5 Power controller (PWR)

This section applies to the whole STM32F4xx family, unless otherwise specified.

5.1 Power supplies

The device requires a 1.8 to 3.6 V operating voltage supply (VDD). An embedded linear
voltage regulator is used to supply the internal 1.2 V digital power.
The real-time clock (RTC), the RTC backup registers, and the backup SRAM (BKP SRAM)
can be powered from the VBAT voltage when the main VDD supply is powered off.
Note: Depending on the operating power supply range, some peripheral may be used with limited
functionality and performance. For more details refer to section "General operating
conditions" in 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 1.8 V to VDDA.

5.1.2 Battery backup domain

Backup domain description
To retain the content of the RTC backup registers, backup SRAM, and supply the RTC when
VDD is turned off, VBAT pin can be connected to an optional standby voltage supplied by a
battery or by another source.
To allow the RTC to operate even when the main digital supply (VDD) is turned off, the VBAT
pin powers the following blocks:
• The RTC
• The LSE oscillator
• The backup SRAM when the low-power backup regulator is enabled
• PC13 to PC15 I/Os, plus PI8 I/O (when available)
The switch to the VBAT supply is controlled by the power-down reset embedded in the Reset
block.

Warning: 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 GPIOas the RTC_AF1 pin (refer to Table 37: RTC_AF1 pin 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 PI8
and PC13 to PC15 GPIOs in output mode is restricted: the speed has to be limited to 2 MHz
with a maximum load of 30 pF and these I/Os must not be used as a current source (e.g. to
drive an LED).

118/1748 DocID018909 Rev 13

RM0090 Power controller (PWR)

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_AF1 pin (refer to Table 37: RTC_AF1 pin for more
details about this pin configuration)
• PI8 can be used as RTC_AF2

Backup domain access

After reset, the backup domain (RTC registers, RTC backup register and backup SRAM) is
protected against possible unwanted write accesses. To enable access to the backup
domain, proceed as follows:
• Access to the RTC and RTC backup registers
1. Enable the power interface clock by setting the PWREN bits in the RCC_APB1ENR
register (see Section 7.3.13 and Section 6.3.13)
2. Set the DBP bit in the Section 5.4.1 and PWR power control register (PWR_CR) for
STM32F42xxx and STM32F43xxx 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 7.3.21: RCC
Backup domain control register (RCC_BDCR)
• Access to the backup SRAM
1. Enable the power interface clock by setting the PWREN bits in the RCC_APB1ENR
register (see Section 7.3.13 and Section 6.3.13 for STM32F405xx/07xx and
STM32F415xx/17xx and STM32F42xxx and STM32F43xxx, respectively)
2. Set the DBP bit in the PWR power control register (PWR_CR) for STM32F405xx/07xx
and STM32F415xx/17xx and PWR power control register (PWR_CR) for
STM32F42xxx and STM32F43xxx to enable access to the backup domain
3. Enable the backup SRAM clock by setting BKPSRAMEN bit in the RCC AHB1
peripheral clock enable register (RCC_AHB1ENR).

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 26:
Real-time clock (RTC).

Backup SRAM
The backup domain includes 4 Kbytes of backup SRAM addressed in 32-bit, 16-bit or 8-bit
mode. Its content is retained even in Standby or VBAT mode when the low-power backup
regulator is enabled. It can be considered as an internal EEPROM when VBAT is always
present.
When the backup domain is supplied by VDD (analog switch connected to VDD), the backup
SRAM is powered from VDD which replaces the VBAT power supply to save battery life.
When the backup domain is supplied by VBAT (analog switch connected to VBAT because
VDD is not present), the backup SRAM is powered by a dedicated low-power regulator. This
regulator can be ON or OFF depending whether the application needs the backup SRAM
function in Standby and VBAT modes or not. The power-down of this regulator is controlled

DocID018909 Rev 13 119/1748

149
Power controller (PWR) RM0090

by a dedicated bit, the BRE control bit of the PWR_CSR register (see Section 5.4.2: PWR
power control/status register (PWR_CSR) for STM32F405xx/07xx and
STM32F415xx/17xx).
The backup SRAM is not mass erased by an tamper event. When the Flash memory is read
protected, the backup SRAM is also read protected to prevent confidential data, such as
cryptographic private key, from being accessed. When the protection level change from
level 1 to level 0 is requested, the backup SRAM content is erased.

