2.1 System architecture

In STM32F411xC/E, the main system consists of 32-bit multilayer AHB bus matrix that
interconnects:
• Six masters:
– Cortex®-M4 with FPU core I-bus, D-bus and S-bus
– DMA1 memory bus
– DMA2 memory bus
– DMA2 peripheral bus
• Five slaves:
– Internal Flash memory ICode bus
– Internal Flash memory DCode bus
– Main internal SRAM
– AHB1 peripherals including AHB to APB bridges and APB peripherals
– AHB2 peripherals
The bus matrix provides access from a master to a slave, enabling concurrent access and
efficient operation even when several high-speed peripherals work simultaneously. This
architecture is shown in Figure 1.

RM0383 Memory and bus architecture

2.1.1 I-bus
This bus connects the Instruction bus of the Cortex®-M4 with FPU core to the BusMatrix.
This bus is used by the core to fetch instructions. The target of this bus is a memory
containing code (internal Flash memory/SRAM).

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

2.1.3 S-bus
This bus connects the system bus of the Cortex®-M4 with FPU core to a BusMatrix. This
bus is used to access data located in a peripheral or in SRAM. Instructions may also be
fetched on this bus (less efficient than ICode). The targets of this bus are the internal
SRAM1, the AHB1 peripherals including the APB peripherals and the AHB2 peripherals.

2.1.4 DMA memory bus

This bus connects the DMA memory bus master interface to the BusMatrix. It is used by the
DMA to perform transfer to/from memories. The targets of this bus are data memories:
internal Flash memory, internal SRAM and additionally for S4 the AHB1/AHB2 peripherals
including the APB peripherals.

2.1.5 DMA peripheral bus

This bus connects the DMA peripheral master bus interface to the BusMatrix. This bus is
used by the DMA to access AHB peripherals or to perform memory-to-memory transfers.
The targets of this bus are the AHB and APB peripherals plus data memories: Flash
memory and internal SRAM.

2.1.6 BusMatrix
The BusMatrix manages the access arbitration between masters. The arbitration uses a
round-robin algorithm.

2.1.7 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.
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 and Flash
memory interface). Before using a peripheral you have to enable its clock 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.

2.2 Memory organization

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 word’s
most significant.
For the detailed mapping of peripheral registers, please refer to the related chapters.
The addressable memory space is divided into 8 main blocks, each of 512 MB.
All the memory areas that are not allocated to on-chip memories and peripherals are
considered “Reserved”). Refer to the memory map figure in the product datasheet.

2.3.1 Embedded SRAM

STM32F411xC/E devices feature 128 Kbytes of system SRAM.
The embedded SRAM can be accessed as bytes, half-words (16 bits) or full words (32 bits).
Read and write operations are performed at CPU speed with 0 wait state.
The CPU can access the embedded SRAM1 through the System Bus or through the I-
Code/D-Code buses when boot from SRAM is selected or when physical remap is selected
(Section 7.2.1: SYSCFG memory remap register (SYSCFG_MEMRMP) in the SYSCFG
controller). To get the max performance on SRAM execution, physical remap should be
selected (boot or software selection).

2.3.2 Flash memory overview

The Flash memory interface manages CPU AHB I-Code and D-Code 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 a system of instruction
prefetch and cache lines.
The Flash memory is organized as follows:
• A main memory block divided into sectors.
• System memory from which the device boots in System memory boot mode
• 512 OTP (one-time programmable) bytes for user data.
• Option bytes to configure read and write protection, BOR level, watchdog
software/hardware and reset when the device is in Standby or Stop mode.
Refer to Section 3: Embedded Flash memory interface for more details.

2.3.3 Bit banding

The Cortex®-M4 with FPU memory map includes two bit-band regions. These regions map
each word in an alias region of memory to a bit in a bit-band region of memory. Writing to a
word in the alias region has the same effect as a read-modify-write operation on the
targeted bit in the bit-band region.
In the STM32F4xx devices both the peripheral registers and the SRAM are mapped to a bit-
band region, so that single bit-band write and read operations are allowed. The operations
are only available for Cortex®-M4 with FPU accesses, and not from other bus masters (e.g.
DMA).
A mapping formula shows how to reference each word in the alias region to a corresponding
bit in the bit-band region. The mapping formula is:
bit_word_addr = bit_band_base + (byte_offset x 32) + (bit_number × 4)
where:
– bit_word_addr is the address of the word in the alias memory region that maps to
the targeted bit
– bit_band_base is the starting address of the alias region
– byte_offset is the number of the byte in the bit-band region that contains the
targeted bit
– bit_number is the bit position (0-7) of the targeted bit

40/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 Memory and bus architecture

Example
The following example shows how to map bit 2 of the byte located at SRAM address
0x20000300 to the alias region:
0x22006008 = 0x22000000 + (0x300*32) + (2*4)
Writing to address 0x22006008 has the same effect as a read-modify-write operation on bit
2 of the byte at SRAM address 0x20000300.
Reading address 0x22006008 returns the value (0x01 or 0x00) of bit 2 of the byte at SRAM
address 0x20000300 (0x01: bit set; 0x00: bit reset).
For more information on bit-banding, please refer to the Cortex®-M4 with FPU programming
manual (see Related documents on page 1).

2.4 Boot configuration

Due to its fixed memory map, the code area starts from address 0x0000 0000 (accessed
through the ICode/DCode buses) while the data area (SRAM) starts from address
0x2000 0000 (accessed through the system bus). The Cortex®-M4 with FPU CPU always
fetches the reset vector on the ICode bus, which implies to have the boot space available
only in the code area (typically, Flash memory). STM32F4xx microcontrollers implement a
special mechanism to be able to boot from other memories (like the internal SRAM).
In the STM32F4xx, three different boot modes can be selected through the BOOT[1:0] pins
as shown in Table 2.

Table 2. Boot modes

Boot mode selection pins
Boot mode Aliasing
BOOT1 BOOT0

x 0 Main Flash memory Main Flash memory is selected as the boot space
0 1 System memory System memory is selected as the boot space
1 1 Embedded SRAM Embedded SRAM is selected as the boot space

The values on the BOOT pins are latched on the 4th rising edge of SYSCLK after a reset. It
is up to the user to set the BOOT1 and BOOT0 pins after reset to select the required boot
mode.
BOOT0 is a dedicated pin while BOOT1 is shared with a GPIO pin. Once BOOT1 has been
sampled, the corresponding GPIO pin is free and can be used for other purposes.
The BOOT pins are 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 this startup delay is over, the CPU fetches the top-of-stack value from address
0x0000 0000, then starts code execution from the boot memory starting from 0x0000 0004.
Note: When the device boots from SRAM, in the application initialization code, you have to
relocate the vector table in SRAM using the NVIC exception table and the offset register.

Embedded bootloader
The embedded bootloader mode is used to reprogram the Flash memory using one of the
following serial interfaces:
• USART1 (PA9/PA10)
• USART2 (PD5/PD6)
• I2C1 (PB6/PB7)
• I2C2 (PB10/PB3)
• I2C3 (PA8/PB4)
• SPI1 (PA4/PA5/PA6/PA7)
• SPI2 (PB12/PB13/PB14/PB15)
• SPI3 (PA15/PC10/PC11/PC12)
• USB OTG FS (PA11/12) in Device mode (DFU: device firmware upgrade).
The USART peripherals operate at the internal 16 MHz oscillator (HSI) frequency, while the
USB OTG FS require an external clock (HSE) multiple of 1 MHz (ranging from 4 to 26 MHz).
The embedded bootloader code is located in system memory. It is programmed by ST
during production. For additional information, refer to application note AN2606.

Physical remap in STM32F411xC/E

Once the boot pins are selected, the application software can modify the memory
accessible in the code area (in this way the code can be executed through the ICode bus in
place of the System bus). This modification is performed by programming the Section 7.2.1:
SYSCFG memory remap register (SYSCFG_MEMRMP) in the SYSCFG controller.
The following memories can thus be remapped:
• Main Flash memory
• System memory
• Embedded SRAM1

3.4 Read interface

3.4.1 Relation between CPU clock frequency and Flash memory read time
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 prefetch buffer must be disabled when the supply voltage is below 2.1 V. The
correspondence between wait states and CPU clock frequency is given in Table 5.
- when VOS[1:0] = 0x01, the maximum value of fHCLK = 64 MHz.
- when VOS[1:0] = 0x10, the maximum value of fHCLK = 84 MHz.
- when VOS[1:0] = 0x11, the maximum value of fHCLK = 100 MHz.

Table 5. Number of wait states according to CPU clock (HCLK) frequency

HCLK (MHz)
Wait states (WS)
(LATENCY) Voltage range Voltage range Voltage range Voltage range
2.7 V - 3.6 V 2.4 V - 2.7 V 2.1 V - 2.4 V 1.71 V - 2.1 V

0 WS (1 CPU cycle) 0 < HCLK≤ 30 0 < HCLK ≤ 24 0 < HCLK ≤ 18 0 < HCLK ≤ 16
1 WS (2 CPU cycles) 30 < HCLK ≤ 64 24 < HCLK ≤ 48 18 < HCLK ≤ 36 16 <HCLK ≤ 32
2 WS (3 CPU cycles) 64 < HCLK ≤ 90 48 < HCLK ≤ 72 36 < HCLK ≤ 54 32 < HCLK ≤ 48
3 WS (4 CPU cycles) 90 < HCLK ≤ 100 72 < HCLK ≤ 96 54 < HCLK ≤ 72 48 < HCLK ≤ 64
4 WS (5 CPU cycles) - 96 < HCLK ≤ 100 72 < HCLK ≤ 90 64 < HCLK ≤ 80
5 WS (6 CPU cycles) - - 90 < HCLK ≤ 100 80 < HCLK ≤ 96
6 WS (7 CPU cycles) - - - 96 < HCLK ≤ 100

After reset, the CPU clock frequency is 16 MHz and 0 wait state (WS) is configured in the
FLASH_ACR register.
It is highly recommended to use the following software sequences to tune the number of
wait states needed to access the Flash memory with the CPU frequency.

Increasing the CPU frequency

1. Program the new number of wait states to the LATENCY bits in the FLASH_ACR
register
2. Check that the new number of wait states is taken into account to access the Flash
memory by reading the FLASH_ACR register
3. Modify the CPU clock source by writing the SW bits in the RCC_CFGR register
4. If needed, modify the CPU clock prescaler by writing the HPRE bits in RCC_CFGR
5. Check that the new CPU clock source or/and the new CPU clock prescaler value is/are
taken into account by reading the clock source status (SWS bits) or/and the AHB
prescaler value (HPRE bits), respectively, in the RCC_CFGR register.

RM0383 Rev 3 45/844

Embedded Flash memory interface RM0383

Decreasing the CPU frequency

1. Modify the CPU clock source by writing the SW bits in the RCC_CFGR register
2. If needed, modify the CPU clock prescaler by writing the HPRE bits in RCC_CFGR
3. Check that the new CPU clock source or/and the new CPU clock prescaler value is/are
taken into account by reading the clock source status (SWS bits) or/and the AHB
prescaler value (HPRE bits), respectively, in the RCC_CFGR register
4. Program the new number of wait states to the LATENCY bits in FLASH_ACR
5. Check that the new number of wait states is used to access the Flash memory by
reading the FLASH_ACR register
Note: A change in CPU clock configuration or wait state (WS) configuration may not be effective
straight away. To make sure that the current CPU clock frequency is the one you have
configured, you can check the AHB prescaler factor and clock source status values. To
make sure that the number of WS you have programmed is effective, you can read the
FLASH_ACR register.

3.4.2 Adaptive real-time memory accelerator (ART Accelerator™)

The proprietary Adaptive real-time (ART) memory accelerator is optimized for STM32
industry-standard Arm® Cortex®-M4 with FPU processors. It balances the inherent
performance advantage of the Arm® Cortex®-M4 with FPU over Flash memory
technologies, which normally requires the processor to wait for the Flash memory at higher
operating frequencies.
To release the processor full performance, the accelerator implements an instruction
prefetch queue and branch cache which increases program execution speed from the 128-
bit Flash memory. Based on CoreMark benchmark, the performance achieved thanks to the
ART accelerator is equivalent to 0 wait state program execution from Flash memory at a
CPU frequency up to 100 MHz.

Instruction prefetch
Each Flash memory read operation provides 128 bits from either four instructions of 32 bits
or 8 instructions of 16 bits according to the program launched. So, in case of sequential
code, at least four CPU cycles are needed to execute the previous read instruction line.
Prefetch on the I-Code bus can be used to read the next sequential instruction line from the
Flash memory while the current instruction line is being requested by the CPU. Prefetch is
enabled by setting the PRFTEN bit in the FLASH_ACR register. This feature is useful if at
least one wait state is needed to access the Flash memory.

When the code is not sequential (branch), the instruction may not be present in the currently
used instruction line or in the prefetched instruction line. In this case (miss), the penalty in
terms of number of cycles is at least equal to the number of wait states.

Instruction cache memory

To limit the time lost due to jumps, it is possible to retain 64 lines of 128 bits in an instruction
cache memory. This feature can be enabled by setting the instruction cache enable (ICEN)
bit in the FLASH_ACR register. Each time a miss occurs (requested data not present in the
currently used instruction line, in the prefetched instruction line or in the instruction cache
memory), the line read is copied into the instruction cache memory. If some data contained
in the instruction cache memory are requested by the CPU, they are provided without
inserting any delay. Once all the instruction cache memory lines have been filled, the LRU
(least recently used) policy is used to determine the line to replace in the instruction memory
cache. This feature is particularly useful in case of code containing loops.

Data management
Literal pools are fetched from Flash memory through the D-Code bus during the execution
stage of the CPU pipeline. The CPU pipeline is consequently stalled until the requested
literal pool is provided. To limit the time lost due to literal pools, accesses through the AHB
databus D-Code have priority over accesses through the AHB instruction bus I-Code.
If some literal pools are frequently used, the data cache memory can be enabled by setting
the data cache enable (DCEN) bit in the FLASH_ACR register. This feature works like the
instruction cache memory, but the retained data size is limited to 8 rows of 128 bits.
Note: Data in user configuration sector are not cacheable.

3.5 Erase and program operations

For any Flash memory program operation (erase or program), the CPU clock frequency
(HCLK) must be at least 1 MHz. The contents of the Flash memory are not guaranteed if a
device reset occurs during a Flash memory operation.
Any attempt to read the Flash memory on STM32F4xx while it is being written or erased,
causes the bus to stall. Read operations are processed correctly once the program
operation has completed. This means that code or data fetches cannot be performed while
a write/erase operation is ongoing.

3.5.1 Unlocking the Flash control register

After reset, write is not allowed in the Flash control register (FLASH_CR) to protect the
Flash memory against possible unwanted operations due, for example, to electric
disturbances. The following sequence is used to unlock this register:
1. Write KEY1 = 0x45670123 in the Flash key register (FLASH_KEYR)
2. Write KEY2 = 0xCDEF89AB in the Flash key register (FLASH_KEYR)
Any wrong sequence will return a bus error and lock up the FLASH_CR register until the
next reset.
The FLASH_CR register can be locked again by software by setting the LOCK bit in the
FLASH_CR register.
Note: The FLASH_CR register is not accessible in write mode when the BSY bit in the FLASH_SR
register is set. Any attempt to write to it with the BSY bit set will cause the AHB bus to stall
until the BSY bit is cleared.

48/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 Embedded Flash memory interface

3.5.2 Program/erase parallelism

The Parallelism size is configured through the PSIZE field in the FLASH_CR register. It
represents the number of bytes to be programmed each time a write operation occurs to the
Flash memory. PSIZE is limited by the supply voltage and by whether the external VPP
supply is used or not. It must therefore be correctly configured in the FLASH_CR register
before any programming/erasing operation.
A Flash memory erase operation can only be performed by sector, or for the whole Flash
memory (mass erase). The erase time depends on PSIZE programmed value. For more
details on the erase time, refer to the electrical characteristics section of the device
datasheet.
Table 6 provides the correct PSIZE values.

Table 6. Program/erase parallelism

Voltage range 2.7 - 3.6 V Voltage range Voltage range Voltage range Voltage range
with External VPP 2.7 - 3.6 V 2.4 - 2.7 V 2.1 - 2.4 V 1.7 V - 2.1 V

Parallelism size x64 x32 x16 x8

PSIZE(1:0) 11 10 01 00

Note: Any program or erase operation started with inconsistent program parallelism/voltage range
settings may lead to unpredicted results. Even if a subsequent read operation indicates that
the logical value was effectively written to the memory, this value may not be retained.
To use VPP, an external high-voltage supply (between 8 and 9 V) must be applied to the VPP
pad. The external supply must be able to sustain this voltage range even if the DC
consumption exceeds 10 mA. It is advised to limit the use of VPP to initial programming on
the factory line. The VPP supply must not be applied for more than an hour, otherwise the
Flash memory might be damaged.

3.5.3 Erase
The Flash memory erase operation can be performed at sector level or on the whole Flash
memory (Mass Erase). Mass Erase does not affect the OTP sector or the configuration
sector.

Sector Erase
To erase a sector, follow the procedure below:
1. Check that no Flash memory operation is ongoing by checking the BSY bit in the
FLASH_SR register
2. Set the SER bit and select the sector out of the 7 sectors (STM32F411xC/E) in the
main memory block you wish to erase (SNB) in the FLASH_CR register
3. Set the STRT bit in the FLASH_CR register
4. Wait for the BSY bit to be cleared

RM0383 Rev 3 49/844

66
Embedded Flash memory interface RM0383

Mass Erase
To perform Mass Erase, the following sequence is recommended:
1. Check that no Flash memory operation is ongoing by checking the BSY bit in the
FLASH_SR register
2. Set the MER bit in the FLASH_CR register
3. Set the STRT bit in the FLASH_CR register
4. Wait for the BSY bit to be cleared
Note: If MERx and SER bits are both set in the FLASH_CR register, mass erase is performed.
If both MERx and SER bits are reset and the STRT bit is set, an unpredictable behavior may
occur without generating any error flag. This condition should be forbidden.

3.5.4 Programming
Standard programming
The Flash memory programming sequence is as follows:
1. Check that no main Flash memory operation is ongoing by checking the BSY bit in the
FLASH_SR register.
2. Set the PG bit in the FLASH_CR register
3. Perform the data write operation(s) to the desired memory address (inside main
memory block or OTP area):
– Byte access in case of x8 parallelism
– Half-word access in case of x16 parallelism
– Word access in case of x32 parallelism
– Double word access in case of x64 parallelism
4. Wait for the BSY bit to be cleared.
Note: Successive write operations are possible without the need of an erase operation when
changing bits from ‘1’ to ‘0’. Writing ‘1’ requires a Flash memory erase operation.
If an erase and a program operation are requested simultaneously, the erase operation is
performed first.

Programming errors
It is not allowed to program data to the Flash memory that would cross the 128-bit row
boundary. In such a case, the write operation is not performed and a program alignment
error flag (PGAERR) is set in the FLASH_SR register.
The write access type (byte, half-word, word or double word) must correspond to the type of
parallelism chosen (x8, x16, x32 or x64). If not, the write operation is not performed and a
program parallelism error flag (PGPERR) is set in the FLASH_SR register.
If the standard programming sequence is not respected (for example, if there is an attempt
to write to a Flash memory address when the PG bit is not set), the operation is aborted and
a program sequence error flag (PGSERR) is set in the FLASH_SR register.

50/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 Embedded Flash memory interface

Programming and caches

If a Flash memory write access concerns some data in the data cache, the Flash write
access modifies the data in the Flash memory and the data in the cache.
If an erase operation in Flash memory also concerns data in the data or instruction cache,
you have to make sure that these data are rewritten before they are accessed during code
execution. If this cannot be done safely, it is recommended to flush the caches by setting the
DCRST and ICRST bits in the FLASH_CR register.
Note: The I/D cache should be flushed only when it is disabled (I/DCEN = 0).

3.5.5 Interrupts
Setting the end of operation interrupt enable bit (EOPIE) in the FLASH_CR register enables
interrupt generation when an erase or program operation ends, that is when the busy bit
(BSY) in the FLASH_SR register is cleared (operation completed, correctly or not). In this
case, the end of operation (EOP) bit in the FLASH_SR register is set.
If an error occurs during a program, an erase, or a read operation request, one of the
following error flags is set in the FLASH_SR register:
• PGAERR, PGPERR, PGSERR (Program error flags)
• WRPERR (Protection error flag)
In this case, if the error interrupt enable bit (ERRIE) is set in the FLASH_CR register, an
interrupt is generated and the operation error bit (OPERR) is set in the FLASH_SR register.
Note: If several successive errors are detected (for example, in case of DMA transfer to the Flash
memory), the error flags cannot be cleared until the end of the successive write requests.

1: PCROP protection active on sector i.

3.6.2 Programming user option bytes

To run any operation on this sector, the option lock bit (OPTLOCK) in the Flash option
control register (FLASH_OPTCR) must be cleared. To be allowed to clear this bit, you have
to perform the following sequence:
1. Write OPTKEY1 = 0x0819 2A3B in the Flash option key register (FLASH_OPTKEYR)
2. Write OPTKEY2 = 0x4C5D 6E7F in the Flash option key register (FLASH_OPTKEYR)
The user option bytes can be protected against unwanted erase/program operations by
setting the OPTLOCK bit by software.

Modifying user option bytes

To modify the user option value, follow the sequence below:
1. Check that no Flash memory operation is ongoing by checking the BSY bit in the
FLASH_SR register
2. Write the desired option value in the FLASH_OPTCR register.
3. Set the option start bit (OPTSTRT) in the FLASH_OPTCR register
4. Wait for the BSY bit to be cleared.
Note: The value of an option is automatically modified by first erasing the user configuration sector
and then programming all the option bytes with the values contained in the FLASH_OPTCR
register.

3.6.3 Read protection (RDP)

The user area in the Flash memory can be protected against read operations by an
entrusted code. Three read protection levels are defined:
• Level 0: no read protection
When the read protection level is set to Level 0 by writing 0xAA into the read protection
option byte (RDP), all read/write operations (if no write protection is set) from/to the

RM0383 Rev 3 53/844

66
Embedded Flash memory interface RM0383

Flash memory are possible in all boot configurations (Flash user boot, debug or boot
from RAM).
• Level 1: read protection enabled
It is the default read protection level after option byte erase. The read protection Level
1 is activated by writing any value (except for 0xAA and 0xCC used to set Level 0 and
Level 2, respectively) into the RDP option byte. When the read protection Level 1 is set:
– No access (read, erase, program) to Flash memory can be performed while the
debug feature is connected or while booting from RAM or system memory
bootloader. A bus error is generated in case of read request.
– When booting from Flash memory, accesses (read, erase, program) to Flash
memory from user code are allowed.
When Level 1 is active, programming the protection option byte (RDP) to Level 0
causes the Flash memory to be mass-erased. As a result the user code area is cleared
before the read protection is removed. The mass erase only erases the user code area.
The other option bytes including write protections remain unchanged from before the
mass-erase operation. The OTP area is not affected by mass erase and remains
unchanged. Mass erase is performed only when Level 1 is active and Level 0
requested. When the protection level is increased (0->1, 1->2, 0->2) there is no mass
erase.
• Level 2: debug/chip read protection 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 or system memory bootloader is no more allowed.
– JTAG, SWV (single-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 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.

3.6.4 Write protections

Up to 7 (STM32F411xC/E) 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 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.

RM0383 Rev 3 55/844

66
Embedded Flash memory interface RM0383

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:
• Mass, bank, sector erase are configured (MER and SER = 1)
• 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 = 1 and nWRPi = 0 with 0 ≤i ≤7 bits in the FLASH_OPTCRx 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_OPTCRx register)
• The Flash memory is readout protected and an intrusion is detected.
If a program operation is requested, the WRPERR bit is set when:
• 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 user configuration sector
• 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.

3.6.5 Proprietary code readout protection (PCROP)

Flash memory user sectors (0 to7) can be protected against D-bus read accesses by using
the proprietary readout protection (PCROP).
The PCROP protection is selected as follows, through the SPRMOD option bit in the
FLASH_OPTCR register:
• SPRMOD = 0: nWRPi control the write protection of respective user sectors
• SPRMOD = 1: nWRPi control the read and write protection (PCROP) of respective
user sectors.
When a sector is readout protected (PCROP mode activated), it can only be accessed for
code fetch through ICODE Bus on Flash interface:
• Any read access performed through the D-bus triggers a RDERR flag error.
• Any program/erase operation on a PCROPed sector triggers a WRPERR flag error.

The deactivation of the SPRMOD and/or the unprotection of PCROPed user sectors can
only occur when, at the same time, the RDP level changes from 1 to 0. If this condition is not
respected, the user option byte modification is cancelled and the write error WRPERR flag
is set. The modification of the users option bytes (BOR_LEV, RST_STDBY, ..) is allowed
since none of the active nWRPi bits is reset and SPRMOD is kept active.
Note: The active value of nWRPi bits is inverted when PCROP mode is active (SPRMOD =1).
If SPRMOD = 1 and nWRPi =1, then user sector i of bank 1, respectively bank 2 is
read/write protected (PCROP).

The OTP area is divided into 16 OTP data blocks of 32 bytes and one lock OTP block of 16
bytes. The OTP data and lock blocks cannot be erased. The lock block contains 16 bytes
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
OTP lock byte. The lock bytes must only contain 0x00 and 0xFF values, otherwise the OTP
bytes might not be taken into account correctly.

4 CRC calculation unit

4.1 CRC introduction

The CRC (cyclic redundancy check) calculation unit is used to get a CRC code from a 32-bit
data word and a fixed generator polynomial.
Among other applications, CRC-based techniques are used to verify data transmission or
storage integrity. In the scope of the EN/IEC 60335-1 standard, 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.

4.2 CRC main features

• Uses CRC-32 polynomial: 0x4C11DB7
– X32 + X26 + X23 + X22 + X16 + X12 + X11 + X10 +X8 + X7 + X5 + X4 + X2+ X + 1
• Single input/output 32-bit data register
• CRC computation done in 4 AHB clock cycles (HCLK)
• General-purpose 8-bit register (can be used for temporary storage)
The block diagram is shown in Figure 6.

4.3 CRC functional description

The CRC calculation unit mainly consists of a single 32-bit data register, which:
• is used as an input register to enter new data in the CRC calculator (when writing into
the register)
• holds the result of the previous CRC calculation (when reading the register)

RM0383 Rev 3 67/844

69
CRC calculation unit RM0383

Each write operation into the data register creates a combination of the previous CRC value
and the new one (CRC computation is done on the whole 32-bit data word, and not byte per
byte).
The write operation is stalled until the end of the CRC computation, thus allowing back-to-
back write accesses or consecutive write and read accesses.
The CRC calculator can be reset to 0xFFFF FFFF with the RESET control bit in the
CRC_CR register. This operation does not affect the contents of the CRC_IDR register.

4.4 CRC registers

The CRC calculation unit contains two data registers and a control register.The peripheral
The CRC registers have to be accessed by words (32 bits).

5.1 Power supplies

There are two main power supply schemes:
• VDD = 1.7 to 3.6 V: external power supply for I/Os with the internal regulator disabled,
provided externally through VDD pins. Requires the use of an external power supply
supervisor connected to the VDD and PDR_ON pins.
• VDD = 1.8 to 3.6 V: external power supply for I/Os and the internal regulator (when
enabled), provided externally through VDD pins.
The real-time clock (RTC) and the RTC backup registers 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 STM32F4xx datasheets.

5.1.1 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 1.7 V to VDDA.

5.1.2 Battery backup domain

Backup domain description
To retain the content of the RTC backup registers 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
• PC13 to PC15 I/Os
The switch to the VBAT supply is controlled by the power-down reset embedded in the Reset
block.

Warning: During tRSTTEMPO (temporization at VDD startup) or after a PDR

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

If no external battery is used in the application, it is recommended to connect 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:
• PC14 and PC15 can be used as either GPIO or LSE pins
• PC13 can be used as a GPIO or additional functions can be configured (refer to
Table 25: RTC additional functions for more details about this pin configuration)
Note: Due to the fact that the switch only sinks a limited amount of current (3 mA), the use of
PC13 to PC15 GPIOs in output mode is restricted: the speed has to be limited to 2 MHz with

RM0383 Rev 3 71/844

89
Power controller (PWR) RM0383

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 the RTC additional function pin (refer to Table 25: RTC additional
functions for more details about this pin configuration)

Backup domain access

After reset, the backup domain (RTC registers and RTC backup register) 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 6.3.11: RCC APB1 peripheral clock enable register
(RCC_APB1ENR))
2. Set the DBP bit in the Section 5.4.1 to enable access to the backup domain
3. Select the RTC clock source: see Section 7.2.8: RTC/AWU clock
4. Enable the RTC clock by programming the RTCEN [15] bit in the Section 7.3.20: RCC
Backup domain control register (RCC_BDCR)

RTC and RTC backup registers

The real-time clock (RTC) is an independent BCD timer/counter. The RTC provides a time-
of-day clock/calendar, two programmable alarm interrupts, and a periodic programmable
wakeup flag with interrupt capability. The RTC contains 20 backup data registers (80 bytes)
which are reset when a tamper detection event occurs. For more details refer to Section 17:
Real-time clock (RTC).

5.1.3 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 one or two external capacitors to be connected to one or two
dedicated pins, VCAP_1 and for some packages VCAP_2. Specific pins must be connected
either to VSS or VDD to activate or deactivate the voltage regulator. These pins depend on
the package.
When activated by software, the voltage regulator is always enabled after Reset. It works in
three different modes depending on the application modes.
• In Run mode, the regulator supplies full power to the 1.2 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, or scale 3 can be configured through the VOS[1:0] bits of the
PWR_CR register. After reset the VOS register is set to scale 2. When the PLL is
OFF, the voltage regulator is set to scale 3 independently of the VOS register

72/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 Power controller (PWR)

content. The VOS register content is only taken into account once the PLL is
activated and the HSI or HSE is selected as clock source.
The voltage scaling allows optimizing the power consumption when the device is
clocked below the maximum system frequency.
• In Stop mode, the main regulator or the low-power regulator supplies low power to the
1.2 V 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).
The programmed voltage scale remains the same during Stop mode:
Voltage scale 3 is automatically selected when the microcontroller enters Stop
mode (see Section 5.4.1: PWR power control register (PWR_CR)).
• 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.
Note: For more details, refer to the voltage regulator section in the STM32F411xC/E datasheet.

5.2 Power supply supervisor

5.2.1 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.
To use the device below 1.8 V, the internal power supervisor must be switched off using the
PDR_ON pin (please refer to section Power supply supervisor of the
STM32F411xC/Edatasheet).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.

5.2.2 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:
• BOR Level 3 (VBOR3). Brownout threshold level 3.
• BOR Level 2 (VBOR2). Brownout threshold level 2.
• BOR Level 1 (VBOR1). Brownout threshold level 1.
Note: 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/ PDRor by an external power
supervisor if the PDR is switched off through the PDR_ON pin (see Section 5.2.1: Power-on
reset (POR)/power-down reset (PDR)).
The BOR threshold hysteresis is ~100 mV (between the rising and the falling edge of the
supply voltage).

5.2.3 Programmable voltage detector (PVD)

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

5.3 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®-M4 with FPU core stopped, peripherals kept running)
• Stop mode (all clocks are stopped)
• Standby mode (1.2 V domain powered off)

RM0383 Rev 3 75/844

89
Power controller (PWR) RM0383

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®-M4 with
FPU System Control register is set on Return from ISR.
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 low-
power mode was entered:
• If the WFI instruction or Return from ISR was used to enter the low-power mode, any
peripheral interrupt acknowledged by the NVIC can wake up the device.
• If the WFE instruction is used to enter the low-power mode, the MCU exits the low-
power mode as soon as an event occurs. The wakeup event can be generated either
by:
– NVIC IRQ interrupt:
When SEVONPEND = 0 in the Cortex®-M4 with FPU System Control register: by
enabling an interrupt in the peripheral control register and in the NVIC. When the
MCU resumes from WFE, the peripheral interrupt pending bit and the NVIC
peripheral IRQ channel pending bit (in the NVIC interrupt clear pending register)
have to be cleared. Only NVIC interrupts with sufficient priority will wakeup and
interrupt the MCU.
When SEVONPEND = 1 in the Cortex®-M4 with FPU System Control register: by
enabling an interrupt in the peripheral control register and optionally in the NVIC.
When the MCU resumes from WFE, the peripheral interrupt pending bit and when
enabled the NVIC peripheral IRQ channel pending bit (in the NVIC interrupt clear
pending register) have to be cleared. All NVIC interrupts will wakeup the MCU,
even the disabled ones.Only enabled NVIC interrupts with sufficient priority will
wakeup and interrupt the MCU.
– Event
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 159: 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.).

76/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 Power controller (PWR)

Only enabled NVIC interrupts with sufficient priority will wakeup and interrupt the MCU.

5.3.1 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 7.3.3: RCC clock configuration register (RCC_CFGR).

5.3.2 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) (see
Section 7.3.10: RCC AHB1 peripheral clock enable register (RCC_AHB1ENR),
Section 7.3.11: RCC AHB2 peripheral clock enable register (RCC_AHB2ENR)).
Disabling the peripherals clocks in Sleep mode can be performed automatically by resetting
the corresponding bit in RCC_AHBxLPENR and RCC_APBxLPENR registers.

5.3.4 Stop mode

The Stop mode is based on the Cortex®-M4 with FPU deepsleep mode combined with
peripheral clock gating. The voltage regulator can be configured either in normal or 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.
Some settings in the PWR_CR register allow to further reduce the power consumption.
When the Flash memory is in power-down mode, an additional startup delay is incurred
when waking up from Stop mode (see Table 17: Stop operating modes and Section 5.4.1:
PWR power control register (PWR_CR)).

Entering Stop mode

The Stop mode is entered according to Section : Entering low-power mode, when the
SLEEPDEEP bit in the Cortex®-M4 with FPU System Control register is set.
Refer to Table 18 for details on how to enter the Stop mode.

RM0383 Rev 3 79/844

89
Power controller (PWR) RM0383

To further reduce power consumption in Stop mode, the internal voltage regulator can be put
in low-power mode. This is configured by the LPDS bit of the PWR power control register
(PWR_CR).
If Flash memory programming is ongoing, the Stop mode entry is delayed until the memory
access is finished.
If an access to the APB domain is ongoing, The Stop mode entry is delayed until the APB
access is finished.
In Stop mode, the following features can be selected by programming individual control bits:
• Independent watchdog (IWDG): the IWDG is started by writing to its Key register or by
hardware option. Once started it cannot be stopped except by a Reset. See
Section 15.3 in Section 15: Independent watchdog (IWDG).
• Real-time clock (RTC): this is configured by the RTCEN bit in the Section 7.3.20: RCC
Backup domain control register (RCC_BDCR)
• Internal RC oscillator (LSI RC): this is configured by the LSION bit in the
Section 7.3.21: RCC clock control & status register (RCC_CSR).
• External 32.768 kHz oscillator (LSE OSC): this is configured by the LSEON bit in the
Section 7.3.20: RCC Backup domain control register (RCC_BDCR).
The ADC can also consume power during the Stop mode, unless it is disabled before
entering it. To disable it, the ADON bit in the ADC_CR2 register must be written to 0.
Note: If the application needs to disable the external clock before entering Stop mode, the HSEON
bit must first be disabled and the system clock switched to HSI.
Otherwise, if the HSEON bit is kept enabled while the external clock (external oscillator) can
be removed before entering stop mode, the clock security system (CSS) feature must be
enabled to detect any external oscillator failure and avoid a malfunction behavior when
entering stop mode.

Exiting Stop mode

The Stop mode is exited according to Section : Exiting low-power 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.
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.

5.3.5 Standby mode

The Standby mode allows to achieve the lowest power consumption. It is based on the
Cortex®-M4 with FPU deepsleep mode, with the voltage regulator disabled. The 1.2 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 and RTC backup register), and Standby circuitry (see Figure 7).

Entering Standby mode

The Standby mode is entered according to Section : Entering low-power mode, when the
SLEEPDEEP bit in the Cortex®-M4 with FPU System Control register is set.
Refer to Table 19 for more details on how to enter Standby mode.

RM0383 Rev 3 81/844

89
Power controller (PWR) RM0383

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 15.3 in Section 15: Independent watchdog (IWDG).
• Real-time clock (RTC): this is configured by the RTCEN bit in the backup domain
control register (RCC_BDCR)
• Internal RC oscillator (LSI RC): this is configured by the LSION bit in the Control/status
register (RCC_CSR).
• External 32.768 kHz oscillator (LSE OSC): this is configured by the LSEON bit in the
backup domain control register (RCC_BDCR)

Exiting Standby mode

The Standby mode is exited according to Section : Exiting low-power mode. The SBF status
flag in PWR_CR (see Section 5.4.2: PWR power control/status register (PWR_CSR))
indicates that the MCU was in Standby mode. All registers are reset after wakeup from
Standby except for PWR_CR.
Refer to Table 19 for more details on how to exit Standby mode.

I/O states in Standby mode

In Standby mode, all I/O pins are high impedance except for:
• Reset pad (still available)
• RTC_AF1 pin (PC13) if configured for tamper, time stamp, RTC Alarm out, or RTC
clock calibration out
• WKUP pin (PA0), if enabled

Debug mode
By default, the debug connection is lost if the application puts the MCU in Stop or Standby
mode while the debug features are used. This is due to the fact that the Cortex®-M4 with
FPU core is no longer clocked.
However, by setting some configuration bits in the DBGMCU_CR register, the software can
be debugged even when using the low-power modes extensively. For more details, refer to
Section 23.16.1: Debug support for low-power modes.

5.3.6 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 low-
power modes.
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 Section 7.3.20: 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.

RTC alternate functions to wake up the device from the Stop mode
• To wake up the device from the Stop mode with an RTC alarm event, it is necessary to:
a) Configure the EXTI Line 17 to be sensitive to rising edges (Interrupt or Event
modes)
b) Enable the RTC Alarm Interrupt in the RTC_CR register
c) Configure the RTC to generate the RTC alarm
• To wake up the device from the Stop mode with an RTC tamper or time stamp event, it
is necessary to:
a) Configure the EXTI Line 21 to be sensitive to rising edges (Interrupt or Event
modes)
b) Enable the RTC time stamp Interrupt in the RTC_CR register or the RTC tamper
interrupt in the RTC_TAFCR register
c) Configure the RTC to detect the tamper or time stamp event
• To wake up the device from the Stop mode with an RTC wakeup event, it is necessary
to:
a) Configure the EXTI Line 22 to be sensitive to rising edges (Interrupt or Event
modes)
b) Enable the RTC wakeup interrupt in the RTC_CR register
c) Configure the RTC to generate the RTC Wakeup event

RTC alternate functions to wake up the device from the Standby mode
• To wake up the device from the Standby mode with an RTC alarm event, it is necessary
to:
a) Enable the RTC alarm interrupt in the RTC_CR register
b) Configure the RTC to generate the RTC alarm
• To wake up the device from the Standby mode with an RTC tamper or time stamp
event, it is necessary to:
a) Enable the RTC time stamp interrupt in the RTC_CR register or the RTC tamper
interrupt in the RTC_TAFCR register
b) Configure the RTC to detect the tamper or time stamp event
• To wake up the device from the Standby mode with an RTC wakeup event, it is
necessary to:
a) Enable the RTC wakeup interrupt in the RTC_CR register
b) Configure the RTC to generate the RTC wakeup event

Safe RTC alternate function wakeup flag clearing sequence

If the selected RTC alternate function is set before the PWR wakeup flag (WUTF) is cleared,
it will not be detected on the next event as detection is made once on the rising edge.
To avoid bouncing on the pins onto which the RTC alternate functions are mapped, and exit
correctly from the Stop and Standby modes, it is recommended to follow the sequence
below before entering the Standby mode:
• When using RTC alarm to wake up the device from the low-power modes:
a) Disable the RTC alarm interrupt (ALRAIE or ALRBIE bits in the RTC_CR register)
b) Clear the RTC alarm (ALRAF/ALRBF) flag

6 Reset and clock control (RCC) for STM32F411xC/E

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

6.1.1 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.
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®-M4 with FPU Application Interrupt and Reset Control
Register must be set to force a software reset on the device. Refer to the Cortex®-M4 with
FPU technical reference manual for more details.

90/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 Reset and clock control (RCC) for STM32F411xC/E

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.
For further information on the user option bytes, refer to the STM32F411xC/E Flash
programming manual available from your ST sales office.

6.1.2 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.
These sources act on the NRST pin and it is always kept low during the delay phase. The
RESET service routine vector is fixed at address 0x0000_0004 in the memory map.
The system reset signal provided to the device is output on the NRST pin. The pulse
generator guarantees a minimum reset pulse duration of 20 µs for each internal reset
source. In case of an external reset, the reset pulse is generated while the NRST pin is
asserted low.

Reset and clock control (RCC) for STM32F411xC/E RM0383

6.1.3 Backup domain reset

The backup domain reset sets all RTC registers and the RCC_BDCR register to their reset
values.
A backup domain reset is generated when one of the following events occurs:
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.

6.2 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) for STM32F411xC/E RM0383

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
and, guarantee the appropriate frequency for peripherals that need a specific clock like USB
OTG FS, I2S and SDIO.
Several prescalers are used to configure the AHB frequency, the high-speed APB (APB2)
and the low-speed APB (APB1) domains. The maximum frequency of the AHB domain is
100 MHz. The maximum allowed frequency of the high-speed APB2 domain is 100 MHz.
The maximum allowed frequency of the low-speed APB1 domain is 50 MHz
All peripheral clocks are derived from the system clock (SYSCLK) except for:
• The USB OTG FS clock (48 MHz) and the SDIO clock (≤48 MHz) which are coming
from a specific output of PLL (PLL48CLK)
• The 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 20.4.4:
Clock generator.
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.
The timer clock frequencies for STM32F411xC/E are automatically set by hardware. There
are two cases:
1. If the APB prescaler is 1, the timer clock frequencies are set to the same frequency as
that of the APB domain to which the timers are connected.
2. Otherwise, they are set to twice (×2) the frequency of the APB domain to which the
timers are connected.
The timer clock frequencies are automatically set by hardware. There are two cases
depending on the value of TIMPRE bit in RCC_DCKCFGR register:
• If TIMPRE bit is reset:
If the APB prescaler is configured to a division factor of 1, the timer clock frequencies
(TIMxCLK) are set to HCLK. Otherwise, the timer clock frequencies are twice the
frequency of the APB domain to which the timers are connected: TIMxCLK = 2xPCLKx.
• If TIMPRE bit is set:
If the APB prescaler is configured to a division factor of 1 or 2, 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.
FCLK acts as Cortex®-M4 with FPU free-running clock. For more details, refer to the
Cortex®-M4 with FPU technical reference manual.

6.2.1 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. You select this mode 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 13.

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 13. 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).

RM0383 Rev 3 95/844

138
Reset and clock control (RCC) for STM32F411xC/E RM0383

6.2.2 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
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. You can trim the HSI frequency 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 6.2.7: Clock security system (CSS) on page 98.

6.2.3 PLL configuration

The STM32F411xC/E devices feature two 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 100 MHz)
– The second output is used to generate the clock for the USB OTG FS (48 MHz)
and the SDIO (≤50 MHz).
• A dedicated PLL (PLLI2S) used to generate an accurate clock to achieve high-quality
audio performance on the I2S interface.
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, P, Q and multiplication factor N).
The PLLI2S uses the same input clock as the main PLL (HSI or HSE). However, the PLLI2S
has dedicated enable/disable and division factors configuration bits. Refer to Section 6.3.1:
RCC clock control register (RCC_CR), Section 6.3.2: RCC PLL configuration register
(RCC_PLLCFGR) and Section 6.3.20: RCC PLLI2S configuration register
(RCC_PLLI2SCFGR). Once the PLLI2S is enabled, the configuration parameters cannot be
changed.
The two 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) and RCC clock configuration register

96/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 Reset and clock control (RCC) for STM32F411xC/E

(RCC_CFGR) can be used to configure PLL and PLLI2S, respectively.

6.2.4 LSE clock

The LSE clock is generated using a 32.768kHz 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. You select this mode 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 13.

6.2.5 LSI clock

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 low-
speed 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).

6.2.6 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.

RM0383 Rev 3 97/844

138
Reset and clock control (RCC) for STM32F411xC/E RM0383

6.2.7 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 timer TIM1, and an interrupt is
generated to inform the software about the failure (clock security system interrupt CSSI),
allowing the MCU to perform rescue operations. The CSSI is linked to the Cortex®-M4 with
FPU NMI (non-maskable interrupt) exception vector.
Note: 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 was enabled, it is also
disabled when the HSE fails.

6.2.8 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.
• If LSI is selected as the Auto-wakeup unit (AWU) clock:
– The AWU state is not guaranteed if the VDD supply is powered off. Refer to
Section 6.2.5: LSI clock on page 97 for more details on LSI calibration.
• If the HSE clock is used as the RTC clock:
– 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).

98/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 Reset and clock control (RCC) for STM32F411xC/E

Note: 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.

6.2.9 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.

6.2.10 Clock-out capability

Two microcontroller clock output (MCO) pins are available:
• MCO1
You 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
You 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.
The selected clock to output onto MCO must not exceed 100 MHz (the maximum I/O
speed).

6.2.11 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 14
and Figure 15.

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.

RM0383 Rev 3 99/844

138
Reset and clock control (RCC) for STM32F411xC/E RM0383

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.
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 ultralow-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. 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).

Bits 17:16 PLLP: Main PLL (PLL) division factor for main system clock
Set and cleared by software to control the frequency of the general PLL output clock. These
bits can be written only if PLL is disabled.
Caution: The software has to set these bits correctly not to exceed 100 MHz on this domain.
PLL output clock frequency = VCO frequency / PLLP with PLLP = 2, 4, 6, or 8

01: PLLP = 4
10: PLLP = 6
11: PLLP = 8
Bits 14:6 PLLN: Main PLL (PLL) multiplication factor for VCO
Set and cleared by software to control the multiplication factor of the VCO. These bits can
be written only when PLL is disabled. Only half-word and word accesses are allowed to
write these bits.
Caution: The software has to set these bits correctly to ensure that the VCO output
frequency is between 100 and 432 MHz. (check also Section 6.3.20: RCC PLLI2S
configuration register (RCC_PLLI2SCFGR))
VCO output frequency = VCO input frequency × PLLN with 50 ≤PLLN ≤432

Note: Multiplication factors possible for VCO input frequency higher than 1 MHz but care
must be taken to fulfill the minimum VCO output frequency as specified above.

Bits 5:0 PLLM: Division factor for the main PLL (PLL) input clock
Set and cleared by software to divide the PLL input clock before the VCO. These bits can be
written only when the PLL is disabled.
Caution: The software has to set these bits correctly to ensure that the VCO input frequency
ranges from 1 to 2 MHz. It is recommended to select a frequency of 2 MHz to limit
PLL jitter.
VCO input frequency = PLL input clock frequency / PLLM with 2 ≤PLLM ≤63

6.3.17 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, 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_CR) has to be set
before these can be modified. Refer to Section 5.1.2 on page 71 for further information.
These bits are only reset after a Backup domain Reset (see Section 6.1.3: Backup domain
reset). Any internal or external Reset will not have any effect on these bits.

RM0383 System configuration controller (SYSCFG)

7 System configuration controller (SYSCFG)

The system configuration controller is mainly used to remap the memory accessible in the
code area and manage the external interrupt line connection to the GPIOs.

7.1 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 remap:
• Two bits are used to configure the type of memory accessible at address 0x0000 0000.
These bits are used to select the physical remap by software and so, bypass the BOOT
pins.
• After reset these bits take the value selected by the BOOT pins. When booting from
main Flash memory with BOOT0 pin set to 0 this register takes the value 0x00.
In remap mode, the CPU can access the external memory via ICode bus instead of System
bus which boosts up the performance.
Address offset: 0x00
Reset value: 0x0000 000X (X is the memory mode selected by the BOOT pins)
)

8 General-purpose I/Os (GPIO)

GPIO F/G/H/I/J/K (except GPIOH0 and GPIOH1) are not available in STM32F411xC/E.

8.1 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), a 32-bit set/reset register (GPIOx_BSRR), a 32-bit locking
register (GPIOx_LCKR) and two 32-bit alternate function selection register (GPIOx_AFRH
and GPIOx_AFRL).

