The aim of this application note is to give users of the STR73x family devices a number of
recommendations on the HW circuitry connected to the main special pins. It covers the pins for power
supply (digital and analog), reset, crystal oscillator, the decoupling of the internal voltage regulator, boot
modes, test pin, RC oscillator biasing pin and the JTAG debug port.
Detailed reference design schematics of the STR730-EVAL board are also contained in this document
with descriptions of the main components, interfaces and modes.
All current STR73x devices are supplied with a nominal voltage of 5V. The power supply pins
are organized in VDD/VSS pairs around the chip and exceptionally all pins need to be properly
connected to the power supplies, VDD to 5V, VSS to GND. These connections including pads,
tracks and vias should have an impedance as low as possible. This is typically achieved with
thick track widths and preferably dedicated power supply planes in multi layer PCBs.
In addition, each VDD/VSS pair should be decoupled with ceramic capacitors which need to be
placed as close as possible to the appropriate pins or below the pins on the contrary side of the
PCB. Typical values are 10nF to 100nF, but exact values depend on the application needs. The
following figure shows the typical layout on such a VDD/VSS pair.

When full accuracy is needed, and depending on the noise rejection of the voltage regulator
used to supply the STR73x device, a low pass filter may be considered. As the pin is also used
as the ADC supply, the use of a serial resistor must be avoided to reduce the risk of offset error
generation. An EMI component from Murata is proposed instead.

decoupling with short connections is recommended and an
1.3 Decoupling of the internal voltage regulator V18
All existing STR73x derivates are supplied with a single external voltage of 5V. The additional
voltages needed are generated by internal charge pump circuits for the flash programming/
erasing and an internal linear voltage regulator which provides the 1.8V for the internal logic.
The output of the internal voltage regulator is connected to one or two pins V18, where an
external capacitance needs to be connected for decoupling/stabilization between the V18 pin
and VSS/GND. There are two important notes:
1.V18 is probably the most critical pin regarding EMC emissions. Therefore the external
capacitor(s) must be placed as close as possible (few mm) to the V18/VSS pair(s) or
below on the other side of the PCB. If this is done, a very good EMC performance can be
achieved.
2. Depending on the device, different capacitances are needed. The values mainly depend
on the type of the internal voltage regulator used. Please refer to the tables below which
cover the devices available or planned at the time of writing. In case of future devices
which are not covered by this application note please refer to the datasheet or contact your
support engineer.
The figure below shows the two affected pins (V18 and VBias) of the TQFP144 package as well
as the TQFP100 package. In order to support all devices with a single PCB design, it is
necessary to provide on both pins footprints for 10µF tantalum and 47-100nF ceramic
capacitors. The footprint for the ceramic capacitor on pin 64 should be reusable to be soldered
with a resistor instead for the biasing functionality. This may be achieved with 0805 or 0603
SMD footprints. Please refer to the tables below for the different component values and
assembly options depending upon the device derivate.

2.1 Crystal oscillator pins XTAL1, XTAL2
All current STR73x devices have an on-chip oscillator that allows the driving of external crystals
or resonators with a fundamental frequency of 4-8 MHz. The recommended circuitry for a
crystal is shown below. C1, C2 and R1 values depend greatly on the crystal type and
manufacturer. It is suggested that you ask your crystal supplier for the best values for these
components.
Figure 4.Recommended circuitry for crystal oscillator pins XTAL1 and XTAL2
XTAL1
Resistor R1 is recommended for feedback stability and has a value of around 1M
oscillator of STR73x devices has automatic gain control, there is no need to add a resistance in
series.
The values of the load capacitors C1 and C2 are also heavily dependent on the crystal type and
frequency. For best oscillation stability they normally have the same value. Typical values are in
the range from below 10pF up to 30pF. The parasitic capacitance of the board layout also
needs to be considered and typically adds a few pF to the component values.
In the PCB layout all connections should be as short as possible. Any additional signals,
especially those that could interfere with the oscillator, should be locally separated from the
PCB area around the oscillation circuit using suitable shielding.

2.2 On-chip RC oscillator and VBias pin
All devices of the STR73x family have an on-chip RC oscillator in addition to the main oscillator.
This on-chip RC oscillator is capable of running at either 2MHz or 32kHz.
●The default 2MHz mode requires no external components.
●The 32 kHz mode requires an external bias resistor of 1.3 MΩ from the VBias pin towards
GND.
Note:The oscillator frequencies can be adjusted through software after reset, where the reset
frequencies are around 2.34Mhz / 29Khz.

3 - Reset managementAN2156
3 Reset management
3.1 Reset pin nReset
All current STR73x devices are specified for a nominal voltage of 5V with a tolerance of ±10%,
thus between 4.5V and 5.5V. The external reset circuitry should apply a reset whenever the
supply voltage is outside this voltage supply range and only release it when inside the supply
range.
Being within the supply range of 5V ±10%, the absolute minimum duration of the hardware
reset pulse is 100µs, but it is recommended that the reset circuitry adds increased time margin,
e.g. 200µs.
Note:During power-on, a reset must be provided externally.
At power-on, the nRSTIN pin must be held low by an external reset circuit until V
is reached.

Figure 5 gives an example of the hardware implementation of the RESET circuit for STR73x
devices.
The STM1001 low-power CMOS microprocessor supervisory circuit is used to assert a reset
signal whenever the V
voltage falls below a preset threshold or whenever a manual reset is
