The ADC oneshot mode driver is implemented based on {IDF_TARGET_NAME} SAR ADC module. Different ESP chips might have different numbers of independent ADCs. From the oneshot mode driver's point of view, an ADC instance is represented by :cpp:type:`adc_oneshot_unit_handle_t`.
-:cpp:member:`adc_oneshot_unit_init_cfg_t::unit_id` selects the ADC. Please refer to the `datasheet <{IDF_TARGET_TRM_EN_URL}>`__ to know dedicated analog IOs for this ADC.
-:cpp:member:`adc_oneshot_unit_init_cfg_t::clk_src` selects the source clock of the ADC. If set to 0, the driver will fall back to using a default clock source, see :cpp:type:`adc_oneshot_clk_src_t` to know the details.
-:cpp:member:`adc_oneshot_unit_init_cfg_t::ulp_mode` sets if the ADC will be working under ULP mode.
After setting up the initial configurations for the ADC, call :cpp:func:`adc_oneshot_new_unit` with the prepared :cpp:type:`adc_oneshot_unit_init_cfg_t`. This function will return an ADC unit handle if the allocation is successful.
This function may fail due to various errors such as invalid arguments, insufficient memory, etc. Specifically, when the to-be-allocated ADC instance is registered already, this function will return :c:macro:`ESP_ERR_NOT_FOUND` error. Number of available ADC(s) is recorded by :c:macro:`SOC_ADC_PERIPH_NUM`.
If a previously created ADC instance is no longer required, you should recycle the ADC instance by calling :cpp:func:`adc_oneshot_del_unit`, related hardware and software resources will be recycled as well.
-:cpp:member:`adc_oneshot_chan_cfg_t::atten`, ADC attenuation. Refer to `TRM <{IDF_TARGET_TRM_EN_URL}>`__ > ``On-Chip Sensor and Analog Signal Processing``.
-:cpp:member:`adc_oneshot_chan_cfg_t::bitwidth`, the bitwidth of the raw conversion result.
Additionally, :cpp:func:`adc_continuous_io_to_channel` and :cpp:func:`adc_continuous_channel_to_io` can be used to know the ADC channels and ADC IOs.
To make these settings take effect, call :cpp:func:`adc_oneshot_config_channel` with the above configuration structure. You should specify an ADC channel to be configured as well. Function :cpp:func:`adc_oneshot_config_channel` can be called multiple times to configure different ADC channels. The Driver will save each of these channel configurations internally.
After above configurations, the ADC is ready to measure the analog signal(s) from the configured ADC channel(s). Call :cpp:func:`adc_oneshot_read` to get the conversion raw result of an ADC channel.
-:cpp:func:`adc_oneshot_read` is safe to use. ADC(s) are shared by some other drivers/peripherals, see :ref:`hardware_limitations_adc_oneshot`. This function uses mutexes to avoid concurrent hardware usage. Therefore, this function should not be used in an ISR context. This function may fail when the ADC is in use by other drivers/peripherals, and return :c:macro:`ESP_ERR_TIMEOUT`. Under this condition, the ADC raw result is invalid.
- Digital output result, standing for the voltage.
* - Dout
- ADC raw digital reading result.
* - Vmax
- Maximum measurable input analog voltage, this is related to the ADC attenuation, please refer to `TRM <{IDF_TARGET_TRM_EN_URL}>`__ > ``On-Chip Sensor and Analog Signal Processing``.
- Maximum of the output ADC raw digital reading result, which is 2^bitwidth, where bitwidth is the :cpp:member:`adc_oneshot_chan_cfg_t::bitwidth` configured before.
- Random Number Generator (RNG) uses ADC as an input source. When ADC :cpp:func:`adc_oneshot_read` works, the random number generated from RNG will be less random.
- A specific ADC unit can only work under one operating mode at any one time, either continuous mode or oneshot mode. :cpp:func:`adc_oneshot_read` has provided the protection.
- ADC2 oneshot mode is no longer supported, due to hardware limitations. The results are not stable. This issue can be found in `ESP32-C3 Series SoC Errata <https://www.espressif.com/sites/default/files/documentation/esp32-c3_errata_en.pdf>`_. For compatibility, you can enable :ref:`CONFIG_ADC_ONESHOT_FORCE_USE_ADC2_ON_C3` to force use ADC2.
When power management is enabled, i.e., :ref:`CONFIG_PM_ENABLE` is on, the system clock frequency may be adjusted when the system is in an idle state. However, the ADC oneshot mode driver works in a polling routine, the :cpp:func:`adc_oneshot_read` will poll the CPU until the function returns. During this period of time, the task in which ADC oneshot mode driver resides will not be blocked. Therefore the clock frequency is stable when reading.
By default, all the ADC oneshot mode driver APIs are not supposed to be run when the Cache is disabled. Cache may be disabled due to many reasons, such as Flash writing/erasing, OTA, etc. If these APIs execute when the Cache is disabled, you will probably see errors like ``Illegal Instruction`` or ``Load/Store Prohibited``.
-:cpp:func:`adc_oneshot_del_unit` is not thread-safe. Besides, concurrently calling this function may result in failures of the above thread-safe APIs.
-:ref:`CONFIG_ADC_ONESHOT_CTRL_FUNC_IN_IRAM` controls where to place the ADC fast read function (IRAM or Flash), see `IRAM Safe <#iram-safe>`__ for more details.
