stm32l412kbu3 USB

[SLevi.1]

I want to use the 32-pin package of STM32L412 (STM32L412KBU3) as a USB device, using I2C to connect to a few sensors.

• If I use HSE clock on pin PA0, any suggestion as to a suitable crystal & caps?
• Could I use LSE instead, would this be accurate enough for reliable USB?
• Is the internal HSI clock accurate enough for USB? Would it be corrected?
• How to get power from USB-C connector to Vdd - I assume an LDO convertor to get from USB 5v down to 3.3v

See here for some recommendations and how to choose a crystal:

LSE doesn't help with USB support.

> Is the internal HSI clock accurate enough for USB? Would it be corrected?

The STM32L412 supports crystal-less USB, which means it can use the HSI when being a USB device. No HSE needed.

Yes, use a 3.3V LDO.

Hi @SLevi.1 

You can use CRS as hardware-based trimming of HSI48 to ensure that the USB clock frequency stays within the tight tolerance required by the USB specification (±0.25%), without needing an external crystal.
