The DAC needs the reference voltage to function, so it cannot generate it.

thanks for reply

if i connect dac channal output to adc ref+ what will happen is that any problem.

can we set that dac take vdd as reference and adc take vref+ as reference

in that situation dac output will also vary because dac reference also vary????

That makes no sense, because Vdd would make a very poor reference. There is a reason why the analog and digital signals are separated.

Try to : Read vref - set dac low value - read dac output with the same adc but different channel - compare with vref - increase dac value untill it matches vref?

connect output of dac to input of adc

It can be done externally with an op-amp.

But I see no real benefit to this
