Alternate Functions (GPIO)

  • The output buffer can be enabled (open drain or push-pull).
  • The output buffer is controlled by connected peripheral.
  • The Schmitt trigger input is active.
  • The pull-up and -down resistors are active, according to PUPDR.
  • Input data is sampled every AHB clock.
  • Input data register holds I/O state.




Depending on the alternate function you have to configure the pins as:


Hardware Abstraction Layer
Register Types
InES GPIO HAL Interface


GPIO port mode register




Pin x10Alternate function mode

Alternate function register (low / high)







Pin x0000AF0: RTC, MCO, Tamper, SWJ, Trace
0001AF1: Timer 1, Timer 2
0010AF2: Timer 3..5
0011AF3: Timer 8..11
0100AF4: I²C 1..3
0101AF5: SPI 1..6
0110AF6: SPI 2/3, SAI 1
0111AF7: SPI 3, USART 1..3
1000AF8: USART 6, UART 4/5/7/8
1001AF9: CAN 1/2, Timer 12..14, LCD

01Pull-up
10Pull-down
11Reserved

Port output type register




Pin x0Output type: push-pull (reset state)
1Output type: open-drain

Port output speed register




Pin x00Speed: 2 MHz (reset state)
01Speed: 10 MHz
10Speed: 50 MHz
11Speed: 100 MHz
