STM32F429I-DISC: ADC Sample rate out by factor of 3.7

Hi,

on STM32F429I-DISC the timer TIM2 kicks ADC1 and the data goes to buffer via DMA. APB1 clock for TIM2 is 36MHz, reload value for TIM2 is 143, I exspect 36e6/144= 250k samples/second.

I get 8.3e6 samples in 123 seconds which results in 67.4ks/s. This is factor 3.7 low, not even an integer ratio.

There is a clock issue for the 48MHz, see enclosed .ioc

 

What do I miss?

THX Cheers

Detlef

Measured how exactly? Be precise.

The timings provided in the Reference Manual are correct, so you need to present enough information to be able to spot the error.
