11.5 ADC effective input impedance
A simplified diagram of the ADC input channels can be used to determine the effective
input impedance seen from an external voltage source. See Figure 23.

Fig 23. ADC input channel
The effective input impedance, Rin, seen by the external voltage source, VEXT, is the
parallel impedance of ((1/fs x Cia) + Rmux + Rsw) and (1/fs x Cio), and can be calculated
using Equation 1 with
fs = sampling frequency
Cia = ADC analog input capacitance
Rmux = analog mux resistance
Rsw = switch resistance
Cio = pin capacitance

Under nominal operating condition VDD = 3.3 V and with the maximum sampling
frequency fs = 400 kHz, the parameters assume the following values:
Cia = 1 pF (max)
Rmux = 2 kΩ (max)
Rsw = 1.3 kΩ (max)
Cio = 7.1 pF (max)
The effective input impedance with these parameters is Rin = 308 kΩ.
