4.1.4 Bypass Capacitor Recommendations

Table 5 lists the basic recommendations for bypass capacitors near the Tegra 250. In general, one 0.1uf per power pin (or
group for cores) is desirable. These should be placed as close as possible to the respective power pins. In addition, for the
higher power/higher frequency I/O rails one or more 4.7uf bulk capacitor is recommended and should be placed in the general
area of the power and interface pins.

Note:

4.1.5 Unused Interface Power Rails

The example also assumes that all the interfaces are to be used. If a design does not use any functions on one or more of the
interface blocks, the associated power rail does not need to be powered. For the correct handling of each of the rails in this
case, check the Unused Pin section under for the interface in this document. Generally, unused digital power rails can be left
unconnected or tied to ground while unused analog rails should be left unconnected.

4.1.6 Unused Power Management Signals

A few of the signals related to power management may not be required in some designs. This includes SYS_CLK_REQ and
CLK_32K_OUT. If not required, these pins can be configured as GPIOs instead. CORE_PWR_REQ may also not be needed in
all designs, but this pin does not have a GPIO option. If any of these pins are not used, either as their primary function or as a
GPIO (if available), they can be left unconnected.
