STM32F411 - temperature sensor returning 0

In 'F407, temperature sensor is in ADC channel 16.

 [EDIT] Sorry, I made an error - you are using 'F411 rather than 'F407. I don't have 'F411 at hand at the moment. RM0383 is relatively messy when it comes to the temperature sensor; it appears it can be read from both CH16 and CH18 (with CH18 being shared with VBAT). Try perhaps both. [/EDIT]

I rewrote your code to correct this error, also systematically use symbols from CMSIS-mandated device header, and it works as expected:

volatile uint32_t tt;
 
 int main(void) {
 
 // Configure ADC module ADC1_IN18 channel
 // Enable Clock access
 RCC->APB2ENR |= RCC_APB2ENR_ADC1EN;
 //10010 =18
 ADC1->SQR3 |= 16; // in 'F407, temperature sensor is CH16
 //conversion length 1 channels
 ADC1->SQR1 = 0x00;
 // TEMP sensor enable
 ADC->CCR |=ADC_CCR_TSVREFE;
 // Enable ADC module
 ADC1->CR2 |=ADC_CR2_ADON;
 
 // Enable continues conversion
 ADC1->CR2 |= ADC_CR2_CONT; // C2_CONT;
 // Start ADC conversion
 ADC1->CR2 |= ADC_CR2_SWSTART; // C2_SWSTART;
 
 while(1) {
 //Wait for conversion to complete
 while(!(ADC1->SR & ADC_SR_EOC)){};
 tt = ADC1->DR;
 }
}

(gdb) p tt
$5 = 942
(gdb)
$6 = 856
(gdb)
$7 = 948
(gdb)
$8 = 937
(gdb)

Output is rather noisy (this was run on a board which does not have VDDA/VREF+ well filtered), but note, that among other things like properly setting up clocks, you may need to set the sampling time according to datasheet requirements for the temperature sensor.

Thank you very much for your reply.

From the refrence manual "Temperature sensor, VREFINT and VBAT internal channels • The temperature sensor is internally connected to ADC1_IN18 channel which is shared with VBAT."

To use the sensor:

3. Select ADC1_IN16 or ADC1_IN18 input channel.

4. Select a sampling time greater than the minimum sampling time specified in the datasheet.

5. Set the TSVREFE bit in the ADC_CCR register to wake up the temperature sensor from power down mode

6. Start the ADC conversion by setting the SWSTART bit (or by external trigger)

7. Read the resulting VSENSE data in the ADC data register 

It seems that I did everything according to the guide ,even I changed the selected channel to 18 , but still receving 0...

void temp_init()

{

// Configure ADC module ADC1_IN16 channel

// Enable Clock access

RCC->APB2ENR |= RCC_APB2ENR_ADC1EN;

//10010 =18

ADC1->SQR3 |=18;

//conversion length 1 channels

ADC1->SQR1 = 0x00;

// TEMP sensor enable

  ADC->CCR |=ADC_CCR_TSVREFE;

// Enable ADC module

ADC1->CR2 |=ADC_CR2_ADON;

}

Try CH16.

Also, if you have non-1 APB prescaler, try inserting some delay between setting clock in RCC and setting the ADC registers.

If you have debugger, read out and check the ADC registers content.

Unfortunately nothing new... I tested another channel (GPIO PA1) and it worked well.

I've just tried the code I've posted on a Nucleo-F411 and it works as expected, with both CH16 (as posted) and CH18.

Are you sure you are using a genuine STM32F411, and not a clone?
