Note:
  1. These values are based on characterization, and are not covered by test limits in production.
  2. These values are based on simulation, and are not covered by test limits in production or characterization.
  3. In this condition and for a sample rate of 350 ksps, 1 conversion at gain 1x takes 6 clock cycles of the ADC clock.
  4. It is the buffered internal reference of 1.0V derived from the internal 1.1V bandgap reference.

Note:
  1. Maximum numbers are based on characterization and not tested in production, and valid for 5% to 95% of the input voltage range.
  2. Dynamic parameter numbers are based on characterization and not tested in production.
  3. Respect the Input Common mode voltage through the following equations (where, VCM_IN is the Input Channel Common mode voltage):

    If |VIN| > VREF/4

    VCM_IN < 0.95 × VDDANA + VREF/4 – 0.75V

    VCM_IN > VREF/4 -0.05 × VDDANA – 0.1V

    If |VIN| < VREF/4

    VCM_IN < 1.2 × VDDANA – 0.75V

    VCM_IN > 0.2 × VDDANA – 0.1V

  4. The ADC channels on the pins, PA08, PA09, PA10, PA11, are powered from the VDDIO power supply. The ADC performance of these pins will not be the same as all the other ADC channels on pins powered from the VDDANA power supply.
  5. The gain accuracy represents the gain error expressed in percent. 
Gain accuracy (%) = (Gain Error in V × 100) / (2 × Vref/GAIN)

  2. Respect the input common mode voltage through the following equations, where VCM_IN is the Input Channel Common mode voltage for all VIN:

    VCM_IN < 0.7 × VDDANA + VREF/4 – 0.75V

    VCM_IN > VREF/4 – 0.3 × VDDANA – 0.1V