8.2 GPIO main features

• Up to 16 I/Os under control
• 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 configuration
• Analog function
• Alternate function input/output selection registers (at most 16 AFs per I/O)
• 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

8.3 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

RM0383 Rev 3 145/844

General-purpose I/Os (GPIO) RM0383

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 register is
to allow atomic read/modify accesses to any of the GPIO registers. In this way, there is no
risk of an IRQ occurring between the read and the modify access.

8.3.1 General-purpose I/O (GPIO)

During and just after reset, the alternate functions are not active and 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 N-MOS is activated when 0 is output).
The input data register (GPIOx_IDR) captures the data present on the I/O pin at every AHB
clock cycle.
All GPIO pins have weak internal pull-up and pull-down resistors, which can be activated or
not depending on the value in the GPIOx_PUPDR register.

8.3.2 I/O pin multiplexer and mapping

The microcontroller I/O pins are connected to onboard peripherals/modules through a
multiplexer that allows only one peripheral’s alternate function (AF) connected to an I/O pin
at a time. In this way, there can be no conflict between peripherals sharing the same I/O pin.
Each I/O pin has a multiplexer with 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 all I/Os are connected to the system’s alternate function 0 (AF0)
• The peripherals’ alternate functions are mapped from AF1 to AF13
• Cortex®-M4 with FPU EVENTOUT is mapped on AF15
This structure is shown in Figure 17 below.
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, proceed as follows:
• System function
Connect the I/O to AF0 and configure it depending on the function used:
– JTAG/SWD, after each device reset these pins are assigned as dedicated pins
immediately usable by the debugger host (not controlled by the GPIO controller)
– RTC_REFIN: this pin should be configured in Input floating mode
– MCO1 and MCO2: these pins have to be configured in alternate function mode.
Note: The user can disable some or all of the JTAG/SWD pins and so release the associated pins
for GPIO usage (released pins highlighted in gray in the table).
For more details please refer to Section 6.2.10: Clock-out capability.

8.3.3 I/O port control registers

Each of the GPIOs 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 direction (input, output, AF, analog).
The GPIOx_OTYPER and GPIOx_OSPEEDR registers are used to select the output type
(push-pull or open-drain) and speed (the I/O speed pins are directly connected to the
corresponding GPIOx_OSPEEDR register bits whatever the I/O direction). The
GPIOx_PUPDR register is used to select the pull-up/pull-down whatever the I/O direction.

8.3.4 I/O port data registers

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

8.3.5 I/O data bitwise handling

The bit set reset register (GPIOx_BSRR) is a 32-bit register which allows the application to
set and reset each individual bit in the output data register (GPIOx_ODR). The bit set reset
register has twice the size of GPIOx_ODR.
To each bit in GPIOx_ODR, correspond two control bits in GPIOx_BSRR: BSRR(i) and
BSRR(i+SIZE). When written to 1, bit BSRR(i) sets the corresponding ODR(i) bit. When
written to 1, bit BSRR(i+SIZE) 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 AHB1 write access.

8.3.6 GPIO locking mechanism

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

RM0383 Rev 3 151/844

164
General-purpose I/Os (GPIO) RM0383

freezes the corresponding bit in the control registers (GPIOx_MODER, GPIOx_OTYPER,

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

8.3.7 I/O alternate function input/output

Two registers are provided to select one out of the sixteen alternate function inputs/outputs
available for each I/O. With these registers, you can connect an alternate function to some
other pin as required by your 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 one I/O.
To know which functions are multiplexed on each GPIO pin, refer to the datasheets.
Note: The application is allowed to select one of the possible peripheral functions for each I/O at a
time.

8.3.8 External interrupt/wakeup lines

All ports have external interrupt capability. To use external interrupt lines, the port must be
configured in input mode, refer to Section 10.2: External interrupt/event controller (EXTI)
and Section 10.2.3: Wakeup event management.

8.3.9 Input configuration

When the I/O port is programmed as Input:
• the output buffer is disabled
• the Schmitt trigger input is activated
• the pull-up and pull-down resistors are activated depending on the value in the
GPIOx_PUPDR register
• The data present on the I/O pin are sampled into the input data register every AHB
clock cycle
• A read access to the input data register provides the I/O State
Figure 18 shows the input configuration of the I/O port bit.

port pins
The LSE oscillator pins OSC32_IN and OSC32_OUT can be used as general-purpose
PC14 and PC15 I/Os, respectively, when the LSE oscillator is off. The PC14 and PC15 I/Os
are only configured as LSE oscillator pins OSC32_IN and OSC32_OUT when the LSE
oscillator is ON. This is done by setting the LSEON bit in the RCC_BDCR register. The LSE
has priority over the GPIO function.
Note: The PC14/PC15 GPIO functionality is lost when the 1.2 V domain is powered off (by the
device entering the standby mode) or when the backup domain is supplied by VBAT (VDD no
more supplied). In this case the I/Os are set in analog input mode.

8.3.14 Using the OSC_IN/OSC_OUT pins as GPIO PH0/PH1 port pins

The HSE oscillator pins OSC_IN/OSC_OUT can be used as general-purpose PH0/PH1
I/Os, respectively, when the HSE oscillator is OFF. (after reset, the HSE oscillator is off). The
PH0/PH1 I/Os are only configured as OSC_IN/OSC_OUT HSE oscillator pins when the
HSE oscillator is ON. This is done by setting the HSEON bit in the RCC_CR register. The
HSE has priority over the GPIO function.

8.3.15 Selection of RTC functions

The STM32F4xx feature one GPIO pins RTC_AF1 that can be used for the detection of a
tamper or time stamp event, or RTC_ALARM, or RTC_CALIB RTC outputs.
• The RTC_AF1 (PC13) can be used for the following purposes:
RTC_ALARM output: this output can be RTC Alarm A, RTC Alarm B or RTC Wakeup
depending on the OSEL[1:0] bits in the RTC_CR register
• RTC_CALIB output: this feature is enabled by setting the COE[23] in the RTC_CR
register
• RTC_TAMP1: tamper event detection
• RTC_TS: time stamp event detection
The selection of the corresponding pin is performed through the RTC_TAFCR register as
follows:
• TAMP1INSEL is used to select which pin is used as the RTC_TAMP1 tamper input
• TSINSEL is used to select which pin is used as the RTC_TS time stamp input
• ALARMOUTTYPE is used to select whether the RTC_ALARM is output in push-pull or
open-drain mode
The output mechanism follows the priority order listed in Table 25

Bits 31:16 BRy: Port x reset bit y (y = 0..15)

These bits are write-only and can be accessed in word, half-word or byte mode. A read to
these bits returns the value 0x0000.
0: No action on the corresponding ODRx bit
1: Resets the corresponding ODRx bit
Note: If both BSx and BRx are set, BSx has priority.
Bits 15:0 BSy: Port x set bit y (y= 0..15)
These bits are write-only and can be accessed in word, half-word or byte mode. A read to
these bits returns the value 0x0000.
0: No action on the corresponding ODRx bit
1: Sets the corresponding ODRx bit

8.4.8 GPIO port configuration lock register (GPIOx_LCKR)

(x = A..E and H)
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 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 write sequence.
Each lock bit freezes a specific configuration register (control and alternate function
registers).
Address offset: 0x1C
Reset value: 0x0000 0000
Access: 32-bit word only, read/write register

Bits 31:17 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.

Bit 16 LCKK[16]: 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 an MCU reset
or a peripheral reset occurs.

LOCK key write sequence:

WR LCKR[16] = ‘1’ + LCKR[15:0]
WR LCKR[16] = ‘0’ + LCKR[15:0]
WR LCKR[16] = ‘1’ + LCKR[15:0]
RD LCKR
RD LCKR[16] = ‘1’ (this read operation is optional but it confirms that the lock is active)
Note: During the LOCK key write sequence, the value of LCK[15:0] must not change.
Any error in the lock sequence aborts the lock.
After the first lock sequence on any bit of the port, any read access on the LCKK bit will
return ‘1’ until the next CPU reset.
Bits 15:0 LCKy: Port x lock bit y (y= 0..15)
These bits are read/write but can only be written when the LCKK bit is ‘0.
0: Port configuration not locked
1: Port configuration locked

9 DMA controller (DMA)

9.1 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 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. And each has an arbiter for handling the priority
between DMA requests.

9.2 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:
– 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

RM0383 Rev 3 165/844

DMA controller (DMA) RM0383

FIFO to ensure an immediate data transfer as soon as a DMA request is triggered

by a peripheral.
• Each stream can be configured by hardware 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
• Each of the 8 streams are connected to dedicated hardware DMA channels (requests)
• Priorities between DMA stream requests are software-programmable (4 levels
consisting of very high, high, medium, low) or hardware in case of equality (request 0
has priority over request 1, etc.)
• 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:
– DMA flow controller: the number of data items to be transferred is software-
programmable 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

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 can carry 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).

1. The DMA1 controller AHB peripheral port is not connected to the bus matrix like DMA2 controller. As a result, only DMA2
streams are able to perform memory-to-memory transfers.

9.3.2 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 software-
programmable.
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, which contains the number of
transactions that still have to be performed

168/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 DMA controller (DMA)

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.

9.3.3 Channel selection

Each stream is associated with a DMA request that can be selected out of 8 possible
channel requests. The selection is controlled by the CHSEL[2:0] bits in the DMA_SxCR
register.

9.3.4 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.

170/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 DMA controller (DMA)

Priorities are managed in two stages:

• 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.

9.3.5 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 memory-
to-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.

9.3.6 Source, destination and transfer modes

Both source and destination transfers can address peripherals and memories in the entire
4 GB 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 29 describes the corresponding source and destination addresses.

11 reserved - -

When the data width (programmed in the PSIZE or MSIZE bits in the DMA_SxCR register)
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.

DMA controller (DMA) RM0383

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.

RM0383 DMA 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.

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.

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.
Note: When memory-to-memory mode is used, the Circular and direct modes are not allowed.

9.3.7 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 are
accessed through a single register.
If the Increment mode is enabled, the address of the next transfer will be 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.

174/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 DMA controller (DMA)

If PINCOS bit is set, the address of the next 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.

9.3.8 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.

9.3.9 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 don’t care) 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 30: Source and destination address registers in Double buffer mode (DBM=1).

RM0383 Rev 3 175/844

200
DMA controller (DMA) RM0383

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
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.

to-memory mode is not compatible with the Circular mode, when the Double buffer mode is enabled, it is
not allowed to configure the memory-to-memory mode.

9.3.10 Programmable data width, packing/unpacking, endianess

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-to-
peripheral 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 31: Packing/unpacking & endian behavior (bit
PINC = MINC = 1).

176/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 DMA controller (DMA)

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 9.3.11: 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 MSIZE bits are
don’t care).

DMA controller (DMA) RM0383

Note: Peripheral port may be the source or the destination (it could also be the memory source in
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 32.

00 (8-bit) 10 (32-bit) must be a multiple of 4
01 (16-bit) 10 (32-bit) must be a multiple of 2

9.3.11 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 KB address boundary because the minimum address space that
can be allocated to a single slave is 1 KB. This means that the 1 KB address boundary
should not be crossed by a burst block transfer, otherwise an AHB error would be
generated, that is not reported by the DMA registers.

9.3.12 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 software-
configurable 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 to 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) will be generated when the stream is enabled, then the stream will be
automatically disabled. The allowed and forbidden configurations are described in the
Table 33: FIFO threshold configurations.

Table 33. FIFO threshold configurations

MSIZE FIFO level MBURST = INCR4 MBURST = INCR8 MBURST = INCR16

1/4 1 burst of 4 beats forbidden

1/2 2 bursts of 4 beats 1 burst of 8 beats forbidden
Byte
3/4 3 bursts of 4 beats forbidden
Full 4 bursts of 4 beats 2 bursts of 8 beats 1 burst of 16 beats
1/4 forbidden
1/2 1 burst of 4 beats forbidden
Half-word
3/4 forbidden
Full 2 bursts of 4 beats 1 burst of 8 beats
forbidden
1/4
1/2 forbidden
Word forbidden
3/4
Full 1 burst of 4 beats

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 will be managed in single mode by the
DMA, even if a burst transaction was 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 will be free to serve the request from
the peripheral.

180/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 DMA controller (DMA)

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 will be sent with the data width set in
the MSIZE bit in the DMA_SxCR register. This means that memory will be written with an
undesired 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 will be 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-to-
peripheral 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 don’t care)
• 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.

9.3.13 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:
• 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 memory-

RM0383 Rev 3 181/844

200
DMA controller (DMA) RM0383

to-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 peripheral-
to-memory mode) the remaining data have been transferred from the FIFO into
the memory
Note: 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).

9.3.14 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: Note that 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.

182/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 DMA controller (DMA)

9.3.15 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
which are able to signal the end of the transfer, that is:
– SDIO
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:
• 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
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:
– 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 will not be 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.
Note: 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.

9.3.17 Stream configuration procedure

The following sequence should 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 have 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 should be cleared before the stream can be re-enabled.
2. Set the peripheral port register address in the DMA_SxPAR register. The data will be
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 will be 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,

184/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 DMA controller (DMA)

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: 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.

9.3.18 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 9.3.9:
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 33: 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).

RM0383 Rev 3 185/844

200
DMA controller (DMA) RM0383

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 are 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.

9.4 DMA interrupts

For each DMA stream, an interrupt can be produced on the following events:
• Half-transfer reached
• Transfer complete
• Transfer error
• Fifo error (overrun, underrun or FIFO level error)
• Direct mode error
Separate interrupt enable control bits are available for flexibility as shown in Table 35.

Transfer complete TCIF TCIE
Transfer error TEIF TEIE

Note: Before setting an Enable control bit to ‘1’, the corresponding event flag should be cleared,
otherwise an interrupt is immediately generated.

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.

Number of data items to be transferred (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 has 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.

10 Interrupts and events

10.1 Nested vectored interrupt controller (NVIC)

10.1.1 NVIC features

The nested vector interrupt controller NVIC includes the following features:
• 52 maskable interrupt channels (not including the 16 interrupt lines of Cortex®-M4 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 PM0214.

10.1.2 SysTick calibration value register

The SysTick calibration value is fixed to 10500, which gives a reference time base of 1 ms
with the SysTick clock set to 10.5 MHz (HCLK/8, with HCLK set to 84 MHz).

10.1.3 Interrupt and exception vectors

See Table 37, for the vector table for the STM32F411xC/E devices.

10.2 External interrupt/event controller (EXTI)

The external interrupt/event controller consists of up to 23 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.

10.2.1 EXTI main features

The main features of the EXTI controller are the following:
• independent trigger and mask on each interrupt/event line
• dedicated status bit for each interrupt line
• generation of up to 23 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 STM32F4xx datasheets for details on this
parameter.

10.2.3 Wakeup event management

The STM32F4xx 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®-M4 with FPU 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 10.2.4: Functional description.

10.2.4 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

Interrupts and events RM0383

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.

Hardware interrupt selection

To configure the 23 lines as interrupt sources, use the following procedure:
• Configure the mask bits of the 23 interrupt lines (EXTI_IMR)
• Configure the Trigger selection bits of the interrupt lines (EXTI_RTSR and EXTI_FTSR)
• 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 23 lines
can be correctly acknowledged.

Hardware event selection

To configure the 23 lines as event sources, use the following procedure:
• Configure the mask bits of the 23 event lines (EXTI_EMR)
• Configure the Trigger selection bits of the event lines (EXTI_RTSR and EXTI_FTSR)

Software interrupt/event selection

The 23 lines can be configured as software interrupt/event lines. The following is the
procedure to generate a software interrupt.
• Configure the mask bits of the 23 interrupt/event lines (EXTI_IMR, EXTI_EMR)
• Set the required bit in the software interrupt register (EXTI_SWIER)

11 Analog-to-digital converter (ADC)

ADC2 and ADC3 are not available in STM32F411xC/E.

11.1 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 left-
or 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.

11.2 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
• ADC supply requirements: 2.4 V to 3.6 V at full speed and down to 1.8 V at slower
speed
• ADC input range: VREF– ≤VIN ≤VREF+
• DMA request generation during regular channel conversion
Figure 31 shows the block diagram of the ADC.
Note: VREF–, if available (depending on package), must be tied to VSSA.

11.3.1 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.
Conversion starts when either the SWSTART or the JSWSTART bit is set.
You 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).

11.3.2 ADC clock

The ADC features two clock schemes:
• Clock for the analog circuitry: ADCCLK
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).

11.3.3 Channel selection

There are 16 multiplexed channels. It is possible to organize the conversions in two groups:
regular and injected. A group consists of a sequence of conversions 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.

214/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 Analog-to-digital converter (ADC)

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 (connected to channel ADC1_IN18) 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.

11.3.4 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.

11.3.5 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

RM0383 Rev 3 215/844

241
Analog-to-digital converter (ADC) RM0383

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).

11.3.6 Timing diagram

As shown in Figure 32, 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.

11.3.7 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 40 shows how the ADC_CR1 register should be configured to enable the analog
watchdog on one or more channels.

11.3.8 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.

11.3.9 Injected channel management

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

RM0383 Rev 3 217/844

241
Analog-to-digital converter (ADC) RM0383

interrupted but the regular sequence is executed at the end of the injected sequence.
Figure 34 shows the corresponding timing diagram.
Note: 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.

1. The maximum latency value can be found in the electrical characteristics of the STM32F411xC/E
datasheets.

11.3.10 Discontinuous mode

Regular group
This mode is enabled by setting the DISCEN bit in the ADC_CR1 register. It can be used to
convert a short sequence of n conversions (n ≤8) 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.

• n = 3, channels to be converted = 0, 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 10
• 1st trigger: sequence converted 0, 1, 2. An EOC event is generated at each
conversion.
• 2nd trigger: sequence converted 3, 6, 7. An EOC event is generated at each
conversion
• 3rd trigger: sequence converted 9, 10.An EOC event is generated at each conversion
• 4th trigger: sequence converted 0, 1, 2. An EOC event is generated at each conversion
Note: When a regular group is converted in discontinuous mode, no rollover 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.

11.4 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 35 and Figure 36.
The converted data value from the injected group of channels is decreased by the user-
defined 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.

11.5 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

11.6 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 41 provides the correspondence between the EXTEN[1:0]
and JEXTEN[1:0] values and the trigger polarity.

Detection on the falling edge 10

Note: The polarity of the external trigger can be changed on the fly.
The EXTSEL[3:0] and JEXTSEL[3:0] control bits are used to select which out of 16 possible
events can trigger conversion for the regular and injected groups.
Table 42 gives the possible external trigger for regular conversion.

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.

11.7 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

11.8 Data management

11.8.1 Using the DMA

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 re-
initialize 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:
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.

11.8.2 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:
1. Clear the ADC OVR bit in ADC_SR register
2. Trigger the ADC to start the conversion.

224/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 Analog-to-digital converter (ADC)

11.8.3 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.

11.9 Temperature sensor

The temperature sensor can be used to measure the ambient temperature (TA) of the
device.
Figure 38 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_IN16 or ADC1_IN18 (temperature sensor) and the ADC1_IN17 (VREFINT).

Main features
• Supported temperature range: –40 to 125 °C
• Precision: ±1.5 °C

Analog-to-digital converter (ADC) RM0383

Reading the temperature

To use the sensor:
3. Select ADC1_IN16 or 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’s 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.

11.10 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:
• VBAT/4 to the ADC1_IN18 input channel
Note: 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.

11.11 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:
• JSTRT (Start of conversion for channels of an injected group)
• STRT (Start of conversion for channels of a regular group)

Advanced-control timer (TIM1) RM0383

12 Advanced-control timer (TIM1)

TIM8 is not available in STM32F411xC/E.

12.1 TIM1 introduction

The advanced-control timers (TIM1) 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) and general-purpose (TIMx) timers are completely
independent, and do not share any resources. They can be synchronized together as
described in Section 12.3.20.

242/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 Advanced-control timer (TIM1)

12.2 TIM1 main features

TIM1 timer features include:
• 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 4 independent channels for:
– Input Capture
– 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.
• Break input to put the timer’s output signals in reset state or in a known state.
• 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
– Break input
• Supports incremental (quadrature) encoder and hall-sensor circuitry for positioning
purposes
• Trigger input for external clock or cycle-by-cycle current management

12.3 TIM1 functional description

12.3.1 Time-base unit

The main block of the programmable advanced-control timer is a 16-bit counter with its
related auto-reload register. The counter can count up, down or both up and down. The
counter clock can be divided by a prescaler.
The counter, the auto-reload register and the prescaler register can be written or read by
software. This is true even when the counter is running.
The time-base unit includes:
• Counter register (TIMx_CNT)
• Prescaler register (TIMx_PSC)
• Auto-reload register (TIMx_ARR)
• Repetition counter register (TIMx_RCR)
The auto-reload register is preloaded. Writing to or reading from the auto-reload register
accesses the preload register. The content of the preload register are transferred into the
shadow register permanently or at each update event (UEV), depending on the auto-reload
preload enable bit (ARPE) in TIMx_CR1 register. The update event is sent when the counter
reaches the overflow (or underflow when downcounting) and if the UDIS bit equals 0 in the
TIMx_CR1 register. It can also be generated by software. The generation of the update
event is described in detailed for each configuration.
The counter is clocked by the prescaler output CK_CNT, which is enabled only when the
counter enable bit (CEN) in TIMx_CR1 register is set (refer also to the slave mode controller
description to get more details on counter enabling).
Note that the counter starts counting 1 clock cycle after setting the CEN bit in the TIMx_CR1
register.

Prescaler description
The prescaler can divide the counter clock frequency by any factor between 1 and 65536. It
is based on a 16-bit counter controlled through a 16-bit register (in the TIMx_PSC register).
It can be changed on the fly as this control register is buffered. The new prescaler ratio is
taken into account at the next update event.
Figure 40 and Figure 41 give some examples of the counter behavior when the prescaler
ratio is changed on the fly:

12.3.2 Counter modes

Upcounting mode
In upcounting mode, the counter counts from 0 to the auto-reload value (content of the
TIMx_ARR register), then restarts from 0 and generates a counter overflow event.
If the repetition counter is used, the update event (UEV) is generated after upcounting is
repeated for the number of times programmed in the repetition counter register
(TIMx_RCR). Else the update event is generated at each counter overflow.
Setting the UG bit in the TIMx_EGR register (by software or by using the slave mode
controller) also generates an update event.
The UEV event can be disabled by software by setting the UDIS bit in the TIMx_CR1
register. This is to avoid updating the shadow registers while writing new values in the
preload registers. Then no update event occurs until the UDIS bit has been written to 0.
However, the counter restarts from 0, as well as the counter of the prescaler (but the
prescale rate does not change). In addition, if the URS bit (update request selection) in
TIMx_CR1 register is set, setting the UG bit generates an update event UEV but without
setting the UIF flag (thus no interrupt or DMA request is sent). This is to avoid generating
both update and capture interrupts when clearing the counter on the capture event.
When an update event occurs, all the registers are updated and the update flag (UIF bit in
TIMx_SR register) is set (depending on the URS bit):
• The repetition counter is reloaded with the content of TIMx_RCR register,
• The auto-reload shadow register is updated with the preload value (TIMx_ARR),
• The buffer of the prescaler is reloaded with the preload value (content of the TIMx_PSC
register).
The following figures show some examples of the counter behavior for different clock
frequencies when TIMx_ARR=0x36.

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.
If the repetition counter is used, the update event (UEV) is generated after downcounting is
repeated for the number of times programmed in the repetition counter register plus one
(TIMx_RCR+1). Else the update event is generated at each counter underflow.
Setting the UG bit in the TIMx_EGR register (by software or by using the slave mode
controller) also generates an update event.
The UEV 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
TIMx_SR register) is set (depending on the URS bit):
• The repetition counter is reloaded with the content of TIMx_RCR register
• 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
The following figures show some examples of the counter behavior for different clock
frequencies when TIMx_ARR=0x36.

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 auto-
reload 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 DIR direction bit in the 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 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 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 UEV update event but without setting the UIF flag (thus no interrupt or
DMA request is sent). This is to avoid generating both update and capture interrupts when
clearing the counter on the capture event.

When an update event occurs, all the registers are updated and the update flag (UIF bit in
TIMx_SR register) is set (depending on the URS bit):
• The repetition counter is reloaded with the content of TIMx_RCR register
• The buffer of the prescaler is reloaded with the preload value (content of the TIMx_PSC

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

12.3.3 Repetition counter

Section 12.3.1: Time-base unit describes how the update event (UEV) is generated with
respect to the counter overflows/underflows. It is actually generated only when the repetition
counter has reached zero. This can be useful when generating PWM signals.
This means that data are transferred from the preload registers to the shadow registers
(TIMx_ARR auto-reload register, TIMx_PSC prescaler register, but also TIMx_CCRx
capture/compare registers in compare mode) every N+1 counter overflows or underflows,
where N is the value in the TIMx_RCR repetition counter register.

256/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 Advanced-control timer (TIM1)

The repetition counter is decremented:

• At each counter overflow in upcounting mode,
• At each counter underflow in downcounting mode,
• At each counter overflow and at each counter underflow in center-aligned mode.
Although this limits the maximum number of repetition to 128 PWM cycles, it makes it
possible to update the duty cycle twice per PWM period. When refreshing compare
registers only once per PWM period in center-aligned mode, maximum resolution is
2xTck, due to the symmetry of the pattern.
The repetition counter is an auto-reload type; the repetition rate is maintained as defined by
the TIMx_RCR register value (refer to Figure 59). When the update event is generated by
software (by setting the UG bit in TIMx_EGR register) or by hardware through the slave
mode controller, it occurs immediately whatever the value of the repetition counter is and the
repetition counter is reloaded with the content of the TIMx_RCR register.
In center-aligned mode, for odd values of RCR, the update event occurs either on the
overflow or on the underflow depending on when the RCR register was written and when
the counter was started. If the RCR was written before starting the counter, the UEV occurs
on the overflow. If the RCR was written after starting the counter, the UEV occurs on the
underflow. For example for RCR = 3, the UEV is generated on each 4th overflow or
underflow event depending on when RCR was written.

12.3.4 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
• Internal trigger inputs (ITRx): using one timer as prescaler for another timer, for
example, the user can configure Timer 1 to act as a prescaler for Timer 2. Refer to
Using one timer as prescaler for another timer for more details.

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 60 shows the behavior of the control circuit and the upcounter in normal mode,
without prescaler.

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

12.3.5 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 65 to Figure 68 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.

12.3.6 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 written 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:
• 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.
• Program the needed input filter duration with respect to the signal connected to the
timer (by programming ICxF bits in the TIMx_CCMRx register if the input is a TIx input).
Let’s imagine that, when toggling, the input signal is not stable during at must five
internal clock cycles. We must program a filter duration longer than these five 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.
• 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).
• 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).
• Enable capture from the counter into the capture register by setting the CC1E bit in the
TIMx_CCER register.
• 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.

12.3.7 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, 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):
• Select the active input for TIMx_CCR1: write the CC1S bits to 01 in the TIMx_CCMR1
register (TI1 selected).
• 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).
• Select the active input for TIMx_CCR2: write the CC2S bits to 10 in the TIMx_CCMR1
register (TI1 selected).
• Select the active polarity for TI1FP2 (used for capture in TIMx_CCR2): write the CC2P
and CC2NP bits to ‘1’ (active on falling edge).
• Select the valid trigger input: write the TS bits to 101 in the TIMx_SMCR register
(TI1FP1 selected).
• Configure the slave mode controller in reset mode: write the SMS bits to 100 in the
TIMx_SMCR register.
• Enable the captures: write the CC1E and CC2E bits to ‘1’ in the TIMx_CCER register.

Figure 69. PWM input mode timing

12.3.8 Forced output mode

In output mode (CCxS bits = 00 in the TIMx_CCMRx register), each output compare signal
(OCxREF and then OCx/OCxN) can be forced to active or inactive level directly by software,
independently of any comparison between the output compare register and the counter.
To force an output compare signal (OCXREF/OCx) to its active level, the user just needs to
write 101 in the OCxM bits in the corresponding TIMx_CCMRx register. Thus OCXREF is

RM0383 Rev 3 265/844

314
Advanced-control timer (TIM1) RM0383

forced high (OCxREF is always active high) and OCx get opposite value to CCxP polarity
bit.
For example: CCxP=0 (OCx active high) => OCx is forced to high level.
The OCxREF signal can be forced low by writing the OCxM bits to 100 in the TIMx_CCMRx
register.
Anyway, the comparison between the TIMx_CCRx shadow register and the counter is still
performed and allows the flag to be set. Interrupt and DMA requests can be sent
accordingly. This is described in the output compare mode section below.

12.3.9 Output compare mode

This function is used to control an output waveform or indicating when a period of time has
elapsed.
When a match is found between the capture/compare register and the counter, the output
compare function:
• 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 bit if an interrupt request is to be generated.
4. Select the output mode. For example:
– Write OCxM = 011 to toggle OCx output pin when CNT matches CCRx
– Write OCxPE = 0 to disable preload register
– Write CCxP = 0 to select active high polarity
– Write CCxE = 1 to enable the output
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 70.

12.3.10 PWM mode

Pulse Width Modulation mode allows generating 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. The corresponding preload register must be enabled 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, the user must 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.

PWM edge-aligned mode

• Upcounting configuration
Upcounting is active when the DIR bit in the TIMx_CR1 register is low. Refer to
Upcounting mode.
In the following example, we consider PWM mode 1. The reference PWM signal
OCxREF is high as long as TIMx_CNT < TIMx_CCRx else it becomes low. If the

RM0383 Rev 3 267/844

314
Advanced-control timer (TIM1) RM0383

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 71 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
Downcounting mode
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

268/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 Advanced-control timer (TIM1)

Center-aligned mode (up/down counting).

Figure 72 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

RM0383 Rev 3 269/844

314
Advanced-control timer (TIM1) RM0383

in the TIMx_CR1 register. Moreover, the DIR and CMS bits must not be changed at the
same time by the software.
• Writing to the counter while running in center-aligned mode is not recommended as it
can lead to unexpected results. In particular:
– The direction is not updated if the user writes a value in the counter greater than
the auto-reload value (TIMx_CNT>TIMx_ARR). For example, if the counter was
counting up, it will continue to count up.
– The direction is updated if the user writes 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.

12.3.11 Complementary outputs and dead-time insertion

The advanced-control timers (TIM1) 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 it has to be adjust it depending on the
devices connected to the outputs and their characteristics (intrinsic delays of level-shifters,
delays due to power switches...)
User 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 50
for more details. In particular, the dead-time is activated when switching to the IDLE state
(MOE falling down to 0).
Dead-time insertion is enabled by setting both CCxE and CCxNE bits, and the MOE bit if the
break circuit is present. DTG[7:0] bits of the TIMx_BDTR register are used to control the
dead-time generation for all channels. 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 12.4.18: TIM1 break and dead-time
register (TIMx_BDTR) 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 the user to send a specific waveform (such as PWM or static active level) on
one output while the complementary remains at its inactive level. Other possibilities are to

RM0383 Rev 3 271/844

314
Advanced-control timer (TIM1) RM0383

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.

12.3.12 Using the break function

When using the break function, the output enable signals and inactive levels are modified
according to additional control bits (MOE, OSSI and OSSR bits in the TIMx_BDTR register,
OISx and OISxN bits in the TIMx_CR2 register). In any case, the OCx and OCxN outputs
cannot be set both to active level at a given time. Refer to Table 50 for more details.
The break source can be either the break input pin or a clock failure event, generated by the
Clock Security System (CSS), from the Reset Clock Controller. For further information on
the Clock Security System, refer to Section 6.2.7: Clock security system (CSS).
When exiting from reset, the break circuit is disabled and the MOE bit is low. User can
enable the break function by setting the BKE bit in the TIMx_BDTR register. The break input
polarity can be selected by configuring the BKP bit in the same register. BKE and BKP can
be modified at the same time. When the BKE and BKP bits are written, a delay of 1 APB
clock cycle is applied before the writing is effective. Consequently, it is necessary to wait 1
APB clock period to correctly read back the bit after the write operation.
Because MOE falling edge can be asynchronous, a resynchronization circuit has been
inserted between the actual signal (acting on the outputs) and the synchronous control bit
(accessed in the TIMx_BDTR register). It results in some delays between the asynchronous
and the synchronous signals. In particular, if MOE is written to 1 whereas it was low, a delay
(dummy instruction) must be inserted before reading it correctly. This is because the user
writes an asynchronous signal, but reads a synchronous signal.
When a break occurs (selected level on the break input):
• The MOE bit is cleared asynchronously, putting the outputs in inactive state, idle state
or in reset state (selected by the OSSI bit). This feature functions even if the MCU
oscillator is off.
• Each output channel is driven with the level programmed in the OISx bit in the
TIMx_CR2 register as soon as MOE=0. If OSSI=0 then the timer releases the enable
output else the enable output remains high.
• When complementary outputs are used:
– The outputs are first put in reset state inactive state (depending on the polarity).
This is done asynchronously so that it works even if no clock is provided to the
timer.
– If the timer clock is still present, then the dead-time generator is reactivated in
order to drive the outputs with the level programmed in the OISx and OISxN bits
after a dead-time. Even in this case, OCx and OCxN cannot be driven to their

272/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 Advanced-control timer (TIM1)

active level together. Note that because of the resynchronization on MOE, the
dead-time duration is a bit longer than usual (around 2 ck_tim clock cycles).
– If OSSI=0 then the timer releases the enable outputs else the enable outputs
remain or become high as soon as one of the CCxE or CCxNE bits is high.
• The break status flag (BIF bit in the TIMx_SR register) is set. An interrupt can be
generated if the BIE bit in the TIMx_DIER register is set. A DMA request can be sent if
the BDE bit in the TIMx_DIER register is set.
• If the AOE bit in the TIMx_BDTR register is set, the MOE bit is automatically set again
at the next update event UEV. This can be used to perform a regulation, for instance.
Else, MOE remains low until it is written to ‘1’ again. In this case, it can be used for
security and the break input can be connected to an alarm from power drivers, thermal
sensors or any security components.
Note: The break inputs is acting on level. Thus, the MOE cannot be set while the break input is
active (neither automatically nor by software). In the meantime, the status flag BIF cannot
be cleared.
The break can be generated by the BRK input which has a programmable polarity and an
enable bit BKE in the TIMx_BDTR Register.
There are two solutions to generate a break:
• By using the BRK input which has a programmable polarity and an enable bit BKE in
the TIMx_BDTR register
• By software through the BG bit of the TIMx_EGR register.
In addition to the break input and the output management, a write protection has been
implemented inside the break circuit to safeguard the application. It allows freezing the
configuration of several parameters (dead-time duration, OCx/OCxN polarities and state
when disabled, OCxM configurations, break enable and polarity). The user can choose from
three levels of protection selected by the LOCK bits in the TIMx_BDTR register. Refer to
Section 12.4.18: TIM1 break and dead-time register (TIMx_BDTR). The LOCK bits can be
written only once after an MCU reset.

12.3.13 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.
This function can only be used in output compare and PWM modes, and does not work in
forced mode.
For example, the ETR signal can be connected to the output of a comparator to be used for
current handling. In this case, the ETR must be configured as follow:
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 77 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.

12.3.14 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. The user can thus 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).
Figure 78 describes the behavior of the OCx and OCxN outputs when a COM event occurs,
in 3 different examples of programmed configurations.

12.3.15 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. 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 the user 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:
• Map TI2FP2 to TI2 by writing CC2S=’01’ in the TIMx_CCMR1 register.
• TI2FP2 must detect a rising edge, write CC2P=’0’ and CC2NP=’0’ in the TIMx_CCER
register.
• Configure TI2FP2 as trigger for the slave mode controller (TRGI) by writing TS=’110’ in
the TIMx_SMCR register.
• TI2FP2 is used to start the counter by writing SMS to ‘110’ in the TIMx_SMCR register
(trigger mode).

RM0383 Rev 3 277/844

314
Advanced-control timer (TIM1) RM0383

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 us say the user wants 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, enable PWM mode 2 by writing OC1M=111 in the
TIMx_CCMR1 register. The user 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 the compare value must be written 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.
The user only wants one pulse (Single mode), so '1’ must be written 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 the user wants to output a waveform with the minimum delay, the OCxFE bit in the
TIMx_CCMRx register must be set. 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.

12.3.16 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, the user 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 incremental encoder. Refer to
Table 48. 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

278/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 Advanced-control timer (TIM1)

TIMx_ARR register (0 to ARR or ARR down to 0 depending on the direction). So user must
configure TIMx_ARR before starting. in the same way, the capture, compare, prescaler,
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.
In this mode, the counter is modified automatically following the speed and the direction of
the incremental encoder and its content, therefore, always represents the encoder’s
position. The count direction correspond to the rotation direction of the connected sensor.
Table 48 summarizes the possible combinations, assuming TI1 and TI2 do not switch at the
same time.

An external incremental encoder can be connected directly to the MCU without external
interface logic. However, comparators are normally be used to convert the encoder’s
differential outputs to digital signals. This greatly increases noise immunity. The third
encoder output which indicate the mechanical zero position, may be connected to an
external interrupt input and trigger a counter reset.
Figure 80 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).
• CC1P=’0’, CC1NP=’0’, and IC1F = ‘0000’ (TIMx_CCER register, TI1FP1 non-inverted,
TI1FP1=TI1).
• CC2P=’0’, CC2NP=’0’, and IC2F = ‘0000’ (TIMx_CCER register, TI1FP2 non-inverted,
TI1FP2= TI2).
• SMS=’011’ (TIMx_SMCR register, both inputs are active on both rising and falling
edges).
• CEN=’1’ (TIMx_CR1 register, Counter enabled).

The timer, when configured in Encoder Interface mode provides information on the sensor’s
current position.The user 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. This can be done by latching the counter value into a third
input capture register if available (then the capture signal must be periodic and can be
generated by another timer). when available, it is also possible to read its value through a
DMA request generated by a real-time clock.

12.3.17 Timer input XOR function

The TI1S bit in the TIMx_CR2 register, allows the input filter of channel 1 to be connected to
the output of a XOR gate, combining the three input pins TIMx_CH1, TIMx_CH2 and
TIMx_CH3.
The XOR output can be used with all the timer input functions such as trigger or input
capture. An example of this feature used to interface Hall sensors is given in
Section 12.3.18.

12.3.18 Interfacing with Hall sensors

This is done using the advanced-control timers (TIM1) to generate PWM signals to drive the
motor and another timer TIMx (TIM2, TIM3, TIM4 or TIM5) referred to as “interfacing timer”
in Figure 82. The “interfacing timer” captures the 3 timer input pins (TIMx_CH1, TIMx_CH2,
and TIMx_CH3) 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 65). The captured value, which corresponds to the time
elapsed between 2 changes on the inputs, gives information about motor speed.
The “interfacing timer” can be used in output mode to generate a pulse which changes the
configuration of the channels of the advanced-control timer (TIM1) (by triggering a COM
event). The TIM1 timer is used to generate PWM signals to drive the motor. To do this, the
interfacing timer channel must be programmed so 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) through the TRGO output.
Example: the user wants to change the PWM configuration of the 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 channel 1 in capture mode (TRC selected): write the CC1S bits in the
TIMx_CCMR1 register to ‘11’. The user can also program the digital filter if needed,
• Program 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).

12.3.19 TIMx and external trigger synchronization

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

Slave mode: Reset mode

The counter and its prescaler can be reinitialized in response to an event on a trigger input.
Moreover, if the URS bit from the TIMx_CR1 register is low, an update event UEV is
generated. Then all the preloaded registers (TIMx_ARR, TIMx_CCRx) are updated.
In the following example, the upcounter is cleared in response to a rising edge on TI1 input:
• 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 there’s no 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.

Advanced-control timer (TIM1) RM0383

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:
• 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 the user does not need to configure it. The
CC1S bits select the input capture source only, CC1S=01 in TIMx_CCMR1 register.
Write CC1P=1 and CC1NP=’0’ in TIMx_CCER register to validate the polarity (and
detect low level only).
• 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.
• 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.

The counter can start in response to an event on a selected input.
In the following example, the upcounter starts in response to a rising edge on TI2 input:
• Configure the channel 2 to detect rising edges on TI2. Configure the input filter duration
(in this example, we don’t need any filter, so we keep IC2F=0000). The capture
prescaler is not used for triggering, so there’s no need to configure it. The CC2S bits
are configured to select the input capture source only, CC2S=01 in TIMx_CCMR1

(and detect low level only).
• Configure the timer in trigger mode by writing SMS=110 in TIMx_SMCR register. Select
TI2 as the input source by writing TS=110 in TIMx_SMCR register.
When a rising edge occurs on TI2, the counter starts counting on the internal clock and the
TIF flag is set.
The delay between the rising edge on TI2 and the actual start of the counter is due to the
resynchronization circuit on TI2 input.

Slave mode: external clock mode 2 + trigger mode

The external clock mode 2 can be used in addition to another slave mode (except external
clock mode 1 and encoder mode). In this case, the ETR signal is used as external clock
input, and another input can be selected as trigger input (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:
1. Configure the external trigger input circuit by programming the TIMx_SMCR register as
follows:
– ETF = 0000: no filter
– ETPS = 00: prescaler disabled
– ETP = 0: detection of rising edges on ETR and ECE=1 to enable the external clock
mode 2.
2. Configure the channel 1 as follows, to detect rising edges on TI:
– IC1F=0000: no filter.
– The capture prescaler is not used for triggering and does not need to be
configured.
– CC1S=01 in TIMx_CCMR1 register to select only the input capture source

RM0383 Rev 3 285/844

314
Advanced-control timer (TIM1) RM0383

– CC1P=0 and CC1NP=’0’ in TIMx_CCER register to validate the polarity (and

detect rising edge only).
3. Configure the timer in trigger mode by writing SMS=110 in TIMx_SMCR register. Select
TI1 as the input source by writing TS=101 in TIMx_SMCR register.
A rising edge on TI1 enables the counter and sets the TIF flag. The counter then counts on
ETR rising edges.
The delay between the rising edge of the ETR signal and the actual reset of the counter is
due to the resynchronization circuit on ETRP input.

12.3.20 Timer synchronization

The TIM timers are linked together internally for timer synchronization or chaining. Refer to
Section 13.3.15: Timer synchronization for details.
Note: The clock of the slave timer must be enabled prior to receive events from the master timer,
and must not be changed on-the-fly while triggers are received from the master timer.

12.3.21 Debug mode

When the microcontroller enters debug mode (Cortex®-M4 with FPU core halted), the TIMx
counter either continues to work normally or stops, depending on DBG_TIMx_STOP
configuration bit in DBG module. For more details, refer to Section 23.16.2: Debug support
for timers, watchdog and I2C.
For safety purposes, when the counter is stopped (DBG_TIMx_STOP = 1 in
DBGMCU_APBx_FZ register), 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) to force them to Hi-Z.

Bit 9 OIS1N: Output Idle state 1 (OC1N output)

0: OC1N=0 after a dead-time when MOE=0
1: OC1N=1 after a dead-time when MOE=0
Note: This bit can not be modified as long as LOCK level 1, 2 or 3 has been programmed
(LOCK bits in TIMx_BDTR register).
Bit 8 OIS1: Output Idle state 1 (OC1 output)
0: OC1=0 (after a dead-time if OC1N is implemented) when MOE=0
1: OC1=1 (after a dead-time if OC1N is implemented) when MOE=0
Note: This bit can not be modified as long as LOCK level 1, 2 or 3 has been programmed
(LOCK bits in TIMx_BDTR register).
Bit 7 TI1S: TI1 selection
0: The TIMx_CH1 pin is connected to TI1 input
1: The TIMx_CH1, CH2 and CH3 pins are connected to the TI1 input (XOR combination)
Bits 6:4 MMS[2:0]: Master mode selection
These bits allow to select the information to be sent in master mode to slave timers for
synchronization (TRGO). The combination is as follows:
000: Reset - the UG bit from the TIMx_EGR register is used as trigger output (TRGO). If the
reset is generated by the trigger input (slave mode controller configured in reset mode) then
the signal on TRGO is delayed compared to the actual reset.
001: Enable - the Counter Enable signal CNT_EN is used as trigger output (TRGO). It is
useful to start several timers at the same time or to control a window in which a slave timer is
enable. The Counter Enable signal is generated by a logic OR between CEN control bit and
the trigger input when configured in gated mode. When the Counter Enable signal is
controlled by the trigger input, there is a delay on TRGO, except if the master/slave mode is
selected (see the MSM bit description in TIMx_SMCR register).
010: Update - The update event is selected as trigger output (TRGO). For instance a master
timer can then be used as a prescaler for a slave timer.
011: Compare Pulse - The trigger output send a positive pulse when the CC1IF flag is to be
set (even if it was already high), as soon as a capture or a compare match occurred.
(TRGO).
100: Compare - OC1REF signal is used as trigger output (TRGO)
101: Compare - OC2REF signal is used as trigger output (TRGO)
110: Compare - OC3REF signal is used as trigger output (TRGO)
111: Compare - OC4REF signal is used as trigger output (TRGO)
Note: The clock of the slave timer and ADC must be enabled prior to receiving events from
the master timer, and must not be changed on-the-fly while triggers are received from
the master timer.
Bit 3 CCDS: Capture/compare DMA selection
0: CCx DMA request sent when CCx event occurs
1: CCx DMA requests sent when update event occurs

Bit 2 CCUS: Capture/compare control update selection

0: When capture/compare control bits are preloaded (CCPC=1), they are updated by setting
the COMG bit only
1: When capture/compare control bits are preloaded (CCPC=1), they are updated by setting
the COMG bit or when an rising edge occurs on TRGI
Note: This bit acts only on channels that have a complementary output.
Bit 1 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bit 0 CCPC: Capture/compare preloaded control
0: CCxE, CCxNE and OCxM bits are not preloaded
1: CCxE, CCxNE and OCxM bits are preloaded, after having been written, they are updated
only when a commutation event (COM) occurs (COMG bit set or rising edge detected on
TRGI, depending on the CCUS bit).
Note: This bit acts only on channels that have a complementary output.

Bit 15 ETP: External trigger polarity

This bit selects whether ETR or ETR is used for trigger operations
0: ETR is non-inverted, active at high level or rising edge.
1: ETR is inverted, active at low level or falling edge.
Bit 14 ECE: External clock enable
This bit enables External clock mode 2.
0: External clock mode 2 disabled
1: External clock mode 2 enabled. The counter is clocked by any active edge on the ETRF
signal.
Note: 1: Setting the ECE bit has the same effect as selecting external clock mode 1 with
TRGI connected to ETRF (SMS=111 and TS=111).
2: It is possible to simultaneously use external clock mode 2 with the following slave
modes: reset mode, gated mode and trigger mode. Nevertheless, TRGI must not be
connected to ETRF in this case (TS bits must not be 111).
3: If external clock mode 1 and external clock mode 2 are enabled at the same time,
the external clock input is ETRF.
Bits 13:12 ETPS[1:0]: External trigger prescaler
External trigger signal ETRP frequency must be at most 1/4 of TIMxCLK frequency. A
prescaler can be enabled to reduce ETRP frequency. It is useful when inputting fast external
clocks.

0: No action
1: The effect of an event on the trigger input (TRGI) is delayed to allow a perfect
synchronization between the current timer and its slaves (through TRGO). It is useful if we
want to synchronize several timers on a single external event.

Bits 2:0 SMS: Slave mode selection

When external signals are selected the active edge of the trigger signal (TRGI) is linked to
the polarity selected on the external input (see Input Control register and Control Register
description.
000: Slave mode disabled - if CEN = ‘1’ then the prescaler is clocked directly by the internal
clock.
001: Encoder mode 1 - Counter counts up/down on TI2FP1 edge depending on TI1FP2
level.
010: Encoder mode 2 - Counter counts up/down on TI1FP2 edge depending on TI2FP1
level.
011: Encoder mode 3 - Counter counts up/down on both TI1FP1 and TI2FP2 edges
depending on the level of the other input.
100: Reset Mode - Rising edge of the selected trigger input (TRGI) reinitializes the counter
and generates an update of the registers.
101: Gated Mode - The counter clock is enabled when the trigger input (TRGI) is high. The
counter stops (but is not reset) as soon as the trigger becomes low. Both start and stop of
the counter are controlled.
110: Trigger Mode - The counter starts at a rising edge of the trigger TRGI (but it is not
reset). Only the start of the counter is controlled.
111: External Clock Mode 1 - Rising edges of the selected trigger (TRGI) clock the counter.
Note: The gated mode must not be used if TI1F_ED is selected as the trigger input
(TS=’100’). Indeed, TI1F_ED outputs 1 pulse for each transition on TI1F, whereas the
gated mode checks the level of the trigger signal.
The clock of the slave timer must be enabled prior to receiving events from the master
timer, and must not be changed on-the-fly while triggers are received from the master
timer.

