Notes:
1. The contents of the I/O port DR registers are readable only in output configuration. In input configura-
tion, the values of the I/O pins are returned instead of the DR register contents.
2. The bits associated with unavailable pins must always keep their reset value.
3. The Timer A Input Capture 2 pin is not available (not bonded).
– In Flash devices:
The TAIC2HR and TAIC2LR registers are not present. Bit 5 of the TACSR register (ICF2) is forced
by hardware to 0. Consequently, the corresponding interrupt cannot be used.
4. The Timer A Output Compare 2 pin is not available (not bonded).
– The TAOC2HR and TAOC2LR Registers are write only, reading them will return undefined values.
Bit 4 of the TACSR register (OCF2) is forced by hardware to 0. Consequently, the corresponding in-
terrupt cannot be used.
Caution: The TAIC2HR and TAIC2LR registers and the ICF2 and OCF2 flags are not present in Flash de-
vices but are present in the emulator. For compatibility with the emulator, it is recommended to perform a
dummy access (read or write) to the TAIC2LR and TAOC2LR registers to clear the interrupt flags.

10.3.4 Low Power Modes
Mode Description
No effect on 16-bit Timer.
WAIT
Timer interrupts cause the device to exit from WAIT mode.
16-bit Timer registers are frozen.
In HALT mode, the counter stops counting until Halt mode is exited. Counting resumes from the previous
count when the MCU is woken up by an interrupt with “exit from HALT mode” capability or from the counter
HALT reset value when the MCU is woken up by a RESET.
If an input capture event occurs on the ICAPi pin, the input capture detection circuitry is armed. Consequent-
ly, when the MCU is woken up by an interrupt with “exit from HALT mode” capability, the ICFi bit is set, and
the counter value present when exiting from HALT mode is captured into the ICiR register.

When a transmission is taking place, a write in-

When no transmission is taking place, a write in-

Notes:
1. Directly connecting the RESET and I/O pins to VDD or VSS could damage the device if an unintentional internal reset
is generated or an unexpected change of the I/O configuration occurs (for example, due to a corrupted program counter).
To guarantee safe operation, this connection has to be done through a pull-up or pull-down resistor (typical: 4.7kΩ for
RESET, 10kΩ for I/Os). For the same reason, unused I/O pins must not be directly tied to VDD or VSS.
2. IINJ(PIN) must never be exceeded. This is implicitly insured if VIN maximum is respected. If VIN maximum cannot be
respected, the injection current must be limited externally to the IINJ(PIN) value. A positive injection is induced by VIN>VDD
while a negative injection is induced by VIN<VSS. For true open-drain pads, there is no positive injection current, and the
corresponding VIN maximum must always be respected
3. All power (VDD) and ground (VSS) lines must always be connected to the external supply.
4. Negative injection disturbs the analog performance of the device. See note in “ADC Accuracy” on page 145.
For best reliability, it is recommended to avoid negative injection of more than 1.6mA.
5. When several inputs are submitted to a current injection, the maximum ΣIINJ(PIN) is the absolute sum of the positive
and negative injected currents (instantaneous values). These results are based on characterisation with ΣIINJ(PIN) maxi-
mum current injection on four I/O port pins of the device.
6. True open drain I/O port pins do not accept positive injection.

Note:

The user must take the PLL jitter into account in the application (for example in serial communication or
sampling of high frequency signals). The PLL jitter is a periodic effect, which is integrated over several
CPU cycles. Therefore the longer the period of the application signal, the less it will be impacted by the
PLL jitter.
Figure 68 shows the PLL jitter integrated on application signals in the range 125kHz to 2MHz. At frequen-

example and leaving the I/O unconnected on the board or an external pull-up or pull-down resistor (see Figure 69). Data
based on design simulation and/or technology characteristics, not tested in production.
5. The RPU pull-up equivalent resistor is based on a resistive transistor (corresponding IPU current characteristics de-
scribed in Figure 70).
6. To generate an external interrupt, a minimum pulse width has to be applied on an I/O port pin configured as an external
interrupt source.

