Differential ADC voltage lower than VREF but VINP/VINN higher than VDD

Hi,

I'm using the ADC in differential mode with 0.6 V as reference and 1/6 as gain. This gives me an input range of 3.6 V.

Given is a voltage divider with R1 = 200 Ohms and R2 = 1000 Ohms. When 12 Volt are applied to this voltage divider this means that there is a voltage drop VR1 on R1 of VR1 = 12 V - 10 V = 2 V.

Question: can I measure the voltage drop on R1 in differential mode when connecting VINP and VINN to R1? Or do I damage my inputs?

Best Regards
