Universal serial bus full-speed device interface (USB)
As a first step application software needs to activate register macrocell clock and de-assert
macrocell specific reset signal using related control bits provided by device clock
management logic.
After that, the analog part of the device related to the USB transceiver must be switched on
using the PDWN bit in CNTR register, which requires a special handling. This bit is intended
to switch on the internal voltage references that supply the port transceiver. This circuit has
a defined startup time (t_STARTUP specified in the datasheet) during which the behavior of the
USB transceiver is not defined. It is thus necessary to wait this time, after setting the PDWN
bit in the CNTR register, before removing the reset condition on the USB part (by clearing
the FRES bit in the CNTR register). Clearing the ISTR register then removes any spurious
pending interrupt before any other macrocell operation is enabled.
At system reset, the microcontroller must initialize all required registers and the packet
buffer description table, to make the USB peripheral able to properly generate interrupts and
data transfers. All registers not specific to any endpoint must be initialized according to the
needs of application software (choice of enabled interrupts, chosen address of packet
buffers, etc.). Then the process continues as for the USB reset case (see further
paragraph).
USB reset (RESET interrupt)
When this event occurs, the USB peripheral is put in the same conditions it is left by the
system reset after the initialization described in the previous paragraph: communication is
disabled in all endpoint registers (the USB peripheral will not respond to any packet). As a
response to the USB reset event, the USB function must be enabled, having as USB
address 0, implementing only the default control endpoint (endpoint address is 0 too). This
is accomplished by setting the Enable Function (EF) bit of the USB_DADDR register and
initializing the EP0R register and its related packet buffers accordingly. During USB
enumeration process, the host assigns a unique address to this device, which must be
written in the ADD[6:0] bits of the USB_DADDR register, and configures any other
necessary endpoint.
When a RESET interrupt is received, the application software is responsible to enable again
the default endpoint of USB function 0 within 10 ms from the end of reset sequence which
triggered the interrupt.
Structure and usage of packet buffers
Each bidirectional endpoint may receive or transmit data from/to the host. The received data
is stored in a dedicated memory buffer reserved for that endpoint, while another memory
buffer contains the data to be transmitted by the endpoint. Access to this memory is
performed by the packet buffer interface block, which delivers a memory access request
and waits for its acknowledgment. Since the packet buffer memory has to be accessed by
the microcontroller also, an arbitration logic takes care of the access conflicts, using half
APB cycle for microcontroller access and the remaining half for the USB peripheral access.
In this way, both the agents can operate as if the packet memory is a dual-port SRAM,
without being aware of any conflict even when the microcontroller is performing back-to-
back accesses. The USB peripheral logic uses a dedicated clock. The frequency of this
dedicated clock is fixed by the requirements of the USB standard at 48 MHz, and this can be
different from the clock used for the interface to the APB bus. Different clock configurations
are possible where the APB clock frequency can be higher or lower than the USB peripheral
one.
