Figure 41 and the components listed in Table 24 show an example of a high reliability power supply circuit,
where the module VCC is supplied by a step-down switching regulator capable of delivering to VCC pins the
specified maximum peak / pulse current, with low output ripple and with fixed switching frequency in PWM
mode operation greater than 1 MHz.
