14. Analog-to-digital converter (ADC)

14.1 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 and 3 internal sources. A/D conversion of the various channels can be performed in single, continuous, scan or discontinuous mode. The result of the ADC is stored in a left-aligned or right-aligned 16-bit data register.

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

An efficient low-power mode is implemented to allow very low consumption at low frequency.

A built-in hardware oversampler allows analog performances to be improved while off-loading the related computational burden from the CPU.

14.3 ADC functional description

Figure 27 shows the ADC block diagram and Table 55 gives the ADC pin description.

Figure 27. ADC block diagram

ADC block diagram showing internal components like SAR ADC, oversampler, and interfaces to CPU and DMA.

The block diagram illustrates the internal architecture of the ADC. At the core is the SAR ADC, which receives analog input from 16 external channels (ADC_IN [18:15, 11:0]) through an input selection and scan control block. This block also manages channel selection (CH_SEL[18:0]), conversion mode (CONT single/cont.), and sampling time (SMP[2:0]). The ADC is triggered by various sources including software (ADSTART), hardware (HW), and timers (TIM1_TRGO2, TIM1_CC4, TIM3_TRGO, TIM15_TRGO, TIM6_TRGO). The SAR ADC produces converted data (DATA[15:0]) which is then processed by an oversampler. The oversampler has various configuration registers (OVRMODE, ALIGN, RES[1:0], JOFFSETx[11:0], JOFFSETx_CH[11:0]) and output signals (TOVS, OVSS[3:0], OVSR[3:0], OVSE). The ADC also features an analog watchdog (AWD) with a comparator that outputs to an external watchdog (ADC_AWDx_OUT). The ADC is connected to a CPU via an AHB to APB bridge, generating interrupts (AREADY, EOSMP, EOSEQ, EOC, OVR, AWD) and DMA requests. Power supply and reference pins (VDD/VDDA, VREF+) are also shown.

14.3.2 ADC voltage regulator (ADVREGEN)

The ADC has a specific internal voltage regulator which must be enabled and stable before using the ADC.

The ADC internal voltage regulator can be enabled by setting ADVREGEN bit to 1 in the ADC_CR register. The software must wait for the ADC voltage regulator startup time ( \( t_{ADCVREG\_SETUP} \) ) before launching a calibration or enabling the ADC. This delay must be managed by software (for details on \( t_{ADCVREG\_SETUP} \) , refer to the device datasheet).

After ADC operations are complete, the ADC is disabled (ADEN = 0). It is then possible to save additional power by disabling the ADC voltage regulator (refer to Section : ADC voltage regulator disable sequence ).

Note: When the internal voltage regulator is disabled, the internal analog calibration is kept.

Analog reference from the power control unit

The internal ADC voltage regulator internally uses an analog reference delivered by the power control unit through a buffer. This buffer is always enabled when the main voltage regulator of the power control unit operates in normal Run mode (refer to Reset and clock control and power control sections).

If the main voltage regulator enters low-power mode (such as Low-power run mode), this buffer is disabled and the ADC cannot be used.

ADC Voltage regulator enable sequence

To enable the ADC voltage regulator, set ADVREGEN bit to 1 in ADC_CR register.

ADC voltage regulator disable sequence

To disable the ADC voltage regulator, follow the sequence below:

  1. 1. Make sure that the ADC is disabled (ADEN = 0).
  2. 2. Clear ADVREGEN bit in ADC_CR register.

14.3.3 Calibration (ADCAL)

The ADC has a calibration feature. During the procedure, the ADC calculates a calibration factor which is internally applied to the ADC until the next ADC power-off. The application must not use the ADC during calibration and must wait until it is complete.

Calibration should be performed before starting A/D conversion. It removes the offset error which may vary from chip to chip due to process variation.

The calibration is initiated by software by setting bit ADCAL = 1. Calibration can only be initiated when the ADC voltage regulator is enabled (ADVREGEN = 1 and t ADCVREG_SETUP has elapsed) and the ADC is disabled (when ADEN = 0). ADCAL bit stays at 1 during all the calibration sequence. It is then cleared by hardware as soon the calibration completes. After this, the calibration factor can be read from the ADC_DR register (from bits 6 to 0).

The internal analog calibration is kept if the ADC is disabled (ADEN = 0). When the ADC operating conditions change (V DDA changes are the main contributor to ADC offset variations and temperature change to a lesser extend), it is recommended to re-run a calibration cycle.

The calibration factor is lost in the following cases:

The calibration factor is lost each time power is removed from the ADC (for example when the product enters Standby or V BAT mode). Still, it is possible to save and restore the calibration factor by software to save time when re-starting the ADC (as long as temperature and voltage are stable during the ADC power-down).

The calibration factor can be written if the ADC is enabled but not converting (ADEN = 1 and ADSTART = 0). Then, at the next start of conversion, the calibration factor is automatically injected into the analog ADC. This loading is transparent and does not add any cycle latency to the start of the conversion.

Software calibration procedure

  1. 1. Ensure that ADEN = 0, ADVREGEN = 1 and DMAEN = 0.
  2. 2. Set ADCAL = 1.
  3. 3. Wait until ADCAL = 0 (or until EOCAL = 1). This can be handled by interrupt if the interrupt is enabled by setting the EOCALIE bit in the ADC_IER register
  4. 4. The calibration factor can be read from bits 6:0 of ADC_DR or ADC_CALFACT registers.

Figure 28. ADC calibration

Timing diagram for ADC calibration showing ADCAL, ADC State, ADC_DR[6:0], and ADC_CALFACT[6:0] signals over time. The sequence starts with ADC State at OFF. ADCAL is set by S/W, triggering a Startup phase, then a CALIBRATE phase of duration tCAB. During CALIBRATE, ADC_DR[6:0] is 0x00. After tCAB, ADCAL is reset by H/W, ADC State returns to OFF, and ADC_CALFACT[6:0] is updated with the CALIBRATION FACTOR.

Calibration factor forcing Software Procedure

  1. 1. Ensure that ADEN = 1 and ADSTART = 0 (ADC started with no conversion ongoing)
  2. 2. Write ADC_CALFACT with the saved calibration factor
  3. 3. The calibration factor is used as soon as a new conversion is launched.

Figure 29. Calibration factor forcing

Timing diagram for calibration factor forcing. It shows ADC state transitions: Ready (not converting) -> Converting channel (Single ended) -> Ready -> Converting channel (Single ended). A WRITE ADC_CALFACT by S/W occurs during the first Ready state, setting CALFACT[6:0] to F2. When a conversion starts (hardware or software), there is a brief 'Updating calibration' period where the internal calibration factor changes from F1 to F2 before the conversion proceeds.

