25.1.6 Error through Overload Conditions
An additional error can occur when overloading an analog input (such as channel D). In
this case, an additional leakage current exists between the analog input D and the
adjacent analog inputs D ± 1, affecting the conversion result of an analog input channel
D by an additional error AEL based on the additional sampled voltage V
AEL
(Analog Error
Leakage).

The coupling factor k
A
determines the physical relation of two adjacent analog inputs.
The resulting error AEL is given by:
