ADC leakage on LPC2148....?

2006-02-08 by myfriendmarkis

I'm using the LPC2148 and have a serious problem. I'm using one of the 
ADC channels to measure battery voltage (across 2AA cells). When the 
microcontroller is off there is a current drain path from the 
batteries through the ADC which flattens the batteries in a few days 
with the board off.... 

The input impedance of the ADC is shown as 20k ohms so it is not 
possible to put a large resistor in series... Please can you help?
