26.3 Functional Description
The Voltage Reference is a bandgap buffer system. Unity gain amplifiers are used.
The VREF_OUT signal can be used by both internal and external peripherals in low and
high power buffer mode. A 100 nF capacitor must always be connected between
VREF_OUT and VSSA if the VREF is being used.
The following table shows all possible function configurations of the Voltage Reference.
