1. Not present on S32R372 141MAPBGA Package
2. To ensure optimum SAR ADC performance it is recommended to have a ground plane below the VDD_HV_ADCREF0/2
traces.
3. Internal regulation mode. When using external regulation mode, this domain can be tied to VDD_HV_PMU
4. The naming convention VDD_LV_LFASTPLL is equal to VDD_LV_DRFPLL. Not present on S32R372 141MAPBGA
Package
5. VDD_LV_IO_AURORA must be connected to the same voltage supply as VDD_LV_CORE. The supplies must be brought
up simultaneously.
6. Can be supplied from VDD_LV_CORE supply with filtering as recommended below.
Some of the supplies can be powered with different supply voltages. The internal voltage regulator supply,
VDD_HV_REG3V8, can be supplied with a voltage between 3.13 V and 5.5 V. See the device data sheet for specific
information and to learn what voltage ranges can be safely connected to the power pins.
shows all power domains and the suggested decoupling and/or filter capacitors for their corresponding pins. These
values are provided as a guideline and will vary depending on the application and capability of the power supplies used.
The decoupling capacitors must be placed as close as possible to the MCU supply pins, with priority given to those with the
smallest capacitance value.