14.3.4 ADC on-off control (ADEN, ADDIS, ADRDY)

At power-up, the ADC is disabled and put in power-down mode (ADEN = 0).

As shown in Figure 30, the ADC needs a stabilization time of \( t_{STAB} \) before it starts converting accurately.

Two control bits are used to enable or disable the ADC:

Conversion can then start either by setting ADSTART to 1 (refer to Section 14.4: Conversion on external trigger and trigger polarity (EXTSEL, EXTEN) on page 289 ) or when an external trigger event occurs if triggers are enabled.

Follow this procedure to enable the ADC:

Follow this procedure to disable the ADC:

Figure 30. Enabling/disabling the ADC

Timing diagram showing the sequence of signals (ADEN, ADRDY, ADDIS, ADC stat) for enabling and disabling the ADC. It includes phases like OFF, Startup, RDY, CONVERTING CH, and REQ-OFF. A legend indicates 'by S/W' (software) and 'by H/W' (hardware) transitions.

The diagram illustrates the timing for enabling and disabling the ADC. The top signal, ADEN, is set high by software (upward arrow) to enable the ADC. A stabilization time \( t_{STAB} \) is indicated between the rising edge of ADEN and the rising edge of ADRDY. The ADRDY signal goes high (by hardware, downward arrow) after the startup phase. The ADDIS signal is set high by software (upward arrow) to disable the ADC. The ADC stat signal shows a sequence of states: OFF, Startup, RDY, CONVERTING CH, RDY, REQ-OFF, and OFF. The transition from REQ-OFF to OFF is triggered by hardware (downward arrow). A legend at the bottom left indicates that upward arrows represent software (S/W) actions and downward arrows represent hardware (H/W) actions. The identifier MS30264V/2 is in the bottom right corner.

Note: In Auto-off mode (AUTOFF = 1) the power-on/off phases are performed automatically, by hardware and the ADRDY flag is not set.

14.3.5 ADC clock (CKMODE, PRESC[3:0])

The ADC has a dual clock-domain architecture, so that the ADC can be fed with a clock (ADC asynchronous clock) independent from the APB clock (PCLK).

Figure 31. ADC clock scheme

Figure 31. ADC clock scheme diagram showing the RCC (Reset & Clock Controller) providing PCLK and an ADC asynchronous clock to the ADITF. The ADITF contains an APB interface, a prescaler (/1 or /2 or /4) controlled by CKMODE[1:0] of ADC_CFGR2, and a divider (/1,2,4,6,8,10,12,16,32,64,128,256) controlled by PRESC[3:0] of ADC_CCR. A multiplexer selects between these sources based on CKMODE[1:0] of ADC_CFGR2 to provide the Analog ADC_CK to the Analog ADC.

The diagram illustrates the ADC clock scheme. On the left, the RCC (Reset & Clock Controller) provides two clock signals: PCLK and an ADC asynchronous clock. These signals enter the ADITF block. Inside the ADITF, the PCLK signal is connected to an APB interface and a prescaler block labeled "/1 or /2 or /4". This prescaler is controlled by bits CKMODE[1:0] of the ADC_CFGR2 register. The ADC asynchronous clock is connected to a divider block labeled "/1,2,4,6,8,10,12,16,32,64,128,256", which is controlled by bits PRESC[3:0] of the ADC_CCR register. Both the prescaler and the divider output to a multiplexer. The multiplexer is controlled by bits CKMODE[1:0] of the ADC_CFGR2 register. The output of the multiplexer is labeled "Analog ADC_CK" and is connected to the "Analog ADC" block. The diagram is labeled with the reference MSV31926V2.

Figure 31. ADC clock scheme diagram showing the RCC (Reset & Clock Controller) providing PCLK and an ADC asynchronous clock to the ADITF. The ADITF contains an APB interface, a prescaler (/1 or /2 or /4) controlled by CKMODE[1:0] of ADC_CFGR2, and a divider (/1,2,4,6,8,10,12,16,32,64,128,256) controlled by PRESC[3:0] of ADC_CCR. A multiplexer selects between these sources based on CKMODE[1:0] of ADC_CFGR2 to provide the Analog ADC_CK to the Analog ADC.
  1. 1. Refer to Section Reset and clock control (RCC) for how the PCLK clock and ADC asynchronous clock are enabled.

The input clock of the analog ADC can be selected between two different clock sources (see Figure 31: ADC clock scheme to see how the PCLK clock and the ADC asynchronous clock are enabled):

  1. a) The ADC clock can be a specific clock source, named “ADC asynchronous clock” which is independent and asynchronous with the APB clock.

Refer to RCC Section for more information on generating this clock source.

To select this scheme, bits CKMODE[1:0] of the ADC_CFGR2 register must be reset.

  1. b) The ADC clock can be derived from the APB clock of the ADC bus interface, divided by a programmable factor (1, 2 or 4) according to bits CKMODE[1:0].

To select this scheme, bits CKMODE[1:0] of the ADC_CFGR2 register must be different from “00”.

In option a), the generated ADC clock can eventually be divided by a prescaler (1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256) when programming the bits PRESC[3:0] in the ADC_CCR register).

Option a) has the advantage of reaching the maximum ADC clock frequency whatever the APB clock scheme selected.

Option b) has the advantage of bypassing the clock domain resynchronizations. This can be useful when the ADC is triggered by a timer and if the application requires that the ADC is precisely triggered without any uncertainty (otherwise, an uncertainty of the trigger instant is added by the resynchronizations between the two clock domains).

Table 58. Latency between trigger and start of conversion (1)(2)
ADC clock sourceCKMODE[1:0]Latency between the trigger event and the start of conversion
HSI16, SYSCLK, or PLLPCLK (3)00Latency is not deterministic (jitter)
PCLK divided by 201Latency is deterministic (no jitter) and equal to 3.25 ADC clock cycles
PCLK divided by 410Latency is deterministic (no jitter) and equal to 3.125 ADC clock cycles
PCLK divided by 111Latency is deterministic (no jitter) and equal to 3.5 ADC clock cycles
  1. 1. Refer to the device datasheet for the maximum ADC_CLK frequency.
  2. 2. If the trigger is generated by TIM1 or TIM15 clocked at twice the CPU clock frequency, then the latency is not deterministic and can be increased by one TIM1 or TIM15 clock cycle.
  3. 3. Selected with ADCSEL bitfield of the RCC_CCIPR register.

