1. RA2 (Port A, Pin 2):
   • This is the general-purpose I/O pin of Port A, which can be used as a digital input or output.
2. AN2 (Analog Channel 2):
   • This is the analog input channel 2, which can be used by the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) module to read analog voltages.
3. VREF- (Negative Reference Voltage for ADC):
   • This pin can serve as the negative reference voltage for the ADC. The ADC uses this voltage as a baseline to measure input voltages.
4. CVREF (Comparator Voltage Reference):
   • This function outputs the voltage reference for the comparator. The comparator module compares two input voltages and outputs a digital signal based on which input is higher.

• Digital I/O (RA2): You can set RA2 as a digital input to read a digital signal (e.g., button press) or as a digital output to control an external component (e.g., LED).
• Analog Input (AN2): If you need to measure analog signals, such as sensor outputs, you can use AN2 to read the voltage levels.
• ADC Reference (VREF-): For more accurate ADC conversions, you can provide an external reference voltage to the VREF- pin.
• Comparator Reference (CVREF): If you're using the on-chip comparator and need a reference voltage for comparison, you can use CVREF.

• For Digital I/O:
  • Set the appropriate TRIS register bit to configure the pin as an input $1$ or output $0$.
• For Analog Input:
  • Configure the ADCON1 or ADCON2 register to enable the analog function and select the correct voltage reference.
• For VREF-:
  • Configure the ADCON1 register to choose the voltage reference for the ADC.
• For CVREF:
  • Set the appropriate comparator module control register (CMCON) to enable and configure the comparator reference voltage.
