2 Power supplies
2.1 Introduction
The device requires a 2.0 to 3.6 V operating voltage supply (VDD). An embedded regulator
is used to supply the internal 1.8 V digital power.
The real-time clock (RTC) and backup registers can be powered from the VBAT voltage
when the main VDD supply is powered off.
Figure 1. Power supply overview
Note: VDDA and VSSA must be connected, respectively, to VDD and VSS.
2.1.1 Independent A/D converter supply and reference voltage
To improve the conversion accuracy, the ADC has an independent power supply that can be
filtered separately, 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 the VSSA pin
When available (depending on package), VREF– must be tied to VSSA.
On 100- and 144-pin packages
To ensure a better accuracy on low-voltage inputs, the user can connect a separate external
reference voltage ADC input on VREF+. The voltage on VREF+ can range from 2.4 V to VDDA.

On packages with 64 pins or less
The VREF+ and VREF- pins are not available, they are internally connected to the ADC
voltage supply (VDDA) and ground (VSSA).
2.1.2 Battery backup
To retain the content of the Backup registers when VDD is turned off, the VBAT pin can be
connected to an optional standby voltage supplied by a battery or another source.
The VBAT pin also powers the RTC unit, allowing the RTC to operate even when the main
digital supply (VDD) is turned off. The switch to the VBAT supply is controlled by the power
down reset (PDR) circuitry embedded in the Reset block.
If no external battery is used in the application, it is highly recommended to connect VBAT
externally to VDD.
2.1.3 Voltage regulator
The voltage regulator is always enabled after reset. It works in three different modes,
depending on the application modes:
•in Run mode, the regulator supplies full power to the 1.8 V domain (core, memories
and digital peripherals)
•in Stop mode, the regulator supplies low power to the 1.8 V domain, preserving the
contents of the registers and SRAM
•in Standby mode, the regulator is powered off. The contents of the registers and SRAM
are lost except for those concerned with the Standby circuitry and the Backup domain.
2.2 Power supply schemes
The circuit is powered by a stabilized power supply, VDD.
•The VDD pins must be connected to VDD with external decoupling capacitors (one
100 nF ceramic capacitor for each VDD pin, plus one tantalum or ceramic capacitor
(min. 4.7 µF, typ.10 µF).
•The VBAT pin can be connected to the external battery (1.8 V < VBAT < 3.6 V). If no
external battery is used, it is recommended to connect this pin to VDD with a 100 nF
external ceramic decoupling capacitor.
•The VDDA pin must be connected to two external decoupling capacitors (100 nF
ceramic + 1 µF tantalum or ceramic).
•The VREF+ pin can be connected to the VDDA external power supply. If a separate,
external reference voltage is applied on VREF+, a 100 nF and a 1 µF capacitors must be
connected on this pin. In all cases, VREF+ must be kept between 2.4 V and VDDA.
•Additional precautions can be taken to filter analog noise:
–V
DDA can be connected to VDD through a ferrite bead.
–TheV
REF+ pin can be connected to VDDA through a resistor (typ. 47 Ω).
Caution: If the ADC is used, the VDD range is limited to 2.4 to 3.6 V (when the ADC is not used, the
VDD range is 2.0 to 3.6 V).

2.3 Reset and power supply supervisor
2.3.1 Power on reset (POR) / power down reset (PDR)
The device has an integrated POR/PDR circuitry that allows proper operation starting from
2V.
The device remains in the Reset mode as long as VDD 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 in the low-
density, medium-density, high-density, XL-density, and connectivity line STM32F10xxx
datasheets.

2.3.2 Programmable voltage detector (PVD)
You can use the PVD to monitor the VDD power supply by comparing it to a threshold
selected by the PLS[2:0] bits in the Power control register (PWR_CR).
The PVD is enabled by setting the PVDE bit.
A PVDO flag is available, in the Power control/status register (PWR_CSR), to indicate
whether VDD is higher or lower than the PVD threshold. This event is internally connected to
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 the EXTI Line16 rising/falling edge
configuration. As an example the service routine can perform emergency shutdown tasks.
Figure 4. PVD thresholds
2.3.3 System reset
A system reset sets all registers to their reset values except for the reset flags in the clock
controller CSR register and the registers in the Backup domain (see Figure 1).
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)
5. Low-power management reset
The reset source can be identified by checking the reset flags in the Control/Status register,
RCC_CSR.

The STM32F1xx does not require an external reset circuit to power-up correctly. Only a pull-
down capacitor is recommended to improve EMS performance by protecting the device
against parasitic resets. See Figure 5.
Charging and discharging a pull-down capacitor through an internal resistor increases the
device power consumption. The capacitor recommended value (100 nF) can be reduced to
10 nF to limit this power consumption.

