STM32WB clock understanding

Hello everyone,

New to the world of STM32 and moving from Arduino programming to more in-deep STM32 one, I faced an issue that I solved in a way I can't understand.

I started working on a basic Blink program using STM32WB5MM-DK and the in-board RGB PWM led. I understood a little bit late that i had to configure the interrupts and clocks but well, that's how we learn.

But I still don't understand - at least - one thing. In the Clock Configuration (.ioc file) I can't get a working program if the system clock is set less to 48MHz and after some iterations, I discovered that it was in fact the APB2 timer clock that had to be at least 48MHz. In the datasheet(s) I can't find any indication on this critical value.

Is there any logic behind this value ? Or is it a side effect of something that I have not already understood ?

My program is pretty similar to the led.c code in BSP example

 

Thanks !

Hello @HardWins and welcome to the ST Community 😊.

According to the Table 24 of the DS11929, the internal APB2 clock frequency can take any value between 0 and 64MHz:

PS: you can take a look at the clock configuration of the examples that are using the same board. you will find that the APB2 can take different values (not more than 48Mhz).

Best Regards.
