{IDF_TARGET_ADC1_CH0: default="GPIO 0", esp32="GPIO 36"}
|
||
{IDF_TARGET_ADC2_CH7: default="GPIO 0", esp32="GPIO 27"}
|
||
|
||
|
||
Overview
|
||
--------
|
||
|
||
.. only:: esp32
|
||
|
||
The {IDF_TARGET_NAME} integrates two 12-bit SAR (`Successive Approximation Register <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Successive_approximation_ADC>`_) ADCs supporting a total of 18 measurement channels (analog enabled pins).
|
||
|
||
The ADC driver API supports ADC1 (8 channels, attached to GPIOs 32 - 39), and ADC2 (10 channels, attached to GPIOs 0, 2, 4, 12 - 15 and 25 - 27). However, the usage of ADC2 has some restrictions for the application:
|
||
|
||
1. ADC2 is used by the Wi-Fi driver. Therefore the application can only use ADC2 when the Wi-Fi driver has not started.
|
||
2. Some of the ADC2 pins are used as strapping pins (GPIO 0, 2, 15) thus cannot be used freely. Such is the case in the following official Development Kits:
|
||
|
||
- :ref:`ESP32 DevKitC <esp-modules-and-boards-esp32-devkitc>`: GPIO 0 cannot be used due to external auto program circuits.
|
||
- :ref:`ESP-WROVER-KIT <esp-modules-and-boards-esp-wrover-kit>`: GPIO 0, 2, 4 and 15 cannot be used due to external connections for different purposes.
|
||
|
||
.. only:: esp32s2
|
||
|
||
The {IDF_TARGET_NAME} integrates two 13-bit SAR (`Successive Approximation Register <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Successive_approximation_ADC>`_) ADCs supporting a total of 20 measurement channels (analog enabled pins).
|
||
|
||
The ADC driver API supports ADC1 (10 channels, attached to GPIOs 1 - 10), and ADC2 (10 channels, attached to GPIOs 11 - 20). However, the usage of ADC2 has some restrictions for the application:
|
||
|
||
1. Different from ADC1, the hardware arbiter function is added to ADC2, so when using the API of ADC2 to obtain the sampling voltage, you need to judge whether the result is successfully arbitrated.
|
||
|
||
Configuration and Reading ADC
|
||
-----------------------------
|
||
|
||
Each ADC unit supports two work modes, ADC-RTC or ADC-DMA mode. ADC-RTC is controlled by the RTC controller and is suitable for low-frequency sampling operations. ADC-DMA is controlled by a digital controller and is suitable for high-frequency continuous sampling actions.
|
||
|
||
ADC-RTC mode
|
||
^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||
|
||
The ADC should be configured before reading is taken.
|
||
|
||
- For ADC1, configure desired precision and attenuation by calling functions :cpp:func:`adc1_config_width` and :cpp:func:`adc1_config_channel_atten`.
|
||
- For ADC2, configure the attenuation by :cpp:func:`adc2_config_channel_atten`. The reading width of ADC2 is configured every time you take the reading.
|
||
|
||
Attenuation configuration is done per channel, see :cpp:type:`adc1_channel_t` and :cpp:type:`adc2_channel_t`, set as a parameter of above functions.
|
||
|
||
Then it is possible to read ADC conversion result with :cpp:func:`adc1_get_raw` and :cpp:func:`adc2_get_raw`. Reading width of ADC2 should be set as a parameter of :cpp:func:`adc2_get_raw` instead of in the configuration functions.
|
||
|
||
.. note:: Since the ADC2 is shared with the WIFI module, which has higher priority, reading operation of :cpp:func:`adc2_get_raw` will fail between :cpp:func:`esp_wifi_start()` and :cpp:func:`esp_wifi_stop()`. Use the return code to see whether the reading is successful.
|
||
|
||
.. only:: esp32
|
||
|
||
It is also possible to read the internal hall effect sensor via ADC1 by calling dedicated function :cpp:func:`hall_sensor_read`. Note that even the hall sensor is internal to ESP32, reading from it uses channels 0 and 3 of ADC1 (GPIO 36 and 39). Do not connect anything else to these pins and do not change their configuration. Otherwise it may affect the measurement of low value signal from the sensor.
|
||
|
||
This API provides convenient way to configure ADC1 for reading from :doc:`ULP <../../api-guides/ulp>`. To do so, call function :cpp:func:`adc1_ulp_enable` and then set precision and attenuation as discussed above.
|
||
|
||
There is another specific function :cpp:func:`adc_vref_to_gpio` used to route internal reference voltage to a GPIO pin. It comes handy to calibrate ADC reading and this is discussed in section :ref:`adc-api-adc-calibration`.
|
||
|
||
.. todo::
|
||
|
||
1. Add `ADC-DMA mode` configuration after ADC-DMA driver done.
|
||
2. Add table for ADC-DMA clock system.
|
||
|
||
Application Examples
|
||
--------------------
|
||
|
||
Reading voltage on ADC1 channel 0 ({IDF_TARGET_ADC1_CH0})::
|
||
|
||
#include <driver/adc.h>
|
||
|
||
...
|
||
|
||
adc1_config_width(ADC_WIDTH_BIT_12);
|
||
adc1_config_channel_atten(ADC1_CHANNEL_0,ADC_ATTEN_DB_0);
|
||
int val = adc1_get_raw(ADC1_CHANNEL_0);
|
||
|
||
The input voltage in above example is from 0 to 1.1V (0 dB attenuation). The input range can be extended by setting higher attenuation, see :cpp:type:`adc_atten_t`.
|
||
An example using the ADC driver including calibration (discussed below) is available in esp-idf: :example:`peripherals/adc`
|
||
|
||
Reading voltage on ADC2 channel 7 ({IDF_TARGET_ADC2_CH7})::
|
||
|
||
#include <driver/adc.h>
|
||
|
||
...
|
||
|
||
int read_raw;
|
||
adc2_config_channel_atten( ADC2_CHANNEL_7, ADC_ATTEN_0db );
|
||
|
||
esp_err_t r = adc2_get_raw( ADC2_CHANNEL_7, ADC_WIDTH_12Bit, &read_raw);
|
||
if ( r == ESP_OK ) {
|
||
printf("%d\n", read_raw );
|
||
} else if ( r == ESP_ERR_TIMEOUT ) {
|
||
printf("ADC2 used by Wi-Fi.\n");
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
The reading may fail due to collision with Wi-Fi, should check it.
|
||
An example using the ADC2 driver to read the output of DAC is available in esp-idf: :example:`peripherals/adc2`
|
||
|
||
.. only:: esp32
|
||
|
||
Reading the internal hall effect sensor::
|
||
|
||
#include <driver/adc.h>
|
||
|
||
...
|
||
|
||
adc1_config_width(ADC_WIDTH_BIT_12);
|
||
int val = hall_sensor_read();
|
||
|
||
|
||
.. only:: esp32
|
||
|
||
The value read in both these examples is 12 bits wide (range 0-4095).
|
||
|
||
.. only:: esp32s2
|
||
|
||
The value read in both these examples is 13 bits wide (range 0-8191).

