO
by the application, before the IN token is received. Even when 1 word of the data to be
transmitted per frame is missing in the transmit FIFO when the IN token is received, the
core behaves as when the FIFO is empty. When the transmit FIFO is empty:
–

A zero data length packet would be transmitted on the USB for isochronous IN
endpoints

–

A NAK handshake would be transmitted on the USB for interrupt IN endpoints

USB on-the-go full-speed/high-speed (OTG_FS/OTG_HS)
1.

The application must set the transfer size and packet count fields in the endpointspecific registers and enable the endpoint to transmit the data.

2.

The application must also write the required data to the associated transmit FIFO for
the endpoint.

3.

Every time the application writes a packet to the transmit FIFO, the transfer size for that
endpoint is decremented by the packet size. The data are fetched from application
memory until the transfer size for the endpoint becomes 0.

4.

When an IN token is received for a periodic endpoint, the core transmits the data in the
FIFO, if available. If the complete data payload (complete packet, in dedicated FIFO
mode) for the frame is not present in the FIFO, then the core generates an IN token
received when Tx FIFO empty interrupt for the endpoint.

5.

6.

–

A zero-length data packet is transmitted on the USB for isochronous IN endpoints

–

A NAK handshake is transmitted on the USB for interrupt IN endpoints

The packet count for the endpoint is decremented by 1 under the following conditions:
–

For isochronous endpoints, when a zero- or non-zero-length data packet is
transmitted

–

For interrupt endpoints, when an ACK handshake is transmitted

–

When the transfer size and packet count are both 0, the transfer completed
interrupt for the endpoint is generated and the endpoint enable is cleared.

At the “Periodic frame Interval” (controlled by PFIVL in OTG_DCFG), when the core
finds non-empty any of the isochronous IN endpoint FIFOs scheduled for the current
frame non-empty, the core generates an IISOIXFR interrupt in OTG_GINTSTS.

Application programming sequence:
1.

Program the OTG_DIEPCTLx register with the endpoint characteristics and set the
CNAK and EPENA bits.

2.

Write the data to be transmitted in the next frame to the transmit FIFO.

3.

Asserting the ITTXFE interrupt (in OTG_DIEPINTx) indicates that the application has
not yet written all data to be transmitted to the transmit FIFO.

4.

If the interrupt endpoint is already enabled when this interrupt is detected, ignore the
interrupt. If it is not enabled, enable the endpoint so that the data can be transmitted on
the next IN token attempt.

5.

Asserting the XFRC interrupt (in OTG_DIEPINTx) with no ITTXFE interrupt in
OTG_DIEPINTx indicates the successful completion of an isochronous IN transfer. A
read to the OTG_DIEPTSIZx register must give transfer size = 0 and packet count = 0,
indicating all data were transmitted on the USB.

6.

Asserting the XFRC interrupt (in OTG_DIEPINTx), with or without the ITTXFE interrupt
(in OTG_DIEPINTx), indicates the successful completion of an interrupt IN transfer. A
read to the OTG_DIEPTSIZx register must give transfer size = 0 and packet count = 0,
indicating all data were transmitted on the USB.

7.

Asserting the incomplete isochronous IN transfer (IISOIXFR) interrupt in
OTG_GINTSTS with none of the aforementioned interrupts indicates the core did not
receive at least 1 periodic IN token in the current frame.

Incomplete isochronous IN data transfers

This section describes what the application must do on an incomplete isochronous IN data
transfer.

RM0385 Rev 8

1517/1724
1527

USB on-the-go full-speed/high-speed (OTG_FS/OTG_HS)

RM0385

Internal data flow:
1.

An isochronous IN transfer is treated as incomplete in one of the following conditions:
a)

The core receives a corrupted isochronous IN token on at least one isochronous
IN endpoint. In this case, the application detects an incomplete isochronous IN
transfer interrupt (IISOIXFR in OTG_GINTSTS).

b)

The application is slow to write the complete data payload to the transmit FIFO
and an IN token is received before the complete data payload is written to the
FIFO. In this case, the application detects an IN token received when Tx FIFO
empty interrupt in OTG_DIEPINTx. The application can ignore this interrupt, as it
eventually results in an incomplete isochronous IN transfer interrupt (IISOIXFR in
OTG_GINTSTS) at the end of periodic frame.
The core transmits a zero-length data packet on the USB in response to the
received IN token.

2.

The application must stop writing the data payload to the transmit FIFO as soon as
possible.

3.

The application must set the NAK bit and the disable bit for the endpoint.

4.

The core disables the endpoint, clears the disable bit, and asserts the endpoint disable
interrupt for the endpoint.

Application programming sequence:
1.

The application can ignore the IN token received when Tx FIFO empty interrupt in
OTG_DIEPINTx on any isochronous IN endpoint, as it eventually results in an
incomplete isochronous IN transfer interrupt (in OTG_GINTSTS).

2.

Assertion of the incomplete isochronous IN transfer interrupt (in OTG_GINTSTS)
indicates an incomplete isochronous IN transfer on at least one of the isochronous IN
endpoints.

3.

The application must read the endpoint control register for all isochronous IN endpoints
to detect endpoints with incomplete IN data transfers.

4.

The application must stop writing data to the Periodic Transmit FIFOs associated with
these endpoints on the AHB.

5.

Program the following fields in the OTG_DIEPCTLx register to disable the endpoint:

6.

–

SNAK = 1 in OTG_DIEPCTLx

–

EPDIS = 1 in OTG_DIEPCTLx

The assertion of the endpoint disabled interrupt in OTG_DIEPINTx indicates that the
core has disabled the endpoint.

At this point, the application must flush the data in the associated transmit FIFO or
overwrite the existing data in the FIFO by enabling the endpoint for a new transfer
in the next microframe. To flush the data, the application must use the
OTG_GRSTCTL register.

Stalling non-isochronous IN endpoints

This section describes how the application can stall a non-isochronous endpoint.
Application programming sequence:

1518/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

USB on-the-go full-speed/high-speed (OTG_FS/OTG_HS)
1.

Disable the IN endpoint to be stalled. Set the STALL bit as well.

2.

EPDIS = 1 in OTG_DIEPCTLx, when the endpoint is already enabled
–

STALL = 1 in OTG_DIEPCTLx

–

The STALL bit always takes precedence over the NAK bit

3.

Assertion of the endpoint disabled interrupt (in OTG_DIEPINTx) indicates to the
application that the core has disabled the specified endpoint.

4.

The application must flush the non-periodic or periodic transmit FIFO, depending on
the endpoint type. In case of a non-periodic endpoint, the application must re-enable
the other non-periodic endpoints that do not need to be stalled, to transmit data.

5.

Whenever the application is ready to end the STALL handshake for the endpoint, the
STALL bit must be cleared in OTG_DIEPCTLx.

6.

If the application sets or clears a STALL bit for an endpoint due to a
SetFeature.Endpoint Halt command or ClearFeature.Endpoint Halt command, the
STALL bit must be set or cleared before the application sets up the status stage
transfer on the control endpoint.

Special case: stalling the control OUT endpoint
The core must stall IN/OUT tokens if, during the data stage of a control transfer, the host
sends more IN/OUT tokens than are specified in the SETUP packet. In this case, the
application must enable the ITTXFE interrupt in OTG_DIEPINTx and the OTEPDIS interrupt
in OTG_DOEPINTx during the data stage of the control transfer, after the core has
transferred the amount of data specified in the SETUP packet. Then, when the application
receives this interrupt, it must set the STALL bit in the corresponding endpoint control
register, and clear this interrupt.

37.16.7

Worst case response time
When the OTG_FS/OTG_HS controller acts as a device, there is a worst case response
time for any tokens that follow an isochronous OUT. This worst case response time depends
on the AHB clock frequency.
The core registers are in the AHB domain, and the core does not accept another token
before updating these register values. The worst case is for any token following an
isochronous OUT, because for an isochronous transaction, there is no handshake and the
next token could come sooner. This worst case value is 7 PHY clocks when the AHB clock
is the same as the PHY clock. When the AHB clock is faster, this value is smaller.
If this worst case condition occurs, the core responds to bulk/interrupt tokens with a NAK
and drops isochronous and SETUP tokens. The host interprets this as a timeout condition
for SETUP and retries the SETUP packet. For isochronous transfers, the Incomplete
isochronous IN transfer interrupt (IISOIXFR) and Incomplete isochronous OUT transfer
interrupt (IISOOXFR) inform the application that isochronous IN/OUT packets were
dropped.

Choosing the value of TRDT in OTG_GUSBCFG
The value in TRDT (OTG_GUSBCFG) is the time it takes for the MAC, in terms of PHY
clocks after it has received an IN token, to get the FIFO status, and thus the first data from
the PFC block. This time involves the synchronization delay between the PHY and AHB
clocks. The worst case delay for this is when the AHB clock is the same as the PHY clock.
In this case, the delay is 5 clocks.

RM0385

Once the MAC receives an IN token, this information (token received) is synchronized to the
AHB clock by the PFC (the PFC runs on the AHB clock). The PFC then reads the data from
the SPRAM and writes them into the dual clock source buffer. The MAC then reads the data
out of the source buffer (4 deep).
If the AHB is running at a higher frequency than the PHY, the application can use a smaller
value for TRDT (in OTG_GUSBCFG).
Figure 484 has the following signals:
•

tkn_rcvd: Token received information from MAC to PFC

•

dynced_tkn_rcvd: Doubled sync tkn_rcvd, from PCLK to HCLK domain

•

spr_read: Read to SPRAM

•

spr_addr: Address to SPRAM

•

spr_rdata: Read data from SPRAM

•

srcbuf_push: Push to the source buffer

•

srcbuf_rdata: Read data from the source buffer. Data seen by MAC

To calculate the value of TRDT, refer to Table 268: TRDT values (FS) or Table 269: TRDT
values (HS).

OTG programming model
The OTG_FS/OTG_HS controller is an OTG device supporting HNP and SRP. When the
core is connected to an “A” plug, it is referred to as an A-device. When the core is connected
to a “B” plug it is referred to as a B-device. In host mode, the OTG_FS/OTG_HS controller
turns off VBUS to conserve power. SRP is a method by which the B-device signals the Adevice to turn on VBUS power. A device must perform both data-line pulsing and VBUS
pulsing, but a host can detect either data-line pulsing or VBUS pulsing for SRP. HNP is a
method by which the B-device negotiates and switches to host role. In Negotiated mode
after HNP, the B-device suspends the bus and reverts to the device role.

A-device session request protocol
The application must set the SRP-capable bit in the core USB configuration register. This
enables the OTG_FS/OTG_HS controller to detect SRP as an A-device.

To save power, the application suspends and turns off port power when the bus is idle
by writing the port suspend and port power bits in the host port control and status
register.

2.

The device must detect SE0 for at least 2 ms to start SRP when VBUS power is off.

4.

To initiate SRP, the device turns on its data line pull-up resistor for 5 to 10 ms. The
OTG_FS/OTG_HS controller detects data-line pulsing.

5.

The device drives VBUS above the A-device session valid (2.0 V minimum) for VBUS
pulsing.
The OTG_FS/OTG_HS controller interrupts the application on detecting SRP. The
session request detected bit is set in Global interrupt status register (SRQINT set in
OTG_GINTSTS).

which the OTG_FS/OTG_HS controller can request a new session from the host.

The following points refer and describe the signal numeration shown in the Figure 486:
1.

To save power, the host suspends and turns off port power when the bus is idle.
The OTG_FS/OTG_HS controller sets the early suspend bit in the core interrupt
register after 3 ms of bus idleness. Following this, the OTG_FS/OTG_HS controller
sets the USB suspend bit in the core interrupt register.
The OTG_FS/OTG_HS controller informs the PHY to discharge VBUS.

2.

The PHY indicates the session’s end to the device. This is the initial condition for SRP.
The OTG_FS/OTG_HS controller requires 2 ms of SE0 before initiating SRP.
For a USB 1.1 full-speed serial transceiver, the application must wait until VBUS
discharges to 0.2 V after BSVLD (in OTG_GOTGCTL) is deasserted. This discharge
time can be obtained from the transceiver vendor and varies from one transceiver to
another.

3.

The OTG_FS/OTG_HS core informs the PHY to speed up VBUS discharge.

4.

The application initiates SRP by writing the session request bit in the OTG control and
status register. The OTG_FS/OTG_HS controller perform data-line pulsing followed by
VBUS pulsing.

5.

The host detects SRP from either the data-line or VBUS pulsing, and turns on VBUS.
The PHY indicates VBUS power-on to the device.

6.

The OTG_FS/OTG_HS controller performs VBUS pulsing.
The host starts a new session by turning on VBUS, indicating SRP success. The

A-device host negotiation protocol
HNP switches the USB host role from the A-device to the B-device. The application must set
the HNP-capable bit in the core USB configuration register to enable the OTG_FS/OTG_HS
controller to perform HNP as an A-device.

control and status register to indicate to the OTG_FS/OTG_HS controller that the Bdevice supports HNP.
2.

When it has finished using the bus, the application suspends by writing the port
suspend bit in the host port control and status register.

3.

When the B-device observes a USB suspend, it disconnects, indicating the initial
condition for HNP. The B-device initiates HNP only when it must switch to the host role;
otherwise, the bus continues to be suspended.
The OTG_FS/OTG_HS controller sets the host negotiation detected interrupt in the
OTG interrupt status register, indicating the start of HNP.
The OTG_FS/OTG_HS controller deasserts the DM pull down and DM pull down in the
PHY to indicate a device role. The PHY enables the OTG_DP pull-up resistor to
indicate a connect for B-device.
The application must read the current mode bit in the OTG control and status register
to determine device mode operation.

4.

The B-device detects the connection, issues a USB reset, and enumerates the
OTG_FS/OTG_HS controller for data traffic.

5.

The B-device continues the host role, initiating traffic, and suspends the bus when
done.
The OTG_FS/OTG_HS controller sets the early suspend bit in the core interrupt
register after 3 ms of bus idleness. Following this, the OTG_FS/OTG_HS controller
sets the USB suspend bit in the core interrupt register.

6.

In Negotiated mode, the OTG_FS/OTG_HS controller detects the suspend,
disconnects, and switches back to the host role. The OTG_FS/OTG_HS controller
asserts the DM pull down and DM pull down in the PHY to indicate its assumption of
the host role.

7.

The OTG_FS/OTG_HS controller sets the connector ID status change interrupt in the
OTG interrupt status register. The application must read the connector ID status in the
OTG control and status register to determine the OTG_FS/OTG_HS controller
operation as an A-device. This indicates the completion of HNP to the application. The
application must read the Current mode bit in the OTG control and status register to
determine host mode operation.

Ethernet functional description: SMI, MII and RMII
The Ethernet peripheral consists of a MAC 802.3 (media access control) with a dedicated
DMA controller. It supports both default media-independent interface (MII) and reduced
media-independent interface (RMII) through one selection bit (refer to SYSCFG_PMC
register).
The DMA controller interfaces with the Core and memories through the AHB Master and
Slave interfaces. The AHB Master Interface controls data transfers while the AHB Slave
interface accesses Control and Status Registers (CSR) space.
The Transmit FIFO (Tx FIFO) buffers data read from system memory by the DMA before
transmission by the MAC Core. Similarly, the Receive FIFO (Rx FIFO) stores the Ethernet
frames received from the line until they are transferred to system memory by the DMA.
The Ethernet peripheral also includes an SMI to communicate with external PHY. A set of
configuration registers permit the user to select the desired mode and features for the MAC
and the DMA controller.

Note:

The AHB clock frequency must be at least 25 MHz when the Ethernet is used.

Station management interface: SMI
The station management interface (SMI) allows the application to access any PHY registers
through a 2-wire clock and data lines. The interface supports accessing up to 32 PHYs.
The application can select one of the 32 PHYs and one of the 32 registers within any PHY
and send control data or receive status information. Only one register in one PHY can be
addressed at any given time.
Both the MDC clock line and the MDIO data line are implemented as alternate function I/O
in the microcontroller:
•

1532/1724

MDC: a periodic clock that provides the timing reference for the data transfer at the
maximum frequency of 2.5 MHz. The minimum high and low times for MDC must be

160 ns each, and the minimum period for MDC must be 400 ns. In idle state the SMI
management interface drives the MDC clock signal low.
•

The management frame consists of eight fields:
•

Preamble: each transaction (read or write) can be initiated with the preamble field that
corresponds to 32 contiguous logic one bits on the MDIO line with 32 corresponding
cycles on MDC. This field is used to establish synchronization with the PHY device.

•

Start: the start of frame is defined by a <01> pattern to verify transitions on the line
from the default logic one state to zero and back to one.

•

Operation: defines the type of transaction (read or write) in progress.

•

PADDR: the PHY address is 5 bits, allowing 32 unique PHY addresses. The MSB bit of
the address is the first transmitted and received.

•

RADDR: the register address is 5 bits, allowing 32 individual registers to be addressed
within the selected PHY device. The MSB bit of the address is the first transmitted and
received.

•

TA: the turn-around field defines a 2-bit pattern between the RADDR and DATA fields
to avoid contention during a read transaction. For a read transaction the MAC controller
drives high-impedance on the MDIO line for the 2 bits of TA. The PHY device must
drive a high-impedance state on the first bit of TA, a zero bit on the second one.

RM0385

For a write transaction, the MAC controller drives a <10> pattern during the TA field.
The PHY device must drive a high-impedance state for the 2 bits of TA.
•

Data: the data field is 16-bit. The first bit transmitted and received must be bit 15 of the
ETH_MIID register.

•

Idle: the MDIO line is driven in high-impedance state. All three-state drivers must be
disabled and the PHY’s pull-up resistor keeps the line at logic one.

SMI write operation
When the application sets the MII Write and Busy bits (in Ethernet MAC MII address register
(ETH_MACMIIAR)), the SMI initiates a write operation into the PHY registers by transferring
the PHY address, the register address in PHY, and the write data (in Ethernet MAC MII data
register (ETH_MACMIIDR). The application should not change the MII Address register
contents or the MII Data register while the transaction is ongoing. Write operations to the MII
Address register or the MII Data Register during this period are ignored (the Busy bit is
high), and the transaction is completed without any error. After the Write operation has
completed, the SMI indicates this by resetting the Busy bit.
Figure 491 shows the frame format for the write operation.

SMI read operation
When the user sets the MII Busy bit in the Ethernet MAC MII address register
(ETH_MACMIIAR) with the MII Write bit at 0, the SMI initiates a read operation in the PHY
registers by transferring the PHY address and the register address in PHY. The application

transaction is ongoing. Write operations to the MII Address register or MII Data Register
during this period are ignored (the Busy bit is high) and the transaction is completed without
any error. After the read operation has completed, the SMI resets the Busy bit and then
updates the MII Data register with the data read from the PHY.

MII clock sources
To generate both TX_CLK and RX_CLK clock signals, the external PHY must be clocked
with an external 25 MHz as shown in Figure 494. Instead of using an external 25 MHz
quartz to provide this clock, the STM32F75xxx and STM32F74xxx microcontrollers can
output this signal on its MCO pin. In this case, the PLL multiplier has to be configured so as
to get the desired frequency on the MCO pin, from the 25 MHz external quartz.

