Hello All,

I am using STM32F2 series of controller.

I want to monitor the battery voltage of my device which is connected to GPIO Pin 3 of port A which has alternate function of ADC1.

Here is my code

void RCC_Configuration(void)

{

RCC_AHB1PeriphClockCmd(RCC_AHB1Periph_GPIOA, ENABLE);

  //Enable ADC1 Clock

  RCC_APB2PeriphClockCmd(RCC_APB2Periph_ADC1, ENABLE);

   RCC_AHB1PeriphClockCmd(RCC_AHB1Periph_GPIOA, ENABLE);

   RCC_AHB1PeriphResetCmd(RCC_AHB1Periph_DMA2, ENABLE);

}

void GPIO_Configuration(void)

{

GPIO_InitStructure.GPIO_Pin = GPIO_Pin_3;

  GPIO_InitStructure.GPIO_Mode = GPIO_Mode_AN;

  GPIO_InitStructure.GPIO_PuPd = GPIO_PuPd_NOPULL ;

  GPIO_Init(GPIOA, &GPIO_InitStructure);

}

volatile uint16_t ADC1ConveretedValue[64]=0;

volatile uint32_t ADC1ConvertedVoltage=0;

 

 void DMA_Configuration(void)

  {

     DMA_InitTypeDef DMA_InitStructure;

  /* DMA2_Stream0 channel0 configuration **************************************/

  DMA_DeInit(DMA2_Stream0);

  DMA_InitStructure.DMA_Channel = DMA_Channel_0; 

  DMA_InitStructure.DMA_PeripheralBaseAddr = (uint32_t)ADC1_DR_Address;

  DMA_InitStructure.DMA_Memory0BaseAddr = (uint32_t)&ADC1ConveretedValue;

  DMA_InitStructure.DMA_DIR = DMA_DIR_PeripheralToMemory;

  DMA_InitStructure.DMA_BufferSize = 64;

  DMA_InitStructure.DMA_PeripheralInc = DMA_PeripheralInc_Disable;

  DMA_InitStructure.DMA_MemoryInc = DMA_MemoryInc_Disable;

  DMA_InitStructure.DMA_MemoryDataSize = DMA_MemoryDataSize_HalfWord;

  DMA_InitStructure.DMA_PeripheralBurst = DMA_PeripheralBurst_Single;

  DMA_Init(DMA2_Stream0, &DMA_InitStructure);

  /* DMA2_Stream0 enable */

  DMA_Cmd(DMA2_Stream0, ENABLE);

   ADC_DMACmd(ADC1, ENABLE);

  }

  ADC_InitStructure.ADC_ExternalTrigConv = ADC_ExternalTrigConv_T1_CC1; 

  ADC_InitStructure.ADC_DataAlign = ADC_DataAlign_Right;

  ADC_InitStructure.ADC_NbrOfConversion = 1;

  ADC_Init(ADC1, &ADC_InitStructure);

  ADC_RegularChannelConfig(ADC1,ADC_Channel_1,1,ADC_SampleTime_3Cycles);

}

int8_t ReadADC1(void)

{

  ADC_RegularChannelConfig(ADC1, ADC_Channel_3, 1, ADC_SampleTime_3Cycles);

   ADC_SoftwareStartConv(ADC1); // Wait until conversion completion

 return ADC_GetConversionValue(ADC1);  // Get the conversion value

 }

 else

 return ADC_TIMEOUT_ERROR;

}

int main(void)

  while(1)

}

    return 0;

}

int8_t ReadVoltage()

uint8_t ConvertedValue;

  return  ConvertedValue;

}

I cannot see any output from ADC.Could anyone pls let me know if anything is missed out or something wrong

3 Cycles is probably too quick to get a stable measurement.

Decide if you're using DMA or polling, DMA will copy values into the buffer defined for it, read the values in the buffer and convert the 12-bit value by scaling against VDDA (VREF).

The ADC will not be able to measure voltages that exceed VDDA

The ADC has a VBAT channel for the battery supply pin of the device.

Don't use 8-bit variables to pass 12/16-bit content.

Thanks Clive

I have changed sampling time to ADC_SampleTime_15Cycles.

I have decided to use DMA.

DMA will copy values into the buffer defined for it, read the values in the buffer 

  The buffer i have defined is ADC1ConveretedValue

DMA_InitStructure.DMA_Memory0BaseAddr = (uint32_t)&ADC1ConveretedValue;So i have to read this.

Please let me know if i am correct.

Could u pls tell me more about converting 12 bit value by scaling against VDDA.

Thanks

Well it's reading constantly into an array, you'd probably want

DMA_InitStructure.DMA_Memory0BaseAddr = (uint32_t)&ADC1ConveretedValue[0];

// For a 3.3V reference/supply something like

float voltage;

voltage = ((float)(ADC1ConvertedValue[0] & 0xFFF) * 3.3) / 4096.0;

int millivolts;

millivolts = ((int)(ADC1ConvertedValue[0] & 0xFFF) * 3300) >> 12;

Hi,

In the STM32F2 StdPeriph_Lib package, there is a similar example (VBAT_Measurement).

It takes into account that the VBAT pin is internally connected to a bridge divider by 2 to avoid exceeding VDDA (VBAT/2 connected to ADC1_IN18).

Cheers,
