5.4.1.5 Topology 3: VCCIOPLL, VCCA and VSSA
VCCIOPLL and VCCA are isolated power for internal PLLs. It is critical that they have clean,
noiseless power on their input pins. Keep these signals away from noisy or high frequency signals.
Keep their traces as short as possible. Follow the recommendations in Figure 40 for layout
guidelines. VSSA should not be connected directly to ground on the system board. Further details
can be found in Section 11.4.