1. The reset network protects the device against parasitic resets.


2. The output of the external reset circuit must have an open-drain output to drive the ST7 reset pad. Otherwise the device
can be damaged when the ST7 generates an internal reset (LVD or watchdog).
3. Whatever the reset source is (internal or external), the user must ensure that the level on the RESET pin can go below
the VIL max. level specified in Section 12.10.1. Otherwise the reset will not be taken into account internally.
4. Because the reset circuit is designed to allow the internal RESET to be output in the RESET pin, the user must ensure
that the current sunk on the RESET pin (by an external pull-up for example) is less than the absolute maximum value
specified for IINJ(RESET) in Section 12.2.2 on page 117.
5. When the LVD is enabled, it is mandatory not to connect a pull-up resistor. A 10nF pull-down capacitor is recommended
to filter noise on the reset line.
6. In case a capacitive power supply is used, it is recommended to connect a1MΩ pull-down resistor to the RESET pin
to discharge any residual voltage induced by this capacitive power supply (this will add 5µA to the power consumption of
the MCU).
7. Tips when using the LVD:
– 1. Check that all recommendations related to ICCCLK and reset circuit have been applied (see notes above)
– 2. Check that the power supply is properly decoupled (100nF + 10µF close to the MCU). Refer to AN1709. If this
cannot be done, it is recommended to put a 100nF + 1MΩ pull-down on the RESET pin.
– 3. The capacitors connected on the RESET pin and also the power supply are key to avoiding any start-up margin-
ality. In most cases, steps 1 and 2 above are sufficient for a robust solution. Otherwise: replace 10nF pull-down on
the RESET pin with a 5µF to 20µF capacitor.”

Notes:
1. Any added external serial resistor will downgrade the ADC accuracy (especially for resistance greater than 10kΩ). Data
based on characterization results, not tested in production.
2.For Flash devices: injecting negative current on any of the analog input pins significantly reduces the accuracy of any
conversion being performed on any analog input. Analog pins of ST72F324 devices can be protected against negative
injection by adding a Schottky diode (pin to ground). Injecting negative current on digital input pins degrades ADC accu-
racy especially if performed on a pin close to the analog input pins. Any positive injection current within the limits specified
for IINJ(PIN) and ΣIINJ(PIN) in Section 12.9 does not affect the ADC accuracy.

Notes:
1. CPARASITIC represents the capacitance of the PCB (dependent on soldering and PCB layout quality) plus the pad ca-
pacitance (3pF). A high CPARASITIC value will downgrade conversion accuracy. To remedy this, fADC should be reduced.
2. This graph shows that depending on the input signal variation (fAIN), CAIN can be increased for stabilization time and
decreased to allow the use of a larger serial resistor (RAIN).

compared to the ST72F324 flash devices. described for ROM devices in the ST72324B da-
tasheet.
A summary of the technical improvements is given
below.
Refer to separate ST72324B datasheet for the or-
dering information and full specifications.

16.1 Reset Pin Logic levels


In ST72F324B Flash devices, the VIH/VIL levels for
the reset pin are the same as specified for ROM
devices

16.2 Wake-Up from Active Halt mode using


external interrupts
In ST72F324B Flash devices, any external inter-
rupt that capable of waking-up the MCU from Halt
mode can also wake-up the MCU from Active Halt
mode. Consequently note 1 below Table 8 on
page 36 does not apply to ‘B’ devices.

16.3 PLL Jitter


In ST72F324B Flash devices, PLL clock accuracy
is improved and the jitter is the same as specified
for ROM devices

16.4 Active Halt Power Consumption


In ST72F324B Flash devices, the power con-
sumption in Active Halt mode is specified as
230µA max. See Table 12.5.1 on page 120 for test
conditions.
