STM32G030 Tutorial

Timer PWM with DMA stops too early on STM32G431

Pinout & Configuration

Unused Pins

The unused I/O pins should be configured as analog input by software; they should also be connected to a fixed logic level 0 or 1 by an external or internal pull-up or pull-down.
Recommended course of action for Unused pin of STM32 MCU
Pin value of a GPIO pin set as high impedance
GPIO outputs are in high-impedance state

HAL

HAL_Delay

Because it’s an “at-least-N-ms” delay with 1ms granularity.
HAL_Delay works and doesn’t work
Is HAL_Delay(1) quaranteed to be close to 1ms?
HAL_Delay(1); takes 2ms

Confusion about length parameter in HAL_TIM_PWM_Start_DMA

  • On STM32F4 the length seems to be with respect to Data Width in the timers DMA setting
  • on STM32U575 it seems to be measured in bytes (regardless of the GPDMA settings)

  • Reference design
  • PA14 is shared with BOOT0 functionality. Caution is required as the debugging device can manipulate BOOT0 pin value.
  • The debug pins are in AF pull-up/pull-down after reset:
  • PA14: SWCLK in pull-down
  • PA13: SWDIO in pull-up

The SM7035P is an adjustable step-down DC-DC converter. It works by converting a DC input voltage to a lower, adjustable DC output voltage, typically between 3.3V and 18V. This conversion is achieved through a series of switching actions within the converter, which effectively “steps down” the voltage while providing a stable output.

Here’s a more detailed breakdown:

  • Input Voltage: The SM7035P accepts an input voltage ranging from 1 to 265 VAC.
  • Step-down Conversion: The converter uses a switching regulator design to reduce the input voltage to a lower, adjustable output voltage.
  • Adjustable Output: The output voltage can be set between 3.3V and 18V, allowing for flexibility in different applications.
  • Maximum Current: The device is capable of providing a maximum current of 200mA.
  • Efficiency and Power Conversion: The SM7035P is designed for high efficiency and power conversion, making it suitable for various applications.
  • RoHS Compliance: The device is RoHS-compliant, indicating it meets environmental standards.
  • SOP-8 Package: The SM7035P is housed in a SOP-8 package, a common type of surface mount integrated circuit package.
