STM8 Tutorials #4 - ADC Interfacing
— August 14, 2016This is 4th tutorial for STM8 Microcontrollers. This post will give you a basic idea on using STM8 internal ADC.
All STM8 family devices feature 10/12 bit ADC as peripheral. ADC can be used in single or continuous conversion mode. This example code is tested on STM8S003F3P6 and STM8S105C6T6 controller but ideally it should work for every STM8 controller.
Experiment description
Schematic below shows the connections that I made in order to test the working of ADC peripheral. I wrote a simple code to change the LED blinking frequency according to the analog voltage input at Analog Channel 3 (PD2) of STM8S000F3P6. LED is connected to PD3 in source mode.
Code
#include "stm8s.h"
void myDelay(unsigned int value)
{
unsigned int i,j;
for(i=0;i<1000;i++)
{
for(j=0;j<value;j++);
}
}
void GPIO_Config(void)
{
GPIOD->DDR |= 1<<3; //PD.3 as output
GPIOD->CR1 |= 1<<3; //push pull output
}
unsigned int readADC1(unsigned int channel)
{
unsigned int val=0;
//using ADC in single conversion mode
ADC1->CSR |= ((0x0F)&channel); // select channel
ADC1->CR2 |= (1<<3); // Right Aligned Data
ADC1->CR1 |= (1<<0); // ADC ON
ADC1->CR1 |= (1<<0); // ADC Start Conversion
while(((ADC1->CSR)&(1<<7))== 0); // Wait till EOC
val |= (unsigned int)ADC1->DRL;
val |= (unsigned int)ADC1->DRH<<8;
ADC1->CR1 &= ~(1<<0); // ADC Stop Conversion
val &= 0x03ff;
return (val);
}
int main(void)
{
unsigned int stepNos;
GPIO_Config();
while(1)
{
stepNos=readADC1(3);
GPIOD->ODR |= (1<<); // PD.0 = 1, LED ON
myDelay(stepNos);
GPIOD->ODR &= ~(1<<3); // PD.0 = 0, LED Off
myDelay(stepNos);
}
}

Namaste Devesh,
What compiler are you using for this example?
regards…
Namaskar,
I am using STVD with Cosmic C compiler for this example.
Hi Devesh,
Great to see a tut on STM8 ADC! I am using STM8L051F3 (TSSOP20 Pkg) & I am having trouble understanding the reference voltage selection & usage behavior for the ADC.
Usually the ADC is configured to use either of AVCC, External Vref or Internal Vref. In STM8L051F3, Vref+ pin is physically AVCC pin so Vref+ is always AVCC. It also has an internal VREFINT = ~1.224V, but I see it can be used only as an ADC channel as VREFINT is only an input to the analog mux inside the ADC, so in my opinion it is not being used in the conventional sense.
I have a signal in 50 - 1000mV range which I want to measure. How can I use the VREFINT as the analog reference voltage so that the dynamic range is utilized? Can’t use amplifiers here.
Hello how can i use standart lib functions.
When i was trying use them ;
Running Linker
clnk -m Debug\blink.map -l”C:\Program Files (x86)\COSMIC\CXSTM8_EVAL\Lib” -o Debug\blink.sm8 Debug\blink.lkf
#error clnk Debug\blink.lkf:1 symbol _CLK_DeInit not defined (Debug\main.o )
#error clnk Debug\blink.lkf:1 symbol _CLK_HSIPrescalerConfig not defined (Debug\main.o )
#error clnk Debug\blink.lkf:1 symbol _CLK_CCOConfig not defined (Debug\main.o )
The command: “clnk -m Debug\blink.map -l”C:\Program Files (x86)\COSMIC\CXSTM8_EVAL\Lib” -o Debug\blink.sm8 Debug\blink.lkf ” has failed, the returned value is: 1
exit code=1.
blink.elf - 5 error(s), 0 warning(s)
When I am trying to upload simple gpio code I am getting the following error
Failed to set configuration with MCU name STM8S003F3: SWIM error [30006]: Comm init error: chip does not answer
Can you please help me
When I am trying with the above still I am getting following error
Failed to set configuration with MCU name STM8S003F3: SWIM error [30006]: Comm init error: chip does not answer
Can you please help me
Can any one explain that the above ADC program. I cant understand the word stepnos, values, DRL,DRH and also why it is used please. Quikly.
