Ⅵ. Typical and maximum current consumption


The MCU is placed under the following conditions:


• All peripherals are disabled except when explicitly mentioned


• When the peripherals are enabled fPCLK2 = fHCLK and fPCLK1 = fHCLK/2


• When fHCLK > 8 MHz, the PLL is ON and the PLL input is equal to HSI/2 (4 MHz) or HSE (8 MHz) in bypass mode.


• Prefetch in ON (reminder: this bit must be set before clock setting and bus prescaling)


• All I/O pins are in input mode with a static value at VDD or VSS (no load)


• The Flash memory access time is adjusted to the fHCLK frequency (0 wait state from 0 to 24 MHz,1 wait state from 24 to 48 MHz and 2 wait states from 48 to 72 MHz)

Ⅷ. Precautions for using STM32F303CCT6


• During the development process, we should use appropriate debugging and testing tools for program debugging and performance testing. STM32F303CCT6 has an embedded tracking macrocell (ETM), which can capture and record the working status of the system in real time, helping developers debug and optimize programs.


• When storing and processing data, we should pay attention to data backup and recovery to prevent data loss or damage.


• When setting the system clock, we must not only select and configure the external clock source, but also handle the synchronization issues between clock sources to avoid data inconsistency or communication failures. In addition, when we use it, we should set the memory access permissions as needed to avoid problems that exceed the permissions during program operation.


• When using multiple peripheral device interfaces (such as UART, SPI, I2C, etc.), we should pay attention to the initialization and configuration of the interface. The configuration parameters required by various peripherals are different. We should set the relevant parameters correctly to ensure the stability and reliability of communication.
