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 APB1 bus. Different clock
configurations are possible where the APB1 clock frequency can be higher or lower than the
USB peripheral one.
Note: Due to USB data rate and packet memory interface requirements, the APB1 clock frequency
must be greater than 8 MHz to avoid data overrun/underrun problems.
Each endpoint is associated with two packet buffers (usually one for transmission and the
other one for reception). Buffers can be placed anywhere inside the packet memory
because their location and size is specified in a buffer description table, which is also
located in the packet memory at the address indicated by the USB_BTABLE register. Each
table entry is associated to an endpoint register and it is composed of four 16-bit words so
that table start address must always be aligned to an 8-byte boundary (the lowest three bits
of USB_BTABLE register are always “000”). Buffer descriptor table entries are described in
the Section 23.5.3: Buffer descriptor table. If an endpoint is unidirectional and it is neither an
Isochronous nor a double-buffered bulk, only one packet buffer is required (the one related
to the supported transfer direction). Other table locations related to unsupported transfer
directions or unused endpoints, are available to the user. Isochronous and double-buffered
bulk endpoints have special handling of packet buffers (Refer to Section 23.4.4:
Isochronous transfers and Section 23.4.3: Double-buffered endpoints respectively). The
relationship between buffer description table entries and packet buffer areas is depicted in
Figure 220.
