Bits 7:6 – REFSEL[1:0]: Reference Selection

Reference Selection

This bit field selects the Reference Voltage for the DAC.

Important: For the SAM L10/L11 devices, the 1.1V voltage reference typical value must be selected in case of an internal voltage reference (INTREF). Refer to the Supply Controller VREF register.
