The effective number of bits (ENOB) is only ~8.7. Originally designed to have an ENOB of 9+ bits, but silicon bugs lowered it.

There is also some noise from the Pi Pico power supply which could be a good thing if you're willing to average or filter over a large number of samples.

Should be noted that this only applies to the rp2040, the ADC silicon bugs were fixed in the rp2350.


That's what I'm using ATM. That ENOB number is ridiculous!
