Table says AD10 VINH-VINL Full-Scale Input Span VREFL VREFH V (Note 2) AD11 VIN Absolute Input Voltage AVSS 0.3 AVDD + 0.3 V AD12 VINL Absolute VINL Input Voltage AVSS 0.3 AVDD/2 V AD17 RIN Recommended Impedance of Analog Voltage Source 2.5K . 10-bit ok basically :) AGND -0.3 well, will see. not a big issue to place a shottky diode externally. The current will be no more than 8V (pp) / 5K (or 10K) (in order tom eet impedance requirements) so 500-1.5mA. thanks again ! -- Ciao, Dario -- Cyberdyne -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