3 Clocks
Three different clock sources can be used to drive the system clock (SYSCLK):
•HSI oscillator clock (high-speed internal clock signal)
•HSE oscillator clock (high-speed external clock signal)
•PLL clock
The devices have two secondary clock sources:
•40 kHz low-speed internal RC (LSI RC), driving the independent watchdog and,
optionally, the RTC used for Auto-wakeup from the Stop/Standby modes.
•32.768 kHz low-speed external crystal (LSE crystal), optionally driving the real-time
clock (RTCCLK)
Each clock source can be switched on or off independently when it is not used, to optimize
the power consumption.
Refer to the reference manuals for the description of the clock tree:
•RM0008 for STM32F101xx, STM32F102xx, STM32F103xx and STM32F105xx/107xx
microcontrollers
•RM0041 for STM32F100xx value line microcontrollers
3.1 HSE OSC clock
The high-speed external clock signal (HSE) can be generated from two clock sources:
•HSE external crystal/ceramic resonator (see Figure 7)
•HSE user external clock (see Figure 6)
1. The value of REXT depends upon the crystal characteristics. Typical value is in the range of 5 to 6 RS
(resonator series resistance).
2. Load capacitance CLhas the following formula: CL= CL1 x CL2 / (CL1 + CL2) + Cstray, where: Cstray is the
pin capacitance and board or trace PCB-related capacitance. Typically, it is between 2 and 7 pF. Refer to
Section 6 to minimize its value.

3.1.1 External source (HSE bypass)
In this mode, an external clock source must be provided. It can have a frequency of up to:
•24 MHz for STM32F100xx value line devices
•25 MHz for STM32F101xx, STM32F102xx and STM32F103xx devices
•50 MHz for connectivity line devices
The external clock signal (square, sine or triangle) with a duty cycle of about 50%, has to
drive the OSC_IN pin while the OSC_OUT pin must be left in the high impedance state (see
Figure 7 and Figure 6).
3.1.2 External crystal/ceramic resonator (HSE crystal)
The external oscillator frequency ranges from:
•4 to 16 MHz on STM32F101xx, STM32F102xx and STM32F103xx devices
•4 to 24 MHz for STM32F100xx value line devices
•3 to 25 MHz on connectivity line devices
The external oscillator has the advantage of producing a very accurate rate on the main
clock. The associated hardware configuration is shown in Figure 7.
The resonator and the load capacitors have to be connected as close as possible to the
oscillator pins in order to minimize output distortion and startup stabilization time. The load
capacitance values must be adjusted according to the selected oscillator.
For CL1 and CL2 it is recommended to use high-quality ceramic capacitors in the 5 pF-to-
25 pF range (typ.), designed for high-frequency applications and selected to meet the
requirements of the crystal or resonator. CL1 and CL2, are usually the same value. The
crystal manufacturer typically specifies a load capacitance that is the series combination of
CL1 and CL2. The PCB and MCU pin capacitances must be included when sizing CL1 and
CL2 (10 pF can be used as a rough estimate of the combined pin and board capacitance).
Refer to the electrical characteristics sections in the datasheet for more details.

3.2 LSE OSC clock
The low-speed external clock signal (LSE) can be generated from two possible clock
sources:
•LSE external crystal/ceramic resonator (see Figure 9)
•LSE user external clock (see Figure 8)
Note: 1 “External clock” figure:
To avoid exceeding the maximum value of CL1 and CL2 (15 pF), it is strongly recommended
to use a resonator with a load capacitance CL
≤ 7 pF. Never use a resonator with a load
capacitance of 12.5 pF.

OSC32_IN and OSC_OUT pins can be used also as GPIO, but it is recommended not to
use them as both RTC and GPIO pins in the same application.
3“Crystal/ceramic resonators” figure:
The value of REXT depends on the crystal characteristics. A 0 Ωresistor works, but it is not
optimal. Typical value is in the range of 5 to 6 RS(resonator series resistance). To fine tune
RS value refer to AN2867 - Oscillator design guide for ST microcontrollers.
3.2.1 External source (LSE bypass)
In this mode, an external clock source must be provided. It can have a frequency up to
1 MHz. The external clock signal (square, sine or triangle) with a duty cycle of about 50%
must drive the OSC32_IN pin, while the OSC32_OUT pin must be left high impedance (see
Figure 9 and Figure 8).
3.2.2 External crystal/ceramic resonator (LSE crystal)
The LSE crystal is a 32.768 kHz low-speed external crystal or ceramic resonator. It has the
advantage of providing a low-power, but highly accurate clock source to the real-time clock
peripheral (RTC) for clock/calendar or other timing functions.
The resonator and the load capacitors have to be connected as close as possible to the
oscillator pins in order to minimize output distortion and startup stabilization time. The load
capacitance values must be adjusted according to the selected oscillator.

