Description STM32F103x8, STM32F103xB
14/84
The general-purpose timers can work together with the advanced-control timer via the Timer
Link feature for synchronization or event chaining. Their counter can be frozen in debug
mode. Any of the general-purpose timers can be used to generate PWM outputs. They all
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.
Advanced-control timer (TIM1)
The advanced-control timer (TIM1) can be seen as a three-phase PWM multiplexed on 6
channels. It has complementary PWM outputs with programmable inserted dead-times. It
can also be seen as a complete general-purpose timer. The 4 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 general-purpose 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%).
In debug mode, the advanced-control timer counter can be frozen and the PWM outputs
disabled to turn off any power switch driven by these outputs.
Many features are shared with those of the general-purpose TIM timers which have the
same architecture. The advanced-control timer can therefore work together with the TIM
timers via the Timer Link feature for synchronization or event chaining.
I²C bus
Up to two I²C bus interfaces can operate in multimaster and slave modes. They can support
standard and fast modes.
They support dual slave addressing (7-bit only) and both 7/10-bit addressing in master
mode. A hardware CRC generation/verification is embedded.
They can be served by DMA and they support SM Bus 2.0/PM Bus.
Universal synchronous/asynchronous receiver transmitter (USART)
One of the USART interfaces is able to communicate at speeds of up to 4.5 Mbit/s. The
other available interfaces communicate at up to 2.25 Mbit/s. They provide hardware
management of the CTS and RTS signals, IrDA SIR ENDEC support, are ISO 7816
compliant and have LIN Master/Slave capability.
All USART interfaces can be served by the DMA controller.
Serial peripheral interface (SPI)
Up to two SPIs are able to communicate up to 18 Mbits/s in slave and master modes in full-
duplex and simplex communication modes. The 3-bit prescaler gives 8 master mode
frequencies and the frame is configurable to 8 bits or 16 bits. The hardware CRC
generation/verification supports basic SD Card/MMC modes.
Both SPIs can be served by the DMA controller.
