Notes: 1. Maximum numbers are based on characterization and not tested in production, and for 5% to 95% of the input voltage
range.
2. Respect the input common mode voltage through the following equations (where VCM_IN is the Input channel com-
mon mode voltage) for all VIN:
z VCM_IN < 0.7*VDDANA + VREF/4 – 0.75V
z VCM_IN > VREF/4 – 0.3*VDDANA - 0.1V
3. The ADC channels on pins PA08, PA09, PA10, PA11 are powered from the VDDIO power supply. The ADC perfor-
mance of these pins will not be the same as all the other ADC channels on pins powered from the VDDANA power
supply.
4. The gain accuracy represents the gain error expressed in percent. Gain accuracy (%) = (Gain Error in V x 100) /
(Vref/GAIN)
Performance with the Averaging Digital Feature
Averaging is a feature which increases the sample accuracy. ADC automatically computes an average value of multiple
consecutive conversions. The numbers of samples to be averaged is specified by the Number-of-Samples-to-be-
collected bit group in the Average Control register (AVGCTRL.SAMPLENUM[3:0]) and the averaged output is available
in the Result register (RESULT).
