This allows external monitoring of the internal bandgap reference or the ability to use an external reference input for
the ADC, or the option to filter the internal VREF output before feeding back as VREF,ADC input. The internally generated
VREF is a trimmed as ADC reference with a nominal value of 1.22V. When using an external VREF,ADC input, it may have
any value between 0V and VBATT. Simply substitute the external value for 1.22 V in the ADC conversion calculations.
