Voltage Regulator Pins (ENVREG
and VCAP/VDDCORE)
The on-chip voltage regulator enable pin, ENVREG,
must always be connected directly to either a supply
voltage or to ground. Tying ENVREG to VDD enables
the regulator, while tying it to ground disables the
for details on connecting and using the
on-chip regulator.
When the regulator is enabled, a low-ESR (< 5)
capacitor is required on the VCAP/VDDCORE pin to
stabilize the voltage regulator output voltage. The
VCAP/VDDCORE pin must not be connected to VDD and
must use a capacitor of 10 F connected to ground. The
type can be ceramic or tantalum. Suitable examples of
capacitors are shown in
Table 2-1. Capacitors with
equivalent specifications can be used.
equivalence of candidate devices.
It is recommended that the trace length not exceed
0.25 inch
(6 mm).
Refer
to
for additional information.
When the regulator is disabled, the VCAP/VDDCORE pin
must be tied to a voltage supply at the VDDCORE level.
information on VDD and VDDCORE.
Note that the “LF” versions of some low pin count
PIC18FJ parts (e.g., the PIC18LF45J10) do not have
the ENVREG pin. These devices are provided with the
voltage regulator permanently disabled; they must
always be provided with a supply voltage on the
VDDCORE pin.
