Posted on July 02, 2014 at 17:31Hello there,
I've been having trouble with the STM32L1 ADC when using it with the DMA with high sample rates.
Generally speaking, if I trigger the ADC conversion externally using a timer, I can achieve a sampling rate of about 500kHz without getting into trouble. If I configure the timer to trigger the ADC at higher rates, I'll get overrun errors. I can imagine this making sense as the manual states:
The interval between trigger events must be longer than the sequence for regular conversions. So, to achieve the maximum stated sampling rate of 1MHz I tried to configure the ADC to convert continuously by setting the CONT bit. But as soon as the first conversion completes, an overrun error is reported. The same happens in SCAN mode which I plan to use for conversion of a limited amount of samples.
Does anyone have any idea as to what could be wrong? As far as I see, the HSI is running and none of the Buses have any prescaler configured. I'm sure I'm overlooking something trivial.
Here are the relevant portions of the code:
(note that I use IAR without the stdPeripheralLibrary, so the registers are addressed with this REGNAME_bit.BITNAME syntax)
startConversion()

if (!ADC_SR_bit.ADONS)
{
/* ADC not running; power up the adc module */
ADC_CR2_bit.ADON = 1;
while (!ADC_SR_bit.ADONS)
{
/* wait until the adc is ready */
}
}
while (ADC_SR_bit.RCNR);
{
/* Wait for regular channel ready */
}
IO_SET_OUTPUT_F(IO_SWT_PULL_UP, 1);
ADC_CR2_bit.SWSTART = 1;
}
