The BEAD should provide enough impedance (for example, 220Ω at 100MHz, rated current 200mA, that is, Murata BLM15BB221SN1D) for separating the digital power to the analog power.

External analog reference connections Atmel AVR XMEGA C proposes one ADC using internal references or an external analog reference (AREFA on PORTA). The following schematic checklist is only recommended if the design is using the external analog reference. If the internal reference is used, the circuit is not necessary.

ESR must be taken into consideration. Both values are specified by the crystal vendor. The Atmel AVR XMEGA C oscillator is optimized for very low power consumption, and thus when selecting crystals, see Table 3-3 for maximum ESR recommendations on 9pF and 12.5pF crystals.

The impedance of the USB differential data line pair is 90Ω to each other and 45Ω to ground. The termination of the line is included within the Atmel AVR XMEGA C device as serial resistors. To ensure proper signal integrity, the two D+/D- signals must be closely routed on the PCB (Refer to “AVR1017: XMEGA - USB Hardware Design...