5.1.3 Voltage regulator for STM32F405xx/07xx and STM32F415xx/17xx

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 VCAP_2 available in all packages. Specific pins must be
connected either to VSS or VDD to activate or deactivate the voltage regulator. These pins
depend on the package.
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 or scale 2 can be configured on the fly through VOS (bit 15 of the
PWR_CR register).
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 to the 1.2 V
domain, thus preserving the content of registers and internal SRAM. The voltage

120/1748 DocID018909 Rev 13

RM0090 Power controller (PWR)

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:
The programmed voltage scale remains the same during Stop mode (see
Section 5.4.1: PWR power control register (PWR_CR) for STM32F405xx/07xx
and STM32F415xx/17xx).
• 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 STM32F405xx/07xx and
STM32F415xx/17xx datasheets.

5.1.4 Voltage regulator for STM32F42xxx and STM32F43xxx

An embedded linear voltage regulator supplies all the digital circuitries except for the backup
domain and the Standby circuitry. The regulator output voltage is around 1.2 V.
This voltage regulator requires two external capacitors to be connected to two dedicated
pins, VCAP_1 and VCAP_2 available in all packages. Specific pins must be connected either to
VSS or VDD to activate or deactivate the voltage regulator. These pins depend on the
package.
When activated by software, the voltage regulator is always enabled after Reset. It works in
three different modes depending on the application modes (Run, Stop, or Standby mode).
• In Run mode, the main regulator supplies full power to the 1.2 V domain (core,
memories and digital peripherals). In this mode, the regulator output voltage (around
1.2 V) can be scaled by software to different voltage values (scale 1, scale 2, and scale
3 can be configured through VOS[1:0] bits of the PWR_CR register). The scale can be
modified only when the PLL is OFF and the HSI or HSE clock source is selected as
system clock source. The new value programmed is active only when the PLL is ON.
When the PLL is OFF, the voltage scale 3 is automatically selected.
The voltage scaling allows optimizing the power consumption when the device is
clocked below the maximum system frequency. After exit from Stop mode, the voltage

DocID018909 Rev 13 121/1748

149
Power controller (PWR) RM0090

scale 3 is automatically selected.(see Section 5.4.1: PWR power control register

(PWR_CR) for STM32F405xx/07xx and STM32F415xx/17xx.
2 operating modes are available:
– Normal mode: The CPU and core logic operate at maximum frequency at a given
voltage scaling (scale 1, scale 2 or scale 3)
– Over-drive mode: This mode allows the CPU and the core logic to operate at a
higher frequency than the normal mode for the voltage scaling scale 1 and scale
2.
• In Stop mode: the main regulator or low-power regulator supplies a low-power voltage
to the 1.2V domain, thus preserving the content of registers and internal SRAM.
The voltage regulator can be put either in main regulator mode (MR) or in low-power
mode (LPR). Both modes can be configured by software as follows:
– Normal mode: the 1.2 V domain is preserved in nominal leakage mode. It is the
default mode when the main regulator (MR) or the low-power regulator (LPR) is
enabled.
– Under‐drive mode: the 1.2 V domain is preserved in reduced leakage mode. This
mode is only available with the main regulator or in low‐power regulator mode
(see Table 22).
• 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: Over-drive and under-drive mode are not available when the regulator is bypassed.
For more details, refer to the voltage regulator section in the STM32F42xxx and
STM32F43xxx datasheets.

RM0090 Power controller (PWR)

Entering Over-drive mode

It is recommended to enter Over-drive mode when the application is not running critical
tasks and when the system clock source is either HSI or HSE. To optimize the configuration
time, enable the Over-drive mode during the PLL lock phase.
To enter Over-drive mode, follow the sequence below:
1. Select HSI or HSE as system clock.
2. Configure RCC_PLLCFGR register and set PLLON bit of RCC_CR register.
3. Set ODEN bit of PWR_CR register to enable the Over-drive mode and wait for the
ODRDY flag to be set in the PWR_CSR register.
4. Set the ODSW bit in the PWR_CR register to switch the voltage regulator from Normal
mode to Over-drive mode. The System will be stalled during the switch but the PLL
clock system will be still running during locking phase.
5. Wait for the ODSWRDY flag in the PWR_CSR to be set.
6. Select the required Flash latency as well as AHB and APB prescalers.
7. Wait for PLL lock.
8. Switch the system clock to the PLL.
9. Enable the peripherals that are not generated by the System PLL (I2S clock, LCD-TFT
clock, SAI1 clock, USB_48MHz clock....).
Note: The PLLI2S and PLLSAI can be configured at the same time as the system PLL.
During the Over-drive switch activation, no peripheral clocks should be enabled. The
peripheral clocks must be enabled once the Over-drive mode is activated.
Entering Stop mode disables the Over-drive mode, as well as the PLL. The application
software has to configure again the Over-drive mode and the PLL after exiting from Stop
mode.

