STM32CubeMX bug: Wrong ADC resolution for STM32L476

[Kamil Duljas]

Hi,

I notice that CubeMx allow choose 16-bit resolution but STM32L476 has range from 6 to 12 bit.

 

When I generate code I can't compile it:

Moreover in datasheet we read on page 1:

 

but it's only one information about mystic 16-bit resolution :D

Well, we are talking about a 12-bit ADC with hardware oversampling.

In the generated code you will find at the very bottom: hadc1.Init.OversamplingMode = DISABLE;, which is set by the CubeMX setting in "ADC_Regular_ConversionMode". You will get 16bit oversampling when enabled.

Does it answer your question?

Regards

I don't think so. CubeMx should not generate code that you can't compile it​

[Peter BENSCH]

What does the ability to compile have to do with 16-bit oversampling?

Can't you compile the code?

Do you know how 16-bit oversampling works?

Pleas look at my first post. CubeMx generate ADC_RESOLUTION_16B that not exist in ADC header for this board .

Oh, sorry, I hadn't read the post carefully enough. You are right, the option ADC_RESOLUTION_16B must not appear or be selectable here.

Thank you for your contribution!
