The USB peripheral has its own voltage regulator. When using the USB peripheral, a 5 V USB supply needs to be provided on the VBUS pin.

The USB peripheral has a dedicated internal voltage regulator for converting the VBUS supply to 3.3 V to be used by the USB signalling interface (D+ and D- lines, and pull-up on D+). The rest of the USB peripheral (USBD) is supplied through the main supply like other on-chip features. As a consequence, both VBUS and combinations of VDDH and VDD are required for USB peripheral operation. For details on configuring the main supplies, see Power supply modes and regulators.

When VBUS rises into its valid range, the software is notified through the USBDETECTED event. The USBREMOVED event is sent when VBUS goes below its valid range. Use these events to implement the USBD startup sequence described in USBD power-up sequence.

When VBUS rises into its valid range while the device is in System OFF, the device resets and transitions to System ON mode. The RESETREAS register will have the VBUS bit set to indicate the source of the wakeup.

See VBUS detection specifications for the voltage level where events are sent (VBUS,DETECT and VBUS,REMOVE) or where the system causes a wakeup from System OFF (VBUS,DETECT).

When the USBD peripheral is enabled through the ENABLE register and VBUS is detected, the regulator is turned on. A USBPWRRDY event is sent when the regulator's worst case settling time has elapsed, indicating to the software that it can enable the USB pull-up to signal a USB connection to the host.

The software can read the state of the VBUS detection and regulator output readiness at any time through the USBREGSTATUS register.

To ensure stability, the input and output of the USB regulator need to be decoupled with a suitable decoupling capacitor CVBUS. See Reference circuitry for the recommended values.
