6.3.1 Behavior of clocks in low-power modes
APB peripheral and DMA clocks can be disabled by software.
Sleep and Low-power sleep modes
The CPU clock is stopped in Sleep and Low-power sleep mode. The memory interface
clocks (Flash memory and RAM interfaces) and all peripherals clocks can be stopped by
software during Sleep. The memory interface clock is stopped and the RAM is in power-
down when in Low-power sleep mode. The AHB to APB bridge clocks are disabled by
hardware during Sleep/Low-power sleep mode when all the clocks of the peripherals
connected to them are disabled.
Stop and Standby modes
The system clock and all high speed clocks are stopped in Stop and Standby modes:
• PLL is disabled
• Internal RC 16 MHz (HSI16) oscillator is disabled
• External 1-24 MHz (HSE) oscillator is disabled
• Internal 65 kHz - 4.2 MHz (MSI) oscillator is disabled
When exiting this mode by an interrupt (Stop mode), the internal MSI or HSI16 can be
selected as system clock. For both oscillators, their respective configuration (range and
trimming) value is kept on Stop mode exit.
When exiting this mode by a reset (Standby mode), the internal MSI oscillator is selected as
system clock. The range and the trimming value are reset to the default 2.1 MHz.
If a Flash program operation or an access to APB domain is ongoing, the Stop/Standby
mode entry is delayed until the Flash memory or the APB access has completed.
