STM32L011x3/4 Functional overview
32
Five BOR thresholds are available through option bytes, starting from 1.8 V to 3 V. To
reduce the power consumption in Stop mode, it is possible to automatically switch off the
internal reference voltage (V
REFINT
) in Stop mode. The device remains in reset mode when
V
DD
is below a specified threshold, V
POR/PDR
or V
BOR
, without the need for any external
reset circuit.
Note: The start-up time at power-on is typically 3.3 ms when BOR is active at power-up, the start-
up time at power-on can be decreased down to 1 ms typically for devices with BOR inactive
at power-up.
The devices feature an embedded programmable voltage detector (PVD) that monitors the
V
DD/VDDA
power supply and compares it to the V
PVD
threshold. This PVD offers 7 different
levels between 1.85 V and 3.05 V, chosen by software, with a step around 200 mV. An
interrupt can be generated when V
DD/VDDA
drops below the V
PVD
threshold and/or when
V
DD/VDDA
is higher than the V
PVD
threshold. The interrupt service routine can then generate
a warning message and/or put the MCU into a safe state. The PVD is enabled by software.
3.4.3 Voltage regulator
The regulator has three operation modes: main (MR), low power (LPR) and power down.
• MR is used in Run mode (nominal regulation)
• LPR is used in the Low-power run, Low-power sleep and Stop modes
• Power down is used in Standby mode. The regulator output is high impedance, the
kernel circuitry is powered down, inducing zero consumption but the contents of the
registers and RAM are lost except for the standby circuitry (wakeup logic, IWDG, RTC,
LSI, LSE crystal 32 KHz oscillator, RCC_CSR).
3.4.4 Boot modes
At startup, BOOT0 pin and nBOOT0, nBOOT1 and nBOOT_SEL option bits are used to
select one of three boot options:
• Boot from Flash memory
• Boot from System memory
• Boot from embedded RAM
The bootloader is located in System memory. It is used to reprogram the Flash memory by
using SPI1 (PA4, PA7, PA13 and PA14 on TSSOP14 package or PA4, PA5, PA6 and PA7
on other packages) or USART2 (PA2, PA3 and PA9, PA10).
If the bootloader is activated (the bootloader is active on all empty devices due to the empty
check mechanism), then the above mentioned bits are configured depending on whether
SPI1 or USART2 functionality is used.
See STM32™ microcontroller system memory boot mode AN2606 for details.