Reduced media-independent interface: RMII
The reduced media-independent interface (RMII) specification reduces the pin count
between the microcontroller Ethernet peripheral and the external Ethernet in 10/100 Mbit/s.
According to the IEEE 802.3u standard, an MII contains 16 pins for data and control. The
RMII specification is dedicated to reduce the pin count to 7 pins (a 62.5% decrease in pin
count).
The RMII is instantiated between the MAC and the PHY. This helps translation of the MAC’s
MII into the RMII. The RMII block has the following characteristics:
•

It supports 10-Mbit/s and 100-Mbit/s operating rates

•

The clock reference must be doubled to 50 MHz

•

The same clock reference must be sourced externally to both MAC and external
Ethernet PHY

•

It provides independent 2-bit wide (dibit) transmit and receive data paths

Ethernet functional description: MAC 802.3
The IEEE 802.3 International Standard for local area networks (LANs) employs the
CSMA/CD (carrier sense multiple access with collision detection) as the access method.
The Ethernet peripheral consists of a MAC 802.3 (media access control) controller with
media independent interface (MII) and a dedicated DMA controller.
The MAC block implements the LAN CSMA/CD sublayer for the following families of
systems: 10 Mbit/s and 100 Mbit/s of data rates for baseband and broadband systems.
Half- and full-duplex operation modes are supported. The collision detection access method
is applied only to the half-duplex operation mode. The MAC control frame sublayer is
supported.
The MAC sublayer performs the following functions associated with a data link control
procedure:
•

•

Data encapsulation (transmit and receive)
–

Framing (frame boundary delimitation, frame synchronization)

–

Addressing (handling of source and destination addresses)

–

Error detection

Media access management
–

Medium allocation (collision avoidance)

–

Contention resolution (collision handling)

Basically there are two operating modes of the MAC sublayer:

38.5.1

•

Half-duplex mode: the stations contend for the use of the physical medium, using the
CSMA/CD algorithms.

•

Full duplex mode: simultaneous transmission and reception without contention
resolution (CSMA/CD algorithm are unnecessary) when all the following conditions are
met:
–

physical medium capability to support simultaneous transmission and reception

–

exactly 2 stations connected to the LAN

–

both stations configured for full-duplex operation

MAC 802.3 frame format
The MAC block implements the MAC sublayer and the optional MAC control sublayer
(10/100 Mbit/s) as specified by the IEEE 802.3-2002 standard.
Two frame formats are specified for data communication systems using the CSMA/CD
MAC:

Ethernet (ETH): media access control (MAC) with DMA controller
Figure 499 and Figure 500 describe the frame structure (untagged and tagged) that
includes the following fields:
•

Preamble: 7-byte field used for synchronization purposes (PLS circuitry)
Hexadecimal value: 55-55-55-55-55-55-55
Bit pattern: 01010101 01010101 01010101 01010101 01010101 01010101 01010101
(right-to-left bit transmission)

•

Start frame delimiter (SFD): 1-byte field used to indicate the start of a frame.
Hexadecimal value: D5
Bit pattern: 11010101 (right-to-left bit transmission)

•

Destination and Source Address fields: 6-byte fields to indicate the destination and
source station addresses as follows (see Figure 498):
–

Each address is 48 bits in length

–

The first LSB bit (I/G) in the destination address field is used to indicate an
individual (I/G = 0) or a group address (I/G = 1). A group address could identify
none, one or more, or all the stations connected to the LAN. In the source address
the first bit is reserved and reset to 0.

–

The second bit (U/L) distinguishes between locally (U/L = 1) or globally (U/L = 0)
administered addresses. For broadcast addresses this bit is also 1.

–

Each byte of each address field must be transmitted least significant bit first.

The address designation is based on the following types:
•

Individual address: this is the physical address associated with a particular station on
the network.

•

Group address. A multidestination address associated with one or more stations on a
given network. There are two kinds of multicast address:
–

Multicast-group address: an address associated with a group of logically related
stations.

–

Broadcast address: a distinguished, predefined multicast address (all 1’s in the
destination address field) that always denotes all the stations on a given LAN.

QTag Prefix: 4-byte field inserted between the Source address field and the MAC Client
Length/Type field. This field is an extension of the basic frame (untagged) to obtain the
tagged MAC frame. The untagged MAC frames do not include this field. The
extensions for tagging are as follows:
–

2-byte constant Length/Type field value consistent with the Type interpretation
(greater than 0x0600) equal to the value of the 802.1Q Tag Protocol Type (0x8100

hexadecimal). This constant field is used to distinguish tagged and untagged MAC
frames.
–

•

2-byte field containing the Tag control information field subdivided as follows: a 3bit user priority, a canonical format indicator (CFI) bit and a 12-bit VLAN Identifier.
The length of the tagged MAC frame is extended by 4 bytes by the QTag Prefix.

MAC client length/type: 2-byte field with different meaning (mutually exclusive),
depending on its value:
–

If the value is less than or equal to maxValidFrame (0d1500) then this field
indicates the number of MAC client data bytes contained in the subsequent data
field of the 802.3 frame (length interpretation).

–

If the value is greater than or equal to MinTypeValue (0d1536 decimal, 0x0600)
then this field indicates the nature of the MAC client protocol (Type interpretation)
related to the Ethernet frame.

Regardless of the interpretation of the length/type field, if the length of the data field is
less than the minimum required for proper operation of the protocol, a PAD field is
added after the data field but prior to the FCS (frame check sequence) field. The
length/type field is transmitted and received with the higher-order byte first.
For length/type field values in the range between maxValidLength and minTypeValue
(boundaries excluded), the behavior of the MAC sublayer is not specified: they may or
may not be passed by the MAC sublayer.
•

Data and PAD fields: n-byte data field. Full data transparency is provided, it means that
any arbitrary sequence of byte values may appear in the data field. The size of the
PAD, if any, is determined by the size of the data field. Max and min length of the data
and PAD field are:
–

Maximum length = 1500 bytes

–

Minimum length for untagged MAC frames = 46 bytes

–

Minimum length for tagged MAC frames = 42 bytes

When the data field length is less than the minimum required, the PAD field is added to
match the minimum length (42 bytes for tagged frames, 46 bytes for untagged frames).
•

Frame check sequence: 4-byte field that contains the cyclic redundancy check (CRC)
value. The CRC computation is based on the following fields: source address,
destination address, QTag prefix, length/type, LLC data and PAD (that is, all fields
except the preamble, SFD). The generating polynomial is the following:

The CRC value of a frame is computed as follows:

1542/1724

•

The first 2 bits of the frame are complemented

•

The n-bits of the frame are the coefficients of a polynomial M(x) of degree (n – 1). The
first bit of the destination address corresponds to the xn – 1 term and the last bit of the
data field corresponds to the x0 term

•

M(x) is multiplied by x32 and divided by G(x), producing a remainder R(x) of degree ≤
31

•

The coefficients of R(x) are considered as a 32-bit sequence

•

The bit sequence is complemented and the result is the CRC

•

The 32-bits of the CRC value are placed in the frame check sequence. The x32 term is
the first transmitted, the x0 term is the last one

Each byte of the MAC frame, except the FCS field, is transmitted low-order bit first.
An invalid MAC frame is defined by one of the following conditions:
•

The frame length is inconsistent with the expected value as specified by the length/type
field. If the length/type field contains a type value, then the frame length is assumed to
be consistent with this field (no invalid frame)

•

The frame length is not an integer number of bytes (extra bits)

•

The CRC value computed on the incoming frame does not match the included FCS

MAC frame transmission
The DMA controls all transactions for the transmit path. Ethernet frames read from the
system memory are pushed into the FIFO by the DMA. The frames are then popped out and
transferred to the MAC core. When the end-of-frame is transferred, the status of the
transmission is taken from the MAC core and transferred back to the DMA. The Transmit
FIFO has a depth of 2 Kbyte. FIFO-fill level is indicated to the DMA so that it can initiate a
data fetch in required bursts from the system memory, using the AHB interface. The data
from the AHB Master interface is pushed into the FIFO.
When the SOF is detected, the MAC accepts the data and begins transmitting to the MII.
The time required to transmit the frame data to the MII after the application initiates
transmission is variable, depending on delay factors like IFG delay, time to transmit
preamble/SFD, and any back-off delays for Half-duplex mode. After the EOF is transferred
to the MAC core, the core completes normal transmission and then gives the status of
transmission back to the DMA. If a normal collision (in Half-duplex mode) occurs during
transmission, the MAC core makes the transmit status valid, then accepts and drops all
further data until the next SOF is received. The same frame should be retransmitted from
SOF on observing a Retry request (in the Status) from the MAC. The MAC issues an
underflow status if the data are not provided continuously during the transmission. During
the normal transfer of a frame, if the MAC receives an SOF without getting an EOF for the
previous frame, then the SOF is ignored and the new frame is considered as the
continuation of the previous frame.
There are two modes of operation for popping data towards the MAC core:
•

In Threshold mode, as soon as the number of bytes in the FIFO crosses the configured
threshold level (or when the end-of-frame is written before the threshold is crossed),
the data is ready to be popped out and forwarded to the MAC core. The threshold level
is configured using the TTC bits of ETH_DMABMR.

•

In Store-and-forward mode, only after a complete frame is stored in the FIFO, the frame
is popped towards the MAC core. If the Tx FIFO size is smaller than the Ethernet frame
to be transmitted, then the frame is popped towards the MAC core when the Tx FIFO
becomes almost full.

The application can flush the Transmit FIFO of all contents by setting the FTF
(ETH_DMAOMR register [20]) bit. This bit is self-clearing and initializes the FIFO pointers to
the default state. If the FTF bit is set during a frame transfer to the MAC core, then transfer
is stopped as the FIFO is considered to be empty. Hence an underflow event occurs at the
MAC transmitter and the corresponding Status word is forwarded to the DMA.

Automatic CRC and pad generation
When the number of bytes received from the application falls below 60 (DA+SA+LT+Data),
zeros are appended to the transmitting frame to make the data length exactly 46 bytes to
meet the minimum data field requirement of IEEE 802.3. The MAC can be programmed not
to append any padding. The cyclic redundancy check (CRC) for the frame check sequence
(FCS) field is calculated and appended to the data being transmitted. When the MAC is
programmed to not append the CRC value to the end of Ethernet frames, the computed
CRC is not transmitted. An exception to this rule is that when the MAC is programmed to
append pads for frames (DA+SA+LT+Data) less than 60 bytes, CRC will be appended at the
end of the padded frames.

Transmit protocol
The MAC controls the operation of Ethernet frame transmission. It performs the following
functions to meet the IEEE 802.3/802.3z specifications. It:
•

generates the preamble and SFD

•

generates the jam pattern in Half-duplex mode

•

controls the Jabber timeout

•

controls the flow for Half-duplex mode (back pressure)

•

generates the transmit frame status

•

contains time stamp snapshot logic in accordance with IEEE 1588

When a new frame transmission is requested, the MAC sends out the preamble and SFD,
followed by the data. The preamble is defined as 7 bytes of 0b10101010 pattern, and the
SFD is defined as 1 byte of 0b10101011 pattern. The collision window is defined as 1 slot
time (512 bit times for 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet). The jam pattern generation is applicable only
to Half-duplex mode, not to Full-duplex mode.
In MII mode, if a collision occurs at any time from the beginning of the frame to the end of
the CRC field, the MAC sends a 32-bit jam pattern of 0x5555 5555 on the MII to inform all
other stations that a collision has occurred. If the collision is seen during the preamble
transmission phase, the MAC completes the transmission of the preamble and SFD and
then sends the jam pattern.
A jabber timer is maintained to cut off the transmission of Ethernet frames if more than 2048
(default) bytes have to be transferred. The MAC uses the deferral mechanism for flow
control (back pressure) in Half-duplex mode. When the application requests to stop
receiving frames, the MAC sends a JAM pattern of 32 bytes whenever it senses the
reception of a frame, provided that transmit flow control is enabled. This results in a collision
and the remote station backs off. The application requests flow control by setting the BPA bit
(bit 0) in the ETH_MACFCR register. If the application requests a frame to be transmitted,
then it is scheduled and transmitted even when back pressure is activated. Note that if back
pressure is kept activated for a long time (and more than 16 consecutive collision events
occur) then the remote stations abort their transmissions due to excessive collisions. If IEEE
1588 time stamping is enabled for the transmit frame, this block takes a snapshot of the
system time when the SFD is put onto the transmit MII bus.

Transmit scheduler
The MAC is responsible for scheduling the frame transmission on the MII. It maintains the
interframe gap between two transmitted frames and follows the truncated binary exponential
backoff algorithm for Half-duplex mode. The MAC enables transmission after satisfying the
IFG and backoff delays. It maintains an idle period of the configured interframe gap (IFG bits
in the ETH_MACCR register) between any two transmitted frames. If frames to be
transmitted arrive sooner than the configured IFG time, the MII waits for the enable signal
from the MAC before starting the transmission on it. The MAC starts its IFG counter as soon
as the carrier signal of the MII goes inactive. At the end of the programmed IFG value, the
MAC enables transmission in Full-duplex mode. In Half-duplex mode and when IFG is

RM0385 Rev 8

1545/1724
1649

Ethernet (ETH): media access control (MAC) with DMA controller

RM0385

configured for 96 bit times, the MAC follows the rule of deference specified in Section
4.2.3.2.1 of the IEEE 802.3 specification. The MAC resets its IFG counter if a carrier is
detected during the first two-thirds (64-bit times for all IFG values) of the IFG interval. If the
carrier is detected during the final one third of the IFG interval, the MAC continues the IFG
count and enables the transmitter after the IFG interval. The MAC implements the truncated
binary exponential backoff algorithm when it operates in Half-duplex mode.

Transmit flow control
When the Transmit Flow Control Enable bit (TFE bit in ETH_MACFCR) is set, the MAC
generates Pause frames and transmits them as necessary, in Full-duplex mode. The Pause
frame is appended with the calculated CRC, and is sent. Pause frame generation can be
initiated in two ways.
A pause frame is sent either when the application sets the FCB bit in the ETH_MACFCR
register or when the receive FIFO is full (packet buffer).
•

If the application has requested flow control by setting the FCB bit in ETH_MACFCR,
the MAC generates and transmits a single Pause frame. The value of the pause time in
the generated frame contains the programmed pause time value in ETH_MACFCR. To
extend the pause or end the pause prior to the time specified in the previously
transmitted Pause frame, the application must request another Pause frame
transmission after programming the Pause Time value (PT in ETH_MACFCR register)
with the appropriate value.

•

If the application has requested flow control when the receive FIFO is full, the MAC
generates and transmits a Pause frame. The value of the pause time in the generated
frame is the programmed pause time value in ETH_MACFCR. If the receive FIFO
remains full at a configurable number of slot-times (PLT bits in ETH_MACFCR) before
this Pause time runs out, a second Pause frame is transmitted. The process is
repeated as long as the receive FIFO remains full. If this condition is no more satisfied
prior to the sampling time, the MAC transmits a Pause frame with zero pause time to
indicate to the remote end that the receive buffer is ready to receive new data frames.

Single-packet transmit operation
The general sequence of events for a transmit operation is as follows:
1.

If the system has data to be transferred, the DMA controller fetches them from the
memory through the AHB Master interface and starts forwarding them to the FIFO. It
continues to receive the data until the end of frame is transferred.

2.

When the threshold level is crossed or a full packet of data is received into the FIFO,
the frame data are popped and driven to the MAC core. The DMA continues to transfer
data from the FIFO until a complete packet has been transferred to the MAC. Upon
completion of the frame, the DMA controller is notified by the status coming from the
MAC.

Transmit operation—Two packets in the buffer

1546/1724

1.

Because the DMA must update the descriptor status before releasing it to the Host,
there can be at the most two frames inside a transmit FIFO. The second frame is
fetched by the DMA and put into the FIFO only if the OSF (operate on second frame)
bit is set. If this bit is not set, the next frame is fetched from the memory only after the
MAC has completely processed the frame and the DMA has released the descriptors.

2.

If the OSF bit is set, the DMA starts fetching the second frame immediately after
completing the transfer of the first frame to the FIFO. It does not wait for the status to
be updated. In the meantime, the second frame is received into the FIFO while the first

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Ethernet (ETH): media access control (MAC) with DMA controller
frame is being transmitted. As soon as the first frame has been transferred and the
status is received from the MAC, it is pushed to the DMA. If the DMA has already
completed sending the second packet to the FIFO, the second transmission must wait
for the status of the first packet before proceeding to the next frame.

Retransmission during collision
While a frame is being transferred to the MAC, a collision event may occur on the MAC line
interface in Half-duplex mode. The MAC would then indicate a retry attempt by giving the
status even before the end of frame is received. Then the retransmission is enabled and the
frame is popped out again from the FIFO. After more than 96 bytes have been popped
towards the MAC core, the FIFO controller frees up that space and makes it available to the
DMA to push in more data. This means that the retransmission is not possible after this
threshold is crossed or when the MAC core indicates a late collision event.

Transmit FIFO flush operation
The MAC provides a control to the software to flush the Transmit FIFO through the use of Bit
20 in the Operation mode register. The Flush operation is immediate and the Tx FIFO and
the corresponding pointers are cleared to the initial state even if the Tx FIFO is in the middle
of transferring a frame to the MAC Core. This results in an underflow event in the MAC
transmitter, and the frame transmission is aborted. The status of such a frame is marked
with both underflow and frame flush events (TDES0 bits 13 and 1). No data are coming to
the FIFO from the application (DMA) during the Flush operation. Transfer transmit status
words are transferred to the application for the number of frames that is flushed (including
partial frames). Frames that are completely flushed have the Frame flush status bit (TDES0
13) set. The Flush operation is completed when the application (DMA) has accepted all of
the Status words for the frames that were flushed. The Transmit FIFO Flush control register
bit is then cleared. At this point, new frames from the application (DMA) are accepted. All
data presented for transmission after a Flush operation are discarded unless they start with
an SOF marker.

Transmit status word
At the end of the Ethernet frame transfer to the MAC core and after the core has completed
the transmission of the frame, the transmit status is given to the application. The detailed
description of the Transmit Status is the same as for bits [23:0] in TDES0. If IEEE 1588 time
stamping is enabled, a specific frames’ 64-bit time stamp is returned, along with the transmit
status.

