3 Functional overview
Figure 1 shows the general block diagram of the STM32F072x8/xB devices.
3.1 Arm®-Cortex®-M0 core
The Arm® Cortex®-M0 is a generation of Arm 32-bit RISC processors for embedded
systems. It has been developed to provide a low-cost platform that meets the needs of MCU
implementation, with a reduced pin count and low-power consumption, while delivering
outstanding computational performance and an advanced system response to interrupts.
The Arm® Cortex®-M0 processors feature exceptional code-efficiency, delivering the high
performance expected from an Arm core, with memory sizes usually associated with 8- and
16-bit devices.
The STM32F072x8/xB devices embed Arm core and are compatible with all Arm tools and
software.
3.2 Memories
The device has the following features:
•16 Kbytes of embedded SRAM accessed (read/write) at CPU clock speed with 0 wait
states and featuring embedded parity checking with exception generation for fail-critical
applications.
•The non-volatile memory is divided into two arrays:
–64 to 128 Kbytes of embedded Flash memory for programs and data
–Option bytes
The option bytes are used to write-protect the memory (with 4 KB granularity) and/or
readout-protect the whole memory with the following options:
–Level 0: no readout protection
–Level 1: memory readout protection, the Flash memory cannot be read from or
written to if either debug features are connected or boot in RAM is selected
–Level 2: chip readout protection, debug features (Arm
and boot in RAM selection disabled
3.3 Boot modes
At startup, the boot pin and boot selector option bit are used to select one of the three boot
options:
•boot from User Flash memory
•boot from System Memory
•boot from embedded SRAM

3.4 Cyclic redundancy check calculation unit (CRC)
The CRC (cyclic redundancy check) calculation unit is used to get a CRC code using a
configurable generator polynomial value and size.
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 linktime and stored at a given memory location.

the MCU into a safe state. The PVD is enabled by software.
3.5.3 Voltage regulator
The regulator has two operating modes and it is always enabled after reset.
•Main (MR) is used in normal operating mode (Run).
•Low power (LPR) can be used in Stop mode where the power demand is reduced.
In Standby mode, it is put in power down mode. In this mode, the regulator output is in high
impedance and the kernel circuitry is powered down, inducing zero consumption (but the
contents of the registers and SRAM are lost).
3.5.4 Low-power modes
The STM32F072x8/xB microcontrollers support three low-power modes to achieve the best
compromise between low power consumption, short startup time and available wakeup
sources:
•Sleepmode
In Sleep mode, only the CPU is stopped. All peripherals continue to operate and can
wake up the CPU when an interrupt/event occurs.
•Stopmode
Stop mode achieves very low power consumption while retaining the content of SRAM
and registers. All clocks in the 1.8 V domain are stopped, the PLL, the HSI RC and the
HSE crystal oscillators are disabled. The voltage regulator can also be put either in
normal or in low power mode.
The device can be woken up from Stop mode by any of the EXTI lines. The EXTI line
source can be one of the 16 external lines, the PVD output, RTC, I2C1, USART1,
USART2, USB, COMPx, V
The CEC, USART1, USART2 and I2C1 peripherals can be configured to enable the
HSI RC oscillator so as to get clock for processing incoming data. If this is used when
the voltage regulator is put in low power mode, the regulator is first switched to normal
mode before the clock is provided to the given peripheral.
•Standbymode
The Standby mode is used to achieve the lowest power consumption. The internal
voltage regulator is switched off so that the entire 1.8 V domain is powered off. The
PLL, the HSI RC and the HSE crystal oscillators are also switched off. After entering
Standby mode, SRAM and register contents are lost except for registers in the RTC
domain and Standby circuitry.
The device exits Standby mode when an external reset (NRST pin), an IWDG reset, a
rising edge on the WKUP pins, or an RTC event occurs.
supply comparator or the CEC.
DDIO2
Note:The RTC, the IWDG, and the corresponding clock sources are not stopped by entering Stop
or Standby mode.
3.6 Clocks and startup
System clock selection is performed on startup, however the internal RC 8 MHz oscillator is
selected as default CPU clock on reset. An external 4-32 MHz clock can be selected, in
which case it is monitored for failure. If failure is detected, the system automatically switches

interrupt management of the PLL clock entry is available when necessary (for example on
failure of an indirectly used external crystal, resonator or oscillator).