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

Bits 6:4 OC1M: Output Compare 1 mode

These bits define the behavior of the output reference signal OC1REF from which OC1 and
OC1N are derived. OC1REF is active high whereas OC1 and OC1N active level depends
on CC1P and CC1NP bits.
000: Frozen - The comparison between the output compare register TIMx_CCR1 and the
counter TIMx_CNT has no effect on the outputs.(this mode is used to generate a timing
base).
001: Set channel 1 to active level on match. OC1REF signal is forced high when the counter
TIMx_CNT matches the capture/compare register 1 (TIMx_CCR1).
010: Set channel 1 to inactive level on match. OC1REF signal is forced low when the
counter TIMx_CNT matches the capture/compare register 1 (TIMx_CCR1).
011: Toggle - OC1REF toggles when TIMx_CNT=TIMx_CCR1.
100: Force inactive level - OC1REF is forced low.
101: Force active level - OC1REF is forced high.
110: PWM mode 1 - In upcounting, channel 1 is active as long as TIMx_CNT<TIMx_CCR1
else inactive. In downcounting, channel 1 is inactive (OC1REF=‘0’) as long as
TIMx_CNT>TIMx_CCR1 else active (OC1REF=’1’).
111: PWM mode 2 - In upcounting, channel 1 is inactive as long as TIMx_CNT<TIMx_CCR1
else active. In downcounting, channel 1 is active as long as TIMx_CNT>TIMx_CCR1 else
inactive.
Note: 1: These bits can not be modified as long as LOCK level 3 has been programmed
(LOCK bits in TIMx_BDTR register) and CC1S=’00’ (the channel is configured in
output).
2: In PWM mode 1 or 2, the OCREF level changes only when the result of the
comparison changes or when the output compare mode switches from “frozen” mode
to “PWM” mode.
3: On channels having a complementary output, this bit field is preloaded. If the CCPC
bit is set in the TIMx_CR2 register then the OC1M active bits take the new value from
the preloaded bits only when a COM event is generated.
Bit 3 OC1PE: Output Compare 1 preload enable
0: Preload register on TIMx_CCR1 disabled. TIMx_CCR1 can be written at anytime, the
new value is taken in account immediately.
1: Preload register on TIMx_CCR1 enabled. Read/Write operations access the preload
register. TIMx_CCR1 preload value is loaded in the active register at each update event.
Note: 1: These bits can not be modified as long as LOCK level 3 has been programmed
(LOCK bits in TIMx_BDTR register) and CC1S=’00’ (the channel is configured in
output).
2: The PWM mode can be used without validating the preload register only in one
pulse mode (OPM bit set in TIMx_CR1 register). Else the behavior is not guaranteed.
Bit 2 OC1FE: Output Compare 1 fast enable
This bit is used to accelerate the effect of an event on the trigger in input on the CC output.
0: CC1 behaves normally depending on counter and CCR1 values even when the trigger is
ON. The minimum delay to activate CC1 output when an edge occurs on the trigger input is
5 clock cycles.
1: An active edge on the trigger input acts like a compare match on CC1 output. Then, OC is
set to the compare level independently 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.

Example: Let us consider the following transfer: DBL = 7 transfers and DBA = TIMx_CR1. In
this case the transfer is done to/from 7 registers starting from the TIMx_CR1 address.

Bits 31:0 DMAB[31:0]: DMA register for burst accesses

A read or write operation to the DMAR register accesses the register located at the address
(TIMx_CR1 address) + (DBA + DMA index) x 4
where TIMx_CR1 address is the address of the control register 1, DBA is the DMA base
address configured in TIMx_DCR register, DMA index is automatically controlled by the
DMA transfer, and ranges from 0 to DBL (DBL configured in TIMx_DCR).

Example of how to use the DMA burst feature

In this example the timer DMA burst feature is used to update the contents of the CCRx
registers (x = 2, 3, 4) with the DMA transferring half words into the CCRx registers.
This is done in the following steps:
1. Configure the corresponding DMA channel as follows:
– DMA channel peripheral address is the DMAR register address
– DMA channel memory address is the address of the buffer in the RAM containing
the data to be transferred by DMA into CCRx registers.
– Number of data to transfer = 3 (See note below).
– Circular mode disabled.
2. Configure the DCR register by configuring the DBA and DBL bit fields as follows:
DBL = 3 transfers, DBA = 0xE.
3. Enable the TIMx update DMA request (set the UDE bit in the DIER register).
4. Enable TIMx
5. Enable the DMA channel
Note: This example is for the case where every CCRx register to be updated once. If every CCRx
register is to be updated twice for example, the number of data to transfer should be 6. Let's
take the example of a buffer in the RAM containing data1, data2, data3, data4, data5 and
data6. The data is transferred to the CCRx registers as follows: on the first update DMA
request, data1 is transferred to CCR2, data2 is transferred to CCR3, data3 is transferred to
CCR4 and on the second update DMA request, data4 is transferred to CCR2, data5 is
transferred to CCR3 and data6 is transferred to CCR4.

13 General-purpose timers (TIM2 to TIM5)

13.1 TIM2 to 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 13.3.15.

13.2 TIM2 to TIM5 main features

General-purpose TIMx timer features include:
• 16-bit (TIM3 and 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 65536.
• 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

13.3 TIM2 to TIM5 functional description

13.3.1 Time-base unit

The main block of the programmable timer is a 16-bit/32-bit counter with its related auto-
reload register. The counter can count up. The counter clock can be divided by a prescaler.
The counter, the auto-reload register and the prescaler register can be written or read by
software. This is true even when the counter is running.
The time-base unit includes:
• Counter Register (TIMx_CNT)
• Prescaler Register (TIMx_PSC):
• Auto-Reload Register (TIMx_ARR)

316/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 General-purpose timers (TIM2 to TIM5)

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 88 and Figure 89 give some examples of the counter behavior when the prescaler
ratio is changed on the fly:

13.3.2 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
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 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.
The following figures show some examples of the counter behavior for different clock
frequencies when TIMx_ARR=0x36.

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 auto-
reload 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").

General-purpose timers (TIM2 to TIM5) RM0383

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
register).
• The auto-reload active register is updated with the preload value (content of the
TIMx_ARR register). Note that if the update source is a counter overflow, the auto-
reload is updated before the counter is reloaded, so that the next period is the expected
one (the counter is loaded with the new value).
The following figures show some examples of the counter behavior for different clock
frequencies.

13.3.3 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) available on TIM2, TIM3 and TIM4
only.
• Internal trigger inputs (ITRx): using one timer as prescaler for another timer, for
example, Timer can be configured to act as a prescaler for Timer 2. Refer to Using one
timer as prescaler for another timer 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 107 shows the behavior of the control circuit and the upcounter in normal mode,
without prescaler.

For example, to configure the upcounter to count in response to a rising edge on the TI2
input, use the following procedure:
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).
Note: The capture prescaler is not used for triggering, so there’s no need to configure it.
3. Select rising edge polarity by writing CC2P=0 and CC2NP=0 in the TIMx_CCER
register.
4. Configure the timer in external clock mode 1 by writing SMS=111 in the TIMx_SMCR
register.
5. Select TI2 as the input source by writing TS=110 in the TIMx_SMCR register.
6. Enable the counter by writing CEN=1 in the TIMx_CR1 register.
When a rising edge occurs on TI2, the counter counts once and the TIF flag is set.
The delay between the rising edge on TI2 and the actual clock of the counter is due to the
resynchronization circuit on TI2 input.

For example, to configure the upcounter to count each 2 rising edges on ETR, use the
following procedure:
1. As no filter is needed in this example, write ETF[3:0]=0000 in the TIMx_SMCR register.
2. Set the prescaler by writing ETPS[1:0]=01 in the TIMx_SMCR register
3. Select rising edge detection on the ETR pin by writing ETP=0 in the TIMx_SMCR

13.3.4 Capture/compare channels

Each Capture/Compare channel (see Figure 112) is built around a capture/compare register
(including a shadow register), an input stage for capture (with digital filter, multiplexing and
prescaler) and an output stage (with comparator and output control).
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.

13.3.5 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 written 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:
• 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.
• Program the needed input filter duration with respect to the signal connected 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 five internal clock cycles. We must program a filter duration longer than these five
clock cycles. We can validate a transition on TI1 when eight consecutive samples with
the new level have been detected (sampled at fDTS frequency). Then write IC1F bits to
0011 in the TIMx_CCMR1 register.
• Select the edge of the active transition on the TI1 channel by writing the CC1P and
CC1NP bits to 00 in the TIMx_CCER register (rising edge in this case).
• 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).
• Enable capture from the counter into the capture register by setting the CC1E bit in the
TIMx_CCER register.
• 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.

13.3.6 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):
• Select the active input for TIMx_CCR1: write the CC1S bits to 01 in the TIMx_CCMR1
register (TI1 selected).
• 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).
• Select the active input for TIMx_CCR2: write the CC2S bits to 10 in the TIMx_CCMR1
register (TI1 selected).
• 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).
• Select the valid trigger input: write the TS bits to 101 in the TIMx_SMCR register
(TI1FP1 selected).
• Configure the slave mode controller in reset mode: write the SMS bits to 100 in the
TIMx_SMCR register.
• Enable the captures: write the CC1E and CC2E bits to ‘1 in the TIMx_CCER register.

13.3.7 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, the user just needs 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.
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.

13.3.8 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, the user 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.

334/844 RM0383 Rev 3

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

13.3.9 PWM mode

Pulse width modulation mode allows generating 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. The user must enable the corresponding preload register by setting
the OCxPE bit in the TIMx_CCMRx register, and eventually the auto-reload preload register
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, the user has 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 ETRF (OCREF can be cleared by an external
event through the ETR signal until the next PWM period), the OCREF signal is asserted
only:
• When the result of the comparison changes, or
• When the output compare mode (OCxM bits in TIMx_CCMRx register) switches from
the “frozen” configuration (no comparison, OCxM=‘000) to one of the PWM modes
(OCxM=‘110 or ‘111).
This forces the PWM by software while the timer is running.

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

336/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 General-purpose timers (TIM2 to TIM5)

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).
Figure 118 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

RM0383 Rev 3 337/844

374
General-purpose timers (TIM2 to TIM5) RM0383

in the TIMx_CR1 register. Moreover, the DIR and CMS bits must not be changed at the
same time by the software.
• Writing to the counter while running in center-aligned mode is not recommended as it
can lead to unexpected results. In particular:
– The direction is not updated if the user writes 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 the user writes 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.

13.3.10 One-pulse mode

One-pulse mode (OPM) is a particular case of the previous modes. It allows the counter to
be started in response to a stimulus and to generate a pulse with a programmable length
after a programmable delay.
Starting the counter can be controlled through the slave mode controller. Generating the
waveform can be done in output compare mode or PWM mode. Select One-pulse mode by
setting the OPM bit in the 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 the user 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.

338/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 General-purpose timers (TIM2 to TIM5)

Let’s use TI2FP2 as trigger 1:

• Map TI2FP2 on TI2 by writing CC2S=01 in the TIMx_CCMR1 register.
• TI2FP2 must detect a rising edge, write CC2P=0 and CC2NP=’0’ in the TIMx_CCER
register.
• Configure TI2FP2 as trigger for the slave mode controller (TRGI) by writing TS=110 in
the TIMx_SMCR register.
• 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_CCR + 1).
• Let us say user wants 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 enable PWM mode 2 by writing OC1M=111 in the
TIMx_CCMR1 register. The user 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 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.
User only wants one pulse (Single mode), so 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.
To output a waveform with the minimum delay, the user can set the OCxFE bit in the
TIMx_CCMRx register. Then OCxRef (and OCx) is forced in response to the stimulus,
without taking in account the comparison. Its new level is the same as if a compare match
had occurred. OCxFE acts only if the channel is configured in PWM1 or PWM2 mode.

13.3.11 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.
This function can only be used in output compare and PWM modes, and does not work in
forced mode.
For example, the ETR 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:

General-purpose timers (TIM2 to TIM5) RM0383

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.
Figure 120 shows the behavior of the OCxREF signal when the ETRF input becomes high,
for both values of the OCxCE enable bit. In this example, the timer TIMx is programmed in
PWM mode.

1. In case of a PWM with a 100% duty cycle (if CCRx>ARR), OCxREF is enabled again at the next counter
overflow.

13.3.12 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, program the input filter as well.
The two inputs TI1 and TI2 are used to interface to an incremental encoder. Refer to
Table 52. 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 the user
must configure TIMx_ARR before starting. In the same way, the capture, compare,
prescaler, trigger output features continue to work as normal.

340/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 General-purpose timers (TIM2 to TIM5)

In this mode, the counter is modified automatically following the speed and the direction of
the incremental encoder and its content, therefore, always represents the encoder’s
position. The count direction correspond to the rotation direction of the connected sensor.
The table summarizes the possible combinations, assuming TI1 and TI2 don’t switch at the
same time.

An external incremental encoder can be connected directly to the MCU without external
interface logic. However, comparators are normally be used to convert the encoder’s
differential outputs to digital signals. This greatly increases noise immunity. The third
encoder output which indicate the mechanical zero position, may be connected to an
external interrupt input and trigger a counter reset.
Figure 121 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, TI2FP2 mapped on TI2)
• CC1P= ‘0’, CC1NP = ‘0’, IC1F =’0000’ (TIMx_CCER register, TI1FP1 noninverted,
TI1FP1=TI1)
• CC2P= ‘0’, CC2NP = ‘0’, IC2F =’0000’ (TIMx_CCER register, TI2FP2 noninverted,
TI2FP2=TI2)
• SMS= ‘011’ (TIMx_SMCR register, both inputs are active on both rising and falling
edges)
• CEN = 1 (TIMx_CR1 register, Counter is enabled)

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

13.3.13 Timer input XOR function

The TI1S bit in the TIM_CR2 register, allows the input filter of channel 1 to be connected to
the output of a XOR gate, combining the three input pins TIMx_CH1 to TIMx_CH3.
The XOR output can be used with all the timer input functions such as trigger or input
capture.

13.3.14 Timers and external trigger synchronization

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

Slave mode: Reset mode

The counter and its prescaler can be reinitialized in response to an event on a trigger input.
Moreover, if the URS bit from the TIMx_CR1 register is low, an update event UEV is
generated. Then all the preloaded registers (TIMx_ARR, TIMx_CCRx) are updated.
In the following example, the upcounter is cleared in response to a rising edge on TI1 input:
• Configure the channel 1 to detect rising edges on TI1. Configure the input filter duration
(in this example, we don’t need any filter, so we keep IC1F=0000). The capture
prescaler is not used for triggering, so the user does not 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).
Figure 123 shows this behavior when the auto-reload register TIMx_ARR=0x36. The delay
between the rising edge on TI1 and the actual reset of the counter is due to the
resynchronization circuit on TI1 input.

General-purpose timers (TIM2 to TIM5) RM0383

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:
• 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 the user does not need to configure it. The
CC1S bits select the input capture source only, CC1S=01 in TIMx_CCMR1 register.
Write CC1P=1 in TIMx_CCER register to validate the polarity (and detect low level
only).
• 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.
• 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.

1. The configuration “CCxP=CCxNP=1” (detection of both rising and falling edges) does not have any effect
in gated mode because gated mode acts on a level and not on an edge.

Slave mode: Trigger mode

The counter can start in response to an event on a selected input.
In the following example, the upcounter starts in response to a rising edge on TI2 input:
• Configure the channel 2 to detect rising edges on TI2. Configure the input filter duration
(in this example, we don’t need any filter, so we keep IC2F=0000). The capture
prescaler is not used for triggering, so the user does not need to configure it. CC2S bits
are selecting the input capture source only, CC2S=01 in TIMx_CCMR1 register. Write
CC2P=1 in TIMx_CCER register to validate the polarity (and detect low level only).
• Configure the timer in trigger mode by writing SMS=110 in TIMx_SMCR register. Select
TI2 as the input source by writing TS=110 in TIMx_SMCR register.

RM0383 General-purpose timers (TIM2 to TIM5)

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

Slave mode: External Clock mode 2 + trigger mode

The external clock mode 2 can be used in addition to another slave mode (except external
clock mode 1 and encoder mode). In this case, the ETR signal is used as external clock
input, and another input can be selected as trigger input when operating in reset mode,
gated mode or trigger mode. It is recommended not to select ETR as TRGI through the TS
bits of TIMx_SMCR register.
In the following example, the upcounter is incremented at each rising edge of the ETR
signal as soon as a rising edge of TI1 occurs:
1. Configure the external trigger input circuit by programming the TIMx_SMCR register as
follows:
– ETF = 0000: no filter
– ETPS = 00: prescaler disabled
– ETP = 0: detection of rising edges on ETR and ECE=1 to enable the external clock
mode 2.
2. Configure the channel 1 as follows, to detect rising edges on TI:
– IC1F = 0000: no filter.
– The capture prescaler is not used for triggering and does not need to be
configured.
– CC1S = 01 in TIMx_CCMR1 register to select only the input capture source
– CC1P = 0 in TIMx_CCER register to validate the polarity (and detect rising edge
only).
3. Configure the timer in trigger mode by writing SMS=110 in TIMx_SMCR register. Select
TI1 as the input source by writing TS=101 in TIMx_SMCR register.
A rising edge on TI1 enables the counter and sets the TIF flag. The counter then counts on
ETR rising edges.
The delay between the rising edge of the ETR signal and the actual reset of the counter is
due to the resynchronization circuit on ETRP input.

13.3.15 Timer synchronization

The TIMx timers are linked together internally for timer synchronization or chaining. When
one Timer is configured in Master Mode, it can reset, start, stop or clock the counter of
another Timer configured in Slave Mode.
Figure 127 presents an overview of the trigger selection and the master mode selection
blocks.
Note: The clock of the slave timer must be enabled prior to receiving events from the master timer,
and must not be changed on-the-fly while triggers are received from the master timer.

RM0383 General-purpose timers (TIM2 to TIM5)

For example, the user can configure Timer 1 to act as a prescaler for Timer 2 (see
Figure 127). To do this:
• Configure Timer 1 in master mode so that it outputs a periodic trigger signal on each
update event UEV. If you write MMS=010 in the TIM1_CR2 register, a rising edge is
output on TRGO1 each time an update event is generated.
• To connect the TRGO1 output of Timer 1 to Timer 2, Timer 2 must be configured in
slave mode using ITR0 as internal trigger. You select this through the TS bits in the
TIM2_SMCR register (writing TS=000).
• Then you put the slave mode controller in external clock mode 1 (write SMS=111 in the
TIM2_SMCR register). This causes Timer 2 to be clocked by the rising edge of the
periodic Timer 1 trigger signal (which correspond to the timer 1 counter overflow).
• Finally both timers must be enabled by setting their respective CEN bits (TIMx_CR1
register).
Note: If OCx is selected on Timer 1 as trigger output (MMS=1xx), its rising edge is used to clock
the counter of timer 2.

Using one timer to enable another timer

In this example, we control the enable of Timer 2 with the output compare 1 of Timer 1.
Refer to Figure 127 for connections. Timer 2 counts on the divided internal clock only when
OC1REF of Timer 1 is high. Both counter clock frequencies are divided by 3 by the
prescaler compared to CK_INT (fCK_CNT = fCK_INT/3).
• Configure Timer 1 master mode to send its Output Compare 1 Reference (OC1REF)
signal as trigger output (MMS=100 in the TIM1_CR2 register).
• Configure the Timer 1 OC1REF waveform (TIM1_CCMR1 register).
• Configure Timer 2 to get the input trigger from Timer 1 (TS=000 in the TIM2_SMCR
register).
• Configure Timer 2 in gated mode (SMS=101 in TIM2_SMCR register).
• Enable Timer 2 by writing ‘1 in the CEN bit (TIM2_CR1 register).
• Start Timer 1 by writing ‘1 in the CEN bit (TIM1_CR1 register).
Note: The counter 2 clock is not synchronized with counter 1, this mode only affects the Timer 2
counter enable signal.

In the example in Figure 128, the Timer 2 counter and prescaler are not initialized before
being started. So they start counting from their current value. It is possible to start from a
given value by resetting both timers before starting Timer 1. You can then write any value

General-purpose timers (TIM2 to TIM5) RM0383

you want in the timer counters. The timers can easily be reset by software using the UG bit
in the TIMx_EGR registers.
In the next example, we synchronize Timer 1 and Timer 2. Timer 1 is the master and starts
from 0. Timer 2 is the slave and starts from 0xE7. The prescaler ratio is the same for both
timers. Timer 2 stops when Timer 1 is disabled by writing ‘0 to the CEN bit in the TIM1_CR1
register:
• Configure Timer 1 master mode to send its Output Compare 1 Reference (OC1REF)
signal as trigger output (MMS=100 in the TIM1_CR2 register).
• Configure the Timer 1 OC1REF waveform (TIM1_CCMR1 register).
• Configure Timer 2 to get the input trigger from Timer 1 (TS=000 in the TIM2_SMCR
register).
• Configure Timer 2 in gated mode (SMS=101 in TIM2_SMCR register).
• Reset Timer 1 by writing ‘1 in UG bit (TIM1_EGR register).
• Reset Timer 2 by writing ‘1 in UG bit (TIM2_EGR register).
• Initialize Timer 2 to 0xE7 by writing ‘0xE7’ in the timer 2 counter (TIM2_CNTL).
• Enable Timer 2 by writing ‘1 in the CEN bit (TIM2_CR1 register).
• Start Timer 1 by writing ‘1 in the CEN bit (TIM1_CR1 register).
• Stop Timer 1 by writing ‘0 in the CEN bit (TIM1_CR1 register).

In this example, we set the enable of Timer 2 with the update event of Timer 1. Refer to
Figure 127 for connections. Timer 2 starts counting from its current value (which can be
nonzero) on the divided internal clock as soon as the update event is generated by Timer 1.
When Timer 2 receives the trigger signal its CEN bit is automatically set and the counter
counts until we write ‘0 to the CEN bit in the TIM2_CR1 register. Both counter clock
frequencies are divided by 3 by the prescaler compared to CK_INT (fCK_CNT = fCK_INT/3).
• Configure Timer 1 master mode to send its Update Event (UEV) as trigger output
(MMS=010 in the TIM1_CR2 register).
• Configure the Timer 1 period (TIM1_ARR registers).
• Configure Timer 2 to get the input trigger from Timer 1 (TS=000 in the TIM2_SMCR
register).
• Configure Timer 2 in trigger mode (SMS=110 in TIM2_SMCR register).

Starting 2 timers synchronously in response to an external trigger

In this example, we set the enable of timer 1 when its TI1 input rises, and the enable of
Timer 2 with the enable of Timer 1. Refer to Figure 127 for connections. To ensure the
counters are aligned, Timer 1 must be configured in Master/Slave mode (slave with respect
to TI1, master with respect to Timer 2):
• Configure Timer 1 master mode to send its Enable as trigger output (MMS=001 in the
TIM1_CR2 register).
• Configure Timer 1 slave mode to get the input trigger from TI1 (TS=100 in the
TIM1_SMCR register).
• Configure Timer 1 in trigger mode (SMS=110 in the TIM1_SMCR register).
• Configure the Timer 1 in Master/Slave mode by writing MSM=1 (TIM1_SMCR register).
• Configure Timer 2 to get the input trigger from Timer 1 (TS=000 in the TIM2_SMCR
register).
• Configure Timer 2 in trigger mode (SMS=110 in the TIM2_SMCR register).
When a rising edge occurs on TI1 (Timer 1), both counters starts counting synchronously on
the internal clock and both TIF flags are set.
Note: In this example both timers are initialized before starting (by setting their respective UG
bits). Both counters starts from 0, but you can easily insert an offset between them by
writing any of the counter registers (TIMx_CNT). You can see that the master/slave mode
insert a delay between CNT_EN and CK_PSC on timer 1.

Refer to Section 2.2 for a list of abbreviations used in register descriptions.
The 32-bit peripheral registers have to be written by words (32 bits). All other peripheral
registers have to be written by half-words (16 bits) or words (32 bits). Read accesses can be
done by bytes (8 bits), half-words (16 bits) or words (32 bits).

Bits 9:8 CKD: Clock division
This bit-field indicates the division ratio between the timer clock (CK_INT) frequency and
sampling clock used by the digital filters (ETR, TIx),
00: tDTS = tCK_INT
01: tDTS = 2 × tCK_INT
10: tDTS = 4 × tCK_INT
11: Reserved
Bit 7 ARPE: Auto-reload preload enable
0: TIMx_ARR register is not buffered
1: TIMx_ARR register is buffered
Bits 6:5 CMS: Center-aligned mode selection
00: Edge-aligned mode. The counter counts up or down depending on the direction bit
(DIR).
01: Center-aligned mode 1. The counter counts up and down alternatively. Output compare
interrupt flags of channels configured in output (CCxS=00 in TIMx_CCMRx register) are set
only when the counter is counting down.
10: Center-aligned mode 2. The counter counts up and down alternatively. Output compare
interrupt flags of channels configured in output (CCxS=00 in TIMx_CCMRx register) are set
only when the counter is counting up.
11: Center-aligned mode 3. The counter counts up and down alternatively. Output compare
interrupt flags of channels configured in output (CCxS=00 in TIMx_CCMRx register) are set
both when the counter is counting up or down.
Note: It is not allowed to switch from edge-aligned mode to center-aligned mode as long as
the counter is enabled (CEN=1)
Bit 4 DIR: Direction
0: Counter used as upcounter
1: Counter used as downcounter
Note: This bit is read only when the timer is configured in Center-aligned mode or Encoder
mode.
Bit 3 OPM: One-pulse mode
0: Counter is not stopped at update event
1: Counter stops counting at the next update event (clearing the bit CEN)

Bit 2 URS: Update request source

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

Bits 15:8 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.

Bit 7 TI1S: TI1 selection
0: The TIMx_CH1 pin is connected to TI1 input
1: The TIMx_CH1, CH2 and CH3 pins are connected to the TI1 input (XOR combination)
Bits 6:4 MMS[2:0]: Master mode selection
These bits allow to select the information to be sent in master mode to slave timers for
synchronization (TRGO). The combination is as follows:
000: Reset - the UG bit from the TIMx_EGR register is used as trigger output (TRGO). If the
reset is generated by the trigger input (slave mode controller configured in reset mode) then
the signal on TRGO is delayed compared to the actual reset.
001: Enable - the Counter enable signal, CNT_EN, is used as trigger output (TRGO). It is
useful to start several timers at the same time or to control a window in which a slave timer is
enabled. The Counter Enable signal is generated by a logic OR between CEN control bit
and the trigger input when configured in gated mode.
When the Counter Enable signal is controlled by the trigger input, there is a delay on TRGO,
except if the master/slave mode is selected (see the MSM bit description in TIMx_SMCR
register).
010: Update - The update event is selected as trigger output (TRGO). For instance a master
timer can then be used as a prescaler for a slave timer.
011: Compare Pulse - The trigger output send a positive pulse when the CC1IF flag is to be
set (even if it was already high), as soon as a capture or a compare match occurred.
(TRGO)
100: Compare - OC1REF signal is used as trigger output (TRGO)
101: Compare - OC2REF signal is used as trigger output (TRGO)
110: Compare - OC3REF signal is used as trigger output (TRGO)
111: Compare - OC4REF signal is used as trigger output (TRGO)
Note: The clock of the slave timer and ADC must be enabled prior to receiving events from
the master timer, and must not be changed on-the-fly while triggers are received from
the master timer.
Bit 3 CCDS: Capture/compare DMA selection
0: CCx DMA request sent when CCx event occurs
1: CCx DMA requests sent when update event occurs
Bits 2:0 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.

rw rw rw rw rw rw rw rw rw rw rw rw rw rw rw

Bit 15 ETP: External trigger polarity

This bit selects whether ETR or ETR is used for trigger operations
0: ETR is noninverted, active at high level or rising edge
1: ETR is inverted, active at low level or falling edge
Bit 14 ECE: External clock enable
This bit enables External clock mode 2.
0: External clock mode 2 disabled
1: External clock mode 2 enabled. The counter is clocked by any active edge on the ETRF
signal.
1: Setting the ECE bit has the same effect as selecting external clock mode 1 with TRGI
connected to ETRF (SMS=111 and TS=111).
2: It is possible to simultaneously use external clock mode 2 with the following slave modes:
reset mode, gated mode and trigger mode. Nevertheless, TRGI must not be connected to
ETRF in this case (TS bits must not be 111).
3: If external clock mode 1 and external clock mode 2 are enabled at the same time, the
external clock input is ETRF.
Bits 13:12 ETPS: External trigger prescaler
External trigger signal ETRP frequency must be at most 1/4 of CK_INT frequency. A
prescaler can be enabled to reduce ETRP frequency. It is useful when inputting fast external
clocks.
00: Prescaler OFF
01: ETRP frequency divided by 2
10: ETRP frequency divided by 4
11: ETRP frequency divided by 8
Bits 11:8 ETF[3:0]: External trigger filter
This bit-field then defines the frequency used to sample ETRP signal and the length of the
digital filter applied to ETRP. The digital filter is made of an event counter in which N
consecutive events are needed to validate a transition on the output:
0000: No filter, sampling is done at fDTS
0001: fSAMPLING=fCK_INT, N=2
0010: fSAMPLING=fCK_INT, N=4
0011: fSAMPLING=fCK_INT, N=8

Bit 7 MSM: Master/Slave mode

0: No action
1: The effect of an event on the trigger input (TRGI) is delayed to allow a perfect
synchronization between the current timer and its slaves (through TRGO). It is useful if we
want to synchronize several timers on a single external event.
Bits 6:4 TS: Trigger selection
This bit-field selects the trigger input to be used to synchronize the counter.
000: Internal Trigger 0 (ITR0).
001: Internal Trigger 1 (ITR1).
010: Internal Trigger 2 (ITR2).
011: Internal Trigger 3 (ITR3).
100: TI1 Edge Detector (TI1F_ED)
101: Filtered Timer Input 1 (TI1FP1)
110: Filtered Timer Input 2 (TI2FP2)
111: External Trigger input (ETRF)
See Table 53: TIMx internal trigger connection on page 357 for more details on ITRx
meaning for each Timer.
Note: These bits must be changed only when they are not used (e.g. when SMS=000) to
avoid wrong edge detections at the transition.
Bit 3 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bits 2:0 SMS: Slave mode selection
When external signals are selected the active edge of the trigger signal (TRGI) is linked to
the polarity selected on the external input (see Input Control register and Control Register
description.
000: Slave mode disabled - if CEN = ‘1 then the prescaler is clocked directly by the internal
clock.
001: Encoder mode 1 - Counter counts up/down on TI2FP1 edge depending on TI1FP2
level.
010: Encoder mode 2 - Counter counts up/down on TI1FP2 edge depending on TI2FP1
level.
011: Encoder mode 3 - Counter counts up/down on both TI1FP1 and TI2FP2 edges
depending on the level of the other input.
100: Reset Mode - Rising edge of the selected trigger input (TRGI) reinitializes the counter
and generates an update of the registers.
101: Gated Mode - The counter clock is enabled when the trigger input (TRGI) is high. The
counter stops (but is not reset) as soon as the trigger becomes low. Both start and stop of
the counter are controlled.
110: Trigger Mode - The counter starts at a rising edge of the trigger TRGI (but it is not
reset). Only the start of the counter is controlled.
111: External Clock Mode 1 - Rising edges of the selected trigger (TRGI) clock the counter.
Note: The gated mode must not be used if TI1F_ED is selected as the trigger input (TS=100).
Indeed, TI1F_ED outputs 1 pulse for each transition on TI1F, whereas the gated mode
checks the level of the trigger signal.
The clock of the slave timer must be enabled prior to receiving events from the master
timer, and must not be changed on-the-fly while triggers are received from the master
timer.

Bits 6:4 OC1M: Output compare 1 mode

These bits define the behavior of the output reference signal OC1REF from which OC1 and
OC1N are derived. OC1REF is active high whereas OC1 and OC1N active level depends
on CC1P and CC1NP bits.
000: Frozen - The comparison between the output compare register TIMx_CCR1 and the
counter TIMx_CNT has no effect on the outputs.(this mode is used to generate a timing
base).
001: Set channel 1 to active level on match. OC1REF signal is forced high when the counter
TIMx_CNT matches the capture/compare register 1 (TIMx_CCR1).
010: Set channel 1 to inactive level on match. OC1REF signal is forced low when the
counter TIMx_CNT matches the capture/compare register 1 (TIMx_CCR1).
011: Toggle - OC1REF toggles when TIMx_CNT=TIMx_CCR1.
100: Force inactive level - OC1REF is forced low.
101: Force active level - OC1REF is forced high.
110: PWM mode 1 - In upcounting, channel 1 is active as long as TIMx_CNT<TIMx_CCR1
else inactive. In downcounting, channel 1 is inactive (OC1REF=‘0) as long as
TIMx_CNT>TIMx_CCR1 else active (OC1REF=1).
111: PWM mode 2 - In upcounting, channel 1 is inactive as long as TIMx_CNT<TIMx_CCR1
else active. In downcounting, channel 1 is active as long as TIMx_CNT>TIMx_CCR1 else
inactive.
Note: In PWM mode 1 or 2, the OCREF level changes only when the result of the
comparison changes or when the output compare mode switches from “frozen” mode
to “PWM” mode.
Bit 3 OC1PE: Output compare 1 preload enable
0: Preload register on TIMx_CCR1 disabled. TIMx_CCR1 can be written at anytime, the
new value is taken in account immediately.
1: Preload register on TIMx_CCR1 enabled. Read/Write operations access the preload
register. TIMx_CCR1 preload value is loaded in the active register at each update event.
Note: 1: These bits can not be modified as long as LOCK level 3 has been programmed
(LOCK bits in TIMx_BDTR register) and CC1S=00 (the channel is configured in
output).
2: The PWM mode can be used without validating the preload register only in one-
pulse mode (OPM bit set in TIMx_CR1 register). Else the behavior is not guaranteed.
Bit 2 OC1FE: Output compare 1 fast enable
This bit is used to accelerate the effect of an event on the trigger in input on the CC output.
0: CC1 behaves normally depending on counter and CCR1 values even when the trigger is
ON. The minimum delay to activate CC1 output when an edge occurs on the trigger input is
5 clock cycles.
1: An active edge on the trigger input acts like a compare match on CC1 output. Then, OC
is set to the compare level independently from the result of the comparison. Delay to
sample the trigger input and to activate CC1 output is reduced to 3 clock cycles. OCFE acts
only if the channel is configured in PWM1 or PWM2 mode.
Bits 1:0 CC1S: Capture/Compare 1 selection
This bit-field defines the direction of the channel (input/output) as well as the used input.
00: CC1 channel is configured as output.
01: CC1 channel is configured as input, IC1 is mapped on TI1.
10: CC1 channel is configured as input, IC1 is mapped on TI2.
11: CC1 channel is configured as input, IC1 is mapped on TRC. This mode is working only if
an internal trigger input is selected through TS bit (TIMx_SMCR register)
Note: CC1S bits are writable only when the channel is OFF (CC1E = 0 in TIMx_CCER).

Bits 15:0 DMAB[15:0]: DMA register for burst accesses

A read or write operation to the DMAR register accesses the register located at the address
(TIMx_CR1 address) + (DBA + DMA index) x 4
where TIMx_CR1 address is the address of the control register 1, DBA is the DMA base
address configured in TIMx_DCR register, DMA index is automatically controlled by the
DMA transfer, and ranges from 0 to DBL (DBL configured in TIMx_DCR).

Example of how to use the DMA burst feature

In this example the timer DMA burst feature is used to update the contents of the CCRx
registers (x = 2, 3, 4) with the DMA transferring half words into the CCRx registers.
This is done in the following steps:
1. Configure the corresponding DMA channel as follows:
– DMA channel peripheral address is the DMAR register address
– DMA channel memory address is the address of the buffer in the RAM containing
the data to be transferred by DMA into CCRx registers.
– Number of data to transfer = 3 (See note below).
– Circular mode disabled.
2. Configure the DCR register by configuring the DBA and DBL bit fields as follows:
DBL = 3 transfers, DBA = 0xE.
3. Enable the TIMx update DMA request (set the UDE bit in the DIER register).
4. Enable TIMx
5. Enable the DMA channel
Note: This example is for the case where every CCRx register to be updated once. If every CCRx
register is to be updated twice for example, the number of data to transfer should be 6. Let's
take the example of a buffer in the RAM containing data1, data2, data3, data4, data5 and
data6. The data is transferred to the CCRx registers as follows: on the first update DMA
request, data1 is transferred to CCR2, data2 is transferred to CCR3, data3 is transferred to
CCR4 and on the second update DMA request, data4 is transferred to CCR2, data5 is
transferred to CCR3 and data6 is transferred to CCR4.

TIM8 is not available in STM32F411xC/E.

14.1 TIM9/10/11 introduction

The TIM9/10/11 general-purpose timers consist of a 16-bit auto-reload counter driven by a
programmable prescaler.
They may be used for a variety of purposes, including measuring the pulse lengths of input
signals (input capture) or generating output waveforms (output compare, PWM).
Pulse lengths and waveform periods can be modulated from a few microseconds to several
milliseconds using the timer prescaler and the RCC clock controller prescalers.
The TIM9/10/11 timers are completely independent, and do not share any resources. They
can be synchronized together as described in Section 14.3.12.

14.2 TIM9/10/11 main features

14.2.1 TIM9 main features

The features of the TIM9 general-purpose timer 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)

14.3 TIM9 to TIM11 functional description

14.3.1 Time-base unit

The main block of the timer is a 16-bit 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 135 and Figure 136 give some examples of the counter behavior when the prescaler
ratio is changed on the fly.

14.3.2 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 ) 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.

14.3.3 Clock selection

The counter clock can be provided by the following clock sources:
• Internal clock (CK_INT)
• External clock mode1 (for TIM9): external input pin (TIx)
• Internal trigger inputs (ITRx) (for TIM9): connecting the trigger output from another
timer. Refer to 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.
For TIM9, 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 143 shows the behavior of the control circuit and of the upcounter in normal mode,
without prescaler.

For example, to configure the upcounter to count in response to a rising edge on the TI2
input, use the following procedure:
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.
Note: The capture prescaler is not used for triggering, so no 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.

14.3.4 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 146 to Figure 148 give an overview of a 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.

14.3.5 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

386/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 General-purpose timers (TIM9 to TIM11)

cleared by software by writing it to ‘0’ or by reading the captured data stored in the
TIMx_CCRx register. CCxOF is cleared when the user writes 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 read-
only.
2. Program the needed input filter duration with respect to the signal connected 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
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.

14.3.6 PWM input mode (only for TIM9)

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): 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.

14.3.7 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, the user just needs to
write ‘101’ in the OCxM bits in the corresponding TIMx_CCMRx register. Thus OCXREF is
forced high (OCxREF is always active high) and OCx get opposite value to CCxP polarity
bit.
For example: CCxP=’0’ (OCx active high) => OCx is forced to high level.
The OCxREF signal can be forced low by writing the OCxM bits to ‘100’ in the
TIMx_CCMRx register.
Anyway, the comparison between the TIMx_CCRx shadow register and the counter is still
performed and allows the flag to be set. Interrupt requests can be sent accordingly. This is
described in the output compare mode section below.

14.3.8 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=’000’), be set
active (OCxM=’001’), be set inactive (OCxM=’010’) or can toggle (OCxM=’011’) on
match.
2. Sets a flag in the interrupt status register (CCxIF bit in the TIMx_SR register).
3. Generates an interrupt if the corresponding interrupt mask is set (CCXIE bit in the
TIMx_DIER register).
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:
– Write OCxM = ‘011’ to toggle OCx output pin when CNT matches CCRx
– Write OCxPE = ‘0’ to disable preload register
– Write CCxP = ‘0’ to select active high polarity
– Write CCxE = ‘1’ to enable the output
5. Enable the counter by setting the CEN bit in the TIMx_CR1 register.

General-purpose timers (TIM9 to TIM11) RM0383

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 150.

14.3.9 PWM mode

Pulse Width Modulation mode allows the user 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. Enable the corresponding preload register by setting the OCxPE bit
in the TIMx_CCMRx register, and eventually the auto-reload preload register 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, the user has to initialize all the registers by setting the
UG bit in the TIMx_EGR register.
The OCx polarity is software programmable using the CCxP bit in the TIMx_CCER register.
It can be programmed as active high or active low. The OCx output is enabled by the CCxE
bit in the TIMx_CCER register. Refer to the TIMx_CCERx register description for more
details.
In PWM mode (1 or 2), TIMx_CNT and TIMx_CCRx are always compared to determine
whether TIMx_CNT ≤TIMx_CCRx.
The timer is able to generate PWM in edge-aligned mode only since the counter is
upcounting.

PWM edge-aligned mode

In the following example, we consider PWM mode 1. The reference PWM signal OCxREF is
high as long as TIMx_CNT < TIMx_CCRx else it becomes low. If the compare value in

390/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 General-purpose timers (TIM9 to TIM11)

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 151 shows some edge-
aligned PWM waveforms in an example where TIMx_ARR=8.

14.3.10 One-pulse mode

One-pulse mode (OPM) is a particular case of the previous modes. It allows the counter to
be started in response to a stimulus and to generate a pulse with a programmable length
after a programmable delay.
Starting the counter can be controlled through the slave mode controller. Generating the
waveform can be done in output compare mode or PWM mode. Select One-pulse mode by
setting the OPM bit in the 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 the user may want to generate a positive pulse on OC1 with a length of tPULSE
and after a delay of tDELAY as soon as a positive edge is detected on the TI2 input pin.
Use TI2FP2 as trigger 1:
1. Map TI2FP2 to TI2 by writing CC2S=’01’ in the TIMx_CCMR1 register.
2. TI2FP2 must detect a rising edge, write CC2P=’0’ and CC2NP = ‘0’ in the TIMx_CCER
register.
3. Configure TI2FP2 as trigger for the slave mode controller (TRGI) by writing TS=’110’ in
the TIMx_SMCR register.
4. TI2FP2 is used to start the counter by writing SMS to ‘110’ in the TIMx_SMCR register
(trigger mode).
The OPM waveform is defined by writing the compare registers (taking into account the
clock frequency and the counter prescaler).
• The tDELAY is defined by the value written in the TIMx_CCR1 register.
• The tPULSE is defined by the difference between the auto-reload value and the compare
value (TIMx_ARR - TIMx_CCR1).
• Let us say the user wants 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 enable PWM mode 2 by writing OC1M=’111’ in the
TIMx_CCMR1 register. The user 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 the user has 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.
The user only wants one pulse (Single mode), so 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.

392/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 General-purpose timers (TIM9 to TIM11)

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 the user wants to output a waveform with the minimum delay, 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.

14.3.11 TIM9 external trigger synchronization

The TIM9 timer can be synchronized with an external trigger in several modes: Reset mode,
Gated mode and Trigger mode.

Slave mode: Reset mode

The counter and its prescaler can be reinitialized in response to an event on a trigger input.
Moreover, if the URS bit from the TIMx_CR1 register is low, an update event UEV is
generated. Then all the preloaded registers (TIMx_ARR, TIMx_CCRx) are updated.
In the following example, the upcounter is cleared in response to a rising edge on TI1 input:
1. Configure the channel 1 to detect rising edges on TI1. Configure the input filter duration
(in this example, we don’t need any filter, so we keep IC1F=’0000’). The capture
prescaler is not used for triggering, so there’s no 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
resynchronization circuit on TI1 input.

Slave mode: Gated mode

The counter can be enabled depending on the level of a selected input.
In the following example, the upcounter counts only when TI1 input is low:
1. Configure the channel 1 to detect low levels on TI1. Configure the input filter duration
(in this example, we don’t need any filter, so we keep IC1F=’0000’). The capture
prescaler is not used for triggering, so there’s no 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.

The counter can start in response to an event on a selected input.
In the following example, the upcounter starts in response to a rising edge on TI2 input:
1. Configure the channel 2 to detect rising edges on TI2. Configure the input filter duration
(in this example, we don’t need any filter, so we keep IC2F=’0000’). The capture
prescaler is not used for triggering, so there’s no need to configure it. The CC2S bits
are configured to select the input capture source only, CC2S=’01’ in TIMx_CCMR1

2. Configure the timer in trigger mode by writing SMS=’110’ in TIMx_SMCR register.
Select TI2 as the input source by writing TS=’110’ in TIMx_SMCR register.
When a rising edge occurs on TI2, the counter starts counting on the internal clock and the
TIF flag is set.
The delay between the rising edge on TI2 and the actual start of the counter is due to the
resynchronization circuit on TI2 input.

14.4.6 TIM9 capture/compare mode register 1 (TIMx_CCMR1)

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

Bit 11 OC2PE: Output compare 2 preload enable
Bit 10 OC2FE: Output compare 2 fast enable
Bits 9:8 CC2S[1:0]: Capture/Compare 2 selection
This bitfield defines the direction of the channel (input/output) as well as the used input.
00: CC2 channel is configured as output
01: CC2 channel is configured as input, IC2 is mapped on TI2
10: CC2 channel is configured as input, IC2 is mapped on TI1
11: CC2 channel is configured as input, IC2 is mapped on TRC. This mode works only if an
internal trigger input is selected through the TS bit (TIMx_SMCR register
Note: The CC2S bits are writable only when the channel is OFF (CC2E = 0 in TIMx_CCER).
Bits 6:4 OC1M: Output compare 1 mode
These bits define the behavior of the output reference signal OC1REF from which OC1 and
OC1N are derived. OC1REF is active high whereas the active levels of OC1 and OC1N
depend on the CC1P and CC1NP bits, respectively.
000: Frozen - The comparison between the output compare register TIMx_CCR1 and the
counter TIMx_CNT has no effect on the outputs.(this mode is used to generate a timing
base).
001: Set channel 1 to active level on match. The OC1REF signal is forced high when the
TIMx_CNT counter matches the capture/compare register 1 (TIMx_CCR1).
010: Set channel 1 to inactive level on match. The OC1REF signal is forced low when the
TIMx_CNT counter matches the capture/compare register 1 (TIMx_CCR1).
011: Toggle - OC1REF toggles when TIMx_CNT=TIMx_CCR1
100: Force inactive level - OC1REF is forced low
101: Force active level - OC1REF is forced high
110: PWM mode 1 - In upcounting, channel 1 is active as long as TIMx_CNT<TIMx_CCR1
else it is inactive. In downcounting, channel 1 is inactive (OC1REF=‘0) as long as
TIMx_CNT>TIMx_CCR1, else it is active (OC1REF=’1’)
111: PWM mode 2 - In upcounting, channel 1 is inactive as long as TIMx_CNT<TIMx_CCR1
else it is active. In downcounting, channel 1 is active as long as TIMx_CNT>TIMx_CCR1
else it is inactive.
Note: In PWM mode 1 or 2, the OCREF level changes only when the result of the
comparison changes or when the output compare mode switches from “frozen” mode
to “PWM” mode.

Bit 3 OC1PE: Output compare 1 preload enable

0: Preload register on TIMx_CCR1 disabled. TIMx_CCR1 can be written at anytime, the
new value is taken into account immediately
1: Preload register on TIMx_CCR1 enabled. Read/Write operations access the preload
register. TIMx_CCR1 preload value is loaded into the active register at each update event
Note: The PWM mode can be used without validating the preload register only in one-pulse
mode (OPM bit set in the TIMx_CR1 register). Else the behavior is not guaranteed.
Bit 2 OC1FE: Output compare 1 fast enable
This bit is used to accelerate the effect of an event on the trigger in input on the CC output.
0: CC1 behaves normally depending on the counter and CCR1 values even when the
trigger is ON. The minimum delay to activate the CC1 output when an edge occurs on the
trigger input is 5 clock cycles
1: An active edge on the trigger input acts like a compare match on the CC1 output. Then,
OC is set to the compare level independently of the result of the comparison. Delay to
sample the trigger input and to activate CC1 output is reduced to 3 clock cycles. OC1FE
acts only if the channel is configured in PWM1 or PWM2 mode.
Bits 1:0 CC1S: Capture/Compare 1 selection
This bitfield defines the direction of the channel (input/output) as well as the used input.

