I would like to know what is the maximal resolution of 16-bit Sigma Delta ADC on STM32F3 line of microcontrollers when used in single ended mode? Can it achieve full 16-bit resolution, 0-65535, in SE mode?

Hi laketic.milan.001,

The SDADC in STM32F37x devices supports 2 single-ended modes:

Single-ended offset mode: is like differential mode with minus pin grounded, so in this mode we lost half of the range and the resolution is 15 bits.
Single-ended zero reference mode: the full positive/negative dynamic range is maintained so the resolution is 16 bits.

You may get more details on these 2 modes in
