Introduction
STM32H7 Series MCUs embed three successive-approximation-register (SAR) ADCs with 16-bit resolution targetting
applications requiring high accuracy measurements and high data rates.
This application note describes the new features and performance figures of the 16-bit ADC.
It explains how the ADC performance varies under various conditions, and provides guidelines to exploit the full potential of the
STM32 16-bit ADC.
This document applies to the STM32H7 Series product lines listed in Table 1.
