The Maple board -contains a 16-channel, 12-bit analog to digital converter. This means -that it will map input voltages between 0 and 3.3 volts into integer -values between 0 and 4095. This yields a resolution between readings -of 3.3V / 4096 units, or 0.8 millivolts. However, a number of factors -interfere with getting full accuracy and precision.

This means -that it will map input voltages between 0 and 5 volts into integer -values between 0 and 1023. This yields a resolution between readings -of: 5 volts / 1024 units or, .0049 volts (4.9 mV) per unit. On the -Arduino, the input range and resolution can be changed using their -implementation of `analogReference() -<http://arduino.cc/en/Reference/AnalogReference>`_\ . - -On the Arduino, it takes about 100 microseconds (0.0001 s) to read an -analog input, so the maximum reading rate is about 10,000 times a -second. - - -See also --------- - -- :ref:`ADC note <adc>` -- :ref:`analogReference <arduino-analogreference>` -- `(Arduino) Tutorial: Analog Input Pins <http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/AnalogInputPins>`_ - - -.. rubric:: Footnotes - -.. [#fsamp] This is based on the current configuration of a 55.5 cycle - sample time, at 72 MHz. However, the minimum sample time *possible* - is 1.5 cycles, leading to a theoretical maximum of approximately 48 - million samples per second (of course, doing anything with the - readings also consumes cycles, so this maximum can't be reached in - practice). - - See the `STM32 Reference Manual <full-manual>`_, ยงยง11.12.4--5 - (pp. 225--226), for more information on the low-level bit twiddling - currently necessary to change the sample time. For examples of how - the ADCs are configured in libmaple, see `adc.h - <http://github.com/leaflabs/libmaple/blob/master/libmaple/adc.h>`_ - and `adc.c - <http://github.com/leaflabs/libmaple/blob/master/libmaple/adc.c>`_\ - . Be aware that changing the sample time has important - consequences related to the impedance of the device connected to - the input pin. If you want to make changes, as a minimum, you - should first read ST's application notes on `ADC modes - <stm32-adc-modes>`_ and `ADC oversampling - <stm32-adc-oversampling>`_. |
