Electronic – STM32F407 – ADC in Scan mode setting overrun bit

adchal-librarystm32

I want to read 4 ADC channels in continuous scan mode.

I am using ADC interrupt to read from the ADC data register.

Here is my initialization:

  hadc3.Init.ClockPrescaler = ADC_CLOCK_SYNC_PCLK_DIV2;
  hadc3.Init.Resolution = ADC_RESOLUTION_12B;
  hadc3.Init.ScanConvMode = ENABLE;
  hadc3.Init.ContinuousConvMode = ENABLE;
  hadc3.Init.DiscontinuousConvMode = DISABLE;
  hadc3.Init.ExternalTrigConvEdge = 
  ADC_EXTERNALTRIGCONVEDGE_NONE;
  hadc3.Init.ExternalTrigConv = ADC_SOFTWARE_START;
  hadc3.Init.DataAlign = ADC_DATAALIGN_RIGHT;
  hadc3.Init.NbrOfConversion = 4;
  hadc3.Init.DMAContinuousRequests = DISABLE;
  hadc3.Init.EOCSelection = ADC_EOC_SINGLE_CONV;

I have set a breakpoint in the interrupt handler.
As soon as I start debugging, the execution goes into the interrupt handler and the OVR bit is found to be set in the status register.

To proceed with the normal execution I have to re-trigger the ADC via this line of code:

void HAL_ADC_ErrorCallback(ADC_HandleTypeDef* hadc)
{
    hadc->Instance->CR2 |= (uint32_t)ADC_CR2_SWSTART;
}

in the ErrorCallback() function.

The readings are coming fine but I cannot understand why the overrun bit is set at every cycle of conversion.

I have same problem with my stm32f405. I find next text in errata :

When a software start of conversion is used as an ADC trigger, and if the ADC_SQRx or ADC_JSQRx registers are modified during the conversion, the current conversion is reset and the ADC does not automatically restart the new conversion sequence. The hardware start of conversion trigger is not impacted and the ADC automatically restarts the new sequence when the next hardware trigger occurs.

I think u solved this problem how ST-designers advised.
