Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)
In this chapter, we will learn about the analog-to-digital converter (ADC), an important peripheral in embedded systems that enables the microcontroller to interface with the analog world. We will start by providing an overview of the analog-to-digital conversion process, the importance of the ADC, and its key specifications.
Following this, we will extract and analyze the relevant registers from the STM32F411 reference manual that are necessary for ADC operations. Finally, we will develop a bare-metal ADC driver to demonstrate the practical application of the theoretical concepts we’ve discussed.
In this chapter, we’re going to cover the following main topics:
- Overview of analog-to-digital conversion
- The STM32F4 ADC peripheral
- The key ADC registers and flags
- Developing the ADC driver
By the end of this chapter, you will have a comprehensive understanding of the STM32 ADC peripheral and the skills necessary...
