Table 1. Power Supply Connections
Signal Name	Recommended Pin Connection	Description
V_DDIO	1.62V to 3.63V Decoupling/filtering capacitors 100 nF^(1,2) and 10 µF⁽¹⁾ Decoupling/filtering inductor 10 μH^(1,3)	Digital supply voltage
V_DDANA	1.62V to 3.63V Decoupling/filtering capacitors 100 nF^(1,2) and 10 µF⁽¹⁾ Ferrite bead⁽⁴⁾ prevents the V_DD noise interfering with V_DDANA	Analog supply voltage
V_DDCORE	0.9V to 1.2V typical Decoupling/filtering capacitors 100 nF^(1,2) and 1µF⁽¹⁾	Linear regulator mode: Core supply voltage output/external decoupling pin Switched regulator mode: Core supply voltage input, must be connected to V_DDOUT via inductor ⁽⁵⁾
V_DDOUT	Switching regulator mode: 10 µH inductor ⁽⁵⁾ Linear regulator mode: Not connected	On-chip Switching mode regulator output
GND		Ground
GND_ANA		Ground for the analog power domain

Notes:

1.These values are only given as a typical example.
2.Decoupling capacitors should be placed close to the device for each supply pin pair in the signal group, low ESR capacitors should be used for better decoupling.
3.An inductor should be added between the external power and the V_DD for power filtering.
4.A ferrite bead has better filtering performance compared to standard inductor at high frequencies. A ferrite bead can be added between the main power supply and V_DDANA to prevent digital noise from entering the analog power domain. The bead should provide enough impedance (for example, 50Ω at 20 MHz and 220Ω at 100 MHz) to separate the digital and analog power domains. Make sure to select a ferrite bead designed for filtering applications with a low DC resistance to avoid a large voltage drop across the ferrite bead.
