and AFIOs)
Low-density devices are STM32F101xx, STM32F102xx and STM32F103xx
microcontrollers where the Flash memory density ranges between 16 and 32 Kbytes.
Medium-density devices are STM32F101xx, STM32F102xx and STM32F103xx
microcontrollers where the Flash memory density ranges between 64 and 128 Kbytes.
High-density devices are STM32F101xx and STM32F103xx microcontrollers where the
Flash memory density ranges between 256 and 512 Kbytes.
XL-density devices are STM32F101xx and STM32F103xx microcontrollers where the
Flash memory density ranges between 768 Kbytes and 1 Mbyte.
Connectivity line devices are STM32F105xx and STM32F107xx microcontrollers.
This section applies to the whole STM32F10xxx family, unless otherwise specified.

GPIO functional description
Each of the general-purpose I/O ports has two 32-bit configuration registers (GPIOx_CRL,
GPIOx_CRH), two 32-bit data registers (GPIOx_IDR, GPIOx_ODR), a 32-bit set/reset
register (GPIOx_BSRR), a 16-bit reset register (GPIOx_BRR) and a 32-bit locking register
(GPIOx_LCKR).
Subject to the specific hardware characteristics of each I/O port listed in the datasheet, each
port bit of the General Purpose IO (GPIO) Ports, can be individually configured by software
in several modes:
•
Input floating
•
Input pull-up
•
Input-pull-down
•
Analog
•
Output open-drain
•
Output push-pull
•
Alternate function push-pull
•
Alternate function open-drain
Each I/O port bit is freely programmable, however the I/O port registers have to be
accessed as 32-bit words (half-word or byte accesses are not allowed). The purpose of the
GPIOx_BSRR and GPIOx_BRR registers is to allow atomic read/modify accesses to any of
the GPIO registers. This way, there is no risk that an IRQ occurs between the read and the
modify access.
