How to get the best ADC accuracy

3.4

High impedance source measurement

This section describes the ADC measurement behavior of STM32x ADC when a signal

source with high internal impedance is used. It explains how to design an application to

reach the requested precision and provides workarounds.

3.4.1

ADC input stage problem

The ADC in STM32x devices is a switched-capacitor ADC type. Switched capacitors work

also as sampling capacitors (see Section 1.1 for a detailed explanation).

When a signal comes from a voltage source with high internal impedance (for instance,

150 k

), an added error can be seen in measurement results. Error signals have also been

observed on the ADC input pin, as shown in Figure 33 (if the voltage source has zero

voltage: Uin = 0 V, Rin = 150 k, Cext = 0 pF):
