I am trying to create a voltage divider to read a battery voltage of 2.5 - 3.8 V using a STM32L082KZ with a Vref of 1.8V. While calculating the required division to measure the range i wanted to include the influence the ADC measurement/loading has on my division but am unable to find a specification that shows this value.
My question is, how high is the ADC resistance loading? I can see it is a SAR ADC so i would expect only parasitic resistance, but is this in the order of tens of kilo ohms or mega ohms?
Solved! Go to Solution.

infomation is inside our datasheets and in particular in your case the impacting factor is the internal leakage as you are measuring a static voltage of battery that change very slowly. figure 29 - in range of 50nA ..
then you can put and select your right resistance values to minimize battery draw and have good accuracy of measurement.
Hope it helps you

Generally, it's on the order of 50 kOhm, but it depends.
If you are sampling quickly, it can be much less.
See details in the datasheet.
