Typical Powering Schematics
SAM3N
The SAM3N product has several types of power supply pins:
The SAM3N embeds a voltage regulator that is managed by the Supply Controller.
This internal regulator is intended to supply the internal core of SAM3N. 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 datasheet.
The SAM3N supports a 1.62V-3.6V single supply mode. The internal regulator input connected
to the source and its output feeds VDDCORE.
As VDDIN powers the voltage regulator and the ADC/DAC, when the user does not want to use
the embedded voltage regulator, it can be disabled by software via the SUPC (note that it is dif-
ferent from Backup mode).
• VDDCORE pins: Power the core, including the processor, the embedded memories and the

• VDDPLL pin: Powers the PLL, the Fast RC and the 3 to 20 MHz oscillators. Voltage ranges
