Hi, this is the exact example I wanted for nrf5340. I tried to run your example. But get a list of errors related to PPI packages. I am using ncs1.8. Should I change those ppi to dppi in nrfx_ppi.h ? Please help!

DMA is always enabled, the SAADC cannot operate in any other way.

Hi,

No not about the sample, i just need to understand where in SAADC driver code, is DMA enabled..?

As, I cannot see DMA related code anywhere in SAADC driver code,

Kindly point me to the same

You can find the example at https://github.com/haakonsh/NCS_SAADC_example/tree/master.

[quote user="jyoti yadav"]Where i can get the DMA related driver code in which file ?[/quote]

I'll try to create a sample. I'll need to time create, debug, and test it before I can share it.

[quote user="jyoti yadav"]Do we need to add extra config for Enabling DMA?[/quote]

No, the SAADC can only be used with DMA.

DMA is always enabled for the SAADC peripheral. Where i can get the DMA related driver code in which file ?I want to understand the flow of the code where the DMA is enabled . Do we need to add extra config for Enabling DMA?

nRF Connect SDK

What SDK are you using, nRF5_SDK or nRF Connect SDK?

DMA is always enabled for the SAADC peripheral.
