trigger adc after counter is reached

Hello there,

I was wondering either in STM32F4 it is possible, to get a similar functionality to C2000 one, that can trigger an ADC conversion after certain counter valueon a timer is reached, like here:

(point CA, middle).

In stm34f4 I am using center aligned pwm mode. I can trigger ADC each time timer starts counting up/down or both. But I need to trigger the adc when the counter is halfway down or up. Is there a way to do this?

I would appreciate all help.

Hi Bremen, 

In fact those are the capture/compare events (occurs when there is a match between CCRx and counter value) and I am talking about the update event ( which occurs on the counter overflow). So if you take a look to the table of ADC external trigger , you find both ( TIMx_CHx_envent and TIMx-TRGO event ). The second will serve your need.

Please, try to apply the recommendations already mentioned and come back if it is not OK for you.

I am trying to make the configuration now. I am trying to enable TIM1 trgo to trigger and injected channel conversion, but It doesnt seem to work (injected channel conversion interrupt is not triggered). Are there any other considerations taht has to be taken when using injected channel?

Hi Bremen,

Please, try to share your code (Timer configuration , ADC configuration ..clock ..) to figure out what you have missed.
