ADC Example
Source code path: example\hal\adc\multichannel
Supported Platforms
The example can run on the following development boards
sf32lb52-lcd_n16r8
Overview
Use HAL unified calibration interface for single-channel ADC or DMA six-channel sampling demonstration (single-channel mode triggers one conversion by default)
Example Usage
Compilation and Programming
The demonstration code defaults to single-channel ADC sampling (trigger one conversion and print after startup). If you want to run the DMA six-channel demonstration, please enable the macro in main.c under the project path:
#define BSP_GPADC_USING_DMA 1
Switch to the example project directory and run the scons command to compile:
scons –board=sf32lb52-lcd_n16r8 -j8
Switch to the example project/build_xx directory and run uart_download.bat, select the port as prompted to download:
build_sf32lb52-lcd_n16r8_hcpu\uart_download.bat
Uart Download
please input the serial port num:5
Hardware Connection
PA28 is the fixed output IO for ADC1 Channel 0 (DMA six-channel demonstration uses PA28-PA33, not marked here)

ADC Configuration Flow
Set the corresponding ADC IO port (single-channel ADC mode)
/* 52 chip default channel 0 is PA28, set PA28 to analog input mode, disable internal pull-up/pull-down */
HAL_PIN_Set_Analog(PAD_PA28, 1);
Set the corresponding ADC IO ports (DMA six-channel mode)
/* 52 chip demonstration uses channels 0-5, all configured as analog input mode, disable internal pull-up/pull-down */
HAL_PIN_Set_Analog(PAD_PA28, 1); /* channel 0 */
HAL_PIN_Set_Analog(PAD_PA29, 1);
HAL_PIN_Set_Analog(PAD_PA30, 1);
HAL_PIN_Set_Analog(PAD_PA31, 1);
HAL_PIN_Set_Analog(PAD_PA32, 1);
HAL_PIN_Set_Analog(PAD_PA33, 1); /* channel 5 */
Note:
ADC input ports are fixed IO ports, as shown in the following diagram:
52 chip ADC CH1-7 distribution, corresponding to software configured Channel0-6. The last channel CH8 (Channel 7) is internally connected to battery Vbat detection and not mapped to external IO

HAL_PIN_SetHAL_PIN_Set_Analoglast parameter is for hcpu/lcpu selection, 1: select hcpu, 0: select lcpu
Enable the corresponding ADC clock source (enabled by default in code, not mandatory here)
/* 2, open adc clock source */
HAL_RCC_EnableModule(RCC_MOD_GPADC);

HAL_ADC_ConfigChannel(&hadc, &ADC_ChanConf);
ADC Calibration
To improve ADC accuracy, SiFli series chips undergo ADC calibration at the factory (calibration parameters are written to the chip’s internal OTP area). Different series have different calibration methods.
To ensure ADC accuracy, call the calibration function once per power-on. Use unified context structure to manage calibration parameters:
/* Define calibration context */
static HAL_ADC_CalibContextTypeDef g_adc_calib_ctx;
/* Load calibration parameters */
static int utest_adc_calib(void)
{
HAL_ADC_CalibFactoryInfoTypeDef factory_info;
/* Load calibration context: init defaults + read factory config */
if (HAL_ADC_CalibLoad(NULL,
&g_adc_calib_ctx,
HAL_ADC_CALIB_SOURCE_BSP,
HAL_ADC_CALIB_F_INIT) != HAL_OK)
{
rt_kprintf("Get ADC configure fail\n");
return HAL_ERROR;
}
/* Get factory config info (for log output) */
if (HAL_ADC_CalibGetFactoryInfo(HAL_ADC_CALIB_SOURCE_BSP, &factory_info) != HAL_OK)
{
rt_kprintf("Get ADC configure fail\n");
return HAL_ERROR;
}
return HAL_OK;
}
After ADC sampling obtains the raw register value, call
HAL_ADC_RegToVoltageFloatto calculate the final voltage value using calibration context:
/* Read register value */
dst = HAL_ADC_GetValue(&hadc, lslot);
/* Convert to voltage (mV) */
float voltage = HAL_ADC_RegToVoltageFloat((float)dst, &g_adc_calib_ctx);
For 52 series chips, Channel 7 is internally connected to Vbat through voltage divider resistors. To get Vbat value, multiply by calibration factor:
/* VBAT channel special handling */
if (channel == 7)
{
/* Actual battery voltage = ADC voltage × vbat_factor */
voltage *= g_adc_calib_ctx.vbat_factor;
}
Apply calibration parameters to hardware (such as LDO Vref setting):
/* Apply calibration parameters to hardware */
HAL_ADC_CalibApply(&hadc, &g_adc_calib_ctx);

Exception Diagnosis
ADC sampled voltage value is incorrect
Check if ADC hardware is connected correctly. ADC sampling channels are fixed IO ports and cannot be arbitrarily assigned. For which IO corresponds to CH0-7, refer to the chip manual.
ADC input voltage range is 0V - reference voltage (52 defaults to 3v3), cannot exceed the input range
Use debugging tools like Ozone or LightWork. After starting ADC sampling, connect online and check the corresponding register configuration status against the chip manual.
ADC accuracy is insufficient
Check if ADC calibration parameters are obtained and used
Check if voltage divider resistor accuracy meets requirements
Check if ADC reference voltage is stable and has excessive ripple (refer to ADC voltage reference chip manual for specifics)
