Problem with ADC: channel affected by another + trouble with type conv

Hello,

I'm using IAR embedded Workbench for ARM 6.30 kickstart to program a STM32F4 DISCOVERY microcontroler.

I have two problem with ADCs:

- I use two ADC channels (12 & 14) based on the same ADC (ADC2) to 8-bits digitizing two potentiometers output voltages. The trouble is, when I change the first potentiometer value, it's affects the second potentiometer digital value.

- The strangest problem: sometimes when I run my project on the STM32 with the "Make and Restart Debugger" button, with NO CHANGES in my code, the ADC behavior can change: instead of being digitized on 8-bit (0 to 255), potentiometers values will be digitized on 6-bits (0 to 63) or on 16-bits (0 to 65535), I can see it on the watch !! What is the problem with IAR ?

Thanks for your help ! I work on this problem for 2 weeks...

Jean

Re: Problem with ADC: channel affected by another + trouble with type conv

I also have seen this problem. I suppose, it's due to nature of ADC - charge balance. If you use too short ADC_SampleTime_3Cycles, high R, and change channels fast, the capacitors of ADC just cannot charge enough.
So try using at least ADC_SampleTime_192Cycles (?) or even 253.

Good luck!
