VDD 1.2-V Digital Logic Power Pins. TI recommends placing a decoupling capacitor near each VDD pin with a minimum total capacitance of approximately 20 µF. The exact value of the decoupling capacitance should be determined by your system voltage regulation solution. F9, F10, G6, J11, K8, K9 16, 76, 117, 137, 169 F5, F7, G9, J9 8, 45, 63, 78, 95
VDD3VFL 3.3-V Flash power pin. Place a minimum 0.1-µF decoupling capacitor on each pin. Connect this pin to 3.3-V supply. R11, T11 72 M8 44
VDDA 3.3-V Analog Power Pins. Place a minimum 2.2-µF decoupling capacitor to VSSA on each pin. Connect this pin to 3.3-V supply. N1, T6 36, 54 L2, M5 18, 35
VDDIO 3.3-V Digital I/O Power Pins. Place a minimum 0.1-µF decoupling capacitor on each pin. Connect this pin to 3.3-V supply. B1, E15, G7, G8, H5, J5, J10, K7, K10, T15 3, 15, 68, 75, 88, 91, 99, 114, 127, 138, 152, 168 C13, F4, F6, F8, H9, J8 7, 41, 55, 62, 70, 79, 94
VDDOSC Power pins for the 3.3-V on-chip crystal oscillator (X1 and X2) and the two zero-pin internal oscillators (INTOSC). Place a 0.1-μF (minimum) decoupling capacitor on each pin. Connect this pin to 3.3-V supply. G15 120 E11 65

VSSOSC Crystal oscillator (X1 and X2) ground pin. When using an external crystal, do not connect this pin to the board ground. Instead, connect it to the ground reference of the external crystal oscillator circuit. If an external crystal is not used, this pin may be connected to the board ground. F15 122 E12 67
