12.5.3 Voltage Regulators (AVREG, DVREG)
8266B-MCU Wireless-03/11
The main features of the Voltage Regulator blocks are:
• Bandgap stabilized 1.8V supply for analog and digital domain;
• Low dropout (LDO) voltage regulator;
• Configurable to use an external voltage regulator;
The internal voltage regulators supply a stabilized voltage to the ATmega128RFA1. The
AVREG provides the regulated 1.8V supply voltage for the analog section and the
DVREG supplies the 1.8V supply voltage for the digital section. The DVREG is enabled
during startup and is switched off if the power-chain is disabled. The AVREG is enabled
only on request by either the A/D converter or the radio transceiver.
A simplified schematic of the internal voltage regulator is shown in
Figure 12-4. Simplified Schematic of AVREG/DVREG
The voltage regulators require bypass capacitors for stable operation. The value of the
bypass capacitors determines their settling time. The bypass capacitors shall be placed
as close as possible to the pins and shall be connected to ground with the shortest
possible traces.
The voltage regulators can be configured with the register VREG_CTRL. It is
recommended to use the internal regulators but it is also possible to supply the low
voltage domains by an external voltage supply. For this configuration the internal
analog voltage regulator needs to be switched off by setting the register bit
AVREG_EXT = 1 (see

voltage has to overdrive the internal voltage. A regulated external supply voltage of
1.8V must then be connected to the pins 13, 14 (DVDD) and pin 29 (AVDD). When
turning on the external supply ensure a sufficiently long stabilization time before
interacting with the ATmega128RFA1.
The status bits AVDD_OK = 1 and DVDD_OK = 1 of register VREG_CTRL indicate an
enabled and stable internal supply voltage. Reading value 0 indicates that the internal
supply voltage is disabled or not yet settled to the final value.
In case the the ATmega128RFA1 is not supplied with a sufficient (D)EVDD and the
digital voltage regulator output voltage is too low, a power on reset (POR) is initiated.
This is implemented with revision F, the register VERSION_NUM must be equal or
greater than REV_F (see
