Analog to Digital Converter (ADC)

ADC Channels

The ESP32-C3 integrates 2 SAR (Successive Approximation Register) ADCs, supporting a total of 6 measurement channels (analog enabled pins).

These channels are supported:

ADC1:

• 5 channels: GPIO0 - GPIO4

ADC2:

• 1 channels: GPIO5

ADC Attenuation

Vref is the reference voltage used internally by ESP32-C3 ADCs for measuring the input voltage. The ESP32-C3 ADCs can measure analog voltages from 0 V to Vref. Among different chips, the Vref varies, the median is 1.1 V. In order to convert voltages larger than Vref, input voltages can be attenuated before being input to the ADCs. There are 4 available attenuation options, the higher the attenuation is, the higher the measurable input voltage could be.

Attenuation	Measurable input voltage range
ADC_ATTEN_DB_0	0 mV ~ 750 mV
ADC_ATTEN_DB_2_5	0 mV ~ 1050 mV
ADC_ATTEN_DB_6	0 mV ~ 1300 mV
ADC_ATTEN_DB_11	0 mV ~ 2500 mV

ADC Conversion

An ADC conversion is to convert the input analog voltage to a digital value. The ADC conversion results provided by the ADC driver APIs are raw data. Resolution of ESP32-C3 ADC raw results under Single Read mode is 12-bit.

• adc1_get_raw()

• adc2_get_raw()

• adc_digi_read_bytes()

To calculate the voltage based on the ADC raw results, this formula can be used:

Vout = Dout * Vmax / Dmax       (1)

where:

Vout	Digital output result, standing for the voltage.
Dout	ADC raw digital reading result.
Vmax	Maximum measurable input analog voltage, see ADC Attenuation.
Dmax	Maximum of the output ADC raw digital reading result, which is 4095 under Single Read mode, 4095 under Continuous Read mode.

For boards with eFuse ADC calibration bits, esp_adc_cal_raw_to_voltage() can be used to get the calibrated conversion results. These results stand for the actual voltage (in mV). No need to transform these data via the formula (1). If ADC calibration APIs are used on boards without eFuse ADC calibration bits, warnings will be generated. See ADC Calibration.

ADC Limitations

注解

• Since the ADC2 module is also used by the Wi-Fi, reading operation of adc2_get_raw() may fail between esp_wifi_start() and esp_wifi_stop(). Use the return code to see whether the reading is successful.

• A specific ADC module can only work under one operating mode at any one time, either Continuous Read Mode or Single Read Mode.

• ADC1 and ADC2 can not work under Singel Read Mode simultaneously. One of them will get blocked until another one finishes.

• For continuous (DMA) read mode, the ADC sampling frequency (the sample_freq_hz member of adc_digi_config_t) should be within SOC_ADC_SAMPLE_FREQ_THRES_LOW and SOC_ADC_SAMPLE_FREQ_THRES_HIGH.

Driver Usage

Each ADC unit supports two work modes, ADC single read mode and ADC continuous (DMA) mode. ADC single read mode is suitable for low-frequency sampling operations. ADC continuous (DMA) read mode is suitable for high-frequency continuous sampling actions.

注解

ADC readings from a pin not connected to any signal are random.

ADC Continuous (DMA) Read mode

To use the ADC continuous read mode driver, execute the following steps:

1. Initialize the ADC driver by calling the function adc_digi_initialize().

2. Initialize the ADC controller by calling the function adc_digi_controller_config().

3. Start the ADC continuous reading by calling the function adc_digi_start().

4. After starting the ADC, you can get the ADC reading result by calling the function adc_digi_read_bytes(). Before stopping the ADC (by calling adc_digi_stop()), the driver will keep converting the analog data to digital data.

5. Stop the ADC reading by calling the function adc_digi_stop().

6. Deinitialize the ADC driver by calling the function adc_digi_deinitialize().

The code example for using ADC continuous (DMA) read mode can be found in the peripherals/adc/esp32c3/adc directory of ESP-IDF examples.

注解

See ADC Limitations for the limitation of using ADC continuous (DMA) read mode.

ADC Single Read mode

The ADC should be configured before reading is taken.

• For ADC1, configure desired precision and attenuation by calling functions adc1_config_width() and adc1_config_channel_atten().

