11. Analog-to-digital converter (ADC)

ADC2 and ADC3 are not available in STM32F401xB/C and STM32F401xD/E.

11.1 ADC introduction

The 12-bit ADC is a successive approximation analog-to-digital converter. It has up to 19 multiplexed channels allowing it to measure signals from 16 external sources, two internal sources, and the \( V_{BAT} \) channel. The A/D conversion of the channels can be performed in single, continuous, scan or discontinuous mode. The result of the ADC is stored into a left- or right-aligned 16-bit data register.

The analog watchdog feature allows the application to detect if the input voltage goes beyond the user-defined, higher or lower thresholds.

11.2 ADC main features

Figure 31 shows the block diagram of the ADC.

Note: \( V_{REF-} \) , if available (depending on package), must be tied to \( V_{SSA} \) .

11.3 ADC functional description

Figure 31 shows a single ADC block diagram and Table 40 gives the ADC pin description.

Figure 31. Single ADC block diagram

Single ADC block diagram showing internal components like flags, watchdog, registers, and input sources.

The diagram illustrates the internal architecture of a single ADC. At the core is the Analog to digital converter , which receives input from Injected channels (up to 4) and Regular channels (up to 16). These channels are selected via an Analog mux from various sources: GPIO ports (ADCx_IN0 to ADCx_IN15), Temp. sensor , VREFINT , and VBAT . The converter is controlled by ADCCLK from an ADC prescaler . Conversion results are stored in Injected data registers (4 x 16 bits) and a Regular data register (16 bits), which are connected to an Address/data bus . A DMA request is generated from the regular data register. Status Flags (OVR, EOC, JEOC, AWD) and Interrupt enable bits (OVRIE, EOCIE, JEOCIE, AWDIE) are used to generate an ADC Interrupt to NVIC . An Analog watchdog block contains a Compare result , Higher threshold (12 bits) , and Lower threshold (12 bits) , which monitors the conversion results. External triggers for the Injected group and Regular group are selected via JEXTSEL[3:0] bits and EXTSEL[3:0] bits respectively, with enable bits JEXTEN [1:0] and EXTEN [1:0] . These triggers can come from various TIM channels (e.g., TIM1_CH4, TIM2_TRGO) or external pins (EXTI_15, EXTI_11). Power supply pins include VREF+ , VREF- , VDDA , and VSSA .

11.3.1 ADC on-off control

The ADC is powered on by setting the ADON bit in the ADC_CR2 register. When the ADON bit is set for the first time, it wakes up the ADC from the Power-down mode.

Conversion starts when either the SWSTART or the JSWSTART bit is set.

You can stop conversion and put the ADC in power down mode by clearing the ADON bit. In this mode the ADC consumes almost no power (only a few µA).

11.3.2 ADC clock

The ADC features two clock schemes:

11.3.3 Channel selection

There are 16 multiplexed channels. It is possible to organize the conversions in two groups: regular and injected. A group consists of a sequence of conversions that can be done on any channel and in any order. For instance, it is possible to implement the conversion sequence in the following order: ADC_IN3, ADC_IN8, ADC_IN2, ADC_IN2, ADC_IN0, ADC_IN2, ADC_IN2, ADC_IN15.

The total number of conversions in the injected group must be written in the L[1:0] bits in the ADC_JSQR register.

If the ADC_SQRx or ADC_JSQR registers are modified during a conversion, the current conversion is reset and a new start pulse is sent to the ADC to convert the newly chosen group.

Temperature sensor, V REFINT and V BAT internal channels

The internal reference voltage V REFINT is connected to ADC1_IN17.

The V BAT channel is connected to ADC1_IN18 and ADC1_IN16 channels. It can also be converted as an injected or regular channel.

Note: The temperature sensor, V REFINT and the V BAT channel are available only on the master ADC1 peripheral.

11.3.4 Single conversion mode

In Single conversion mode the ADC does one conversion. This mode is started with the CONT bit at 0 by either:

Once the conversion of the selected channel is complete:

Then the ADC stops.

11.3.5 Continuous conversion mode

In continuous conversion mode, the ADC starts a new conversion as soon as it finishes one. This mode is started with the CONT bit at 1 either by external trigger or by setting the SWSTART bit in the ADC_CR2 register (for regular channels only).

After each conversion:

Note: Injected channels cannot be converted continuously. The only exception is when an injected channel is configured to be converted automatically after regular channels in continuous mode (using JAUTO bit), refer to Auto-injection section).