Exiting from Over-drive mode

It is recommended to exit from Over-drive mode when the application is not running critical
tasks and when the system clock source is either HSI or HSE.There are two sequences that
allow exiting from over-drive mode:
• By resetting simultaneously the ODEN and ODSW bits bit in the PWR_CR register
(sequence 1)
• By resetting first the ODSW bit to switch the voltage regulator to Normal mode and then
resetting the ODEN bit to disable the Over-drive mode (sequence 2).
Example of sequence 1:
1. Select HSI or HSE as system clock source.
2. Disable the peripheral clocks that are not generated by the System PLL (I2S clock,
LCD-TFT clock, SAI1 clock, USB_48MHz clock,....)
3. Reset simultaneously the ODEN and the ODSW bits in the PWR_CR register to switch
back the voltage regulator to Normal mode and disable the Over-drive mode.
4. Wait for the ODWRDY flag of PWR_CSR to be reset.

DocID018909 Rev 13 123/1748

149
Power controller (PWR) RM0090

Example of sequence 2:
1. Select HSI or HSE as system clock source.
2. Disable the peripheral clocks that are not generated by the System PLL (I2S clock,
LCD-TFT clock, SAI1 clock, USB_48MHz clock,....).
3. Reset the ODSW bit in the PWR_CR register to switch back the voltage regulator to
Normal mode. The system clock is stalled during voltage switching.
4. Wait for the ODWRDY flag of PWR_CSR to be reset.
5. Reset the ODEN bit in the PWR_CR register to disable the Over-drive mode.
Note: During step 3, the ODEN bit remains set and the Over-drive mode is still enabled but not
active (ODSW bit is reset). If the ODEN bit is reset instead, the Over-drive mode is disabled
and the voltage regulator is switched back to the initial voltage.

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.
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/ PDR (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) for

for STM32F42xxx and STM32F43xxx.
The PVD is enabled by setting the PVDE bit.
A PVDO flag is available, in the PWR power control/status register (PWR_CSR) for
STM32F405xx/07xx and STM32F415xx/17xx, 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)

126/1748 DocID018909 Rev 13

RM0090 Power controller (PWR)

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 237: 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.).

DocID018909 Rev 13 127/1748

149
Power controller (PWR) RM0090

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.

128/1748 DocID018909 Rev 13

RM0090 Power controller (PWR)

Peripheral clock gating is controlled by the AHB1 peripheral clock enable register
(RCC_AHB1ENR), AHB2 peripheral clock enable register (RCC_AHB2ENR), AHB3
peripheral clock enable register (RCC_AHB3ENR) (see Section 7.3.10: RCC AHB1
peripheral clock enable register (RCC_AHB1ENR), Section 7.3.11: RCC AHB2 peripheral
clock enable register (RCC_AHB2ENR), Section 7.3.12: RCC AHB3 peripheral clock
enable register (RCC_AHB3ENR) for STM32F405xx/07xx and STM32F415xx/17xx, and
Section 6.3.10: RCC AHB1 peripheral clock register (RCC_AHB1ENR), Section 6.3.11:
RCC AHB2 peripheral clock enable register (RCC_AHB2ENR), and Section 6.3.12: RCC
AHB3 peripheral clock enable register (RCC_AHB3ENR) for STM32F42xxx and
STM32F43xxx).
Disabling the peripherals clocks in Sleep mode can be performed automatically by resetting
the corresponding bit in RCC_AHBxLPENR and RCC_APBxLPENR registers.

5.3.3 Sleep mode

Entering Sleep mode
The Sleep mode is entered according to Section : Entering low-power mode, when the
SLEEPDEEP bit in the Cortex®-M4 with FPU System Control register is cleared.
Refer to Table 24 and Table 25 for details on how to enter Sleep mode.
Note: All interrupt pending bits must be cleared before the sleep mode entry.

Exiting Sleep mode

The Sleep mode is exited according to Section : Exiting low-power mode.
Refer to Table 24 and Table 25 for more details on how to exit Sleep mode.

Table 24. Sleep-now entry and exit

Sleep-now mode Description

WFI (Wait for Interrupt) or WFE (Wait for Event) while:

5.3.4 Stop mode (STM32F405xx/07xx and STM32F415xx/17xx)

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.
By setting the FPDS bit in the PWR_CR register, the Flash memory also enters power-down
mode when the device enters Stop mode. When the Flash memory is in power-down mode,
an additional startup delay is incurred when waking up from Stop mode (see Table 26: Stop
operating modes (STM32F405xx/07xx and STM32F415xx/17xx) and Section 5.4.1: PWR
power control register (PWR_CR) for STM32F405xx/07xx and STM32F415xx/17xx).

