Atmel-11057C-ATARM-SAM3X-SAM3A-Datasheet_23-Mar-15
Notes: 1. A 10 µF or higher ceramic capacitor must be connected between VDDIN and the closest GND pin of the device.
This large decoupling capacitor is mandatory to reduce startup current, improving transient response and noise rejection.
2. To ensure stability, an external 4.7 µF output capacitor, CD
OUT
must be connected between the VDDOUT and the closest
GND pin of the device. The ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) of the capacitor must be in the range 0.5–10 Ω.
Solid tantalum, and multilayer ceramic capacitors are all suitable as output capacitor.
A 100 nF bypass capacitor between VDDOUT and the closest GND pin of the device decreases output noise and improves
the load transient response.
3. Defined as the current needed to charge external bypass/decoupling capacitor network.