3.3 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 oscillator clock, the oscillator is automatically
disabled. A clock failure event is sent to the break input of the TIM1 advanced control
timer 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-M3 NMI (non-maskable interrupt) exception vector.
•If the HSE oscillator is used directly or indirectly as the system clock (indirectly means
that it is used as the PLL input clock, and the PLL clock is used as the system clock), a
detected failure causes a switch of the system clock to the HSI oscillator and the
disabling of the external HSE oscillator. If the HSE oscillator clock (divided or not) is the
clock entry of the PLL used as system clock when the failure occurs, the PLL is
disabled too.

manuals available from the STMicroelectronics website www.st.com.

4.1 Boot mode selection
In the STM32F10xxx, three different boot modes can be selected by means of the
BOOT[1:0] pins, as shown in Table 2.
The values on the BOOT pins are latched on the fourth 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.
The BOOT pins are also resampled when exiting the Standby mode. Consequently, they
must be kept in the required Boot mode configuration in the Standby mode. After this startup
delay has elapsed, the CPU fetches the top-of-stack value from address 0x0000 0000, and
starts code execution from the boot memory, starting from 0x0000 0004.

4.3 Embedded boot loader mode
The Embedded boot loader mode is used to reprogram the flash memory using one of the
available serial interfaces:
•In low-density, low-density value line, medium-density, medium-density value line, and
high-density devices, the boot loader is activated through the USART1 interface. For
further details refer to AN2606.
•In XL-density devices, the boot loader is activated through the USART1 or USART2
(remapped) interface. For further details refer to AN2606.
•In connectivity line devices the boot loader can be activated through one of the
following interfaces: USART1, USART2 (remapped), CAN2 (remapped) or USB OTG
FS in Device mode (DFU: device firmware upgrade).
The USART peripheral operates with the internal 8 MHz oscillator (HSI). The CAN and
USB OTG FS, however, can only function if an external 8 MHz, 14.7456 MHz or
25 MHz clock (HSE) is present. For further details, refer to AN2662.
This embedded boot loader is located in the System memory and is programmed by ST
during production.

5.1 Introduction
The Host/Target interface is the hardware equipment that connects the host to the
application board. This interface is made of three components: a hardware debug tool, a
JTAG or SW connector and a cable connecting the host to the debug tool.
Figure 11 shows the connection of the host to the evaluation board (STM3210B-EVAL,
STM3210C-EVAL, STM32100B-EVAL or STM3210E-EVAL).
The Value line evaluation board (STM32100B-EVAL or STM32100E-EVAL) embeds the
debug tools (ST-LINK). Consequently, it can be directly connected to the PC through a USB
cable.

5.2 SWJ debug port (serial wire and JTAG)
The STM32F10xxx core integrates the serial wire/JTAG debug port (SWJ-DP). It is an Arm®
standard CoreSight™ debug port that combines a JTAG-DP (5-pin) interface and a 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.
5.3 Pinout and debug port pins
The STM32F10xxx MCU is offered in various packages with different numbers of available
pins. As a result, some functionality related to the pin availability may differ from one
package to another.
5.3.1 SWJ debug port pins
Five pins are used as outputs for the SWJ-DP as alternate functions of general-purpose
I/Os (GPIOs). These pins, shown in Table 3, are available on all packages.

5.3.2 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 STM32F10xxx MCU implements a register to disable some part or all of the
SWJ-DP port, and so releases the associated pins for general-purpose I/Os usage. This
register is mapped on an APB bridge connected to the Cortex-M3 system bus. This register
is programmed by the user software program and not by the debugger host.
Table 4 shows the different possibilities to release some pins.
For more details, see the STM32F10xxx (RM0008) and STM32F100xx (RM0041) reference
manuals, available from the STMicroelectronics website www.st.com.

5.3.3 Internal pull-up and pull-down resistors on JTAG pins
The JTAG input pins must not be 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 that
is directly connected to the clock of some of these flip-flops.
To avoid any uncontrolled I/O levels, the STM32F10xxx embeds internal pull-up and pull-
down resistors on JTAG input pins:
•JNTRST: Internal pull-up
•JTDI: Internal pull-up
•JTMS/SWDIO: Internal pull-up
•TCK/SWCLK: Internal pull-down
Once a JTAG I/O is released by the user software, the GPIO controller takes control again.
The reset states of the GPIO control registers put the I/Os in the equivalent state:
•JNTRST: Input pull-up
•JTDI: Input pull-up
•JTMS/SWDIO: Input pull-up
•JTCK/SWCLK: Input pull-down
•JTDO: Input floating
The software can then use these I/Os as standard GPIOs.
Note: The JTAG IEEE standard recommends to add pull-up resistors on TDI, TMS and nTRST,
but there is no special recommendation for TCK. However, for the STM32F10xxx, an
integrated pull-down resistor is used for JTCK. Having embedded pull-up and pull-down
resistors removes the need for external resistors.