Minimizing Noise
|
||
----------------
|
||
|
||
The {IDF_TARGET_NAME} ADC can be sensitive to noise leading to large discrepancies in ADC readings. To minimize noise, users may connect a 0.1uF capacitor to the ADC input pad in use. Multisampling may also be used to further mitigate the effects of noise.

|
||
ADC Calibration
|
||
---------------
|
||
|
||
The :component_file:`esp_adc_cal/include/esp_adc_cal.h` API provides functions to correct for differences in measured voltages caused by variation of ADC reference voltages (Vref) between chips. Per design the ADC reference voltage is 1100mV, however the true reference voltage can range from 1000mV to 1200mV amongst different {IDF_TARGET_NAME}s.

||

||

|
||
:align: center
|
||
:alt: ADC reference voltage comparison
|
||
|
||
Graph illustrating effect of differing reference voltages on the ADC voltage curve.
|
||
|
||
Correcting ADC readings using this API involves characterizing one of the ADCs at a given attenuation to obtain a characteristics curve (ADC-Voltage curve) that takes into account the difference in ADC reference voltage. The characteristics curve is in the form of ``y = coeff_a * x + coeff_b`` and is used to convert ADC readings to voltages in mV. Calculation of the characteristics curve is based on calibration values which can be stored in eFuse or provided by the user.
|
||
|
||
Calibration Values
|
||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||
|
||
Calibration values are used to generate characteristic curves that account for the unique ADC reference voltage of a particular {IDF_TARGET_NAME}. There are currently three sources of calibration values. The availability of these calibration values will depend on the type and production date of the {IDF_TARGET_NAME} chip/module.
|
||
|
||
* **Two Point** values represent each of the ADCs’ readings at 150mV and 850mV. To obtain more accurate calibration results these values should be measured by user and burned into eFuse ``BLOCK3``.
|
||
|
||
* **eFuse Vref** represents the true ADC reference voltage. This value is measured and burned into eFuse ``BLOCK0`` during factory calibration.
|
||
|
||
* **Default Vref** is an estimate of the ADC reference voltage provided by the user as a parameter during characterization. If Two Point or eFuse Vref values are unavailable, **Default Vref** will be used.
|
||
|
||
.. only:: esp32
|
||
|
||
Individual measurement and burning of the **eFuse Vref** has been applied to ESP32-D0WD and ESP32-D0WDQ6 chips produced on/after the 1st week of 2018. Such chips may be recognized by date codes on/later than 012018 (see Line 4 on figure below).

