How to use the VREFINT as Vref for adc?

Hi, I'm using stm32l432kb and I want to use the internal reference voltage Vrefint as reference voltage for the AD converter. Is this possible?

Regards

No, VREFINT is not available as a VREF source. It's not a particularly accurate reference anyway. And it's below the allowable range.

You can use VREFBUF, or VDDA. (Can't use VREFBUF as VREF+ is tied to VDDA.)

No it's designed for you to measure and dereference the reported values vs the range of the ADC. Using a voltage that is "known"

Basically ratios, so elementary school type math involved.
