The same voltage must be applied to both VDDIO and VDDANA. This common voltage is referred to as
VDD in the datasheet.
The ground pins, GND, are common to VDDCORE, and VDDIO. The ground pin for VDDANA is
GNDANA.
For decoupling recommendations for the different power supplies, refer to the schematic checklist.

Voltage Regulator
The SAM L22 internal Voltage Regulator has four different modes:
•
Linear mode : This is the default mode when CPU and peripherals are running. It does not require
an external inductor.
•
Switching mode. This is the most efficient mode when the CPU and peripherals are running. This
mode can be selected by software on the fly.
•
Low Power (LP) mode. This is the default mode used when the chip is in standby mode.
•
Shutdown mode. When the chip is in backup mode, the internal regulator is off.
Note that the Voltage Regulator modes are controlled by the Power Manager.

Typical Powering Schematic
The SAM L22 uses a single supply from 1.62V to 3.63V.