CC1IF flag is set, Corresponding interrupt or is sent if enabled.
If channel CC1 is configured as input:
The current value of the counter is captured in TIMx_CCR1 register. The CC1IF flag is set,
the corresponding interrupt is sent if enabled. The CC1OF flag is set if the CC1IF flag was
already high.
Bit 0 UG: Update generation
This bit can be set by software, it is automatically cleared by hardware.
0: No action
1: Re-initialize the counter and generates an update of the registers. Note that the prescaler
counter is cleared too (anyway the prescaler ratio is not affected). The counter is cleared.

14.5.5 TIM10/11 capture/compare mode register 1 (TIMx_CCMR1)

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

Output compare mode

Bits 15:7 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.

Bits 6:4 OC1M: Output compare 1 mode
These bits define the behavior of the output reference signal OC1REF from which OC1 is
derived. OC1REF is active high whereas OC1 active level depends on CC1P bit.
000: Frozen. The comparison between the output compare register TIMx_CCR1 and the
counter TIMx_CNT has no effect on the outputs.
001: Set channel 1 to active level on match. OC1REF signal is forced high when the counter
TIMx_CNT matches the capture/compare register 1 (TIMx_CCR1).
010: Set channel 1 to inactive level on match. OC1REF signal is forced low when the
counter TIMx_CNT matches the capture/compare register 1 (TIMx_CCR1).
011: Toggle - OC1REF toggles when TIMx_CNT = TIMx_CCR1.
100: Force inactive level - OC1REF is forced low.
101: Force active level - OC1REF is forced high.
110: PWM mode 1 - Channel 1 is active as long as TIMx_CNT < TIMx_CCR1 else inactive.
111: PWM mode 2 - Channel 1 is inactive as long as TIMx_CNT < TIMx_CCR1 else active.
Note: In PWM mode 1 or 2, the OCREF level changes when the result of the comparison
changes or when the output compare mode switches from frozen to PWM mode.
Bit 3 OC1PE: Output compare 1 preload enable
0: Preload register on TIMx_CCR1 disabled. TIMx_CCR1 can be written at anytime, the
new value is taken in account immediately.
1: Preload register on TIMx_CCR1 enabled. Read/Write operations access the preload
register. TIMx_CCR1 preload value is loaded in the active register at each update event.
Note: The PWM mode can be used without validating the preload register only in one pulse
mode (OPM bit set in TIMx_CR1 register). Else the behavior is not guaranteed.
Bit 2 OC1FE: Output compare 1 fast enable
This bit is used to accelerate the effect of an event on the trigger in input on the CC output.
0: CC1 behaves normally depending on counter and CCR1 values even when the trigger is
ON. The minimum delay to activate CC1 output when an edge occurs on the trigger input is
5 clock cycles.
1: An active edge on the trigger input acts like a compare match on CC1 output. OC is then
set to the compare level independently of the result of the comparison. Delay to sample the
trigger input and to activate CC1 output is reduced to 3 clock cycles. OC1FE acts only if the
channel is configured in PWM1 or PWM2 mode.

15 Independent watchdog (IWDG)

15.1 IWDG introduction

The devices have two embedded watchdog peripherals which offer a combination of high
safety level, timing accuracy and flexibility of use. Both watchdog peripherals (Independent
and Window) serve to detect and resolve malfunctions due to software failure, and to trigger
system reset or an interrupt (window watchdog only) when the counter reaches a given
timeout value.
The independent watchdog (IWDG) is clocked by its own dedicated low-speed clock (LSI)
and thus stays active even if the main clock fails. The window watchdog (WWDG) clock is
prescaled from the APB1 clock and has a configurable time-window that can be
programmed to detect abnormally late or early application behavior.
The IWDG is best suited to applications which require the watchdog to run as a totally
independent process outside the main application, but have lower timing accuracy
constraints. The WWDG is best suited to applications which require the watchdog to react
within an accurate timing window. For further information on the window watchdog, refer to
Section 16 on page 426.

15.2 IWDG main features

• Free-running downcounter
• clocked from an independent RC oscillator (can operate in Standby and Stop modes)
• Reset (if watchdog activated) when the downcounter value of 0x000 is reached

15.3 IWDG functional description

Figure 156 shows the functional blocks of the independent watchdog module.
When the independent watchdog is started by writing the value 0xCCCC in the Key register
(IWDG_KR), the counter starts counting down from the reset value of 0xFFF. When it
reaches the end of count value (0x000) a reset signal is generated (IWDG reset).
Whenever the key value 0xAAAA is written in the IWDG_KR register, the IWDG_RLR value
is reloaded in the counter and the watchdog reset is prevented.

15.3.1 Hardware watchdog

If the “Hardware watchdog” feature is enabled through the device option bits, the watchdog
is automatically enabled at power-on, and will generate a reset unless the Key register is
written by the software before the counter reaches end of count.

15.3.2 Register access protection

Write access to the IWDG_PR and IWDG_RLR registers is protected. To modify them, first
write the code 0x5555 in the IWDG_KR register. A write access to this register with a
different value will break the sequence and register access will be protected again. This
implies that it is the case of the reload operation (writing 0xAAAA).

RM0383 Rev 3 421/844

425
Independent watchdog (IWDG) RM0383

A status register is available to indicate that an update of the prescaler or the down-counter
reload value is on going.

15.3.3 Debug mode

When the microcontroller enters debug mode (Cortex®-M4 with FPU core halted), the IWDG
counter either continues to work normally or stops, depending on DBG_IWDG_STOP
configuration bit in DBG module. For more details, refer to Section 23.16.2: Debug support
for timers, watchdog and I2C.

This bit is set by hardware to indicate that an update of the reload value is ongoing. It is reset
by hardware when the reload value update operation is completed in the VDD voltage domain
(takes up to 5 RC 40 kHz cycles).
Reload value can be updated only when RVU bit is reset.
Bit 0 PVU: Watchdog prescaler value update
This bit is set by hardware to indicate that an update of the prescaler value is ongoing. It is
reset by hardware when the prescaler update operation is completed in the VDD voltage
domain (takes up to 5 RC 40 kHz cycles).
Prescaler value can be updated only when PVU bit is reset.

Note: If several reload values or prescaler values are used by application, it is mandatory to wait
until RVU bit is reset before changing the reload value and to wait until PVU bit is reset
before changing the prescaler value. However, after updating the prescaler and/or the
reload value it is not necessary to wait until RVU or PVU is reset before continuing code
execution (even in case of low-power mode entry, the write operation is taken into account
and will complete)

The window watchdog is used to detect the occurrence of a software fault, usually
generated by external interference or by unforeseen logical conditions, which causes the
application program to abandon its normal sequence. The watchdog circuit generates an
MCU reset on expiry of a programmed time period, unless the program refreshes the
contents of the downcounter before the T6 bit becomes cleared. An MCU reset is also
generated if the 7-bit downcounter value (in the control register) is refreshed before the
downcounter has reached the window register value. This implies that the counter must be
refreshed in a limited window.

16.2 WWDG main features

• Programmable free-running downcounter
• Conditional reset
– Reset (if watchdog activated) when the downcounter value becomes less than
0x40
– Reset (if watchdog activated) if the downcounter is reloaded outside the window
(see Figure 158)
• Early wakeup interrupt (EWI): triggered (if enabled and the watchdog activated) when
the downcounter is equal to 0x40.

16.3 WWDG functional description

If the watchdog is activated (the WDGA bit is set in the WWDG_CR register) and when the
7-bit downcounter (T[6:0] bits) rolls over from 0x40 to 0x3F (T6 becomes cleared), it initiates
a reset. If the software reloads the counter while the counter is greater than the value stored
in the window register, then a reset is generated.

The application program must write in the WWDG_CR register at regular intervals during
normal operation to prevent an MCU reset. This operation must occur only when the counter
value is lower than the window register value. The value to be stored in the WWDG_CR
register must be between 0xFF and 0xC0.

Enabling the watchdog

The watchdog is always disabled after a reset. It is enabled by setting the WDGA bit in the
WWDG_CR register, then it cannot be disabled again except by a reset.

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 158). 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 158 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).

Advanced watchdog interrupt feature

The Early Wakeup Interrupt (EWI) can be used if specific safety operations or data logging
must be performed before the actual reset is generated. The EWI interrupt is enabled by
setting the EWI bit in the WWDG_CFR register. When the downcounter reaches the value
0x40, an EWI interrupt is generated and the corresponding interrupt service routine (ISR)
can be used to trigger specific actions (such as communications or data logging), before
resetting the device.

RM0383 Rev 3 427/844

Window watchdog (WWDG) RM0383

In some applications, the EWI interrupt can be used to manage a software system check
and/or system recovery/graceful degradation, without generating a WWDG reset. In this
case, the corresponding interrupt service routine (ISR) should reload the WWDG counter to
avoid the WWDG reset, then trigger the required actions.
The EWI interrupt is cleared by writing '0' to the EWIF bit in the WWDG_SR register.
Note: When the EWI interrupt cannot be served, e.g. due to a system lock in a higher priority task,
the WWDG reset will eventually be generated.

16.4 How to program the watchdog timeout

Warning: When writing to the WWDG_CR register, always write 1 in the

T6 bit to avoid generating an immediate reset.

t WWDG = t PCLK1 × 4096 × 2 × ( T[5:0] + 1 ) ( ms )

where:

tPCLK1: APB1 clock period measured in ms
4096: value corresponding to internal divider

428/844 RM0383 Rev 3

As an example, let us assume APB1 frequency is equal to 24 MHz, WDGTB[1:0] is set to 3

and T[5:0] is set to 63:
3
t WWDG = 1 ⁄ 24000 × 4096 × 2 × ( 63 + 1 ) = 21.85ms

Refer to Table 63 for the minimum and maximum values of the tWWDG.

16.5 Debug mode

When the microcontroller enters debug mode (Cortex®-M4 with FPU core halted), the
WWDG counter either continues to work normally or stops, depending on
DBG_WWDG_STOP configuration bit in DBG module. For more details, refer to

17 Real-time clock (RTC)

17.1 Introduction
The real-time clock (RTC) is an independent BCD timer/counter. The RTC provides a time-
of-day clock/calendar, two programmable alarm interrupts, and a periodic programmable
wakeup flag with interrupt capability. The RTC also includes an automatic wakeup unit to
manage low-power modes.
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).

17.2 RTC main features

The RTC unit main features are the following (see Figure 159: 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.
• Two programmable alarms with interrupt function. The alarms 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.
• Maskable interrupts/events:
– Alarm A
– Alarm B
– Wakeup interrupt
– Timestamp
– Tamper detection
• Digital calibration circuit (periodic counter correction)
– 5 ppm accuracy
– 0.95 ppm accuracy, obtained in a calibration window of several seconds
• Timestamp function for event saving (1 event)
• Tamper detection:
– Tamper event with configurable filter and internal pull-up.
• 20 backup registers (80 bytes). The backup registers are reset when a tamper
detection event occurs.
• Alternate function output (RTC_OUT) which selects one of the following two outputs:
– RTC_CALIB: 512 Hz or 1 Hz clock output (with an LSE frequency of 32.768 kHz).
This output is enabled by setting the COE bit in the RTC_CR register. It is routed
to the device RTC_AF1 function.
– RTC_ALARM (Alarm A, Alarm B or wakeup).
This output is selected by configuring the OSEL[1:0] bits in the RTC_CR register.
It is routed to the device RTC_AF1 function.
• RTC additional function inputs:
– RTC_TS: timestamp event detection. It is routed to the device RTC_AF1 function.
– RTC_TAMP1: TAMPER1 event detection. It is routed to the device RTC_AF1
function.
– RTC_REFIN: reference clock input (usually the mains, 50 or 60 Hz).
Refer to Section 8.3.15: Selection of RTC functions and the STM32F411xx datasheet pin
definition table.

17.3 RTC functional description

17.3.1 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 6: Reset and clock control (RCC) for
STM32F411xC/ESTM32F411xC/E.
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 159: RTC block diagram):
• 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.
Note: When both prescalers are used, it is recommended to configure the asynchronous prescaler
to a high value to minimize consumption.
The asynchronous prescaler division factor is set to 128, and the synchronous division
factor to 256, to obtain an internal clock frequency of 1 Hz (ck_spre) with an LSE frequency
of 32.768 kHz.
The minimum division factor is 1 and the maximum division factor is 222.

RM0383 Rev 3 435/844

471
Real-time clock (RTC) RM0383

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 17.3.4: Periodic auto-wakeup for details).

17.3.2 Real-time clock and calendar

The RTC calendar time and date registers are accessed through shadow registers which
are synchronized with PCLK1 (APB1 clock).
• RTC_SSR for the subseconds
• RTC_TR for the time
• RTC_DR for the date
Every two RTCCLK periods, the current calendar value is copied into the shadow registers,
and the RSF bit of RTC_ISR register is set (see Section 17.6.4). The copy is not performed
in Stop and Standby mode. When exiting these modes, the shadow registers are updated
after up to 2 RTCCLK periods.
When the application reads the calendar registers, it accesses the content of the shadow
registers. It is possible to make a direct access to the calendar registers by setting the
BYPSHAD control bit in the RTC_CR register. By default, this bit is cleared, and the user
accesses the shadow registers.
When reading the RTC_SSR, RTC_TR or RTC_DR registers in BYPSHAD=0 mode, the
frequency of the APB clock (fAPB) must be at least 7 times the frequency of the RTC clock
(fRTCCLK).
The shadow registers are reset by system reset.

17.3.3 Programmable alarms

The RTC unit provides two programmable alarms, Alarm A and Alarm B.
The programmable alarm functions are enabled through the ALRAIE and ALRBIE bits in the
RTC_CR register. The ALRAF and ALRBF flags are set to 1 if the calendar subseconds,
seconds, minutes, hours, date or day match the values programmed in the alarm registers
RTC_ALRMASSR/RTC_ALRMAR and RTC_ALRMBSSR/RTC_ALRMBR, respectively.
Each calendar field can be independently selected through the MSKx bits of the
RTC_ALRMAR and RTC_ALRMBR registers, and through the MASKSSx bits of the

436/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 Real-time clock (RTC)

RTC_ALRMASSR and RTC_ALRMBSSR registers. The alarm interrupts are enabled

through the ALRAIE and ALRBIE bits in the RTC_CR register.
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 polarity can be configured through bit POL in the
RTC_CR register.
Caution: If the seconds field is selected (MSK0 bit reset in RTC_ALRMAR or RTC_ALRMBR), the
synchronous prescaler division factor set in the RTC_PRER register must be at least 3 to
ensure correct behavior.

17.3.4 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 configuring the wakeup interrupt period
from 122 µs to 32 s, with a resolution down to 61µs.
• ck_spre (usually 1 Hz internal clock)
When ck_spre frequency is 1Hz, this allows achieving 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 439), 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_CR2
register, it can exit the device from low-power modes.
The periodic wakeup flag can be routed to the RTC_ALARM output provided it has been
enabled through bits OSEL[1:0] of RTC_CR register. RTC_ALARMpolarity 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.

17.3.5 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 with the
DBP bit of the PWR power control register (PWR_CR). The DBP bit must be set 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_ISR[13:8], RTC_TAFCR, and RTC_BKPxR.
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 from 1 to 2 RTCCLK clock cycles (due to clock
synchronization).
3. To generate a 1 Hz clock for the calendar counter, program first the synchronous
prescaler factor in RTC_PRER register, and then program the asynchronous prescaler
factor. Even if only one of the two fields needs to be changed, 2 separate write
accesses must be performed to the 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.

438/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 Real-time clock (RTC)

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 alarm (Alarm
A or Alarm B):
1. Clear ALRAE or ALRBIE in RTC_CR to disable Alarm A or Alarm B.
2. Poll ALRAWF or ALRBWF in RTC_ISR until it is set to make sure the access to alarm
registers is allowed. This takes 1 to 2 RTCCLK clock cycles (due to clock
synchronization).
3. Program the Alarm A or Alarm B registers (RTC_ALRMASSR/RTC_ALRMAR or
RTC_ALRMBSSR/RTC_ALRMBR).
4. Set ALRAE or ALRBIE in the RTC_CR register to enable Alarm A or Alarm B again.
Note: Each change of the RTC_CR register is taken into account after 1 to 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):
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 1 to 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
clocks cycles after WUTE is cleared, due to clock synchronization.

17.3.6 Reading the calendar

To read the RTC calendar registers (RTC_SSR, RTC_TR and RTC_DR) properly, the APB1
clock frequency (fPCLK1) must be equal to or greater than seven times the fRTCCLK RTC
clock frequency. This ensures a secure behavior of the synchronization mechanism.
If the APB1 clock frequency is less than seven times the RTC clock frequency, the software
must read the calendar time and date registers twice. If the second read of the RTC_TR
gives the same result as the first read, this ensures that the data is correct. Otherwise a third
read access must be done. In any case the APB1 clock frequency must never be lower than
the RTC clock frequency.
The RSF bit is set in RTC_ISR register each time the calendar registers are copied into the
RTC_SSR, RTC_TR and RTC_DR shadow registers. The copy is performed every two
RTCCLK cycles. To ensure consistency between the 3 values, reading either RTC_SSR or
RTC_TR locks the values in the higher-order calendar shadow registers until RTC_DR is

read. In case the software makes read accesses to the calendar in a time interval smaller
than 2 RTCCLK periods: RSF must be cleared by software after the first calendar read, and
then the software must wait until RSF is set before reading again the RTC_SSR, RTC_TR
and RTC_DR registers.
After waking up from low-power mode (Stop or Standby), RSF must be cleared by software.
The software must then wait until it is set again before reading the RTC_SSR, RTC_TR and
RTC_DR registers.
The RSF bit must be cleared after wakeup and not before entering low-power mode.
Note: 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 438): the
software must wait until RSF is set before reading the RTC_SSR, RTC_TR and RTC_DR
registers.
After synchronization (refer to Section 17.3.8: 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.

17.3.7 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 resetted 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 registers (RTC_CALIBR or RTC_CALR), the RTC shift register (RTC_SHIFTR),
the RTC timestamp registers (RTC_TSSSR, RTC_TSTR and RTC_TSDR), the RTC tamper
and alternate function configuration register (RTC_TAFCR), the RTC backup registers
(RTC_BKPxR), the wakeup timer register (RTC_WUTR), the Alarm A and Alarm B registers
(RTC_ALRMASSR/RTC_ALRMAR and RTC_ALRMBSSR/RTC_ALRMBR).
In addition, when the RTC is clocked by the LSE, it goes on running under system reset if
the reset source is different from a backup domain reset one. Refer to section RTC clock of

440/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 Real-time clock (RTC)

the Reset and clock controller for details about the list of the RTC clock sources that are not
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.

17.3.8 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’s 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’s output at 1 Hz. In this way, the frequency of the
asynchronous prescaler’s 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.

17.3.9 RTC reference clock detection

The RTC calendar update can be synchronized to a reference clock RTC_REFIN, usually
the mains (50 or 60 Hz). The RTC_REFIN reference clock should have a higher precision
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 reference 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.

RM0383 Rev 3 441/844

471
Real-time clock (RTC) RM0383

The RTC detects if the reference clock source is present by using the 256 Hz clock
(ck_apre) generated from the 32.768 kHz quartz. The detection is performed during a time
window around each of the calendar updates (every 1 s). The window equals 7 ck_apre
periods when detecting the first reference clock edge. A smaller window of 3 ck_apre
periods is used for subsequent calendar updates.
Each time the reference clock is detected in the window, the asynchronous prescaler which
outputs the ck_apre clock is forced to reload. This has no effect when the reference clock
and the 1 Hz clock are aligned because the prescaler is being reloaded at the same
moment. When the clocks are not aligned, the reload shifts future 1 Hz clock edges a little
for them to be aligned with the reference clock.
If the reference clock halts (no reference clock edge occurred during the 3 ck_apre window),
the calendar is updated continuously based solely on the LSE clock. The RTC then waits for
the reference clock using a large 7 ck_apre period detection window centered on the
ck_spre edge.
When the reference clock detection is enabled, PREDIV_A and PREDIV_S must be set to
their default values:
• PREDIV_A = 0x007F
• PREDIV_S = 0x00FF
Note: The reference clock detection is not available in Standby mode.
Caution: The reference clock detection feature cannot be used in conjunction with the coarse digital
calibration: RTC_CALIBR must be kept at 0x0000 0000 when REFCKON=1.

17.3.10 RTC coarse digital calibration

Two digital calibration methods are available: coarse and smooth calibration. To perform
coarse calibration refer to Section 17.6.7: RTC calibration register (RTC_CALIBR).
The two calibration methods are not intended to be used together, the application must
select one of the two methods. Coarse calibration is provided for compatibly reasons. To
perform smooth calibration refer to Section 17.3.11: RTC smooth digital calibration and the
Section 17.6.16: RTC calibration register (RTC_CALR)
The coarse digital calibration can be used to compensate crystal inaccuracy by adding
(positive calibration) or masking (negative calibration) clock cycles at the output of the
asynchronous prescaler (ck_apre).
Positive and negative calibration are selected by setting the DCS bit in RTC_CALIBR
register to ‘0’ and ‘1’, respectively.
When positive calibration is enabled (DCS = ‘0’), 2 ck_apre cycles are added every minute
(around 15360 ck_apre cycles) for 2xDC minutes. This causes the calendar to be updated
sooner, thereby adjusting the effective RTC frequency to be a bit higher.
When negative calibration is enabled (DCS = ‘1’), 1 ck_apre cycle is removed every minute
(around 15360 ck_apre cycles) for 2xDC minutes. This causes the calendar to be updated
later, thereby adjusting the effective RTC frequency to be a bit lower.
DC is configured through bits DC[4:0] of RTC_CALIBR register. This number ranges from 0
to 31 corresponding to a time interval (2xDC) ranging from 0 to 62.
The coarse digital calibration can be configured only in initialization mode, and starts when
the INIT bit is cleared. The full calibration cycle lasts 64 minutes. The first 2xDC minutes of
the 64 -minute cycle are modified as just described.

442/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 Real-time clock (RTC)

Negative calibration can be performed with a resolution of about 2 ppm while positive
calibration can be performed with a resolution of about 4 ppm. The maximum calibration
ranges from −63 ppm to 126 ppm.
The calibration can be performed either on the LSE or on the HSE clock.
Caution: Digital calibration may not work correctly if PREDIV_A < 6.

Case of RTCCLK=32.768 kHz and PREDIV_A+1=128

The following description assumes that ck_apre frequency is 256 Hz obtained with an LSE
clock nominal frequency of 32.768 kHz, and PREDIV_A set to 127 (default value).
The ck_spre clock frequency is only modified during the first 2xDC minutes of the 64-minute
cycle. For example, when DC equals 1, only the first 2 minutes are modified. This means
that the first 2xDC minutes of each 64-minute cycle have, once per minute, one second
either shortened by 256 or lengthened by 128 RTCCLK cycles, given that each ck_apre
cycle represents 128 RTCCLK cycles (with PREDIV_A+1=128).
Therefore each calibration step has the effect of adding 512 or subtracting 256 oscillator
cycles for every 125829120 RTCCLK cycles (64min x 60 s/min x 32768 cycles/s). This is
equivalent to +4.069 ppm or-2.035 ppm per calibration step. As a result, the calibration
resolution is +10.5 or −5.27 seconds per month, and the total calibration ranges from +5.45
to −2.72 minutes per month.
In order to measure the clock deviation, a 512 Hz clock is output for calibration.Refer to
Section 17.3.14: Calibration clock output.

17.3.11 RTC smooth digital calibration

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.
• 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.
Note: CALM[8:0] (RTC_CALRx) 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).

RM0383 Rev 3 443/844

471
Real-time clock (RTC) RM0383

While CALM allows the RTC frequency to be reduced by up to 487.1 ppm with fine
resolution, the bit CALP can be used to increase the frequency by 488.5 ppm. Setting CALP
to ‘1’ effectively inserts an extra RTCCLK pulse every 211 RTCCLK cycles, which means
that 512 clocks are added during every 32-second cycle.
Using CALM together with CALP, an offset ranging from -511 to +512 RTCCLK cycles can
be added during the 32-second cycle, which translates to a calibration range of -487.1 ppm
to +488.5 ppm with a resolution of about 0.954 ppm.
The formula to calculate the effective calibrated frequency (FCAL) given the input frequency
(FRTCCLK) is as follows:
FCAL = FRTCCLK x [1 + (CALP x 512 - CALM) / (220 + CALM - CALP x 512)]

Calibration when PREDIV_A<3

The CALP bit can not be set to 1 when the asynchronous prescaler value (PREDIV_A bits in
RTC_PRER register) is less than 3. If CALP was already set to 1 and PREDIV_A bits are
set to a value less than 3, CALP is ignored and the calibration operates as if CALP was
equal to 0.
To perform a calibration with PREDIV_A less than 3, the synchronous prescaler value
(PREDIV_S) should be reduced so that each second is accelerated by 8 RTCCLK clock
cycles, which is equivalent to adding 256 clock cycles every 32 seconds. As a result,
between 255 and 256 clock pulses (corresponding to a calibration range from 243.3 to
244.1 ppm) can effectively be added during each 32-second cycle using only the CALM bits.
With a nominal RTCCLK frequency of 32768 Hz, when PREDIV_A equals 1 (division factor
of 2), PREDIV_S should be set to 16379 rather than 16383 (4 less). The only other
interesting case is when PREDIV_A equals 0, PREDIV_S should be set to 32759 rather
than 32767 (8 less).
If PREDIV_S is reduced in this way, the formula given the effective frequency of the
calibrated input clock is as follows:
FCAL = FRTCCLK x [1 + (256 - CALM) / (220 + CALM - 256)]
In this case, CALM[7:0] equals 0x100 (the midpoint of the CALM range) is the correct
setting if RTCCLK is exactly 32768.00 Hz.

Verifying the RTC calibration

RTC precision is performed 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.

444/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 Real-time clock (RTC)

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 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:
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.

17.3.12 Timestamp function

Timestamp is enabled by setting the TSE bit of RTC_CR register to 1.
The calendar is saved in the timestamp registers (RTC_TSSSR, RTC_TSTR, RTC_TSDR)
when a timestamp event is detected on the pin to which the TIMESTAMP additional function
is mapped. When a timestamp event occurs, the timestamp flag bit (TSF) in RTC_ISR
register is set.
By setting the TSIE bit in the RTC_CR register, an interrupt is generated when a timestamp
event occurs.
If a new timestamp event is detected while the timestamp flag (TSF) is already set, the
timestamp overflow flag (TSOVF) flag is set and the timestamp registers (RTC_TSTR and
RTC_TSDR) maintain the results of the previous event.
Note: TSF is set 2 ck_apre cycles after the timestamp event occurs due to synchronization
process.
There is no delay in the setting of TSOVF. This means that if two timestamp 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 timestamp event occurs immediately after the TSF bit is supposed to be cleared, then
both TSF and TSOVF bits are set. To avoid masking a timestamp event occurring at the

RM0383 Rev 3 445/844

471
Real-time clock (RTC) RM0383

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 timestamp to be recorded. See the description of the
TAMPTS control bit in Section 17.6.17: RTC tamper and alternate function configuration
register (RTC_TAFCR). If the timestamp event is on the same pin as a tamper event
configured in filtered mode (TAMPFLT set to a non-zero value), the timestamp on tamper
detection event mode must be selected by setting TAMPTS='1' in RTC_TAFCR register.

TIMESTAMP additional function

The TIMESTAMP additional function is mapped to RTC_AF1.

17.3.13 Tamper detection

One tamper detection input is available. It can be configured either for edge detection, or for
level detection with filtering.

RTC backup registers

The backup registers (RTC_BKPxR) are twenty 32-bit registers for storing 80 bytes of user
application data. They are implemented in the backup domain that remains powered-on by
VBAT when the VDD power is switched off. They are not reset by system reset or when the
device wakes up from Standby mode. They are reset by a backup domain reset
The backup registers are reset when a tamper detection event occurs (see Section 17.6.20:
RTC backup registers (RTC_BKPxR) and Tamper detection initialization on page 446.

Tamper detection initialization

The tamper detection input is associated with the TAMP1F flag in the RTC_ISR register. The
input can be enabled by setting the TAMP1E bit to 1 in the RTC_TAFCR register.
A tamper detection event resets all backup registers (RTC_BKPxR).
By setting the TAMPIE bit in the RTC_TAFCR register, an interrupt is generated when a
tamper detection event occurs.

Timestamp on tamper event

With TAMPTS set to ‘1 , any tamper event causes a timestamp to occur. In this case, either
the TSF bit or the TSOVF bit are set in RTC_ISR, in the same manner as if a normal
timestamp event occurs. The tamper flag register (TAMP1F) is set at the same time that
TSF or TSOVF is set.

Edge detection on tamper inputs

If the TAMPFLT bits are “00”, the TAMPER pin generates tamper detection events
(RTC_TAMP[2:1]) when either a rising edge is observed or an falling edge is observed
depending on the corresponding TAMPxTRG bit. The internal pull-up resistors on the
TAMPER input are deactivated when edge detection is selected.
Caution: To avoid losing tamper detection events, the signal used for edge detection is logically
ANDed with TAMPxE in order to detect a tamper detection event in case it occurs before the
TAMPERx pin is enabled.
• When TAMPxTRG = 0: if the TAMPERx additional function is already high before
tamper detection is enabled (TAMPxE bit set to 1), a tamper event is detected as soon

446/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 Real-time clock (RTC)

as TAMPERx is enabled, even if there was no rising edge on TAMPERx after TAMPxE
was set.
• When TAMPxTRG = 1: if the TAMPERx additional function is already low before
tamper detection is enabled, a tamper event is detected as soon as TAMPERx is
enabled (even if there was no falling edge on TAMPERx after TAMPxE was set.
After a tamper event has been detected and cleared, the TAMPERx additional function
should be disabled and then re-enabled (TAMPxE set to 1) before re-programming the
backup registers (RTC_BKPxR). This prevents the application from writing to the backup
registers while the TAMPERx value still indicates a tamper detection. This is equivalent to a
level detection on the TAMPERx additional function.
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 TAMPER additional function is mapped should
be externally tied to the correct level.

Level detection with filtering on tamper input

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 (TAMP1TRG).
The TAMPER input is pre-charged 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 tamper inputs.
The trade-off between tamper detection latency and power consumption through the pull-up
can be optimized by using TAMPFREQ to determine the frequency of the sampling for level
detection.
Note: Refer to the datasheets for the electrical characteristics of the pull-up resistors.

TAMPER additional function detection

The TAMPER1 addtional function is mapped to the RTC_AF1 pin.

17.3.14 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 output is not impacted by the calibration value programmed in
RTC_CALIBR register. The RTC_CALIB duty cycle is irregular: there is a light jitter on falling
edges. It is therefore recommended to use rising edges.
If 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 = 0x7F, 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).

Calibration alternate function output

When the COE bit in the RTC_CR register is set to 1, the calibration alternate function
(RTC_CALIB) is enabled on RTC_OUT.

RM0383 Rev 3 447/844

471
Real-time clock (RTC) RM0383

Note: When RTC_CALIB or RTC_ALARM is selected, RTC_OUT is automatically configured in

output alternate function.

17.3.15 Alarm output

Three functions can be selected on Alarm output: ALRAF. These functions reflect the
contents of the corresponding flags in the RTC_ISR register.
The OSEL[1:0] control bits in the RTC_CR register are used to activate the alarm alternate
function output (RTC_ALARM) in RTC_AF1, and to select the function which is output on
RTC_ALARM.
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 alternate function output

RTC_ALARM can be configured in output open drain or output push-pull using the control
bit ALARMOUTTYPE in the RTC_TAFCR register.
Note: Once RTC_ALARM is enabled, it has priority over RTC_CALIB (COE bit is don't care on
RTC_AF1).
When RTC_CALIB or RTC_ALARM is selected, RTC_OUT is automatically configured in
output alternate function.

Bit 31 ADD1S: Add one second

0: No effect
1: Add one second to the clock/calendar
This bit is write only and is always read as zero. Writing to this bit has no effect when a shift
operation is pending (when SHPF=1, in RTC_ISR).
This function is intended to be used with SUBFS (see description below) in order to
effectively add a fraction of a second to the clock in an atomic operation.
Bits 30:15 Reserved
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’s 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.
Refer to Section 17.3.8: RTC synchronization.

Bit 15 CALP: Increase frequency of RTC by 488.5 ppm
0: No RTCCLK pulses are added.
1: One RTCCLK pulse is effectively inserted every 211 pulses (frequency increased by
488.5 ppm).
This feature is intended to be used in conjunction with CALM, which lowers the frequency of
the calendar with a fine resolution. if the input frequency is 32768 Hz, the number of
RTCCLK pulses added during a 32-second window is calculated as follows: (512 * CALP) -
CALM.
Refer to Section 17.3.11: 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.
CALM[1:0] are stuck at “00” when CALW8=’1’.
Refer to Section 17.3.11: 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 17.3.11: RTC smooth digital calibration.
Bits 12:9 Reserved
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.

18 Inter-integrated circuit (I2C) interface

18.1 I2C introduction

I2C (inter-integrated circuit) bus Interface serves as an interface between the microcontroller
and the serial I2C bus. It provides multimaster capability, and controls all I2C bus-specific
sequencing, protocol, arbitration and timing. It supports the standard mode (Sm, up to
100 kHz) and Fm mode (Fm, up to 400 kHz). The I2C bus frequency can be increased up to
1 MHz. For more details about the complete solution, please contact your local ST sales
representative.
It may be used for a variety of purposes, including CRC generation and verification, SMBus
(system management bus) and PMBus (power management bus).

18.2 I2C main features

• Parallel-bus/I2C protocol converter
• Multimaster capability: the same interface can act as Master or Slave
• I2C Master features:
– Clock generation
– Start and Stop generation
• I2C Slave features:
– Programmable I2C Address detection
– Dual Addressing Capability to acknowledge 2 slave addresses
– Stop bit detection
• Generation and detection of 7-bit/10-bit addressing and General Call
• Supports different communication speeds:
– Standard Speed (up to 100 kHz)
– Fast Speed (up to 400 kHz)
– The I2C bus frequency can be increased up to 1 MHz. For more details about the

18.3 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) or fast (up to 400 kHz) I2C bus.

18.3.1 Mode selection

The interface can operate in one of the four following modes:
• Slave transmitter
• Slave receiver
• Master transmitter
• Master receiver
By default, it operates in slave mode. The interface automatically switches from slave to
master, after it generates a START condition and from master to slave, if an arbitration loss
or a Stop generation occurs, allowing 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 may be enabled or disabled
by software.
Data and addresses are transferred as 8-bit bytes, MSB first. The first byte(s) following the
start condition contain the address (one in 7-bit mode, two in 10-bit mode). The address is
always transmitted in Master mode.

A 9th clock pulse follows the 8 clock cycles of a byte transfer, during which the receiver must
send an acknowledge bit to the transmitter. Refer to Figure 160.

1. SMBA is an optional signal in SMBus mode. This signal is not applicable if SMBus is disabled.

18.3.2 I2C slave mode

By default the I2C interface operates in Slave mode. To switch from default Slave mode to
Master mode a Start condition generation is needed.
The peripheral input clock must be programmed in the I2C_CR2 register in order to
generate correct timings. The peripheral input clock frequency must be at least:
• 2 MHz in Sm mode
• 4 MHz in Fm mode
As soon as a start condition is detected, the address is received from the SDA line and sent
to the shift register. Then it is compared with the address of the interface (OAR1) and with
OAR2 (if ENDUAL=1) or the General Call address (if ENGC = 1).
Note: In 10-bit addressing mode, the comparison includes the header sequence (11110xx0),
where xx denotes the two most significant bits of the address.

RM0383 Rev 3 475/844

504
Inter-integrated circuit (I2C) interface RM0383

Header or address not matched: the interface ignores it and waits for another Start
condition.
Header matched (10-bit mode only): the interface generates an acknowledge pulse if the
ACK bit is set and waits for the 8-bit slave address.
Address matched: the interface generates in sequence:
• An acknowledge pulse if the ACK bit is set
• The ADDR bit is set by hardware and an interrupt is generated if the ITEVFEN bit is
set.
• If ENDUAL=1, the software has to read the DUALF bit to check which slave address
has been acknowledged.
In 10-bit mode, after receiving the address sequence the slave is always in Receiver mode.
It will enter Transmitter mode on receiving a repeated Start condition followed by the header
sequence with matching address bits and the least significant bit set (11110xx1).
The TRA bit indicates whether the slave is in Receiver or Transmitter mode.

Slave transmitter
Following the address reception and after clearing ADDR, the slave sends bytes from the
DR register to the SDA line via the internal shift register.
The slave stretches SCL low until ADDR is cleared and DR filled with the data to be sent
(see Figure 162 Transfer sequencing EV1 EV3).
When the acknowledge pulse is received:
• The TxE bit is set by hardware with an interrupt if the ITEVFEN and the ITBUFEN bits
are set.
If TxE is set and some data were not written in the I2C_DR register before the end of the
next data transmission, the BTF bit is set and the interface waits until BTF is cleared by a
read to I2C_SR1 followed by a write to the I2C_DR register, stretching SCL low.

1. The EV1 and EV3_1 events stretch SCL low until the end of the corresponding software sequence.
2. The EV3 event stretches SCL low if the software sequence is not completed before the end of the next byte
transmission.

Slave receiver
Following the address reception and after clearing ADDR, the slave receives bytes from the
SDA line into the DR register via the internal shift register. After each byte the interface
generates in sequence:
• An acknowledge pulse if the ACK bit is set
• The RxNE bit is set by hardware and an interrupt is generated if the ITEVFEN and
ITBUFEN bit is set.
If RxNE is set and the data in the DR register is not read before the end of the next data
reception, the BTF bit is set and the interface waits until BTF is cleared by a read from the
I2C_DR register, stretching SCL low (see Figure 163 Transfer sequencing).

1. The EV1 event stretches SCL low until the end of the corresponding software sequence.
2. The EV2 event stretches SCL low if the software sequence is not completed before the end of the next byte
reception.
3. After checking the SR1 register content, the user should perform the complete clearing sequence for each
flag found set.
Thus, for ADDR and STOPF flags, the following sequence is required inside the I2C interrupt routine:
READ SR1
if (ADDR == 1) {READ SR1; READ SR2}
if (STOPF == 1) {READ SR1; WRITE CR1}
The purpose is to make sure that both ADDR and STOPF flags are cleared if both are found set.

Closing slave communication

After the last data byte is transferred a Stop Condition is generated by the master. The
interface detects this condition and sets:
• The STOPF bit and generates an interrupt if the ITEVFEN bit is set.
The STOPF bit is cleared by a read of the SR1 register followed by a write to the CR1
register (see EV4 in Figure 163).

18.3.3 I2C master mode

In Master mode, the I2C interface initiates a data transfer and generates the clock signal. A
serial data transfer always begins with a Start condition and ends with a Stop condition.
Master mode is selected as soon as the Start condition is generated on the bus with a
START bit.
The following is the required sequence in master mode.
• Program the peripheral input clock in I2C_CR2 Register in order to generate correct
timings
• Configure the clock control registers
• Configure the rise time register
• Program the I2C_CR1 register to enable the peripheral
• Set the START bit in the I2C_CR1 register to generate a Start condition
The peripheral input clock frequency must be at least:
• 2 MHz in Sm mode
• 4 MHz in Fm mode

478/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 Inter-integrated circuit (I2C) interface

SCL master clock generation

The CCR bits are used to generate the high and low level of the SCL clock, starting from the
generation of the rising and falling edge (respectively). As a slave may stretch the SCL line,
the peripheral checks the SCL input from the bus at the end of the time programmed in
TRISE bits after rising edge generation.
• If the SCL line is low, it means that a slave is stretching the bus, and the high level
counter stops until the SCL line is detected high. This allows to guarantee the minimum
HIGH period of the SCL clock parameter.
• If the SCL line is high, the high level counter keeps on counting.
Indeed, the feedback loop from the SCL rising edge generation by the peripheral to the SCL
rising edge detection by the peripheral takes time even if no slave stretches the clock. This
loopback duration is linked to the SCL rising time (impacting SCL VIH input detection), plus
delay due to the noise filter present on the SCL input path, plus delay due to internal SCL
input synchronization with APB clock. The maximum time used by the feedback loop is
programmed in the TRISE bits, so that the SCL frequency remains stable whatever the SCL
rising time.

Start condition
Setting the START bit causes the interface to generate a Start condition and to switch to
Master mode (MSL bit set) when the BUSY bit is cleared.
Note: In master mode, setting the START bit causes the interface to generate a ReStart condition
at the end of the current byte transfer.
Once the Start condition is sent:
• The SB bit is set by hardware and an interrupt is generated if the ITEVFEN bit is set.
Then the master waits for a read of the SR1 register followed by a write in the DR register
with the Slave address (see Figure 164 and Figure 165 Transfer sequencing EV5).

Slave address transmission

Then the slave address is sent to the SDA line via the internal shift register.
• In 10-bit addressing mode, sending the header sequence causes the following event:
– The ADD10 bit is set by hardware and an interrupt is generated if the ITEVFEN bit
is set.
Then the master waits for a read of the SR1 register followed by a write in the DR
register with the second address byte (see Figure 164 and Figure 165 Transfer
sequencing).
– The ADDR bit is set by hardware and an interrupt is generated if the ITEVFEN bit
is set.
Then the master waits for a read of the SR1 register followed by a read of the SR2
register (see Figure 164 and Figure 165 Transfer sequencing).
• In 7-bit addressing mode, one address byte is sent.
As soon as the address byte is sent,
– The ADDR bit is set by hardware and an interrupt is generated if the ITEVFEN bit
is set.
Then the master waits for a read of the SR1 register followed by a read of the SR2
register (see Figure 164 and Figure 165 Transfer sequencing).

RM0383 Rev 3 479/844

504
Inter-integrated circuit (I2C) interface RM0383

The master can decide to enter Transmitter or Receiver mode depending on the LSB of the
slave address sent.
• In 7-bit addressing mode,
– To enter Transmitter mode, a master sends the slave address with LSB reset.
– To enter Receiver mode, a master sends the slave address with LSB set.
• In 10-bit addressing mode,
– To enter Transmitter mode, a master sends the header (11110xx0) and then the
slave address, (where xx denotes the two most significant bits of the address).
– To enter Receiver mode, a master sends the header (11110xx0) and then the
slave address. Then it should send a repeated Start condition followed by the
header (11110xx1), (where xx denotes the two most significant bits of the
address).
The TRA bit indicates whether the master is in Receiver or Transmitter mode.

Master transmitter
Following the address transmission and after clearing ADDR, the master sends bytes from
the DR register to the SDA line via the internal shift register.
The master waits until the first data byte is written into I2C_DR (see Figure 164 Transfer
sequencing EV8_1).
When the acknowledge pulse is received, the TxE bit is set by hardware and an interrupt is
generated if the ITEVFEN and ITBUFEN bits are set.
If TxE is set and a data byte was not written in the DR register before the end of the last data
transmission, BTF is set and the interface waits until BTF is cleared by a write to I2C_DR,
stretching SCL low.
Closing the communication
After the last byte is written to the DR register, the STOP bit is set by software to generate a
Stop condition (see Figure 164 Transfer sequencing EV8_2). The interface automatically
goes back to slave mode (MSL bit cleared).
Note: Stop condition should be programmed during EV8_2 event, when either TxE or BTF is set.

1. The EV5, EV6, EV9, EV8_1 and EV8_2 events stretch SCL low until the end of the corresponding software sequence.
2. The EV8 event stretches SCL low if the software sequence is not complete before the end of the next byte transmission.

Master receiver
Following the address transmission and after clearing ADDR, the I2C interface enters
Master Receiver mode. In this mode the interface receives bytes from the SDA line into the
DR register via the internal shift register. After each byte the interface generates in
sequence:
1. An acknowledge pulse if the ACK bit is set
2. The RxNE bit is set and an interrupt is generated if the ITEVFEN and ITBUFEN bits are
set (see Figure 165 Transfer sequencing EV7).
If the RxNE bit is set and the data in the DR register is not read before the end of the last
data reception, the BTF bit is set by hardware and the interface waits until BTF is cleared by
a read in the DR register, stretching SCL low.
Closing the communication
The master sends a NACK for the last byte received from the slave. After receiving this
NACK, the slave releases the control of the SCL and SDA lines. Then the master can send
a Stop/Restart condition.
1. To generate the nonacknowledge pulse after the last received data byte, the ACK bit
must be cleared just after reading the second last data byte (after second last RxNE
event).
2. In order to generate the Stop/Restart condition, software must set the STOP/START bit
after reading the second last data byte (after the second last RxNE event).
3. In case a single byte has to be received, the Acknowledge disable is made during EV6
(before ADDR flag is cleared) and the STOP condition generation is made after EV6.
After the Stop condition generation, the interface goes automatically back to slave mode
(MSL bit cleared).

1. If a single byte is received, it is NA.

2. The EV5, EV6 and EV9 events stretch SCL low until the end of the corresponding software sequence.
3. The EV7 event stretches SCL low if the software sequence is not completed before the end of the next byte

4. The EV7_1 software sequence must be completed before the ACK pulse of the current byte transfer.
The procedures described below are recommended if the EV7-1 software sequence is not
completed before the ACK pulse of the current byte transfer.
These procedures must be followed to make sure:
• The ACK bit is set low on time before the end of the last data reception
• The STOP bit is set high after the last data reception without reception of
supplementary data.
For 2-byte reception:
• Wait until ADDR = 1 (SCL stretched low until the ADDR flag is cleared)
• Set ACK low, set POS high
• Clear ADDR flag
• Wait until BTF = 1 (Data 1 in DR, Data2 in shift register, SCL stretched low until a data
1 is read)
• Set STOP high
• Read data 1 and 2

For N >2 -byte reception, from N-2 data reception

• Wait until BTF = 1 (data N-2 in DR, data N-1 in shift register, SCL stretched low until

• Set ACK low
• Read data N-2
• Wait until BTF = 1 (data N-1 in DR, data N in shift register, SCL stretched low until a
data N-1 is read)
• Set STOP high
• Read data N-1 and N

18.3.4 Error conditions

The following are the error conditions which may cause communication to fail.

Bus error (BERR)

This error occurs when the I2C interface detects an external Stop or Start condition during
an address or a data transfer. In this case:
• the BERR bit is set and an interrupt is generated if the ITERREN bit is set
• in Slave mode: data are discarded and the lines are released by hardware:
– in case of a misplaced Start, the slave considers it is a restart and waits for an
address, or a Stop condition
– in case of a misplaced Stop, the slave behaves like for a Stop condition and the
lines are released by hardware
• In Master mode: the lines are not released and the state of the current transmission is
not affected. It is up to the software to abort or not the current transmission

Acknowledge failure (AF)

This error occurs when the interface detects a nonacknowledge bit. In this case:
• the AF bit is set and an interrupt is generated if the ITERREN bit is set
• a transmitter which receives a NACK must reset the communication:
– If Slave: lines are released by hardware
– If Master: a Stop or repeated Start condition must be generated by software

Arbitration lost (ARLO)

This error occurs when the I2C interface detects an arbitration lost condition. In this case
• the ARLO bit is set by hardware (and an interrupt is generated if the ITERREN bit is
set)
• the I2C Interface goes automatically back to slave mode (the MSL bit is cleared). When
the I2C loses the arbitration, it is not able to acknowledge its slave address in the same
transfer, but it can acknowledge it after a repeated Start from the winning master.
• lines are released by hardware

RM0383 Rev 3 483/844

504
Inter-integrated circuit (I2C) interface RM0383

Overrun/underrun error (OVR)

An overrun error can occur in slave mode when clock stretching is disabled and the I2C
interface is receiving data. The interface has received a byte (RxNE=1) and the data in DR
has not been read, before the next byte is received by the interface. In this case,
• The last received byte is lost.
• In case of Overrun error, software should clear the RxNE bit and the transmitter should
re-transmit the last received byte.
Underrun error can occur in slave mode when clock stretching is disabled and the I2C
interface is transmitting data. The interface has not updated the DR with the next byte
(TxE=1), before the clock comes for the next byte. In this case,
• The same byte in the DR register will be sent again
• The user should make sure that data received on the receiver side during an underrun
error are discarded and that the next bytes are written within the clock low time
specified in the I2C bus standard.
For the first byte to be transmitted, the DR must be written after ADDR is cleared and before
the first SCL rising edge. If not possible, the receiver must discard the first data.