11.3.6 Timing diagram

As shown in Figure 32 , the ADC needs a stabilization time of \( t_{STAB} \) before it starts converting accurately. After the start of the ADC conversion and after 15 clock cycles, the EOC flag is set and the 16-bit ADC data register contains the result of the conversion.

11.3.7 Analog watchdog

The AWD analog watchdog status bit is set if the analog voltage converted by the ADC is below a lower threshold or above a higher threshold. These thresholds are programmed in the 12 least significant bits of the ADC_HTR and ADC_LTR 16-bit registers. An interrupt can be enabled by using the AWDIE bit in the ADC_CR1 register.

The threshold value is independent of the alignment selected by the ALIGN bit in the ADC_CR2 register. The analog voltage is compared to the lower and higher thresholds before alignment.

Table 41 shows how the ADC_CR1 register should be configured to enable the analog watchdog on one or more channels.

11.3.8 Scan mode

This mode is used to scan a group of analog channels.

The Scan mode is selected by setting the SCAN bit in the ADC_CR1 register. Once this bit has been set, the ADC scans all the channels selected in the ADC_SQRx registers (for regular channels) or in the ADC_JSQR register (for injected channels). A single conversion is performed for each channel of the group. After each end of conversion, the next channel in the group is converted automatically. If the CONT bit is set, regular channel conversion does not stop at the last selected channel in the group but continues again from the first selected channel.

If the DMA bit is set, the direct memory access (DMA) controller is used to transfer the data converted from the regular group of channels (stored in the ADC_DR register) to SRAM after each regular channel conversion.

The EOC bit is set in the ADC_SR register:

The data converted from an injected channel are always stored into the ADC_JDRx registers.

11.3.9 Injected channel management

Triggered injection

To use triggered injection, the JAUTO bit must be cleared in the ADC_CR1 register.

  1. 1. Start the conversion of a group of regular channels either by external trigger or by setting the SWSTART bit in the ADC_CR2 register.
  2. 2. If an external injected trigger occurs or if the JSWSTART bit is set during the conversion of a regular group of channels, the current conversion is reset and the injected channel sequence switches to Scan-once mode.
  3. 3. Then, the regular conversion of the regular group of channels is resumed from the last interrupted regular conversion.
    If a regular event occurs during an injected conversion, the injected conversion is not

interrupted but the regular sequence is executed at the end of the injected sequence. Figure 34 shows the corresponding timing diagram.

Note: When using triggered injection, one must ensure that the interval between trigger events is longer than the injection sequence. For instance, if the sequence length is 30 ADC clock cycles (that is two conversions with a sampling time of 3 clock periods), the minimum interval between triggers must be 31 ADC clock cycles.

Auto-injection

If the JAUTO bit is set, then the channels in the injected group are automatically converted after the regular group of channels. This can be used to convert a sequence of up to 20 conversions programmed in the ADC_SQRx and ADC_JSQR registers.

In this mode, external trigger on injected channels must be disabled.

If the CONT bit is also set in addition to the JAUTO bit, regular channels followed by injected channels are continuously converted.

Note: It is not possible to use both the auto-injected and discontinuous modes simultaneously.

Figure 34. Injected conversion latency

Timing diagram for injected conversion latency. The diagram shows four waveforms over time: ADCLK (ADC clock), Injection event, Reset ADC, and SOC (Start of Conversion). ADCLK is a periodic square wave. The Injection event is a pulse that triggers the conversion. The Reset ADC is a pulse that resets the ADC. The SOC is a pulse that indicates the start of the conversion. The time interval between the rising edge of the Injection event and the rising edge of the SOC is labeled 'max latency (1)'. Vertical dashed lines mark the rising edges of ADCLK. The diagram is labeled 'ai16049' in the bottom right corner.

1. The maximum latency value can be found in the electrical characteristics of the STM32F401xB/C and STM32F401xD/E datasheets.

11.3.10 Discontinuous mode

Regular group

This mode is enabled by setting the DISCEN bit in the ADC_CR1 register. It can be used to convert a short sequence of n conversions ( \( n \leq 8 \) ) that is part of the sequence of conversions selected in the ADC_SQRx registers. The value of n is specified by writing to the DISCNUM[2:0] bits in the ADC_CR1 register.

