Macro Definition Documentation

#define NRF_DRV_ADC_DEFAULT_CHANNEL (   analog_input)
Value:
{{{ \
.resolution = NRF_ADC_CONFIG_RES_10BIT, \
.reference = NRF_ADC_CONFIG_REF_VBG, \
.ain = (analog_input) \

Macro for initializing the ADC channel with the default configuration.

#define NRF_DRV_ADC_DEFAULT_CONFIG
Value:
{ \
.interrupt_priority = ADC_CONFIG_IRQ_PRIORITY \
}

ADC default configuration.

Typedef Documentation

typedef void(* nrf_drv_adc_event_handler_t)(nrf_drv_adc_evt_t const *p_event)

User event handler prototype.

This function is called when the requested number of samples has been processed.

Parameters
p_eventEvent.

Enumeration Type Documentation

Driver event types.

Enumerator
NRF_DRV_ADC_EVT_DONE 

Event generated when the buffer is filled with samples.

NRF_DRV_ADC_EVT_SAMPLE 

Event generated when the requested channel is sampled.

Function Documentation

ret_code_t nrf_drv_adc_buffer_convert ( nrf_adc_value_t *  buffer,
uint16_t  size 
)

Function for converting data to the buffer.

If the driver is initialized in non-blocking mode, this function returns when the first conversion is set up. When the buffer is filled, the application is notified by the event handler. If the driver is initialized in blocking mode, the function returns when the buffer is filled.

Conversion is done on all enabled channels, but it is not triggered by this function. This function will prepare the ADC for sampling and then wait for the SAMPLE task. Sampling can be triggered manually by the nrf_drv_adc_sample function or by PPI using the NRF_ADC_TASK_START task.

Note
If more than one channel is enabled, the function emulates scanning, and a single START task will trigger conversion on all enabled channels. For example: If 3 channels are enabled and the user requests 6 samples, the completion event handler will be called after 2 START tasks.
The application must adjust the sampling frequency. The maximum frequency depends on the sampling timer and the maximum latency of the ADC interrupt. If an interrupt is not handled before the next sampling is triggered, the sample will be lost.
Parameters
[in]bufferResult buffer.
[in]sizeBuffer size in samples.
Return values
NRF_SUCCESSIf conversion was successful.
NRF_ERROR_BUSYIf the driver is busy.
void nrf_drv_adc_channel_enable ( nrf_drv_adc_channel_t *const  p_channel)

Function for enabling an ADC channel.

This function configures and enables the channel. When nrf_drv_adc_buffer_convert is called, all channels that have been enabled with this function are sampled.

Note
The channel instance variable p_channel is used by the driver as an item in a list. Therefore, it cannot be an automatic variable, and an assertion fails if it is an automatic variable (if asserts are enabled).
__STATIC_INLINE nrf_adc_config_input_t nrf_drv_adc_gpio_to_ain ( uint32_t  pin)

Function for converting a GPIO pin number to an analog input pin mask to be used in the ADC channel configuration.

Parameters
[in]pinGPIO pin.
Returns
Analog input pin mask. The function returns NRF_ADC_CONFIG_INPUT_DISABLED if the specified pin is not an analog input.
ret_code_t nrf_drv_adc_init ( nrf_drv_adc_config_t const *  p_config,
nrf_drv_adc_event_handler_t  event_handler 
)

Function for initializing the ADC.

If a valid event handler is provided, the driver is initialized in non-blocking mode. If event_handler is NULL, the driver works in blocking mode.

Parameters
[in]p_configDriver configuration.
[in]event_handlerEvent handler provided by the user.
Return values
NRF_SUCCESSIf initialization was successful.
NRF_ERROR_INVALID_STATEIf the driver is already initialized.
bool nrf_drv_adc_is_busy ( void  )

Function for retrieving the ADC state.

Return values
trueIf the ADC is busy.
falseIf the ADC is ready.
void nrf_drv_adc_sample ( void  )

Function for starting ADC sampling.

This function triggers single ADC sampling. If more than one channel is enabled, the driver emulates scanning and all channels are sampled in the order they were enabled.

ret_code_t nrf_drv_adc_sample_convert ( nrf_drv_adc_channel_t const *const  p_channel,
nrf_adc_value_t *  p_value 
)

Function for executing a single ADC conversion.

This function selects the desired input and starts a single conversion. If a valid pointer is provided for the result, the function blocks until the conversion is completed. Otherwise, the function returns when the conversion is started, and the result is provided in an event (driver must be initialized in non-blocking mode otherwise an assertion will fail). The function will fail if ADC is busy. The channel does not need to be enabled to perform a single conversion.

Parameters
[in]p_channelChannel.
[out]p_valuePointer to the location where the result should be placed. Unless NULL is provided, the function is blocking.
Return values
NRF_SUCCESSIf conversion was successful.
NRF_ERROR_BUSYIf the ADC driver is busy.
__STATIC_INLINE uint32_t nrf_drv_adc_start_task_get ( void  )

Function for getting the address of the ADC START task.

This function is used to get the address of the START task, which can be used to trigger ADC conversion.

Returns
Start task address.
void nrf_drv_adc_uninit ( void  )

Function for uninitializing the ADC.

This function stops all ongoing conversions and disables all channels.