Transmit checksum offload
Communication protocols such as TCP and UDP implement checksum fields, which helps
determine the integrity of data transmitted over a network. Because the most widespread
use of Ethernet is to encapsulate TCP and UDP over IP datagrams, the Ethernet controller
has a transmit checksum offload feature that supports checksum calculation and insertion in
the transmit path, and error detection in the receive path. This section explains the operation
of the checksum offload feature for transmitted frames.
Note:

The checksum for TCP, UDP or ICMP is calculated over a complete frame, then inserted
into its corresponding header field. Due to this requirement, this function is enabled only
when the Transmit FIFO is configured for Store-and-forward mode (that is, when the TSF bit

RM0385 Rev 8

1547/1724
1649

Ethernet (ETH): media access control (MAC) with DMA controller

RM0385

is set in the ETH_ETH_DMAOMR register). If the core is configured for Threshold (cutthrough) mode, the Transmit checksum offload is bypassed.
The user must make sure the Transmit FIFO is deep enough to store a complete frame
before that frame is transferred to the MAC Core transmitter. If the FIFO depth is less than
the input Ethernet frame size, the payload (TCP/UDP/ICMP) checksum insertion function is
bypassed and only the frame’s IPv4 Header checksum is modified, even in Store-andforward mode.
The transmit checksum offload supports two types of checksum calculation and insertion.
This checksum can be controlled for each frame by setting the CIC bits (Bits 28:27 in
TDES1, described in TDES1: Transmit descriptor Word1 on page 1581).
See IETF specifications RFC 791, RFC 793, RFC 768, RFC 792, RFC 2460 and RFC 4443
for IPv4, TCP, UDP, ICMP, IPv6 and ICMPv6 packet header specifications, respectively.
•

IP header checksum
In IPv4 datagrams, the integrity of the header fields is indicated by the 16-bit header
checksum field (the eleventh and twelfth bytes of the IPv4 datagram). The checksum
offload detects an IPv4 datagram when the Ethernet frame’s Type field has the value
0x0800 and the IP datagram’s Version field has the value 0x4. The input frame’s
checksum field is ignored during calculation and replaced by the calculated value. IPv6
headers do not have a checksum field; thus, the checksum offload does not modify
IPv6 header fields. The result of this IP header checksum calculation is indicated by the
IP Header Error status bit in the Transmit status (Bit 16). This status bit is set whenever
the values of the Ethernet Type field and the IP header’s Version field are not
consistent, or when the Ethernet frame does not have enough data, as indicated by the
IP header Length field. In other words, this bit is set when an IP header error is
asserted under the following circumstances:

1548/1724

a)

For IPv4 datagrams:

–

The received Ethernet type is 0x0800, but the IP header’s Version field does not
equal 0x4

–

The IPv4 Header Length field indicates a value less than 0x5 (20 bytes)

–

The total frame length is less than the value given in the IPv4 Header Length field

b)

For IPv6 datagrams:

–

The Ethernet type is 0x86DD but the IP header Version field does not equal 0x6

–

The frame ends before the IPv6 header (40 bytes) or extension header (as given
in the corresponding Header Length field in an extension header) has been
completely received. Even when the checksum offload detects such an IP header
error, it inserts an IPv4 header checksum if the Ethernet Type field indicates an
IPv4 payload.

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Ethernet (ETH): media access control (MAC) with DMA controller
•

TCP/UDP/ICMP checksum
The TCP/UDP/ICMP checksum processes the IPv4 or IPv6 header (including
extension headers) and determines whether the encapsulated payload is TCP, UDP or
ICMP.
Note that:
a)

For non-TCP, -UDP, or -ICMP/ICMPv6 payloads, this checksum is bypassed and
nothing further is modified in the frame.

b)

Fragmented IP frames (IPv4 or IPv6), IP frames with security features (such as an
authentication header or encapsulated security payload), and IPv6 frames with
routing headers are bypassed and not processed by the checksum.

The checksum is calculated for the TCP, UDP, or ICMP payload and inserted into its
corresponding field in the header. It can work in the following two modes:
–

In the first mode, the TCP, UDP, or ICMPv6 pseudo-header is not included in the
checksum calculation and is assumed to be present in the input frame’s checksum
field. The checksum field is included in the checksum calculation, and then
replaced by the final calculated checksum.

–

In the second mode, the checksum field is ignored, the TCP, UDP, or ICMPv6
pseudo-header data are included into the checksum calculation, and the
checksum field is overwritten with the final calculated value.

Note that: for ICMP-over-IPv4 packets, the checksum field in the ICMP packet must
always be 0x0000 in both modes, because pseudo-headers are not defined for such
packets. If it does not equal 0x0000, an incorrect checksum may be inserted into the
packet.
The result of this operation is indicated by the payload checksum error status bit in the
Transmit Status vector (bit 12). The payload checksum error status bit is set when
either of the following is detected:
–

the frame has been forwarded to the MAC transmitter in Store-and-forward mode
without the end of frame being written to the FIFO

–

the packet ends before the number of bytes indicated by the payload length field in
the IP header is received.

When the packet is longer than the indicated payload length, the bytes are ignored as
stuff bytes, and no error is reported. When the first type of error is detected, the TCP,
UDP or ICMP header is not modified. For the second error type, still, the calculated
checksum is inserted into the corresponding header field.

MII/RMII transmit bit order
Each nibble from the MII is transmitted on the RMII a dibit at a time with the order of dibit
transmission shown in Figure 501. Lower order bits (D1 and D0) are transmitted first
followed by higher order bits (D2 and D3).

MAC frame reception
The MAC received frames are pushes into the Rx FIFO. The status (fill level) of this FIFO is
indicated to the DMA once it crosses the configured receive threshold (RTC in the
ETH_DMAOMR register) so that the DMA can initiate pre-configured burst transfers
towards the AHB interface.
In the default Cut-through mode, when 64 bytes (configured with the RTC bits in the
ETH_DMAOMR register) or a full packet of data are received into the FIFO, the data are
popped out and the DMA is notified of its availability. Once the DMA has initiated the
transfer to the AHB interface, the data transfer continues from the FIFO until a complete

RM0385 Rev 8

1551/1724
1649

Ethernet (ETH): media access control (MAC) with DMA controller

RM0385

packet has been transferred. Upon completion of the EOF frame transfer, the status word is
popped out and sent to the DMA controller.
In Rx FIFO Store-and-forward mode (configured by the RSF bit in the ETH_DMAOMR
register), a frame is read out only after being written completely into the Receive FIFO. In
this mode, all error frames are dropped (if the core is configured to do so) such that only
valid frames are read out and forwarded to the application. In Cut-through mode, some error
frames are not dropped, because the error status is received at the end of the frame, by
which time the start of that frame has already been read out of the FIFO.
A receive operation is initiated when the MAC detects an SFD on the MII. The core strips the
preamble and SFD before proceeding to process the frame. The header fields are checked
for the filtering and the FCS field used to verify the CRC for the frame. The frame is dropped
in the core if it fails the address filter.

Receive protocol
The received frame preamble and SFD are stripped. Once the SFD has been detected, the
MAC starts sending the Ethernet frame data to the receive FIFO, beginning with the first
byte following the SFD (destination address). If IEEE 1588 time stamping is enabled, a
snapshot of the system time is taken when any frame's SFD is detected on the MII. Unless
the MAC filters out and drops the frame, this time stamp is passed on to the application.
If the received frame length/type field is less than 0x600 and if the MAC is programmed for
the auto CRC/pad stripping option, the MAC sends the data of the frame to RxFIFO up to
the count specified in the length/type field, then starts dropping bytes (including the FCS
field). If the Length/Type field is greater than or equal to 0x600, the MAC sends all received
Ethernet frame data to Rx FIFO, regardless of the value on the programmed auto-CRC strip
option. The MAC watchdog timer is enabled by default, that is, frames above 2048 bytes
(DA + SA + LT + Data + pad + FCS) are cut off. This feature can be disabled by
programming the watchdog disable (WD) bit in the MAC configuration register. However,
even if the watchdog timer is disabled, frames greater than 16 KB in size are cut off and a
watchdog timeout status is given.

Receive CRC: automatic CRC and pad stripping
The MAC checks for any CRC error in the receiving frame. It calculates the 32-bit CRC for
the received frame that includes the Destination address field through the FCS field. The
encoding is defined by the following polynomial.
G( x) = x

Regardless of the auto-pad/CRC strip, the MAC receives the entire frame to compute the
CRC check for the received frame.

Receive checksum offload
Both IPv4 and IPv6 frames in the received Ethernet frames are detected and processed for
data integrity. The user can enable the receive checksum offload by setting the IPCO bit in
the ETH_MACCR register. The MAC receiver identifies IPv4 or IPv6 frames by checking for
value 0x0800 or 0x86DD, respectively, in the received Ethernet frame Type field. This
identification applies to VLAN-tagged frames as well. The receive checksum offload
calculates IPv4 header checksums and checks that they match the received IPv4 header
checksums. The IP Header Error bit is set for any mismatch between the indicated payload

1552/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Ethernet (ETH): media access control (MAC) with DMA controller
type (Ethernet Type field) and the IP header version, or when the received frame does not
have enough bytes, as indicated by the IPv4 header’s Length field (or when fewer than 20
bytes are available in an IPv4 or IPv6 header). The receive checksum offload also identifies
a TCP, UDP or ICMP payload in the received IP datagrams (IPv4 or IPv6) and calculates the
checksum of such payloads properly, as defined in the TCP, UDP or ICMP specifications. It
includes the TCP/UDP/ICMPv6 pseudo-header bytes for checksum calculation and checks
whether the received checksum field matches the calculated value. The result of this
operation is given as a Payload Checksum Error bit in the receive status word. This status
bit is also set if the length of the TCP, UDP or ICMP payload does not match the expected
payload length given in the IP header. As mentioned in TCP/UDP/ICMP checksum on
page 1549, the receive checksum offload bypasses the payload of fragmented IP
datagrams, IP datagrams with security features, IPv6 routing headers, and payloads other
than TCP, UDP or ICMP. This information (whether the checksum is bypassed or not) is
given in the receive status, as described in the RDES0: Receive descriptor Word0 section.
In this configuration, the core does not append any payload checksum bytes to the received
Ethernet frames.
As mentioned in RDES0: Receive descriptor Word0 on page 1588, the meaning of certain
register bits changes as shown in Table 277.

Receive frame controller
If the RA bit is reset in the MAC CSR frame filter register, the MAC performs frame filtering
based on the destination/source address (the application still needs to perform another level
of filtering if it decides not to receive any bad frames like runt, CRC error frames, etc.). On
detecting a filter-fail, the frame is dropped and not transferred to the application. When the
filtering parameters are changed dynamically, and in case of (DA-SA) filter-fail, the rest of
RM0385 Rev 8

1553/1724
1649

Ethernet (ETH): media access control (MAC) with DMA controller

RM0385

the frame is dropped and the Rx Status Word is immediately updated (with zero frame
length, CRC error and Runt Error bits set), indicating the filter fail. In Ethernet power down
mode, all received frames are dropped, and are not forwarded to the application.

Receive flow control
The MAC detects the receiving Pause frame and pauses the frame transmission for the
delay specified within the received Pause frame (only in Full-duplex mode). The Pause
frame detection function can be enabled or disabled with the RFCE bit in ETH_MACFCR.
Once receive flow control has been enabled, the received frame destination address begins
to be monitored for any match with the multicast address of the control frame
(0x0180 C200 0001). If a match is detected (the destination address of the received frame
matches the reserved control frame destination address), the MAC then decides whether or
not to transfer the received control frame to the application, based on the level of the PCF
bit in ETH_MACFFR.
The MAC also decodes the type, opcode, and Pause Timer fields of the receiving control
frame. If the byte count of the status indicates 64 bytes, and if there is no CRC error, the
MAC transmitter pauses the transmission of any data frame for the duration of the decoded
Pause time value, multiplied by the slot time (64 byte times for both 10/100 Mbit/s modes).
Meanwhile, if another Pause frame is detected with a zero Pause time value, the MAC
resets the Pause time and manages this new pause request.
If the received control frame matches neither the type field (0x8808), the opcode (0x00001),
nor the byte length (64 bytes), or if there is a CRC error, the MAC does not generate a
Pause.
In the case of a pause frame with a multicast destination address, the MAC filters the frame
based on the address match.
For a pause frame with a unicast destination address, the MAC filtering depends on whether
the DA matched the contents of the MAC address 0 register and whether the UPDF bit in
ETH_MACFCR is set (detecting a pause frame even with a unicast destination address).
The PCF register bits (bits [7:6] in ETH_MACFFR) control filtering for control frames in
addition to address filtering.

Receive operation multiframe handling
Since the status is available immediately following the data, the FIFO is capable of storing
any number of frames into it, as long as it is not full.

Error handling
If the Rx FIFO is full before it receives the EOF data from the MAC, an overflow is declared
and the whole frame is dropped, and the overflow counter in the (ETH_DMAMFBOCR
register) is incremented. The status indicates a partial frame due to overflow. The Rx FIFO
can filter error and undersized frames, if enabled (using the FEF and FUGF bits in
ETH_DMAOMR).
If the Receive FIFO is configured to operate in Store-and-forward mode, all error frames can
be filtered and dropped.
In Cut-through mode, if a frame's status and length are available when that frame's SOF is
read from the Rx FIFO, then the complete erroneous frame can be dropped. The DMA can
flush the error frame being read from the FIFO, by enabling the receive frame flash bit. The
data transfer to the application (DMA) is then stopped and the rest of the frame is internally
read and dropped. The next frame transfer can then be started, if available.

Receive status word
At the end of the Ethernet frame reception, the MAC outputs the receive status to the
application (DMA). The detailed description of the receive status is the same as for
bits[31:0] in RDES0, given in RDES0: Receive descriptor Word0.

Frame length interface
In case of switch applications, data transmission and reception between the application and
MAC happen as complete frame transfers. The application layer should be aware of the
length of the frames received from the ingress port in order to transfer the frame to the
egress port. The MAC core provides the frame length of each received frame inside the
status at the end of each frame reception.
A frame length value of 0 is given for partial frames written into the Rx FIFO due to overflow.

MII/RMII receive bit order
Each nibble is transmitted to the MII from the dibit received from the RMII in the nibble
transmission order shown in Figure 505. The lower-order bits (D0 and D1) are received first,
followed by the higher-order bits (D2 and D3).

Ethernet (ETH): media access control (MAC) with DMA controller

MAC interrupts
Interrupts can be generated from the MAC core as a result of various events.
The ETH_MACSR register describes the events that can cause an interrupt from the MAC
core. The user can prevent each event from asserting the interrupt by setting the
corresponding mask bits in the Interrupt Mask register.
The interrupt register bits only indicate the block from which the event is reported. The user
has to read the corresponding status registers and other registers to clear the interrupt. For
example, bit 3 of the Interrupt register, set high, indicates that the Magic packet or Wake-onLAN frame is received in Power-down mode. The user must read the ETH_MACPMTCSR
Register to clear this interrupt event.

MAC filtering
Address filtering
Address filtering checks the destination and source addresses on all received frames and
the address filtering status is reported accordingly. Address checking is based on different
parameters (Frame filter register) chosen by the application. The filtered frame can also be
identified: multicast or broadcast frame.
Address filtering uses the station's physical (MAC) address and the Multicast Hash table for
address checking purposes.

Unicast destination address filter
The MAC supports up to 4 MAC addresses for unicast perfect filtering. If perfect filtering is
selected (HU bit in the Frame filter register is reset), the MAC compares all 48 bits of the
received unicast address with the programmed MAC address for any match. Default
MacAddr0 is always enabled, other addresses MacAddr1–MacAddr3 are selected with an
individual enable bit. Each byte of these other addresses (MacAddr1–MacAddr3) can be
masked during comparison with the corresponding received DA byte by setting the
corresponding Mask Byte Control bit in the register. This helps group address filtering for the
DA. In Hash filtering mode (when HU bit is set), the MAC performs imperfect filtering for
unicast addresses using a 64-bit Hash table. For hash filtering, the MAC uses the 6 upper
CRC (see note 1 below) bits of the received destination address to index the content of the
Hash table. A value of 000000 selects bit 0 in the selected register, and a value of 111111
selects bit 63 in the Hash Table register. If the corresponding bit (indicated by the 6-bit CRC)

is set to 1, the unicast frame is said to have passed the Hash filter; otherwise, the frame has
failed the Hash filter.
Note:

This CRC is a 32-bit value coded by the following polynomial (for more details refer to

Multicast destination address filter
The MAC can be programmed to pass all multicast frames by setting the PAM bit in the
Frame filter register. If the PAM bit is reset, the MAC performs the filtering for multicast
addresses based on the HM bit in the Frame filter register. In Perfect filtering mode, the
multicast address is compared with the programmed MAC destination address registers
(1–3). Group address filtering is also supported. In Hash filtering mode, the MAC performs
imperfect filtering using a 64-bit Hash table. For hash filtering, the MAC uses the 6 upper
CRC (see note 1 below) bits of the received multicast address to index the content of the
Hash table. A value of 000000 selects bit 0 in the selected register and a value of 111111
selects bit 63 in the Hash Table register. If the corresponding bit is set to 1, then the
multicast frame is said to have passed the Hash filter; otherwise, the frame has failed the
Hash filter.

Hash or perfect address filter
The DA filter can be configured to pass a frame when its DA matches either the Hash filter
or the Perfect filter by setting the HPF bit in the Frame filter register and setting the
corresponding HU or HM bits. This configuration applies to both unicast and multicast
frames. If the HPF bit is reset, only one of the filters (Hash or Perfect) is applied to the
received frame.

Broadcast address filter
The MAC does not filter any broadcast frames in the default mode. However, if the MAC is
programmed to reject all broadcast frames by setting the BFD bit in the Frame filter register,
any broadcast frames are dropped.

Unicast source address filter
The MAC can also perform perfect filtering based on the source address field of the
received frames. By default, the MAC compares the SA field with the values programmed in
the SA registers. The MAC address registers [1:3] can be configured to contain SA instead
of DA for comparison, by setting bit 30 in the corresponding register. Group filtering with SA
is also supported. The frames that fail the SA filter are dropped by the MAC if the SAF bit in
the Frame filter register is set. Otherwise, the result of the SA filter is given as a status bit in
the Receive Status word (see RDES0: Receive descriptor Word0).
When the SAF bit is set, the result of the SA and DA filters is AND’ed to decide whether the
frame needs to be forwarded. This means that either of the filter fail result will drop the
frame. Both filters have to pass the frame for the frame to be forwarded to the application.

Inverse filtering operation
For both destination and source address filtering, there is an option to invert the filter-match
result at the final output. These are controlled by the DAIF and SAIF bits in the Frame filter
register, respectively. The DAIF bit is applicable for both Unicast and Multicast DA frames.
The result of the unicast/multicast destination address filter is inverted in this mode.
Similarly, when the SAIF bit is set, the result of the unicast SA filter is inverted. Table 278
and Table 279 summarize destination and source address filtering based on the type of
frame received.

MAC loopback mode
The MAC supports loopback of transmitted frames onto its receiver. By default, the MAC
loopback function is disabled, but this feature can be enabled by programming the
Loopback bit in the MAC ETH_MACCR register.

38.5.7

MAC management counters: MMC
The MAC management counters (MMC) maintain a set of registers for gathering statistics
on the received and transmitted frames. These include a control register for controlling the
behavior of the registers, two 32-bit registers containing generated interrupts (receive and
transmit), and two 32-bit registers containing masks for the Interrupt register (receive and
transmit). These registers are accessible from the application. Each register is 32 bits wide.
Section 38.8: Ethernet register descriptions describes the various counters and lists the
addresses of each of the statistics counters. This address is used for read/write accesses to
the desired transmit/receive counter.
The Receive MMC counters are updated for frames that pass address filtering. Dropped
frames statistics are not updated unless the dropped frames are runt frames of less than 6
bytes (DA bytes are not received fully).

