✝ Data in the “Typ.” column is at T_A = 25°C and V_DD = 3.0V unless otherwise specified. These parameters are for design guidance only and are not tested. Note: The ADC conversion result never decreases with an increase in the input and has no missing codes. This is the impedance seen by the VREFA pin when the external reference is selected.
