30. Device electronic signature
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.
The electronic signature is stored in the System memory area in the Flash memory module, and can be read using the JTAG/SWD or the CPU. It contains factory-programmed identification data that allow the user firmware or other external devices to automatically match its interface to the characteristics of the STM32F10xxx microcontroller.
30.1 Memory size registers
30.1.1 Flash size register
Base address: 0x1FFF F7E0
Read only = 0xXXXX where X is factory-programmed
| 15 | 14 | 13 | 12 | 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| F_SIZE | |||||||||||||||
| r | r | r | r | r | r | r | r | r | r | r | r | r | r | r | r |
Bits 15:0 F_SIZE : Flash memory size
This field value indicates the Flash memory size of the device in Kbytes.
Example: 0x0080 = 128 Kbytes.
30.2 Unique device ID register (96 bits)
The unique device identifier is ideally suited:
- • for use as serial numbers (for example USB string serial numbers or other end applications)
- • for use as security keys in order to increase the security of code in Flash memory while using and combining this unique ID with software cryptographic primitives and protocols before programming the internal Flash memory
- • to activate secure boot processes, etc.
The 96-bit unique device identifier provides a reference number which is unique for any device and in any context. These bits can never be altered by the user.
The 96-bit unique device identifier can also be read in single bytes/half-words/words in different ways and then be concatenated using a custom algorithm.