Good transmitted and received frames
Transmitted frames are considered “good” if transmitted successfully. In other words, a
transmitted frame is good if the frame transmission is not aborted due to any of the following
errors:
+ Jabber Timeout
+ No Carrier/Loss of Carrier
+ Late Collision
+ Frame Underflow
+ Excessive Deferral
+ Excessive Collision

1560/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

Ethernet (ETH): media access control (MAC) with DMA controller
Received frames are considered “good” if none of the following errors exists:
+ CRC error
+ Runt Frame (shorter than 64 bytes)
+ Alignment error (in 10/ 100 Mbit/s only)
+ Length error (non-Type frames only)
+ Out of Range (non-Type frames only, longer than maximum size)
+ MII_RXER Input error
The maximum frame size depends on the frame type, as follows:
+ Untagged frame maxsize = 1518
+ VLAN Frame maxsize = 1522

38.5.8

Power management: PMT
This section describes the power management (PMT) mechanisms supported by the MAC.
PMT supports the reception of network (remote) wakeup frames and Magic Packet frames.
PMT generates interrupts for wakeup frames and Magic Packets received by the MAC. The
PMT block is enabled with remote wakeup frame enable and Magic Packet enable. These
enable bits (WFE and MPE) are in the ETH_MACPMTCSR register and are programmed by
the application. When the power down mode is enabled in the PMT, then all received frames
are dropped by the MAC and they are not forwarded to the application. The MAC comes out
of the power down mode only when either a Magic Packet or a Remote wakeup frame is
received and the corresponding detection is enabled.

Remote wakeup frame filter register
There are eight wakeup frame filter registers. To write on each of them, load the wakeup
frame filter register value by value. The wanted values of the wakeup frame filter are loaded
by sequentially loading eight times the wakeup frame filter register. The read operation is
identical to the write operation. To read the eight values, the user has to read eight times the
wakeup frame filter register to reach the last register. Each read/write points the wakeup
frame filter register to the next filter register.

Filter i Byte Mask
This register defines which bytes of the frame are examined by filter i (0, 1, 2, and 3) in
order to determine whether or not the frame is a wakeup frame. The MSB (thirty-first
bit) must be zero. Bit j [30:0] is the Byte Mask. If bit j (byte number) of the Byte Mask is
set, then Filter i Offset + j of the incoming frame is processed by the CRC block;
otherwise Filter i Offset + j is ignored.

•

Filter i Command
This 4-bit command controls the filter i operation. Bit 3 specifies the address type,
defining the pattern’s destination address type. When the bit is set, the pattern applies
to only multicast frames. When the bit is reset, the pattern applies only to unicast
frames. Bit 2 and bit 1 are reserved. Bit 0 is the enable bit for filter i; if bit 0 is not set,
filter i is disabled.

•

Filter i Offset
This register defines the offset (within the frame) from which the frames are examined
by filter i. This 8-bit pattern offset is the offset for the filter i first byte to be examined.
The minimum allowed is 12, which refers to the 13th byte of the frame (offset value 0
refers to the first byte of the frame).

•

Filter i CRC-16
This register contains the CRC_16 value calculated from the pattern, as well as the
byte mask programmed to the wakeup filter register block.

Remote wakeup frame detection
When the MAC is in sleep mode and the remote wakeup bit is enabled in the
ETH_MACPMTCSR register, normal operation is resumed after receiving a remote wakeup
frame. The application writes all eight wakeup filter registers, by performing a sequential
write to the wakeup frame filter register address. The application enables remote wakeup by
writing a 1 to bit 2 in the ETH_MACPMTCSR register. PMT supports four programmable
filters that provide different receive frame patterns. If the incoming frame passes the
address filtering of Filter Command, and if Filter CRC-16 matches the incoming examined
pattern, then the wakeup frame is received. Filter_offset (minimum value 12, which refers to
the 13th byte of the frame) determines the offset from which the frame is to be examined.
Filter Byte Mask determines which bytes of the frame must be examined. The thirty-first bit
of Byte Mask must be set to zero. The wakeup frame is checked only for length error, FCS
error, dribble bit error, MII error, collision, and to ensure that it is not a runt frame. Even if the
1562/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Ethernet (ETH): media access control (MAC) with DMA controller
wakeup frame is more than 512 bytes long, if the frame has a valid CRC value, it is
considered valid. Wakeup frame detection is updated in the ETH_MACPMTCSR register for
every remote wakeup frame received. If enabled, a PMT interrupt is generated to indicate
the reception of a remote wakeup frame.

Magic packet detection
The Magic Packet frame is based on a method that uses Advanced Micro Device’s Magic
Packet technology to power up the sleeping device on the network. The MAC receives a
specific packet of information, called a Magic Packet, addressed to the node on the network.
Only Magic Packets that are addressed to the device or a broadcast address are checked to
determine whether they meet the wakeup requirements. Magic Packets that pass address
filtering (unicast or broadcast) are checked to determine whether they meet the remote
Wake-on-LAN data format of 6 bytes of all ones followed by a MAC address appearing 16
times. The application enables Magic Packet wakeup by writing a 1 to bit 1 in the
ETH_MACPMTCSR register. The PMT block constantly monitors each frame addressed to
the node for a specific Magic Packet pattern. Each received frame is checked for a
0xFFFF FFFF FFFF pattern following the destination and source address field. The PMT
block then checks the frame for 16 repetitions of the MAC address without any breaks or
interruptions. In case of a break in the 16 repetitions of the address, the 0xFFFF FFFF FFFF
pattern is scanned for again in the incoming frame. The 16 repetitions can be anywhere in
the frame, but must be preceded by the synchronization stream (0xFFFF FFFF FFFF). The
device also accepts a multicast frame, as long as the 16 duplications of the MAC address
are detected. If the MAC address of a node is 0x0011 2233 4455, then the MAC scans for
the data sequence:
Destination address source address ……………….. FFFF FFFF FFFF
0011 2233 4455 0011 2233 4455 0011 2233 4455 0011 2233 4455
0011 2233 4455 0011 2233 4455 0011 2233 4455 0011 2233 4455

0011 2233 4455 0011 2233 4455 0011 2233 4455 0011 2233 4455
…CRC
Magic Packet detection is updated in the ETH_MACPMTCSR register for received Magic
Packet. If enabled, a PMT interrupt is generated to indicate the reception of a Magic Packet.

System consideration during power-down
The Ethernet PMT block is able to detect frames while the system is in the Stop mode,
provided that the EXTI line 19 is enabled.
The MAC receiver state machine should remain enabled during the power-down mode. This
means that the RE bit has to remain set in the ETH_MACCR register because it is involved
in magic packet/ wake-on-LAN frame detection. The transmit state machine should however
be turned off during the power-down mode by clearing the TE bit in the ETH_MACCR
register. Moreover, the Ethernet DMA should be disabled during the power-down mode,
because it is not necessary to copy the magic packet/wake-on-LAN frame into the SRAM.
To disable the Ethernet DMA, clear the ST bit and the SR bit (for the transmit DMA and the
receive DMA, respectively) in the ETH_DMAOMR register.
The recommended power-down and wakeup sequences are as follows:

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

1.

Disable the transmit DMA and wait for any previous frame transmissions to complete.
These transmissions can be detected when the transmit interrupt ETH_DMASR
register[0] is received.

2.

Disable the MAC transmitter and MAC receiver by clearing the RE and TE bits in the
ETH_MACCR configuration register.

3.

Wait for the receive DMA to have emptied all the frames in the Rx FIFO.

4.

Disable the receive DMA.

5.

Configure and enable the EXTI line 19 to generate either an event or an interrupt.

6.

If you configure the EXTI line 19 to generate an interrupt, you also have to correctly
configure the ETH_WKUP_IRQ Handler function, which should clear the pending bit of
the EXTI line 19.

7.

Enable Magic packet/Wake-on-LAN frame detection by setting the MFE/ WFE bit in the
ETH_MACPMTCSR register.

8.

Enable the MAC power-down mode, by setting the PD bit in the ETH_MACPMTCSR
register.

9.

Enable the MAC Receiver by setting the RE bit in the ETH_MACCR register.

10. Enter the system’s Stop mode (for more details refer to Section 4.3.5: Stop mode):
11. On receiving a valid wakeup frame, the Ethernet peripheral exits the power-down
mode.
12. Read the ETH_MACPMTCSR to clear the power management event flag, enable the
MAC transmitter state machine, and the receive and transmit DMA.
13. Configure the system clock: enable the HSE and set the clocks.

38.5.9

Precision time protocol (IEEE1588 PTP)
The IEEE 1588 standard defines a protocol that allows precise clock synchronization in
measurement and control systems implemented with technologies such as network
communication, local computing and distributed objects. The protocol applies to systems
that communicate by local area networks supporting multicast messaging, including (but not
limited to) Ethernet. This protocol is used to synchronize heterogeneous systems that
include clocks of varying inherent precision, resolution and stability. The protocol supports
system-wide synchronization accuracy in the submicrosecond range with minimum network
and local clock computing resources. The message-based protocol, known as the precision
time protocol (PTP), is transported over UDP/IP. The system or network is classified into
Master and Slave nodes for distributing the timing/clock information. The protocol’s
technique for synchronizing a slave node to a master node by exchanging PTP messages is
described in Figure 511.

1.

The master broadcasts PTP Sync messages to all its nodes. The Sync message
contains the master’s reference time information. The time at which this message
leaves the master’s system is t1. For Ethernet ports, this time has to be captured at the
MII.

2.

A slave receives the Sync message and also captures the exact time, t2, using its
timing reference.

3.

The master then sends the slave a Follow_up message, which contains the t1
information for later use.

4.

The slave sends the master a Delay_Req message, noting the exact time, t3, at which
this frame leaves the MII.

5.

The master receives this message and captures the exact time, t4, at which it enters its
system.

6.

The master sends the t4 information to the slave in the Delay_Resp message.

7.

The slave uses the four values of t1, t2, t3, and t4 to synchronize its local timing
reference to the master’s timing reference.

Most of the protocol implementation occurs in the software, above the UDP layer. As
described above, however, hardware support is required to capture the exact time when
specific PTP packets enter or leave the Ethernet port at the MII. This timing information has
to be captured and returned to the software for a proper, high-accuracy implementation of
PTP.

Reference timing source
To get a snapshot of the time, the core requires a reference time in 64-bit format (split into
two 32-bit channels, with the upper 32 bits providing time in seconds, and the lower 32 bits
indicating time in nanoseconds) as defined in the IEEE 1588 specification.

RM0385 Rev 8

1565/1724
1649

Ethernet (ETH): media access control (MAC) with DMA controller

RM0385

The PTP reference clock input is used to internally generate the reference time (also called
the System Time) and to capture time stamps. The frequency of this reference clock must
be greater than or equal to the resolution of time stamp counter. The synchronization
accuracy target between the master node and the slaves is around 100 ns.
The generation, update and modification of the System Time are described in the System
Time correction methods.
The accuracy depends on the PTP reference clock input period, the characteristics of the
oscillator (drift) and the frequency of the synchronization procedure.
Due to the synchronization from the Tx and Rx clock input domain to the PTP reference
clock domain, the uncertainty on the time stamp latched value is 1 reference clock period. If
we add the uncertainty due to resolution, we will add half the period for time stamping.

Transmission of frames with the PTP feature
When a frame’s SFD is output on the MII, a time stamp is captured. Frames for which time
stamp capture is required are controllable on a per-frame basis. In other words, each
transmitted frame can be marked to indicate whether a time stamp must be captured or not
for that frame. The transmitted frames are not processed to identify PTP frames. Frame
control is exercised through the control bits in the transmit descriptor. Captured time stamps
are returned to the application in the same way as the status is provided for frames. The
time stamp is sent back along with the Transmit status of the frame, inside the
corresponding transmit descriptor, thus connecting the time stamp automatically to the
specific PTP frame. The 64-bit time stamp information is written back to the TDES2 and
TDES3 fields, with TDES2 holding the time stamp’s 32 least significant bits.

Reception of frames with the PTP feature
When the IEEE 1588 time stamping feature is enabled, the Ethernet MAC captures the time
stamp of all frames received on the MII. The MAC provides the time stamp as soon as the
frame reception is complete. Captured time stamps are returned to the application in the
same way as the frame status is provided. The time stamp is sent back along with the
Receive status of the frame, inside the corresponding receive descriptor. The 64-bit time
stamp information is written back to the RDES2 and RDES3 fields, with RDES2 holding the
time stamp’s 32 least significant bits.

System Time correction methods
The 64-bit PTP time is updated using the PTP input reference clock, HCLK. This PTP time
is used as a source to take snapshots (time stamps) of the Ethernet frames being
transmitted or received at the MII. The System Time counter can be initialized or corrected
using either the Coarse or the Fine correction method.
In the Coarse correction method, the initial value or the offset value is written to the Time
stamp update register (refer to Section 38.8.3: IEEE 1588 time stamp registers on
page 1623). For initialization, the System Time counter is written with the value in the Time
stamp update registers, whereas for system time correction, the offset value (Time stamp
update register) is added to or subtracted from the system time.
In the Fine correction method, the slave clock (reference clock) frequency drift with respect
to the master clock (as defined in IEEE 1588) is corrected over a period of time, unlike in the
Coarse correction method where it is corrected in a single clock cycle. The longer correction
time helps maintain linear time and does not introduce drastic changes (or a large jitter) in
the reference time between PTP Sync message intervals. In this method, an accumulator

1566/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Ethernet (ETH): media access control (MAC) with DMA controller
sums up the contents of the Addend register as shown in Figure 512. The arithmetic carry
that the accumulator generates is used as a pulse to increment the system time counter.
The accumulator and the addend are 32-bit registers. Here, the accumulator acts as a highprecision frequency multiplier or divider. Figure 512 shows this algorithm.

The system time update logic requires a 50 MHz clock frequency to achieve 20 ns accuracy.
The frequency division is the ratio of the reference clock frequency to the required clock
frequency. Hence, if the reference clock (HCLK) is, let us say, 66 MHz, the ratio is calculated
as 66 MHz/50 MHz = 1.32. Hence, the default addend value to be set in the register is
232/1.32, which is equal to 0xC1F0 7C1F.
If the reference clock drifts lower, to 65 MHz for example, the ratio is 65/50 or 1.3 and the
value to set in the addend register is 232/1.30 equal to 0xC4EC 4EC4. If the clock drifts
higher, to 67 MHz for example, the addend register must be set to 0xBF0 B7672. When the
clock drift is zero, the default addend value of 0xC1F0 7C1F (232/1.32) should be
programmed.
In Figure 512, the constant value used to increment the subsecond register is 0d43. This
makes an accuracy of 20 ns in the system time (in other words, it is incremented by 20 ns
steps).
The software has to calculate the drift in frequency based on the Sync messages, and to
update the Addend register accordingly. Initially, the slave clock is set with
FreqCompensationValue0 in the Addend register. This value is as follows:
FreqCompensationValue0 = 232 / FreqDivisionRatio
If MasterToSlaveDelay is initially assumed to be the same for consecutive Sync messages,
the algorithm described below must be applied. After a few Sync cycles, frequency lock
occurs. The slave clock can then determine a precise MasterToSlaveDelay value and resynchronize with the master using the new value.

RM0385

The algorithm is as follows:
•

At time MasterSyncTime (n) the master sends the slave clock a Sync message. The
slave receives this message when its local clock is SlaveClockTime (n) and computes
MasterClockTime (n) as:
MasterClockTime (n) = MasterSyncTime (n) + MasterToSlaveDelay (n)

•

The master clock count for current Sync cycle, MasterClockCount (n) is given by:
MasterClockCount (n) = MasterClockTime (n) – MasterClockTime (n – 1) (assuming
that MasterToSlaveDelay is the same for Sync cycles n and n – 1)

•

The slave clock count for current Sync cycle, SlaveClockCount (n) is given by:
SlaveClockCount (n) = SlaveClockTime (n) – SlaveClockTime (n – 1)

•

The difference between master and slave clock counts for current Sync cycle,
ClockDiffCount (n) is given by:
ClockDiffCount (n) = MasterClockCount (n) – SlaveClockCount (n)

•

The frequency-scaling factor for slave clock, FreqScaleFactor (n) is given by:
FreqScaleFactor (n) = (MasterClockCount (n) + ClockDiffCount (n)) /
SlaveClockCount (n)

•

The frequency compensation value for Addend register, FreqCompensationValue (n) is
given by:
FreqCompensationValue (n) = FreqScaleFactor (n) × FreqCompensationValue (n – 1)

In theory, this algorithm achieves lock in one Sync cycle; however, it may take several
cycles, due to changing network propagation delays and operating conditions.
This algorithm is self-correcting: if for any reason the slave clock is initially set to a value
from the master that is incorrect, the algorithm corrects it at the cost of more Sync cycles.

Programming steps for system time generation initialization
The time stamping feature can be enabled by setting bit 0 in the Time stamp control register
(ETH__PTPTSCR). However, it is essential to initialize the time stamp counter after this bit
is set to start time stamp operation. The proper sequence is the following:
1.

Mask the Time stamp trigger interrupt by setting bit 9 in the MACIMR register.

2.

Program Time stamp register bit 0 to enable time stamping.

3.

Program the Subsecond increment register based on the PTP clock frequency.

4.

If you are using the Fine correction method, program the Time stamp addend register
and set Time stamp control register bit 5 (addend register update).

5.

Poll the Time stamp control register until bit 5 is cleared.

6.

To select the Fine correction method (if required), program Time stamp control register
bit 1.

7.

Program the Time stamp high update and Time stamp low update registers with the
appropriate time value.

8.

Set Time stamp control register bit 2 (Time stamp init).

9.

The Time stamp counter starts operation as soon as it is initialized with the value
written in the Time stamp update register.

10. Enable the MAC receiver and transmitter for proper time stamping.
Note:

1568/1724

If time stamp operation is disabled by clearing bit 0 in the ETH_PTPTSCR register, the
above steps must be repeated to restart the time stamp operation.

Programming steps for system time update in the Coarse correction method
To synchronize or update the system time in one process (coarse correction method),
perform the following steps:
1.

Write the offset (positive or negative) in the Time stamp update high and low registers.

2.

Set bit 3 (TSSTU) in the Time stamp control register.

3.

The value in the Time stamp update registers is added to or subtracted from the system
time when the TSSTU bit is cleared.

Programming steps for system time update in the Fine correction method
To synchronize or update the system time to reduce system-time jitter (fine correction
method), perform the following steps:
1.

With the help of the algorithm explained in System Time correction methods, calculate
the rate by which you want to speed up or slow down the system time increments.

2.

Update the time stamp.

3.

Wait the time you want the new value of the Addend register to be active. You can do
this by activating the Time stamp trigger interrupt after the system time reaches the
target value.

4.

Program the required target time in the Target time high and low registers. Unmask the
Time stamp interrupt by clearing bit 9 in the ETH_MACIMR register.

5.

Set Time stamp control register bit 4 (TSARU).

6.

When this trigger causes an interrupt, read the ETH_MACSR register.

7.

Reprogram the Time stamp addend register with the old value and set ETH_TPTSCR
bit 5 again.

PTP trigger internal connection with TIM2
The MAC provides a trigger interrupt when the system time becomes greater than the target
time. Using an interrupt introduces a known latency plus an uncertainty in the command
execution time.
In order to avoid this uncertainty, a PTP trigger output signal is set high when the system
time is greater than the target time. It is internally connected to the TIM2 input trigger. With
this signal, the input capture feature, the output compare feature and the waveforms of the
timer can be used, triggered by the synchronized PTP system time. No uncertainty is
introduced since the clock of the timer (PCLK1: TIM2 APB1 clock) and PTP reference clock
(HCLK) are synchronous.
This PTP trigger signal is connected to the TIM2 ITR1 input selectable by software. The
connection is enabled through bits 11 and 10 in the TIM2 option register (TIM2_OR).
Figure 513 shows the connection.

