2. An analog voltage comparator that compares Vin to the output of the internal DAC and
outputs the result of the comparison to the successive approximation register (SAR).
4. An internal reference DAC that, for comparison with VREF, supplies the comparator
with an analog voltage equal to the digital code output of the SARin.