18.3.5 Programmable noise filter

In Fm mode, the I2C standard requires that spikes are suppressed to a length of 50 ns on
SDA and SCL lines.
An analog noise filter is implemented in the SDA and SCL I/Os. This filter is enabled by
default and can be disabled by setting the ANOFF bit in the I2C_FLTR register.
A digital noise filter can be enabled by configuring the DNF[3:0] bits to a non-zero value.
This suppresses the spikes on SDA and SCL inputs with a length of up to DNF[3:0] *
TPCLK1.
Enabling the digital noise filter increases the SDA hold time by (DNF[3:0] +1)* TPCLK.
To be compliant with the maximum hold time of the I2C-bus specification version 2.1
(Thd:dat), the DNF bits must be programmed using the constraints shown in Table 68, and
assuming that the analog filter is disabled.
Note: DNF[3:0] must only be configured when the I2C is disabled (PE = 0). If the analog filter is
also enabled, the digital filter is added to the analog filter.

Table 68. Maximum DNF[3:0] value to be compliant with Thd:dat(max)

40 < FPCLK1 <= 50 15 15

484/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 Inter-integrated circuit (I2C) interface

Note: For each frequency range, the constraint is given based on the worst case which is the
minimum frequency of the range. Greater DNF values can be used if the system can
support maximum hold time violation.

18.3.6 SDA/SCL line control

• If clock stretching is enabled:
– Transmitter mode: If TxE=1 and BTF=1: the interface holds the clock line low
before transmission to wait for the microcontroller to write the byte in the Data
Register (both buffer and shift register are empty).
– Receiver mode: If RxNE=1 and BTF=1: the interface holds the clock line low after
reception to wait for the microcontroller to read the byte in the Data Register (both
buffer and shift register are full).
• If clock stretching is disabled in Slave mode:
– Overrun Error in case of RxNE=1 and no read of DR has been done before the
next byte is received. The last received byte is lost.
– Underrun Error in case TxE=1 and no write into DR has been done before the next
byte must be transmitted. The same byte will be sent again.
– Write Collision not managed.

18.3.7 SMBus
Introduction
The System Management Bus (SMBus) is a two-wire interface through which various
devices can communicate with each other and with the rest of the system. It is based on I2C
principles of operation. SMBus provides a control bus for system and power management
related tasks. A system may use SMBus to pass messages to and from devices instead of
toggling individual control lines.
The System Management Bus Specification refers to three types of devices. A slave is a
device that is receiving or responding to a command. A master is a device that issues
commands, generates the clocks, and terminates the transfer. A host is a specialized
master that provides the main interface to the system's CPU. A host must be a master-slave
and must support the SMBus host notify protocol. Only one host is allowed in a system.

Similarities between SMBus and I2C

• 2 wire bus protocol (1 Clk, 1 Data) + SMBus Alert line optional
• Master-slave communication, Master provides clock
• Multi master capability
• SMBus data format similar to I2C 7-bit addressing format (Figure 160).

Differences between SMBus and I2C

The following table describes the differences between SMBus and I2C.

With System Management Bus, a device can provide manufacturer information, tell the
system what its model/part number is, save its state for a suspend event, report different
types of errors, accept control parameters, and return its status. SMBus provides a control
bus for system and power management related tasks.

Device identification
Any device that exists on the System Management Bus as a slave has a unique address
called the Slave Address. For the list of reserved slave addresses, refer to the SMBus
specification version. 2.0 (http://smbus.org/).

Bus protocols
The SMBus specification supports up to nine bus protocols. For more details of these
protocols and SMBus address types, refer to SMBus specification version. 2.0. These
protocols should be implemented by the user software.

Address resolution protocol (ARP)

SMBus slave address conflicts can be resolved by dynamically assigning a new unique
address to each slave device. The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) has the following
attributes:
• Address assignment uses the standard SMBus physical layer arbitration mechanism
• Assigned addresses remain constant while device power is applied; address retention
through device power loss is also allowed
• No additional SMBus packet overhead is incurred after address assignment. (i.e.
subsequent accesses to assigned slave addresses have the same overhead as
accesses to fixed address devices.)
• Any SMBus master can enumerate the bus

Unique device identifier (UDID)

In order to provide a mechanism to isolate each device for the purpose of address
assignment, each device must implement a unique device identifier (UDID).
For the details on 128-bit UDID and more information on ARP, refer to SMBus specification
version 2.0.

SMBus alert mode

SMBus Alert is an optional signal with an interrupt line for devices that want to trade their
ability to master for a pin. SMBA is a wired-AND signal just as the SCL and SDA signals are.
SMBA is used in conjunction with the SMBus General Call Address. Messages invoked with
the SMBus are two bytes long.
A slave-only device can signal the host through SMBA that it wants to talk by setting ALERT
bit in I2C_CR1 register. The host processes the interrupt and simultaneously accesses all
SMBA devices through the Alert Response Address (known as ARA having a value 0001
100X). Only the device(s) which pulled SMBA low will acknowledge the Alert Response
Address. This status is identified using SMBALERT Status flag in I2C_SR1 register. The
host performs a modified Receive Byte operation. The 7 bit device address provided by the
slave transmit device is placed in the 7 most significant bits of the byte. The eighth bit can
be a zero or one.
If more than one device pulls SMBA low, the highest priority (lowest address) device will win
communication rights via standard arbitration during the slave address transfer. After
acknowledging the slave address the device must disengage its SMBA pull-down. If the
host still sees SMBA low when the message transfer is complete, it knows to read the ARA
again.
A host which does not implement the SMBA signal may periodically access the ARA.
For more details on SMBus Alert mode, refer to SMBus specification version 2.0.

Timeout error
There are differences in the timing specifications between I2C and SMBus.
SMBus defines a clock low timeout, TIMEOUT of 35 ms. Also SMBus specifies TLOW:
SEXT as the cumulative clock low extend time for a slave device. SMBus specifies TLOW:
MEXT as the cumulative clock low extend time for a master device. For more details on
these timeouts, refer to SMBus specification version 2.0.
The status flag Timeout or Tlow Error in I2C_SR1 shows the status of this feature.

How to use the interface in SMBus mode

To switch from I2C mode to SMBus mode, the following sequence should be performed.
• Set the SMBus bit in the I2C_CR1 register
• Configure the SMBTYPE and ENARP bits in the I2C_CR1 register as required for the
application
If you want to configure the device as a master, follow the Start condition generation
procedure in Section 18.3.3. Otherwise, follow the sequence in Section 18.3.2.
The application has to control the various SMBus protocols by software.
• SMB Device Default Address acknowledged if ENARP=1 and SMBTYPE=0
• SMB Host Header acknowledged if ENARP=1 and SMBTYPE=1
• SMB Alert Response Address acknowledged if SMBALERT=1

18.3.8 DMA requests

DMA requests (when enabled) are generated only for data transfer. DMA requests are
generated by Data Register becoming empty in transmission and Data Register becoming
full in reception. The DMA must be initialized and enabled before the I2C data transfer. The
DMAEN bit must be set in the I2C_CR2 register before the ADDR event. In master mode or
in slave mode when clock stretching is enabled, the DMAEN bit can also be set during the
ADDR event, before clearing the ADDR flag. The DMA request must be served before the
end of the current byte transfer. When the number of data transfers which has been
programmed for the corresponding DMA stream is reached, the DMA controller sends an
End of Transfer EOT signal to the I2C interface and generates a Transfer Complete interrupt
if enabled:
• Master transmitter: In the interrupt routine after the EOT interrupt, disable DMA
requests then wait for a BTF event before programming the Stop condition.
• Master receiver
– When the number of bytes to be received is equal to or greater than two, the DMA
controller sends a hardware signal, EOT_1, corresponding to the last but one data
byte (number_of_bytes – 1). If, in the I2C_CR2 register, the LAST bit is set, I2C
automatically sends a NACK after the next byte following EOT_1. The user can
generate a Stop condition in the DMA Transfer Complete interrupt routine if
enabled.
– When a single byte must be received: the NACK must be programmed during EV6
event, i.e. program ACK=0 when ADDR=1, before clearing ADDR flag. Then the
user can program the STOP condition either after clearing ADDR flag, or in the
DMA Transfer Complete interrupt routine.

Transmission using DMA

DMA mode can be enabled for transmission by setting the DMAEN bit in the I2C_CR2
register. Data will be loaded from a Memory area configured using the DMA peripheral (refer
to the DMA specification) to the I2C_DR register whenever the TxE bit is set. To map a DMA
stream x for I2C transmission (where x is the stream number), perform the following
sequence:
1. Set the I2C_DR register address in the DMA_SxPAR register. The data will be moved
to this address from the memory after each TxE event.
2. Set the memory address in the DMA_SxMA0R register (and in DMA_SxMA1R register
in the case of a bouble buffer mode). The data will be loaded into I2C_DR from this
memory after each TxE event.
3. Configure the total number of bytes to be transferred in the DMA_SxNDTR register.
After each TxE event, this value will be decremented.
4. Configure the DMA stream priority using the PL[0:1] bits in the DMA_SxCR register
5. Set the DIR bit in the DMA_SxCR register and configure interrupts after half transfer or
full transfer depending on application requirements.
6. Activate the stream by setting the EN bit in the DMA_SxCR register.
When the number of data transfers which has been programmed in the DMA Controller
registers is reached, the DMA controller sends an End of Transfer EOT/ EOT_1 signal to the
I2C interface and the DMA generates an interrupt, if enabled, on the DMA stream interrupt
vector.
Note: Do not enable the ITBUFEN bit in the I2C_CR2 register if DMA is used for transmission.

488/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 Inter-integrated circuit (I2C) interface

Reception using DMA

DMA mode can be enabled for reception by setting the DMAEN bit in the I2C_CR2 register.
Data will be loaded from the I2C_DR register to a Memory area configured using the DMA
peripheral (refer to the DMA specification) whenever a data byte is received. To map a DMA
stream x for I2C reception (where x is the stream number), perform the following sequence:
1. Set the I2C_DR register address in DMA_SxPAR register. The data will be moved from
this address to the memory after each RxNE event.
2. Set the memory address in the DMA_SxMA0R register (and in DMA_SxMA1R register
in the case of a bouble buffer mode). The data will be loaded from the I2C_DR register
to this memory area after each RxNE event.
3. Configure the total number of bytes to be transferred in the DMA_SxNDTR register.
After each RxNE event, this value will be decremented.
4. Configure the stream priority using the PL[0:1] bits in the DMA_SxCR register
5. Reset the DIR bit and configure interrupts in the DMA_SxCR register after half transfer
or full transfer depending on application requirements.
6. Activate the stream by setting the EN bit in the DMA_SxCR register.
When the number of data transfers which has been programmed in the DMA Controller
registers is reached, the DMA controller sends an End of Transfer EOT/ EOT_1 signal to the
I2C interface and DMA generates an interrupt, if enabled, on the DMA stream interrupt
vector.
Note: Do not enable the ITBUFEN bit in the I2C_CR2 register if DMA is used for reception.

18.3.9 Packet error checking

A PEC calculator has been implemented to improve the reliability of communication. The
PEC is calculated by using the C(x) = x8 + x2 + x + 1 CRC-8 polynomial serially on each bit.
• PEC calculation is enabled by setting the ENPEC bit in the I2C_CR1 register. PEC is a
CRC-8 calculated on all message bytes including addresses and R/W bits.
– In transmission: set the PEC transfer bit in the I2C_CR1 register after the TxE
event corresponding to the last byte. The PEC will be transferred after the last
transmitted byte.
– In reception: set the PEC bit in the I2C_CR1 register after the RxNE event
corresponding to the last byte so that the receiver sends a NACK if the next
received byte is not equal to the internally calculated PEC. In case of Master-
Receiver, a NACK must follow the PEC whatever the check result. The PEC must

RM0383 Rev 3 489/844

504
Inter-integrated circuit (I2C) interface RM0383

be set before the ACK of the CRC reception in slave mode. It must be set when
the ACK is set low in master mode.
• A PECERR error flag/interrupt is also available in the I2C_SR1 register.
• If DMA and PEC calculation are both enabled:-
– In transmission: when the I2C interface receives an EOT signal from the DMA
controller, it automatically sends a PEC after the last byte.
– In reception: when the I2C interface receives an EOT_1 signal from the DMA
controller, it will automatically consider the next byte as a PEC and will check it. A
DMA request is generated after PEC reception.
• To allow intermediate PEC transfers, a control bit is available in the I2C_CR2 register
(LAST bit) to determine if it is really the last DMA transfer or not. If it is the last DMA
request for a master receiver, a NACK is automatically sent after the last received byte.
• PEC calculation is corrupted by an arbitration loss.

Tlow = 16 * CCR * TPCLK1
For instance: in Sm mode, to generate a 100 kHz SCL frequency:
If FREQR = 08, TPCLK1 = 125 ns so CCR must be programmed with 0x28
(0x28 <=> 40d x 125 ns = 5000 ns.)
Note: The minimum allowed value is 0x04, except in FAST DUTY mode where the minimum
allowed value is 0x01
thigh = tr(SCL) + tw(SCLH). See device datasheet for the definitions of parameters.
tlow = tf(SCL) + tw(SCLL). See device datasheet for the definitions of parameters.
I2C communication speed, fSCL ~ 1/(thigh + tlow). The real frequency may differ due to
the analog noise filter input delay.
The CCR register must be configured only when the I2C is disabled (PE = 0).

These bits should provide the maximum duration of the SCL feedback loop in master mode.
The purpose is to keep a stable SCL frequency whatever the SCL rising edge duration.
These bits must be programmed with the maximum SCL rise time given in the I2C bus
specification, incremented by 1.
For instance: in Sm mode, the maximum allowed SCL rise time is 1000 ns.
If, in the I2C_CR2 register, the value of FREQ[5:0] bits is equal to 0x08 and TPCLK1 = 125 ns
therefore the TRISE[5:0] bits must be programmed with 09h.
(1000 ns / 125 ns = 8 + 1)
The filter value can also be added to TRISE[5:0].
If the result is not an integer, TRISE[5:0] must be programmed with the integer part, in order
to respect the tHIGH parameter.

19 Universal synchronous asynchronous receiver

transmitter (USART)

19.1 USART introduction

The universal synchronous asynchronous receiver transmitter (USART) offers a flexible
means of full-duplex data exchange with external equipment requiring an industry standard
NRZ asynchronous serial data format. The USART offers a very wide range of baud rates
using a fractional baud rate generator.
It supports synchronous one-way communication and half-duplex single wire
communication. It also supports the LIN (local interconnection network), Smartcard Protocol
and IrDA (infrared data association) SIR ENDEC specifications, and modem operations
(CTS/RTS). It allows multiprocessor communication.
High speed data communication is possible by using the DMA for multibuffer configuration.

19.2 USART main features

• Full duplex, asynchronous communications
• NRZ standard format (Mark/Space)
• Configurable oversampling method by 16 or by 8 to give flexibility between speed and
clock tolerance
• Fractional baud rate generator systems
– Common programmable transmit and receive baud rate (refer to the datasheets
for the value of the baud rate at the maximum APB frequency.
• Programmable data word length (8 or 9 bits)
• Configurable stop bits - support for 1 or 2 stop bits
• LIN Master Synchronous Break send capability and LIN slave break detection
capability
– 13-bit break generation and 10/11 bit break detection when USART is hardware
configured for LIN
• Transmitter clock output for synchronous transmission
• IrDA SIR encoder decoder
– Support for 3/16 bit duration for normal mode
• Smartcard emulation capability
– The Smartcard interface supports the asynchronous protocol Smartcards as
defined in the ISO 7816-3 standards
– 0.5, 1.5 stop bits for Smartcard operation
• Single-wire half-duplex communication
• Configurable multibuffer communication using DMA (direct memory access)
– Buffering of received/transmitted bytes in reserved SRAM using centralized DMA
• Separate enable bits for transmitter and receiver
• Transfer detection flags:
– Receive buffer full

RM0383 Rev 3 505/844

557
Universal synchronous asynchronous receiver transmitter (USART) RM0383

– Transmit buffer empty

– End of transmission flags
• Parity control:
– Transmits parity bit
– Checks parity of received data byte
• Four error detection flags:
– Overrun error
– Noise detection
– Frame error
– Parity error
• Ten interrupt sources with flags:
– CTS changes
– LIN break detection
– Transmit data register empty
– Transmission complete
– Receive data register full
– Idle line received
– Overrun error
– Framing error
– Noise error
– Parity error
• Multiprocessor communication - enter into mute mode if address match does not occur
• Wake up from mute mode (by idle line detection or address mark detection)
• Two receiver wakeup modes: Address bit (MSB, 9th bit), Idle line

19.3 USART functional description

The interface is externally connected to another device by three pins (see Figure 167). Any
USART bidirectional communication requires a minimum of two pins: Receive Data In (RX)
and Transmit Data Out (TX):
RX: Receive Data Input is the serial data input. Oversampling techniques are used for data
recovery by discriminating between valid incoming data and noise.
TX: Transmit Data Output. When the transmitter is disabled, the output pin returns to its I/O
port configuration. When the transmitter is enabled and nothing is to be transmitted, the TX
pin is at high level. In single-wire and smartcard modes, this I/O is used to transmit and
receive the data (at USART level, data are then received on SW_RX).

506/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 Universal synchronous asynchronous receiver transmitter (USART)

Through these pins, serial data is transmitted and received in normal USART mode as
frames comprising:
• An Idle Line prior to transmission or reception
• A start bit
• A data word (8 or 9 bits) least significant bit first
• 0.5,1, 1.5, 2 Stop bits indicating that the frame is complete
• This interface uses a fractional baud rate generator - with a 12-bit mantissa and 4-bit
fraction
• A status register (USART_SR)
• Data Register (USART_DR)
• A baud rate register (USART_BRR) - 12-bit mantissa and 4-bit fraction.
• A Guardtime Register (USART_GTPR) in case of Smartcard mode.
Refer to Section 19.6: USART registers on page 547 for the definitions of each bit.
The following pin is required to interface in synchronous mode:
• CK: Transmitter clock output. This pin outputs the transmitter data clock for
synchronous transmission corresponding to SPI master mode (no clock pulses on start
bit and stop bit, and a software option to send a clock pulse on the last data bit). In
parallel data can be received synchronously on RX. This can be used to control
peripherals that have shift registers (e.g. LCD drivers). The clock phase and polarity
are software programmable. In smartcard mode, CK can provide the clock to the
smartcard.
The following pins are required in Hardware flow control mode:
• CTS: Clear To Send blocks the data transmission at the end of the current transfer
when high
• RTS: Request to send indicates that the USART is ready to receive a data (when low).

19.3.1 USART character description

Word length may be selected as being either 8 or 9 bits by programming the M bit in the
USART_CR1 register (see Figure 168).
The TX pin is in low state during the start bit. It is in high state during the stop bit.
An Idle character is interpreted as an entire frame of “1”s followed by the start bit of the
next frame which contains data (The number of “1” ‘s will include the number of stop bits).
A Break character is interpreted on receiving “0”s for a frame period. At the end of the
break frame the transmitter inserts either 1 or 2 stop bits (logic “1” bit) to acknowledge the
start bit.
Transmission and reception are driven by a common baud rate generator, the clock for each
is generated when the enable bit is set respectively for the transmitter and receiver.
The details of each block is given below.

19.3.2 Transmitter
The transmitter can send data words of either 8 or 9 bits depending on the M bit status.
When the transmit enable bit (TE) is set, 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 on the TX pin. In this
mode, the USART_DR register consists of a buffer (TDR) between the internal bus and the
transmit shift register (see Figure 167).
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 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.
• 0.5 stop bit: To be used when receiving data in Smartcard mode.
• 1.5 stop bits: To be used when transmitting and receiving data in Smartcard mode.
An idle frame transmission will include the stop bits.
A break transmission will be 10 low bits followed by the configured number of stop bits
(when m = 0) and 11 low bits followed by the configured number of stop bits (when m = 1). It
is not possible to transmit long breaks (break of length greater than 10/11 low bits).

Procedure:
1. Enable the USART by writing the UE bit in USART_CR1 register to 1.
2. Program the M bit in USART_CR1 to define the word length.
3. Program the number of stop bits in USART_CR2.
4. Select DMA enable (DMAT) in USART_CR3 if Multi buffer Communication is to take
place. Configure the DMA register as explained in multibuffer communication.
5. Select the desired baud rate using the USART_BRR register.
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_DR 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_DR 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 data register.
The TXE bit is set by hardware and it indicates:
• The data has been moved from TDR to the shift register and the data transmission has
started.
• The TDR register is empty.
• The next data can be written in the USART_DR register without overwriting the
previous data.
This flag generates an interrupt if the TXEIE bit is set.

RM0383 Rev 3 511/844

557
Universal synchronous asynchronous receiver transmitter (USART) RM0383

When a transmission is taking place, a write instruction to the USART_DR register stores
the data in the TDR register and which is copied in the shift register at the end of the current
transmission.
When no transmission is taking place, a write instruction to the USART_DR register places
the data directly in the shift register, the data transmission starts, and the TXE bit is
immediately set.
If a frame 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 into the USART_DR 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 170: TC/TXE behavior when transmitting).
The TC bit is cleared by the following software sequence:
1. A read from the USART_SR register

Break characters
Setting the SBK bit transmits a break character. The break frame length depends on the M
bit (see Figure 168).
If the SBK bit is set to ‘1 a break character is sent on the TX line after completing the current
character transmission. This bit is reset by hardware when the break character is completed
(during the stop bit of the break character). The USART inserts a logic 1 bit at the end of the
last break frame to guarantee the recognition of the start bit of the next frame.
Note: If the software resets the SBK bit before the commencement of break transmission, the
break character will not be transmitted. For two consecutive breaks, the SBK bit should be
set after the stop bit of the previous break.

Idle characters
Setting the TE bit drives the USART to send an idle frame before the first data frame.

19.3.3 Receiver
The USART can receive data words of either 8 or 9 bits depending on the M bit in the
USART_CR1 register.

Start bit detection

The start bit detection sequence is the same when oversampling by 16 or by 8.
In the USART, the start bit is detected when a specific sequence of samples is recognized.
This sequence is: 1 1 1 0 X 0 X 0 X 0 0 0 0.

Figure 171. 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 NE noise
flag is set if, for both samplings, at least 2 out of the 3 sampled bits are at 0 (sampling on the

RM0383 Rev 3 513/844

Universal synchronous asynchronous receiver transmitter (USART) RM0383

3rd, 5th and 7th bits and sampling on the 8th, 9th and 10th bits). If this condition is not met,
the start detection aborts and the receiver returns to the idle state (no flag is set).
If, 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, the start bit is validated but the NE noise
flag bit is set.

Character reception
During an USART reception, data shifts in least significant bit first through the RX pin. In this
mode, the USART_DR register consists of a buffer (RDR) between the internal bus and the
received shift register.
Procedure:
1. Enable the USART by writing the UE bit in USART_CR1 register to 1.
2. Program the M bit in USART_CR1 to define the word length.
3. Program the number of stop bits in USART_CR2.
4. Select DMA enable (DMAR) in USART_CR3 if multibuffer communication is to take
place. Configure the DMA register as explained in multibuffer communication. STEP 3
5. Select the desired baud rate using the baud rate register USART_BRR
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. It indicates 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.
• In multibuffer, RXNE is set after every byte received and is cleared by the DMA read to
the Data Register.
• In single buffer mode, clearing the RXNE bit is performed by a software read to the
USART_DR register. The RXNE flag can also be cleared by writing a zero to it. The
RXNE bit must be cleared before the end of the reception of the next character to avoid
an overrun error.
Note: The RE bit should not be reset while receiving data. If the RE bit is disabled during
reception, the reception of the current byte will be aborted.

Break character
When a break character is received, the USART handles it as a framing error.

Idle character
When an idle frame is detected, there is the same procedure as a data received character
plus an interrupt if the IDLEIE bit is set.

514/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 Universal synchronous asynchronous receiver transmitter (USART)

Overrun error
An overrun error occurs when a character is received when RXNE has not been reset. Data
can not be transferred from the shift register to the RDR register until the RXNE bit is
cleared.
The RXNE flag is set after every byte received. An overrun error occurs if RXNE flag is set
when the next data is received or the previous DMA request has not been serviced. When
an overrun error occurs:
• The ORE bit is set.
• The RDR content will not be lost. The previous data is available when a read to
USART_DR is performed.
• The shift register will be overwritten. After that point, any data received during overrun
is lost.
• An interrupt is generated if either the RXNEIE bit is set or both the EIE and DMAR bits
are set.
• The ORE bit is reset by a read to the USART_SR register followed by a USART_DR
register read operation.
Note: 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. It may also occur
when the new data is received during the reading sequence (between the USART_SR
register read access and the USART_DR read access).

Selecting the proper oversampling method

The receiver implements different user-configurable oversampling techniques (except in
synchronous mode) for data recovery by discriminating between valid incoming data and
noise.
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 172 and
Figure 173).
Depending on the application:
• select oversampling by 8 (OVER8=1) to achieve higher speed (up to fPCLK/8). In this
case the maximum receiver tolerance to clock deviation is reduced (refer to
Section 19.3.5: USART receiver tolerance to clock deviation on page 528)
• 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 fPCLK/16

RM0383 Rev 3 515/844

Universal synchronous asynchronous receiver transmitter (USART) RM0383

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 72) 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 19.3.5: USART
receiver tolerance to clock deviation on page 528). 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_DR register.
• No interrupt is generated in case of single byte communication. However this bit rises
at the same time as the RXNE bit which itself generates an interrupt. 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 a USART_SR register read operation followed by a USART_DR
register read operation.
Note: Oversampling by 8 is not available in the Smartcard, IrDA and LIN 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_DR register.
• No interrupt is generated in case of single byte communication. However this bit rises
at the same time as the RXNE bit which itself generates an interrupt. 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 a USART_SR register read operation followed by a USART_DR
register read operation.

Configurable stop bits during reception

The number of stop bits to be received can be configured through the control bits of Control
Register 2 - it can be either 1 or 2 in normal mode and 0.5 or 1.5 in Smartcard mode.
1. 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.
2. 1 stop bit: Sampling for 1 stop Bit is done on the 8th, 9th and 10th samples.
3. 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 bit. 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 bit 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 19.3.11: Smartcard on
page 537 for more details.
4. 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.

19.3.4 Fractional 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 Mantissa and Fraction values of USARTDIV.

Equation 1: Baud rate for standard USART (SPI mode included)

f CK
Tx/Rx baud = -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8 × ( 2 – OVER8 ) × USARTDIV

Equation 2: Baud rate in Smartcard, LIN and IrDA modes

f CK
Tx/Rx baud = ----------------------------------------------
16 × USARTDIV

USARTDIV is an unsigned fixed point number that is coded on the USART_BRR register.
• When OVER8=0, the fractional part is coded on 4 bits and programmed by the
DIV_fraction[3:0] bits in the USART_BRR register
• When OVER8=1, the fractional part is coded on 3 bits and programmed by the
DIV_fraction[2:0] bits in the USART_BRR register, and bit DIV_fraction[3] must be kept
cleared.
Note: 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.

How to derive USARTDIV from USART_BRR register values when OVER8=0

Example 1:
If DIV_Mantissa = 0d27 and DIV_Fraction = 0d12 (USART_BRR = 0x1BC), then
Mantissa (USARTDIV) = 0d27
Fraction (USARTDIV) = 12/16 = 0d0.75
Therefore USARTDIV = 0d27.75

Example 2:
To program USARTDIV = 0d25.62
This leads to:
DIV_Fraction = 16*0d0.62 = 0d9.92
The nearest real number is 0d10 = 0xA
DIV_Mantissa = mantissa (0d25.620) = 0d25 = 0x19
Then, USART_BRR = 0x19A hence USARTDIV = 0d25.625

Example 3:
To program USARTDIV = 0d50.99
This leads to:
DIV_Fraction = 16*0d0.99 = 0d15.84
The nearest real number is 0d16 = 0x10 => overflow of DIV_frac[3:0] => carry must be
added up to the mantissa
DIV_Mantissa = mantissa (0d50.990 + carry) = 0d51 = 0x33
Then, USART_BRR = 0x330 hence USARTDIV = 0d51.000

How to derive USARTDIV from USART_BRR register values when OVER8=1

Example 1:
If DIV_Mantissa = 0x27 and DIV_Fraction[2:0]= 0d6 (USART_BRR = 0x1B6), then
Mantissa (USARTDIV) = 0d27
Fraction (USARTDIV) = 6/8 = 0d0.75
Therefore USARTDIV = 0d27.75
Example 2:
To program USARTDIV = 0d25.62
This leads to:
DIV_Fraction = 8*0d0.62 = 0d4.96
The nearest real number is 0d5 = 0x5
DIV_Mantissa = mantissa (0d25.620) = 0d25 = 0x19

RM0383 Rev 3 519/844

Universal synchronous asynchronous receiver transmitter (USART) RM0383

Then, USART_BRR = 0x195 => USARTDIV = 0d25.625

Example 3:
To program USARTDIV = 0d50.99
This leads to:
DIV_Fraction = 8*0d0.99 = 0d7.92
The nearest real number is 0d8 = 0x8 => overflow of the DIV_frac[2:0] => carry must be
added up to the mantissa
DIV_Mantissa = mantissa (0d50.990 + carry) = 0d51 = 0x33
Then, USART_BRR = 0x0330 => USARTDIV = 0d51.000

19.3.5 USART receiver tolerance to clock deviation

The USART asynchronous receiver works correctly only if the total clock system deviation is
smaller than the USART receiver’s tolerance. The causes which contribute to the total
deviation are:
• DTRA: Deviation due to the transmitter error (which also includes the deviation of the
transmitter’s local oscillator)
• DQUANT: Error due to the baud rate quantization of the receiver
• DREC: Deviation of the receiver’s local oscillator
• DTCL: Deviation due to the transmission line (generally due to the transceivers which
can introduce an asymmetry between the low-to-high transition timing and the high-to-
low transition timing)
DTRA + DQUANT + DREC + DTCL < USART receiver’s tolerance
The USART receiver’s tolerance to properly receive data is equal to the maximum tolerated
deviation and depends on the following choices:
• 10- or 11-bit character length defined by the M bit in the USART_CR1 register
• oversampling by 8 or 16 defined by the OVER8 bit in the USART_CR1 register
• use of fractional baud rate or not
• use of 1 bit or 3 bits to sample the data, depending on the value of the ONEBIT bit in
the USART_CR3 register

Note: The figures specified in Table 83 and Table 84 may slightly differ in the special case when
the received frames contain some Idle frames of exactly 10-bit times when M=0 (11-bit times
when M=1).

19.3.6 Multiprocessor communication

There is a possibility of performing multiprocessor communication with the USART (several
USARTs connected in a network). For instance one of the USARTs can be the master, its TX
output is connected to the RX input of the other USART. The others are slaves, their
respective TX outputs are logically ANDed together and connected to the RX input of the
master.
In multiprocessor configurations it is often desirable that only the intended message
recipient should actively receive the full message contents, thus reducing redundant USART
service overhead for all non addressed receivers.
The non addressed devices may be placed in mute mode by means of the muting function.
In mute mode:
• None of the reception status bits can be set.
• All the receive interrupts are inhibited.
• The RWU bit in USART_CR1 register is set to 1. RWU can be controlled automatically
by hardware or written by the software under certain conditions.
The USART can enter or exit from mute mode using one of two methods, depending on the
WAKE bit in the USART_CR1 register:
• Idle Line detection if the WAKE bit is reset,
• Address Mark detection if the WAKE bit is set.

Idle line detection (WAKE=0)

The USART enters mute mode when the RWU bit is written to 1.
It wakes up when an Idle frame is detected. Then the RWU bit is cleared by hardware but
the IDLE bit is not set in the USART_SR register. RWU can also be written to 0 by software.
An example of mute mode behavior using Idle line detection is given in Figure 174.

Address mark detection (WAKE=1)

In this mode, bytes are recognized as addresses if their MSB is a ‘1 else they are
considered as data. In an address byte, the address of the targeted receiver is put on the 4
LSB. This 4-bit word is compared by the receiver with its own address which is programmed
in the ADD bits in the USART_CR2 register.
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 nor DMA request is issued as the
USART would have entered mute mode.
It exits from mute mode when an address character is received which matches the
programmed address. Then the RWU bit is cleared and subsequent bytes are received
normally. The RXNE bit is set for the address character since the RWU bit has been
cleared.
The RWU bit can be written to as 0 or 1 when the receiver buffer contains no data (RXNE=0
in the USART_SR register). Otherwise the write attempt is ignored.
An example of mute mode behavior using address mark detection is given in Figure 175.

19.3.7 Parity control

Parity control (generation of parity bit in transmission and parity checking in reception) can
be enabled by setting the PCE bit in the USART_CR1 register. Depending on the frame
length defined by the M bit, the possible USART frame formats are as listed in Table 85.

Table 85. Frame formats

M bit PCE bit USART frame(1)

0 0 | SB | 8 bit data | STB |

0 1 | SB | 7-bit data | PB | STB |
1 0 | SB | 9-bit data | STB |
1 1 | SB | 8-bit data PB | STB |
1. Legends: SB: start bit, STB: stop bit, PB: parity bit.

Even parity
The parity bit is calculated to obtain an even number of “1s” inside the frame made of the 7
or 8 LSB bits (depending on whether M is equal to 0 or 1) and the parity bit.
E.g.: data=00110101; 4 bits set => parity bit will be 0 if even parity is selected (PS bit in
USART_CR1 = 0).

Odd parity
The parity bit is calculated to obtain an odd number of “1s” inside the frame made of the 7 or
8 LSB bits (depending on whether M is equal to 0 or 1) and the parity bit.
E.g.: data=00110101; 4 bits set => 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_SR register and an interrupt is
generated if PEIE is set in the USART_CR1 register. The PE flag is cleared by a software
sequence (a read from the status register followed by a read or write access to the
USART_DR data register).
Note: In case of wakeup by an address mark: the MSB bit of the data is taken into account to
identify an address but not the parity bit. And the receiver does not check the parity of the
address data (PE is not set in case of a parity error).

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)).
Note: The software routine that manages the transmission can activate the software sequence
which clears the PE flag (a read from the status register followed by a read or write access
to the data register). When operating in half-duplex mode, depending on the software, this
can cause the PE flag to be unexpectedly cleared.

19.3.8 LIN (local interconnection network) mode

The LIN mode is selected by setting the LINEN bit in the USART_CR2 register. In LIN
mode, the following bits must be kept cleared:
• STOP[1:0] and CLKEN in the USART_CR2 register
• SCEN, HDSEL and IREN in the USART_CR3 register.

LIN transmission
The same procedure explained in Section 19.3.2 has to be applied for LIN Master
transmission than for normal USART transmission with the following differences:
• Clear the M bit to configure 8-bit word length.
• Set the LINEN bit to enter LIN mode. In this case, setting the SBK bit sends 13 ‘0 bits
as a break character. Then a bit of value ‘1 is sent to allow the next start detection.

LIN reception
A break detection circuit is implemented on the USART interface. 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 LBD flag is set in USART_SR. 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 176: Break detection in LIN mode (11-bit break length - LBDL bit is set) on page 533.
Examples of break frames are given on Figure 177: Break detection in LIN mode vs.
Framing error detection on page 534.

19.3.9 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.
The USART allows the user to control a 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 will or will not be generated during the last valid data bit
(address mark). The CPOL bit in the USART_CR2 register allows the user to select the
clock polarity, and the CPHA bit in the USART_CR2 register allows the user to select the
phase of the external clock (see Figure 178, Figure 179 & Figure 180).
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 time).
Note: The CK pin works in conjunction with the TX pin. Thus, the clock is provided only if the
transmitter is enabled (TE=1) and a data is being transmitted (the data register USART_DR

534/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 Universal synchronous asynchronous receiver transmitter (USART)

has been written). This means that it is not possible to receive a synchronous data without
transmitting data.
The LBCL, CPOL and CPHA bits have to be selected when both the transmitter and the
receiver are disabled (TE=RE=0) to ensure that the clock pulses function correctly. These
bits should not be changed while the transmitter or the receiver is enabled.
It is advised that TE and RE are set in the same instruction in order to minimize the setup
and the hold time of the receiver.
The USART supports master mode only: it cannot receive or send data related to an input
clock (CK is always an output).

Note: The function of CK is different in Smartcard mode. Refer to the Smartcard mode chapter for
more details.

19.3.10 Single-wire half-duplex communication

The 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 ‘HALF DUPLEX SEL’ (HDSEL in USART_CR3).

536/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 Universal synchronous asynchronous receiver transmitter (USART)

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 floating input (or output high open-drain) when not driven by the USART.
Apart from this, the communications are similar to what is done in normal USART mode.
The conflicts on the line must be managed by the software (by the use of a centralized
arbiter, for instance). In particular, the transmission is never blocked by hardware and
continue to occur as soon as a data is written in the data register while the TE bit is set.

19.3.11 Smartcard
The 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 Smartcards as
defined in the ISO 7816-3 standard. The USART should be configured as:
• 8 bits plus parity: where M=1 and PCE=1 in the USART_CR1 register
• 1.5 stop bits when transmitting and receiving: where STOP=11 in the USART_CR2
register.
Note: It is also possible to choose 0.5 stop bit for receiving but it is recommended to use 1.5 stop
bits for both transmitting and receiving to avoid switching between the two configurations.
Figure 182 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 is a single wire half duplex communication protocol.
• Transmission of data from the transmit shift register is guaranteed to be delayed by a
minimum of 1/2 baud clock. In normal operation a full transmit shift register will start

RM0383 Rev 3 537/844

557
Universal synchronous asynchronous receiver transmitter (USART) RM0383

shifting on the next baud clock edge. In Smartcard mode this transmission is further
delayed by a guaranteed 1/2 baud clock.
• If a parity error is detected during reception of a frame programmed with a 0.5 or 1.5
stop bit 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 USART has not been correctly received. This NACK signal (pulling
transmit line low for 1 baud clock) will cause a framing error on the transmitter side
(configured with 1.5 stop bits). The application can handle re-sending of data according
to the protocol. A parity error is ‘NACK’ed by the receiver if the NACK control bit is set,
otherwise a NACK is not transmitted.
• The assertion of the TC flag can be delayed by programming the Guard Time register.
In normal operation, TC is asserted when the transmit shift register is empty and no
further transmit requests are outstanding. In Smartcard mode an empty transmit shift
register triggers the guard time counter to count up to the programmed value in the
Guard Time register. TC is forced low during this time. When the guard time counter
reaches the programmed value TC is asserted high.
• The de-assertion of TC flag is unaffected by Smartcard mode.
• If a framing error is detected on the transmitter end (due to a NACK from the receiver),
the NACK will not be detected as a start bit by the receive block of the transmitter.
According to the ISO protocol, the duration of the received NACK can be 1 or 2 baud
clock periods.
• On the receiver side, if a parity error is detected and a NACK is transmitted the receiver
will not detect the NACK as a start bit.
Note: A break character is not significant in Smartcard mode. A 0x00 data with a framing error will
be 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 183 details how the NACK signal is sampled by the USART. In this example the
USART is transmitting a data and is configured with 1.5 stop bits. The receiver part of the
USART is enabled in order to check the integrity of the data and the NACK signal.

The USART can provide a clock to the smartcard through the 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

538/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 Universal synchronous asynchronous receiver transmitter (USART)

prescaler register USART_GTPR. CK frequency can be programmed from fCK/2 to fCK/62,

where fCK is the peripheral input clock.

19.3.12 IrDA SIR ENDEC block

The 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 184).
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 115.2Kbps for the SIR ENDEC. In normal
mode the transmitted pulse width is specified as 3/16 of a bit period.
The SIR receive decoder demodulates the return-to-zero bit stream from the infrared
detector and outputs the received NRZ serial bit stream to USART. The decoder input is
normally HIGH (marking state) in the Idle state. The transmit encoder output has the
opposite polarity to the decoder input. A start bit is detected when the decoder input is low.
• IrDA is a half duplex communication protocol. If the Transmitter is busy (i.e. the USART
is sending data to the IrDA encoder), any data on the IrDA receive line will be ignored
by the IrDA decoder and if the Receiver is busy (USART is receiving decoded data
from the USART), data on the TX from the USART to IrDA will not be encoded by IrDA.
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 185).
• The SIR decoder converts the IrDA compliant receive signal into a bit stream for
USART.
• The SIR receive logic interprets a high state as a logic one and low pulses as logic
zeros.
• The transmit encoder output has the opposite polarity to the decoder input. The SIR
output is in low state when Idle.
• The IrDA specification requires the acceptance of pulses greater than 1.41 us. 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 IrDA low-power Baud Register, 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”.

RM0383 Rev 3 539/844

557
Universal synchronous asynchronous receiver transmitter (USART) RM0383

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. A valid low is accepted only if
its duration is greater than 2 periods of the IrDA low-power Baud clock (PSC value in
USART_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).

19.3.13 Continuous communication using DMA

The USART is capable of continuous communication using the DMA. The DMA requests for
Rx buffer and Tx buffer are generated independently.

Transmission using DMA

DMA mode can be enabled for transmission by setting DMAT bit in the USART_CR3
register. Data is loaded from a SRAM area configured using the DMA peripheral (refer to the
DMA specification) to the USART_DR register whenever the TXE bit is set. To map a DMA
channel for USART transmission, use the following procedure (x denotes the channel
number):
1. Write the USART_DR register address in the DMA control register to configure it as the
destination of the transfer. The data will be moved to this address from memory after
each TXE event.
2. Write the memory address in the DMA control register to configure it as the source of
the transfer. The data will be loaded into the USART_DR register from this memory
area after each TXE event.
3. Configure the total number of bytes to be transferred to the DMA control register.
4. Configure the channel priority in the DMA register
5. Configure DMA interrupt generation after half/ full transfer as required by the
application.
6. Clear the TC bit in the SR register by writing 0 to it.
7. Activate the channel in the DMA register.
When the 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
communication is complete. This is required to avoid corrupting the last transmission before
disabling the USART or entering the Stop mode. The software must wait until TC=1. The TC
flag remains cleared during all data transfers and it is set by hardware at the last frame’s
end of transmission.

Reception using DMA

DMA mode can be enabled for reception by setting the DMAR bit in USART_CR3 register.
Data is loaded from the USART_DR register to a SRAM area configured using the DMA
peripheral (refer to the DMA specification) whenever a data byte is received. To map a DMA
channel for USART reception, use the following procedure:
1. Write the USART_DR register address in the DMA control register to configure it as the
source of the transfer. The data will be moved from this address to the memory after
each RXNE event.
2. Write the memory address in the DMA control register to configure it as the destination
of the transfer. The data will be loaded from USART_DR to this memory area after each
RXNE event.
3. Configure the total number of bytes to be transferred in the DMA control register.
4. Configure the channel priority in the DMA control register
5. Configure interrupt generation after half/ full transfer as required by the application.
6. Activate the channel in the DMA control 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. The DMAR bit should
be cleared by software in the USART_CR3 register during the interrupt subroutine.

Error flagging and interrupt generation in multibuffer communication

In case of multibuffer communication if any error occurs during the transaction the error flag
will be asserted after the current byte. An interrupt will be generated if the interrupt enable
flag is set. For framing error, overrun error and noise flag which are asserted with RXNE in
case of single byte reception, there will be separate error flag interrupt enable bit (EIE bit in
the USART_CR3 register), which if set will issue an interrupt after the current byte with
either of these errors.

19.3.14 Hardware flow control

It is possible to control the serial data flow between 2 devices by using the CTS input and
the RTS output. The Figure 188 shows how to connect 2 devices in this mode:

RTS and CTS flow control can be enabled independently by writing respectively RTSE and
CTSE bits to 1 (in the USART_CR3 register).

RM0383 Rev 3 543/844

Universal synchronous asynchronous receiver transmitter (USART) RM0383

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 189 shows an example of communication with RTS flow control enabled.

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 a data is to be transmitted, in other words, if TXE=0), else the
transmission does not occur. When CTS is deasserted 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. The figure
below shows an example of communication with CTS flow control enabled.

This bit is set by hardware when the CTS input toggles, if the CTSE bit is set. It is cleared by
software (by writing it to 0). An interrupt is generated if CTSIE=1 in the USART_CR3
register.
Note: 0: No change occurred on the CTS status line
1: A change occurred on the CTS status line
Bit 8 LBD: LIN break detection flag
This bit is set by hardware when the LIN break is detected. It is cleared by software (by
writing it to 0). An interrupt is generated if LBDIE = 1 in the USART_CR2 register.
0: LIN Break not detected

Bit 7 TXE: Transmit data register empty

This bit is set by hardware when the content of the TDR register has been transferred into
the shift register. An interrupt is generated if the TXEIE bit =1 in the USART_CR1 register. It
is cleared by a write to the USART_DR register.
0: Data is not transferred to the shift register
1: Data is transferred to the shift register)
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
a software sequence (a read from the USART_SR register followed by a write to the
USART_DR register). The TC bit can also be cleared by writing a '0' to it. This clearing
sequence is recommended only for multibuffer communication.
0: Transmission is not complete
1: Transmission is complete
Bit 5 RXNE: Read data register not empty
This bit is set by hardware when the content of the RDR shift register has been transferred
to the USART_DR register. An interrupt is generated if RXNEIE=1 in the USART_CR1
register. It is cleared by a read to the USART_DR register. The RXNE flag can also be
cleared by writing a zero to it. This clearing sequence is recommended only for multibuffer
communication.
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 the
IDLEIE=1 in the USART_CR1 register. It is cleared by a software sequence (an read to the
USART_SR register followed by a read to the USART_DR register).
0: No Idle Line is detected
1: Idle Line is detected
Note: The IDLE bit will not be set again until the RXNE bit has been set itself (i.e. a new idle
line occurs).
Bit 3 ORE: Overrun error
This bit is set by hardware when the word currently being received in the shift register is
ready to be transferred into the RDR register while RXNE=1. An interrupt is generated if
RXNEIE=1 in the USART_CR1 register. It is cleared by a software sequence (an read to the
USART_SR register followed by a read to the USART_DR register).
0: No Overrun error
1: Overrun error is detected
Note: When this bit is set, the RDR register content will not be lost but the shift register will be
overwritten. An interrupt is generated on ORE flag in case of Multi Buffer
communication if the EIE bit is set.

548/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 Universal synchronous asynchronous receiver transmitter (USART)

Bit 2 NF: Noise detected flag

This bit is set by hardware when noise is detected on a received frame. It is cleared by a
software sequence (an read to the USART_SR register followed by a read to the
USART_DR register).
0: No noise is detected
1: Noise is detected
Note: This bit does not generate interrupt as it appears at the same time as the RXNE bit
which itself generates an interrupting interrupt is generated on NF flag in case of Multi
Buffer 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 19.3.5: USART
receiver tolerance to clock deviation on page 528).
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 a software sequence (an read to the USART_SR register
followed by a read to the USART_DR register).
0: No Framing error is detected
1: Framing error or break character is detected
Note: This bit does not generate interrupt as it appears at the same time as the RXNE bit
which itself generates an interrupt. If the word currently being transferred causes both
frame error and overrun error, it will be transferred and only the ORE bit will be set.
An interrupt is generated on FE flag in case of Multi Buffer communication if the EIE bit
is set.
Bit 0 PE: Parity error
This bit is set by hardware when a parity error occurs in receiver mode. It is cleared by a
software sequence (a read from the status register followed by a read or write access to the
USART_DR data register). The software must wait for the RXNE flag to be set before
clearing the PE bit.
An interrupt is generated if PEIE = 1 in the USART_CR1 register.
0: No parity error
1: Parity error

19.6.2 Data register (USART_DR)

Address offset: 0x04
Reset value: 0xXXXX XXXX
Bits 31:9 Reserved, must be kept at reset value
Bits 8:0 DR[8:0]: Data value
Contains the Received or Transmitted data character, depending on whether it is read from
or written to.
The Data register performs a double function (read and write) since it is composed of two
registers, one for transmission (TDR) and one for reception (RDR)
The TDR register provides the parallel interface between the internal bus and the output shift
register (see Figure 1).
The RDR register provides the parallel interface between the input shift register and the
internal bus.
When transmitting with the parity enabled (PCE bit set to 1 in the USART_CR1 register), the
value written in the MSB (bit 7 or bit 8 depending on the data length) has no effect because
it is replaced by the parity.
When receiving with the parity enabled, the value read in the MSB bit is the received parity
bit.

