Analog Comparators
In each range, the internal reference, VIREF, has 16 pre-programmed thresholds or step values. The
threshold to be used to compare the external input voltage against is selected using the VREF field
in the ACREFCTL register.
In the high-range mode, the VIREF threshold voltages start at the ideal high-range starting voltage
of VDDA/3.875 and increase in ideal constant voltage steps of VDDA/31.
In the low-range mode, the VIREF threshold voltages start at:0V and increase in ideal constant voltage
steps of VDDA/23. The ideal VIREF step voltages for each mode and their dependence on the RNG
and VREF fields are summarized in Table 19-3 on page 934.

0 V (GND) for any value of VREF. It is recommended that RNG=1 and VREF=0 to minimize noise
on the reference ground.
