STM32L072 has USB as Additional Functions instead of an Alternative Function
Though in one of my Earlier Post It was briefly explained, It felt to have a Dedicated Post in General Thereby this Post to Better Understand the Difference and Way of Working with them.
I found this in one of the Documentations, But Can Someone Elaborate this to me?

If you look at figure "Basic structure of an I/O port bit" in the ref.man, you see that alternate functions use the digital IO path: CMOS inverter for output, schmitt-trigger for input. In constrast, the digital paths are bypassed for additional functions, sometimes also called analog functions in the documents. This is needed for IO with special electrical requirements. Examples are ADC, DAC, ... and USB DP and DN pins, see ref.man 31.4.1 Description of USB blocks.
