Channel-by-channel programmable sample time
ADC samples the input voltage for a number of ADC_CLK cycles which can be modified us-
ing the SMP[2:0] bits in the ADC_SMPR1 and ADC_SMPR2 registers. Each channel can be
sampled with a different sample time.
The total conversion time is calculated as follows:
Tconv = Sampling time + 12.5 cycles
Example:
With an ADCCLK = 14 MHz and a sampling time of 1.5 cycles:
Tconv = 1.5 + 12.5 = 14 cycles = 1 µs

Conversion on external trigger
Conversion can be triggered by an external event (e.g. timer capture, EXTI line). If the EXT-
TRIG control bit is set then external events are able to trigger a conversion. The EXT-
SEL[2:0] and JEXTSEL[2:0] control bits allow the application to select decide which out of 8
possible events can trigger conversion for the regular and injected groups.
Note:
When an external trigger is selected for ADC regular or injected conversion, only the rising
edge of the signal can start the conversion.

1.
The TIM8_TRGO event exists only in high-density and XL-density devices.
2.
The selection of the external trigger EXTI line11 or TIM8_TRGO event for regular channels is done through
configuration bits ADC1_ETRGREG_REMAP and ADC2_ETRGREG_REMAP for ADC1 and ADC2,
respectively.
