Hi all,
I'm designing a board, using the SAR ADC of the PSoC4 with an external Vref of 2.5V. I'm measuring a 10k poty ranging from 0V to 2.5V when it's connected, that's all good. For information, the PSoC4 is powered in 5V (Vddio/Vddd/Vdda).
Although I'm having a question: is there a risk of damaging the ADC if the poty voltage exceeds 2.5V? I'm aware that the ADC will read full-scale for anything above 2.5V, but that's not an issue.
The reason is, when the poty gets disconnected, the pullup will pull the voltage up to the 5V rail. This is not a use case, so the measured value is garbage anyway, but I'm more concerned about potential risk to the device.
The following Vdd specs table makes me believe that it is not an issue
Thanks!
