Hello.
The MCU of our new design will be the nRF52832.
I would like to know if it is ok to read the voltage of the battery that powers the system, nominal voltage of 3.6V, type Li-SoCl2, using a divisor with these higher values of resistors.
One advantage is the low cost.
3.6V / (0.82M + 0.82M) is just around 2.2uA. Another advantage.
Five time constants:
820K // 820K = 410K
5 * 1uF * 410K
5 * (1*10^-6) * (410*10^3) is around 2 seconds.
The battery voltage would be read each 3 seconds, or more, more than 3 seconds is also ok for the application.
And there is the 1uF capacitor, in order when the internal capacitor of the ADC needs to sample the voltage on the pin, there will be such 1uF capacitor charged on the analog pin. I could also try to place, in the PCB layout, this capacitor nearby the nRF52832 chip.
We would like to know if this circuit is fine for the nRF52832 analog reads.
