STM32W108C8
Bit 0 CPU_CLK_SEL: When set to ‘0’, 12-MHz CPU clock is selected. When set to ‘1’, 24-MHz CPU
clock is selected. Note that the clock selection also determines if RAM controller is running at
the same speed as the HCLK (CPU_CLK_SEL = ‘1’) or double speed of HCLK (CPU_CLK_SEL
= ‘0’).
6.4 System timers
6.4.1 Watchdog timer
The STM32W108C8 integrates a watchdog timer which can be enabled to provide
protection against software crashes and ARM® Cortex-M3 CPU lockup. By default, it is
disabled at power up of the always-on power domain. The watchdog timer uses the
calibrated 1 kHz clock (CLK1K) as its reference and provides a nominal 2.048 s timeout. A
low water mark interrupt occurs at 1.792 s and triggers an NMI to the ARM® Cortex-M3
NVIC as an early warning. When enabled, periodically reset the watchdog timer by writing to
the WDOG_RESTART register before it expires.
The watchdog timer can be paused when the debugger halts the ARM® Cortex-M3. To
enable this functionality, set the bit DBG_PAUSE in the SLEEP_CONFIG register.
If the low-frequency internal RC oscillator (OSCRC) is turned off during deep sleep, CLK1K
stops. As a consequence the watchdog timer stops counting and is effectively paused
during deep sleep.
The watchdog enable/disable bits are protected from accidental change by requiring a two
step process. To enable the watchdog timer the application must first write the enable code
0xEABE to the WDOG_CTRL register and then set the WDOG_EN register bit. To disable
the timer the application must write the disable code 0xDEAD to the WDOG_CTRL register
and then set the WDOG_DIS register bit.
6.4.2 Sleep timer
The STM32W108C8 integrates a 32-bit timer dedicated to system timing and waking from
sleep at specific times. The sleep timer can use either the calibrated 1 kHz
reference(CLK1K), or the 32 kHz crystal clock (CLK32K). The default clock source is the
internal 1 kHz clock. The sleep timer clock source is chosen with the SLEEPTMR_CLKSEL
register.
The sleep timer has a prescaler, a divider of the form 2^N, where N can be programmed
from 1 to 2^15. This divider allows for very long periods of sleep to be timed. The timer
provides two compare outputs and wrap detection, all of which can be used to generate an
interrupt or a wake up event.
The sleep timer is paused when the debugger halts the ARM® Cortex-M3. No additional
register bit must be set.
To save current during deep sleep, the low-frequency internal RC oscillator (OSCRC) can
be turned off. If OSCRC is turned off during deep sleep and a low-frequency 32.768 kHz
crystal oscillator is not being used, then the sleep timer will not operate during deep sleep
and sleep timer wake events cannot be used to wakeup the STM32W108C8.
