Typical Powering Schematics
The SAM3U product has several types of power supply pins:
Ground pins GND are common to VDDCORE and VDDIO pins power supplies.
Separated ground pins are provided for VDDBU, VDDPLL, VDDUTMI and VDDANA. These
ground pins are respectively GNDBU, GNDPLL, GNDUTMI and GNDANA.
The SAM3U embeds a voltage regulator that is managed by the Supply Controller.
This internal regulator is intended to supply the internal core of SAM3U but can be used to sup-
ply other parts in the application. It features two different operating modes:
For adequate input and output power supply decoupling/bypassing, refer to “Voltage Regulator”
in the “Electrical Characteristics” section of the product datasheet.
The SAM3U supports a 1.8V-3.6V single supply mode. The internal regulator input connected to
the source and its output feed VDDCORE.

• VDDCORE pins: Power the core, the embedded memories and the peripherals; voltage
• VDDIO pins: Power the Peripherals I/O lines; voltage ranges from 1.62V to 3.6V.
• VDDIN pin: Powers the Voltage regulator
• VDDOUT pin: It is the output of the voltage regulator.
• VDDBU pin: Powers the Slow Clock oscillator and a part of the System Controller; voltage
• VDDPLL pin: Powers the PLL A, UPLL and 3-20 MHz Oscillator; voltage ranges from 1.62V
• VDDUTMI pin: Powers the UTMI+ interface; voltage ranges from 3.0V to 3.6V, 3.3V nominal.
• VDDANA pin: Powers the ADC cells; voltage ranges from 2.0V to 3.6V.
• In Normal mode, the voltage regulator consumes less than 700 µA static current and draws
• In Shutdown mode, the voltage regulator consumes less than 1 µA while its output is driven