Caution: When selecting CKMODE[1:0] = 11 (PCLK divided by 1), the user must ensure that the PCLK has a 50% duty cycle. This is done by selecting a system clock with a 50% duty cycle and configuring the APB prescaler in bypass modes in the RCC (refer to there Reset and clock controller section). If an internal source clock is selected, the AHB and APB prescalers do not divide the clock.

14.3.6 ADC connectivity

ADC inputs are connected to the external channels as well as internal sources as described in Figure 32.

Figure 32. ADC connectivity

Figure 32. ADC connectivity diagram showing the internal connections of the ADC1 SAR block in an STM32G0xx microcontroller.

The diagram illustrates the internal architecture of the ADC1 SAR block within an STM32G0xx microcontroller. On the left, a vertical bus labeled "STM32G0xx" provides connections for various ADC input channels. These include external channels (ADC_IN0 to ADC_IN18) and internal sources (V SENSE , V REFINT , and V BAT/3 ). Each channel is connected to a switch that can route the signal to a common vertical bus labeled "Channel selection". The "Channel selection" bus is connected to the V IN input of a SAR ADC1 block. The SAR ADC1 block also receives V REF+ and V REF- inputs. The diagram is labeled with "MSV45361V3" in the bottom right corner.

Figure 32. ADC connectivity diagram showing the internal connections of the ADC1 SAR block in an STM32G0xx microcontroller.

14.3.7 Configuring the ADC

Software must write to the ADCAL and ADEN bits in the ADC_CR register if the ADC is disabled (ADEN must be 0).

Software must only write to the ADSTART and ADDIS bits in the ADC_CR register only if the ADC is enabled and there is no pending request to disable the ADC (ADEN = 1 and ADDIS = 0).

For all the other control bits in the ADC_IER, ADC_CFGRi, ADC_SMPR, ADC_CHSELR and ADC_CCR registers, refer to the description of the corresponding control bit in Section 14.12: ADC registers .

ADC_AWDTRx registers can be modified when conversion is ongoing.

Software must only write to the ADSTP bit in the ADC_CR register if the ADC is enabled (and possibly converting) and there is no pending request to disable the ADC (ADSTART = 1 and ADDIS = 0).

Note: There is no hardware protection preventing software from making write operations forbidden by the above rules. If such a forbidden write access occurs, the ADC may enter an undefined state. To recover correct operation in this case, the ADC must be disabled (clear ADEN = 0 and all the bits in the ADC_CR register).

14.3.8 Channel selection (CHSEL, SCANDIR, CHSELROMOD)

There are up to 19 multiplexed channels:

It is possible to convert a single channel or a sequence of channels.

The sequence of the channels to be converted can be programmed in the ADC_CHSELR channel selection register: each analog input channel has a dedicated selection bit (CHSELx).

The ADC scan sequencer can be used in two different modes:

After programming ADC CHSELR, SCANDIR and CHSELRMOD bits, it is mandatory to wait for CCRDY flag before starting conversions. It indicates that the new channel setting has been applied. If a new configuration is required, the CCRDY flag must be cleared prior to starting the conversion.

The software is allowed to program the CHSEL, SCANDIR, CHSELRMOD bits only when ADSTART bit is cleared to 0 (which ensures that no conversion is ongoing).

Temperature sensor, \( V_{REFINT} \) and \( V_{BAT} \) internal channels

The temperature sensor is connected to channel ADC \( V_{IN}[12] \) .

The internal voltage reference \( V_{REFINT} \) is connected to channel ADC \( V_{IN}[13] \) .

The \( V_{BAT} \) channel is connected to ADC \( V_{IN}[14] \) channel.

14.3.9 Programmable sampling time (SMPx[2:0])

Before starting a conversion, the ADC needs to establish a direct connection between the voltage source to be measured and the embedded sampling capacitor of the ADC. This sampling time must be enough for the input voltage source to charge the sample and hold capacitor to the input voltage level.

Having a programmable sampling time allows the conversion speed to be trimmed according to the input resistance of the input voltage source.

The ADC samples the input voltage for a number of ADC clock cycles that can be modified using the SMP1[2:0] and SMP2[2:0] bits in the ADC_SMPR register.

Each channel can choose one out of two sampling times configured in SMP1[2:0] and SMP2[2:0] bitfields, through SMPSELx bits in ADC_SMPR register.

The total conversion time is calculated as follows:

\[ t_{CONV} = \text{Sampling time} + 12.5 \times \text{ADC clock cycles} \]

Example:

With \( ADC\_CLK = 16 \text{ MHz} \) and a sampling time of 1.5 ADC clock cycles:

\[ t_{CONV} = 1.5 + 12.5 = 14 \text{ ADC clock cycles} = 0.875 \mu\text{s} \]

The ADC indicates the end of the sampling phase by setting the EOSMP flag.

14.3.10 Single conversion mode (CONT = 0)

In Single conversion mode, the ADC performs a single sequence of conversions, converting all the channels once. This mode is selected when CONT = 0 in the ADC_CFGR1 register. Conversion is started by either:

Inside the sequence, after each conversion is complete:

After the sequence of conversions is complete:

Then the ADC stops until a new external trigger event occurs or the ADSTART bit is set again.

Note: To convert a single channel, program a sequence with a length of 1.

14.3.11 Continuous conversion mode (CONT = 1)

In continuous conversion mode, when a software or hardware trigger event occurs, the ADC performs a sequence of conversions, converting all the channels once and then automatically re-starts and continuously performs the same sequence of conversions. This mode is selected when CONT = 1 in the ADC_CFGR1 register. Conversion is started by either:

Inside the sequence, after each conversion is complete:

After the sequence of conversions is complete:

Then, a new sequence restarts immediately and the ADC continuously repeats the conversion sequence.

Note: To convert a single channel, program a sequence with a length of 1.

It is not possible to have both discontinuous mode and continuous mode enabled: it is forbidden to set both bits DISCEN = 1 and CONT = 1.

14.3.12 Starting conversions (ADSTART)

Software starts ADC conversions by setting ADSTART = 1.

When ADSTART is set, the conversion:

The ADSTART bit is also used to indicate whether an ADC operation is currently ongoing. It is possible to re-configure the ADC while ADSTART = 0, indicating that the ADC is idle.

The ADSTART bit is cleared by hardware:

Note: In continuous mode (CONT = 1), the ADSTART bit is not cleared by hardware when the EOS flag is set because the sequence is automatically relaunched.

