those ADC spikes were interesting

"The DNL excursions in the RP2040’s ADC are caused by the binary-weighted capacitors for the nine least significant bits being approximately 0.8% too large. The 3rd most significant bit is about 0.85% too small." https://pico-adc.markomo.me/INL-DNL/#why-does-the-dnl-spike

I wasn't aware that capacitors were part of the SAR, I thought they all used resistors, apparently either or both are used?

. I guess you'd have to calibrate the linearity any time you used one of these, even if it wasn't as far off as this silicon
