Hello ,

We are using an MCP9700 temperature monitor IC and feeding its output into the ADC pin (AD4) of the SAM3N00B microcontroller.
The MCP9700 only provides a maximum of 100uA output current, so is that enough to supply the current drawn by the ADC pin, or do i need to buffer the temperature monitor IC's output voltage?