When hardware trigger is selected in single mode (CONT = 0 and EXTEN = 01), ADSTART is not cleared by hardware when the EOS flag is set. This avoids the need for software having to set the ADSTART bit again and ensures the next trigger event is not missed.

After changing channel selection configuration (by programming ADC_CHSELR register or changing CHSELRMOD or SCANDIR), it is mandatory to wait until CCRDY flag is asserted before asserting ADSTART, otherwise the value written to ADSTART is ignored.

14.3.13 Timings

The elapsed time between the start of a conversion and the end of conversion is the sum of the configured sampling time plus the successive approximation time depending on data resolution:

\[ t_{CONV} = t_{SMPL} + t_{SAR} = [1.5_{|min} + 12.5_{|12bit}] \times t_{ADC\_CLK} \]

\[ t_{CONV} = t_{SMPL} + t_{SAR} = 42.9 \text{ ns}_{|min} + 357.1 \text{ ns}_{|12bit} = 0.400 \text{ } \mu\text{s}_{|min} \text{ (for } f_{ADC\_CLK} = 35 \text{ MHz)} \]

The diagram shows the timing of an ADC conversion. The ADC state transitions from RDY to SAMPLING CH(N), then to CONVERTING CH(N), and finally to SAMPLING CH(N+1). The analog channel switches from CH(N) to CH(N+1) during the sampling phase. The internal S/H signal shows 'Sample AIN(N+1)' during the sampling phase and 'Hold AIN(N)' during the converting phase. The ADSTART signal is set by software (SW) to start the conversion. The EOSMP signal is set by hardware (HW) at the end of sampling and cleared by SW. The EOC signal is set by HW at the end of conversion and cleared by SW. The ADC_DR register contains DATA N-1 during the conversion of CH(N) and DATA N during the conversion of CH(N+1).

14.3.14 Stopping an ongoing conversion (ADSTP)

The software can decide to stop any ongoing conversions by setting ADSTP = 1 in the ADC_CR register.

This resets the ADC operation and the ADC is idle, ready for a new operation.

When the ADSTP bit is set by software, any ongoing conversion is aborted and the result is discarded (ADC_DR register is not updated with the current conversion).

The scan sequence is also aborted and reset (meaning that restarting the ADC would restart a new sequence).

Once this procedure is complete, the ADSTP and ADSTART bits are both cleared by hardware and the software must wait until ADSTART=0 before starting new conversions.

Figure 35. Stopping an ongoing conversion

Timing diagram showing the sequence of events to stop an ongoing conversion. The diagram shows four horizontal timelines: ADC state, ADSTART, ADSTOP, and ADC_DR. The ADC state transitions from RDY to SAMPLING CH(N) to CONVERTING CH(N) and back to RDY. ADSTART is set by software at the start and cleared by hardware when the ADC returns to RDY. ADSTOP is set by software while the ADC is in the CONVERTING CH(N) state and is cleared by hardware when the ADC returns to RDY. The ADC_DR register contains DATA N-1 during the conversion.

The ADSTART bit is set by software at the beginning and cleared by hardware when the ADC returns to the RDY state. The ADSTOP bit is set by software while the ADC is in the CONVERTING CH(N) state and is cleared by hardware when the ADC returns to the RDY state. The ADC_DR register contains DATA N-1 during the conversion.

14.4 Conversion on external trigger and trigger polarity (EXTSEL, EXTEN)

A conversion or a sequence of conversion can be triggered either by software or by an external event (for example timer capture). If the EXTEN[1:0] control bits are not equal to "0b00", then external events are able to trigger a conversion with the selected polarity. The trigger selection is effective once software has set bit ADSTART = 1.

Any hardware triggers which occur while a conversion is ongoing are ignored.

If bit ADSTART = 0, any hardware triggers which occur are ignored.

Table 59 provides the correspondence between the EXTEN[1:0] values and the trigger polarity.

Table 59. Configuring the trigger polarity

SourceEXTEN[1:0]
Trigger detection disabled00
Detection on rising edge01
Detection on falling edge10
Detection on both rising and falling edges11

Note: The polarity of the external trigger can be changed only when the ADC is not converting (ADSTART = 0).

The EXTSEL[2:0] control bits are used to select which of 8 possible events can trigger conversions.

Refer to Table 57: External triggers in Section 14.3.1: ADC pins and internal signals for the list of all the external triggers that can be used for regular conversion.

The software source trigger events can be generated by setting the ADSTART bit in the ADC_CR register.

Note: The trigger selection can be changed only when the ADC is not converting (ADSTART = 0).

14.4.1 Discontinuous mode (DISCEN)

This mode is enabled by setting the DISCEN bit in the ADC_CFGR1 register.

In this mode (DISCEN = 1), a hardware or software trigger event is required to start each conversion defined in the sequence. On the contrary, if DISCEN = 0, a single hardware or software trigger event successively starts all the conversions defined in the sequence.

Example:

Note: It is not possible to have both discontinuous mode and continuous mode enabled: it is forbidden to set both bits DISCEN = 1 and CONT = 1.

14.4.2 Programmable resolution (RES) - Fast conversion mode

It is possible to obtain faster conversion times ( \( t_{SAR} \) ) by reducing the ADC resolution.

The resolution can be configured to be either 12, 10, 8, or 6 bits by programming the RES[1:0] bits in the ADC_CFGR1 register. Lower resolution allows faster conversion times for applications where high data precision is not required.

Note: The RES[1:0] bit must only be changed when the ADEN bit is reset.

The result of the conversion is always 12 bits wide and any unused LSB bits are read as zeros.

Lower resolution reduces the conversion time needed for the successive approximation steps as shown in Table 60 .

14.4.3 End of conversion, end of sampling phase (EOC, EOSMP flags)

The ADC indicates each end of conversion (EOC) event.

The ADC sets the EOC flag in the ADC_ISR register as soon as a new conversion data result is available in the ADC_DR register. An interrupt can be generated if the EOCIE bit is set in the ADC_IER register. The EOC flag is cleared by software either by writing 1 to it, or by reading the ADC_DR register.

The ADC also indicates the end of sampling phase by setting the EOSMP flag in the ADC_ISR register. The EOSMP flag is cleared by software by writing 1 to it. An interrupt can be generated if the EOSMPIE bit is set in the ADC_IER register.

The aim of this interrupt is to allow the processing to be synchronized with the conversions. Typically, an analog multiplexer can be accessed in hidden time during the conversion phase, so that the multiplexer is positioned when the next sampling starts.

