    Study Notes

    STM32 Core Peripherals

    • STM32 microcontrollers have core peripherals that manage various functionalities
    • RCC (Reset and Clock Control): Manages system clocks, resets, and peripheral clock control.
    • NVIC (Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller): Manages interrupt prioritization and handling.
    • SYSTICK: A 24-bit system timer for interrupts and timing control.
    • SCB (System Control Block): Manages system-level control, exceptions, and power modes.
    • DMA (Direct Memory Access): Allows accessing memory directly, independent of the processor.
    • WWDG (Window Watchdog): A window-based watchdog.
    • IWDG (Independent Watchdog): An independent watchdog.

    RCC (Reset and Clock Control)

    • RCC manages system clocks, resets, and peripheral clock control
    • The RCC manages various reset types
    • System reset: triggered by an external reset (NRST pin)
    • WWDG and IWDG end-of-count conditions
    • Software reset enabled in SCB
    • Low-power management reset (occurs when entering standby or stop mode). These resets are controlled by bits in user option bytes.
    • RCC controls different clock sources:
    • HSI (High-speed internal oscillator): 8 MHz, used directly as system clock or as PLL input. Faster and cost-effective, but less accurate
    • HSE (High-speed external oscillator): External crystal or ceramic resonator. Up to 50 MHz (bypass mode); 3-25 MHz (crystal/resonator) is more accurate, but slower startup.
    • PLL (Phase-locked loop): Frequency multiplication using HSI or HSE as input.
    • 40 kHz low-speed internal RC (LSI): For timing peripherals.
    • 32.768 kHz low-speed external crystal (LSE): For real-time clock.

    SYSTICK

    • SYSTICK is a 24-bit timer
    • Its clock source can be AHB/8 (9 MHz) or AHB (72 MHz)
    • SYSTICK reload register (STK_LOAD) controls the reload value.
    • SYSTICK current value register (STK_VAL) tracks the current value of the timer.
    • SYSTICK control and status register (STK_CTRL) controls and monitors the timer.

    Resources

    • Various PDFs (RM0008.PDF, pm0214-stm32-cortexm4-mcus-and-mpus-programming-manual-stmicroelectronics.pdf) are available as resources.
    • Videos by Eng. Ahmed El are also suggested learning aids.