Several prescalers allow the application to configure the frequency of the AHB and the APB
domains. The maximum frequency of the AHB and the APB domains is 48 MHz.
STM32F072x8 STM32F072xBFunctional overview
Additionally, also the internal RC 48 MHz oscillator can be selected for system clock or PLL
input source. This oscillator can be automatically fine-trimmed by the means of the CRS
peripheral using the external synchronization.
3.7 General-purpose inputs/outputs (GPIOs)
Each of the GPIO pins can be configured by software as output (push-pull or open-drain), as
input (with or without pull-up or pull-down) or as peripheral alternate function. Most of the
GPIO pins are shared with digital or analog alternate functions.
The I/O configuration can be locked if needed following a specific sequence in order to
avoid spurious writing to the I/Os registers.
3.8 Direct memory access controller (DMA)
The 7-channel general-purpose DMAs manage memory-to-memory, peripheral-to-memory
and memory-to-peripheral transfers.
The DMA supports circular buffer management, removing the need for user code
intervention when the controller reaches the end of the buffer.
Each channel is connected to dedicated hardware DMA requests, with support for software
trigger on each channel. Configuration is made by software and transfer sizes between
source and destination are independent.
DMA can be used with the main peripherals: SPIx, I2Sx, I2Cx, USARTx, all TIMx timers
(except TIM14), DAC and ADC.
3.9 Interrupts and events
3.9.1 Nested vectored interrupt controller (NVIC)
The STM32F0xx family embeds a nested vectored interrupt controller able to handle up to
32 maskable interrupt channels (not including the 16 interrupt lines of Cortex
priority levels.
•Interrupt entry vector table address passed directly to the core
•Closely coupled NVIC core interface
•Allows early processing of interrupts
•Processing of late arriving higher priority interrupts
•Support for tail-chaining
•Processor state automatically saved
•Interrupt entry restored on interrupt exit with no instruction overhead
This hardware block provides flexible interrupt management features with minimal interrupt
latency.

Functional overviewSTM32F072x8 STM32F072xB
3.9.2 Extended interrupt/event controller (EXTI)
The extended interrupt/event controller consists of 32 edge detector lines used to generate
interrupt/event requests and wake-up the system. Each line can be independently
configured to select the trigger event (rising edge, falling edge, both) and can be masked
independently. A pending register maintains the status of the interrupt requests. The EXTI
can detect an external line with a pulse width shorter than the internal clock period. Up to 87
GPIOs can be connected to the 16 external interrupt lines.
3.10 Analog-to-digital converter (ADC)
The 12-bit analog-to-digital converter has up to 16 external and 3 internal (temperature
sensor, voltage reference, VBAT voltage measurement) channels and performs conversions
in single-shot or scan modes. In scan mode, automatic conversion is performed on a
selected group of analog inputs.
The ADC can be served by the DMA controller.
An analog watchdog feature allows very precise monitoring of the converted voltage of one,
some or all selected channels. An interrupt is generated when the converted voltage is
outside the programmed thresholds.
3.10.1 Temperature sensor
The temperature sensor (TS) generates a voltage V
temperature.
The temperature sensor is internally connected to the ADC_IN16 input channel which is
used to convert the sensor output voltage into a digital value.
The sensor provides good linearity but it has to be calibrated to obtain good overall
accuracy of the temperature measurement. As the offset of the temperature sensor varies
from chip to chip due to process variation, the uncalibrated internal temperature sensor is
suitable for applications that detect temperature changes only.
To improve the accuracy of the temperature sensor measurement, each device is
individually factory-calibrated by ST. The temperature sensor factory calibration data are
stored by ST in the system memory area, accessible in read-only mode.

3.11 Digital-to-analog converter (DAC)
The two 12-bit buffered DAC channels can be used to convert digital signals into analog
voltage signal outputs. The chosen design structure is composed of integrated resistor
strings and an amplifier in non-inverting configuration.
This digital Interface supports the following features:
•8-bit or 12-bit monotonic output
•Left or right data alignment in 12-bit mode
•Synchronized update capability
•Noise-wave generation
•Triangular-wave generation
•Dual DAC channel independent or simultaneous conversions

3.12 Comparators (COMP)
The device embeds two fast rail-to-rail low-power comparators with programmable
reference voltage (internal or external), hysteresis and speed (low speed for low power) and
with selectable output polarity.
The reference voltage can be one of the following:
•External I/O
•DAC output pins
•Internal reference voltage or submultiple (1/4, 1/2, 3/4).Refer to Table 28: Embedded