Note: As there is only a very short time left between the end of the sampling and the end of the conversion, it is recommenced to use polling or a WFE instruction rather than an interrupt and a WFI instruction.

14.4.4 End of conversion sequence (EOS flag)

The ADC notifies the application of each end of sequence (EOS) event.

The ADC sets the EOS flag in the ADC_ISR register as soon as the last data result of a conversion sequence is available in the ADC_DR register. An interrupt can be generated if the EOSIE bit is set in the ADC_IER register. The EOS flag is cleared by software by writing 1 to it.

14.4.6 Low frequency trigger mode

Once the ADC is enabled or the last ADC conversion is complete, the ADC is ready to start a new conversion. The ADC needs to be started at a predefined time ( \( t_{idle} \) ) otherwise ADC converted data might be corrupted due to the transistor leakage (refer to the device datasheet for the maximum value of \( t_{idle} \) ).

If the application has to support a time longer than the maximum \( t_{idle} \) value (between one trigger to another for single conversion mode or between the ADC enable and the first ADC conversion), then the ADC internal state needs to be rearmed. This mechanism can be enabled by setting LFTRIG bit to 1 in ADC_CFGR2 register. By setting this bit, any trigger (software or hardware) sends a rearm command to ADC. The conversion is started after a two ADC clock cycle delay compared to LFTRIG set to 0.

It is not necessary to use this mode when AUTOFF bit is set to 1. For Wait mode, only the first trigger generates an internal rearm command.

14.5 Data management

14.5.1 Data register and data alignment (ADC_DR, ALIGN)

At the end of each conversion (when an EOC event occurs), the result of the converted data is stored in the ADC_DR data register which is 16-bit wide.

The format of the ADC_DR depends on the configured data alignment and resolution.

The ALIGN bit in the ADC_CFGR1 register selects the alignment of the data stored after conversion. Data can be right-aligned (ALIGN = 0) or left-aligned (ALIGN = 1) as shown in Figure 40.

MS30342V1

14.5.2 ADC overrun (OVR, OVRMOD)

The overrun flag (OVR) indicates a data overrun event, when the converted data was not read in time by the CPU or the DMA, before the data from a new conversion is available.

The OVR flag is set in the ADC_ISR register if the EOC flag is still at '1' at the time when a new conversion completes. An interrupt can be generated if the OVRIE bit is set in the ADC_IER register.

When an overrun condition occurs, the ADC keeps operating and can continue to convert unless the software decides to stop and reset the sequence by setting the ADSTP bit in the ADC_CR register.

The OVR flag is cleared by software by writing 1 to it.

It is possible to configure if the data is preserved or overwritten when an overrun event occurs by programming the OVRMOD bit in the ADC_CFGR1 register:

Figure 41. Example of overrun (OVR)

Timing diagram illustrating an overrun condition in an ADC. The diagram shows the relationship between ADSTART, EOC, EOS, OVR, ADSTP, TRGx, ADC state, ADC_DR read access, and ADC_DR data for two modes: OVRMOD=0 and OVRMOD=1. An overrun occurs when a new conversion starts before the previous one is read.

The diagram illustrates the timing of an ADC overrun condition. The signals shown are:

The diagram shows the relationship between ADSTART, EOC, EOS, OVR, ADSTP, TRGx, ADC state, ADC_DR read access, and ADC_DR data for two modes: OVRMOD=0 and OVRMOD=1. An overrun occurs when a new conversion starts before the previous one is read.

14.5.3 Managing a sequence of data converted without using the DMA

If the conversions are slow enough, the conversion sequence can be handled by software. In this case the software must use the EOC flag and its associated interrupt to handle each data result. Each time a conversion is complete, the EOC bit is set in the ADC_ISR register and the ADC_DR register can be read. The OVRMOD bit in the ADC_CFGR1 register should be configured to 0 to manage overrun events as an error.

14.5.4 Managing converted data without using the DMA without overrun

It may be useful to let the ADC convert one or more channels without reading the data after each conversion. In this case, the OVRMOD bit must be configured at 1 and the OVR flag should be ignored by the software. When OVRMOD = 1, an overrun event does not prevent the ADC from continuing to convert and the ADC_DR register always contains the latest conversion data.

14.5.5 Managing converted data using the DMA

Since all converted channel values are stored in a single data register, it is efficient to use DMA when converting more than one channel. This avoids losing the conversion data results stored in the ADC_DR register.

When DMA mode is enabled (DMAEN bit set to 1 in the ADC_CFGR1 register), a DMA request is generated after the conversion of each channel. This allows the transfer of the converted data from the ADC_DR register to the destination location selected by the software.

Note: The DMAEN bit in the ADC_CFGR1 register must be set after the ADC calibration phase.

Despite this, if an overrun occurs (OVR = 1) because the DMA could not serve the DMA transfer request in time, the ADC stops generating DMA requests and the data corresponding to the new conversion is not transferred by the DMA. Which means that all the data transferred to the RAM can be considered as valid.

Depending on the configuration of OVRMOD bit, the data is either preserved or overwritten (refer to Section 14.5.2: ADC overrun (OVR, OVRMOD) on page 294 ).

The DMA transfer requests are blocked until the software clears the OVR bit.

Two different DMA modes are proposed depending on the application use and are configured with bit DMACFG in the ADC_CFGR1 register:

DMA one shot mode (DMACFG = 0)

In this mode, the ADC generates a DMA transfer request each time a new conversion data word is available and stops generating DMA requests once the DMA has reached the last DMA transfer (when a DMA_EOT interrupt occurs, see Section 9: Direct memory access controller (DMA) on page 213 ) even if a conversion has been started again.

When the DMA transfer is complete (all the transfers configured in the DMA controller have been done):

DMA circular mode (DMACFG = 1)

In this mode, the ADC generates a DMA transfer request each time a new conversion data word is available in the data register, even if the DMA has reached the last DMA transfer. This allows the DMA to be configured in circular mode to handle a continuous analog input data stream.

14.6 Low-power features

14.6.1 Wait mode conversion

Wait mode conversion can be used to simplify the software as well as optimizing the performance of applications clocked at low frequency where there might be a risk of ADC overrun occurring.

When the WAIT bit is set to 1 in the ADC_CFGR1 register, a new conversion can start only if the previous data has been treated, once the ADC_DR register has been read or if the EOC bit has been cleared.

This is a way to automatically adapt the speed of the ADC to the speed of the system that reads the data.

Note: Any hardware triggers which occur while a conversion is ongoing or during the wait time preceding the read access are ignored.

