21.4.18 Conversion on external trigger and trigger polarity
(EXTSEL, EXTEN,JEXTSEL, JEXTEN)
A conversion or a sequence of conversions can be triggered either by software or by an
external event (e.g. timer capture, input pins). If the EXTEN[1:0] control bits (for a regular
conversion) or JEXTEN[1:0] bits (for an injected conversion) are different from 0b00, then
external events are able to trigger a conversion with the selected polarity.
When the Injected Queue is enabled (bit JQDIS=0), injected software triggers are not
possible.
The regular trigger selection is effective once software has set bit ADSTART=1 and the
injected trigger selection is effective once software has set bit JADSTART=1.
Any hardware triggers which occur while a conversion is ongoing are ignored.
• If bit ADSTART=0, any regular hardware triggers which occur are ignored.
• If bit JADSTART=0, any injected hardware triggers which occur are ignored.
Table 161 provides the correspondence between the EXTEN[1:0] and JEXTEN[1:0] values
and the trigger polarity.
Note: The polarity of the regular trigger cannot be changed on-the-fly.
Note: The polarity of the injected trigger can be anticipated and changed on-the-fly when the
queue is enabled (JQDIS=0). Refer to Section 21.4.21: Queue of context for injected
conversions.
The EXTSEL and JEXTSEL control bits select which out of 32 possible events can trigger
conversion for the regular and injected groups.
A regular group conversion can be interrupted by an injected trigger.
