Unexpected readings (2X or 0.5X) using ADC on STM32F0

I'm using the ADC on a STM32F072RBT6 to read a constant voltage that is derived from my supply voltage. Sometimes, I get a reading that is twice the expected value, and sometimes I get a reading that is half the expected value. The following data shows this problem:

... t 70210 v 46 ref 1228 t 70220 v 47 ref 1228 t 70230 v 89 ref 1229 <-- unexpected reading (2x) t 70240 v 45 ref 1228 t 70250 v 47 ref 1228 t 70260 v 49 ref 1228 t 70270 v 45 ref 1229 t 70280 v 49 ref 1229 t 70290 v 41 ref 1228 t 70300 v 48 ref 1228 t 70310 v 24 ref 1229<-- unexpected reading (0.5x) t 70310 v 47 ref 1228 t 70320 v 48 ref 1229 t 70330 v 48 ref 1228 t 70340 v 47 ref 1228

...

The expected value of v is about Does any know of anything related to the STM32F0 that might cause this problem? It seems like the SAR sometimes is off by one comparison. But the ref voltage doesn't show the problem. My ADC init code is shown below. TIA, Osman

I'd probably make the buffer a bit bigger so the DMA didn't walk over the values I was working with. And I'd probably do the casting more appropriately.