• For ADC2, configure the attenuation by adc2_config_channel_atten(). The reading width of ADC2 is configured every time you take the reading.

Attenuation configuration is done per channel, see adc1_channel_t and adc2_channel_t, set as a parameter of above functions.

Then it is possible to read ADC conversion result with adc1_get_raw() and adc2_get_raw(). Reading width of ADC2 should be set as a parameter of adc2_get_raw() instead of in the configuration functions.

Single Read mode ADC example can be found in peripherals/adc/single_read directory of ESP-IDF examples.

注解

See ADC Limitations for the limitation of using ADC single read mode.

Minimizing Noise

The ESP32-C3 ADC can be sensitive to noise leading to large discrepancies in ADC readings. Depending on the usage scenario, users may connect a bypass capacitor (e.g. a 100 nF ceramic capacitor) to the ADC input pad in use, to minimize noise. Besides, multisampling may also be used to further mitigate the effects of noise.

ADC Calibration

ESP32-C3 ADC Calibration contains 2 steps: Hardware Calibration and Software Calibration.

Hardware Calibration

Based on series of comparisons with the reference voltage, ESP32-C3 ADC determines each bit of the output digital result. Per design the ESP32-C3 ADC reference voltage is 1100 mV, however the true reference voltage can range from 1000 mV to 1200 mV among different chips. To minimize this difference, hardware calibration is introduced.

Hardware calibration contains 2 steps:

1. Set an auto-calibration parameter of bandgap voltage reference. In this way, the difference mentioned above can be minimized.

2. Correct the offset of the ADC Vin-Dout characteristics. ADC characteristics is generally a function: f(x) = A * x + B, where B is the offset.

An uncalibrated ADC characteristics is as follows:

The offset in the uncalibrated characteristics is significant. Step 2 is to correct the offset to 0.

After hardware calibration, the ADC characteristics would be like:

Hardware calibration is done internally by the ADC driver. The consequent results are raw data. A transformation is needed to get the final result, see ADC Conversion.

Software Calibration

To convert ADC raw data to calibrated digital data, following steps should be followed:

1. Check the eFuse to know if the software calibration is supported via esp_adc_cal_check_efuse().

2. Calculate the ADC calibration characteristics via esp_adc_cal_characterize(). The ADC software calibration characteristics are per ADC module and per attenuation. For example, characteristics of ADC1 channel 0 under 11 dB attenuation are the same as characteristics of ADC1 channel 2 under 11 dB attenuation. But characteristics of ADC1 channel 0 under 11 dB attenuation are different with characteristics of ADC2 channel 0 under 11 dB attenuation. Also characteristics of ADC1 channel 0 under 11 dB attenuation are different with characteristics of ADC1 channel 0 under 6 dB attenuation.

3. Get the actual voltage value via esp_adc_cal_raw_to_voltage().

After software calibration, the ADC characteristics would be like:

The results provided by the ADC calibration APIs indicate the actual voltage values. ADC software calibration example can be found in peripherals/adc/single_read directory of ESP-IDF examples.

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.

2. ADC1_GPIOn_CHANNEL is the ADC1 channel number of GPIO n.

For maximum accuracy, use the ADC calibration APIs and measure voltages within these recommended ranges.

Note

For any given channel, this function must be called before the first time adc1_get_raw() is called for that channel.

Note

This function can be called multiple times to configure multiple ADC channels simultaneously. You may call adc1_get_raw() only after configuring a channel.

Return

• ESP_OK success

• ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG Parameter error

Parameters

• channel: ADC1 channel to configure

• atten: Attenuation level

esp_err_t adc1_config_width(adc_bits_width_t width_bit)

Configure ADC1 capture width, meanwhile enable output invert for ADC1. The configuration is for all channels of ADC1.

• ESP_OK success

• ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG Parameter error

Parameters

• width_bit: Bit capture width for ADC1

int adc1_get_raw(adc1_channel_t channel)

Take an ADC1 reading from a single channel.

