LCP11u14 ADC

I want to use the ADC on a LPC11u14 microprocessor. Now I found that it has a 10 bit resolution and has an input voltage of 0.0 - 3.6V. Now I have an analog sensor that outputs 0.3 - 3.0V, which means that I would loose around a third of my resolution. Is it possible to change the range of the ADC from 0.0 - 3.6V to 0.3 - 3.0V so that I make full use of the 10 bits resolution?

Isn't VREF = VDD :confused:  So your resolution depends on your VDD. If you choose 3.0V you lose only 10% ;)

No.

You can put an input amplifier which would translate your signal to the desired range.
