8.7.1.2 External Absolute Reference
If a stable external source is provided, the reference measurement point
can be any one of the channel selected pins from PB1 through PB4. In
this case, the reference reading can be taken by setting the MUX bit in
the AMUX which connects channel selection bus to the pin connected to
the external reference source. If the external reference is greater than
VDD –1.5 volts, then the DHOLD bit should be used to select the 1/2
divided input.
