Power Supply for STM32F030 Cortex TSSOP20 VDDA and VDD pin

Please i need help.

The datasheet, says the VDDA voltage level must be always greater or equal to the VDD voltage level
and must be provided first.

My qustion is: will my circuit work, if I tie the VDDA and VDD together, to be powered by the same  LDO DC-DC converter?

 

Thanks in advance.

Indeed it does:

However, Application note AN4080Getting started with STM32F0x1/x2/x8 hardware development, does say that it is OK to connect VDDA and VDD together to a single supply:

@STTwo-32 so it does seem that the datasheet wording is a bit misleading ...

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.

Yes, if you tie VDD and VDDA together, then they are equal, and that satisfies the condition. That is the most common configuration.

Thank you all for your swift help.

I'll proceed with the design and share my finding after the circuit is build.