Note

ESP32: When the power switch of SARADC1, SARADC2, HALL sensor and AMP sensor is turned on, the input of GPIO36 and GPIO39 will be pulled down for about 80ns. When enabling power for any of these peripherals, ignore input from GPIO36 and GPIO39. Please refer to section 3.11 of ‘ECO_and_Workarounds_for_Bugs_in_ESP32’ for the description of this issue. As a workaround, call adc_power_acquire() in the app. This will result in higher power consumption (by ~1mA), but will remove the glitches on GPIO36 and GPIO39.

Note

Call adc1_config_width() before the first time this function is called.

Note

For any given channel, adc1_config_channel_atten(channel) must be called before the first time this function is called. Configuring a new channel does not prevent a previously configured channel from being read.

The default ADC voltage is for attenuation 0 dB and listed in the table below. By setting higher attenuation it is possible to read higher voltages.

Due to ADC characteristics, most accurate results are obtained within the “suggested range” shown in the following table.

+----------+-------------+-----------------+
|          | attenuation | suggested range |
|    SoC   |     (dB)    |      (mV)       |
+==========+=============+=================+
|          |       0     |    100 ~  950   |
|          +-------------+-----------------+
|          |       2.5   |    100 ~ 1250   |

For maximum accuracy, use the ADC calibration APIs and measure voltages within these recommended ranges.

Note

This function also configures the input GPIO pin mux to connect it to the ADC2 channel. It must be called before calling adc2_get_raw() for this channel.

Note

For any given channel, this function must be called before the first time adc2_get_raw() is called for that channel.

Return

• ESP_OK success

• ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG Parameter error

Parameters

• channel: ADC2 channel to configure

• atten: Attenuation level

esp_err_t adc2_get_raw(adc2_channel_t channel, adc_bits_width_t width_bit, int *raw_out)

Take an ADC2 reading on a single channel.

Note

ESP32: When the power switch of SARADC1, SARADC2, HALL sensor and AMP sensor is turned on, the input of GPIO36 and GPIO39 will be pulled down for about 80ns. When enabling power for any of these peripherals, ignore input from GPIO36 and GPIO39. Please refer to section 3.11 of ‘ECO_and_Workarounds_for_Bugs_in_ESP32’ for the description of this issue. As a workaround, call adc_power_acquire() in the app. This will result in higher power consumption (by ~1mA), but will remove the glitches on GPIO36 and GPIO39.

Note

ESP32: For a given channel, adc2_config_channel_atten() must be called before the first time this function is called. If Wi-Fi is started via esp_wifi_start(), this function will always fail with ESP_ERR_TIMEOUT.

Note

ESP32-S2: ADC2 support hardware arbiter. The arbiter is to improve the use efficiency of ADC2. After the control right is robbed by the high priority, the low priority controller will read the invalid ADC2 data. Default priority: Wi-Fi > RTC > Digital;

Return

• ESP_OK if success

• ESP_ERR_TIMEOUT ADC2 is being used by other controller and the request timed out.

• ESP_ERR_INVALID_STATE The controller status is invalid. Please try again.

Parameters

• channel: ADC2 channel to read

• width_bit: Bit capture width for ADC2

• raw_out: the variable to hold the output data.

Functions

esp_err_t esp_adc_cal_check_efuse(esp_adc_cal_value_t value_type)

Checks if ADC calibration values are burned into eFuse.

This function checks if ADC reference voltage or Two Point values have been burned to the eFuse of the current ESP32

Note

in ESP32S2, only ESP_ADC_CAL_VAL_EFUSE_TP is supported. Some old ESP32S2s do not support this, either. In which case you have to calibrate it manually, possibly by performing your own two-point calibration on the chip.

Return

• ESP_OK: The calibration mode is supported in eFuse

• ESP_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED: Error, eFuse values are not burned

• ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG: Error, invalid argument (ESP_ADC_CAL_VAL_DEFAULT_VREF)

Parameters

Characterize an ADC at a particular attenuation.

This function will characterize the ADC at a particular attenuation and generate the ADC-Voltage curve in the form of [y = coeff_a * x + coeff_b]. Characterization can be based on Two Point values, eFuse Vref, or default Vref and the calibration values will be prioritized in that order.

Note

For ESP32, Two Point values and eFuse Vref calibration can be enabled/disabled using menuconfig. For ESP32s2, only Two Point values calibration and only ADC_WIDTH_BIT_13 is supported. The parameter default_vref is unused.