PTP pulse-per-second output signal
This PTP pulse output is used to check the synchronization between all nodes in the
network. To be able to test the difference between the local slave clock and the master
reference clock, both clocks were given a pulse-per-second (PPS) output signal that may be
connected to an oscilloscope if necessary. The deviation between the two signals can
therefore be measured. The pulse width of the PPS output is 125 ms.
The PPS output is enabled through bits 11 and 10 in the TIM2 option register (TIM2_OR).
The default frequency of the PPS output is 1 Hz. PPSFREQ[3:0] (in ETH_PTPPPSCR) can
be used to set the frequency of the PPS output to 2PPSFREQ Hz.
When set to 1 Hz, the PPS pulse width is 125 ms with binary rollover (TSSSR=0, bit 9 in
ETH_PTPTSCR) and 100 ms with digital rollover (TSSSR=1). When set to 2 Hz and higher,
the duty cycle of the PPS output is 50% with binary rollover.
With digital rollover (TSSSR=1), it is recommended not to use the PPS output with a
frequency other than 1 Hz as it would have irregular waveforms (though its average
frequency would always be correct during any one-second window).

Ethernet functional description: DMA controller operation
The DMA has independent transmit and receive engines, and a CSR space. The transmit
engine transfers data from system memory into the Tx FIFO while the receive engine
transfers data from the Rx FIFO into system memory. The controller utilizes descriptors to
efficiently move data from source to destination with minimum CPU intervention. The DMA
is designed for packet-oriented data transfers such as frames in Ethernet. The controller can
be programmed to interrupt the CPU in cases such as frame transmit and receive transfer
completion, and other normal/error conditions. The DMA and the STM32F75xxx and
STM32F74xxx communicate through two data structures:
•

Control and status registers (CSR)

•

Descriptor lists and data buffers.

Control and status registers are described in detail in Section 38.8: Ethernet register
descriptions. Descriptors are described in detail in Normal Tx DMA descriptors.
The DMA transfers the received data frames to the receive buffer in the STM32F75xxx and
STM32F74xxx memory, and transmits data frames from the transmit buffer in the
STM32F75xxx and STM32F74xxx memory. Descriptors that reside in the STM32F75xxx
and STM32F74xxx memory act as pointers to these buffers. There are two descriptor lists:
one for reception, and one for transmission. The base address of each list is written into
DMA Registers 3 and 4, respectively. A descriptor list is forward-linked (either implicitly or
explicitly). The last descriptor may point back to the first entry to create a ring structure.
Explicit chaining of descriptors is accomplished by configuring the second address chained
in both the receive and transmit descriptors (RDES1[14] and TDES0[20]). The descriptor
lists reside in the Host’s physical memory space. Each descriptor can point to a maximum of

1570/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Ethernet (ETH): media access control (MAC) with DMA controller
two buffers. This enables the use of two physically addressed buffers, instead of two
contiguous buffers in memory. A data buffer resides in the Host’s physical memory space,
and consists of an entire frame or part of a frame, but cannot exceed a single frame. Buffers
contain only data. The buffer status is maintained in the descriptor. Data chaining refers to
frames that span multiple data buffers. However, a single descriptor cannot span multiple
frames. The DMA skips to the next frame buffer when the end of frame is detected. Data
chaining can be enabled or disabled. The descriptor ring and chain structure is shown in
Figure 515.

38.6.1

Initialization of a transfer using DMA
Initialization for the MAC is as follows:

38.6.2

1.

Write to ETH_DMABMR to set STM32F75xxx and STM32F74xxx bus access
parameters.

2.

Write to the ETH_DMAIER register to mask unnecessary interrupt causes.

3.

The software driver creates the transmit and receive descriptor lists. Then it writes to
both the ETH_DMARDLAR and ETH_DMATDLAR registers, providing the DMA with
the start address of each list.

4.

Write to MAC Registers 1, 2, and 3 to choose the desired filtering options.

5.

Write to the MAC ETH_MACCR register to configure and enable the transmit and
receive operating modes. The PS and DM bits are set based on the auto-negotiation
result (read from the PHY).

6.

Write to the ETH_DMAOMR register to set bits 13 and 1 and start transmission and
reception.

7.

The transmit and receive engines enter the running state and attempt to acquire
descriptors from the respective descriptor lists. The receive and transmit engines then
begin processing receive and transmit operations. The transmit and receive processes
are independent of each other and can be started or stopped separately.

Host bus burst access
The DMA attempts to execute fixed-length burst transfers on the AHB master interface if
configured to do so (FB bit in ETH_DMABMR). The maximum burst length is indicated and
RM0385 Rev 8

1571/1724
1649

Ethernet (ETH): media access control (MAC) with DMA controller

RM0385

limited by the PBL field (ETH_DMABMR [13:8]). The receive and transmit descriptors are
always accessed in the maximum possible burst size (limited by PBL) for the 16 bytes to be
read.
The Transmit DMA initiates a data transfer only when there is sufficient space in the
Transmit FIFO to accommodate the configured burst or the number of bytes until the end of
frame (when it is less than the configured burst length). The DMA indicates the start address
and the number of transfers required to the AHB Master Interface. When the AHB Interface
is configured for fixed-length burst, then it transfers data using the best combination of
INCR4, INCR8, INCR16 and SINGLE transactions. Otherwise (no fixed-length burst), it
transfers data using INCR (undefined length) and SINGLE transactions.
The Receive DMA initiates a data transfer only when sufficient data for the configured burst
is available in Receive FIFO or when the end of frame (when it is less than the configured
burst length) is detected in the Receive FIFO. The DMA indicates the start address and the
number of transfers required to the AHB master interface. When the AHB interface is
configured for fixed-length burst, then it transfers data using the best combination of INCR4,
INCR8, INCR16 and SINGLE transactions. If the end of frame is reached before the fixedburst ends on the AHB interface, then dummy transfers are performed in order to complete
the fixed-length burst. Otherwise (FB bit in ETH_DMABMR is reset), it transfers data using
INCR (undefined length) and SINGLE transactions.
When the AHB interface is configured for address-aligned beats, both DMA engines ensure
that the first burst transfer the AHB initiates is less than or equal to the size of the configured
PBL. Thus, all subsequent beats start at an address that is aligned to the configured PBL.
The DMA can only align the address for beats up to size 16 (for PBL > 16), because the
AHB interface does not support more than INCR16.

38.6.3

Host data buffer alignment
The transmit and receive data buffers do not have any restrictions on start address
alignment. In our system with 32-bit memory, the start address for the buffers can be aligned
to any of the four bytes. However, the DMA always initiates transfers with address aligned to
the bus width with dummy data for the byte lanes not required. This typically happens during
the transfer of the beginning or end of an Ethernet frame.
•

Example of buffer read:
If the Transmit buffer address is 0x0000 0FF2, and 15 bytes need to be transferred,
then the DMA will read five full words from address 0x0000 0FF0, but when transferring
data to the Transmit FIFO, the extra bytes (the first two bytes) will be dropped or
ignored. Similarly, the last 3 bytes of the last transfer will also be ignored. The DMA
always ensures it transfers a full 32-bit data items to the Transmit FIFO, unless it is the
end of frame.

•

Example of buffer write:
If the Receive buffer address is 0x0000 0FF2, and 16 bytes of a received frame need to
be transferred, then the DMA will write five full 32-bit data items from address
0x0000 0FF0. But the first 2 bytes of the first transfer and the last 2 bytes of the third
transfer will have dummy data.

38.6.4

Buffer size calculations
The DMA does not update the size fields in the transmit and receive descriptors. The DMA
updates only the status fields (xDES0) of the descriptors. The driver has to calculate the
sizes. The transmit DMA transfers the exact number of bytes (indicated by buffer size field in

1572/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Ethernet (ETH): media access control (MAC) with DMA controller
TDES1) towards the MAC core. If a descriptor is marked as first (FS bit in TDES0 is set),
then the DMA marks the first transfer from the buffer as the start of frame. If a descriptor is
marked as last (LS bit in TDES0), then the DMA marks the last transfer from that data buffer
as the end of frame. The receive DMA transfers data to a buffer until the buffer is full or the
end of frame is received. If a descriptor is not marked as last (LS bit in RDES0), then the
buffer(s) that correspond to the descriptor are full and the amount of valid data in a buffer is
accurately indicated by the buffer size field minus the data buffer pointer offset when the
descriptor’s FS bit is set. The offset is zero when the data buffer pointer is aligned to the
databus width. If a descriptor is marked as last, then the buffer may not be full (as indicated
by the buffer size in RDES1). To compute the amount of valid data in this final buffer, the
driver must read the frame length (FL bits in RDES0[29:16]) and subtract the sum of the
buffer sizes of the preceding buffers in this frame. The receive DMA always transfers the
start of next frame with a new descriptor.

Note:

Even when the start address of a receive buffer is not aligned to the system databus width
the system should allocate a receive buffer of a size aligned to the system bus width. For
example, if the system allocates a 1024 byte (1 KB) receive buffer starting from address
0x1000, the software can program the buffer start address in the receive descriptor to have
a 0x1002 offset. The receive DMA writes the frame to this buffer with dummy data in the first
two locations (0x1000 and 0x1001). The actual frame is written from location 0x1002. Thus,
the actual useful space in this buffer is 1022 bytes, even though the buffer size is
programmed as 1024 bytes, due to the start address offset.

38.6.5

DMA arbiter
The arbiter inside the DMA takes care of the arbitration between transmit and receive
channel accesses to the AHB master interface. Two types of arbitrations are possible:
round-robin, and fixed-priority. When round-robin arbitration is selected (DA bit in
ETH_DMABMR is reset), the arbiter allocates the databus in the ratio set by the PM bits in
ETH_DMABMR, when both transmit and receive DMAs request access simultaneously.
When the DA bit is set, the receive DMA always gets priority over the transmit DMA for data
access.

38.6.6

Error response to DMA
For any data transfer initiated by a DMA channel, if the slave replies with an error response,
that DMA stops all operations and updates the error bits and the fatal bus error bit in the
Status register (ETH_DMASR register). That DMA controller can resume operation only
after soft- or hard-resetting the peripheral and re-initializing the DMA.

38.6.7

Tx DMA configuration
TxDMA operation: default (non-OSF) mode
The transmit DMA engine in default mode proceeds as follows:
1.

The user sets up the transmit descriptor (TDES0-TDES3) and sets the OWN bit
(TDES0[31]) after setting up the corresponding data buffer(s) with Ethernet frame data.

2.

Once the ST bit (ETH_DMAOMR register[13]) is set, the DMA enters the Run state.

3.

While in the Run state, the DMA polls the transmit descriptor list for frames requiring
transmission. After polling starts, it continues in either sequential descriptor ring order
or chained order. If the DMA detects a descriptor flagged as owned by the CPU, or if an
error condition occurs, transmission is suspended and both the Transmit Buffer

RM0385 Rev 8

1573/1724
1649

Ethernet (ETH): media access control (MAC) with DMA controller

RM0385

Unavailable (ETH_DMASR register[2]) and Normal Interrupt Summary (ETH_DMASR
register[16]) bits are set. The transmit engine proceeds to Step 9.
4.

If the acquired descriptor is flagged as owned by DMA (TDES0[31] is set), the DMA
decodes the transmit data buffer address from the acquired descriptor.

5.

The DMA fetches the transmit data from the STM32F75xxx and STM32F74xxx
memory and transfers the data.

6.

If an Ethernet frame is stored over data buffers in multiple descriptors, the DMA closes
the intermediate descriptor and fetches the next descriptor. Steps 3, 4, and 5 are
repeated until the end of Ethernet frame data is transferred.

7.

When frame transmission is complete, if IEEE 1588 time stamping was enabled for the
frame (as indicated in the transmit status) the time stamp value is written to the transmit
descriptor (TDES2 and TDES3) that contains the end-of-frame buffer. The status
information is then written to this transmit descriptor (TDES0). Because the OWN bit is
cleared during this step, the CPU now owns this descriptor. If time stamping was not
enabled for this frame, the DMA does not alter the contents of TDES2 and TDES3.

8.

Transmit Interrupt (ETH_DMASR register [0]) is set after completing the transmission
of a frame that has Interrupt on Completion (TDES1[31]) set in its last descriptor. The
DMA engine then returns to Step 3.

9.

In the Suspend state, the DMA tries to re-acquire the descriptor (and thereby returns to
Step 3) when it receives a transmit poll demand, and the Underflow Interrupt Status bit
is cleared.

Figure 516 shows the TxDMA transmission flow in default mode.

Bit 31 OWN: Own bit
When set, this bit indicates that the descriptor is owned by the DMA. When this bit is reset, it
indicates that the descriptor is owned by the CPU. The DMA clears this bit either when it
completes the frame transmission or when the buffers allocated in the descriptor are read
completely. The ownership bit of the frame’s first descriptor must be set after all subsequent
descriptors belonging to the same frame have been set.
Bit 30 IC: Interrupt on completion
When set, this bit sets the Transmit Interrupt (Register 5[0]) after the present frame has
been transmitted.
Bit 29 LS: Last segment
When set, this bit indicates that the buffer contains the last segment of the frame.
Bit 28 FS: First segment
When set, this bit indicates that the buffer contains the first segment of a frame.
Bit 27 DC: Disable CRC
When this bit is set, the MAC does not append a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) to the end
of the transmitted frame. This is valid only when the first segment (TDES0[28]) is set.
Bit 26 DP: Disable pad
When set, the MAC does not automatically add padding to a frame shorter than 64 bytes.
When this bit is reset, the DMA automatically adds padding and CRC to a frame shorter than
64 bytes, and the CRC field is added despite the state of the DC (TDES0[27]) bit. This is
valid only when the first segment (TDES0[28]) is set.
Bit 25 TTSE: Transmit time stamp enable
When TTSE is set and when TSE is set (ETH_PTPTSCR bit 0), IEEE1588 hardware time
stamping is activated for the transmit frame described by the descriptor. This field is only valid
when the First segment control bit (TDES0[28]) is set.
Bit 24 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bits 23:22 CIC: Checksum insertion control
These bits control the checksum calculation and insertion. Bit encoding is as shown below:
00: Checksum Insertion disabled
01: Only IP header checksum calculation and insertion are enabled
10: IP header checksum and payload checksum calculation and insertion are enabled, but
pseudo-header checksum is not calculated in hardware
11: IP Header checksum and payload checksum calculation and insertion are enabled, and
pseudo-header checksum is calculated in hardware.

Bit 21 TER: Transmit end of ring
When set, this bit indicates that the descriptor list reached its final descriptor. The DMA
returns to the base address of the list, creating a descriptor ring.
Bit 20 TCH: Second address chained
When set, this bit indicates that the second address in the descriptor is the next descriptor
address rather than the second buffer address. When TDES0[20] is set, TBS2
(TDES1[28:16]) is a “don’t care” value. TDES0[21] takes precedence over TDES0[20].
Bits 19:18 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bit 17 TTSS: Transmit time stamp status
This field is used as a status bit to indicate that a time stamp was captured for the described
transmit frame. When this bit is set, TDES2 and TDES3 have a time stamp value captured for the
transmit frame. This field is only valid when the descriptor’s Last segment control bit (TDES0[29])
is set.
Note that when enhanced descriptors are enabled (EDFE=1 in ETH_DMABMR), TTSS=1
indicates that TDES6 and TDES7 have the time stamp value.
Bit 16 IHE: IP header error
When set, this bit indicates that the MAC transmitter detected an error in the IP datagram
header. The transmitter checks the header length in the IPv4 packet against the number of
header bytes received from the application and indicates an error status if there is a
mismatch. For IPv6 frames, a header error is reported if the main header length is not 40
bytes. Furthermore, the Ethernet length/type field value for an IPv4 or IPv6 frame must
match the IP header version received with the packet. For IPv4 frames, an error status is
also indicated if the Header Length field has a value less than 0x5.
Bit 15 ES: Error summary
Indicates the logical OR of the following bits:
TDES0[14]: Jabber timeout
TDES0[13]: Frame flush
TDES0[11]: Loss of carrier
TDES0[10]: No carrier
TDES0[9]: Late collision
TDES0[8]: Excessive collision
TDES0[2]:Excessive deferral
TDES0[1]: Underflow error
TDES0[16]: IP header error
TDES0[12]: IP payload error
Bit 14 JT: Jabber timeout
When set, this bit indicates the MAC transmitter has experienced a jabber timeout. This bit is
only set when the MAC configuration register’s JD bit is not set.
Bit 13 FF: Frame flushed
When set, this bit indicates that the DMA/MTL flushed the frame due to a software Flush
command given by the CPU.
Bit 12 IPE: IP payload error
When set, this bit indicates that MAC transmitter detected an error in the TCP, UDP, or ICMP
IP datagram payload. The transmitter checks the payload length received in the IPv4 or IPv6
header against the actual number of TCP, UDP or ICMP packet bytes received from the
application and issues an error status in case of a mismatch.

operates in Half-duplex mode.
Bit 10 NC: No carrier
When set, this bit indicates that the Carrier Sense signal form the PHY was not asserted
during transmission.
Bit 9 LCO: Late collision
When set, this bit indicates that frame transmission was aborted due to a collision occurring
after the collision window (64 byte times, including preamble, in MII mode). This bit is not
valid if the Underflow Error bit is set.
Bit 8 EC: Excessive collision
When set, this bit indicates that the transmission was aborted after 16 successive collisions
while attempting to transmit the current frame. If the RD (Disable retry) bit in the MAC
Configuration register is set, this bit is set after the first collision, and the transmission of the
frame is aborted.
Bit 7 VF: VLAN frame
When set, this bit indicates that the transmitted frame was a VLAN-type frame.
Bits 6:3 CC: Collision count
This 4-bit counter value indicates the number of collisions occurring before the frame was
transmitted. The count is not valid when the Excessive collisions bit (TDES0[8]) is set.
Bit 2 ED: Excessive deferral
When set, this bit indicates that the transmission has ended because of excessive deferral
of over 24 288 bit times if the Deferral check (DC) bit in the MAC Control register is set high.
Bit 1 UF: Underflow error
When set, this bit indicates that the MAC aborted the frame because data arrived late from
the RAM memory. Underflow error indicates that the DMA encountered an empty transmit
buffer while transmitting the frame. The transmission process enters the Suspended state
and sets both Transmit underflow (Register 5[5]) and Transmit interrupt (Register 5[0]).
Bit 0 DB: Deferred bit
When set, this bit indicates that the MAC defers before transmission because of the
presence of the carrier. This bit is valid only in Half-duplex mode.

Ethernet (ETH): media access control (MAC) with DMA controller

Bits 31:0 TBAP2: Transmit buffer 2 address pointer (Next descriptor address) / Transmit frame time
stamp high
These bits have two different functions: they indicate to the DMA the location of data in
memory, and after all data are transferred, the DMA can then use these bits to pass back
time stamp data.
TBAP2: When the software makes this descriptor available to the DMA (at the moment when
the OWN bit is set to 1 in TDES0), these bits indicate the physical address of Buffer 2 when a
descriptor ring structure is used. If the Second address chained (TDES1 [20]) bit is set, this
address contains the pointer to the physical memory where the next descriptor is present. The
buffer address pointer must be aligned to the bus width only when TDES1 [20] is set. (LSBs are
ignored internally.)
TTSH: Before it clears the OWN bit in TDES0, the DMA updates this field with the 32 most
significant bits of the time stamp captured for the corresponding transmit frame (overwriting
the value for TBAP2). This field has the time stamp only if activated for this frame (see
TDES0 bit 25, TTSE) and if the Last segment control bit (LS) in the descriptor is set.

