On devices with VREGENZ, choosing between the internal and external voltage regulator can offer many challenges. Making use of the internal voltage regulator is the most cost-effective solution and should be used in systems where the cost of the design is of great importance. Additionally, in designs with limited board real estate, the internal voltage regulator remains a good solution.
An external supply should be used if power efficiency is deemed most critical. In power designs which utilize a buck converter or other DC/DC converter, increased noise may be present on the ADCs and HRCAPs.
On devices that have it, tie the internal voltage regulator enable pin (VREGENZ) to VSS (low) to make use of the device’s internal regulator. Otherwise, if one chooses to use an external voltage regulator, tie VREGENZ directly to VDDIO (high).
