AV
CC
AV
CC
 is the supply voltage pin for the A/D Converter, PC3:0, and ADC7:6. It should be externally connected to 
V
CC
, even if the ADC is not used. If the ADC is used, it should be connected to V
CC
 through a low-pass filter. 
Note that PC6...4 use digital supply voltage, V
CC
.
1.1.8
AREF
AREF is the analog reference pin for the A/D Converter.
