ADC sequencer on STM32WL33

[RenzoPosega]

Hi all, 

I'm setting up a custom board using the STM32WL33 device. 

I'm using four single-ended ADC inputs: ADC_VINM0, ADC_VINP0, ADC_VINM3, ADC_VINP3.

I would like to use DMA and sequencer, adding TEMP and VDD as 5th and 6th conversions. 

I managed to got the above up and running, but: 

a) appears that ALL conversion is done on 3.6V conversion range, regardless of software setup and subsequent SWITCH register settings (which appears correctly set: 0x8282); using the below macro gives correct ADC_value => mV conversion: 

__HAL_ADC_CALC_DATA_TO_VOLTAGE(ADC_VIN_RANGE_3V6, adc[2], ADC_DS_DATA_WIDTH_12_BIT);

b) TEMP reading appears totally wrong. At ambient temp (30°C), ADC readings is around 726 (over 12 bits). If I readback calibration registers: 

uint32_t Calib_c30 = (int32_t)*TEMPSENSOR_C30_ADDR; // =2556

uint32_t TCK_c30 = (int32_t)*TEMPSENSOR_TCK_ADDR; // =300

and use RM0511 - chpt 12.2.1 formula, I get T[°C] = -153°C (!!!)

ADC register settings:

Finally, note that COMP_x registers are at default values.

And indeed, I didn't find any documentation about estimating COMP fields: OFFSET and GAIN;

it would be possible having a GND and VREF input capability, which I didn't find, either.

a) Conversion is done based on VREF+. It's a custom board, so you'll have to set this up correctly if you want a particular voltage.

b) Increase your sampling time to max. There is a minimum sampling duration on the temperature sensor which can be found in the datasheet.

Edit: Oh, the ADC on here is completely different from other STM32 chips. Sorry for the noise. Possibly still something to the second point.

Thank you for your prompt reply. 

Nevertheless, the documentation I have (RM0511 and STM32WL33 datasheet) does not reference VREF+. 

I just found in a design example the correct usage of the calibration points (code snippet here below for anyone having the same issue), which acting on gain, must be set accordingly to full scale range (1.2V, 2.4V or 3.6V) for each input.

Please note, however, that the definition of ADC_CALIB_NONE is wrong in stm32wl3x_hal_adc.h file generated by STMCubeMX, preventing the use of ADC_CALIB_POINT_4:

#define ADC_CALIB_POINT_1 (LL_ADC_CALIB_POINT_1) /*!< ADC calibration point 1 */

#define ADC_CALIB_POINT_2 (LL_ADC_CALIB_POINT_2) /*!< ADC calibration point 2 */

#define ADC_CALIB_POINT_3 (LL_ADC_CALIB_POINT_3) /*!< ADC calibration point 3 */

#define ADC_CALIB_POINT_4 (LL_ADC_CALIB_POINT_4) /*!< ADC calibration point 4 */

//#define ADC_CALIB_NONE (LL_ADC_CALIB_POINT_1 \

// | LL_ADC_CALIB_POINT_2 \

// | LL_ADC_CALIB_POINT_3 \

// | LL_ADC_CALIB_POINT_4) /*!< ADC calibration point disabled: correction are left untouched

// for the selected channel */



// RPO: above definition is wrong, being equal to ADC_CALIB_POINT_4

#define ADC_CALIB_NONE 4
