60.1 Introduction

This chapter describes a common checklist which must be used when starting and reviewing the schematics for a SAM D5x/E5x design. It also illustrates recommended power supply connections, how to connect external analog references, programmer, debugger, oscillator, and crystal.

The chapter provides recommendations regarding low-power design constraints to minimize power consumption.

This information is not intended to be exhaustive. Its objective is to cover as many configurations of use as possible. Refer to the “Basic 32-Bit MCU Design and Troubleshooting Checklist” guide on the Microchip web site, www.microchip.com/.