Entering Stop mode (for STM32F405xx/07xx and STM32F415xx/17xx)

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 27 for details on how to enter the Stop mode.
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) for STM32F405xx/07xx and STM32F415xx/17xx and PWR power control
register (PWR_CR) for STM32F42xxx and STM32F43xxx.
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 21.3 in Section 21: Independent watchdog (IWDG).
• Real-time clock (RTC): this is configured by the RTCEN bit in the Section 7.3.21: RCC
Backup domain control register (RCC_BDCR)
• Internal RC oscillator (LSI RC): this is configured by the LSION bit in the
Section 7.3.22: RCC clock control & status register (RCC_CSR).
• External 32.768 kHz oscillator (LSE OSC): this is configured by the LSEON bit in the
Section 7.3.21: RCC Backup domain control register (RCC_BDCR).
The ADC or DAC can also consume power during the Stop mode, unless they are disabled
before entering it. To disable them, the ADON bit in the ADC_CR2 register and the ENx bit
in the DAC_CR register must both be written to 0.

Power controller (PWR) RM0090

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 (for STM32F405xx/07xx and STM32F415xx/17xx)

The Stop mode is exited according to Section : Exiting low-power mode.
Refer to Table 27 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.

5.3.6 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, RTC backup register and backup SRAM), and Standby circuitry (see
Figure 9).

136/1748 DocID018909 Rev 13

RM0090 Power controller (PWR)

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 30 for more details on how to enter Standby mode.
In Standby mode, the following features can be selected by programming individual control
bits:
• Independent watchdog (IWDG): the IWDG is started by writing to its Key register or by
hardware option. Once started it cannot be stopped except by a reset. See
Section 21.3 in Section 21: 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) for
STM32F405xx/07xx and STM32F415xx/17xx) indicates that the MCU was in Standby
mode. All registers are reset after wakeup from Standby except for PWR_CR.

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 38.16.1: Debug support for low-power modes.

5.3.7 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 7.3.21: 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

DocID018909 Rev 13 139/1748

c) Clear the PWR Wakeup (WUF) flag

d) Enable the RTC alarm interrupt
e) Re-enter the low-power mode
• When using RTC wakeup to wake up the device from the low-power modes:
a) Disable the RTC Wakeup interrupt (WUTIE bit in the RTC_CR register)
b) Clear the RTC Wakeup (WUTF) flag
c) Clear the PWR Wakeup (WUF) flag
d) Enable the RTC Wakeup interrupt
e) Re-enter the low-power mode

b) Clear the RTC time stamp (TSF) flag
c) Clear the PWR Wakeup (WUF) flag
d) Enable the RTC TimeStamp interrupt
e) Re-enter the low-power mode

Bit 9 BRE: Backup regulator enable
When set, the Backup regulator (used to maintain backup SRAM content in Standby and
VBAT modes) is enabled. If BRE is reset, the backup regulator is switched off. The backup
SRAM can still be used but its content will be lost in the Standby and VBAT modes. Once set,
the application must wait that the Backup Regulator Ready flag (BRR) is set to indicate that
the data written into the RAM will be maintained in the Standby and VBAT modes.
0: Backup regulator disabled

Bits 15:14 VOS[1:0]: Regulator voltage scaling output selection

These bits control the main internal voltage regulator output voltage to achieve a trade-off
between performance and power consumption when the device does not operate at the
maximum frequency (refer to the STM32F42xx and STM32F43xx datasheets for more
details).
These bits can be modified only when the PLL is OFF. The new value programmed is active
only when the PLL is ON. When the PLL is OFF, the voltage scale 3 is automatically
selected.
00: Reserved (Scale 3 mode selected)

1: Low-power regulator in under-drive mode if LPDS bit is set and Flash memory in power-
down when the device is in Stop under-drive mode.
Bit 9 FPDS: Flash power-down in Stop mode
When set, the Flash memory enters power-down mode when the device enters Stop mode.
This allows to achieve a lower consumption in stop mode but a longer restart time.
0: Flash memory not in power-down when the device is in Stop mode
1: Flash memory in power-down when the device is in Stop mode
Bit 8 DBP: Disable backup domain write protection
In reset state, the RCC_BDCR register, the RTC registers (including the backup registers),
and the BRE bit of the PWR_CSR register, are protected against parasitic write access. This
bit must be set to enable write access to these registers.
