2.13.3 Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)

(Ask a Question)

Unless otherwise noted, ADC direct input performance is specified at 25 °C with nominal power supply voltages, with the output measured using the external voltage reference with the internal ADC in 12-bit mode and 500 KHz sampling frequency, after trimming and digital compensation.
