Max input ADC below Vss F411

I was wondering what the negative input can be on an ADC pin.

We have an analog signal that can be very rare -38mV for a short moment.

In the datasheet page 60 of the F411 i can only find Absolute maximum ratings: Input voltage on FT and TC pins VSS â€“0.3

So it looks I'm within the marge, is that correct ?

There is, at least in my F40x datasheet, and additional column ''Unit'', which says ''V''.

That means -300mV, so -38mV is in limits.

However, protective measures are probably advisable.

For small and low power negative surges, a schottky diode might be sufficient.