||
|
||
If you would like to purchase chips or modules with calibration, double check with distributor or Espressif directly.
|
||
|
||
.. highlight:: none
|
||
|
||
If you are unable to check the date code (i.e. the chip may be enclosed inside a canned module, etc.), you can still verify if **eFuse Vref** is present by running `espefuse.py <https://github.com/espressif/esptool/wiki/espefuse>`_ tool with ``adc_info`` parameter ::
|
||
|
||
$IDF_PATH/components/esptool_py/esptool/espefuse.py --port /dev/ttyUSB0 adc_info
|
||
|
||
Replace ``/dev/ttyUSB0`` with {IDF_TARGET_NAME} board's port name.
|
||
|
||
A chip that has specific **eFuse Vref** value programmed (in this case 1093mV) will be reported as follows::
|
||
|
||
ADC VRef calibration: 1093mV
|
||
|
||
In another example below the **eFuse Vref** is not programmed::
|
||
|
||
ADC VRef calibration: None (1100mV nominal)
|
||
|
||
For a chip with two point calibration the message will look similar to::
|
||
|
||
ADC VRef calibration: 1149mV
|
||
ADC readings stored in efuse BLK3:
|
||
ADC1 Low reading (150mV): 306
|
||
ADC1 High reading (850mV): 3153
|
||
ADC2 Low reading (150mV): 389
|
||
ADC2 High reading (850mV): 3206
|
||
|
||
Application Example
|
||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||
|
||
For a full example see esp-idf: :example:`peripherals/adc`
|
||
|
||
Characterizing an ADC at a particular attenuation::
|
||
|
||
#include "driver/adc.h"
|
||
#include "esp_adc_cal.h"
|
||
|
||
...
|
||
|
||
//Characterize ADC at particular atten
|
||
esp_adc_cal_characteristics_t *adc_chars = calloc(1, sizeof(esp_adc_cal_characteristics_t));
|
||
esp_adc_cal_value_t val_type = esp_adc_cal_characterize(unit, atten, ADC_WIDTH_BIT_12, DEFAULT_VREF, adc_chars);
|
||
//Check type of calibration value used to characterize ADC
|
||
if (val_type == ESP_ADC_CAL_VAL_EFUSE_VREF) {
|
||
printf("eFuse Vref");
|
||
} else if (val_type == ESP_ADC_CAL_VAL_EFUSE_TP) {
|
||
printf("Two Point");
|
||
} else {
|
||
printf("Default");
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
Reading an ADC then converting the reading to a voltage::
|
||
|
||
#include "driver/adc.h"
|
||
#include "esp_adc_cal.h"
|
||
|
||
...
|
||
uint32_t reading = adc1_get_raw(ADC1_CHANNEL_5);
|
||
uint32_t voltage = esp_adc_cal_raw_to_voltage(reading, adc_chars);
|
||
|
||
Routing ADC reference voltage to GPIO, so it can be manually measured (for **Default Vref**)::
|
||
|
||
#include "driver/adc.h"
|
||
|
||
...
|
||
|
||
esp_err_t status = adc_vref_to_gpio(ADC_UNIT_1, GPIO_NUM_25);
|
||
if (status == ESP_OK) {
|
||
printf("v_ref routed to GPIO\n");
|
||
} else {
|
||
printf("failed to route v_ref\n");
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
GPIO Lookup Macros
|
||
------------------
|
||
|
||
There are macros available to specify the GPIO number of a ADC channel, or vice versa.
|
||
e.g.
|
||
|
||
1. ``ADC1_CHANNEL_0_GPIO_NUM`` is the GPIO number of ADC1 channel 0 (36);
|
||
2. ``ADC1_GPIO32_CHANNEL`` is the ADC1 channel number of GPIO 32 (ADC1 channel 4).