Enhanced Tx DMA descriptors
Enhanced descriptors (enabled with EDFE=1, ETHDMABMR bit 7), must be used if time
stamping is activated (TSE=1, ETH_PTPTSCR bit 0) or if IPv4 checksum offload is
activated (IPCO=1, ETH_MACCR bit 10).
Enhanced descriptors comprise eight 32-bit words, twice the size of normal descriptors.
TDES0, TDES1, TDES2 and TDES3 have the same definitions as for normal transmit
descriptors (refer to Normal Tx DMA descriptors). TDES6 and TDES7 hold the time stamp.
TDES4, TDES5, TDES6 and TDES7 are defined below.
When the Enhanced descriptor mode is selected, the software needs to allocate 32-bytes (8
DWORDS) of memory for every descriptor. When time stamping or IPv4 checksum offload
are not being used, the enhanced descriptor format may be disabled and the software can
use normal descriptors with the default size of 16 bytes.

Ethernet (ETH): media access control (MAC) with DMA controller

Bits 31:0 TTSH: Transmit frame time stamp high
This field is updated by DMA with the 32 most significant bits of the time stamp captured for
the corresponding transmit frame. This field has the time stamp only if the Last segment control
bit (LS) in the descriptor is set.

38.6.8

Rx DMA configuration
The Receive DMA engine’s reception sequence is illustrated in Figure 520 and described
below:
1.

The CPU sets up Receive descriptors (RDES0-RDES3) and sets the OWN bit
(RDES0[31]).

2.

Once the SR (ETH_DMAOMR register[1]) bit is set, the DMA enters the Run state.
While in the Run state, the DMA polls the receive descriptor list, attempting to acquire
free descriptors. If the fetched descriptor is not free (is owned by the CPU), the DMA
enters the Suspend state and jumps to Step 9.

3.

The DMA decodes the receive data buffer address from the acquired descriptors.

4.

Incoming frames are processed and placed in the acquired descriptor’s data buffers.

5.

When the buffer is full or the frame transfer is complete, the Receive engine fetches the
next descriptor.

6.

If the current frame transfer is complete, the DMA proceeds to step 7. If the DMA does
not own the next fetched descriptor and the frame transfer is not complete (EOF is not
yet transferred), the DMA sets the Descriptor error bit in RDES0 (unless flushing is
disabled). The DMA closes the current descriptor (clears the OWN bit) and marks it as
intermediate by clearing the Last segment (LS) bit in the RDES1 value (marks it as last
descriptor if flushing is not disabled), then proceeds to step 8. If the DMA owns the next
descriptor but the current frame transfer is not complete, the DMA closes the current
descriptor as intermediate and returns to step 4.

7.

If IEEE 1588 time stamping is enabled, the DMA writes the time stamp (if available) to
the current descriptor’s RDES2 and RDES3. It then takes the received frame’s status
and writes the status word to the current descriptor’s RDES0, with the OWN bit cleared
and the Last segment bit set.

8.

The Receive engine checks the latest descriptor’s OWN bit. If the CPU owns the
descriptor (OWN bit is at 0) the Receive buffer unavailable bit (in ETH_DMASR
register[7]) is set and the DMA Receive engine enters the Suspended state (step 9). If
the DMA owns the descriptor, the engine returns to step 4 and awaits the next frame.

9.

Before the Receive engine enters the Suspend state, partial frames are flushed from
the Receive FIFO (you can control flushing using bit 24 in the ETH_DMAOMR
register).

10. The Receive DMA exits the Suspend state when a Receive Poll demand is given or the
start of next frame is available from the Receive FIFO. The engine proceeds to step 2
and re-fetches the next descriptor.
The DMA does not acknowledge accepting the status until it has completed the time stamp
write-back and is ready to perform status write-back to the descriptor. If software has
enabled time stamping through CSR, when a valid time stamp value is not available for the
frame (for example, because the receive FIFO was full before the time stamp could be
written to it), the DMA writes all ones to RDES2 and RDES3. Otherwise (that is, if time
stamping is not enabled), RDES2 and RDES3 remain unchanged.

This field is valid only when the last descriptor (RDES0[8]) is set.
Bit 13 SAF: Source address filter fail
When set, this bit indicates that the SA field of frame failed the SA filter in the MAC Core.
Bit 12 LE: Length error
When set, this bit indicates that the actual length of the received frame does not match the value in
the Length/ Type field. This bit is valid only when the Frame type (RDES0[5]) bit is reset.
Bit 11 OE: Overflow error
When set, this bit indicates that the received frame was damaged due to buffer overflow.
Bit 10 VLAN: VLAN tag
When set, this bit indicates that the frame pointed to by this descriptor is a VLAN frame tagged
by the MAC core.
Bit 9 FS: First descriptor
When set, this bit indicates that this descriptor contains the first buffer of the frame. If the size of the
first buffer is 0, the second buffer contains the beginning of the frame. If the size of the second buffer
is also 0, the next descriptor contains the beginning of the frame.
Bit 8 LS: Last descriptor
When set, this bit indicates that the buffers pointed to by this descriptor are the last buffers of
the frame.
Bit 7 IPHCE/TSV: IPv header checksum error / time stamp valid
If IPHCE is set, it indicates an error in the IPv4 or IPv6 header. This error can be due to inconsistent
Ethernet Type field and IP header Version field values, a header checksum mismatch in IPv4, or an
Ethernet frame lacking the expected number of IP header bytes. This bit can take on special
meaning as specified in Table 280.
If enhanced descriptor format is enabled (EDFE=1, bit 7 of ETH_DMABMR), this bit takes on
the TSV function (otherwise it is IPHCE). When TSV is set, it indicates that a snapshot of the
timestamp is written in descriptor words 6 (RDES6) and 7 (RDES7). TSV is valid only when
the Last descriptor bit (RDES0[8]) is set.

Bit 1 CE: CRC error
When set, this bit indicates that a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) error occurred on the
received frame. This field is valid only when the last descriptor (RDES0[8]) is set.
Bit 0 PCE/ESA: Payload checksum error / extended status available
When set, it indicates that the TCP, UDP or ICMP checksum the core calculated does not
match the received encapsulated TCP, UDP or ICMP segment’s Checksum field. This bit is
also set when the received number of payload bytes does not match the value indicated in

no limitations on the buffer address alignment except for the following condition: the DMA uses the
configured value for its address generation when the RDES2 value is used to store the start of
frame. Note that the DMA performs a write operation with the RDES2[3/2/1:0] bits as 0 during the
transfer of the start of frame but the frame data is shifted as per the actual Buffer address pointer.
The DMA ignores RDES2[3/2/1:0] (corresponding to bus width of 128/64/32) if the address pointer
is to a buffer where the middle or last part of the frame is stored.
RTSL: Before it clears the OWN bit in RDES0, the DMA updates this field with the 32 least
significant bits of the time stamp captured for the corresponding receive frame (overwriting
the value for RBAP1). This field has the time stamp only if time stamping is activated for this
frame and if the Last segment control bit (LS) in the descriptor is set.

Ethernet (ETH): media access control (MAC) with DMA controller

Bits 31:0 RBAP2 / RTSH: Receive buffer 2 address pointer (next descriptor address) / Receive frame
time stamp high
These bits take on two different functions: the application uses them to indicate to the DMA
the location of where to store the data in memory, and then after transferring all the data the
DMA may use these bits to pass back time stamp data.
RBAP1: When the software makes this descriptor available to the DMA (at the moment that
the OWN bit is set to 1 in RDES0), these bits indicate the physical address of buffer 2 when a
descriptor ring structure is used. If the second address chained (RDES1 [24]) bit is set, this address
contains the pointer to the physical memory where the next descriptor is present. If RDES1 [24] is
set, the buffer (next descriptor) address pointer must be bus width-aligned (RDES3[3, 2, or
1:0] = 0, corresponding to a bus width of 128, 64 or 32. LSBs are ignored internally.)
However, when RDES1 [24] is reset, there are no limitations on the RDES3 value, except for the
following condition: the DMA uses the configured value for its buffer address generation when the
RDES3 value is used to store the start of frame. The DMA ignores RDES3[3, 2, or 1:0]
(corresponding to a bus width of 128, 64 or 32) if the address pointer is to a buffer where the
middle or last part of the frame is stored.
RTSH: Before it clears the OWN bit in RDES0, the DMA updates this field with the 32 most
significant bits of the time stamp captured for the corresponding receive frame (overwriting
the value for RBAP2). This field has the time stamp only if time stamping is activated and if
the Last segment control bit (LS) in the descriptor is set.

Enhanced Rx DMA descriptors format with IEEE1588 time stamp
Enhanced descriptors (enabled with EDFE=1, ETHDMABMR bit 7), must be used if time
stamping is activated (TSE=1, ETH_PTPTSCR bit 0) or if IPv4 checksum offload is
activated (IPCO=1, ETH_MACCR bit 10).
Enhanced descriptors comprise eight 32-bit words, twice the size of normal descriptors.
RDES0, RDES1, RDES2 and RDES3 have the same definitions as for normal receive
descriptors (refer to Normal Rx DMA descriptors). RDES4 contains extended status while
RDES6 and RDES7 hold the time stamp. RDES4, RDES5, RDES6 and RDES7 are defined
below.
When the Enhanced descriptor mode is selected, the software needs to allocate 32 bytes (8
DWORDS) of memory for every descriptor. When time stamping or IPv4 checksum offload
are not being used, the enhanced descriptor format may be disabled and the software can
use normal descriptors with the default size of 16 bytes.

DMA interrupts
Interrupts can be generated as a result of various events. The ETH_DMASR register
contains all the bits that might cause an interrupt. The ETH_DMAIER register contains an
enable bit for each of the events that can cause an interrupt.
There are two groups of interrupts, Normal and Abnormal, as described in the ETH_DMASR
register. Interrupts are cleared by writing a 1 to the corresponding bit position. When all the
enabled interrupts within a group are cleared, the corresponding summary bit is cleared. If
the MAC core is the cause for assertion of the interrupt, then any of the TSTS or PMTS bits
in the ETH_DMASR register is set high.
Interrupts are not queued and if the interrupt event occurs before the driver has responded
to it, no additional interrupts are generated. For example, the Receive Interrupt bit
(ETH_DMASR register [6]) indicates that one or more frames were transferred to the
STM32F75xxx and STM32F74xxx buffer. The driver must scan all descriptors, from the last
recorded position to the first one owned by the DMA.
An interrupt is generated only once for simultaneous, multiple events. The driver must scan
the ETH_DMASR register for the cause of the interrupt. The interrupt is not generated again
unless a new interrupting event occurs, after the driver has cleared the appropriate bit in the

1596/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Ethernet (ETH): media access control (MAC) with DMA controller
ETH_DMASR register. For example, the controller generates a Receive interrupt
(ETH_DMASR register[6]) and the driver begins reading the ETH_DMASR register. Next,
receive buffer unavailable (ETH_DMASR register[7]) occurs. The driver clears the Receive
interrupt. Even then, a new interrupt is generated, due to the active or pending Receive
buffer unavailable interrupt.

Ethernet interrupts
The Ethernet controller has two interrupt vectors: one dedicated to normal Ethernet
operations and the other, used only for the Ethernet wakeup event (with wakeup frame or
Magic Packet detection) when it is mapped on EXTI lIne19.
The first Ethernet vector is reserved for interrupts generated by the MAC and the DMA as
listed in the MAC interrupts and DMA interrupts sections.
The second vector is reserved for interrupts generated by the PMT on wakeup events. The
mapping of a wakeup event on EXTI line19 causes the STM32F75xxx and STM32F74xxx to
exit the low-power mode, and generates an interrupt.
When an Ethernet wakeup event mapped on EXTI Line19 occurs and the MAC PMT
interrupt is enabled and the EXTI Line19 interrupt, with detection on rising edge, is also
enabled, both interrupts are generated.
A watchdog timer (see ETH_DMARSWTR register) is given for flexible control of the RS bit
(ETH_DMASR register). When this watchdog timer is programmed with a non-zero value, it

RM0385 Rev 8

1597/1724
1649

Ethernet (ETH): media access control (MAC) with DMA controller

RM0385

gets activated as soon as the RxDMA completes a transfer of a received frame to system
memory without asserting the Receive Status because it is not enabled in the corresponding
Receive descriptor (RDES1[31]). When this timer runs out as per the programmed value,
the RS bit is set and the interrupt is asserted if the corresponding RIE is enabled in the
ETH_DMAIER register. This timer is disabled before it runs out, when a frame is transferred
to memory and the RS is set because it is enabled for that descriptor.
Note:

Reading the PMT control and status register automatically clears the Wakeup Frame
Received and Magic Packet Received PMT interrupt flags. However, since the registers for
these flags are in the CLK_RX domain, there may be a significant delay before this update
is visible by the firmware. The delay is especially long when the RX clock is slow (in 10 Mbit
mode) and when the AHB bus is high-frequency.
Since interrupt requests from the PMT to the CPU are based on the same registers in the
CLK_RX domain, the CPU may spuriously call the interrupt routine a second time even after
reading PMT_CSR. Thus, it may be necessary that the firmware polls the Wakeup Frame
Received and Magic Packet Received bits and exits the interrupt service routine only when
they are found to be at ‘0’.

Bit 4 DC: Deferral check
When this bit is set, the deferral check function is enabled in the MAC. The MAC issues a
Frame Abort status, along with the excessive deferral error bit set in the transmit frame
status when the transmit state machine is deferred for more than 24 288 bit times in 10/100Mbit/s mode. Deferral begins when the transmitter is ready to transmit, but is prevented
because of an active CRS (carrier sense) signal on the MII. Defer time is not cumulative. If
the transmitter defers for 10 000 bit times, then transmits, collides, backs off, and then has
to defer again after completion of back-off, the deferral timer resets to 0 and restarts.
When this bit is reset, the deferral check function is disabled and the MAC defers until the
CRS signal goes inactive. This bit is applicable only in Half-duplex mode.

When this bit is cleared and if the HU or HM bit is set, only frames that match the Hash filter
are passed.
Bit 9 SAF: Source address filter
The MAC core compares the SA field of the received frames with the values programmed in
the enabled SA registers. If the comparison matches, then the SAMatch bit in the RxStatus
word is set high. When this bit is set high and the SA filter fails, the MAC drops the frame.
When this bit is reset, the MAC core forwards the received frame to the application. It also
forwards the updated SA Match bit in RxStatus depending on the SA address comparison.
Bit 8 SAIF: Source address inverse filtering
When this bit is set, the address check block operates in inverse filtering mode for the SA

10: MAC forwards all control frames to application even if they fail the address filter
11: MAC forwards control frames that pass the address filter.
These bits control the forwarding of all control frames (including unicast and multicast
PAUSE frames). Note that the processing of PAUSE control frames depends only on RFCE
in Flow Control Register[2].
00 or 01: MAC prevents all control frames from reaching the application
10: MAC forwards all control frames to application even if they fail the address filter
11: MAC forwards control frames that pass the address filter.
Bit 5 BFD: Broadcast frames disable
When this bit is set, the address filters filter all incoming broadcast frames.
When this bit is reset, the address filters pass all received broadcast frames.
Bit 4 PAM: Pass all multicast
When set, this bit indicates that all received frames with a multicast destination address (first
bit in the destination address field is '1') are passed.
When reset, filtering of multicast frame depends on the HM bit.
Bit 3 DAIF: Destination address inverse filtering
When this bit is set, the address check block operates in inverse filtering mode for the DA
address comparison for both unicast and multicast frames.
When reset, normal filtering of frames is performed.
Bit 2 HM: Hash multicast
When set, MAC performs destination address filtering of received multicast frames
according to the hash table.
When reset, the MAC performs a perfect destination address filtering for multicast frames,
that is, it compares the DA field with the values programmed in DA registers.
Bit 1 HU: Hash unicast
When set, MAC performs destination address filtering of unicast frames according to the
hash table.
When reset, the MAC performs a perfect destination address filtering for unicast frames, that
is, it compares the DA field with the values programmed in DA registers.
Bit 0 PM: Promiscuous mode
When this bit is set, the address filters pass all incoming frames regardless of their
destination or source address. The SA/DA filter fails status bits in the receive status word
are always cleared when PM is set.

Ethernet MAC hash table high register (ETH_MACHTHR)
Address offset: 0x0008
Reset value: 0x0000 0000
The 64-bit Hash table is used for group address filtering. For hash filtering, the contents of
the destination address in the incoming frame are passed through the CRC logic, and the
upper 6 bits in the CRC register are used to index the contents of the Hash table. This CRC
is a 32-bit value coded by the following polynomial (for more details refer to Section 38.5.3:

The most significant bit determines the register to be used (hash table high/hash table low),
and the other 5 bits determine which bit within the register. A hash value of 0b0 0000 selects
bit 0 in the selected register, and a value of 0b1 1111 selects bit 31 in the selected register.
For example, if the DA of the incoming frame is received as 0x1F52 419C B6AF (0x1F is the
first byte received on the MII interface), then the internally calculated 6-bit Hash value is
0x2C and the HTH register bit[12] is checked for filtering. If the DA of the incoming frame is
received as 0xA00A 9800 0045, then the calculated 6-bit Hash value is 0x07 and the HTL
register bit[7] is checked for filtering.
If the corresponding bit value in the register is 1, the frame is accepted. Otherwise, it is
rejected. If the PAM (pass all multicast) bit is set in the ETH_MACFFR register, then all
multicast frames are accepted regardless of the multicast hash values.
The Hash table high register contains the higher 32 bits of the multicast Hash table.

Ethernet MAC flow control register (ETH_MACFCR)
Address offset: 0x0018
Reset value: 0x0000 0000
The Flow control register controls the generation and reception of the control (Pause
Command) frames by the MAC. A write to a register with the Busy bit set to '1' causes the
MAC to generate a pause control frame. The fields of the control frame are selected as
specified in the 802.3x specification, and the Pause Time value from this register is used in
the Pause Time field of the control frame. The Busy bit remains set until the control frame is
transferred onto the cable. The Host must make sure that the Busy bit is cleared before
writing to the register.

