Note: VDDCORE is not an input for an external power supply.
REG_36
VSW - Switching Regulator Mode (BUCK) Output -
Note: REG_X values: refer to Power Supply Electrical Specifications from the “Electrical Characteristics” chapter.
Important: The same voltage must be applied to VDD and AVDD. Refer to the Power-up and Power-down Considerations in the “Device Start-up” chapter for additional information.
CAUTION: Any and all I/O as well as digital alternate functions on AVDD analog cluster must be confined as inputs only.

Refer to the I/O PINMUX tables from Pinout and Packaging chapter for the list per package of pins powered by AVDD.

Note:The IOSET configurations for the concerned digital alternate output functions must also be considered, refer to the IOSET Configurations in the Pinout and Packaging chapter.
