In �?y ADC, I use __IO uint32_t uhADCxConvertedValue, but the re�?ding ch�?nge r�?�?dily even th�?ugh the re�?l v�?lt�?ge d�?es n�?t ch�?nge, which is �?.854�?�?.855.

Ple�?se hel�?

Sample it slower, and less frequently. Reduce the ADC clock, increase the sample time.

Dear Clive 1

I am using STM32Cube_FW_F4_V1.1.0\Projects\STM32F429I-Discovery\Examples\ADC\ADC_RegularConversion_DMA

How to change frequently and  sample time?

Thanks

The example uses ADC3 channel 8 on PF10. On the 429 Disco this pin is dedicated to LCD Enable, with a 4.7K pull down resister. Did you modify the example to use one of the 3 freely available ADC channels ?

Thanks for help.

I change ADC3 channel 8 to PC3. I feel something wrong here.

The voltage being monitored is around 1.4v, but once connect with PC3, the voltage drop to to 0.8v.

How to fix it?

Thanks

How to fix it?

Use an OpAmp, or otherwise figure out why your signal is incapable of providing sufficient current into the unbuffered input.
