STM32L476 Changing VRef for ADC precision

[Stm325]

Hi I want to sample low voltage signals with STM32L476 so I figured it would be a good option to reduce reference voltage and I found this part in the MCU datasheet: 

Now I am using ADC in dual mode and sampling 8 bit so it is not too precise for low voltages.

In ADC1 settings, there is a checkbox:

 

Is it enough to set it to shift Vref from 3.3 to 2.048 or how should I set my reference voltage to 2.048?

Also If I decide to use an external Vref can I just connect lets say 1V to Vref+ for MCU to change Vref for ADC to 1V from 3.3V.

VREFBUF is enabled in the SYS tab. VREFINT is and ADC channel and is not relevant here.

No, there are limits on VREF+, see datasheet.

Thank you for the quick reply. I checked the system thinking it might be under there but I cannot see VREF Buffer option.

Include your full chip part number and your IOC file if you can.

If the VDDA pin is tied to the VREF+ pin as it is on the nucleo board, the VREFBUF is unable to be used.
