Strange, I never experienced such behavior, and use it for motor control task => you'd simply hear it, if it's misplaced. Can you check with scope, that you have no spikes on the ADC input, like dirt in the pot?

Use DMA to store data into a circular buffer and stop it when you get the AWD flag set, you should see the data record.

Hi edison,

I already use DMA for ADC, and I observed read values. The're not 0 when the AWD triggers (and even if they were, I'd expect AWD not triggering, because the reference manual says below low threshold). I'll check with oscilloscope asap, but I can't imagine what kind of spike could cause this, if the low threshold is 0... Thanks

Edison,

I verified with oscilloscopre that there are not strange spikes. However, I was wrong when I said that the AWD triggers when approaching to 0, I was erroneously reading another channel value. The AWD is always set, even after an ADC_ClearFlag (ADC1, ADC_FLAG_AWD) call and even if the channel value is between 0 and high threshold. The flag is raised as soon the ADC is turned with ADC_SoftwareStartConvCmd(ADC1, ENABLE) call. Mybe there's something wrong with my initialization sequence ? The complete sequence, including DMA, is the following:

DMA_InitTypeDef DMA_InitStructure;

ADC_InitTypeDef  ADC_InitStructure;

//DMA configuration

DMA_DeInit(DMA1_Channel1); DMA_InitStructure.DMA_PeripheralBaseAddr = (uint32_t)&(ADC1->DR); DMA_InitStructure.DMA_MemoryBaseAddr = (uint32_t)(&Sensors.m_ADC_Sensors); DMA_InitStructure.DMA_DIR = DMA_DIR_PeripheralSRC; DMA_InitStructure.DMA_BufferSize = 5; DMA_InitStructure.DMA_PeripheralInc = DMA_PeripheralInc_Disable; DMA_InitStructure.DMA_MemoryInc = DMA_MemoryInc_Enable; DMA_InitStructure.DMA_PeripheralDataSize = DMA_PeripheralDataSize_HalfWord; DMA_InitStructure.DMA_MemoryDataSize = DMA_MemoryDataSize_HalfWord; DMA_InitStructure.DMA_Mode = DMA_Mode_Circular; DMA_InitStructure.DMA_Priority = DMA_Priority_High; DMA_InitStructure.DMA_M2M = DMA_M2M_Disable; DMA_Init(D_DMA_ADC_CHANNEL, &DMA_InitStructure); //ADC configuration ADC_DeInit(D_ADC_SENSORS); RCC_ADCCLKConfig(RCC_PCLK2_Div4); //12MHz ADC_InitStructure.ADC_ContinuousConvMode = ENABLE; ADC_InitStructure.ADC_DataAlign    = ADC_DataAlign_Right; ADC_InitStructure.ADC_ExternalTrigConv  = ADC_ExternalTrigConv_None; ADC_InitStructure.ADC_Mode = ADC_Mode_Independent; ADC_InitStructure.ADC_NbrOfChannel = 5; ADC_InitStructure.ADC_ScanConvMode = ENABLE; ADC_Init(ADC1, &ADC_InitStructure);

ADC_RegularChannelConfig(ADC1, ADC_Channel_0, 1, ADC_SampleTime_13Cycles5);

ADC_RegularChannelConfig(ADC1, ADC_Channel_1, 2, ADC_SampleTime_13Cycles5);   ADC_RegularChannelConfig(ADC1, ADC_Channel_2, 3, ADC_SampleTime_13Cycles5); ADC_RegularChannelConfig(ADC1, ADC_Channel_3, 4, ADC_SampleTime_13Cycles5); ADC_RegularChannelConfig(ADC1, ADC_Channel_4, 5, ADC_SampleTime_13Cycles5); ADC_RegularChannelConfig(ADC1, ADC_Channel_5, 6, ADC_SampleTime_13Cycles5); //Enable D_ADC_SENSORS ADC_Cmd(ADC1, ENABLE);

//Enable D_ADC_SENSORS reset calibration register

ADC_ResetCalibration(ADC1); //Check the end of D_ADC_SENSORS reset calibration register while(ADC_GetResetCalibrationStatus(ADC1));   //Start ADC1 calibaration ADC_StartCalibration(ADC1); //Check the end of ADC1 calibration while(ADC_GetCalibrationStatus(ADC1));

#ifdef USE_AWD

    ADC_AnalogWatchdogThresholdsConfig(ADC1, high, 0);     ADC_AnalogWatchdogSingleChannelConfig(ADC1, ADC_Channel_5);     ADC_ClearFlag(ADC1, ADC_FLAG_AWD);     ADC_AnalogWatchdogCmd(ADC1, ADC_AnalogWatchdog_SingleRegEnable); #endif //Enable ADC-DMA ADC_DMACmd(ADC1, ENABLE); //Enable DMA channel 1 DMA_Cmd(DMA1_Channel1, ENABLE); //Start ADC1 Software Conversion  ADC_SoftwareStartConvCmd(ADC1, ENABLE); Edited: initialization sequence updated (DMA activation moved after ADC calibraton, ADC_DeInit added). The problem remains, the AWD flag is actvated as soon as the ADC_SoftwareStartConvCmd call is done, and will not go away, even if the channel value is BETWEEN low and high threshold.

Hello,

I am facing similar issue. Analog watchdog flag in ADc1->SR never gets clear ,even it is written zero by software.Only ADC disable clears the flag. AWD behaviour is not as per defined in reference manual.
