REG_36
VDDIOBVSS

Powers I/O B lines. Voltage is 1.71V to 3.63V. VDDIOB voltage level must be equal or lower than VDD.

Note: Only available on the SG41 devices.
1.71V to 3.63V
VSW-Switching Regulator Mode (BUCK) Output -
Note: For REG_X values, refer to the 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 the AVDD analog cluster must be confined as inputs only.

Refer to the I/O PINMUX tables from the Chapter Pinout and Packaging for a list of 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.
