ADC accuracy after STOP2 wakeup

[npatil15]

Hello,

I'm using LPTIMR1 to wake up from STOP2 mode and then use ADC to read battery voltage range from 10 - 15 V. The wakeup to use ADC is random as per user input (in seconds, minutes or hours).

static void MX_ADC1_Init(void)
{
 ADC_ChannelConfTypeDef sConfig = {0};
 hadc1.Instance = ADC1;
 hadc1.Init.ClockPrescaler = ADC_CLOCK_ASYNC_DIV4;
 hadc1.Init.Resolution = ADC_RESOLUTION_12B;
 hadc1.Init.DataAlign = ADC_DATAALIGN_RIGHT;
 hadc1.Init.ScanConvMode = ADC_SCAN_DISABLE;
 hadc1.Init.EOCSelection = ADC_EOC_SINGLE_CONV;
 hadc1.Init.LowPowerAutoWait = ENABLE;
 hadc1.Init.LowPowerAutoPowerOff = ENABLE;
 hadc1.Init.ContinuousConvMode = DISABLE;
 hadc1.Init.NbrOfConversion = 1;
 hadc1.Init.DiscontinuousConvMode = DISABLE;
 hadc1.Init.ExternalTrigConv = ADC_SOFTWARE_START;
 hadc1.Init.ExternalTrigConvEdge = ADC_EXTERNALTRIGCONVEDGE_NONE;
 hadc1.Init.DMAContinuousRequests = DISABLE;
 hadc1.Init.Overrun = ADC_OVR_DATA_OVERWRITTEN;
 hadc1.Init.SamplingTimeCommon1 = ADC_SAMPLETIME_79CYCLES_5;
 hadc1.Init.SamplingTimeCommon2 = ADC_SAMPLETIME_79CYCLES_5;
 hadc1.Init.OversamplingMode = DISABLE;
 hadc1.Init.TriggerFrequencyMode = ADC_TRIGGER_FREQ_HIGH;
 if (HAL_ADC_Init(&hadc1) != HAL_OK)
 {
 Error_Handler();
 }
 sConfig.Channel = ADC_CHANNEL_4;
 sConfig.Rank = ADC_REGULAR_RANK_1;
 sConfig.SamplingTime = ADC_SAMPLINGTIME_COMMON_1;
 if (HAL_ADC_ConfigChannel(&hadc1, &sConfig) != HAL_OK)
 {
 Error_Handler();
 }
}

 

And once LPTIMR wakeup, I do this to re-init and re-calibrate ADC

 ReInit_ADC1();
 HAL_StatusTypeDef status = HAL_ADCEx_Calibration_Start(&hadc1);
 if(status)
 {
 //Log error
 }

 HAL_ADC_Start_IT(&hadc1);

And it works fine, no error.

It has accuracy of +-50v, sometimes it looks stable and then in between get (+-) spike of 50mv. I have already calibrate using lookup table, along with averaging or mean techniques. 

1. Does it is mandatory to re-init ADC every time?

2. Does it have inbuild function to stable the result, as I need this accuracy to +-10mv

Give me any solution which has discussed or available to refer.

Thanks,

Nitin

Hi @npatil15, 

>>1. Does it is mandatory to re-init ADC every time?

Yes, the ADC is powered off in STOP2 mode (check table 22 in RM), however, re-calibration is not necessary unless the calibration factor is lost (e.g., due to ADC power-off or Standby mode) 

>>Does it have inbuild function to stable the result, as I need this accuracy to +-10mv

You can try to implement an analog watchdog to monitor converted voltages and can generate interrupts when values fall outside programmed thresholds. 

Could you specify if this is a custom board or not?