When an external trigger occurs, it starts the next n conversions selected in the ADC_SQRx registers until all the conversions in the sequence are done. The total sequence length is defined by the L[3:0] bits in the ADC_SQR1 register.

Example:

Note: When a regular group is converted in discontinuous mode, no rollover occurs.

When all subgroups are converted, the next trigger starts the conversion of the first subgroup. In the example above, the 4th trigger reconverts the channels 0, 1 and 2 in the 1st subgroup.

Injected group

This mode is enabled by setting the JDISCEN bit in the ADC_CR1 register. It can be used to convert the sequence selected in the ADC_JSQR register, channel by channel, after an external trigger event.

When an external trigger occurs, it starts the next channel conversions selected in the ADC_JSQR registers until all the conversions in the sequence are done. The total sequence length is defined by the JL[1:0] bits in the ADC_JSQR register.

Example:

Note: When all injected channels are converted, the next trigger starts the conversion of the first injected channel. In the example above, the 4th trigger reconverts the 1st injected channel 1.

It is not possible to use both the auto-injected and discontinuous modes simultaneously.

Discontinuous mode must not be set for regular and injected groups at the same time.

Discontinuous mode must be enabled only for the conversion of one group.

11.4 Data alignment

The ALIGN bit in the ADC_CR2 register selects the alignment of the data stored after conversion. Data can be right- or left-aligned as shown in Figure 35 and Figure 36 .

The converted data value from the injected group of channels is decreased by the user-defined offset written in the ADC_JOFRx registers so the result can be a negative value. The SEXT bit represents the extended sign value.

For channels in a regular group, no offset is subtracted so only twelve bits are significant.

11.5 Channel-wise programmable sampling time

The ADC samples the input voltage for a number of ADCCLK cycles that can be modified using the SMP[2:0] bits in the ADC_SMPR1 and ADC_SMPR2 registers. Each channel can be sampled with a different sampling time.

The total conversion time is calculated as follows:

\[ T_{\text{conv}} = \text{Sampling time} + 12 \text{ cycles} \]

Example:

With ADCCLK = 30 MHz and sampling time = 3 cycles:

\[ T_{\text{conv}} = 3 + 12 = 15 \text{ cycles} = 0.5 \mu\text{s} \text{ with APB2 at } 60 \text{ MHz} \]

11.6 Conversion on external trigger and trigger polarity

Conversion can be triggered by an external event (e.g. timer capture, EXTI line). If the EXTEN[1:0] control bits (for a regular conversion) or JEXTEN[1:0] bits (for an injected conversion) are different from “0b00”, then external events are able to trigger a conversion with the selected polarity. Table 42 provides the correspondence between the EXTEN[1:0] and JEXTEN[1:0] values and the trigger polarity.

Note:

The polarity of the external trigger can be changed on the fly.

The EXTSEL[3:0] and JEXTSEL[3:0] control bits are used to select which out of 16 possible events can trigger conversion for the regular and injected groups.

Table 43 gives the possible external trigger for regular conversion.

Software source trigger events can be generated by setting SWSTART (for regular conversion) or JSWSTART (for injected conversion) in ADC_CR2.

A regular group conversion can be interrupted by an injected trigger.

Note: The trigger selection can be changed on the fly. However, when the selection changes, there is a time frame of 1 APB clock cycle during which the trigger detection is disabled. This is to avoid spurious detection during transitions.

11.7 Fast conversion mode

It is possible to perform faster conversion by reducing the ADC resolution. The RES bits are used to select the number of bits available in the data register. The minimum conversion time for each resolution is then as follows:

11.8 Data management

11.8.1 Using the DMA

Since converted regular channel values are stored into a unique data register, it is useful to use DMA for conversion of more than one regular channel. This avoids the loss of the data already stored in the ADC_DR register.

When the DMA mode is enabled (DMA bit set to 1 in the ADC_CR2 register), after each conversion of a regular channel, a DMA request is generated. This allows the transfer of the converted data from the ADC_DR register to the destination location selected by the software.

Despite this, if data are lost (overrun), the OVR bit in the ADC_SR register is set and an interrupt is generated (if the OVRIE enable bit is set). DMA transfers are then disabled and DMA requests are no longer accepted. In this case, if a DMA request is made, the regular conversion in progress is aborted and further regular triggers are ignored. It is then necessary to clear the OVR flag and the DMAEN bit in the used DMA stream, and to re-initialize both the DMA and the ADC to have the wanted converted channel data transferred to the right memory location. Only then can the conversion be resumed and the data transfer, enabled again. Injected channel conversions are not impacted by overrun errors.

