Example Description

This example provides a description of how to use a DMA channel to transfer data buffer from RAM memory to DAC.

DMA1 channel3 is configured to transfer continuously, word by word, a Half-word buffer to the DAC register DAC_DHR12R. The DAC channel conversion is configured to be triggered by TIM2 TRGO triggers and without noise/triangle wave generation. 12bit right data alignment is selected since we choose to access DAC_DHR12R register.

You can monitor the DAC output waveform on PA.04 pin.

Note:

The "system_stm32f0xx.c" is generated by an automatic clock configuration tool and can be easily customized to meet user application requirements. To select different clock setup, use the "STM32F0xx_Clock_Configuration_VX.Y.Z.xls" provided with the AN4055 package available on ST Microcontrollers

Hardware and Software environment

• This example runs on STM32F0xx devices.

• This example has been tested with STMicroelectronics STM320518-EVAL and STM32072B-EVAL including respectively STM32F051R8T6 and STM32F072VBT6 devices and can be easily tailored to any other supported device and development board

• STM320518-EVAL Set-up
  • Connect DAC_OUT pin PA.04 to an oscilloscope to visualize the DAC output waveform

• STM32072B-EVAL Set-up
  • Connect DAC_OUT pin PA.04 to an oscilloscope to visualize the DAC output waveform

How to use it ?

In order to make the program work, you must do the following :

• Copy all source files from this example folder to the template folder under Project
• Open your preferred toolchain
• Select the appropriate workspace
• Rebuild all files and load your image into target memory
