1. Power Supplies
1.1 Power supply connections
All power supply pins of the device must be connected to the microcontroller supply.
Both VCC (digital) and AVCC (analog) must be connected to the same microcontroller positive supply, thus ensuring that
they both share an identical supply profile. Likewise both ground pins must be connected to the same microcontroller
ground reference supply.
Figure 1-1. Power supply schematic.
Table 1-1. Power supply checklist.
Signal name Recommended pin connection Description
VCC
1.6V to 3.6V
Decoupling/filtering capacitors 100nF (1)(2) and 10µF (1)
Decoupling/filtering inductor 10µH (1)(3)
Digital supply voltage
AVCC
1.6V to 3.6V
Decoupling/filtering capacitors 100nF (1)(2) and 10µF (1)
Ferrite bead (4) prevents the VCC noise interfering the AVCC
Analog supply voltage
GND Ground
Notes: 1. These values are given only as a typical example (that is, ceramic capacitors: 100nF, SMD 0402, X7R,
16V and 10µF, SMD1206, X5R, 6.3V) (that is, inductor: 10µH, 1.2A).
2. Decoupling capacitor should be placed close to the device for each supply pin pair in the signal group, low
ESR caps should be used for better decoupling.
3. Wire wound inductor should be added between the external power and the VCC for power filtering.
4. Ferrite bead has better filtering performance than the common inductor at high frequency. It can be added
between VCC and AVCC for preventing digital noise from entering the analog power. The BEAD should
provide enough impedance (for example, 220Ωat 100MHz, rated current 200mA, that is, Murata
BLM15BB221SN1D) for separating the digital power to the analog power.

1.2 External analog reference connections
Atmel AVR XMEGA E proposes one ADC using internal references or an external analog reference (AREFA on PORTA
or AREFD on PORTD).
The following schematic checklist is only recommended if the design is using the external analog reference. If the
internal reference is used, the circuit is not necessary.
Figure 1-2. External VREF schematic.
Table 1-2. External analog reference checklist.
Signal name Recommended pin connection Description
AREFA 1.0V to AVCC-0.6V for ADC
Decoupling/filtering capacitors 100nF (1)(2) and 4.7µF (1) External reference from AREF pin on PORT A
AREFD 1.0V to AVCC-0.6V for ADC
Decoupling/filtering capacitors 100nF (1)(2) and 4.7µF (1) External reference from AREF pin on PORT D
GND Ground
Notes: 1. These values are given only as a typical example.
2. Decoupling capacitor should be placed close to the device.
2. External Reset Circuit
The external reset circuit is connected to /RESET pin only if the external reset function is used.
Figure 2-1. External reset circuit example schematic.

Signal name Recommended pin connection Description
______
RESET
Reset low level threshold voltage
VCC = 2.7 - 3.6V: Below 0.45 × VCC
VCC = 1.6 - 2.7V: Below 0.42 × VCC (VCC = 2.7V included)
Reset pin
Notes: The pull-up resistor makes sure that reset does not go low unintended. When the PDI programming and
debugging is used, the reset line is used as clock. The reset pull-up should be 10kΩor weaker, or be
removed.
The pull-down resistor prevents from overvoltage on the RESET pin when the switch is pressed.
Any reset capacitors should be removed if PDI programming and debugging is used. Other external reset
sources should be disconnected.
3. Clocks and Crystal Oscillators

3.2 Crystal oscillator
Figure 3-2. Crystal oscillator example schematic.
Table 3-2. Crystal oscillator checklist.
Signal name Recommended pin connection Description
XTAL1 Load capacitor 15pF (1)(2)
External crystal between 0.4MHz to 16MHz
XTAL2 Load capacitor 15pF (1)(2)
Notes: 1. These values are given only as a typical example. Please refer to the crystal datasheet to determine the
capacitor value for the crystal used or refer to the application note “AVR1003: Using the XMEGA Clock
System”.
2. Load capacitors should be placed close to the device and crystal pins.
3.3 Real-time oscillator
The low-frequency crystal oscillator is optimized for use with a 32.768kHz watch crystal. When selecting crystals, load
capacitance and crystal’s equivalent series resistance, ESR must be taken into consideration. Both values are specified
by the crystal vendor.
The Atmel AVR XMEGA E oscillator is optimized for very low power consumption, and thus when selecting crystals,
see Table 3-3 for maximum ESR recommendations on 9pF and 12.5pF crystals.
Table 3-3. Maximum ESR recommendation for 32.768kHz watch crystal.
Crystal CL [pF] Maximum ESR [kΩ] (1)
9.0 65
12.5 30
Note: 1. Maximum ESR is typical value based on characterization.
The low-frequency crystal oscillator provides an internal load capacitance of typical 3.0pF. Crystals with recommended
3.0pF load capacitance can be without external capacitors as shown in Figure 3-3.

capacitor value for the crystal used or refer to the application notes “AVR1003: Using the XMEGA Clock
System” and “AVR4100: Selecting and testing 32kHz crystal oscillators for Atmel AVR microcontrollers”.

5. TWI Interface
Figure 5-1. TWI interface example schematic.
The TWI module in XMEGA devices follows the electrical specifications and timing of I2C bus and SMBus.
The two lines are open-collector lines (wired-AND), and pull-up resistors (Rp) are the only external components needed
to drive the bus.
Table 5-1. TWI interface checklist.
Signal name Recommended pin connection Description
SCL
This pull-up resistor is mandatory on the TWI bus topology since this
line is open-collector line. The value of pull-up resistor Rp will depend
on the SCL frequency:
(fSCL ≤100kHz, fSCL ≤400kHz, fSCL ≤1MHz).
Refer to chapter Two-wire interface characteristics in the datasheet
for choosing the right value.
SCL serial clock line
SDA
This pull-up resistor is mandatory on the TWI bus topology since this
line is open-collector line. The value of pull-up resistor Rp will depend
on the SCL frequency:
(fSCL ≤100kHz, fSCL ≤400kHz, fSCL ≤1MHz).
Refer to chapter Two-wire interface characteristics in the datasheet
for choosing the right value.