Figure 42. Wait mode conversion (continuous mode, software trigger)

Timing diagram for Figure 42 showing ADC signals over time. The diagram includes ADSTART (software trigger), EOC (end of conversion), EOS (end of sequence), ADSTP (stop), ADC_DR Read access, ADC state (RDY, CH1, DLY, CH2, DLY, CH3, DLY, CH1, DLY, STOP, RDY), and ADC_DR (data registers D1, D2, D3, D1). A legend indicates 'by S/W' for rising edges and 'by H/W' for falling edges.

The timing diagram illustrates the sequence of events for a software-triggered continuous conversion in wait mode.
1. ADSTART : A rising edge (by S/W) initiates the conversion sequence.
2. ADC state : The state transitions from RDY to CH1 , then DLY , CH2 , DLY , CH3 , DLY , CH1 , DLY , STOP , and finally RDY .
3. ADC_DR : Data values D1 , D2 , D3 , and D1 are produced during the conversion phases.
4. ADC_DR Read access : Pulses occur when the data register is read, coinciding with the EOC signals.
5. EOC : End-of-conversion signals toggle between high and low for each conversion.
6. EOS : End-of-sequence signal goes high after the third conversion (CH3) and returns low when the sequence stops.

  1. 1. EXTEN = 00, CONT = 1
  2. 2. CHSEL = 0x3, SCANDIR = 0, WAIT = 1, AUTOFF = 0

14.6.2 Auto-off mode (AUTOFF)

The ADC has an automatic power management feature which is called auto-off mode, and is enabled by setting AUTOFF = 1 in the ADC_CFGR1 register.

When AUTOFF = 1, the ADC is always powered off when not converting and automatically wakes-up when a conversion is started (by software or hardware trigger). A startup-time is automatically inserted between the trigger event which starts the conversion and the sampling time of the ADC. The ADC is then automatically disabled once the sequence of conversions is complete.

Auto-off mode can cause a dramatic reduction in the power consumption of applications which need relatively few conversions or when conversion requests are timed far enough apart (for example with a low frequency hardware trigger) to justify the extra power and extra time used for switching the ADC on and off.

Auto-off mode can be combined with the wait mode conversion (WAIT = 1) for applications clocked at low frequency. This combination can provide significant power savings if the ADC is automatically powered-off during the wait phase and restarted as soon as the ADC_DR register is read by the application (see Figure 44: Behavior with WAIT = 1, AUTOFF = 1 ).

Note: Please refer to the Section Reset and clock control (RCC) for the description of how to manage the dedicated 14 MHz internal oscillator. The ADC interface can automatically switch ON/OFF the 14 MHz internal oscillator to save power.

14.7 Analog window watchdog (AWD1EN, AWD1SGL, AWD1CH, ADC_AWDxCR, ADC_AWDxTR)

The three AWD analog watchdogs monitor whether some channels remain within a configured voltage range (window).

14.7.1 Description of analog watchdog 1

AWD1 analog watchdog is enabled by setting the AWD1EN bit in the ADC_CFGR1 register. It is used to monitor that either one selected channel or all enabled channels (see Table 62: Analog watchdog 1 channel selection ) remain within a configured voltage range (window) as shown in Figure 45 .

The AWD1 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 HT1[11:0] and LT1[11:0] bits of ADC_AWD1TR register. An interrupt can be enabled by setting the AWD1IE bit in the ADC_IER register.

The AWD1 flag is cleared by software by programming it to 1.

When converting data with a resolution of less than 12-bit (according to bits DRES[1:0]), the LSB of the programmed thresholds must be kept cleared because the internal comparison is always performed on the full 12-bit raw converted data (left aligned).

Table 61 describes how the comparison is performed for all the possible resolutions.

Table 61. Analog watchdog comparison

Table 62 shows how to configure the AWD1SGL and AWD1EN bits in the ADC_CFGR1 register to enable the analog watchdog on one or more channels.

14.7.2 Description of analog watchdog 2 and 3

The second and third analog watchdogs are more flexible and can guard several selected channels by programming the AWDxCHy in ADC_AWDxCR (x = 2, 3).

The corresponding watchdog is enabled when any AWDxCHy bit (x = 2,3) is set in ADC_AWDxCR register.

When converting data with a resolution of less than 12 bits (configured through DRES[1:0] bits), the LSB of the programmed thresholds must be kept cleared because the internal comparison is always performed on the full 12-bit raw converted data (left aligned).

Table 61 describes how the comparison is performed for all the possible resolutions.

The AWD2/3 analog watchdog status bit is set if the analog voltage converted by the ADC is below a low threshold or above a high threshold. These thresholds are programmed in HTx[11:0] and LTx[11:0] of ADC_AWDxTR registers (x = 2 or 3). An interrupt can be enabled by setting the AWDxIE bit in the ADC_IER register.

The AWD2 and ADW3 flags are cleared by software by programming them to 1.

14.7.3 ADC_AWDx_OUT output signal generation

Each analog watchdog is associated to an internal hardware signal, ADC_AWDx_OUT (x being the watchdog number) that is directly connected to the ETR input (external trigger) of some on-chip timers (refer to the timers section for details on how to select the ADC_AWDx_OUT signal as ETR).

ADC_AWDx_OUT is activated when the associated analog watchdog is enabled:

AWDx flag is set by hardware and reset by software: AWDx flag has no influence on the generation of ADC_AWDx_OUT (as an example, ADC_AWDx_OUT can toggle while AWDx flag remains at 1 if the software has not cleared the flag).

The ADC_AWDx_OUT signal is generated by the ADC_CLK domain. This signal can be generated even the APB clock is stopped.

The AWD comparison is performed at the end of each ADC conversion. The ADC_AWDx_OUT rising edge and falling edge occurs two ADC_CLK clock cycles after the comparison.

As ADC_AWDx_OUT is generated by the ADC_CLK domain and AWD flag is generated by the APB clock domain, the rising edges of these signals are not synchronized.

Figure 46. ADC_AWDx_OUT signal generation

Timing diagram for Figure 46 showing ADC STATE, EOC FLAG, AWDx FLAG, and ADC_AWDx_OUT signals across seven conversions. The AWDx FLAG is cleared by software for conversions 3, 4, 5, and 6.

The diagram shows four signal lines over time, divided into segments for each conversion. The ADC STATE line shows a sequence of RDY, Conversion1 (inside), Conversion2 (outside), Conversion3 (inside), Conversion4 (outside), Conversion5 (outside), Conversion6 (outside), and Conversion7 (inside). The EOC FLAG pulses high at the end of each conversion. The AWDx FLAG goes high after Conversion2 and is cleared by software (SW) after Conversions 3, 4, 5, and 6. The ADC_AWDx_OUT signal changes state based on the AWDx FLAG, with edges occurring two clock cycles after the comparison points.

