ATmega4808/4809

32.16.2 External Reference Characteristics

Operating conditions:

V_DD = 1.8 to 5.5V
Temperature = -40°C to 125°C
DUTYCYC = 25%
CLK_ADC = 13 * f_ADC
SAMPCAP is 5 pF

The accuracy characteristics numbers are based on the characterization of the following input reference levels and V_DD ranges:

V_REF = 1.8V, V_DD = 1.8 to 5.5V
V_REF = 2.6V, V_DD = 2.7 to 5.5V
V_REF = 4.096V, V_DD = 4.5 to 5.5V
V_REF = 4.3V, V_DD = 4.5 to 5.5V

Note:

A DNL error of less than or equal to 1 LSB ensures a monotonic transfer function with no missing codes.
