| |
| − | | |
| − | <ul>
| |
| − | <li> STM32F427/437 – serial audio interface, more performance and lower static power consumption<br />
| |
| − | <li> STM32F410 – New milestone in outstanding power efficiency (89 µA/MHz and 6 µA in Stop mode), true random number generator, low-power timer, and DAC.<br />
| |
| − | <li> STM32F413/F423 – Extends STM32F412 features with higher RAM and Flash memory density and an enhanced peripheral set including 10 UARTs, 3 CANs, SAI interface, a low-power timer, 2 DACs, 2 DFSDM with up to 6 filters. The STM32F423 includes AES encryption.<br />

| − | * Bit banding . . . what is this?
| |
| − | An excerpt from STM32F413-423 datasheet, page 63:

| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | Example
| |
| − | The following example shows how to map bit 2 of the byte located at SRAM1 address
| |
| − | 0x20000300 to the alias region:
| |
| − | 0x22006008 = 0x22000000 + (0x300*32) + (2*4)
| |
| − | Writing to address 0x22006008 has the same effect as a read-modify-write operation on bit
| |
| − | 2 of the byte at SRAM1 address 0x20000300.
| |
| − | Reading address 0x22006008 returns the value (0x01 or 0x00) of bit 2 of the byte at SRAM1
| |
| − | address 0x20000300 (0x01: bit set; 0x00: bit reset).
| |

| − | Had heard of sixteen bit microcontrollers, but interesting to find that STMicro manufactures one. There is only one such bit-width part on STMicro's site, and it is not recommended for new designs. Link here:
