Application note

STM32F30x ADC modes and application

Introduction

This application note presents an overview of the ADC peripherals in the STM32F30x

microcontroller families, and explains how to use the various modes and specific features of

the ADC. Its purpose is to help ADC users to understand the advanced modes offered in

STM32 microcontrollers, and to quick start development.

This document is divided into three sections:

• Section 1: Comparison between ADC F1 family and F3 family describes a brief

comparison between the two ADCs of STM32 F1 and F3 family.

• Section 2: Independent modes describes modes used with a single ADC.

• Section 3: Dual modes describes modes that should be used with two ADCs (ADC1 and

ADC2, or ADC3 and ADC4 working jointly).

Each mode described in these sections is provided with a typical configuration procedure to

help understand how to use it.

Note:

This application note does not describe the dual combined modes.