20 Serial peripheral interface (SPI)

20.1 SPI introduction

The SPI interface provides two main functions, supporting either the SPI protocol or the I2S
audio protocol. By default, it is the SPI function that is selected. It is possible to switch the
interface from SPI to I2S by software.
The serial peripheral interface (SPI) allows half/ full-duplex, synchronous, serial
communication with external devices. The interface can be configured as the master and in
this case it provides the communication clock (SCK) to the external slave device. The
interface is also capable of operating in multimaster configuration.
It may be used for a variety of purposes, including simplex synchronous transfers on two
lines with a possible bidirectional data line or reliable communication using CRC checking.
The I2S is also a synchronous serial communication interface. It can address four different
audio standards including the I2S Philips standard, the MSB- and LSB-justified standards,
and the PCM standard. It can operate as a slave or a master device in full-duplex mode
(using 4 pins) or in half-duplex mode (using 3 pins). Master clock can be provided by the
interface to an external slave component when the I2S is configured as the communication
master.

Warning: Since some SPI1 and SPI3/I2S3 pins may be mapped onto
some pins used by the JTAG interface (SPI1_NSS onto JTDI,
SPI3_NSS/I2S3_WS onto JTDI and SPI3_SCK/I2S3_CK onto
JTDO), you may either:
– map SPI/I2S onto other pins
– disable the JTAG and use the SWD interface prior to
configuring the pins listed as SPI I/Os (when debugging the
application) or
– disable both JTAG/SWD interfaces (for standalone
applications).
For more information on the configuration of the JTAG/SWD
interface pins, please refer to Section 8.3.2: I/O pin
multiplexer and mapping.

Usually, the SPI is connected to external devices through four pins:

• MISO: Master In / Slave Out data. This pin can be used to transmit data in slave mode
and receive data in master mode.
• MOSI: Master Out / Slave In data. This pin can be used to transmit data in master
mode and receive data in slave mode.
• SCK: Serial Clock output for SPI masters and input for SPI slaves.
• NSS: Slave select. This is an optional pin to select a slave device. This pin acts as a
‘chip select’ to let the SPI master communicate with slaves individually and to avoid
contention on the data lines. Slave NSS inputs can be driven by standard IO ports on
the master device. The NSS pin may also be used as an output if enabled (SSOE bit)
and driven low if the SPI is in master configuration. In this manner, all NSS pins from
devices connected to the Master NSS pin see a low level and become slaves when
they are configured in NSS hardware mode. When configured in master mode with
NSS configured as an input (MSTR=1 and SSOE=0) and if NSS is pulled low, the SPI
enters the master mode fault state: the MSTR bit is automatically cleared and the
device is configured in slave mode (refer to Section 20.3.10).
A basic example of interconnections between a single master and a single slave is
illustrated in Figure 193.

1. Here, the NSS pin is configured as an input.

The MOSI pins are connected together and the MISO pins are connected together. In this
way data is transferred serially between master and slave (most significant bit first).
The communication is always initiated by the master. When the master device transmits
data to a slave device via the MOSI pin, the slave device responds via the MISO pin. This
implies full-duplex communication with both data out and data in synchronized with the
same clock signal (which is provided by the master device via the SCK pin).

Slave select (NSS) pin management

Hardware or software slave select management can be set using the SSM bit in the
SPI_CR1 register.
• Software NSS management (SSM = 1)
The slave select information is driven internally by the value of the SSI bit in the
SPI_CR1 register. The external NSS pin remains free for other application uses.
• Hardware NSS management (SSM = 0)
Two configurations are possible depending on the NSS output configuration (SSOE bit
in register SPI_CR2).
– NSS output enabled (SSM = 0, SSOE = 1)
This configuration is used only when the device operates in master mode. The
NSS signal is driven low when the master starts the communication and is kept
low until the SPI is disabled.
– NSS output disabled (SSM = 0, SSOE = 0)
This configuration allows multimaster capability for devices operating in master
mode. For devices set as slave, the NSS pin acts as a classical NSS input: the
slave is selected when NSS is low and deselected when NSS high.

Clock phase and clock polarity

Four possible timing relationships may be chosen by software, using the CPOL and CPHA
bits in the SPI_CR1 register. The CPOL (clock polarity) bit controls the steady state value of
the clock when no data is being transferred. This bit affects both master and slave modes. If
CPOL is reset, 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 (clock phase) bit is set, the second edge on the SCK pin (falling edge if the
CPOL bit is reset, rising edge if the CPOL bit is set) is the MSBit capture strobe. Data are

562/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 Serial peripheral interface (SPI)

latched on the occurrence of the second clock transition. If the CPHA bit is reset, the first
edge on the SCK pin (falling edge if CPOL bit is set, rising edge if CPOL bit is reset) is the
MSBit capture strobe. Data are latched on the occurrence of the first clock transition.
The combination of the CPOL (clock polarity) and CPHA (clock phase) bits selects the data
capture clock edge.
Figure 194, shows an SPI transfer with the four combinations of the CPHA and CPOL bits.
The diagram may be interpreted as a master or slave timing diagram where the SCK pin,
the MISO pin, the MOSI pin are directly connected between the master and the slave
device.
Note: Prior to changing the CPOL/CPHA bits the SPI must be disabled by resetting the SPE bit.
Master and slave must be programmed with the same timing mode.
The idle state of SCK must correspond to the polarity selected in the SPI_CR1 register (by
pulling up SCK if CPOL=1 or pulling down SCK if CPOL=0).
The Data Frame Format (8- or 16-bit) is selected through the DFF bit in SPI_CR1 register,
and determines the data length during transmission/reception.

1. These timings are shown with the LSBFIRST bit reset in the SPI_CR1 register.

Data frame format

Data can be shifted out either MSB-first or LSB-first depending on the value of the
LSBFIRST bit in the SPI_CR1 Register.
Each data frame is 8 or 16 bits long depending on the size of the data programmed using
the DFF bit in the SPI_CR1 register. The selected data frame format is applicable for
transmission and/or reception.

20.3.2 Configuring the SPI in slave mode

In the slave configuration, the serial clock is received on the SCK pin from the master
device. The value set in the BR[2:0] bits in the SPI_CR1 register, does not affect the data
transfer rate.

564/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 Serial peripheral interface (SPI)

Note: 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 needs to be ready
before the first edge of the communication clock or before the end of the ongoing
communication. It is mandatory to have the polarity of the communication clock set to the
steady state value before the slave and the master are enabled.
Follow the procedure below to configure the SPI in slave mode:

Procedure
1. Set the DFF bit to define 8- or 16-bit data frame format
2. Select the CPOL and CPHA bits to define one of the four relationships between the
data transfer and the serial clock (see Figure 194). For correct data transfer, the CPOL
and CPHA bits must be configured in the same way in the slave device and the master
device. This step is not required when the TI mode is selected through the FRF bit in
the SPI_CR2 register.
3. The frame format (MSB-first or LSB-first depending on the value of the LSBFIRST bit in
the SPI_CR1 register) must be the same as the master device. This step is not
required when TI mode is selected.
4. In Hardware mode (refer to Slave select (NSS) pin management), the NSS pin must be
connected to a low level signal during the complete byte transmit sequence. In NSS
software mode, set the SSM bit and clear the SSI bit in the SPI_CR1 register. This step
is not required when TI mode is selected.
5. Set the FRF bit in the SPI_CR2 register to select the TI mode protocol for serial
communications.
6. Clear the MSTR bit and set the SPE bit (both in the SPI_CR1 register) to assign the
pins to alternate functions.
In this configuration the MOSI pin is a data input and the MISO pin is a data output.

Transmit sequence
The data byte is parallel-loaded into the Tx buffer during a write cycle.
The transmit sequence begins when the slave device receives the clock signal and the most
significant bit of the data on its MOSI pin. The remaining bits (the 7 bits in 8-bit data frame
format, and the 15 bits in 16-bit data frame format) are loaded into the shift-register. The
TXE flag in the SPI_SR register is set on the transfer of data from the Tx Buffer to the shift
register and an interrupt is generated if the TXEIE bit in the SPI_CR2 register is set.

Receive sequence
For the receiver, when data transfer is complete:
• The Data in shift register is transferred to Rx Buffer and the RXNE flag (SPI_SR
register) is set
• An Interrupt is generated if the RXNEIE bit is set in the SPI_CR2 register.
After the last sampling clock edge the RXNE bit is set, a copy of the data byte received in
the shift register is moved to the Rx buffer. When the SPI_DR register is read, the SPI
peripheral returns this buffered value.
Clearing of the RXNE bit is performed by reading the SPI_DR register.

SPI TI protocol in slave mode

In slave mode, the SPI interface is compatible with the TI protocol. The FRF bit of the
SPI_CR2 register can be used to configure the slave SPI serial communications 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 SPI_CR1 register. NSS management is also specific to the TI protocol
which makes the configuration of NSS management through the SPI_CR1 and SPI_CR2
registers (such as SSM, SSI, SSOE) transparent for the user.
In Slave mode (Figure 195: TI mode - Slave mode, single transfer and Figure 196: TI mode
- Slave mode, continuous transfer), the SPI baud rate prescaler is used to control the
moment when the MISO pin state changes to HI-Z. Any baud rate can be used thus allowing
to determine this moment with optimal flexibility. However, the baud rate is generally set to
the external master clock baud rate. The time for the MISO signal to become HI-Z (trelease)
depends on internal resynchronizations and on the baud rate value set in through BR[2:0] of
SPI_CR1 register. It is given by the formula:

t baud_rate t baud_rate
---------------------------- + 4 × t < t < ---------------------------- + 6 × t
2 pclk release 2 pclk

Note: This feature is not available for Motorola SPI communications (FRF bit set to 0).
To detect TI frame errors in Slave transmitter only mode by using the Error interrupt (ERRIE
= 1), the SPI must be configured in 2-line unidirectional mode by setting BIDIMODE and
BIDIOE to 1 in the SPI_CR1 register. When BIDIMODE is set to 0, OVR is set to 1 because
the data register is never read and error interrupt are always generated, while when
BIDIMODE is set to 1, data are not received and OVR is never set.

20.3.3 Configuring the SPI in master mode

In the master configuration, the serial clock is generated on the SCK pin.

Procedure
1. Select the BR[2:0] bits to define the serial clock baud rate (see SPI_CR1 register).
2. Select the CPOL and CPHA bits to define one of the four relationships between the
data transfer and the serial clock (see Figure 194). This step is not required when the
TI mode is selected.
3. Set the DFF bit to define 8- or 16-bit data frame format
4. Configure the LSBFIRST bit in the SPI_CR1 register to define the frame format. This
step is not required when the TI mode is selected.
5. If the NSS pin is required in input mode, in hardware mode, connect the NSS pin to a
high-level signal during the complete byte transmit sequence. In NSS software mode,
set the SSM and SSI bits in the SPI_CR1 register. If the NSS pin is required in output
mode, the SSOE bit only should be set. This step is not required when the TI mode is
selected.
6. Set the FRF bit in SPI_CR2 to select the TI protocol for serial communications.
7. The MSTR and SPE bits must be set (they remain set only if the NSS pin is connected
to a high-level signal).
In this configuration the MOSI pin is a data output and the MISO pin is a data input.

Transmit sequence
The transmit sequence begins when a byte is written in the Tx Buffer.
The data byte is parallel-loaded into the shift register (from the internal bus) during the first
bit transmission and then shifted out serially to the MOSI pin MSB first or LSB first
depending on the LSBFIRST bit in the SPI_CR1 register. The TXE flag is set on the transfer
of data from the Tx Buffer to the shift register and an interrupt is generated if the TXEIE bit in
the SPI_CR2 register is set.

RM0383 Rev 3 567/844

610
Serial peripheral interface (SPI) RM0383

Receive sequence
For the receiver, when data transfer is complete:
• The data in the shift register is transferred to the RX Buffer and the RXNE flag is set
• An interrupt is generated if the RXNEIE bit is set in the SPI_CR2 register
At the last sampling clock edge the RXNE bit is set, a copy of the data byte received in the
shift register is moved to the Rx buffer. When the SPI_DR register is read, the SPI
peripheral returns this buffered value.
Clearing the RXNE bit is performed by reading the SPI_DR register.
A continuous transmit stream can be maintained if the next data to be transmitted is put in
the Tx buffer once the transmission is started. Note that TXE flag should be ‘1 before any
attempt to write the Tx buffer is made.
Note: When a master is communicating with SPI slaves which need to be de-selected between
transmissions, the NSS pin must be configured as GPIO or another GPIO must be used and
toggled by software.

SPI TI protocol in master mode

In master mode, the SPI interface is compatible with the TI protocol. The FRF bit of the
SPI_CR2 register can be used to configure the master SPI serial communications 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 SPI_CR1 register. NSS management is also specific to the TI protocol
which makes the configuration of NSS management through the SPI_CR1 and SPI_CR2
registers (SSM, SSI, SSOE) transparent for the user.
Figure 197: TI mode - master mode, single transfer and Figure 198: TI mode - master mode,

selected in master mode.

20.3.4 Configuring the SPI for half-duplex communication

The SPI is capable of operating in half-duplex mode in 2 configurations.
• 1 clock and 1 bidirectional data wire
• 1 clock and 1 data wire (receive-only or transmit-only)

1 clock and 1 bidirectional data wire (BIDIMODE = 1)

This mode is enabled by setting the BIDIMODE bit in the SPI_CR1 register. In this mode
SCK is used for the clock and MOSI in master or MISO in slave mode is used for data
communication. The transfer direction (Input/Output) is selected by the BIDIOE bit in the
SPI_CR1 register. When this bit is 1, the data line is output otherwise it is input.

1 clock and 1 unidirectional data wire (BIDIMODE = 0)

In this mode, the application can use the SPI either in transmit-only mode or in receive-only
mode.
• Transmit-only mode is similar to full-duplex mode (BIDIMODE=0, RXONLY=0): the
data are transmitted on the transmit pin (MOSI in master mode or MISO in slave mode)
and the receive pin (MISO in master mode or MOSI in slave mode) can be used as a
general-purpose IO. In this case, the application just needs to ignore the Rx buffer (if
the data register is read, it does not contain the received value).
• In receive-only mode, the application can disable the SPI output function by setting the
RXONLY bit in the SPI_CR1 register. In this case, it frees the transmit IO pin (MOSI in
master mode or MISO in slave mode), so it can be used for other purposes.
To start the communication in receive-only mode, configure and enable the SPI:
• In master mode, the communication starts immediately and stops when the SPE bit is
cleared and the current reception stops. There is no need to read the BSY flag in this
mode. It is always set when an SPI communication is ongoing.
• In slave mode, the SPI continues to receive as long as the NSS is pulled down (or the
SSI bit is cleared in NSS software mode) and the SCK is running.

20.3.5 Data transmission and reception procedures

Rx and Tx buffers
In reception, data are received and then stored into an internal Rx buffer while In
transmission, data are first stored into an internal Tx buffer before being transmitted.
A read access of the SPI_DR register returns the Rx buffered value whereas a write access
to the SPI_DR stores the written data into the Tx buffer.

Start sequence in master mode

• In full-duplex (BIDIMODE=0 and RXONLY=0)
– The sequence begins when data are written into the SPI_DR register (Tx buffer).
– The data are then parallel loaded from the Tx buffer into the 8-bit shift register
during the first bit transmission and then shifted out serially to the MOSI pin.
– At the same time, the received data on the MISO pin is shifted in serially to the 8-
bit shift register and then parallel loaded into the SPI_DR register (Rx buffer).
• In unidirectional receive-only mode (BIDIMODE=0 and RXONLY=1)
– The sequence begins as soon as SPE=1
– Only the receiver is activated and the received data on the MISO pin are shifted in
serially to the 8-bit shift register and then parallel loaded into the SPI_DR register
(Rx buffer).
• In bidirectional mode, when transmitting (BIDIMODE=1 and BIDIOE=1)
– The sequence begins when data are written into the SPI_DR register (Tx buffer).
– The data are then parallel loaded from the Tx buffer into the 8-bit shift register
during the first bit transmission and then shifted out serially to the MOSI pin.
– No data are received.
• In bidirectional mode, when receiving (BIDIMODE=1 and BIDIOE=0)
– The sequence begins as soon as SPE=1 and BIDIOE=0.
– The received data on the MOSI pin are shifted in serially to the 8-bit shift register
and then parallel loaded into the SPI_DR register (Rx buffer).
– The transmitter is not activated and no data are shifted out serially to the MOSI
pin.

Start sequence in slave mode

• In full-duplex mode (BIDIMODE=0 and RXONLY=0)
– The sequence begins when the slave device receives the clock signal and the first
bit of the data on its MOSI pin. The 7 remaining bits are loaded into the shift
register.
– At the same time, the data are parallel loaded from the Tx buffer into the 8-bit shift
register during the first bit transmission, and then shifted out serially to the MISO

570/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 Serial peripheral interface (SPI)

pin. The software must have written the data to be sent before the SPI master
device initiates the transfer.
• In unidirectional receive-only mode (BIDIMODE=0 and RXONLY=1)
– The sequence begins when the slave device receives the clock signal and the first
bit of the data on its MOSI pin. The 7 remaining bits are loaded into the shift
register.
– The transmitter is not activated and no data are shifted out serially to the MISO
pin.
• In bidirectional mode, when transmitting (BIDIMODE=1 and BIDIOE=1)
– The sequence begins when the slave device receives the clock signal and the first
bit in the Tx buffer is transmitted on the MISO pin.
– The data are then parallel loaded from the Tx buffer into the 8-bit shift register
during the first bit transmission and then shifted out serially to the MISO pin. The
software must have written the data to be sent before the SPI master device
initiates the transfer.
– No data are received.
• In bidirectional mode, when receiving (BIDIMODE=1 and BIDIOE=0)
– The sequence begins when the slave device receives the clock signal and the first
bit of the data on its MISO pin.
– The received data on the MISO pin are shifted in serially to the 8-bit shift register
and then parallel loaded into the SPI_DR register (Rx buffer).
– The transmitter is not activated and no data are shifted out serially to the MISO
pin.

Handling data transmission and reception

The TXE flag (Tx buffer empty) is set when the data are transferred from the Tx buffer to the
shift register. It indicates that the internal Tx buffer is ready to be loaded with the next data.
An interrupt can be generated if the TXEIE bit in the SPI_CR2 register is set. Clearing the
TXE bit is performed by writing to the SPI_DR register.
Note: The software must ensure that the TXE flag is set to 1 before attempting to write to the Tx
buffer. Otherwise, it overwrites the data previously written to the Tx buffer.
The RXNE flag (Rx buffer not empty) is set on the last sampling clock edge, when the data
are transferred from the shift register to the Rx buffer. It indicates that data are ready to be
read from the SPI_DR register. An interrupt can be generated if the RXNEIE bit in the
SPI_CR2 register is set. Clearing the RXNE bit is performed by reading the SPI_DR
register.
For some configurations, the BSY flag can be used during the last data transfer to wait until
the completion of the transfer.
Full-duplex transmit and receive procedure in master or slave mode (BIDIMODE=0 and
RXONLY=0)
The software has to follow this procedure to transmit and receive data (see Figure 199 and
Figure 200):

RM0383 Rev 3 571/844

610
Serial peripheral interface (SPI) RM0383

1. Enable the SPI by setting the SPE bit to 1.

2. Write the first data item to be transmitted into the SPI_DR register (this clears the TXE
flag).
3. Wait until TXE=1 and write the second data item to be transmitted. Then wait until
RXNE=1 and read the SPI_DR to get the first received data item (this clears the RXNE
bit). Repeat this operation for each data item to be transmitted/received until the n–1
received data.

5. Wait until TXE=1 and then wait until BSY=0 before disabling the SPI.
This procedure can also be implemented using dedicated interrupt subroutines launched at
each rising edges of the RXNE or TXE flag.

Transmit-only procedure (BIDIMODE=0 RXONLY=0)

In this mode, the procedure can be reduced as described below and the BSY bit can be
used to wait until the completion of the transmission (see Figure 201 and Figure 202).
1. Enable the SPI by setting the SPE bit to 1.
2. Write the first data item to send into the SPI_DR register (this clears the TXE bit).
3. Wait until TXE=1 and write the next data item to be transmitted. Repeat this step for
each data item to be transmitted.
4. After writing the last data item into the SPI_DR register, wait until TXE=1, then wait until
BSY=0, this indicates that the transmission of the last data is complete.
This procedure can be also implemented using dedicated interrupt subroutines launched at
each rising edge of the TXE flag.
Note: During discontinuous communications, there is a 2 APB clock period delay between the
write operation to SPI_DR and the BSY bit setting. As a consequence, in transmit-only
mode, it is mandatory to wait first until TXE is set and then until BSY is cleared after writing
the last data.
After transmitting two data items in transmit-only mode, the OVR flag is set in the SPI_SR
register since the received data are never read.

Bidirectional transmit procedure (BIDIMODE=1 and BIDIOE=1)

In this mode, the procedure is similar to the procedure in Transmit-only mode except that
the BIDIMODE and BIDIOE bits both have to be set in the SPI_CR2 register before enabling
the SPI.

Unidirectional receive-only procedure (BIDIMODE=0 and RXONLY=1)

In this mode, the procedure can be reduced as described below (see Figure 203):

574/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 Serial peripheral interface (SPI)

1. Set the RXONLY bit in the SPI_CR1 register.

2. Enable the SPI by setting the SPE bit to 1:
a) In master mode, this immediately activates the generation of the SCK clock, and
data are serially received until the SPI is disabled (SPE=0).
b) In slave mode, data are received when the SPI master device drives NSS low and
generates the SCK clock.
3. Wait until RXNE=1 and read the SPI_DR register to get the received data (this clears
the RXNE bit). Repeat this operation for each data item to be received.
This procedure can also be implemented using dedicated interrupt subroutines launched at
each rising edge of the RXNE flag.
Note: If it is required to disable the SPI after the last transfer, follow the recommendation
described in Section 20.3.8: Disabling the SPI.

Bidirectional receive procedure (BIDIMODE=1 and BIDIOE=0)

In this mode, the procedure is similar to the Receive-only mode procedure except that the
BIDIMODE bit has to be set and the BIDIOE bit cleared in the SPI_CR2 register before
enabling the SPI.

Continuous and discontinuous transfers

When transmitting data in master mode, if the software is fast enough to detect each rising
edge of TXE (or TXE interrupt) and to immediately write to the SPI_DR register before the
ongoing data transfer is complete, the communication is said to be continuous. In this case,
there is no discontinuity in the generation of the SPI clock between each data item and the
BSY bit is never cleared between each data transfer.
On the contrary, if the software is not fast enough, this can lead to some discontinuities in
the communication. In this case, the BSY bit is cleared between each data transmission
(see Figure 204).
In Master receive-only mode (RXONLY=1), the communication is always continuous and
the BSY flag is always read at 1.

RM0383 Rev 3 575/844

610
Serial peripheral interface (SPI) RM0383

In slave mode, the continuity of the communication is decided by the SPI master device. In
any case, even if the communication is continuous, the BSY flag goes low between each
transfer for a minimum duration of one SPI clock cycle (see Figure 202).

20.3.6 CRC calculation

A CRC calculator has been implemented for communication reliability. Separate CRC
calculators are implemented for transmitted data and received data. The CRC is calculated
using a programmable polynomial serially on each bit. It is calculated on the sampling clock
edge defined by the CPHA and CPOL bits in the SPI_CR1 register.
Note: This SPI offers two kinds of CRC calculation standard which depend directly on the data
frame format selected for the transmission and/or reception: 8-bit data (CR8) and 16-bit data
(CRC16).
CRC calculation is enabled by setting the CRCEN bit in the SPI_CR1 register. This action
resets the CRC registers (SPI_RXCRCR and SPI_TXCRCR). In full duplex or transmitter
only mode, when the transfers are managed by the software (CPU mode), it is necessary to
write the bit CRCNEXT immediately after the last data to be transferred is written to the
SPI_DR. At the end of this last data transfer, the SPI_TXCRCR value is transmitted.
In receive only mode and when the transfers are managed by software (CPU mode), it is
necessary to write the CRCNEXT bit after the second last data has been received. The CRC
is received just after the last data reception and the CRC check is then performed.
At the end of data and CRC transfers, the CRCERR flag in the SPI_SR register is set if
corruption occurs during the transfer.
If data are present in the TX buffer, the CRC value is transmitted only after the transmission
of the data byte. During CRC transmission, the CRC calculator is switched off and the
register value remains unchanged.
SPI communication using the CRC is possible through the following procedure:

576/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 Serial peripheral interface (SPI)

1. Program the CPOL, CPHA, LSBFirst, BR, SSM, SSI and MSTR values.
2. Program the polynomial in the SPI_CRCPR register.
3. Enable the CRC calculation by setting the CRCEN bit in the SPI_CR1 register. This
also clears the SPI_RXCRCR and SPI_TXCRCR registers.
4. Enable the SPI by setting the SPE bit in the SPI_CR1 register.
5. Start the communication and sustain the communication until all but one byte or half-
word have been transmitted or received.
– In full duplex or transmitter-only mode, when the transfers are managed by
software, when writing the last byte or half word to the Tx buffer, set the
CRCNEXT bit in the SPI_CR1 register to indicate that the CRC will be transmitted
after the transmission of the last byte.
– In receiver only mode, set the bit CRCNEXT just after the reception of the second
to last data to prepare the SPI to enter in CRC Phase at the end of the reception of
the last data. CRC calculation is frozen during the CRC transfer.
6. After the transfer of the last byte or half word, the SPI enters the CRC transfer and
check phase. In full duplex mode or receiver-only mode, the received CRC is
compared to the SPI_RXCRCR value. If the value does not match, the CRCERR flag in
SPI_SR is set and an interrupt can be generated when the ERRIE bit in the SPI_CR2
register is set.
Note: When the SPI is in slave mode, be careful to enable CRC calculation only when the clock is
stable, that is, when the clock is in the steady state. If not, a wrong CRC calculation may be
done. In fact, the CRC is sensitive to the SCK slave input clock as soon as CRCEN is set,
and this, whatever the value of the SPE bit.
With high bitrate frequencies, be careful when transmitting the CRC. As the number of used
CPU cycles has to be as low as possible in the CRC transfer phase, it is forbidden to call
software functions in the CRC transmission sequence to avoid errors in the last data and
CRC reception. In fact, CRCNEXT bit has to be written before the end of the
transmission/reception of the last data.
For high bit rate frequencies, it is advised to use the DMA mode to avoid the degradation of
the SPI speed performance due to CPU accesses impacting the SPI bandwidth.
When the devices are configured as slaves and the NSS hardware mode is used, the NSS
pin needs to be kept low between the data phase and the CRC phase.
When the SPI is configured in slave mode with the CRC feature enabled, CRC calculation
takes place even if a high level is applied on the NSS pin. This may happen for example in
case of a multislave environment where the communication master addresses slaves
alternately.
Between a slave deselection (high level on NSS) and a new slave selection (low level on
NSS), the CRC value should be cleared on both master and slave sides in order to
resynchronize the master and slave for their respective CRC calculation.
To clear the CRC, follow the procedure below:
1. Disable SPI (SPE = 0)
2. Clear the CRCEN bit
3. Set the CRCEN bit
4. Enable the SPI (SPE = 1)

20.3.7 Status flags

Four status flags are provided for the application to completely monitor the state of the SPI
bus.

Tx buffer empty flag (TXE)

When it is set, this flag indicates that the Tx buffer is empty and the next data to be
transmitted can be loaded into the buffer. The TXE flag is cleared when writing to the
SPI_DR register.

Rx buffer not empty (RXNE)

When set, this flag indicates that there are valid received data in the Rx buffer. It is cleared
when SPI_DR is read.

BUSY flag
This BSY flag is set and cleared by hardware (writing to this flag has no effect). The BSY
flag indicates the state of the communication layer of the SPI.
When BSY is set, it indicates that the SPI is busy communicating. There is one exception in
master mode / bidirectional receive mode (MSTR=1 and BDM=1 and BDOE=0) where the
BSY flag is kept low during reception.
The BSY flag is useful to detect the end of a transfer if the software wants to disable the SPI
and enter Halt mode (or disable the peripheral clock). This avoids corrupting the last
transfer. For this, the procedure described below must be strictly respected.
The BSY flag is also useful to avoid write collisions in a multimaster system.
The BSY flag is set when a transfer starts, with the exception of master mode / bidirectional
receive mode (MSTR=1 and BDM=1 and BDOE=0).
It is cleared:
• when a transfer is finished (except in master mode if the communication is continuous)
• when the SPI is disabled
• when a master mode fault occurs (MODF=1)
When communication is not continuous, the BSY flag is low between each communication.
When communication is continuous:
• in master mode, the BSY flag is kept high during all the transfers
• in slave mode, the BSY flag goes low for one SPI clock cycle between each transfer
Note: Do not use the BSY flag to handle each data transmission or reception. It is better to use the
TXE and RXNE flags instead.

578/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 Serial peripheral interface (SPI)

20.3.8 Disabling the SPI

When a transfer is terminated, the application can stop the communication by disabling the
SPI peripheral. This is done by clearing the SPE bit.
For some configurations, disabling the SPI and entering the Halt mode while a transfer is
ongoing can cause the current transfer to be corrupted and/or the BSY flag might become
unreliable.
To avoid any of those effects, it is recommended to respect the following procedure when
disabling the SPI:

In master or slave full-duplex mode (BIDIMODE=0, RXONLY=0)

1. Wait until RXNE=1 to receive the last data
2. Wait until TXE=1
3. Then wait until BSY=0
4. Disable the SPI (SPE=0) and, eventually, enter the Halt mode (or disable the peripheral
clock)

In master or slave unidirectional transmit-only mode (BIDIMODE=0,

RXONLY=0) or bidirectional transmit mode (BIDIMODE=1, BIDIOE=1)
After the last data is written into the SPI_DR register:
1. Wait until TXE=1
2. Then wait until BSY=0
3. Disable the SPI (SPE=0) and, eventually, enter the Halt mode (or disable the peripheral
clock)

In master unidirectional receive-only mode (MSTR=1, BIDIMODE=0,

RXONLY=1) or bidirectional receive mode (MSTR=1, BIDIMODE=1, BIDIOE=0)
This case must be managed in a particular way to ensure that the SPI does not initiate a
new transfer. The sequence below is valid only for SPI Motorola configuration (FRF bit set to
0):
1. Wait for the second to last occurrence of RXNE=1 (n–1)
2. Then wait for one SPI clock cycle (using a software loop) before disabling the SPI
(SPE=0)
3. Then wait for the last RXNE=1 before entering the Halt mode (or disabling the
peripheral clock)
When the SPI is configured in TI mode (Bit FRF set to 1), the following procedure has to be
respected to avoid generating an undesired pulse on NSS when the SPI is disabled:
1. Wait for the second to last occurrence of RXNE = 1 (n-1).
2. Disable the SPI (SPE = 0) in the following window frame using a software loop:
– After at least one SPI clock cycle,
– Before the beginning of the LSB data transfer.
Note: In master bidirectional receive mode (MSTR=1 and BDM=1 and BDOE=0), the BSY flag is
kept low during transfers.

RM0383 Rev 3 579/844

610
Serial peripheral interface (SPI) RM0383

In slave receive-only mode (MSTR=0, BIDIMODE=0, RXONLY=1) or

bidirectional receive mode (MSTR=0, BIDIMODE=1, BIDOE=0)
1. You can disable the SPI (write SPE=1) at any time: the current transfer will complete
before the SPI is effectively disabled
2. Then, if you want to enter the Halt mode, you must first wait until BSY = 0 before
entering the Halt mode (or disabling the peripheral clock).

20.3.9 SPI communication using DMA (direct memory addressing)

To operate at its maximum speed, the SPI needs to be fed with the data for transmission
and the data received on the Rx buffer should be read to avoid overrun. To facilitate the
transfers, the SPI features a DMA capability implementing a simple request/acknowledge
protocol.
A DMA access is requested when the enable bit in the SPI_CR2 register is enabled.
Separate requests must be issued to the Tx and Rx buffers (see Figure 205 and
Figure 206):
• In transmission, a DMA request is issued each time TXE is set to 1. The DMA then
writes to the SPI_DR register (this clears the TXE flag).
• In reception, a DMA request is issued each time RXNE is set to 1. The DMA then reads
the SPI_DR register (this clears the RXNE flag).
When the SPI is used only to transmit data, it is possible to enable only the SPI Tx DMA
channel. In this case, the OVR flag is set because the data received are not read.
When the SPI is used only to receive data, it is possible to enable only the SPI Rx DMA
channel.
In transmission mode, when the DMA has written all the data to be transmitted (flag TCIF is
set in the DMA_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 TXE=1 and
then until BSY=0.
Note: During discontinuous communications, there is a 2 APB clock period delay between the
write operation to SPI_DR and the BSY bit setting. As a consequence, it is mandatory to
wait first until TXE=1 and then until BSY=0 after writing the last data.

DMA capability with CRC

When SPI communication is enabled with CRC communication and DMA mode, the
transmission and reception of the CRC at the end of communication are automatic that is
without using the bit CRCNEXT. After the CRC reception, the CRC must be read in the
SPI_DR register to clear the RXNE flag.
At the end of data and CRC transfers, the CRCERR flag in SPI_SR is set if corruption
occurs during the transfer.

20.3.10 Error flags

Master mode fault (MODF)
Master mode fault occurs when the master device has its NSS pin pulled low (in NSS
hardware mode) or SSI bit low (in NSS software mode), this automatically sets the MODF
bit. Master mode fault affects the SPI peripheral in the following ways:
• The MODF bit is set and an SPI interrupt is generated if the ERRIE bit is set.
• The SPE bit is 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 SPI_SR register while the MODF bit is set.
2. Then write to the SPI_CR1 register.
To avoid any multiple slave conflicts in a system comprising several MCUs, the NSS pin
must be pulled high during the MODF bit clearing sequence. The SPE and MSTR bits can
be restored to their original state after this clearing sequence.
As a security, hardware does not allow the setting of the SPE and MSTR bits while the
MODF bit is set.
In a slave device the MODF bit cannot be set. However, in a multimaster configuration, the
device can be in slave mode with this MODF bit set. In this case, the MODF bit indicates
that there might have been a multimaster conflict for system control. An interrupt routine can
be used to recover cleanly from this state by performing a reset or returning to a default
state.

Overrun condition
An overrun condition occurs when the master device has sent data bytes and the slave
device has not cleared the RXNE bit resulting from the previous data byte transmitted.
When an overrun condition occurs:
• the OVR bit is set and an interrupt is generated if the ERRIE bit is set.
In this case, the receiver buffer contents will not be updated with the newly received data
from the master device. A read from the SPI_DR register returns this byte. All other
subsequently transmitted bytes are lost.
Clearing the OVR bit is done by a read from the SPI_DR register followed by a read access
to the SPI_SR register.

582/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 Serial peripheral interface (SPI)

CRC error
This flag is used to verify the validity of the value received when the CRCEN bit in the
SPI_CR1 register is set. The CRCERR flag in the SPI_SR register is set if the value
received in the shift register does not match the receiver SPI_RXCRCR value.

TI mode frame format error

A TI mode frame format error is detected when an NSS pulse occurs during an ongoing
communication when the SPI is acting in slave mode and configured to conform to the TI
mode protocol. When this error occurs, the FRE flag is set in the SPI_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 lost of two data bytes.
The FRE flag is cleared when SPI_SR register is read. If the bit ERRIE is set, an interrupt is
generated on the NSS error detection. In this case, the SPI should be disabled because
data consistency is no more guaranteed and communications should be reinitiated by the
master when the slave SPI is re-enabled.

1. I2S2ext_SD and I2S3ext_SD are the extended SD pins that control the I2S full duplex mode.
The SPI could function as an audio I2S interface when the I2S capability is enabled
(by
setting the I2SMOD bit in the SPI_I2SCFGR register). This interface uses almost the same
pins, flags and interrupts as the SPI.

584/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 Serial peripheral interface (SPI)

The I2S shares three common pins with the SPI:

• SD: Serial Data (mapped on the MOSI pin) to transmit or receive the two time-
multiplexed 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.
• I2S2ext_SD and I2S3ext_SD: additional pins (mapped on the MISO pin) to control the
I2S full duplex mode.
An additional pin could 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 SPI_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 SPI_I2SPR and the other one is a generic I2S configuration register
SPI_I2SCFGR (audio standard, slave/master mode, data format, packet frame, clock
polarity, etc.).
The SPI_CR1 register and all CRC registers are not used in the I2S mode. Likewise, the
SSOE bit in the SPI_CR2 register and the MODF and CRCERR bits in the SPI_SR are not
used.
The I2S uses the same SPI register for data transfer (SPI_DR) in 16-bit wide mode.

20.4.2 I2S full duplex

To support I2S full duplex mode, two extra I2S instances called extended I2Ss (I2S2_ext,
I2S3_ext) are available in addition to I2S2 and I2S3 (see Figure 209). The first I2S full-
duplex interface is consequently based on I2S2 and I2S2_ext, and the second one on I2S3
and I2S3_ext.
Note: I2S2_ext an I2S3_ext are used only in full-duplex mode.

I2Sx can operate in master mode. As a result:

• Only I2Sx can output SCK and WS in half duplex mode
• Only I2Sx can deliver SCK and WS to I2S2_ext and I2S3_ext in full duplex mode.
The extended I2Ss (I2Sx_ext) can be used only in full duplex mode. The I2Sx_ext operate
always in slave mode.
Both I2Sx and I2Sx_ext can be configured as transmitters or receivers.

20.4.3 Supported audio protocols

The four-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 the
transmission and the reception. So, it is up to the software to write into the data register the
adequate value corresponding to the considered channel side, or to read the data from the
data register and to identify the corresponding channel by checking the CHSIDE bit in the
SPI_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 16-bit frame
• 16-bit data packed in 32-bit frame
• 24-bit data packed in 32-bit frame
• 32-bit data packed in 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
SPI_DR or two DMA operations if the DMA is preferred for the application. For 24-bit data
frame specifically, the 8 nonsignificant 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
PCMSYNC bits in the SPI_I2SCFGR register.

I2S Philips standard

For this standard, the WS signal is used to indicate which channel is being transmitted. It is
activated one CK clock cycle before the first bit (MSB) is available.

When 16-bit data frame extended to 32-bit channel frame is selected during the I2S
configuration phase, only one access to SPI_DR 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
operation shown in Figure 215 is required.

Figure 215. Example

069

For transmission, each time an MSB is written to SPI_DR, the TXE flag is set and its
interrupt, if allowed, is generated to load SPI_DR 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.

When 16-bit data frame extended to 32-bit channel frame is selected during the I2S
configuration phase, Only one access to SPI_DR is required. The 16 remaining bits are
forced by hardware to 0x0000 to extend the data to 32-bit format. In this case it corresponds
to the half-word MSB.
If the data to transmit or the received data are 0x76A3 (0x0000 76A3 extended to 32-bit),
the operation shown in Figure 224 is required.

In transmission mode, when TXE is asserted, the application has to write the data to be
transmitted (in this case 0x76A3). The 0x000 field is transmitted first (extension on 32-bit).
TXE is asserted 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

Note: For both modes (master and slave) and for both synchronizations (short and long), the
number of bits between two consecutive pieces of data (and so two synchronization signals)
needs to be specified (DATLEN and CHLEN bits in the SPI_I2SCFGR register) even in
slave mode.

20.4.4 Clock generator

The I2S bitrate determines the dataflow on the I2S data line and the I2S clock signal
frequency.
I2S bitrate = number of bits per channel × number of channels × sampling audio frequency
For a 16-bit audio, left and right channel, the I2S bitrate is calculated as follows:
I2S bitrate = 16 × 2 × FS
It will be: I2S bitrate = 32 x 2 x FS if the packet length is 32-bit wide.

1. Where x could be 2 or 3.
Figure 227 presents the communication clock architecture. To achieve high-quality audio
performance, the I2SxCLK clock source can be either the PLLI2S output (through R division
factor) or an external clock (mapped to I2S_CKIN pin).
The audio sampling frequency can be 192 kHz, 96 kHz, or 48 kHz. In order to reach the
desired frequency, the linear divider needs to be programmed according to the formulas
below:
When the master clock is generated (MCKOE in the SPI_I2SPR register is set):
FS = I2SxCLK / [(16*2)*((2*I2SDIV)+ODD)*8)] when the channel frame is 16-bit wide
FS = I2SxCLK / [(32*2)*((2*I2SDIV)+ODD)*4)] when the channel frame is 32-bit wide
When the master clock is disabled (MCKOE bit cleared):
FS = I2SxCLK / [(16*2)*((2*I2SDIV)+ODD))] when the channel frame is 16-bit wide
FS = I2SxCLK / [(32*2)*((2*I2SDIV)+ODD))] when the channel frame is 32-bit wide

20.4.5 I2S master mode

The I2S can be configured as follows:
• In master mode for transmission or reception (half-duplex mode using I2Sx)
• In master mode transmission and reception (full duplex mode using I2Sx and
I2Sx_ext).
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, thanks to the MCKOE bit in the
SPI_I2SPR register.

594/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 Serial peripheral interface (SPI)

Procedure
1. Select the I2SDIV[7:0] bits in the SPI_I2SPR register to define the serial clock baud
rate to reach the proper audio sample frequency. The ODD bit in the SPI_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 SPI_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 20.4.4: Clock generator).
3. Set the I2SMOD bit in SPI_I2SCFGR to activate the I2S functionalities 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 SPI_I2SCFGR register.
4. If needed, select all the potential interruption sources and the DMA capabilities by
writing the SPI_CR2 register.
5. The I2SE bit in SPI_I2SCFGR register must be set.
WS and CK are configured in output mode. MCK is also an output, if the MCKOE bit in
SPI_I2SPR is set.

Transmission sequence
The transmission sequence begins when a half-word is written into the Tx buffer.
Assumedly, the first data written into the Tx buffer correspond to the channel Left data.
When data are transferred from the Tx buffer to the shift register, TXE is set and data
corresponding to the channel Right 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 SPI_CR2 register is set.
For more details about the write operations depending on the I2S standard mode selected,
refer to Section 20.4.3: Supported audio protocols).
To ensure a continuous audio data transmission, it is mandatory to write the SPI_DR with
the next data to transmit before the end of the current transmission.
To switch off the I2S, by clearing I2SE, it is mandatory to wait for TXE = 1 and BSY = 0.

Reception sequence
The operating mode is the same as for the transmission mode except for the point 3 (refer to
the procedure described in Section 20.4.5: I2S master mode), where the configuration
should set the master reception mode through the I2SCFG[1:0] bits.
Whatever the data or channel length, the audio data are received by 16-bit packets. This
means that each time the Rx buffer is full, the RXNE flag is set and an interrupt is generated

RM0383 Rev 3 595/844

610
Serial peripheral interface (SPI) RM0383

if the RXNEIE bit is set in SPI_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 SPI_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 20.4.3: 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 SPI_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.

20.4.6 I2S slave mode

The I2S can be configured as follows:
• In slave mode for transmission or reception (half-duplex mode using I2Sx)
• In slave mode transmission and reception (full duplex mode using I2Sx and I2Sx_ext).
The operating mode is following mainly the same rules as described for the I2S master
configuration. In slave mode, there is no clock to be generated by the I2S interface. The
clock and WS signals are input from the external master connected to the I2S interface.
There is then no need, for the user, to configure the clock.
The configuration steps to follow are listed below:

596/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 Serial peripheral interface (SPI)

1. Set the I2SMOD bit in the SPI_I2SCFGR register to reach the I2S functionalities 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 SPI_I2SCFGR register.
2. If needed, select all the potential interrupt sources and the DMA capabilities by writing
the SPI_CR2 register.
3. The I2SE bit in SPI_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 SPI_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 20.4.3: Supported audio protocols.
To secure a continuous audio data transmission, it is mandatory to write the SPI_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
SPI_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 SPI_CR2
register, an interrupt is generated when the UDR flag in the SPI_SR register goes high. In
this case, it is mandatory to switch off the I2S and to restart a data transfer starting from the
left channel.
To switch off the I2S, by clearing the I2SE bit, it is mandatory to wait for TXE = 1 and BSY =
0.

Reception sequence
The operating mode is the same as for the transmission mode except for the point 1 (refer to
the procedure described in Section 20.4.6: I2S slave mode), where the configuration should
set the master reception mode using the I2SCFG[1:0] bits in the SPI_I2SCFGR register.

RM0383 Rev 3 597/844

610
Serial peripheral interface (SPI) RM0383

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 SPI_SR
register is set and an interrupt is generated if the RXNEIE bit is set in the SPI_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 SPI_DR. It is
sensitive to the external WS line managed by the external master component.
Clearing the RXNE bit is performed by reading the SPI_DR register.
For more details about the read operations depending the I2S standard mode selected, refer
to Section 20.4.3: Supported audio protocols.
If data are received while the precedent 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 SPI_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 16-
bit or 32-bit packets via an audio channel.

20.4.7 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:
• 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
Note: Do not use the BSY flag to handle each data transmission or reception. It is better to use the
TXE and RXNE flags instead.

598/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 Serial peripheral interface (SPI)

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 SPI_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 SPI_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 SPI_SR is set and the ERRIE bit in SPI_CR2 is also set,
an interrupt is generated. This interrupt can be cleared by reading the SPI_SR status
register (once the interrupt source has been cleared).

20.4.8 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 SPI_DR. It is available when the
I2SMOD bit in SPI_I2SCFGR is set. An interrupt may be generated if the ERRIE bit in
SPI_CR2 is set.
The UDR bit is cleared by a read operation on the SPI_SR register.

Overrun flag (OVR)

This flag is set when data are received and the previous data have not yet been read from
SPI_DR. As a result, the incoming data are lost. An interrupt may be generated if the ERRIE
bit is set in SPI_CR2.
In this case, the receive buffer contents are not updated with the newly received data from
the transmitter device. A read operation to the SPI_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 SPI_DR register followed by a read
access to the SPI_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 at a moment when the slave is not expected this

RM0383 Rev 3 599/844

610
Serial peripheral interface (SPI) RM0383

change. If the synchronization is lost, to recover from this state and resynchronize the
external master device with the I2S slave device, follow the steps below:
1. Disable the I2S
2. Re-enable it when the correct level is detected on the WS line (WS line is high in I2S
mode, or low for MSB- or LSB-justified or PCM modes).
Desynchronization between the master and slave device may be due to noisy environment
on the SCK 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.

20.4.10 DMA features

DMA is working in exactly the same way as for the SPI mode. There is no difference on the
I2S. Only the CRC feature is not available in I2S mode since there is no data transfer
protection system.

Data received or to be transmitted.
The data register is split into 2 buffers - one for writing (Transmit Buffer) and another one for
reading (Receive buffer). A write to the data register will write into the Tx buffer and a read
from the data register will return the value held in the Rx buffer.
Note: These notes apply to SPI mode:
Depending on the data frame format selection bit (DFF in SPI_CR1 register), the data
sent or received is either 8-bit or 16-bit. This selection has to be made before enabling
the SPI to ensure correct operation.
For an 8-bit data frame, the buffers are 8-bit and only the LSB of the register
(SPI_DR[7:0]) is used for transmission/reception. When in reception mode, the MSB of
the register (SPI_DR[15:8]) is forced to 0.
For a 16-bit data frame, the buffers are 16-bit and the entire register, SPI_DR[15:0] is

21 Secure digital input/output interface (SDIO)

21.1 SDIO main features

The SD/SDIO MMC card host interface (SDIO) provides an interface between the APB2
peripheral bus and MultiMediaCards (MMCs), SD memory cards, SDIO cards and CE-ATA
devices.
The MultiMediaCard system specifications are available through the MultiMediaCard
Association website at http://www.jedec.org/, published by the MMCA technical committee.
SD memory card and SD I/O card system specifications are available through the SD card
Association website at http://www.sdcard.org.
CE-ATA system specifications are available through the CE-ATA workgroup website.
The SDIO features include the following:
• 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
• Full support of the CE-ATA features (full compliance with CE-ATA digital protocol
Rev1.1)
• Data transfer up to 50 MHz for the 8 bit mode
• Data and command output enable signals to control external bidirectional drivers.
Note: The SDIO does not have an SPI-compatible communication mode.
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. In addition, several commands are different between
SD memory cards and SD I/O cards and thus are not supported in the SDIO. For details
refer to SD I/O card Specification Version 1.0. CE-ATA is supported over the MMC electrical
interface using a protocol that utilizes the existing MMC access primitives. The interface
electrical and signaling definition is as defined in the MMC reference.
The MultiMediaCard/SD bus connects cards to the controller.
The current version of the SDIO supports only one SD/SDIO/MMC4.2 card at any one time
and a stack of MMC4.1 or previous.

