Oct 14, 2020 at 20:42 comment added Edgar Bonet @LindsayCox: No, it's 1024, although 1023 is a very widespread error, presumably because it's the highest reading you can get. According to the datasheet, “the maximum value represents the voltage on the AREF pin minus 1 LSB.” (emphasis mine) and “ADC = Vin ⋅ 1024 ÷ Vref”. The datasheet is the only authoritative source. Note that, given the uncertainty in Vbg, it doesn't really matter.
Oct 14, 2020 at 17:02 comment added Lindsay Cox wouldn't it be 1.1v x 1023 x 1000? the 1023 being the 10bit total value for the ADC?

+ explanation of the factor 1126400.
Oct 14, 2020 at 10:37 comment added the busybee You might add that 1126400 is 1024 * 1100, which is scaling the result, and why.
