What make i wrong?

answer 1) is in the question ...

AN0 trough a 100k serie resistor

Look at the datasheet ... ADC section ...

Hello Acetronics

I want use a 100k serial resistor to reduce the possibility of descharge
the RTC backup Battery trough the PIC pin over the time.

About the value that i read in the adval variable, i don´t know if it's correct and how to calculate 3.1 V.

What if I use higher input resistance (> 2.5kOhm) than Microchip recommends in datasheet?

"The source impedance affects the offset voltage at the analog input (due to pin leakage current). The maximum recommended impedance for analog sources is 2.5 kΩ. After the analog input channel is selected (changed), the channel must be sampled for at least the minimum acquisition time before starting a conversion."

Internal leakage is ~100nA.

So, what if:
Rs = 100kOhm, V_ain = 5V -> I_in = 50uA
In this case leakage is 1/500 of input current. Should not affect too much.

By calculating Tc with 100kOhm I got 19.6uS, total time should be over 21uS

So, is code below OK or not?

This ADC is bit unclear to me and I would like to understand it better.