21.2 SDIO 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.

RM0383 Rev 3 611/844

667
Secure digital input/output interface (SDIO) RM0383

Data transfers to/from SD/SDIO memory cards are done in data blocks. Data transfers
to/from MMC are done data blocks or streams. Data transfers to/from the CE-ATA Devices
are done in data blocks.

21.3 SDIO functional description

The SDIO consists of two parts:
• The SDIO 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 SDIO adapter registers, and generates interrupt and
DMA request signals.

By default SDIO_D0 is used for data transfer. After initialization, the host can change the
databus width.
If a MultiMediaCard is connected to the bus, SDIO_D0, SDIO_D[3:0] or SDIO_D[7:0] can be
used for data transfer. MMC V3.31 or previous, supports only 1 bit of data so only SDIO_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 SDIO_D0 or SDIO_D[3:0]. All data lines are operating in push-pull mode.
SDIO_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)
SDIO_CK is the clock to the card: one bit is transferred on both command and data lines
with each clock cycle.
The SDIO uses two clock signals:
• SDIO adapter clock SDIOCLK up to 50 MHz (48 MHz when in use with USB)
• APB2 bus clock (PCLK2)
PCLK2 and SDIO_CK clock frequencies must respect the following condition:

Frequenc ( PCLK2 ) ≥ 3 ⁄ 8 × Frequency ( SDIO_CK )

The signals shown in Table 93 are used on the MultiMediaCard/SD/SD I/O card bus.

The SDIO 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:
• Adapter register block
• Control unit
• Command path
• Data path
• Data FIFO
Note: The adapter registers and FIFO use the APB2 bus clock domain (PCLK2). The control unit,
command path and data path use the SDIO adapter clock domain (SDIOCLK).

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 SDIO 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:
• power-off
• power-up
• power-on

The control unit is illustrated in Figure 236. 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 SDIO_CK signal. The SDIO_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)

• Command path state machine (CPSM)

– 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 238 on
page 618). 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 SDIO_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 SDIO_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 94. CE-ATA commands are an extension
of MMC commands V4.2, and so have the same format.
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
SDIO_CMD output is in the Hi-Z state, as shown in Figure 239 on page 619. Data
on SDIO_CMD are synchronous with the rising edge of SDIO_CK. Table 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 SDIO supports two response types. Both use CRC error checking:
• 48 bit short response
• 136 bit long response
Note: 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 21.9.4 on page 654). The command path
implements the status flags shown in Table 97:

Table 97. Command path status flags

Flag Description
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 Response timeout.
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
(SDIO_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 (SDIO_D[7:0]). If the wide bus mode is not enabled,
only one bit per clock cycle is transferred over SDIO_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 SDIO_CK frequency. Data on the card bus signals is synchronous to
the rising edge of SDIO_CK. The DPSM has six states, as shown in Figure 241: Data path
state machine (DPSM).

• Idle: the data path is inactive, and the SDIO_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
SDIO_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, or a start bit error occurs, 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

622/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 Secure digital input/output interface (SDIO)

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: 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 SDIO_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.

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 SDIO clock domain (SDIOCLK) 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 SDIO 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.

Table 99. Transmit FIFO status flags

Flag 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.
Set to high when 8 or more transmit FIFO words are empty. This flag can be used
TXFIFOHE
as a DMA request.
Set to high when the transmit FIFO contains valid data. This flag is the inverse of
TXDAVL
the TXFIFOE flag.
Set to high when an underrun error occurs. This flag is cleared by writing to the
TXUNDERR
SDIO Clear register.

• 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 100 lists the receive FIFO status flags.
The receive FIFO is accessible via 32 sequential addresses.

21.3.2 SDIO APB2 interface

The APB2 interface generates the interrupt and DMA requests, and accesses the SDIO
adapter registers and the data FIFO. It consists of a data path, register decoder, and
interrupt/DMA logic.

SDIO 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.

SDIO/DMA interface - procedure for data transfers between the SDIO and
memory
In the example shown, the transfer is from the SDIO host controller to an MMC (512 bytes
using CMD24 (WRITE_BLOCK). The SDIO FIFO is filled by data stored in a memory using
the DMA controller.
1. Do the card identification process
2. Increase the SDIO_CK frequency
3. Select the card by sending CMD7
4. Configure the DMA2 as follows:
a) Enable DMA2 controller and clear any pending interrupts.
b) Program the DMA2_Stream3 or DMA2_Stream6 Channel4 source address
register with the memory location’s base address and DMA2_Stream3 or

RM0383 Rev 3 625/844

667
Secure digital input/output interface (SDIO) RM0383

DMA2_Stream6 Channel4 destination address register with the SDIO_FIFO

register address.
c) Program DMA2_Stream3 or DMA2_Stream6 Channel4 control register (memory
increment, not peripheral increment, peripheral and source width is word size).
d) Program DMA2_Stream3 or DMA2_Stream6 Channel4 to select the peripheral as
flow controller (set PFCTRL bit in DMA_S3CR or DMA_S6CR configuration
register).
e) Configure the incremental burst transfer to 4 beats (at least from peripheral side)
in DMA2_Stream3 or DMA2_Stream6 Channel4.
f) Enable DMA2_Stream3 or DMA2_Stream6 Channel4
5. Send CMD24 (WRITE_BLOCK) as follows:
a) Program the SDIO data length register (SDIO data timer register should be
already programmed before the card identification process).
b) Program the SDIO argument register with the address location of the card where
data is to be transferred.
c) Program the SDIO command register: CmdIndex with 24 (WRITE_BLOCK);
WaitResp with ‘1’ (SDIO card host waits for a response); CPSMEN with ‘1’ (SDIO
card host enabled to send a command). Other fields are at their reset value.
d) Wait for SDIO_STA[6] = CMDREND interrupt, then program the SDIO data control
register: DTEN with ‘1’ (SDIO card host enabled to send data); DTDIR with ‘0’
(from controller to card); DTMODE with ‘0’ (block data transfer); DMAEN with ‘1’
(DMA enabled); DBLOCKSIZE with 0x9 (512 bytes). Other fields are don’t care.
e) Wait for SDIO_STA[10] = DBCKEND.
6. Check that no channels are still enabled by polling the DMA Enabled Channel Status
register.

21.4 Card functional description

21.4.1 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.

21.4.2 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 high-
impedance 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).

21.4.3 Operating voltage range validation

All cards can communicate with the SDIO 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.

626/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 Secure digital input/output interface (SDIO)

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 SDIO 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
SDIO card host. The SDIO 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 SDIO
card host can query each card and determine the common voltage range before placing out-
of-range cards in the inactive state. This query is used when the SDIO card host is able to
select a common voltage range or when the user requires notification that cards are not
usable.

21.4.4 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 SDIO_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 SDIO 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 SDIO 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 SDIO
card host and enters the Identification state.
7. The SDIO 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
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 SDIO 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 SDIO_CMD line
output drives are push-pull drivers instead of open-drain. The registration process is
accomplished as follows:

RM0383 Rev 3 627/844

667
Secure digital input/output interface (SDIO) RM0383

1. The bus is activated.

2. The SDIO 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 SDIO 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 SDIO 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
SDIO card host can reissue this command to change the RCA. The RCA of the card is
the last assigned value.
8. The SDIO card host repeats steps 5 through 7 with all active cards.
For the SD I/O card, the registration process is accomplished as follows:
1. The bus is activated.
2. The SDIO 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 SDIO 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
SDIO card host can reissue this command to change the RCA. The RCA of the card is
the last assigned value.

21.4.5 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 SDIO_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.
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 SDIO_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

628/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 Secure digital input/output interface (SDIO)

select a different card), which will place the card in the Disconnect state and release the
SDIO_D line(s) without interrupting the write operation. When selecting the card again, it will
reactivate busy indication by pulling SDIO_D to low if programming is still in progress and
the write buffer is unavailable.

21.4.6 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).

21.4.7 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 SDIO card host to the
card, beginning at the specified address and continuing until the SDIO 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 SD card
host, any additional transferred data are discarded.

RM0383 Rev 3 629/844

667
Secure digital input/output interface (SDIO) RM0383

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
SDIO 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 SDIO 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

• TRANSPEED = maximum data transfer rate
• readbllen = maximum read data block length
• 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.

630/844 RM0383 Rev 3

21.4.8 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 unprotected
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 SDIO_D low. The actual erase
time may be quite long, and the host may issue CMD7 to deselect the card.

21.4.9 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).

21.4.10 Protection management

Three write protection methods for the cards are supported in the SDIO card host module:
1. internal card write protection (card responsibility)
2. mechanical write protection switch (SDIO 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
a data block containing 32 write protection bits (representing 32 write protect groups starting

RM0383 Rev 3 631/844

667
Secure digital input/output interface (SDIO) RM0383

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 SDIO card host module that the card is
write-protected. The SDIO 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 SDIO 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 SDIO 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 SDIO card host module before it sends the card lock/unlock
command, and has the structure shown in Table 114.
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

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.

632/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 Secure digital input/output interface (SDIO)

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 114), 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 SDIO card host module performs all the required steps for setting the password (see
Setting the password on page 632), however it is necessary to set the LOCK_UNLOCK bit
in Step 3 when the new password command is sent.

RM0383 Rev 3 633/844

667
Secure digital input/output interface (SDIO) RM0383

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 114), 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 114) 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.

21.4.11 Card status register

The response format R1 contains a 32-bit field named card status. This field is intended to
transmit the card status information (which may be stored in a local status register) to the
host. If not specified otherwise, the status entries are always related to the previously issued
command.
Table 101 defines the different entries of the status. The type and clear condition fields in
the table are abbreviated as follows:

21.4.13 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 SDIO_D1 when operating in the 4-bit
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 level-
sensitive, 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 external pull-up resistors on all data lines (SDIO_D[3:0]). The
MultiMediaCard/SD module samples the level of pin 8 (SDIO_D/IRQ) into the interrupt
detector only during the interrupt period. At all other times, the MultiMediaCard/SD module
ignores this value.

RM0383 Rev 3 641/844

667
Secure digital input/output interface (SDIO) RM0383

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 multiple-
block 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 SDIO_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
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.

21.4.14 Commands and responses

Application-specific and general commands
The SD 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.

642/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 Secure digital input/output interface (SDIO)

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 SDIO_D line(s).
• addressed (point-to-point) data transfer command (ADTC): sent to the card that is
selected; includes a data transfer on the SDIO_D line(s).

21.5 Response formats

All responses are sent via the MCCMD command line SDIO_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:

21.5.1 R1 (normal response command)

Code length = 48 bits. The 45:40 bits indicate the index of the command to be responded to,
this value being interpreted as a binary-coded number (between 0 and 63). The status of the
card is coded in 32 bits.

21.5.2 R1b
It is identical to R1 with an optional busy signal transmitted on the data line. The card may
become busy after receiving these commands based on its state prior to the command
reception.

21.5.3 R2 (CID, CSD register)

Code length = 136 bits. The contents of the CID register are sent as a response to the
CMD2 and CMD10 commands. The contents of the CSD register are sent as a response to

646/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 Secure digital input/output interface (SDIO)

CMD9. Only the bits [127...1] of the CID and CSD are transferred, the reserved bit [0] of
these registers is replaced by the end bit of the response. The card indicates that an erase
is in progress by holding MCDAT low. The actual erase time may be quite long, and the host
may issue CMD7 to deselect the card.

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.

21.6 SDIO I/O card-specific operations

The following features are SD I/O-specific operations:
• SDIO read wait operation by SDIO_D2 signalling
• SDIO read wait operation by stopping the clock
• SDIO suspend/resume operation (write and read suspend)
• SDIO interrupts
The SDIO supports these operations only if the SDIO_DCTRL[11] bit is set, except for read
suspend that does not need specific hardware implementation.

Secure digital input/output interface (SDIO) RM0383

21.6.1 SDIO I/O read wait operation by SDIO_D2 signaling

It is possible to start the readwait interval before the first block is received: when the data
path is enabled (SDIO_DCTRL[0] bit set), the SDIO-specific operation is enabled
(SDIO_DCTRL[11] bit set), read wait starts (SDI0_DCTRL[10] =0 and SDI_DCTRL[8] =1)
and data direction is from card to SDIO (SDIO_DCTRL[1] = 1), the DPSM directly moves
from Idle to Readwait. In Readwait the DPSM drives SDIO_D2 to 0 after 2 SDIO_CK clock
cycles. In this state, when you set the RWSTOP bit (SDIO_DCTRL[9]), the DPSM remains
in Wait for two more SDIO_CK clock cycles to drive SDIO_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 SDIO can detect SDIO interrupts on SDIO_D1.

21.6.2 SDIO read wait operation by stopping SDIO_CK

If the SDIO card does not support the previous read wait method, the SDIO can perform a
read wait by stopping SDIO_CK (SDIO_DCTRL is set just like in the method presented in
Section 21.6.1, but SDIO_DCTRL[10] =1): DSPM stops the clock two SDIO_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 SDIO_CK is stopped, any command can be issued to the card. During a read/wait
interval, the SDIO can detect SDIO interrupts on SDIO_D1.

21.6.3 SDIO suspend/resume operation

While sending data to the card, the SDIO can suspend the write operation. the
SDIO_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
(SDIO_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.

21.6.4 SDIO interrupts

SDIO interrupts are detected on the SDIO_D1 line once the SDIO_DCTRL[11] bit is set.

21.7 CE-ATA specific operations

The following features are CE-ATA specific operations:
• sending the command completion signal disable to the CE-ATA device
• receiving the command completion signal from the CE-ATA device
• signaling the completion of the CE-ATA command to the CPU, using the status bit
and/or interrupt.
The SDIO supports these operations only for the CE-ATA CMD61 command, that is, if
SDIO_CMD[14] is set.

21.7.1 Command completion signal disable

Command completion signal disable is sent 8 bit cycles after the reception of a short
response if the ‘enable CMD completion’ bit, SDIO_CMD[12], is not set and the ‘not interrupt
Enable’ bit, SDIO_CMD[13], is set.
The CPSM enters the Pend state, loading the command shift register with the disable
sequence “00001” and, the command counter with 43. Eight cycles after, a trigger moves
the CPSM to the Send state. When the command counter reaches 48, the CPSM becomes
Idle as no response is awaited.

21.7.2 Command completion signal enable

If the ‘enable CMD completion’ bit SDIO_CMD[12] is set and the ‘not interrupt Enable’ bit
SDIO_CMD[13] is set, the CPSM waits for the command completion signal in the Waitcpl
state.
When ‘0’ is received on the CMD line, the CPSM enters the Idle state. No new command
can be sent for 7 bit cycles. Then, for the last 5 cycles (out of the 7) the CMD line is driven to
‘1’ in push-pull mode.

21.7.3 CE-ATA interrupt

The command completion is signaled to the CPU by the status bit SDIO_STA[23]. This static
bit can be cleared with the clear bit SDIO_ICR[23].
The SDIO_STA[23] status bit can generate an interrupt on each interrupt line, depending on
the mask bit SDIO_MASKx[23].

21.7.4 Aborting CMD61

If the command completion disable signal has not been sent and CMD61 needs to be
aborted, the command state machine must be disabled. It then becomes Idle, and the
CMD12 command can be sent. No command completion disable signal is sent during the
operation.

21.8 HW flow control

The HW flow control functionality is used to avoid FIFO underrun (TX mode) and overrun
(RX mode) errors.
The behavior is to stop SDIO_CK and freeze SDIO state machines. The data transfer is
stalled while the FIFO is unable to transmit or receive data. Only state machines clocked by
SDIOCLK 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 SDIO_CLKCR[14] register bit must be set to 1. After reset
Flow Control is disabled.

21.9 SDIO registers

Note: While the SD/SDIO card or MultiMediaCard is in identification mode, the SDIO_CK
frequency must be less than 400 kHz.
The clock frequency can be changed to the maximum card bus frequency when relative
card addresses are assigned to all cards.
After a data write, data cannot be written to this register for three SDIOCLK clock periods

22 USB on-the-go full-speed (OTG_FS)

22.1 OTG_FS introduction

Portions Copyright (c) 2004, 2005 Synopsys, Inc. All rights reserved. Used with permission.
This section presents the architecture and the programming model of the OTG_FS
controller.
The following acronyms are used throughout this section:
FS Full-speed
LS Low-speed
MAC Media access controller
OTG On-the-go
PFC Packet FIFO controller
PHY Physical layer
USB Universal serial bus
UTMI USB 2.0 transceiver macrocell interface (UTMI)

References are made to the following documents:

• USB On-The-Go Supplement, Revision 1.3
• Universal Serial Bus Revision 2.0 Specification
The OTG_FS is a dual-role device (DRD) controller that supports both device and host
functions and is fully compliant with the On-The-Go Supplement to the USB 2.0
Specification. It can also be configured as a host-only or device-only controller, fully
compliant with the USB 2.0 Specification. In host mode, the OTG_FS supports full-speed
(FS, 12 Mbits/s) and low-speed (LS, 1.5 Mbits/s) transfers whereas in device mode, it only
supports full-speed (FS, 12 Mbits/s) transfers. The OTG_FS supports both HNP and SRP.
The only external device required is a charge pump for VBUS in host mode.

22.3.2 OTG full-speed core

The USB OTG FS receives the 48 MHz ±0.25% clock from the reset and clock controller
(RCC), via an external quartz. 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 FS core.
The CPU reads and writes from/to the OTG FS core registers through the AHB peripheral
bus. It is informed of USB events through the single USB OTG interrupt line described in
Section 22.15: OTG_FS interrupts.

RM0383 Rev 3 671/844

806
USB on-the-go full-speed (OTG_FS) RM0383

The CPU submits data over the USB by writing 32-bit words to dedicated OTG_FS 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_FS
addresses (pop registers). The data are then automatically retrieved from a shared Rx-FIFO
configured within the 1.25 KB 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 full-/low-speed transceiver module within the on-chip physical layer (PHY).

22.3.3 Full-speed OTG PHY

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 device’s
role is changed via the host negotiation protocol (HNP).
• Pull-up/pull-down resistor ECN circuit. The DP pull-up consists of 2 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.

switch can be used if 5 V are available on the application board.

22.4.1 ID line detection

The host or peripheral (the default) role is assumed depending on the ID input pin
(OTG_FS_ID). The ID line status is determined on plugging in the USB, depending on which
side of the USB cable is connected to the micro-AB receptacle.
• If the B-side of the USB cable is connected with a floating ID wire, the integrated pull-
up resistor detects a high ID level and the default Peripheral role is confirmed. In this
configuration the OTG_FS complies with the standard FSM described by section 6.8.2:
On-The-Go B-device of the On-The-Go Specification Rev1.3 supplement to the
USB2.0.
• If the A-side of the USB cable is connected with a grounded ID, the OTG_FS issues an
ID line status change interrupt (CIDSCHG bit in OTG_FS_GINTSTS) for host software
initialization, and automatically switches to the host role. In this configuration the
OTG_FS complies with the standard FSM described by section 6.8.1: On-The-Go A-
device of the On-The-Go Specification Rev1.3 supplement to the USB2.0.

22.4.2 HNP dual role device

The HNP capable bit in the Global USB configuration register (HNPCAP bit in OTG_FS_
GUSBCFG) enables the OTG_FS 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_FS_GOTGCTL) and the current mode of operation bit in the global interrupt and
status register (CMOD bit in OTG_FS_GINTSTS).
The HNP program model is described in detail in Section 22.17.

22.4.3 SRP dual role device

The SRP capable bit in the global USB configuration register (SRPCAP bit in
OTG_FS_GUSBCFG) enables the OTG_FS 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.
the SRP A/B-device program model is described in detail in Section 22.17.

22.5 USB peripheral

This section gives the functional description of the OTG_FS in the USB peripheral mode.
The OTG_FS works as an USB peripheral in the following circumstances:
• OTG B-Peripheral
– OTG B-device default state if B-side of USB cable is plugged in
• OTG A-Peripheral
– OTG A-device state after the HNP switches the OTG_FS to its peripheral role
• B-device
– 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_FS_GUSBCFG) is cleared (see On-The-Go Rev1.3 par. 6.8.3).
• Peripheral only (see Figure 244)
– The force device mode bit in the Global USB configuration register (FDMOD in
OTG_FS_GUSBCFG) is set to 1, forcing the OTG_FS core to work as a USB
peripheral-only (see On-The-Go Rev1.3 par. 6.8.3). In this case, the ID line is
ignored even if present on the USB connector.
Note: 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 VDD chip-supply
from VBUS.
The VBUS pin can be freed by disabling the VBUS sensing option. This is done by setting the
NOVBUSSENS bit in the OTG_FS_GCCFG register. In this case the VBUS is considered
internally to be always at VBUS valid level (5 V).

22.5.1 SRP-capable peripheral

The SRP capable bit in the Global USB configuration register (SRPCAP bit in
OTG_FS_GUSBCFG) enables the OTG_FS 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.

22.5.2 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 par9.1). The OTG_FS 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_FS_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
automatically disconnects and the session end detected (SEDET bit in
OTG_FS_GOTGINT) interrupt is generated to notify that the OTG_FS has exited the
powered state.
In the powered state, the OTG_FS 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_FS_GINTSTS) is generated. When the reset signaling is
complete, the enumeration done interrupt (ENUMDNE bit in OTG_FS_GINTSTS) is
generated and the OTG_FS enters the Default state.

RM0383 Rev 3 675/844

806
USB on-the-go full-speed (OTG_FS) RM0383

Soft disconnect
The powered state can be exited by software with the soft disconnect feature. The DP pull-
up resistor is removed by setting the soft disconnect bit in the device control register (SDIS
bit in OTG_FS_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 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_FS_DCFG). The
OTG_FS then enters the address state and is ready to answer host transactions at the
configured USB address.

Suspended state
The OTG_FS peripheral constantly monitors the USB activity. After counting 3 ms of USB
idleness, the early suspend interrupt (ESUSP bit in OTG_FS_GINTSTS) is issued, and
confirmed 3 ms later, if appropriate, by the suspend interrupt (USBSUSP bit in
OTG_FS_GINTSTS). The device suspend bit is then automatically set in the device status
register (SUSPSTS bit in OTG_FS_DSTS) and the OTG_FS 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_FS_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_FS_GINTSTS) is generated and the device suspend bit is automatically cleared.

22.5.3 Peripheral endpoints

The OTG_FS core instantiates the following USB endpoints:
• Control endpoint 0:
– Bidirectional and handles control messages only
– Separate set of registers to handle in and out transactions
– Proper control (OTG_FS_DIEPCTL0/OTG_FS_DOEPCTL0), transfer
configuration (OTG_FS_DIEPTSIZ0/OTG_FS_DIEPTSIZ0), and status-interrupt
(OTG_FS_DIEPINTx/)OTG_FS_DOEPINT0) registers. The available set of bits
inside the control and transfer size registers slightly differs from that of other
endpoints
• 3 IN endpoints
– Each of them can be configured to support the isochronous, bulk or interrupt
transfer type
– Each of them has proper control (OTG_FS_DIEPCTLx), transfer configuration
(OTG_FS_DIEPTSIZx), and status-interrupt (OTG_FS_DIEPINTx) registers
– The Device IN endpoints common interrupt mask register (OTG_FS_DIEPMSK) is
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_FS_GINTSTS), asserted when there is at least one isochronous IN endpoint

676/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 USB on-the-go full-speed (OTG_FS)

on which the transfer is not completed in the current frame. This interrupt is
asserted along with the end of periodic frame interrupt
(OTG_FS_GINTSTS/EOPF).
• 3 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_FS_DOEPCTLx), transfer configuration
(OTG_FS_DOEPTSIZx) and status-interrupt (OTG_FS_DOEPINTx) register
– Device Out endpoints common interrupt mask register (OTG_FS_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_FS_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_FS_GINTSTS/EOPF).

Endpoint control
• The following endpoint controls are available to the application through the device
endpoint-x IN/OUT control register (DIEPCTLx/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 (DIEPTSIZx/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 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

RM0383 Rev 3 677/844

806
USB on-the-go full-speed (OTG_FS) RM0383

Endpoint status/interrupt
The device endpoint-x interrupt registers (DIEPINTx/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 the core
interrupt register (OEPINT bit in OTG_FS_GINTSTS or IEPINT bit in OTG_FS_GINTSTS,
respectively) is set. Before the application can read these registers, it must first read the
device all endpoints interrupt (OTG_FS_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 DAINT and GINTSTS registers
The peripheral core provides the following status checks and interrupt generation:
• 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

22.6 USB host

This section gives the functional description of the OTG_FS in the USB host mode. The
OTG_FS works as a USB host in the following circumstances:
• OTG A-host
– OTG A-device default state when the A-side of the USB cable is plugged in
• OTG B-host
– OTG B-device after HNP switching to the host role
• A-device
– 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_FS_GUSBCFG). Integrated pull-down resistors are
automatically set on the DP/DM lines.
• Host only (see figure Figure 245).
– The force host mode bit in the global USB configuration register (FHMOD bit in
OTG_FS_GUSBCFG) forces the OTG_FS 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.
Note: 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

678/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 USB on-the-go full-speed (OTG_FS)

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.
The VBUS input ensures that valid VBUS levels are supplied by the charge pump during USB
operations while the charge pump overcurrent output can be input to any GPIO pin
configured to generate port interrupts. The overcurrent ISR must promptly disable the VBUS
generation.

1. 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.
2. VDD range is between 2 V and 3.6 V.

22.6.1 SRP-capable host

SRP support is available through the SRP capable bit in the global USB configuration
register (SRPCAP bit in OTG_FS_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.

22.6.2 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. When the
application decides to power on VBUS using the chosen GPIO, it must also set the port
power bit in the host port control and status register (PPWR bit in OTG_FS_HPRT).

VBUS valid
When HNP or SRP is enabled the VBUS sensing pin (PA9) 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
(4.25 V) leads to an OTG interrupt triggered by the session end detected bit (SEDET bit in

RM0383 Rev 3 679/844

806
USB on-the-go full-speed (OTG_FS) RM0383

OTG_FS_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 (PA9) should not be
connected to VBUS. This pin can be can be used as GPIO.
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.

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 will not detect any bus connection . When VBUS is at a valid level and a
remote B-device is attached, the OTG_FS core issues a host port interrupt triggered by the
device connected bit in the host port control and status register (PCDET bit in
OTG_FS_HPRT).
When HNP and SRP are both disabled, USB peripherals or B-device are detected as soon
as they are connected. The OTG_FS core issues a host port interrupt triggered by the
device connected bit in the host port control and status (PCDET bit in OTG_FS_HPRT).

Host detection of peripheral a disconnection

The peripheral disconnection event triggers the disconnect detected interrupt (DISCINT bit
in OTG_FS_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_FS_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_FS_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_FS_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_FS_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_FS_HPRT). The OTG_FS 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_FS_GINTSTS) is

680/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 USB on-the-go full-speed (OTG_FS)

generated upon detection of a remote wakeup signaling, the port resume bit in the host port
control and status register (PRES bit in OTG_FS_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.

22.6.3 Host channels

The OTG_FS core instantiates 8 host channels. Each host channel supports an USB host
transfer (USB pipe). The host is not able to support more than 8 transfer requests at the
same time. If more than 8 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 (HCCHARx), transfer
configuration (HCTSIZx) and status/interrupt (HCINTx) registers with associated mask
(HCINTMSKx) registers.

Host channel control

• The following host channel controls are available to the application through the host
channel-x characteristics register (HCCHARx):
– Channel enable/disable
– Program the 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 (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 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 (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_FS_GINTSTS) is

RM0383 Rev 3 681/844

806
USB on-the-go full-speed (OTG_FS) RM0383

set. Before the application can read these registers, it must first read the host all channels
interrupt (HCAINT) 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 HAINT and GINTSTS registers. The mask bits for each interrupt
source of each channel are also available in the OTG_FS_HCINTMSK-x register.
• 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
– Channel has stopped due to transfer completed, USB transaction error or disable
command from the application
– Associated transmit FIFO is half or completely empty (IN endpoints)
– ACK response received
– NAK response received
– STALL response received
– USB transaction error due to CRC failure, timeout, bit stuff error, false EOP
– Babble error
– fraMe overrun
– dAta toggle error

22.6.4 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_FS_GINTSTS) if an isochronous or interrupt transaction scheduled for
the current frame is still pending at the end of the current frame. The OTG HS core is fully
responsible for the management of the periodic and nonperiodic request queues.The
periodic transmit FIFO and queue status register (HPTXSTS) and nonperiodic transmit
FIFO and queue status register (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

682/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 USB on-the-go full-speed (OTG_FS)

SB for a maximum of 8 pending periodic transactions plus 8 pending nonperiodic

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
PTXQSAV bits in the OTG_FS_HNPTXSTS register or NPTQXSAV bits in the
OTG_FS_HNPTXSTS register.

The OTG FS 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.

22.7.1 Host SOFs

In host mode the number of PHY clocks occurring between the generation of two
consecutive SOF (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 OTH_FS_GINTSTS). The current frame
number and the time remaining until the next SOF are tracked in the host frame number
register (HFNUM).
An SOF pulse signal, generated at any SOF starting token and with a width of 20 HCLK
cycles, can be made available externally on the OTG_FS_SOF pin using the SOFOUTEN
bit in the global control and configuration register. The SOF pulse is also internally
connected to the input trigger of timer 2 (TIM2), so that the input capture feature, the output
compare feature and the timer can be triggered by the SOF pulse. The TIM2 connection is
enabled register.

RM0383 Rev 3 683/844

806
USB on-the-go full-speed (OTG_FS) RM0383

22.7.2 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 OTH_FS_GINTSTS). The corresponding frame number can be read
from the device status register (FNSOF bit in OTG_FS_DSTS). An SOF pulse signal with a
width of 20 HCLK cycles is also generated and can be made available externally on the
OTG_FS_SOF pin by using the SOF output enable bit in the global control and configuration
register (SOFOUTEN bit in OTG_FS_GCCFG). The SOF pulse signal is also internally
connected to the TIM2 input trigger, so that the input capture feature, the output compare
feature and the timer can be triggered by the SOF pulse. The TIM2 connection is enabled .
The end of periodic frame interrupt (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_FS_DCFG). This feature
can be used to determine if all of the isochronous traffic for that frame is complete.

The power consumption of the OTG PHY is controlled by three bits in the general core
configuration register:
• PHY power down (GCCFG/PWRDWN)
It switches on/off the full-speed transceiver module of the PHY. It must be preliminarily
set to allow any USB operation.
• A-VBUS sensing enable (GCCFG/VBUSASEN)
It switches on/off the VBUS comparators associated with A-device operations. It must
be set when in A-device (USB host) mode and during HNP.
• B-VBUS sensing enable (GCCFG/VBUSASEN)
It switches on/off the VBUS comparators associated with B-device operations. It must
be set when in B-device (USB peripheral) mode and during HNP.

684/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 USB on-the-go full-speed (OTG_FS)

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_FS_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
asynchronous resume or remote wakeup event is kept alive.
• Gate HCLK (GATEHCLK bit in OTG_FS_PCGCCTL)
When setting the Gate HCLK bit in the clock gating control register, most of the system
clock domain internal to the OTG_FS core is switched off by clock gating. Only the
register read and write interface is kept alive. The dynamic power consumption due to
the USB clock switching activity is cut even if the system clock is kept running by the
application for other purposes.
• USB system stop
When the OTG_FS 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 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
core.

22.9 Dynamic update of the OTG_FS_HFIR register

The USB core embeds a dynamic trimming capability of SOF framing period in host mode
allowing to synchronize an external device with the SOF frames.
When the OTG_FS_HFIR register is changed within a current SOF frame, the SOF period
correction is applied in the next frame as described in Figure 247.

22.10 USB data FIFOs

The USB system features 1.25 Kbyte of dedicated RAM with a sophisticated FIFO control
mechanism. The packet FIFO controller module in the OTG_FS 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.

22.11.1 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 (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 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_FS_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 (GRXSTSP) and finally
pops data off the receive FIFO by reading from the endpoint-related pop address.

22.11.2 Peripheral Tx FIFOs

The core has a dedicated FIFO for each IN endpoint. The application configures FIFO sizes
by writing the non periodic transmit FIFO size register (OTG_FS_TX0FSIZ) for IN endpoint0
and the device IN endpoint transmit FIFOx registers (DIEPTXFx) for IN endpoint-x.

22.12.1 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 (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 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.

688/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 USB on-the-go full-speed (OTG_FS)

22.12.2 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 (HPTXFSIZ/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 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 core issues the periodic Tx FIFO empty interrupt (PTXFE bit in
OTG_FS_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_FS_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
(HPTXSTS) can be read to know how much space is available in both.
OTG_FS core issues the non periodic Tx FIFO empty interrupt (NPTXFE bit in
OTG_FS_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_FS_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 (HNPTXSTS) can be
read to know how much space is available in both.

22.13 FIFO RAM allocation

22.13.1 Device mode

Receive FIFO RAM allocation: the application should allocate RAM for SETUP Packets:
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. Typically, one location for each OUT endpoint is recommended.

RM0383 Rev 3 689/844

806
USB on-the-go full-speed (OTG_FS) RM0383

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.

22.13.2 Host mode

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.

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.
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.
Note: More space allocated in the Transmit Non-periodic FIFO results in better performance on
the USB.

22.14 USB 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 full-
speed 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

690/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 USB on-the-go full-speed (OTG_FS)

– 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.

22.15 OTG_FS interrupts

When the OTG_FS 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_FS_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.
Figure 250 shows the interrupt hierarchy.

22.16 OTG_FS 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 controller. These registers are 32 bits
wide, and the addresses are 32-bit block aligned. The OTG_FS 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
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_FS_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.

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

The application must write this bit only after checking that the core is neither writing to the
TxFIFO nor reading from the TxFIFO. Verify using these registers:

Note: Only accessible in host mode.
Bit 1 HSRST: HCLK soft reset
The application uses this bit to flush the control logic in the AHB Clock domain. Only AHB
Clock Domain pipelines are reset.
FIFOs are not flushed with this bit.
All state machines in the AHB clock domain are reset to the Idle state after terminating the
transactions on the AHB, following the protocol.
CSR control bits used by the AHB clock domain state machines are cleared.
To clear this interrupt, status mask bits that control the interrupt status and are generated by
the AHB clock domain state machine are cleared.
Because interrupt status bits are not cleared, the application can get the status of any core
events that occurred after it set this bit.
This is a self-clearing bit that the core clears after all necessary logic is reset in the core. This
can take several clocks, depending on the core’s current state.
Note: Accessible in both device and host modes.
Bit 0 CSRST: Core soft reset
Resets the HCLK and PCLK domains as follows:
Clears the interrupts and all the CSR register bits except for the following bits:
– RSTPDMODL bit in OTG_FS_PCGCCTL
– GAYEHCLK bit in OTG_FS_PCGCCTL
– PWRCLMP bit in OTG_FS_PCGCCTL
– STPPCLK bit in OTG_FS_PCGCCTL
– FSLSPCS bit in OTG_FS_HCFG
– DSPD bit in OTG_FS_DCFG
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 you
dynamically change 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.

by writing the Clear global OUT NAK bit in the OTG_FS_DCTL register (CGONAK bit in
OTG_FS_DCTL).
Note: Only accessible in device mode.
Bit 6 GINAKEFF: Global IN non-periodic NAK effective
Indicates that the Set global non-periodic IN NAK bit in the OTG_FS_DCTL register
(SGINAK bit in OTG_FS_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_FS_DCTL register (CGINAK
bit in OTG_FS_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 TxFIFO empty
This interrupt is asserted when the non-periodic TxFIFO 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 TxFIFO empty
level bit in the OTG_FS_GAHBCFG register (TXFELVL bit in OTG_FS_GAHBCFG).
Note: Accessible in host mode only.
Bit 4 RXFLVL: RxFIFO non-empty
Indicates that there is at least one packet pending to be read from the RxFIFO.
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 Device Status register to get the current frame
number. This interrupt is seen only when the core is operating in FS.
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_FS_GOTGINT) register to determine the exact event that caused this
interrupt. The application must clear the appropriate status bit in the OTG_FS_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.

data entry out of the RxFIFO.
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

Bits 15:0 FRIVL: Frame interval
The value that the application programs to this field specifies the interval between two
consecutive SOFs (FS) or Keep-Alive tokens (LS). This field contains the number of PHY
clocks that constitute the required frame interval. The application can write a value to this
register only after the Port enable bit of the host port control and status register (PENA bit in
OTG_FS_HPRT) has been set. If no value is programmed, the core calculates the value
based on the PHY clock specified in the FS/LS PHY Clock Select field of the host
configuration register (FSLSPCS in OTG_FS_HCFG). Do not change the value of this field
after the initial configuration.

OTG_FS Host all channels interrupt register (OTG_FS_HAINT)

Address offset: 0x414
Reset value: 0x0000 000
When a significant event occurs on a channel, the host all channels interrupt register
interrupts the application using the host channels interrupt bit of the Core interrupt register
(HCINT bit in OTG_FS_GINTSTS). This is shown in Figure 250. There is one interrupt bit
per channel, up to a maximum of 16 bits. Bits in this register are set and cleared when the
application sets and clears bits in the corresponding host channel-x interrupt register.

OTG_FS Host port control and status register (OTG_FS_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 250. 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_FS_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.

required minimum duration, before clearing the bit, even though there is no maximum limit
set by the USB standard.
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 (WKUINT or DISCINT in
OTG_FS_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 (WKUINT bit in
OTG_FS_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.

OTG_FS device all endpoints interrupt register (OTG_FS_DAINT)

Address offset: 0x818
Reset value: 0x0000 0000
When a significant event occurs on an endpoint, a OTG_FS_DAINT register interrupts the
application using the Device OUT endpoints interrupt bit or Device IN endpoints interrupt bit
of the OTG_FS_GINTSTS register (OEPINT or IEPINT in OTG_FS_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_FS_DIEPINTx/OTG_FS_DOEPINTx).

This field indicates that the programmed transfer is complete on the AHB as well as on the
USB, for this endpoint.

OTG_FS device endpoint-x interrupt register (OTG_FS_DOEPINTx) (x = 0..3,

where x = Endpoint_number)
Address offset: 0xB08 + 0x20 * x
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 250. The application must read this register when the OUT
Endpoints Interrupt bit of the OTG_FS_GINTSTS register (OEPINT bit in
OTG_FS_GINTSTS) is set. Before the application can read this register, it must first read
the OTG_FS_DAINT register to get the exact endpoint number for the OTG_FS_DOEPINTx
register. The application must clear the appropriate bit in this register to clear the
corresponding bits in the OTG_FS_DAINT and OTG_FS_GINTSTS registers.

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.

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.
Bits 7:6 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bit 5 STSPHSRX: Status phase received for control write
This interrupt is generated only after the core 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-to-
back SETUP packets were received for the current control transfer. On this interrupt, the
application can decode the received SETUP data packet.
Bit 2 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
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.

OTG_FS device IN endpoint 0 transfer size register (OTG_FS_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_FS_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.

22.17 OTG_FS programming model

22.17.1 Core initialization

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_FS_GINTSTS (CMOD bit in
OTG_FS_GINTSTS) reflects the mode. The OTG_FS 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 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. Program the following fields in the OTG_FS_GAHBCFG register:
– Global interrupt mask bit GINTMSK = 1
– RxFIFO non-empty (RXFLVL bit in OTG_FS_GINTSTS)
– Periodic TxFIFO empty level
2. Program the following fields in the OTG_FS_GUSBCFG register:
– HNP capable bit
– SRP capable bit
– FS timeout calibration field
– USB turnaround time field
3. The software must unmask the following bits in the OTG_FS_GINTMSK register:
OTG interrupt mask
Mode mismatch interrupt mask
4. The software can read the CMOD bit in OTG_FS_GINTSTS to determine whether the
OTG_FS controller is operating in host or device mode.

RM0383 Rev 3 763/844

806
USB on-the-go full-speed (OTG_FS) RM0383

22.17.2 Host initialization

To initialize the core as host, the application must perform the following steps:
1. Program the HPRTINT in the OTG_FS_GINTMSK register to unmask
2. Program the OTG_FS_HCFG register to select full-speed host
3. Program the PPWR bit in OTG_FS_HPRT to 1. This drives VBUS on the USB.
4. Wait for the PCDET interrupt in OTG_FS_HPRT0. This indicates that a device is
connecting to the port.
5. Program the PRST bit in OTG_FS_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_FS_HPRT to 0.
8. Wait for the PENCHNG interrupt in OTG_FS_HPRT.
9. Read the PSPD bit in OTG_FS_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_FS_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_FS_GRXFSIZ register to select the size of the receive FIFO.
13. Program the OTG_FS_HNPTXFSIZ register to select the size and the start address of
the Non-periodic transmit FIFO for non-periodic transactions.
14. Program the OTG_FS_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.

22.17.3 Device initialization

The application must perform the following steps to initialize the core as a device on power-
up or after a mode change from host to device.
1. Program the following fields in the OTG_FS_DCFG register:

– Non-zero-length status OUT handshake
2. Program the OTG_FS_GINTMSK register to unmask the following interrupts:
– USB reset
– Enumeration done
– Early suspend
– USB suspend
– SOF
3. Program the VBUSBSEN bit in the OTG_FS_GCCFG register to enable VBUS sensing
in “B” device mode and supply the 5 volts across the pull-up resistor on the DP line.
4. Wait for the USBRST interrupt in OTG_FS_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_FS_GINTSTS. This interrupt indicates the end of
reset on the USB. On receiving this interrupt, the application must read the OTG_FS_DSTS
register to determine the enumeration speed and perform the steps listed in Endpoint

initialization on enumeration completion on page 781.

At this point, the device is ready to accept SOF packets and perform control transfers on
control endpoint 0.

22.17.4 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. Program the OTG_FS_GINTMSK register to unmask the following:
2. 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_FS_HAINTMSK register to unmask the selected channels’
interrupts.
4. Program the OTG_FS_HCINTMSK register to unmask the transaction-related
interrupts of interest given in the host channel interrupt register.
5. Program the selected channel’s OTG_FS_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_FS_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).

Halting a channel
The application can disable any channel by programming the OTG_FS_HCCHARx register
with the CHDIS and CHENA bits set to 1. This enables the OTG_FS host to flush the posted
requests (if any) and generates a channel halted interrupt. The application must wait for the
CHH interrupt in OTG_FS_HCINTx before reallocating the channel for other transactions.
The OTG_FS host does not interrupt the transaction that has already been started on the
USB.
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_FS_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:

RM0383 Rev 3 765/844

806
USB on-the-go full-speed (OTG_FS) RM0383

1. When an STALL, TXERR, BBERR or DTERR interrupt in OTG_FS_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 a DISCINT (Disconnect Device) interrupt in OTG_FS_GINTSTS is received.
(The application is expected to disable all enabled channels).
3. When the application aborts a transfer before normal completion.

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 host automatically writes an entry (OUT request) to the periodic/non-
periodic request queue, along with the last 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 words. If the packet size is non-word aligned, the application
must use padding. The OTG_FS host determines the actual packet size based on the
programmed maximum packet size and transfer size.

• Bulk and control OUT/SETUP transactions

A typical bulk or control OUT/SETUP pipelined transaction-level operation is shown in
Figure 254. See channel 1 (ch_1). Two bulk OUT packets are transmitted. A control
SETUP transaction operates in the same way but has only one packet. The
assumptions are:
– The application is attempting to send two maximum-packet-size packets (transfer
size = 1, 024 bytes).
– The non-periodic transmit FIFO can hold two packets (128 bytes for FS).
– The non-periodic request queue depth = 4.
• Normal bulk and control OUT/SETUP operations
The sequence of operations in (channel 1) is as follows:
a) Initialize channel 1
b) Write the first packet for channel 1
c) Along with the last word write, the core writes an entry to the non-periodic request
queue
d) As soon as the non-periodic queue becomes non-empty, the core attempts to
send an OUT token in the current frame
e) Write the second (last) packet for channel 1
f) The core generates the XFRC interrupt as soon as the last transaction is
completed successfully

See channel 2 (ch_2). The assumptions are:
– The application is attempting to receive two maximum-packet-size packets
(transfer size = 1 024 bytes).
– The receive FIFO can contain at least one maximum-packet-size packet and two
status words per packet (72 bytes for FS).
– The non-periodic request queue depth = 4.

The sequence of operations is as follows:

a) Initialize channel 2.
b) Set the CHENA bit in HCCHAR2 to write an IN request to the non-periodic request
queue.
c) The core attempts to send an IN token after completing the current OUT
transaction.
d) The core generates an RXFLVL interrupt as soon as the received packet is written
to the receive FIFO.
e) In response to the RXFLVL interrupt, mask the RXFLVL interrupt and read the
received packet status to determine the number of bytes received, then read the
receive FIFO accordingly. Following this, unmask the RXFLVL interrupt.

806
USB on-the-go full-speed (OTG_FS) RM0383

f) The core generates the RXFLVL interrupt for the transfer completion status entry
in the receive FIFO.
g) The application must read and ignore the receive packet status when the receive
packet status is not an IN data packet (PKTSTS in GRXSTSR ≠ 0b0010).
h) The core generates the XFRC interrupt as soon as the receive packet status is
read.
i) In response to the XFRC interrupt, disable the channel and stop writing the
OTG_FS_HCCHAR2 register for further requests. The core writes a channel
disable request to the non-periodic request queue as soon as the
OTG_FS_HCCHAR2 register is written.
j) The core generates the RXFLVL interrupt as soon as the halt status is written to
the receive FIFO.
k) Read and ignore the receive packet status.
l) The core generates a CHH interrupt as soon as the halt status is popped from the
receive FIFO.
m) In response to the CHH interrupt, de-allocate the channel for other transfers.
n) Handling non-ACK responses
• Control transactions
Setup, Data, and Status stages of a control transfer must be performed as three
separate transfers. Setup-, Data- or Status-stage OUT transactions are performed
similarly to the bulk OUT transactions explained previously. Data- or Status-stage IN
transactions are performed similarly to the bulk IN transactions explained previously.
For all three stages, the application is expected to set the EPTYP field in
OTG_FS_HCCHAR1 to Control. During the Setup stage, the application is expected to
set the PID field in OTG_FS_HCTSIZ1 to SETUP.
• Interrupt OUT transactions
A typical interrupt OUT operation is shown in Figure 256. The assumptions are:
– The application is attempting to send one packet in every frame (up to 1 maximum
packet size), starting with the odd frame (transfer size = 1 024 bytes)
– The periodic transmit FIFO can hold one packet (1 KB)
– Periodic request queue depth = 4
The sequence of operations is as follows:
a) Initialize and enable channel 1. The application must set the ODDFRM bit in
OTG_FS_HCCHAR1.
b) Write the first packet for channel 1.
c) Along with the last word write of each packet, the OTG_FS host writes an entry to
the periodic request queue.
d) The OTG_FS host attempts to send an OUT token in the next (odd) frame.
e) The OTG_FS host generates an XFRC interrupt as soon as the last packet is
transmitted successfully.
f) In response to the XFRC interrupt, reinitialize the channel for the next transfer.

