Do you have eg a 3V cpu and eg 5V on the POT? Or - measure processor Vdd. Measure voltage at 'hot' end of pot. The current that you report iswell outside the spec expected for any normal= A2D. Can you provide links to the documents you are looking at. Speeds up finding them and guarantees we are all on the same page (literally in this case).