Bits 5:4 PLT: Pause low threshold
This field configures the threshold of the Pause timer at which the Pause frame is
automatically retransmitted. The threshold values should always be less than the Pause
Time configured in bits[31:16]. For example, if PT = 100H (256 slot-times), and PLT = 01,
then a second PAUSE frame is automatically transmitted if initiated at 228 (256 – 28) slottimes after the first PAUSE frame is transmitted.
Selection Threshold
00 Pause time minus 4 slot times
01 Pause time minus 28 slot times
10 Pause time minus 144 slot times
11 Pause time minus 256 slot times
Slot time is defined as time taken to transmit 512 bits (64 bytes) on the MII interface.
Bit 3 UPFD: Unicast pause frame detect
When this bit is set, the MAC detects the Pause frames with the station’s unicast address
specified in the ETH_MACA0HR and ETH_MACA0LR registers, in addition to detecting
Pause frames with the unique multicast address.
When this bit is reset, the MAC detects only a Pause frame with the unique multicast
address specified in the 802.3x standard.
Bit 2 RFCE: Receive flow control enable
When this bit is set, the MAC decodes the received Pause frame and disables its transmitter
for a specified (Pause Time) time.
When this bit is reset, the decode function of the Pause frame is disabled.
Bit 1 TFCE: Transmit flow control enable
In Full-duplex mode, when this bit is set, the MAC enables the flow control operation to
transmit Pause frames. When this bit is reset, the flow control operation in the MAC is
disabled, and the MAC does not transmit any Pause frames.
In Half-duplex mode, when this bit is set, the MAC enables the back-pressure operation.
When this bit is reset, the back pressure feature is disabled.
Bit 0 FCB/BPA: Flow control busy/back pressure activate
This bit initiates a Pause Control frame in Full-duplex mode and activates the back pressure
function in Half-duplex mode if TFCE bit is set.
In Full-duplex mode, this bit should be read as 0 before writing to the Flow control register.
To initiate a Pause control frame, the Application must set this bit to 1. During a transfer of
the Control frame, this bit continues to be set to signify that a frame transmission is in
progress. After completion of the Pause control frame transmission, the MAC resets this bit
to 0. The Flow control register should not be written to until this bit is cleared.
In Half-duplex mode, when this bit is set (and TFCE is set), back pressure is asserted by the
MAC core. During back pressure, when the MAC receives a new frame, the transmitter
starts sending a JAM pattern resulting in a collision. When the MAC is configured to Fullduplex mode, the BPA is automatically disabled.

Ethernet MAC VLAN tag register (ETH_MACVLANTR)
Address offset: 0x001C
Reset value: 0x0000 0000
The VLAN tag register contains the IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Tag to identify the VLAN frames.
The MAC compares the 13th and 14th bytes of the receiving frame (Length/Type) with
0x8100, and the following 2 bytes are compared with the VLAN tag; if a match occurs, the
received VLAN bit in the receive frame status is set. The legal length of the frame is
increased from 1518 bytes to 1522 bytes.

Bit 16 VLANTC: 12-bit VLAN tag comparison
When this bit is set, a 12-bit VLAN identifier, rather than the complete 16-bit VLAN tag, is
used for comparison and filtering. Bits[11:0] of the VLAN tag are compared with the
corresponding field in the received VLAN-tagged frame.
When this bit is reset, all 16 bits of the received VLAN frame’s fifteenth and sixteenth bytes
are used for comparison.
Bits 15:0 VLANTI: VLAN tag identifier (for receive frames)
This contains the 802.1Q VLAN tag to identify VLAN frames, and is compared to the fifteenth
and sixteenth bytes of the frames being received for VLAN frames. Bits[15:13] are the user
priority, Bit[12] is the canonical format indicator (CFI) and bits[11:0] are the VLAN tag’s VLAN
identifier (VID) field. When the VLANTC bit is set, only the VID (bits[11:0]) is used for
comparison.
If VLANTI (VLANTI[11:0] if VLANTC is set) is all zeros, the MAC does not check the fifteenth
and sixteenth bytes for VLAN tag comparison, and declares all frames with a Type field value
of 0x8100 as VLAN frames.

Ethernet MAC remote wakeup frame filter register (ETH_MACRWUFFR)
Address offset: 0x0028
Reset value: 0x0000 0000
This is the address through which the remote wakeup frame filter registers are written/read
by the application. The Wakeup frame filter register is actually a pointer to eight (not
transparent) such wakeup frame filter registers. Eight sequential write operations to this
address with the offset (0x0028) will write all wakeup frame filter registers. Eight sequential
read operations from this address with the offset (0x0028) will read all wakeup frame filter
registers. This register contains the higher 16 bits of the 7th MAC address. Refer to Remote
wakeup frame filter register section for additional information.

RM0385

Bits 31:19 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bit 18 TSPFFMAE: Time stamp PTP frame filtering MAC address enable
When set, this bit uses the MAC address (except for MAC address 0) to filter the PTP frames
when PTP is sent directly over Ethernet.
Bits 17:16 TSCNT: Time stamp clock node type
The following are the available types of clock node:
00: Ordinary clock
01: Boundary clock
10: End-to-end transparent clock
11: Peer-to-peer transparent clock
Bit 15 TSSMRME: Time stamp snapshot for message relevant to master enable
When this bit is set, the snapshot is taken for messages relevant to the master node only.
When this bit is cleared the snapshot is taken for messages relevant to the slave node only.
This is valid only for the ordinary clock and boundary clock nodes.
Bit 14 TSSEME: Time stamp snapshot for event message enable
When this bit is set, the time stamp snapshot is taken for event messages only (SYNC,
Delay_Req, Pdelay_Req or Pdelay_Resp). When this bit is cleared the snapshot is taken for
all other messages except for Announce, Management and Signaling.
Bit 13 TSSIPV4FE: Time stamp snapshot for IPv4 frames enable
When this bit is set, the time stamp snapshot is taken for IPv4 frames.
Bit 12 TSSIPV6FE: Time stamp snapshot for IPv6 frames enable
When this bit is set, the time stamp snapshot is taken for IPv6 frames.
Bit 11 TSSPTPOEFE: Time stamp snapshot for PTP over ethernet frames enable
When this bit is set, the time stamp snapshot is taken for frames which have PTP messages
in Ethernet frames (PTP over Ethernet) also. By default snapshots are taken for UDPIPEthernet PTP packets.
Bit 10 TSPTPPSV2E: Time stamp PTP packet snooping for version2 format enable
When this bit is set, the PTP packets are snooped using the version 2 format. When the bit is
cleared, the PTP packets are snooped using the version 1 format.
Note: IEEE 1588 Version 1 and Version 2 formats as indicated in IEEE standard 1588-2008
(Revision of IEEE STD. 1588-2002).
Bit 9 TSSSR: Time stamp subsecond rollover: digital or binary rollover control
When this bit is set, the Time stamp low register rolls over when the subsecond counter
reaches the value 0x3B9A C9FF (999 999 999 in decimal), and increments the Time Stamp
(high) seconds.
When this bit is cleared, the rollover value of the subsecond register reaches 0x7FFF FFFF.
The subsecond increment has to be programmed correctly depending on the PTP’s
reference clock frequency and this bit value.
Bit 8 TSSARFE: Time stamp snapshot for all received frames enable
When this bit is set, the time stamp snapshot is enabled for all frames received by the core.
Bits 7:6 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bit 5 TSARU: Time stamp addend register update
When this bit is set, the Time stamp addend register’s contents are updated to the PTP block
for fine correction. This bit is cleared when the update is complete. This register bit must be
read as zero before you can set it.

Bit 4 TSITE: Time stamp interrupt trigger enable
When this bit is set, a time stamp interrupt is generated when the system time becomes
greater than the value written in the Target time register. When the Time stamp trigger
interrupt is generated, this bit is cleared.
Bit 3 TSSTU: Time stamp system time update
When this bit is set, the system time is updated (added to or subtracted from) with the value
specified in the Time stamp high update and Time stamp low update registers. Both the
TSSTU and TSSTI bits must be read as zero before you can set this bit. Once the update is
completed in hardware, this bit is cleared.
Bit 2 TSSTI: Time stamp system time initialize
When this bit is set, the system time is initialized (overwritten) with the value specified in the
Time stamp high update and Time stamp low update registers. This bit must be read as zero
before you can set it. When initialization is complete, this bit is cleared.
Bit 1 TSFCU: Time stamp fine or coarse update
When set, this bit indicates that the system time stamp is to be updated using the Fine
Update method. When cleared, it indicates the system time stamp is to be updated using the
Coarse method.
Bit 0 TSE: Time stamp enable
When this bit is set, time stamping is enabled for transmit and receive frames. When this bit
is cleared, the time stamp function is suspended and time stamps are not added for transmit
and receive frames. Because the maintained system time is suspended, you must always
initialize the time stamp feature (system time) after setting this bit high.

clock, enable master and enable snapshot for event message register settings.

Bit 31 TSUPNS: Time stamp update positive or negative sign
This bit indicates positive or negative time value. When set, the bit indicates that time
representation is negative. When cleared, it indicates that time representation is positive.
When TSSTI is set (system time initialization) this bit should be zero. If this bit is set when
TSSTU is set, the value in the Time stamp update registers is subtracted from the system
time. Otherwise it is added to the system time.
Bits 30:0 TSUSS: Time stamp update subseconds
The value in this field indicates the subsecond time to be initialized or added to the system
time. This value has an accuracy of 0.46 ns (in other words, a value of 0x0000_0001 is
0.46 ns).

Ethernet PTP time stamp addend register (ETH_PTPTSAR)

Reset value: 0x0000 0000
This register is used by the software to readjust the clock frequency linearly to match the
master clock frequency. This register value is used only when the system time is configured
for Fine update mode (TSFCU bit in ETH_PTPTSCR). This register content is added to a
32-bit accumulator in every clock cycle and the system time is updated whenever the
accumulator overflows.

the PPS output has irregular waveforms at higher frequencies (though its average
frequency will always be correct during any one-second window).

Bits 31:27 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bit 26 MB: Mixed burst
When this bit is set high and the FB bit is low, the AHB master interface starts all bursts of a
length greater than 16 with INCR (undefined burst). When this bit is cleared, it reverts to
fixed burst transfers (INCRx and SINGLE) for burst lengths of 16 and below.
Bit 25 AAB: Address-aligned beats
When this bit is set high and the FB bit equals 1, the AHB interface generates all bursts
aligned to the start address LS bits. If the FB bit equals 0, the first burst (accessing the data
buffer’s start address) is not aligned, but subsequent bursts are aligned to the address.
Bit 24 FPM: 4xPBL mode
When set high, this bit multiplies the PBL value programmed (bits [22:17] and bits [13:8])
four times. Thus the DMA transfers data in a maximum of 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 and 128 beats
depending on the PBL value.
Bit 23 USP: Use separate PBL
When set high, it configures the RxDMA to use the value configured in bits [22:17] as PBL
while the PBL value in bits [13:8] is applicable to TxDMA operations only. When this bit is
cleared, the PBL value in bits [13:8] is applicable for both DMA engines.
Bits 22:17 RDP: Rx DMA PBL
These bits indicate the maximum number of beats to be transferred in one RxDMA
transaction. This is the maximum value that is used in a single block read/write operation.
The RxDMA always attempts to burst as specified in RDP each time it starts a burst transfer
on the host bus. RDP can be programmed with permissible values of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32.
Any other value results in undefined behavior.
These bits are valid and applicable only when USP is set high.
Bit 16 FB: Fixed burst
This bit controls whether the AHB Master interface performs fixed burst transfers or not.
When set, the AHB uses only SINGLE, INCR4, INCR8 or INCR16 during start of normal
burst transfers. When reset, the AHB uses SINGLE and INCR burst transfer operations.

Bits 15:14 PM: Rx Tx priority ratio
RxDMA requests are given priority over TxDMA requests in the following ratio:
00: 1:1
01: 2:1
10: 3:1
11: 4:1
This is valid only when the DA bit is cleared.
Bits 13:8 PBL: Programmable burst length
These bits indicate the maximum number of beats to be transferred in one DMA transaction.
This is the maximum value that is used in a single block read/write operation. The DMA
always attempts to burst as specified in PBL each time it starts a burst transfer on the host
bus. PBL can be programmed with permissible values of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32. Any other
value results in undefined behavior. When USP is set, this PBL value is applicable for
TxDMA transactions only.
The PBL values have the following limitations:
– The maximum number of beats (PBL) possible is limited by the size of the Tx FIFO and Rx
FIFO.
– The FIFO has a constraint that the maximum beat supported is half the depth of the FIFO.
– If the PBL is common for both transmit and receive DMA, the minimum Rx FIFO and Tx
FIFO depths must be considered.
– Do not program out-of-range PBL values, because the system may not behave properly.
Bit 7 EDFE: Enhanced descriptor format enable
When this bit is set, the enhanced descriptor format is enabled and the descriptor size is
increased to 32 bytes (8 DWORDS). This is required when time stamping is activated
(TSE=1, ETH_PTPTSCR bit 0) or if IPv4 checksum offload is activated (IPCO=1,
ETH_MACCR bit 10).
Bits 6:2 DSL: Descriptor skip length
This bit specifies the number of words to skip between two unchained descriptors. The
address skipping starts from the end of current descriptor to the start of next descriptor.
When DSL value equals zero, the descriptor table is taken as contiguous by the DMA, in
Ring mode.
Bit 1 DA: DMA Arbitration
0: Round-robin with Rx:Tx priority given in bits [15:14]
1: Rx has priority over Tx
Bit 0 SR: Software reset
When this bit is set, the MAC DMA controller resets all MAC Subsystem internal registers
and logic. It is cleared automatically after the reset operation has completed in all of the core
clock domains. Read a 0 value in this bit before re-programming any register of the core.

Ethernet DMA transmit poll demand register (ETH_DMATPDR)
Address offset: 0x1004
Reset value: 0x0000 0000
This register is used by the application to instruct the DMA to poll the transmit descriptor list.
The transmit poll demand register enables the Transmit DMA to check whether or not the
current descriptor is owned by DMA. The Transmit Poll Demand command is given to wake
up the TxDMA if it is in Suspend mode. The TxDMA can go into Suspend mode due to an
underflow error in a transmitted frame or due to the unavailability of descriptors owned by

Bits 31:0 TPD: Transmit poll demand
When these bits are written with any value, the DMA reads the current descriptor pointed to
by the ETH_DMACHTDR register. If that descriptor is not available (owned by Host),
transmission returns to the Suspend state and ETH_DMASR register bit 2 is asserted. If the
descriptor is available, transmission resumes.

EHERNET DMA receive poll demand register (ETH_DMARPDR)
Address offset: 0x1008
Reset value: 0x0000 0000
This register is used by the application to instruct the DMA to poll the receive descriptor list.
The Receive poll demand register enables the receive DMA to check for new descriptors.
This command is given to wake up the RxDMA from Suspend state. The RxDMA can go into
Suspend state only due to the unavailability of descriptors owned by it.

Bits 31:0 RPD: Receive poll demand
When these bits are written with any value, the DMA reads the current descriptor pointed to
by the ETH_DMACHRDR register. If that descriptor is not available (owned by Host),
reception returns to the Suspended state and ETH_DMASR register bit 7 is not asserted. If
the descriptor is available, the Receive DMA returns to active state.

Ethernet DMA receive descriptor list address register (ETH_DMARDLAR)
Address offset: 0x100C
Reset value: 0x0000 0000
The Receive descriptor list address register points to the start of the receive descriptor list.
The descriptor list resides in the STM32F75xxx and STM32F74xxx physical memory space
and must be word-aligned. The DMA internally converts it to bus-width aligned address by
making the corresponding LS bits low. Writing to the ETH_DMARDLAR register is permitted
only when reception is stopped. When stopped, the ETH_DMARDLAR register must be
written to before the receive Start command is given.

Bits 31:0 SRL: Start of receive list
This field contains the base address of the first descriptor in the receive descriptor list. The
LSB bits [1/2/3:0] for 32/64/128-bit bus width) are internally ignored and taken as all-zero by
the DMA. Hence these LSB bits are read only.

Ethernet DMA transmit descriptor list address register (ETH_DMATDLAR)

The Transmit descriptor list address register points to the start of the transmit descriptor list.
The descriptor list resides in the STM32F75xxx and STM32F74xxx physical memory space
and must be word-aligned. The DMA internally converts it to bus-width-aligned address by
taking the corresponding LSB to low. Writing to the ETH_DMATDLAR register is permitted
only when transmission has stopped. Once transmission has stopped, the
ETH_DMATDLAR register can be written before the transmission Start command is given.

Bits 31:0 STL: Start of transmit list
This field contains the base address of the first descriptor in the transmit descriptor list. The
LSB bits [1/2/3:0] for 32/64/128-bit bus width) are internally ignored and taken as all-zero
by the DMA. Hence these LSB bits are read-only.

Ethernet DMA status register (ETH_DMASR)
Address offset: 0x1014
Reset value: 0x0000 0000
The Status register contains all the status bits that the DMA reports to the application. The
ETH_DMASR register is usually read by the software driver during an interrupt service
routine or polling. Most of the fields in this register cause the host to be interrupted. The
ETH_DMASR register bits are not cleared when read. Writing 1 to (unreserved) bits in
ETH_DMASR register[16:0] clears them and writing 0 has no effect. Each field (bits [16:0])
can be masked by masking the appropriate bit in the ETH_DMAIER register.

Bits 31:30 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bit 29 TSTS: Time stamp trigger status
This bit indicates an interrupt event in the MAC core's Time stamp generator block. The
software must read the MAC core’s status register, clearing its source (bit 9), to reset this bit
to 0. When this bit is high an interrupt is generated if enabled.
Bit 28 PMTS: PMT status
This bit indicates an event in the MAC core’s PMT. The software must read the
corresponding registers in the MAC core to get the exact cause of interrupt and clear its
source to reset this bit to 0. The interrupt is generated when this bit is high if enabled.
Bit 27 MMCS: MMC status
This bit reflects an event in the MMC of the MAC core. The software must read the
corresponding registers in the MAC core to get the exact cause of interrupt and clear the
source of interrupt to make this bit as 0. The interrupt is generated when this bit is high if
enabled.
Bit 26 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bits 25:23 EBS: Error bits status

Bit 16 NIS: Normal interrupt summary
The normal interrupt summary bit value is the logical OR of the following when the
corresponding interrupt bits are enabled in the ETH_DMAIER register:
– ETH_DMASR [0]: Transmit interrupt
– ETH_DMASR [2]: Transmit buffer unavailable
– ETH_DMASR [6]: Receive interrupt
– ETH_DMASR [14]: Early receive interrupt
Only unmasked bits affect the normal interrupt summary bit.
This is a sticky bit and it must be cleared (by writing a 1 to this bit) each time a corresponding
bit that causes NIS to be set is cleared.
Bit 15 AIS: Abnormal interrupt summary
The abnormal interrupt summary bit value is the logical OR of the following when the
corresponding interrupt bits are enabled in the ETH_DMAIER register:
– ETH_DMASR [1]:Transmit process stopped
– ETH_DMASR [3]:Transmit jabber timeout
– ETH_DMASR [4]: Receive FIFO overflow
– ETH_DMASR [5]: Transmit underflow

– ETH_DMASR [8]: Receive process stopped
– ETH_DMASR [9]: Receive watchdog timeout
– ETH_DMASR [10]: Early transmit interrupt
– ETH_DMASR [13]: Fatal bus error
Only unmasked bits affect the abnormal interrupt summary bit.
This is a sticky bit and it must be cleared each time a corresponding bit that causes AIS to be
set is cleared.
Bit 14 ERS: Early receive status
This bit indicates that the DMA had filled the first data buffer of the packet. Receive Interrupt
ETH_DMASR [6] automatically clears this bit.
Bit 13 FBES: Fatal bus error status
This bit indicates that a bus error occurred, as detailed in [25:23]. When this bit is set, the
corresponding DMA engine disables all its bus accesses.

