STM32H723 ADC3 with VREF+ at 3 v

All:

We have a custom board with STM32H723 where VREF+ is set to 3 volts.

When I feed ADC3 input 2 with a value of 0 volts, I get 118 counts on the 12-bit ADC,

  1.48 volts gives 1385 counts, and 2.95 volts gives 2600 counts.

Earlier work with Nucleo board with STM32h723 had VREF+ set to 3.3 volts.

Same inputs: ADC3 input 2 with a value of 0 volts gives 12 counts on the 12-bit ADC,

   1.65 volts gives 2090 counts, and 3.3 volts gives 4075 counts.

I was expecting to see similar values when I switched from Nucleo to custom.

I am running  HAL_ADCEx_Calibration_Start( ) at power up.

The ADC is set up not to use DMA, so I send the following every 50 msec:

ADC_Select_Temperature();
HAL_ADC_Start(&hadc3);
HAL_ADC_PollForConversion(&hadc3, HAL_MAX_DELAY);
temp_value = HAL_ADC_GetValue(&hadc3);
HAL_ADC_Stop(&hadc3);

 Is there a setup step needed for change in VREF+ or should that be transparent?

Update:

Here is the setup code to get data from channel 2 (similar to the ADC setup for temperature).

/* Select input channel. */
ADC_Select_CH2( );
/* Start ADC */
HAL_ADC_Start(&hadc3);
/* wait for conversion to finish. */
HAL_ADC_PollForConversion(&hadc3, HAL_MAX_DELAY);
/* Get value */
adc_value = HAL_ADC_GetValue(&hadc3);
/* Stop ADC */
HAL_ADC_Stop(&hadc3);

 

Further update - when I changed the sample time from original (ADC3_SAMPLETIME_2CYCLES5) to higher values, the ADC value also changed. I have seen that ADC3_SAMPLETIME_247CYCLES5 works well, any higher sample times give no additional benefit.

Here is what I am seeing:

 Nucleo with 3.3 v VREF+                  

 4075 counts at 3.3 v (max)   [ideal 4095 counts]         

 2040 counts at 1.65 v           [ideal 2047 counts]

 12 counts    at 0v

 

Custom board with 3.0 v VREF+

3945 counts at 3.0 v (max)

1910 counts at 1.5 v

0 counts  at 0v

 

This is much closer to the ideal than I was originally seeing.