When OVR = 1 in DMA mode, the DMA requests are blocked after the last valid data have been transferred, which means that all the data transferred to the RAM can be considered as valid.

At the end of the last DMA transfer (number of transfers configured in the DMA controller's DMA_SxNDTR register):

To recover the ADC from OVR state when the DMA is used, follow the steps below:

  1. 1. Reinitialize the DMA (adjust destination address and NDTR counter)
  2. 2. Clear the ADC OVR bit in ADC_SR register
  3. 3. Trigger the ADC to start the conversion.

11.8.2 Managing a sequence of conversions without using the DMA

If the conversions are slow enough, the conversion sequence can be handled by the software. In this case the EOCS bit must be set in the ADC_CR2 register for the EOC status bit to be set at the end of each conversion, and not only at the end of the sequence. When EOCS = 1, overrun detection is automatically enabled. Thus, each time a conversion is complete, EOC is set and the ADC_DR register can be read. The overrun management is the same as when the DMA is used.

To recover the ADC from OVR state when the EOCS is set, follow the steps below:

  1. 1. Clear the ADC OVR bit in ADC_SR register
  2. 2. Trigger the ADC to start the conversion.

11.8.3 Conversions without DMA and without overrun detection

It may be useful to let the ADC convert one or more channels without reading the data each time (if there is an analog watchdog for instance). For that, the DMA must be disabled (DMA = 0) and the EOC bit must be set at the end of a sequence only (EOCS = 0). In this configuration, overrun detection is disabled.

11.9 Temperature sensor

The temperature sensor can be used to measure the junction temperature ( \( T_J \) ) of the device.

Figure 38 shows the block diagram of the temperature sensor.

When not in use, the sensor can be put in power down mode.

Note: The TSVREFE bit must be set to enable the conversion of both internal channels: the ADC1_IN16 or ADC1_IN18 (temperature sensor) and the ADC1_IN17 (VREFINT).

1. V SENSE is input to ADC1_IN18

Reading the temperature

To use the sensor:

  1. 3. Select ADC1_IN16 or ADC1_IN18 input channel.
  2. 4. Select a sampling time greater than the minimum sampling time specified in the datasheet.
  3. 5. Set the TSVREFE bit in the ADC_CCR register to wake up the temperature sensor from power down mode
  4. 6. Start the ADC conversion by setting the SWSTART bit (or by external trigger)
  5. 7. Read the resulting \( V_{\text{SENSE}} \) data in the ADC data register
  6. 8. Calculate the temperature using the following formula:

\[ \text{Temperature (in } ^\circ\text{C)} = \{(V_{\text{SENSE}} - V_{25}) / \text{Avg\_Slope}\} + 25 \]

Where:

Refer to the datasheet's electrical characteristics section for the actual values of \( V_{25} \) and \( \text{Avg\_Slope} \) .

Note: The sensor has a startup time after waking from power down mode before it can output \( V_{\text{SENSE}} \) at the correct level. The ADC also has a startup time after power-on, so to minimize the delay, the ADON and TSVREFE bits should be set at the same time.

The temperature sensor output voltage changes linearly with temperature. The offset of this linear function depends on each chip due to process variation (up to \( 45^\circ\text{C} \) from one chip to another).

The internal temperature sensor is more suited for applications that detect temperature variations instead of absolute temperatures. If accurate temperature reading is required, an external temperature sensor should be used.

11.10 Battery charge monitoring

The VBATE bit in the ADC_CCR register is used to switch to the battery voltage. As the \( V_{\text{BAT}} \) voltage could be higher than \( V_{\text{DDA}} \) , to ensure the correct operation of the ADC, the \( V_{\text{BAT}} \) pin is internally connected to a bridge divider.

When the VBATE is set, the bridge is automatically enabled to connect:

Note: The VBAT and temperature sensor are connected to the same ADC internal channel (ADC1_IN18). Only one conversion, either temperature sensor or VBAT, must be selected at a time. When both conversion are enabled simultaneously, only the VBAT conversion is performed.

11.11 ADC interrupts

An interrupt can be produced on the end of conversion for regular and injected groups, when the analog watchdog status bit is set and when the overrun status bit is set. Separate interrupt enable bits are available for flexibility.

Two other flags are present in the ADC_SR register, but there is no interrupt associated with them:
