 I have a basic question, i want to know what are the right value to use with the nrf51422 chip for the resistors with ADC. 
 I want to use the maximum value permitted for reducing consumption, say for example two resistors of 100 MOhms each</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Mon, 19 Sep 2016 16:30:49 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/16520/right-value-for-resistor-divider-input-adc" /><item><title>RE: right value for resistor divider input ADC</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/63190?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 19 Sep 2016 16:30:49 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:7918328d-033f-454d-ba14-0f4d3700576e</guid><dc:creator>Carsten Wulff</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;You will not get a 1/2 without a capacitor. The capacitor is required to limit the voltage change during conversion. To calculate the voltage change you first need to know the current. The current will be I = (Vin-0.6)/398k. Then the voltage change will be dV = I x conversion_time/capacitance.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then you need to check the settling time of the RC, but with 10min between samples it should be possible with large R.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
