10.2.3 Wakeup event management
The STM32F4xx are able to handle external or internal events in order to wake up the core
(WFE). The wakeup event can be generated either by:
• enabling an interrupt in the peripheral control register but not in the NVIC, and enabling
the SEVONPEND bit in the Cortex
®
-M4 with FPU System Control register. When the
MCU resumes from WFE, the peripheral interrupt pending bit and the peripheral NVIC
IRQ channel pending bit (in the NVIC interrupt clear pending register) have to be
cleared.
• or configuring an external or internal EXTI line in event mode. When the CPU resumes
from WFE, it is not necessary to clear the peripheral interrupt pending bit or the NVIC
IRQ channel pending bit as the pending bit corresponding to the event line is not set.
To use an external line as a wakeup event, refer to Section 10.2.4: Functional description.
