ADVANCE INFORMATION
TI recommends connecting a combination of a 10-µF and a 0.1-µF low-ESR ceramic decoupling capacitor across the VDD and VSS pins, as well as placing these capacitors as close as possible to the supply pins that they decouple (within a few millimeters) to achieve a minimal loop area. The 10-µF bulk decoupling capacitor is a recommended value for most applications, but this capacitance can be adjusted if needed based upon the PCB design and application requirements. For example, larger bulk capacitors can be used, but this can affect the supply rail ramp-up time.
The NRST reset pin must be pulled up to VDD (supply level) for the device to release from RESET state and start the boot process. TI recommends connecting an external 47-kΩ pullup resistor with a 10-nF pulldown capacitor for most applications, enabling the NRST pin to be controlled by another device or a debug probe.
A 2.2-µF tank capacitor is required for the VCORE pin and must be placed close to the device with minimum distance to the device ground. Do not connect other circuits to the VCORE pin.