Bit 8 RPSS: Receive process stopped status
This bit is asserted when the receive process enters the Stopped state.
Bit 7 RBUS: Receive buffer unavailable status
This bit indicates that the next descriptor in the receive list is owned by the host and cannot
be acquired by the DMA. Receive process is suspended. To resume processing receive
descriptors, the host should change the ownership of the descriptor and issue a Receive Poll
Demand command. If no Receive Poll Demand is issued, receive process resumes when the
next recognized incoming frame is received. ETH_DMASR [7] is set only when the previous
receive descriptor was owned by the DMA.
Bit 6 RS: Receive status
This bit indicates the completion of the frame reception. Specific frame status information
has been posted in the descriptor. Reception remains in the Running state.
Bit 5 TUS: Transmit underflow status
This bit indicates that the transmit buffer had an underflow during frame transmission.
Transmission is suspended and an underflow error TDES0[1] is set.
Bit 4 ROS: Receive overflow status
This bit indicates that the receive buffer had an overflow during frame reception. If the partial
frame is transferred to the application, the overflow status is set in RDES0[11].
Bit 3 TJTS: Transmit jabber timeout status
This bit indicates that the transmit jabber timer expired, meaning that the transmitter had
been excessively active. The transmission process is aborted and placed in the Stopped
state. This causes the transmit jabber timeout TDES0[14] flag to be asserted.
Bit 2 TBUS: Transmit buffer unavailable status
This bit indicates that the next descriptor in the transmit list is owned by the host and cannot
be acquired by the DMA. Transmission is suspended. Bits [22:20] explain the transmit
process state transitions. To resume processing transmit descriptors, the host should change
the ownership of the bit of the descriptor and then issue a Transmit Poll Demand command.
Bit 1 TPSS: Transmit process stopped status
This bit is set when the transmission is stopped.
Bit 0 TS: Transmit status
This bit indicates that frame transmission is finished and TDES1[31] is set in the first
descriptor.

Bits 31:27 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bit 26 DTCEFD: Dropping of TCP/IP checksum error frames disable
When this bit is set, the core does not drop frames that only have errors detected by the
receive checksum offload engine. Such frames do not have any errors (including FCS error)
in the Ethernet frame received by the MAC but have errors in the encapsulated payload only.
When this bit is cleared, all error frames are dropped if the FEF bit is reset.
Bit 25 RSF: Receive store and forward
When this bit is set, a frame is read from the Rx FIFO after the complete frame has been
written to it, ignoring RTC bits. When this bit is cleared, the Rx FIFO operates in Cut-through
mode, subject to the threshold specified by the RTC bits.
Bit 24 DFRF: Disable flushing of received frames
When this bit is set, the RxDMA does not flush any frames due to the unavailability of
receive descriptors/buffers as it does normally when this bit is cleared. (See Receive
process suspended on page 1587)
Bits 23:22 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bit 21 TSF: Transmit store and forward
When this bit is set, transmission starts when a full frame resides in the Transmit FIFO.
When this bit is set, the TTC values specified by the ETH_DMAOMR register bits [16:14] are
ignored.
When this bit is cleared, the TTC values specified by the ETH_DMAOMR register bits
[16:14] are taken into account.
This bit should be changed only when transmission is stopped.
Bit 20 FTF: Flush transmit FIFO
When this bit is set, the transmit FIFO controller logic is reset to its default values and thus
all data in the Tx FIFO are lost/flushed. This bit is cleared internally when the flushing
operation is complete. The Operation mode register should not be written to until this bit is
cleared.
Bits 19:17 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bits 16:14 TTC: Transmit threshold control
These three bits control the threshold level of the Transmit FIFO. Transmission starts when
the frame size within the Transmit FIFO is larger than the threshold. In addition, full frames
with a length less than the threshold are also transmitted. These bits are used only when the
TSF bit (Bit 21) is cleared.

Ethernet (ETH): media access control (MAC) with DMA controller

Bit 13 ST: Start/stop transmission
When this bit is set, transmission is placed in the Running state, and the DMA checks the
transmit list at the current position for a frame to be transmitted. Descriptor acquisition is
attempted either from the current position in the list, which is the transmit list base address
set by the ETH_DMATDLAR register, or from the position retained when transmission was
stopped previously. If the current descriptor is not owned by the DMA, transmission enters
the Suspended state and the transmit buffer unavailable bit (ETH_DMASR [2]) is set. The
Start Transmission command is effective only when transmission is stopped. If the command
is issued before setting the DMA ETH_DMATDLAR register, the DMA behavior is
unpredictable.
When this bit is cleared, the transmission process is placed in the Stopped state after
completing the transmission of the current frame. The next descriptor position in the transmit
list is saved, and becomes the current position when transmission is restarted. The Stop
Transmission command is effective only when the transmission of the current frame is
complete or when the transmission is in the Suspended state.
Bits 12:8 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bit 7 FEF: Forward error frames
When this bit is set, all frames except runt error frames are forwarded to the DMA.
When this bit is cleared, the Rx FIFO drops frames with error status (CRC error, collision
error, giant frame, watchdog timeout, overflow). However, if the frame’s start byte (write)
pointer is already transferred to the read controller side (in Threshold mode), then the
frames are not dropped. The Rx FIFO drops the error frames if that frame's start byte is not
transferred (output) on the ARI bus.
Bit 6 FUGF: Forward undersized good frames
When this bit is set, the Rx FIFO forwards undersized frames (frames with no error and
length less than 64 bytes) including pad-bytes and CRC).
When this bit is cleared, the Rx FIFO drops all frames of less than 64 bytes, unless such a
frame has already been transferred due to lower value of receive threshold (e.g., RTC = 01).
Bit 5 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bits 4:3 RTC: Receive threshold control
These two bits control the threshold level of the Receive FIFO. Transfer (request) to DMA
starts when the frame size within the Receive FIFO is larger than the threshold. In addition,
full frames with a length less than the threshold are transferred automatically.
Note: Note that value of 11 is not applicable if the configured Receive FIFO size is 128 bytes.
Note: These bits are valid only when the RSF bit is zero, and are ignored when the RSF bit is
set to 1.
00: 64
01: 32
10: 96
11: 128
Bit 2 OSF: Operate on second frame
When this bit is set, this bit instructs the DMA to process a second frame of Transmit data
even before status for first frame is obtained.

Bit 1 SR: Start/stop receive
When this bit is set, the receive process is placed in the Running state. The DMA attempts to
acquire the descriptor from the receive list and processes incoming frames. Descriptor
acquisition is attempted from the current position in the list, which is the address set by the
DMA ETH_DMARDLAR register or the position retained when the receive process was
previously stopped. If no descriptor is owned by the DMA, reception is suspended and the
receive buffer unavailable bit (ETH_DMASR [7]) is set. The Start Receive command is
effective only when reception has stopped. If the command was issued before setting the
DMA ETH_DMARDLAR register, the DMA behavior is unpredictable.
When this bit is cleared, RxDMA operation is stopped after the transfer of the current frame.
The next descriptor position in the receive list is saved and becomes the current position
when the receive process is restarted. The Stop Receive command is effective only when
the Receive process is in either the Running (waiting for receive packet) or the Suspended
state.
Bit 0 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.

Ethernet DMA interrupt enable register (ETH_DMAIER)
Address offset: 0x101C
Reset value: 0x0000 0000
The Interrupt enable register enables the interrupts reported by ETH_DMASR. Setting a bit
to 1 enables a corresponding interrupt. After a hardware or software reset, all interrupts are
disabled.

Ethernet DMA missed frame and buffer overflow counter register
(ETH_DMAMFBOCR)
Address offset: 0x1020
Reset value: 0x0000 0000
The DMA maintains two counters to track the number of missed frames during reception.
This register reports the current value of the counter. The counter is used for diagnostic
purposes. Bits [15:0] indicate missed frames due to the STM32F75xxx and STM32F74xxx
buffer being unavailable (no receive descriptor was available). Bits [27:17] indicate missed
frames due to Rx FIFO overflow conditions and runt frames (good frames of less than 64
bytes).

Indicates the number of HCLK clock cycles multiplied by 256 for which the watchdog timer
is set. The watchdog timer gets triggered with the programmed value after the RxDMA
completes the transfer of a frame for which the RS status bit is not set due to the setting of
RDES1[31] in the corresponding descriptor. When the watchdog timer runs out, the RS bit
is set and the timer is stopped. The watchdog timer is reset when the RS bit is set high due

Complies with HDMI-CEC v1.4 specification

•

32 kHz CEC kernel with 2 clock source options
–

HSI RC oscillator with fixed prescaler (HSI/488)

–

LSE oscillator

•

Works in Stop mode for ultra-low-power applications

•

Configurable signal-free time before start of transmission
–

Automatic by hardware, according to CEC state and transmission history

–

Fixed by software (7 timing options)

•

Configurable peripheral address (OAR)

•

Supports Listen mode
–

HDMI-CEC functional description

39.3.1

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 microcontroller.
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 can be done by using a MOS
transistor, as shown on Figure 525.

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 that consists of a start bit followed by a header
block and optionally an opcode and a variable number of operand blocks.

RM0385 Rev 8

1651/1724
1668

HDMI-CEC controller (HDMI-CEC)

RM0385

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 case a
message contains additional blocks after an EOM is indicated, those additional blocks must
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 that has read its own address in the header, or by the follower that
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 must 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 highto-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 transmitting - or retransmitting - a message onto the CEC line must 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.

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 starts 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 must
monitor the CEC line, if whilst driving the line to high impedance it reads it back to 0.
Assuming then it has lost arbitration, it stops transmitting and becomes a follower.

A configurable time window is counted before starting the transmission.
In the SFT = 0 configuration, HDMI-CEC 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.

39.4.1

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
timer is still running instead, the system waits until the timer elapses before transmission
can start.

1654/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

HDMI-CEC controller (HDMI-CEC)
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.

39.5

Error handling

39.5.1

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.

39.5.2

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:

39.5.3

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 533). BRE flag also generates a CEC interrupt if the BREIE=1.

RM0385 Rev 8

1655/1724
1668

HDMI-CEC controller (HDMI-CEC)

RM0385

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.

39.5.4

Short Bit Period Error (SBPE)
SBPE is set when a bit falling edge is detected earlier than expected (see Figure 533).
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:

39.5.5

•

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 533). 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.

Bit 2 TXEOM: Tx End Of Message
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
(PING message)
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).
TXSOM can be also used as a status bit informing application whether any transmission request is
pending or under execution. The application can abort a transmission request at any time by
clearing the CECEN bit.
0: No CEC transmission is on-going
1: CEC transmission command
Note: TXSOM must be set when CECEN=1.
TXSOM must be set when transmission data is available into TXDR.
HEADER first four bits containing own peripheral address are taken from TXDR[7:4], not from
CEC_CFGR.OAR which is used only for reception.
Bit 0 CECEN: CEC enable
The CECEN bit is set and cleared by software. CECEN=1 starts message reception and enables the
TXSOM control. CECEN=0 disables the CEC peripheral, clears all bits of CEC_CR register and
aborts any on-going reception or transmission.

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

the CEC bus: no acknowledge sent.
Bits 30:16 OAR[14:0]: 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.

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.

Overview
The STM32F75xxx and STM32F74xxx are built around a Cortex®-M7 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
STM32F75xxx and STM32F74xxx MCUs.
Two interfaces for debug are available:
•

Serial wire

•

SWJ debug port (serial wire and JTAG)
The core of the STM32F75xxx and STM32F74xxx integrates the Serial Wire / JTAG Debug
Port (SWJ-DP). It is an Arm® standard CoreSight debug port that combines a JTAG-DP (5pin) interface and a SW-DP (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.

1670/1724

Debug support (DBG)
Figure 536. SWJ debug port

Figure 536 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.

40.3.1

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:

40.4

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 STM32F75xxx and STM32F74xxx MCUs are available in various packages with
different numbers of available pins. As a result, some functionality related to pin availability
(TPIU parallel output interface) 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 STM32F75xxx and STM32F74xxx MCUs offer the possibility of disabling
some or all of the SWJ-DP ports and so, of releasing (in gray in the table below) the
associated pins for general-purpose IO (GPIO) usage. For more details on how to disable
SWJ-DP port pins, refer to Section 6.3.2: 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
GPIO_AFR 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 TRST, TDI and
TMS, to 0 for TCK)

•

Cycle 2: the GPIO controller takes the control signals of the SWJTAG IO pins (like
controls of direction, pull-up/down, Schmitt trigger activation, etc.).

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

40.4.3

Debug support (DBG)

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 IO 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 IO 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: AF input pull-up

•

JTDI: AF input pull-up

•

JTMS/SWDIO: AF input pull-up

•

JTCK/SWCLK: AF input pull-down

•

JTDO: AF output 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.

RM0385

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 tristate (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 IO pin
configuration in the IOPORT controller has no effect.

40.5

STM32F75xxx and STM32F74xxx JTAG Debug Port
connection
The STM32F75xxx and STM32F74xxx MCUs integrate two serially connected JTAG Debug
Ports, the boundary scan Debug Port (IR is 5-bit wide) and the Cortex®-M7 with FPU Debug
Port (IR is 4-bit wide).
To access the Debug Port of the Cortex®-M7 with FPU for debug purposes:

Note:

1674/1724

1.

First, it is necessary to shift the BYPASS instruction of the boundary scan Debug Port.

2.

Then, for each IR shift, the scan chain contains 9 bits (=5+4) and the unused Debug
Port instruction must be shifted in using the BYPASS instruction.

3.

For each data shift, the unused Debug Port, which is in BYPASS mode, adds 1 extra

ID codes and locking mechanism
There are several ID codes inside the STM32F75xxx and STM32F74xxx MCUs. ST strongly
recommends tools designers to lock their debuggers using the MCU DEVICE ID code
located in the external PPB memory map at address 0xE0042000.

40.6.1

MCU device ID code
The STM32F75xxx and STM32F74xxx MCUs integrate an MCU ID code. This ID identifies
the ST MCU part-number and the die revision. It is part of the DBG_MCU component and is
mapped on the external PPB bus (see Section 40.16 on page 1689). 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.

Address: 0xE004 2000
Only 32-bits access supported. Read-only.

SW debug port

40.8.1

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.

40.8.2

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
0x5BA02477 (corresponding to Cortex®-M7 with FPU).

1680/1724

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385
Note:

Debug support (DBG)
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®-M7 with FPU TRM
and the CoreSight Components Technical Reference Manual.

40.8.4

40.8.5

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
IDCODE read or CTRL/STAT read or ABORT write which are accepted even if the write
buffer is full.

•

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.

access these registers directly over the internal Private Peripheral Bus (PPB).
It consists of 4 registers:

Capability of the debugger host to connect under system
reset
The reset system of the STM32F75xxx and STM32F74xxx MCU 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®-M7 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:

It is highly recommended for the debugger host to connect (set a breakpoint in the reset
vector) under system reset.

40.12

FPB (Flash patch breakpoint)
Typically in Cortex-M architecture the FPB unit allows to:
•

implement hardware breakpoints

•

patch code and data from code space to system space. This feature gives the
possibility to correct software bugs located in the Code Memory Space.

Where the use of a Software Patch or a Hardware Breakpoint is exclusive.
But there are some major changes in Pelican FPB:
•

Flash patching is no more supported (there is no FP_REMAP register)

•

All comparators are for instruction addresses (up to 8 instruction breakpoints)

•

Programmer’s model for breakpoint comparators is enhanced to allow hardware
breakpoint in full address range.

ITM (instrumentation trace macrocell)

40.14.1

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®-M7 with FPU clock or the bit clock rate
of the Serial Wire Viewer (SWV) output clocks the counter.

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.

40.14.2

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.

1686/1724

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.

ETM (Embedded trace macrocell)

40.15.1

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

For more informations on the trigger resources refer to Section 40.13: DWT (data
watchpoint trigger).
The packets transmitted by the ETM are output to the TPIU (Trace Port Interface Unit). The
formatter of the TPIU adds some extra packets (refer to Section 40.17: Pelican TPIU (trace
port interface unit)) and then outputs the complete packet sequence to the debugger host.
Note:

N.B: Cortex-M7 ETM is compliant with Arm ETM architecture v4, which programming model
is not backward compatible with Cortex-M4 ETM one (ETM architecture v3.5).

MCU debug component (DBGMCU)
The MCU debug component helps the debugger provide support for:

40.16.1

•

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.

RM0385

For this, the debugger host must first set some debug configuration registers to change the
low-power mode behavior:

40.16.2

•

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.

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.
For timers having complementary outputs, when the counter is stopped
(DBG_TIMx_STOP=1), the outputs are disabled (as if the MOE bit was reset) for safety
purposes.

40.16.3

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

•

Trace pin assignment

This DBGMCU_CR is mapped on the External PPB bus at address 0xE0042004
It is asynchronously reset by the PORESET (and not the system reset). It can be written by
the debugger under system reset.
If the debugger host does not support these features, it is still possible for the user software
to write to these registers.

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).

Pelican TPIU (trace port interface unit)

40.17.1

Introduction
The TPIU acts as a bridge between the on-chip trace data from the ITM, the ETM and the
external trace capture device.
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).

TPIU TRACE pin assignment
By default, these pins are NOT assigned. They can be assigned by setting the
TRACE_CLKINEN 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_CLKINEN 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.

Note:

By default, the TRACECLKIN input clock of the TPIU is tied to GND. It is assigned to HCLK

The debugger must then program the Trace Mode by writing the PROTOCOL[1:0] bits in the

•

PROTOCOL=00: Trace Port Mode (synchronous)

•

PROTOCOL=01 or 10: Serial Wire (Manchester or NRZ) Mode (asynchronous mode).

•

0x1 for 1 pin (default state)

•

0x2 for 2 pins

TPIU formatter
The purpose of this formatter is to build 128 bit frames containing trace data from,
potentially, both the ETM and the ITM, and to allow at a trace analyzer level a correlation
between trace packets and emitters.
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

40.17.4

TPIU frame synchronization packets
The TPIU 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.

40.17.5

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
registers DWT Control Register (bits SYNCTAP[11:10]) and the DWT Current PC Sampler
Cycle Count Register.
The TPIU Frame synchronization packet (0x7F_FF_FF_FF) is emitted:
•

1698/1724

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

RM0385 Rev 8

RM0385

Debug support (DBG)
TRACE_CLKINEN bit in the DBGMCU_CFG register is set. In this case, the word
0x7F_FF_FF_FF is not followed by any formatted packet.
•

40.17.6

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 TPIU (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.

40.17.7

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.
Single IO trace mode is typically suitable for ITM trace output. Also, formatter is disabled in
case of asynchronous trace, so merging of ETM and ITM trace streams is not possible.
TRACESWO is multiplexed with JTDO when using the SW-DP pin. This way, this
functionality is available in all STM32F75xxx and STM32F74xxx 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%.

40.17.8

TRACECLKIN connection inside the
STM32F75xxx and STM32F74xxx
In the STM32F75xxx and STM32F74xxx, this TRACECLKIN input is internally connected to
HCLK. This means that when in asynchronous trace mode, the application is restricted to
use 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 STM32F75xxx and STM32F74xxx 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_CLKINEN 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.

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).

Device electronic signature

RM0385

Device electronic signature
The electronic signature is stored in the Flash memory area. It can be read using the
JTAG/SWD or the CPU. It contains factory-programmed identification data that allow the
user firmware or other external devices to automatically match its interface to the
characteristics of the STM32F75xxx and STM32F74xxx microcontrollers.

41.1

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 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 can never be altered by the user.
The 96-bit unique device identifier can also be read in single bytes/half-words/words in
different ways and then be concatenated using a custom algorithm.
