Analog-to-digital converter (ADC) RM0090
11.9.3 Interleaved mode
This mode can be started only on a regular group (usually one channel). The external
trigger source comes from the regular channel multiplexer of ADC1.
Dual ADC mode
After an external trigger occurs:
● ADC1 starts immediately
● ADC2 starts after a delay of several ADC clock cycles
The minimum delay which separates 2 conversions in interleaved mode is configured in the
DELAY bits in the ADC_CCR register. However, an ADC cannot start a conversion if the
complementary ADC is still sampling its input (only one ADC can sample the input signal at
a given time). In this case, the delay becomes the sampling time + 2 ADC clock cycles. For
instance, if DELAY = 5 clock cycles and the sampling takes 15 clock cycles on both ADCs,
then 17 clock cycles will separate conversions on ADC1 and ADC2).
If the CONT bit is set on both ADC1 and ADC2, the selected regular channels of both ADCs
are continuously converted.
After an EOC interrupt is generated by ADC2 (if enabled through the EOCIE bit) a 32-bit
DMA transfer request is generated (if the DMA[1:0] bits in ADC_CCR are equal to 0b10).
This request first transfers the ADC2 converted data stored in the upper half-word of the
ADC_CDR 32-bit register into SRAM, then the ADC1 converted data stored in the register’s
lower half-word into SRAM.

Triple ADC mode
After an external trigger occurs:
● ADC1 starts immediately and
● ADC2 starts after a delay of several ADC clock cycles
● ADC3 starts after a delay of several ADC clock cycles referred to the ADC2 conversion
The minimum delay which separates 2 conversions in interleaved mode is configured in the
DELAY bits in the ADC_CCR register. However, an ADC cannot start a conversion if the
complementary ADC is still sampling its input (only one ADC can sample the input signal at
a given time). In this case, the delay becomes the sampling time + 2 ADC clock cycles. For
instance, if DELAY = 5 clock cycles and the sampling takes 15 clock cycles on the three
ADCs, then 17 clock cycles will separate the conversions on ADC1, ADC2 and ADC3).
