My bad! When I read a data sheet for an A/D converter, this is always a listed spec for the device. Why would this chart not be included with the A/D section? So I did RTFM for the A/D section from start to finish but this tid bit of info was 135 pages later.

The point is I have read many data sheets for a wide variety of devices from many companies and all have thier own 'flavor'. To simply tell someone to RTFM defeats the purpose of the user forum as a method of sharing information. If I was to ask " please write my code and draw me a schematic and layout", then TAK (take a hike) would be a good response. I agree with MACKRACKIT that if you are willing to make a reply, that a hint or clue to a page or section in the data sheet is so much more bennefitial to the poster and future readers than a RTFM. I believe, after reading may posts, that members are looking for help, advice, a point in the right direction, etc., not a handout, and certainly not an insult.

While I did fail to get 135 pages futher into the data sheet, I did read every section that pertained to my project, including data form the electrical charateristics about clock speed vs. current usage, etc.

Oh, skimask, thanks for letting me know where to find this information. Your post was better that what I got from Microchip!