This diagram is similar to Figure 46 but with a key difference in the AWDx FLAG signal.

14.7.4 Analog Watchdog threshold control

LTx[11:0] and HTx[11:0] can be changed during an analog-to-digital conversion (that is between the start of the conversion and the end of conversion of the ADC internal state). If HTx and LTx bits are programmed during the ADC guarded channel conversion, the watchdog function is masked for this conversion. This mask is cleared when starting a new conversion, and the resulting new AWD threshold is applied starting the next ADC conversion result. AWD comparison is performed at each end of conversion. If the current ADC data are out of the new threshold interval, this does not generate any interrupt or an ADC_AWDx_OUT signal. The Interrupt and the ADC_AWDx_OUT generation only occurs at the end of the ADC conversion that started after the threshold update. If ADC_AWDx_OUT is already asserted, programming the new threshold does not deactivate the ADC_AWDx_OUT signal.

14.8 Oversampler

The oversampling unit performs data preprocessing to offload the CPU. It can handle multiple conversions and average them into a single data with increased data width, up to 16-bit.

It provides a result with the following form, where N and M can be adjusted:

\[ \text{Result} = \frac{1}{M} \times \sum_{n=0}^{n=N-1} \text{Conversion}(t_n) \]

It allows the following functions to be performed by hardware: averaging, data rate reduction, SNR improvement, basic filtering.

The oversampling ratio N is defined using the OVFS[2:0] bits in the ADC_CFGR2 register. It can range from 2x to 256x. The division coefficient M consists of a right bit shift up to 8 bits. It is configured through the OVSS[3:0] bits in the ADC_CFGR2 register.

The summation unit can yield a result up to 20 bits (256 x 12-bit), which is first shifted right. The upper bits of the result are then truncated, keeping only the 16 least significant bits rounded to the nearest value using the least significant bits left apart by the shifting, before being finally transferred into the ADC_DR data register.

Note: If the intermediate result after the shifting exceeds 16 bits, the upper bits of the result are simply truncated.

The top bar, 'Raw 20-bit data', has bits 19, 15, 11, 7, 3, and 0 marked. The middle bar, 'Shifting', shows a rightward arrow indicating a shift. The bottom bar, 'Truncation and rounding', shows the resulting 16-bit sequence with bits 15 and 0 marked. A dashed vertical line separates the 20-bit raw data from the 16-bit truncated result. The text 'MS31928V2' is in the bottom right corner.

The conversion timings in oversampled mode do not change compared to standard conversion mode: the sample time is maintained equal during the whole oversampling sequence. New data are provided every N conversion, with an equivalent delay equal to \( N \times t_{\text{CONV}} = N \times (t_{\text{SMP}} + t_{\text{SAR}}) \) . The flags features are raised as following:

14.8.1 ADC operating modes supported when oversampling

In oversampling mode, most of the ADC operating modes are available:

Note: The alignment mode is not available when working with oversampled data. The ALIGN bit in ADC_CFGR1 is ignored and the data are always provided right-aligned.

14.8.2 Analog watchdog

The analog watchdog functionality is available (AWDxSGL, AW1DEN and AWDxCH bits), with the following differences:

Note: Care must be taken when using high shifting values. This reduces the comparison range. For instance, if the oversampled result is shifted by 4 bits thus yielding a 12-bit data right-aligned, the affective analog watchdog comparison can only be performed on 8 bits. The comparison is done between ADC_DR[11:4] and HTx[7:0] / LTx[7:0], and HTx[11:8] / LTx[11:8] must be kept reset.

14.8.3 Triggered mode

The averager can also be used for basic filtering purposes. Although not a very efficient filter (slow roll-off and limited stop band attenuation), it can be used as a notch filter to reject constant parasitic frequencies (typically coming from the mains or from a switched mode power supply). For this purpose, a specific discontinuous mode can be enabled with TOVS bit in ADC_CFGR2, to be able to have an oversampling frequency defined by a user and independent from the conversion time itself.

Figure 52 below shows how conversions are started in response to triggers in discontinuous mode.

If the TOVS bit is set, the content of the DISCEN bit is ignored and considered as 1.

Figure 52. Triggered oversampling mode (TOVS bit = 1) Figure 52: Triggered oversampling mode (TOVS bit = 1). The diagram illustrates two ADC conversion scenarios. The top scenario shows a single trigger initiating a sequence of four conversions (Ch(N) 0, 1, 2, 3) with settings CONT = 0, (DISCEN = 1)*, and TOVS = 0. The bottom scenario shows seven triggers initiating a sequence of seven conversions (Ch(N) 0, 1, 2, 3, 0, 1, 2) with settings CONT = 0, (DISCEN = 1)*, and TOVS = 1. Both sequences end with an 'EOC flag set'.

14.9 Temperature sensor and internal reference voltage

The temperature sensor can be used to measure the junction temperature ( \( T_J \) ) of the device. The temperature sensor is internally connected to the ADC \( V_{IN}[12] \) input channel which is used to convert the sensor's output voltage to a digital value. The sampling time for the temperature sensor analog pin must be greater than the minimum \( T_{S\_temp} \) value specified in the datasheet. When not in use, the sensor can be put in power down mode.

The internal voltage reference ( \( V_{REFINT} \) ) provides a stable (bandgap) voltage output for the ADC. \( V_{REFINT} \) is internally connected to the ADC \( V_{IN}[13] \) input channel. The precise voltage of \( V_{REFINT} \) is individually measured for each part by ST during production test and stored in the system memory area.

Figure 53 shows the block diagram of connections between the temperature sensor, the internal voltage reference and the ADC.

The TSEN bit must be set to enable the conversion of ADC \( V_{IN}[12] \) (temperature sensor) and the VREFEN bit must be set to enable the conversion of ADC \( V_{IN}[13] \) ( \( V_{REFINT} \) ).

The temperature sensor output voltage changes linearly with temperature. The offset of this line varies from chip to chip due to process variation (up to 45 °C from one chip to another).

The uncalibrated internal temperature sensor is more suited for applications that detect temperature variations instead of absolute temperatures. To improve the accuracy of the temperature sensor measurement, calibration values are stored in system memory for each device by ST during production.

