5.1 Power supplies
The STM32L4x devices require a 1.71 V to 3.6 V V
DD
operating voltage supply. Several
independent supplies (V
DDA
, V
DDIO2
, V
DDUSB
, V
LCD
), can be provided for specific
peripherals:
• V
DD
= 1.71 V to 3.6 V
V
DD
is the external power supply for the I/Os, the internal regulator and the system
analog such as reset, power management and internal clocks. It is provided externally
through VDD pins.
• V
DDA
= 1.62 V (ADCs/COMPs) / 1.8 V (DACs/OPAMPs) to 2.4 V (VREFBUF) to 3.6 V
V
DDA
is the external analog power supply for A/D converters, D/A converters, voltage
reference buffer, operational amplifiers and comparators. The V
DDA
voltage level is
independent from the V
DD
voltage and should preferably be connected to V
DD
when
these peripherals are not used.
• V
DDUSB
= 3.0V to 3.6V
V
DDUSB
is the external independent power supply for USB transceivers. The V
DDUSB
voltage level is independent from the V
DD
voltage and should preferably be connected
to V
DD
when the USB is not used.
• V
DDIO2
= 1.08 V to 3.6 V
V
DDIO2
is the external power supply for 14 I/Os (Port G[15:2]). The V
DDIO2
voltage level
is independent from the V
DD
voltage and should preferably be connected to V
DD
when
PG[15:2] are not used.
• V
LCD
= 2.5 V to 3.6 V
The LCD controller can be powered either externally through VLCD
pin, or internally
from an internal voltage generated by the embedded step-up converter. VLCD is
multiplexed with PC3 which can be used as GPIO when the LCD is not used.
• V
BAT
= 1.55 V to 3.6 V
V
BAT
is the power supply for RTC, external clock 32 kHz oscillator and backup registers
(through power switch) when V
DD
is not present.
• V
REF-, VREF+
V
REF+
is the input reference voltage for ADCs and DACs. It is also the output of the
internal voltage reference buffer when enabled.
When V
DDA
< 2 V V
REF+
must be equal to V
DDA
.
When V
DDA
2V V
REF+
must be between 2 V and V
DDA
.
V
REF+
can be grounded when ADC and DAC are not active.
The internal voltage reference buffer supports two output voltages, which are
configured with VRS bit in the VREFBUF_CSR register:
–V
REF+
around 2.048 V. This requires V
DDA
equal to or higher than 2.4 V.
–V
REF+
around 2.5 V. This requires V
DDA
equal to or higher than 2.8 V.
VREF- and VREF+ pins are not available on all packages. When not available, they are
bonded to VSSA and VDDA, respectively.
