STM32G0B1V issue with ADC measurements
I am having issues with the STM32G0 ADC measurements. I am trying to measure 2 voltages:
1. 3.3V
2. 12V
After the voltage divider, the 3.3_adc and 12v adc pins are connected to the MCU pins directly:
3.3_adc - PA3 (ADC1_IN3)
12v adc - PA7 (ADC1_IN7)
My STM32CubeMX configuration for the ADC is as following:
VREFBUF Mode is configured as External voltage reference:
Because we have 2.5V connected to the VREF+ pin of the MCU and we want to use it as the ADC Reference Voltage, see the schematic below:
I have measured the voltages with the Multimeter on VREF+, +3.3V and +12V, and all of them are correct and as expected. I have also measured the voltages using multimeter after the Voltage divider and I measure as following:
3.3_adc - 0.275V (if I apply voltage divider, I get 3.3V precisely)
12v adc - 0.508 (if I apply voltage divider, I get about 11.6V. This is expected voltage on this pin as it has some diode connected on this line hence its not actually +12V)
My code is as following:

I cannot wrap my head around what could be the issue.
I have double checked the actual voltages on the 3.3V and 12V before and after voltage divider and they are CORRECT.
I have double checked the actual voltage on the VREF+ pin and it is precisely 2.5V
So there should not be any Hardware related faults, so it must be the configuration issue in the code but I cannot figure out what it could be. I would appreciate if someone could help me with this issue and point me in the right direction what else I can do to debug this.