During the manufacturing process, the calibration data of the temperature sensor and the internal voltage reference are stored in the system memory area. The user application can then read them and use them to improve the accuracy of the temperature sensor or the internal reference. Refer to the datasheet for additional information.

Main features

Figure 53. Temperature sensor and V REFINT channel block diagram

Figure 53. Temperature sensor and VREFINT channel block diagram. The diagram shows two input sources connected to an ADC. The first source is a 'Temperature sensor' connected to an operational amplifier (op-amp) configured as a buffer. The op-amp's non-inverting input (+) is connected to the temperature sensor, and its output is labeled VSENSE. The op-amp is controlled by a 'TSEN control bit'. The VSENSE output is connected to the 'ADC VIN[12]' input. The second source is an 'Internal power block' connected to another op-amp configured as a buffer. This op-amp's non-inverting input (+) is connected to the internal power block, and its output is labeled VREFINT. This op-amp is controlled by a 'VREFEN control bit'. The VREFINT output is connected to the 'ADC VIN[13]' input. Both ADC inputs (VIN[12] and VIN[13]) are part of a larger 'ADC' block. The ADC outputs 'converted data' to an 'Address/data bus'. The diagram is labeled MSv62466V1 in the bottom right corner.

Reading the temperature

  1. 1. Select the ADC V IN [12] input channel
  2. 2. Select an appropriate sampling time specified in the device datasheet (T S_temp ).
  3. 3. Set the TSEN bit in the ADC_CCR register to wake up the temperature sensor from power down mode and wait for its stabilization time (t START ).
  4. 4. Start the ADC conversion by setting the ADSTART bit in the ADC_CR register (or by external trigger)
  5. 5. Read the resulting V SENSE data in the ADC_DR register
  6. 6. Calculate the temperature using the following formula

\[ \text{Temperature (in } ^\circ\text{C)} = \frac{\text{TS\_CAL2\_TEMP} - \text{TS\_CAL1\_TEMP}}{\text{TS\_CAL2} - \text{TS\_CAL1}} \times (\text{TS\_DATA} - \text{TS\_CAL1}) + \text{TS\_CAL1\_TEMP} \]

Where:

Note: The sensor has a startup time after waking from power down mode before it can output V SENSE at the correct level. The ADC also has a startup time after power-on, so to minimize the delay, the ADEN and TSEN bits should be set at the same time.

Calculating the actual \( V_{REF+} \) voltage using the internal reference voltage

\( V_{REF+} \) voltage may be subject to variation or not precisely known. The embedded internal reference voltage ( \( V_{REFINT} \) ) and its calibration data acquired by the ADC during the manufacturing process at \( V_{REF+\_Charac} \) can be used to evaluate the actual \( V_{REF+} \) voltage level.

The following formula gives the actual \( V_{REF+} \) voltage supplying the device:

\[ V_{REF+} = V_{REF+\_Charac} \times VREFINT\_CAL / VREFINT\_DATA \]

Where:

Converting a supply-relative ADC measurement to an absolute voltage value

The ADC is designed to deliver a digital value corresponding to the ratio between the analog power supply and the voltage applied on the converted channel. For most application use cases, it is necessary to convert this ratio into a voltage independent of \( V_{REF+} \) . For applications where \( V_{REF+} \) is known and ADC converted values are right-aligned you can use the following formula to get this absolute value:

\[ V_{CHANNELx} = \frac{V_{REF+}}{FULL\_SCALE} \times ADC\_DATA_x \]

For applications where \( V_{REF+} \) value is not known, you must use the internal voltage reference and \( V_{REF+} \) can be replaced by the expression provided in Section : Calculating the actual \( V_{REF+} \) voltage using the internal reference voltage , resulting in the following formula:

\[ V_{CHANNELx} = \frac{V_{REF+\_Charac} \times VREFINT\_CAL \times ADC\_DATA_x}{VREFINT\_DATA \times FULL\_SCALE} \]

Where:

Note: If ADC measurements are done using an output format other than 12 bit right-aligned, all the parameters must first be converted to a compatible format before the calculation is done.

14.10 Battery voltage monitoring

The \( VBATEN \) bit in the \( ADC\_CCR \) register allows the application to measure the backup battery voltage on the \( VBAT \) pin. As the \( V_{BAT} \) voltage could be higher than \( V_{REF+} \) , to ensure

the correct operation of the ADC, the \( V_{BAT} \) pin is internally connected to a bridge divider. This bridge is automatically enabled when \( V_{BATEN} \) is set, to connect \( V_{BAT} \) to the ADC \( V_{IN}[14] \) input channel. As a consequence, the converted digital value is half the \( V_{BAT} \) voltage. To prevent any unwanted consumption on the battery, it is recommended to enable the bridge divider only when needed for ADC conversion.

Figure 54. \( V_{BAT} \) channel block diagram

Block diagram of the VBAT channel showing a bridge divider connected to the ADC VIN[14] input, controlled by the VBATEN control bit. The diagram shows VBAT connected to a switch controlled by VBATEN, which then connects to a bridge divider. The output of the divider, VBAT/3, is connected to the non-inverting input of an operational amplifier. The op-amp's output is connected to the ADC VIN[14] input. The ADC is connected to an Address/data bus. The diagram is labeled MSV45367V2.

0: No ADDIS command ongoing

1: Write 1 to disable the ADC. Read 1 means that an ADDIS command is in progress.

Note: Setting ADDIS to '1' is only effective when ADEN = 1 and ADSTART = 0 (which ensures that no conversion is ongoing)

Bit 0 ADEN: ADC enable command

This bit is set by software to enable the ADC. The ADC is effectively ready to operate once the ADRDY flag has been set.

It is cleared by hardware when the ADC is disabled, after the execution of the ADDIS command.

0: ADC is disabled (OFF state)

1: Write 1 to enable the ADC.

Note: The software is allowed to set ADEN only when all bits of ADC_CR registers are 0 (ADCAL = 0, ADSTP = 0, ADSTART = 0, ADDIS = 0 and ADEN = 0)

Bits 18:0 AWD2CH[18:0] : Analog watchdog channel selection

These bits are set and cleared by software. They enable and select the input channels to be guarded by analog watchdog 2 (AWD2).

0: ADC analog channel-x is not monitored by AWD2

1: ADC analog channel-x is monitored by AWD2

Note: The channels selected through ADC_AWD2CR must be also configured into the ADC_CHSELR registers. Refer to SQ8[3:0] for a definition of channel selection. The software is allowed to write this bit only when ADSTART = 0 (which ensures that no conversion is ongoing).
