STM32H743 Dual mode ADC in 8 bit resolution

Hi Experts!

 

Summary: 

Question: Anyone know if the dual 8bit ADC mode is broken on the STM32H743 or what I could be doing wrong?

Details:

I am trying to get 8 bit dual mode ADC working on the STM32H743. 

I see one post on here that seems to indicate some inconsistency with the documentation 

https://community.st.com/t5/stm32-mcus-products/stm32h7-adc-8-bit-dual-mode-with-damdf-0b11-is-ambiguous-in/m-p/236582

However what I am seeing is something really wierd... 

Just as background - I am able to get the 16 bit dual mode working just fine using the below setup for ADC1 & ADC2 (Channel 3 on ADC1 and Channel 4 on ADC2) - I am using circular mode DMA...

{

/* USER CODE BEGIN ADC1_Init 0 */

/* USER CODE END ADC1_Init 0 */

/* USER CODE BEGIN ADC1_Init 1 */

/* USER CODE END ADC1_Init 1 */

hadc1.Instance = ADC1;

hadc1.Init.ExternalTrigConvEdge = ADC_EXTERNALTRIGCONVEDGE_RISINGFALLING;
hadc1.Init.ConversionDataManagement = ADC_CONVERSIONDATA_DMA_CIRCULAR;
hadc1.Init.Overrun = ADC_OVR_DATA_OVERWRITTEN;
hadc1.Init.LeftBitShift = ADC_LEFTBITSHIFT_NONE;
hadc1.Init.OversamplingMode = DISABLE;
if (HAL_ADC_Init(&hadc1) != HAL_OK)
{
Error_Handler();
}
/** Configure the ADC multi-mode

multimode.Mode = ADC_DUALMODE_REGSIMULT;

if (HAL_ADCEx_MultiModeConfigChannel(&hadc1, &multimode) != HAL_OK)
{
Error_Handler();
}

sConfig.SamplingTime = ADC_SAMPLETIME_1CYCLE_5;
sConfig.SingleDiff = ADC_SINGLE_ENDED;
sConfig.OffsetNumber = ADC_OFFSET_NONE;
sConfig.Offset = 0;
if (HAL_ADC_ConfigChannel(&hadc1, &sConfig) != HAL_OK)
{
Error_Handler();
}
/* USER CODE BEGIN ADC1_Init 2 */

/* USER CODE END ADC1_Init 2 */

}

{

  /* USER CODE BEGIN ADC2_Init 0 */

  /* USER CODE END ADC2_Init 0 */

  ADC_ChannelConfTypeDef sConfig = {0};

  /* USER CODE BEGIN ADC2_Init 1 */

  /* USER CODE END ADC2_Init 1 */
  /** Common config 
  */
  hadc2.Instance = ADC2;
	hadc2.Init=hadc1.Init;
  hadc2.Init.ClockPrescaler = ADC_CLOCK_ASYNC_DIV2;
  hadc2.Init.Resolution = ADC_RESOLUTION_16B;
  hadc2.Init.ScanConvMode = ADC_SCAN_DISABLE;
  hadc2.Init.EOCSelection = ADC_EOC_SINGLE_CONV;
  hadc2.Init.LowPowerAutoWait = DISABLE;
  hadc2.Init.ContinuousConvMode = DISABLE;
  hadc2.Init.NbrOfConversion = 1;
  hadc2.Init.DiscontinuousConvMode = DISABLE;
  hadc2.Init.ConversionDataManagement = ADC_CONVERSIONDATA_DMA_CIRCULAR;
  hadc2.Init.Overrun = ADC_OVR_DATA_OVERWRITTEN;
  hadc2.Init.LeftBitShift = ADC_LEFTBITSHIFT_NONE;
  hadc2.Init.OversamplingMode = DISABLE;
	hadc2.Init.ExternalTrigConv  = ADC_SOFTWARE_START;
  if (HAL_ADC_Init(&hadc2) != HAL_OK)
  {
    Error_Handler();
  }
  /** Configure Regular Channel 
  */
  sConfig.Channel = ADC_CHANNEL_4;
  sConfig.Rank = ADC_REGULAR_RANK_1;
  sConfig.SamplingTime = ADC_SAMPLETIME_1CYCLE_5;
  sConfig.SingleDiff = ADC_SINGLE_ENDED;
  sConfig.OffsetNumber = ADC_OFFSET_NONE;
  sConfig.Offset = 0;
  if (HAL_ADC_ConfigChannel(&hadc2, &sConfig) != HAL_OK)
  {
    Error_Handler();
  }
  /* USER CODE BEGIN ADC2_Init 2 */

  /* USER CODE END ADC2_Init 2 */

}

 

With the above config - I get the ADC Channel 3 data in CDR register bits [0..15] and ADC Channel 4 in CDR [15..32] - as expected.

I can scale it down to 8 bits, but if I can get down to 8 bit resolution it would be ideal - 

Per  RM0433 if I set DAMDF=0b11 (8 bit mode) I am supposed to get

And then the 1st DMA request would be generated.

However I never get the full word populated I only seem to get the lower 16 bits in CDR and the Slave channel appears to have junk.

 

There is an ADC errata https://www.st.com/resource/en/errata_sheet/es0392-stm32h742xig-stm32h743xig-stm32h750xb-stm32h753xi-device-errata-stmicroelectronics.pdf

That seems to mention

 It seems sort of related but the workaround did not fix anything.

Question: Anyone know if the 8bit ADC mode is broken on the STM32H743 or what I could be doing wrong?

Thanks for any and all help!
