Quad-SPI interface (QUADSPI) RM0390
334/1328 RM0390 Rev 4
By default, the QUADSPI never stops its prefetch operation, keeping the previous read
operation active with nCS maintained low, even if no access to the Flash memory occurs for
a long time. Since Flash memories tend to consume more when nCS is held low, the
application might want to activate the timeout counter (TCEN = 1, bit 3 of QUADSPI_CR) so
that nCS is released after a period of TIMEOUT[15:0] (QUADSPI_LPTR) cycles have
elapsed without any access since when the FIFO becomes full with prefetch data.
BUSY goes high as soon as the first memory-mapped access occurs. Because of the
prefetch operations, BUSY does not fall until there is a timeout, there is an abort, or the
peripheral is disabled.
12.3.8 QUADSPI Flash memory configuration
The device configuration register (QUADSPI_DCR) can be used to specify the
characteristics of the external SPI Flash memory.
The FSIZE[4:0] field defines the size of external memory using the following formula:
Number of bytes in Flash memory = 2
[FSIZE+1]
FSIZE+1 is effectively the number of address bits required to address the Flash memory.
The Flash memory capacity can be up to 4GB (addressed using 32 bits) in indirect mode,
but the addressable space in memory-mapped mode is limited to 256MB.
If DFM = 1, FSIZE indicates the total capacity of the two Flash memories together.
When the QUADSPI executes two commands, one immediately after the other, it raises the
chip select signal (nCS) high between the two commands for only one CLK cycle by default.
If the Flash memory requires more time between commands, the chip select high time
(CSHT) field can be used to specify the minimum number of CLK cycles (up to 8) that nCS
must remain high.
The clock mode (CKMODE) bit indicates the CLK signal logic level in between commands
(when nCS = 1).
12.3.9 QUADSPI delayed data sampling
By default, the QUADSPI samples the data driven by the Flash memory one half of a CLK
cycle after the Flash memory drives the signal.
In case of external signal delays, it may be beneficial to sample the data later. Using the
SSHIFT bit (bit 4 of QUADSPI_CR), the sampling of the data can be shifted by half of a CLK
cycle.
Clock shifting is not supported in DDR mode: the SSHIFT bit must be clear when DDRM bit
is set.
12.3.10 QUADSPI configuration
The QUADSPI configuration is done in two phases:
• QUADSPI IP configuration
• QUADSPI Flash memory configuration
Once configured and enabled, the QUADSPI can be used in one of its three operating
modes: indirect mode, status-polling mode, or memory-mapped mode.
