Why are 3 ADC pins configured in 6-step BLDC SDK, but only Channel 13 is used in injected mode?

Hi everyone,

I'm working with the STM32F446RE and exploring the 6-step BLDC motor control example provided by the STM32 Motor Control SDK. In the CubeMX configuration of the firmware:

  • 3 GPIOs are configured as analog inputs:

    • M1_BEMF_U → PC3 → ADC1_IN13

    • M1_BEMF_V → PA7 → ADC1_IN7

    • M1_BEMF_W → PB0 → ADC1_IN8

However, in the ADC Injected Conversion Mode, only Channel 13 (PC3) is selected and used (1 injected conversion configured).
See image below for reference:

My question is:

Why are all 3 BEMF pins configured in CubeMX if only Channel 13 is used in the ADC injected group?

I expected that all 3 channels would be used in the injected sequence to sample U, V, and W BEMF voltages.

Do they dynamically change the injected channel in code depending on the commutation step? Or is there another reason for this configuration?

Thanks in advance for any clarification!
