I'm looking at directly using the built in ADCs on the i.mx7 in our project.
In the Reference manual for the i.mx7d board it mentions the ADCX_inX pins w/ 2 ADCs and 4 inputs each. I see in the reference board schematic where these are connected to a header and brought into the CPU except for the one pin connected to the mikrobus.
It also mentions ADC_VREF[H/L] for the voltage high and low reference. I can't find these inputs in the reference schematic or the data sheet though. The only pins I see other than the inputs are the 1.8V power supply and pcap inputs.
So the question is, how does one set the reference voltage for the ADCs? I want to measure up to 12V for instance.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hello,
The ADC VREF relates to VDDA_ADC1_1P8 and VDDA_ADC2_1P8.
The ADC VREFH is internally connected to VDDA_ADCx_1P8 and VREFL is connected to GND.
Have a great day,
Yuri

Thanks Yuri. I verified in the data sheet those pins are 1.8V only. I'll look for a way to use them as is or just find an external companion chip to do what I need.