Functional overviewSTM32F072x8 STM32F072xB
Both comparators can wake up from STOP mode, generate interrupts and breaks for the
timers and can be also combined into a window comparator.
3.13 Touch sensing controller (TSC)
The STM32F072x8/xB devices provide a simple solution for adding capacitive sensing
functionality to any application. These devices offer up to 24 capacitive sensing channels
distributed over 8 analog I/O groups.
Capacitive sensing technology is able to detect the presence of a finger near a sensor which
is protected from direct touch by a dielectric (glass, plastic...). The capacitive variation
introduced by the finger (or any conductive object) is measured using a proven
implementation based on a surface charge transfer acquisition principle. It consists in
charging the sensor capacitance and then transferring a part of the accumulated charges
into a sampling capacitor until the voltage across this capacitor has reached a specific
threshold. To limit the CPU bandwidth usage, this acquisition is directly managed by the
hardware touch sensing controller and only requires few external components to operate.
For operation, one capacitive sensing GPIO in each group is connected to an external
capacitor and cannot be used as effective touch sensing channel.
The touch sensing controller is fully supported by the STMTouch touch sensing firmware
library, which is free to use and allows touch sensing functionality to be implemented reliably
in the end application.

3.14.1 Advanced-control timer (TIM1)
The advanced-control timer (TIM1) can be seen as a three-phase PWM multiplexed on six
channels. It has complementary PWM outputs with programmable inserted dead times. It
can also be seen as a complete general-purpose timer. The four independent channels can
be used for:
•input capture
•output compare
•PWM generation (edge or center-aligned modes)
•one-pulse mode output
If configured as a standard 16-bit timer, it has the same features as the TIMx timer. If
configured as the 16-bit PWM generator, it has full modulation capability (0-100%).
The counter can be frozen in debug mode.
Many features are shared with those of the standard timers which have the same
architecture. The advanced control timer can therefore work together with the other timers
via the Timer Link feature for synchronization or event chaining.
There are six synchronizable general-purpose timers embedded in the STM32F072x8/xB
devices (see
PWM outputs, or as simple time base.
Tabl e 7 for differences). Each general-purpose timer can be used to generate
TIM2, TIM3
STM32F072x8/xB devices feature two synchronizable 4-channel general-purpose timers.
TIM2 is based on a 32-bit auto-reload up/downcounter and a 16-bit prescaler. TIM3 is based
on a 16-bit auto-reload up/downcounter and a 16-bit prescaler. They feature 4 independent
channels each for input capture/output compare, PWM or one-pulse mode output. This
gives up to 12 input captures/output compares/PWMs on the largest packages.
The TIM2 and TIM3 general-purpose timers can work together or with the TIM1 advancedcontrol timer via the Timer Link feature for synchronization or event chaining.
TIM2 and TIM3 both have independent DMA request generation.
These timers are capable of handling quadrature (incremental) encoder signals and the
digital outputs from 1 to 3 hall-effect sensors.
Their counters can be frozen in debug mode.
TIM14
This timer is based on a 16-bit auto-reload upcounter and a 16-bit prescaler.
TIM14 features one single channel for input capture/output compare, PWM or one-pulse
mode output.
Its counter can be frozen in debug mode.
TIM15, TIM16 and TIM17
These timers are based on a 16-bit auto-reload upcounter and a 16-bit prescaler.

STM32F072x8 STM32F072xBFunctional overview
TIM15 has two independent channels, whereas TIM16 and TIM17 feature one single
channel for input capture/output compare, PWM or one-pulse mode output.
The TIM15, TIM16 and TIM17 timers can work together, and TIM15 can also operate
withTIM1 via the Timer Link feature for synchronization or event chaining.
TIM15 can be synchronized with TIM16 and TIM17.
TIM15, TIM16 and TIM17 have a complementary output with dead-time generation and
independent DMA request generation.
Their counters can be frozen in debug mode.
3.14.3 Basic timers TIM6 and TIM7
These timers are mainly used for DAC trigger generation. They can also be used as generic
16-bit time bases.
3.14.4 Independent watchdog (IWDG)
The independent watchdog is based on an 8-bit prescaler and 12-bit downcounter with
user-defined refresh window. It is clocked from an independent 40 kHz internal RC and as it
operates independently from the main clock, it can operate in Stop and Standby modes. It
can be used either as a watchdog to reset the device when a problem occurs, or as a free
running timer for application timeout management. It is hardware or software configurable
through the option bytes. The counter can be frozen in debug mode.
3.14.5 System window watchdog (WWDG)
The system window watchdog is based on a 7-bit downcounter that can be set as free
running. It can be used as a watchdog to reset the device when a problem occurs. It is
clocked from the APB clock (PCLK). It has an early warning interrupt capability and the
counter can be frozen in debug mode.
3.14.6 SysTick timer
This timer is dedicated to real-time operating systems, but could also be used as a standard
down counter. It features:
•a 24-bit down counter
•autoreload capability
•maskable system interrupt generation when the counter reaches 0
•programmable clock source (HCLK or HCLK/8)
3.15 Real-time clock (RTC) and backup registers