– The receive FIFO can hold at least one maximum-packet-size packet and two
status words per packet (1 031 bytes).
– Periodic request queue depth = 4.
• Normal interrupt IN operation
The sequence of operations is as follows:
a) Initialize channel 2. The application must set the ODDFRM bit in
OTG_FS_HCCHAR2.
b) Set the CHENA bit in OTG_FS_HCCHAR2 to write an IN request to the periodic

c) The OTG_FS host writes an IN request to the periodic request queue for each

d) The OTG_FS host attempts to send an IN token in the next (odd) frame.
e) As soon as the IN packet is received and written to the receive FIFO, the OTG_FS
host generates an RXFLVL interrupt.
f) In response to the RXFLVL interrupt, read the received packet status to determine

application must mask the RXFLVL interrupt before reading the receive FIFO, and

• Isochronous IN transactions
The assumptions are:
– The application is attempting to receive one packet (up to 1 maximum packet size)
in every frame starting with the next odd frame (transfer size = 1 024 bytes).
– The receive FIFO can hold at least one maximum-packet-size packet and two
status word per packet (1 031 bytes).
– Periodic request queue depth = 4.
The sequence of operations is as follows:
a) Initialize channel 2. The application must set the ODDFRM bit in
OTG_FS_HCCHAR2.
b) Set the CHENA bit in OTG_FS_HCCHAR2 to write an IN request to the periodic
request queue.
c) The OTG_FS host writes an IN request to the periodic request queue for each
OTG_FS_HCCHAR2 register write with the CHENA bit set.
d) The OTG_FS host attempts to send an IN token in the next odd frame.
e) As soon as the IN packet is received and written to the receive FIFO, the OTG_FS
host generates an RXFLVL interrupt.
f) In response to the RXFLVL interrupt, read the received packet status to determine
the number of bytes received, then read the receive FIFO accordingly. The
application must mask the RXFLVL interrupt before reading the receive FIFO, and
unmask it after reading the entire packet.
g) The core generates an RXFLVL interrupt for the transfer completion status entry in
the receive FIFO. This time, the application must read and ignore the receive
packet status when the receive packet status is not an IN data packet (PKTSTS bit
in OTG_FS_GRXSTSR ≠ 0b0010).
h) The core generates an XFRC interrupt as soon as the receive packet status is
read.
i) In response to the XFRC interrupt, read the PKTCNT field in OTG_FS_HCTSIZ2.
If PKTCNT ≠ 0 in OTG_FS_HCTSIZ2, disable the channel before re-initializing the
channel for the next transfer, if any. If PKTCNT = 0 in OTG_FS_HCTSIZ2,
reinitialize the channel for the next transfer. This time, the application must reset
the ODDFRM bit in OTG_FS_HCCHAR2.
• Selecting the queue depth
Choose the periodic and non-periodic request queue depths carefully to match the
number of periodic/non-periodic endpoints accessed.
The non-periodic request queue depth affects the performance of non-periodic
transfers. The deeper the queue (along with sufficient FIFO size), the more often the
core is able to pipeline non-periodic transfers. If the queue size is small, the core is
able to put in new requests only when the queue space is freed up.
The core’s periodic request queue depth is critical to perform periodic transfers as
scheduled. Select the periodic queue depth, based on the number of periodic transfers
scheduled in a microframe. If the periodic request queue depth is smaller than the
periodic transfers scheduled in a microframe, a frame overrun condition occurs.
• Handling babble conditions
OTG_FS controller handles two cases of babble: packet babble and port babble.
Packet babble occurs if the device sends more data than the maximum packet size for

780/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 USB on-the-go full-speed (OTG_FS)

the channel. Port babble occurs if the core continues to receive data from the device at
EOF2 (the end of frame 2, which is very close to SOF).
When OTG_FS controller detects a packet babble, it stops writing data into the Rx
buffer and waits for the end of packet (EOP). When it detects an EOP, it flushes already
written data in the Rx buffer and generates a Babble interrupt to the application.
When OTG_FS controller detects a port babble, it flushes the RxFIFO and disables the
port. The core then generates a Port disabled interrupt (HPRTINT in
OTG_FS_GINTSTS, PENCHNG in OTG_FS_HPRT). On receiving this interrupt, the
application must determine that this is not due to an overcurrent condition (another
cause of the Port Disabled interrupt) by checking POCA in OTG_FS_HPRT, then
perform a soft reset. The core does not send any more tokens after it has detected a
port babble condition.

22.17.5 Device programming model

Endpoint initialization on USB reset
1. Set the NAK bit for all OUT endpoints
– SNAK = 1 in OTG_FS_DOEPCTLx (for all OUT endpoints)
2. Unmask the following interrupt bits
– INEP0 = 1 in OTG_FS_DAINTMSK (control 0 IN endpoint)
– OUTEP0 = 1 in OTG_FS_DAINTMSK (control 0 OUT endpoint)
– STUP = 1 in DOEPMSK
– XFRC = 1 in DOEPMSK
– XFRC = 1 in DIEPMSK
– TOC = 1 in DIEPMSK
3. Set up the Data FIFO RAM for each of the FIFOs
– Program the OTG_FS_GRXFSIZ register, to be able to receive control OUT data
and setup data. If thresholding is not enabled, at a minimum, this must be equal to
1 max packet size of control endpoint 0 + 2 words (for the status of the control
OUT data packet) + 10 words (for setup packets).
– Program the OTG_FS_TX0FSIZ register (depending on the FIFO number chosen)
to be able to transmit control IN data. At a minimum, this must be equal to 1 max
packet size of control endpoint 0.
4. Program the following fields in the endpoint-specific registers for control OUT endpoint
0 to receive a SETUP packet
– STUPCNT = 3 in OTG_FS_DOEPTSIZ0 (to receive up to 3 back-to-back SETUP
packets)
At this point, all initialization required to receive SETUP packets is done.

Endpoint initialization on enumeration completion

1. On the Enumeration Done interrupt (ENUMDNE in OTG_FS_GINTSTS), read the
OTG_FS_DSTS register to determine the enumeration speed.
2. Program the MPSIZ field in OTG_FS_DIEPCTL0 to set the maximum packet size. This
step configures control endpoint 0. The maximum packet size for a control endpoint
depends on the enumeration speed.

RM0383 Rev 3 781/844

USB on-the-go full-speed (OTG_FS) RM0383

At this point, the device is ready to receive SOF packets and is configured to perform control
transfers on control endpoint 0.

Endpoint initialization on SetAddress command

This section describes what the application must do when it receives a SetAddress
command in a SETUP packet.
1. Program the OTG_FS_DCFG register with the device address received in the
SetAddress command
2. Program the core to send out a status IN packet

Endpoint initialization on SetConfiguration/SetInterface command

This section describes what the application must do when it receives a SetConfiguration or
SetInterface command in a SETUP packet.
1. When a SetConfiguration command is received, the application must program the
endpoint registers to configure them with the characteristics of the valid endpoints in
the new configuration.
2. When a SetInterface command is received, the application must program the endpoint
registers of the endpoints affected by this command.
3. Some endpoints that were active in the prior configuration or alternate setting are not
valid in the new configuration or alternate setting. These invalid endpoints must be
deactivated.
4. Unmask the interrupt for each active endpoint and mask the interrupts for all inactive
endpoints in the OTG_FS_DAINTMSK register.
5. Set up the Data FIFO RAM for each FIFO.
6. After all required endpoints are configured; the application must program the core to
send a status IN packet.
At this point, the device core is configured to receive and transmit any type of data packet.

Endpoint activation
This section describes the steps required to activate a device endpoint or to configure an
existing device endpoint to a new type.
1. Program the characteristics of the required endpoint into the following fields of the
OTG_FS_DIEPCTLx register (for IN or bidirectional endpoints) or the
OTG_FS_DOEPCTLx register (for OUT or bidirectional endpoints).
– Maximum packet size
– USB active endpoint = 1
– Endpoint start data toggle (for interrupt and bulk endpoints)
– Endpoint type
– TxFIFO number
2. Once the endpoint is activated, the core starts decoding the tokens addressed to that
endpoint and sends out a valid handshake for each valid token received for the
endpoint.

782/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 USB on-the-go full-speed (OTG_FS)

Endpoint deactivation
This section describes the steps required to deactivate an existing endpoint.
1. In the endpoint to be deactivated, clear the USB active endpoint bit in the
OTG_FS_DIEPCTLx register (for IN or bidirectional endpoints) or the
OTG_FS_DOEPCTLx register (for OUT or bidirectional endpoints).
2. Once the endpoint is deactivated, the core ignores tokens addressed to that endpoint,
which results in a timeout on the USB.
Note: The application must meet the following conditions to set up the device core to handle
traffic:
NPTXFEM and RXFLVLM in the OTG_FS_GINTMSK register must be cleared.

22.17.6 Operational model

SETUP and OUT data transfers
This section describes the internal data flow and application-level operations during data
OUT transfers and SETUP transactions.
• Packet read
This section describes how to read packets (OUT data and SETUP packets) from the
receive FIFO.
1. On catching an RXFLVL interrupt (OTG_FS_GINTSTS register), the application must
read the Receive status pop register (OTG_FS_GRXSTSP).
2. The application can mask the RXFLVL interrupt (in OTG_FS_GINTSTS) by writing to
RXFLVL = 0 (in OTG_FS_GINTMSK), until it has read the packet from the receive
FIFO.
3. If the received packet’s byte count is not 0, the byte count amount of data is popped
from the receive Data FIFO and stored in memory. If the received packet byte count is
0, no data is popped from the receive data FIFO.
4. The receive FIFO’s packet status readout indicates one of the following:
a) Global OUT NAK pattern:
PKTSTS = Global OUT NAK, BCNT = 0x000, EPNUM = Don’t Care (0x0),
DPID = Don’t Care (0b00).
These data indicate that the global OUT NAK bit has taken effect.
b) SETUP packet pattern:
PKTSTS = SETUP, BCNT = 0x008, EPNUM = Control EP Num, DPID = D0.
These data indicate that a SETUP packet for the specified endpoint is now
available for reading from the receive FIFO.
c) Setup stage done pattern:
PKTSTS = Setup Stage Done, BCNT = 0x0, EPNUM = Control EP Num,
DPID = Don’t Care (0b00).
These data indicate that the Setup stage for the specified endpoint has completed
and the Data stage has started. After this entry is popped from the receive FIFO,
the core asserts a Setup interrupt on the specified control OUT endpoint.
d) Data OUT packet pattern:
PKTSTS = DataOUT, BCNT = size of the received data OUT packet (0 ≤ BCNT
≤ 1 024), EPNUM = EPNUM on which the packet was received, DPID = Actual
Data PID.

RM0383 Rev 3 783/844

806
USB on-the-go full-speed (OTG_FS) RM0383

e) Data transfer completed pattern:

PKTSTS = Data OUT Transfer Done, BCNT = 0x0, EPNUM = OUT EP Num
on which the data transfer is complete, DPID = Don’t Care (0b00).
These data indicate that an OUT data transfer for the specified OUT endpoint has
completed. After this entry is popped from the receive FIFO, the core asserts a
Transfer Completed interrupt on the specified OUT endpoint.
5. After the data payload is popped from the receive FIFO, the RXFLVL interrupt
(OTG_FS_GINTSTS) must be unmasked.
6. Steps 1–5 are repeated every time the application detects assertion of the interrupt line
due to RXFLVL in OTG_FS_GINTSTS. Reading an empty receive FIFO can result in
undefined core behavior.
Figure 258 provides a flowchart of the above procedure.

• SETUP transactions
This section describes how the core handles SETUP packets and the application’s
sequence for handling SETUP transactions.
• Application requirements
1. To receive a SETUP packet, the STUPCNT field (OTG_FS_DOEPTSIZx) in a control
OUT endpoint must be programmed to a non-zero value. When the application
programs the STUPCNT field to a non-zero value, the core receives SETUP packets
and writes them to the receive FIFO, irrespective of the NAK status and EPENA bit
setting in OTG_FS_DOEPCTLx. The STUPCNT field is decremented every time the
control endpoint receives a SETUP packet. If the STUPCNT field is not programmed to
a proper value before receiving a SETUP packet, the core still receives the SETUP
packet and decrements the STUPCNT field, but the application may not be able to

784/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 USB on-the-go full-speed (OTG_FS)

determine the correct number of SETUP packets received in the Setup stage of a
control transfer.
– STUPCNT = 3 in OTG_FS_DOEPTSIZx
2. The application must always allocate some extra space in the Receive data FIFO, to be
able to receive up to three SETUP packets on a control endpoint.
– The space to be reserved is 10 words. Three words are required for the first
SETUP packet, 1 word is required for the Setup stage done word and 6 words are
required to store two extra SETUP packets among all control endpoints.
– 3 words per SETUP packet are required to store 8 bytes of SETUP data and 4
bytes of SETUP status (Setup packet pattern). The core reserves this space in the
receive data FIFO to write SETUP data only, and never uses this space for data
packets.
3. The application must read the 2 words of the SETUP packet from the receive FIFO.
4. The application must read and discard the Setup stage done word from the receive
FIFO.
• Internal data flow
1. When a SETUP packet is received, the core writes the received data to the receive
FIFO, without checking for available space in the receive FIFO and irrespective of the
endpoint’s NAK and STALL bit settings.
– The core internally sets the IN NAK and OUT NAK bits for the control IN/OUT
endpoints on which the SETUP packet was received.
2. For every SETUP packet received on the USB, 3 words of data are written to the
receive FIFO, and the STUPCNT field is decremented by 1.
– The first word contains control information used internally by the core
– The second word contains the first 4 bytes of the SETUP command
– The third word contains the last 4 bytes of the SETUP command
3. When the Setup stage changes to a Data IN/OUT stage, the core writes an entry
(Setup stage done word) to the receive FIFO, indicating the completion of the Setup
stage.
4. On the AHB side, SETUP packets are emptied by the application.
5. When the application pops the Setup stage done word from the receive FIFO, the core
interrupts the application with an STUP interrupt (OTG_FS_DOEPINTx), indicating it
can process the received SETUP packet.
– The core clears the endpoint enable bit for control OUT endpoints.
• Application programming sequence
1. Program the OTG_FS_DOEPTSIZx register.
– STUPCNT = 3
2. Wait for the RXFLVL interrupt (OTG_FS_GINTSTS) and empty the data packets from
the receive FIFO.
3. Assertion of the STUP interrupt (OTG_FS_DOEPINTx) marks a successful completion
of the SETUP Data Transfer.
– On this interrupt, the application must read the OTG_FS_DOEPTSIZx register to
determine the number of SETUP packets received and process the last received
SETUP packet.

• 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 controller generates an
interrupt (B2BSTUP in OTG_FS_DOEPINTx).
• Setting the global OUT NAK
Internal data flow
1. When the application sets the Global OUT NAK (SGONAK bit in OTG_FS_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_FS_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_FS_DCTL.

786/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 USB on-the-go full-speed (OTG_FS)

Application programming sequence

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_FS_DCTL
2. Wait for the assertion of the GONAKEFF interrupt in OTG_FS_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_FS_DCTL and before the core asserts the GONAKEFF interrupt
(OTG_FS_GINTSTS).
4. The application can temporarily mask this interrupt by writing to the GINAKEFFM bit in
the OTG_FS_GINTMSK register.
– GINAKEFFM = 0 in the OTG_FS_GINTMSK register
5. Whenever the application is ready to exit the Global OUT NAK mode, it must clear the
SGONAK bit in OTG_FS_DCTL. This also clears the GONAKEFF interrupt
(OTG_FS_GINTSTS).
– OTG_FS_DCTL = 1 in CGONAK
6. If the application has masked this interrupt earlier, it must be unmasked as follows:
– GINAKEFFM = 1 in 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_FS_DCTL
2. Wait for the GONAKEFF interrupt (OTG_FS_GINTSTS)
3. Disable the required OUT endpoint by programming the following fields:
– EPDIS = 1 in OTG_FS_DOEPCTLx
– SNAK = 1 in OTG_FS_DOEPCTLx
4. Wait for the EPDISD interrupt (OTG_FS_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_FS_DOEPCTLx
– EPENA = 0 in OTG_FS_DOEPCTLx
5. The application must clear the Global OUT NAK bit to start receiving data from other
non-disabled OUT endpoints.
– SGONAK = 0 in OTG_FS_DCTL
• Generic non-isochronous OUT data transfers
This section describes a regular non-isochronous OUT data transfer (control, bulk, or
interrupt).
Application requirements
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.

RM0383 Rev 3 787/844

806
USB on-the-go full-speed (OTG_FS) RM0383

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.
– transfer size[EPNUM] = n × (MPSIZ[EPNUM] + 4 – (MPSIZ[EPNUM] mod 4))
– packet count[EPNUM] = n
– n>0
3. 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
1. The application must set the transfer size and packet count fields in the endpoint-
specific 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 non-
isochronous OUT data packets that the host, which cannot detect the ACK, re-
sends. 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, non-
isochronous 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 non-
isochronous data packets are ignored and not written to the receive FIFO, and non-
isochronous 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)
7. 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.

788/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 USB on-the-go full-speed (OTG_FS)

Application programming sequence

1. Program the OTG_FS_DOEPTSIZx register for the transfer size and the corresponding
packet count.
2. Program the OTG_FS_DOEPCTLx register with the endpoint characteristics, and set
the EPENA and CNAK bits.
– EPENA = 1 in OTG_FS_DOEPCTLx
– CNAK = 1 in OTG_FS_DOEPCTLx
3. Wait for the RXFLVL interrupt (in OTG_FS_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_FS_DOEPINTx) marks a successful completion of
the non-isochronous OUT data transfer.
5. Read the OTG_FS_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_FS_GINTSTS).
4. To receive data in the following frame, an isochronous OUT endpoint must be enabled
after the EOPF (OTG_FS_GINTSTS) and before the SOF (OTG_FS_GINTSTS).
Internal data flow
1. The internal data flow for isochronous OUT endpoints is the same as that for non-
isochronous 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:
– EONUM (in OTG_FS_DOEPCTLx) = SOFFN[0] (in OTG_FS_DSTS)
3. 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_FS_DOEPTSIZx with the data PID of the last isochronous OUT data packet read
from the receive FIFO.

RM0383 Rev 3 789/844

806
USB on-the-go full-speed (OTG_FS) RM0383

Application programming sequence

1. Program the OTG_FS_DOEPTSIZx register for the transfer size and the corresponding
packet count
2. Program the OTG_FS_DOEPCTLx register with the endpoint characteristics and set
the Endpoint Enable, ClearNAK, and Even/Odd frame bits.
– EPENA = 1
– CNAK = 1
– EONUM = (0: Even/1: Odd)
3. Wait for the RXFLVL interrupt (in OTG_FS_GINTSTS) and empty the data packets
from the receive FIFO
– This step can be repeated many times, depending on the transfer size.
4. The assertion of the XFRC interrupt (in OTG_FS_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 IISOOXFRM interrupt in OTG_FS_GINTSTS.
6. Read the OTG_FS_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 = D0 (in OTG_FS_DOEPTSIZx) and the number of USB packets in
which this payload was received = 1
– RXDPID = D1 (in OTG_FS_DOEPTSIZx) and the number of USB packets in
which this payload was received = 2
– RXDPID = D2 (in OTG_FS_DOEPTSIZx) and the number of USB packets in
which this payload was received = 3
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. For isochronous OUT endpoints, the XFRC interrupt (in OTG_FS_DOEPINTx) may not
always be asserted. If the core drops isochronous OUT data packets, the application
could fail to detect the XFRC interrupt (OTG_FS_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
2. 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
(IISOOXFRM in OTG_FS_GINTSTS), indicating that an XFRC interrupt (in
OTG_FS_DOEPINTx) is not asserted on at least one of the isochronous OUT

790/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 USB on-the-go full-speed (OTG_FS)

endpoints. At 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 IISOOXFRM interrupt (OTG_FS_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.
– When all data are emptied from the receive FIFO, the application can detect the
XFRC interrupt (OTG_FS_DOEPINTx). In this case, the application must re-
enable the endpoint to receive isochronous OUT data in the next frame.
3. When it receives an IISOOXFRM interrupt (in OTG_FS_GINTSTS), the application
must read the control registers of all isochronous OUT endpoints
(OTG_FS_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_FS_DOEPCTLx) = SOFFN[0] (in OTG_FS_DSTS)
– EPENA = 1 (in OTG_FS_DOEPCTLx)
4. The previous step must be performed before the SOF interrupt (in OTG_FS_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_FS_DOEPCTLx.
6. Wait for the EPDIS interrupt (in OTG_FS_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. Put the core in the Global OUT NAK mode.
2. Disable the required endpoint
– When disabling the endpoint, instead of setting the SNAK bit in
OTG_FS_DOEPCTL, set STALL = 1 (in OTG_FS_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_FS_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.

by setting CNAK = 1 and EPENA = 1 (in OTG_FS_DOEPCTLx), and setting a suitable
XFRSIZ and PKTCNT in the OTG_FS_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 RxFIFO
because space is available there.
3. After writing the complete packet in the RxFIFO, the core then asserts the RXFLVL
interrupt (in OTG_FS_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 RxFIFO.
6. When the application has read all the data (equivalent to XFRSIZ), the core generates
an XFRC interrupt (in OTG_FS_DOEPINTx).
7. The application processes the interrupt and uses the setting of the XFRC interrupt bit
(in OTG_FS_DOEPINTx) to determine that the intended transfer is complete.

IN data transfers
• Packet write
This section describes how the application writes data packets to the endpoint FIFO when
dedicated transmit FIFOs are enabled.
1. The application can either choose the polling or the interrupt mode.

792/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 USB on-the-go full-speed (OTG_FS)

– In polling mode, the application monitors the status of the endpoint transmit data
FIFO by reading the OTG_FS_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_FS_DIEPINTx) and then reads the OTG_FS_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.
2. 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_FS_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_FS_DIEPINTx in response to the SNAK bit in OTG_FS_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_FS_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_FS_DIEPCTLx
2. Wait for assertion of the INEPNE interrupt in OTG_FS_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
DIEPMSK.
– INEPNEM = 0 in DIEPMSK
5. To exit Endpoint NAK mode, the application must clear the NAK status bit (NAKSTS) in
OTG_FS_DIEPCTLx. This also clears the INEPNE interrupt (in OTG_FS_DIEPINTx).
– CNAK = 1 in OTG_FS_DIEPCTLx
6. If the application masked this interrupt earlier, it must be unmasked as follows:

RM0383 Rev 3 793/844

806
USB on-the-go full-speed (OTG_FS) RM0383

– INEPNEM = 1 in DIEPMSK
• IN endpoint disable
Use the following sequence to disable a specific IN endpoint that has been previously
enabled.
Application programming sequence
1. The application must stop writing data on the AHB for the IN endpoint to be disabled.
2. The application must set the endpoint in NAK mode.
– SNAK = 1 in OTG_FS_DIEPCTLx
3. Wait for the INEPNE interrupt in OTG_FS_DIEPINTx.
4. Set the following bits in the OTG_FS_DIEPCTLx register for the endpoint that must be
disabled.
– EPDIS = 1 in OTG_FS_DIEPCTLx
– SNAK = 1 in OTG_FS_DIEPCTLx
5. Assertion of the EPDISD interrupt in OTG_FS_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_FS_DIEPCTLx
– EPDIS = 0 in OTG_FS_DIEPCTLx
6. The application must read the OTG_FS_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_FS_GRSTCTL register:
– TXFNUM (in OTG_FS_GRSTCTL) = Endpoint transmit FIFO number
– TXFFLSH in (OTG_FS_GRSTCTL) = 1
The application must poll the OTG_FS_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
– To transmit a single zero-length data packet:
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

794/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 USB on-the-go full-speed (OTG_FS)

first sends maximum-packet-size data packets and the second sends the zero-
length 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 – core-
updated 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 endpoint-
specific 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 TxFIFO 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.
Application programming sequence
1. Program the OTG_FS_DIEPTSIZx register with the transfer size and corresponding
packet count.
2. Program the OTG_FS_DIEPCTLx register with the endpoint characteristics and set the
CNAK and EPENA (Endpoint Enable) bits.
3. When transmitting non-zero length data packet, the application must poll the
OTG_FS_DTXFSTSx register (where x is the FIFO number associated with that

RM0383 Rev 3 795/844

806
USB on-the-go full-speed (OTG_FS) RM0383

endpoint) to determine whether there is enough space in the data FIFO. The
application can optionally use TXFE (in OTG_FS_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 794 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 zero-
length data packet:
– transfer size[EPNUM] = 0
packet count[EPNUM] = 1
MCNT[EPNUM] = packet count[EPNUM]
2. The application can only schedule data transfers one frame at a time.
– (MCNT – 1) × MPSIZ ≤ XFERSIZ ≤ MCNT × MPSIZ
– PKTCNT = MCNT (in OTG_FS_DIEPTSIZx)
– If XFERSIZ < MCNT × MPSIZ, the last data packet of the transfer is a short
packet.
– Note that: MCNT is in OTG_FS_DIEPTSIZx, MPSIZ is in OTG_FS_DIEPCTLx,
PKTCNT is in OTG_FS_DIEPTSIZx and XFERSIZ is in OTG_FS_DIEPTSIZx
3. 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
Internal data flow

796/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 USB on-the-go full-speed (OTG_FS)

1. The application must set the transfer size and packet count fields in the endpoint-
specific 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 TxFIFO empty interrupt for the endpoint.
– 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
5. 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.
6. At the “Periodic frame Interval” (controlled by PFIVL in OTG_FS_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_FS_GINTSTS.
Application programming sequence
1. Program the OTG_FS_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_FS_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_FS_DIEPINTx) with no ITTXFE interrupt in
OTG_FS_DIEPINTx indicates the successful completion of an isochronous IN transfer.
A read to the OTG_FS_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_FS_DIEPINTx), with or without the ITTXFE
interrupt (in OTG_FS_DIEPINTx), indicates the successful completion of an interrupt
IN transfer. A read to the OTG_FS_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_FS_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.

RM0383 Rev 3 797/844

806
USB on-the-go full-speed (OTG_FS) RM0383

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_FS_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 TxFIFO
empty interrupt in OTG_FS_DIEPINTx. The application can ignore this interrupt,
as it eventually results in an incomplete isochronous IN transfer interrupt
(IISOIXFR in OTG_FS_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 TxFIFO empty interrupt in
OTG_FS_DIEPINTx on any isochronous IN endpoint, as it eventually results in an
incomplete isochronous IN transfer interrupt (in OTG_FS_GINTSTS).
2. Assertion of the incomplete isochronous IN transfer interrupt (in OTG_FS_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_FS_DIEPCTLx register to disable the
endpoint:
– SNAK = 1 in OTG_FS_DIEPCTLx
– EPDIS = 1 in OTG_FS_DIEPCTLx
6. The assertion of the Endpoint Disabled interrupt in OTG_FS_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_FS_GRSTCTL register.
• Stalling non-isochronous IN endpoints
This section describes how the application can stall a non-isochronous endpoint.
Application programming sequence

798/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 USB on-the-go full-speed (OTG_FS)

1. Disable the IN endpoint to be stalled. Set the STALL bit as well.

2. EPDIS = 1 in OTG_FS_DIEPCTLx, when the endpoint is already enabled
– STALL = 1 in OTG_FS_DIEPCTLx
– The STALL bit always takes precedence over the NAK bit
3. Assertion of the Endpoint Disabled interrupt (in OTG_FS_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_FS_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_FS_DIEPINTx and the OTEPDIS
interrupt in OTG_FS_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.

22.17.7 Worst case response time

When the OTG_FS 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_FS_GUSBCFG

The value in TRDT (OTG_FS_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.

RM0383 Rev 3 799/844

806
USB on-the-go full-speed (OTG_FS) RM0383

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_FS_GUSBCFG).
Figure 261 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
Refer to Table 132: TRDT values for the values of TRDT versus AHB clock frequency.

22.17.8 OTG programming model

The OTG_FS 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 controller turns off VBUS
to conserve power. SRP is a method by which the B-device signals the A-device 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 controller to detect SRP as an A-device.

1. 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. PHY indicates port power off by deasserting the VBUS_VALID signal.
3. 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 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 controller interrupts the application on detecting SRP. The Session
request detected bit is set in Global interrupt status register (SRQINT set in
OTG_FS_GINTSTS).
6. The application must service the Session request detected interrupt and turn on the
port power bit by writing the port power bit in the host port control and status register.
The PHY indicates port power-on by asserting the VBUS_VALID signal.
7. When the USB is powered, the device connects, completing the SRP process.

B-device session request protocol

The application must set the SRP-capable bit in the Core USB configuration register. This
enables the OTG_FS controller to initiate SRP as a B-device. SRP is a means by which the
OTG_FS controller can request a new session from the host.

1. To save power, the host suspends and turns off port power when the bus is idle.
The OTG_FS controller sets the early suspend bit in the Core interrupt register after 3
ms of bus idleness. Following this, the OTG_FS controller sets the USB suspend bit in
the Core interrupt register.
The OTG_FS 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 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_FS_GOTGCTL) is deasserted. This
discharge time can be obtained from the transceiver vendor and varies from one
transceiver to another.
3. The USB OTG 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 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 controller performs VBUS pulsing.
The host starts a new session by turning on VBUS, indicating SRP success. The
OTG_FS controller interrupts the application by setting the session request success
status change bit in the OTG interrupt status register. The application reads the session
request success bit in the OTG control and status register.
7. When the USB is powered, the OTG_FS controller connects, completing the SRP
process.

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
controller to perform HNP as an A-device.

1. The OTG_FS controller sends the B-device a SetFeature b_hnp_enable descriptor to

enable HNP support. The B-device’s ACK response indicates that the B-device
supports HNP. The application must set host Set HNP Enable bit in the OTG Control
and status register to indicate to the OTG_FS controller that the B-device 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 controller sets the host negotiation detected interrupt in the OTG
interrupt status register, indicating the start of HNP.
The OTG_FS controller deasserts the DM pull down and DM pull down in the PHY to
indicate a device role. The PHY enables the OTG_FS_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 controller for data traffic.
5. The B-device continues the host role, initiating traffic, and suspends the bus when
done.
The OTG_FS controller sets the early suspend bit in the Core interrupt register after 3
ms of bus idleness. Following this, the OTG_FS controller sets the USB Suspend bit in
the Core interrupt register.
6. In Negotiated mode, the OTG_FS controller detects the suspend, disconnects, and
switches back to the host role. The OTG_FS 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 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 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.
8. The B-device connects, completing the HNP process.

23.1 Overview
The STM32F411xC/E is built around a Cortex®-M4 with FPU core which contains hardware
extensions for advanced debugging features. The debug extensions allow the core to be
stopped either on a given instruction fetch (breakpoint) or data access (watchpoint). When
stopped, the core’s internal state and the system’s external state may be examined. Once
examination is complete, the core and the system may be restored and program execution
resumed.
The debug features are used by the debugger host when connecting to and debugging the
STM32F411xC/E MCUs.
Two interfaces for debug are available:
• Serial wire
• JTAG debug port

The Arm® Cortex®-M4 with FPU core provides integrated on-chip debug support. It is
comprised of:
• SWJ-DP: Serial wire / JTAG debug port
• AHP-AP: AHB access port
• ITM: Instrumentation trace macrocell
• FPB: Flash patch breakpoint
• DWT: Data watchpoint trigger
• TPUI: Trace port unit interface (available on larger packages, where the corresponding
pins are mapped)
• ETM: Embedded Trace Macrocell (available on larger packages, where the
corresponding pins are mapped)
It also includes debug features dedicated to the STM32F411xC/E:
• Flexible debug pinout assignment
• MCU debug box (support for low-power modes, control over peripheral clocks, etc.)
Note: For further information on debug functionality supported by the Arm® Cortex®-M4 with FPU
core, refer to the Cortex®-M4 with FPU -r0p1 Technical Reference Manual and to the
CoreSight Design Kit-r0p1 TRM (see Section 23.2: Reference Arm® documentation).

(see Related documents on page 1)
• Arm® Debug Interface V5
• Arm® CoreSight Design Kit revision r0p1 Technical Reference Manual

23.3 SWJ debug port (serial wire and JTAG)

The core of the STM32F411xC/E integrates the Serial Wire / JTAG Debug Port (SWJ-DP). It
is an Arm® standard CoreSight debug port that combines a JTAG-DP (5-pin) interface and a
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.

808/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 Debug support (DBG)

Figure 267. SWJ debug port

Figure 267 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.

23.3.1 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:
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

23.4 Pinout and debug port pins

The STM32F411xC/E MCUs are available in various packages with different numbers of
available pins. As a result, some functionality (ETM) related to pin availability may differ
between packages.

RM0383 Rev 3 809/844

837
Debug support (DBG) RM0383

23.4.1 SWJ debug port pins

Five pins are used as outputs from the STM32F411xC/E for the SWJ-DP as alternate
functions of general-purpose I/Os. These pins are available on all packages.

23.4.2 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 STM32F411xC/E MCU offers the possibility of disabling some or all of the
SWJ-DP ports and so, of releasing the associated pins for general-purpose IO (GPIO)
usage. For more details on how to disable SWJ-DP port pins, please refer to Section 8.3.2:
I/O pin multiplexer and mapping.

Note: 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 nTRST, 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.).

810/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 Debug support (DBG)

23.4.3 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-upJTDI: Internal pull-upJTMS/SWDIO: Internal pull-upTCK/SWCLK:
Internal pull-downOnce 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.

837
Debug support (DBG) RM0383

23.4.4 Using serial wire and releasing the unused debug pins as GPIOs
To use the serial wire DP to release some GPIOs, the user software mustchange 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:
• 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.
Note: 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.

23.5 STM32F411xC/E JTAG TAP connection

The STM32F411xC/E MCUs integrate two serially connected JTAG TAPs, the boundary
scan TAP (IR is 5-bit wide) and the Cortex®-M4 with FPU TAP (IR is 4-bit wide).
To access the TAP of the Cortex®-M4 with FPU for debug purposes:
1. First, it is necessary to shift the BYPASS instruction of the boundary scan TAP.
2. Then, for each IR shift, the scan chain contains 9 bits (=5+4) and the unused TAP
instruction must be shifted in using the BYPASS instruction.
3. For each data shift, the unused TAP, which is in BYPASS mode, adds 1 extra data bit in
the data scan chain.
Note: Important: Once Serial-Wire is selected using the dedicated Arm® JTAG sequence, the
boundary scan TAP is automatically disabled (JTMS forced high).

23.6 ID codes and locking mechanism

There are several ID codes inside the STM32F411xx 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.

23.6.1 MCU device ID code

number and the die revision. It is part of the DBG_MCU component and is mapped on the
external PPB bus (see Section 23.16 on page 826). This code is accessible using the JTAG
debug port (four to five 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.

23.8 SW debug port

23.8.1 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.

23.8.2 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

23.8.3 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
0x2BA01477 (corresponding to Cortex®-M4 with FPU r0p1).
Note: Note that the SW-DP state machine is inactive until the target reads this ID code.
• The SW-DP state machine is in RESET STATE either after power-on reset, or after the
DP has switched from JTAG to SWD or after the line is high for more than 50 cycles
• The SW-DP state machine is in IDLE STATE if the line is low for at least two cycles
after RESET state.
• After RESET state, it is mandatory to first enter into an IDLE state AND to perform a
READ access of the DP-SW ID CODE register. Otherwise, the target will issue a
FAULT acknowledge response on another transactions.
Further details of the SW-DP state machine can be found in the Cortex®-M4 with FPU r0p1
TRM and the CoreSight Design Kit r0p1 TRM.

23.8.4 DP and AP read/write accesses

• Read accesses to the DP are not posted: the target response can be immediate (if
ACK=OK) or can be delayed (if ACK=WAIT).
• Read accesses to the AP are posted. This means that the result of the access is
returned on the next transfer. If the next access to be done is NOT an AP access, then
the DP-RDBUFF register must be read to obtain the result.
The READOK flag of the DP-CTRL/STAT register is updated on every AP read access
or RDBUFF read request to know if the AP read access was successful.
• The SW-DP implements a write buffer (for both DP or AP writes), that enables it to
accept a write operation even when other transactions are still outstanding. If the write
buffer is full, the target acknowledge response is “WAIT”. With the exception of

818/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 Debug support (DBG)

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.

23.8.6 SW-AP registers

Access to these registers are initiated when APnDP=1
There are many AP Registers (see AHB-AP) addressed as the combination of:
• The shifted value A[3:2]
• The current value of the DP SELECT register

23.9 AHB-AP (AHB access port) - valid for both JTAG-DP

and SW-DP
Features:
• System access is independent of the processor status.
• Either SW-DP or JTAG-DP accesses AHB-AP.
• The AHB-AP is an AHB master into the Bus Matrix. Consequently, it can access all the
data buses (Dcode Bus, System Bus, internal and external PPB bus) but the ICode
bus.
• Bitband transactions are supported.
• AHB-AP transactions bypass the FPB.
The address of the 32-bits AHP-AP resisters are 6-bits wide (up to 64 words or 256 bytes)
and consists of:
c) Bits [7:4] = the bits [7:4] APBANKSEL of the DP SELECT register
d) Bits [3:2] = the 2 address bits of A[3:2] of the 35-bit packet request for SW-DP.
The AHB-AP of the Cortex®-M4 with FPU includes 9 x 32-bits registers:

23.10 Core debug

Core debug is accessed through the core debug registers. Debug access to these registers
is by means of the Advanced High-performance Bus (AHB-AP) port. The processor can
access these registers directly over the internal Private Peripheral Bus (PPB).
It consists of 4 registers:

DHCSR This provides status information about the state of the processor enable core debug
halt and step the processor
The 17-bit Debug Core Register Selector Register:
DCRSR
This selects the processor register to transfer data to or from.
The 32-bit Debug Core Register Data Register:
DCRDR This holds data for reading and writing registers to and from the processor selected
by the DCRSR (Selector) register.
The 32-bit Debug Exception and Monitor Control Register:
DEMCR This provides Vector Catching and Debug Monitor Control. This register contains a
bit named TRCENA which enable the use of a TRACE.

Note: Important: these registers are not reset by a system reset. They are only reset by a power-
on reset.
Refer to the Cortex®-M4 with FPU r0p1 TRM for further details.
To Halt on reset, it is necessary to:
• enable the bit0 (VC_CORRESET) of the Debug and Exception Monitor Control
Register
• enable the bit0 (C_DEBUGEN) of the Debug Halting Control and Status Register.

23.11 Capability of the debugger host to connect under system

reset
The reset system of the STM32F411xC/E 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®-M4 with FPU differentiates the reset of the debug part (generally
PORRESETn) and the other one (SYSRESETn)
This way, it is possible for the debugger to connect under System Reset, programming the
Core Debug Registers to halt the core when fetching the reset vector. Then the host can
release the system reset and the core will immediately halt without having executed any
instructions. In addition, it is possible to program any debug features under System Reset.
Note: It is highly recommended for the debugger host to connect (set a breakpoint in the reset
vector) under system reset.

23.12 FPB (Flash patch breakpoint)

The FPB unit:
• implements hardware breakpoints
• patches code and data from code space to system space. This feature gives the
possibility to correct software bugs located in the Code Memory Space.
The use of a Software Patch or a Hardware Breakpoint is exclusive.
The FPB consists of:
• 2 literal comparators for matching against literal loads from Code Space and remapping
to a corresponding area in the System Space.
• 6 instruction comparators for matching against instruction fetches from Code Space.
They can be used either to remap to a corresponding area in the System Space or to
generate a Breakpoint Instruction to the core.

23.13 DWT (data watchpoint trigger)

The DWT unit consists of four comparators. They are configurable as:
• a hardware watchpoint or
• a trigger to an ETM or
• a PC sampler or
• a data address sampler
The DWT also provides some means to give some profiling informations. For this, some
counters are accessible to give the number of:
• Clock cycle
• Folded instructions
• Load store unit (LSU) operations
• Sleep cycles
• CPI (clock per instructions)
• Interrupt overhead

23.14 ITM (instrumentation trace macrocell)

23.14.1 General description

The ITM is an application-driven trace source that supports printf style debugging to trace
Operating System (OS) and application events, and emits diagnostic system information.
The ITM emits trace information as packets which can be generated as:
• Software trace. Software can write directly to the ITM stimulus registers to emit
packets.
• Hardware trace. The DWT generates these packets, and the ITM emits them.
• Time stamping. Timestamps are emitted relative to packets. The ITM contains a 21-bit
counter to generate the timestamp. The Cortex®-M4 with FPU clock or the bit clock rate
of the Serial Wire Viewer (SWV) output clocks the counter.
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 programming or using the ITM.

23.14.2 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.

RM0383 Rev 3 823/844

837
Debug support (DBG) RM0383

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.

23.15 ETM (Embedded trace macrocell)

23.15.1 ETM 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 23.13: 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 23.17: TPIU (trace port
interface unit)) and then outputs the complete packet sequence to the debugger host.

23.16 MCU debug component (DBGMCU)

The MCU debug component helps the debugger provide support for:
• Low-power modes
• Clock control for timers, watchdog and I2C during a breakpoint
• Control of the trace pins assignment

23.16.1 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.

826/844 RM0383 Rev 3

RM0383 Debug support (DBG)

The core does not allow FCLK or HCLK to be turned off during a debug session. As these
are required for the debugger connection, during a debug, they must remain active. The
MCU integrates special means to allow the user to debug software in low-power modes.
For this, the debugger host must first set some debug configuration registers to change the
low-power mode behavior:
• In Sleep mode, DBG_SLEEP bit of DBGMCU_CR register must be previously set by
the debugger. This will feed HCLK with the same clock that is provided to FCLK
(system clock previously configured by the software).
• In Stop mode, the bit DBG_STOP must be previously set by the debugger. This will
enable the internal RC oscillator clock to feed FCLK and HCLK in STOP mode.

23.16.2 Debug support for timers, watchdog 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 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.

23.16.3 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
• 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.

need to reconfigure the clock controller.

23.17 TPIU (trace port interface unit)

23.17.1 Introduction
The TPIU acts as a bridge between the on-chip trace data from the ITM and the ETM.
The output data stream encapsulates the trace source ID, that is then captured by a trace
port analyzer (TPA).
The core embeds a simple TPIU, especially designed for low-cost debug (consisting of a
special version of the CoreSight TPIU).

• Synchronous mode
The synchronous mode requires from 2 to 6 extra pins depending on the data trace
size and is only available in the larger packages. In addition it is available in JTAG
mode and in Serial Wire mode and provides better bandwidth output capabilities than
asynchronous trace.

TPUI TRACE pin assignment

By default, these pins are NOT assigned. They can be assigned by setting the
TRACE_IOEN and TRACE_MODE bits in the MCU Debug component configuration
register. This configuration has to be done by the debugger host.
In addition, the number of pins to assign depends on the trace configuration (asynchronous
or synchronous).
• Asynchronous mode: 1 extra pin is needed
• Synchronous mode: from 2 to 5 extra pins are needed depending on the size of the
data trace port register (1, 2 or 4):
– TRACECK
– TRACED(0) if port size is configured to 1, 2 or 4
– TRACED(1) if port size is configured to 2 or 4
– TRACED(2) if port size is configured to 4
– TRACED(3) if port size is configured to 4
To assign the TRACE pin, the debugger host must program the bits TRACE_IOEN and
TRACE_MODE[1:0] of the Debug MCU configuration Register (DBGMCU_CR). By default
the TRACE pins are not assigned.
This register is mapped on the external PPB and is reset by the PORESET (and not by the
SYSTEM reset). It can be written by the debugger under SYSTEM reset.

Note: By default, the TRACECLKIN input clock of the TPIU is tied to GND. It is assigned to HCLK
two clock cycles after the bit TRACE_IOEN has been set.
The debugger must then program the Trace Mode by writing the PROTOCOL[1:0] bits in the
SPP_R (Selected Pin Protocol) register of the TPIU.
• PROTOCOL=00: Trace Port Mode (synchronous)
• PROTOCOL=01 or 10: Serial Wire (Manchester or NRZ) Mode (asynchronous mode).

23.17.3 TPUI formatter

The formatter protocol outputs data in 16-byte frames:
• seven bytes of data
• eight bytes of mixed-use bytes consisting of:
– 1 bit (LSB) to indicate it is a DATA byte (‘0) or an ID byte (‘1).
– 7 bits (MSB) which can be data or change of source ID trace.
• one byte of auxiliary bits where each bit corresponds to one of the eight mixed-use
bytes:
– if the corresponding byte was a data, this bit gives bit0 of the data.
– if the corresponding byte was an ID change, this bit indicates when that ID change
takes effect.

23.17.4 TPUI frame synchronization packets

The TPUI can generate two types of synchronization packets:
• The Frame Synchronization packet (or Full Word Synchronization packet)
It consists of the word: 0x7F_FF_FF_FF (LSB emitted first). This sequence can not
occur at any other time provided that the ID source code 0x7F has not been used.
It is output periodically between frames.
In continuous mode, the TPA must discard all these frames once a synchronization
frame has been found.
• The Half-Word Synchronization packet
It consists of the half word: 0x7F_FF (LSB emitted first).
It is output periodically between or within frames.
These packets are only generated in continuous mode and enable the TPA to detect
that the TRACE port is in IDLE mode (no TRACE to be captured). When detected by
the TPA, it must be discarded.

23.17.5 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 TPUI Frame synchronization packet (0x7F_FF_FF_FF) is emitted:
• after each TPIU reset release. This reset is synchronously released with the rising
edge of the TRACECLKIN clock. This means that this packet is transmitted when the
TRACE_IOEN bit in the DBGMCU_CFG register is set. In this case, the word
0x7F_FF_FF_FF is not followed by any formatted packet.
• at each DWT trigger (assuming DWT has been previously configured). Two cases
occur:
– If the bit SYNENA of the ITM is reset, only the word 0x7F_FF_FF_FF is emitted
without any formatted stream which follows.
– If the bit SYNENA of the ITM is set, then the ITM synchronization packets will
follow (0x80_00_00_00_00_00), formatted by the TPUI (trace source ID added).

23.17.6 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.

23.17.7 Asynchronous mode

This is a low cost alternative to output the trace using only 1 pin: this is the asynchronous
output pin TRACESWO. Obviously there is a limited bandwidth.
TRACESWO is multiplexed with JTDO when using the SW-DP pin. This way, this
functionality is available in all STM32F411xC/E 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%.

23.17.8 TRACECLKIN connection inside the STM32F411xC/E

In the STM32F411xC/E, this TRACECLKIN input is internally connected to HCLK. This
means that when in asynchronous trace mode, the application is restricted to use to time
frames where the CPU frequency is stable.
Note: Important: when using asynchronous trace: it is important to be aware that:
The default clock of the STM32F411xC/E MCUs is the internal RC oscillator. Its frequency
under reset is different from the one after reset release. This is because the RC calibration
is the default one under system reset and is updated at each system reset release.
Consequently, the trace port analyzer (TPA) should not enable the trace (with the
TRACE_IOEN bit) under system reset, because a Synchronization Frame Packet will be
issued with a different bit time than trace packets which will be transmitted after reset
release.

23.17.9 TPIU registers

The TPIU APB registers can be read and written only if the bit TRCENA of the Debug
Exception and Monitor Control Register (DEMCR) is set. Otherwise, the registers are read
as zero (the output of this bit enables the PCLK of the TPIU).

Bits 31-9 = always ‘0

Bit 8 = TrigIn = always ‘1 to indicate that triggers are indicated
Bits 7-4 = always 0
Bits 3-2 = always 0
Bit 1 = EnFCont. In Sync Trace mode (Select_Pin_Protocol register
bit1:0=00), this bit is forced to ‘1: the formatter is automatically enabled in
Formatter and flush continuous mode. In asynchronous mode (Select_Pin_Protocol register
0xE0040304
control bit1:0 <> 00), this bit can be written to activate or not the formatter.
Bit 0 = always 0
The resulting default value is 0x102
Note: In synchronous mode, because the TRACECTL pin is not mapped
outside the chip, the formatter is always enabled in continuous mode -this
way the formatter inserts some control packets to identify the source of the
trace packets).

23.17.10 Example of configuration

• Set the bit TRCENA in the Debug Exception and Monitor Control Register (DEMCR)
• Write the TPIU Current Port Size Register to the desired value (default is 0x1 for a 1-bit
port size)
• Write TPIU Formatter and Flush Control Register to 0x102 (default value)
• Write the TPIU Select Pin Protocol to select the sync or async mode. Example: 0x2 for
async NRZ mode (UART like)
• Write the DBGMCU control register to 0x20 (bit IO_TRACEN) to assign TRACE I/Os
for async mode. A TPIU Sync packet is emitted at this time (FF_FF_FF_7F)
• Configure the ITM and write the ITM Stimulus register to output a value

Device electronic signature RM0383

24 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 STM32F4xx microcontrollers.

24.1 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.
