18.3.14 Stopping an ongoing conversion (ADSTP)
The software can decide to stop any ongoing conversions by setting ADSTP
=
1 in the
ADC_CR register.
This resets the ADC operation and the ADC is idle, ready for a new operation.
When the ADSTP bit is set by software, any ongoing conversion is aborted and the result is
discarded (ADC_DR register is not updated with the current conversion).
The scan sequence is also aborted and reset (meaning that restarting the ADC would re-
start a new sequence).
Once this procedure is complete, the ADSTP and ADSTART bits are both cleared by
hardware and the software must wait until ADSTART=0 before starting new conversions.

Conversion on external trigger and trigger polarity (EXTSEL,
EXTEN)
A conversion or a sequence of conversion can be triggered either by software or by an
external event (for example timer capture). If the EXTEN[1:0] control bits are not equal to
“0b00”, then external events are able to trigger a conversion with the selected polarity. The
trigger selection is effective once software has set bit ADSTART
=
1.
Any hardware triggers which occur while a conversion is ongoing are ignored.
If bit ADSTART
=
0, any hardware triggers which occur are ignored.
provides the correspondence between the EXTEN[1:0] values and the trigger
polarity.
Note:
The polarity of the external trigger can be changed only when the ADC is not converting
(ADSTART = 0).
The EXTSEL[2:0] control bits are used to select which of 8 possible events can trigger
conversions.