The RTC is an independent BCD timer/counter. Its main features are the following:
•calendar with subseconds, seconds, minutes, hours (12 or 24 format), week day, date,
month, year, in BCD (binary-coded decimal) format
•automatic correction for 28, 29 (leap year), 30, and 31 day of the month
•programmable alarm with wake up from Stop and Standby mode capability
•Periodic wakeup unit with programmable resolution and period.
•on-the-fly correction from 1 to 32767 RTC clock pulses. This can be used to
synchronize the RTC with a master clock
•digital calibration circuit with 1 ppm resolution, to compensate for quartz crystal
inaccuracy
•Three anti-tamper detection pins with programmable filter. The MCU can be woken up
from Stop and Standby modes on tamper event detection
•timestamp feature which can be used to save the calendar content. This function can
be triggered by an event on the timestamp pin, or by a tamper event. The MCU can be
woken up from Stop and Standby modes on timestamp event detection
•reference clock detection: a more precise second source clock (50 or 60 Hz) can be
used to enhance the calendar precision
The RTC clock sources can be:
•a 32.768 kHz external crystal
•a resonator or oscillator
•the internal low-power RC oscillator (typical frequency of 40 kHz)
•the high-speed external clock divided by 32

The device embeds four universal synchronous/asynchronous receivers/transmitters
(USART1, USART2, USART3, USART4) which communicate at speeds of up to 6
They provide hardware management of the CTS, RTS and RS485 DE signals,
multiprocessor communication mode, master synchronous communication and single-wire
half-duplex communication mode. USART1 and USART2 support also SmartCard
communication (ISO 7816), IrDA SIR ENDEC, LIN Master/Slave capability and auto baud
rate feature, and have a clock domain independent of the CPU clock, allowing to wake up
the MCU from Stop mode.
The USART interfaces can be served by the DMA controller.
3.18 Serial peripheral interface (SPI) / Inter-integrated sound
interface (I
Two SPIs are able to communicate up to 18 Mbit/s in slave and master modes in full-duplex
and half-duplex communication modes. The 3-bit prescaler gives 8 master mode
frequencies and the frame size is configurable from 4 bits to 16 bits.
Two standard I2S interfaces (multiplexed with SPI1 and SPI2 respectively) supporting four
different audio standards can operate as master or slave at half-duplex communication
mode. They can be configured to transfer 16 and 24 or 32 bits with 16-bit or 32-bit data
resolution and synchronized by a specific signal. Audio sampling frequency from 8 kHz up to
192 kHz can be set by an 8-bit programmable linear prescaler. When operating in master
mode, they can output a clock for an external audio component at 256 times the sampling
frequency.

overhead. It has a clock domain independent from the CPU clock, allowing the HDMI_CEC
controller to wakeup the MCU from Stop mode on data reception.
3.20 Controller area network (CAN)
The CAN is compliant with specifications 2.0A and B (active) with a bit rate up to 1 Mbit/s. It
can receive and transmit standard frames with 11-bit identifiers as well as extended frames
with 29-bit identifiers. It has three transmit mailboxes, two receive FIFOs with 3 stages and
14 scalable filter banks.
3.21 Universal serial bus (USB)
The STM32F072x8/xB embeds a full-speed USB device peripheral compliant with the USB
specification version 2.0. The internal USB PHY supports USB FS signaling, embedded DP
pull-up and also battery charging detection according to Battery Charging Specification
Revision 1.2. The USB interface implements a full-speed (12 Mbit/s) function interface with
added support for USB 2.0 Link Power Management. It has software-configurable endpoint
setting with packet memory up-to 1 KB (the last 256 byte are used for CAN peripheral if
enabled) and suspend/resume support. It requires a precise 48 MHz clock which can be
generated from the internal main PLL (the clock source must use an HSE crystal oscillator)
or by the internal 48 MHz oscillator in automatic trimming mode. The synchronization for this
oscillator can be taken from the USB data stream itself (SOF signalization) which allows
crystal-less operation.
3.22 Clock recovery system (CRS)
The STM32F072x8/xB embeds a special block which allows automatic trimming of the
internal 48
operational range. This automatic trimming is based on the external synchronization signal,
which could be either derived from USB SOF signalization, from LSE oscillator, from an
external signal on CRS_SYNC pin or generated by user software. For faster lock-in during
startup it is also possible to combine automatic trimming with manual trimming action.
MHz oscillator to guarantee its optimal accuracy over the whole device
3.23 Serial wire debug port (SW-DP)
An Arm SW-DP interface is provided to allow a serial wire debugging tool to be connected to
the MCU.
