On a STM32L4R9 one of our designs wants the VSSSDI pin to be connected to ground through a capacitor (not directly connected to ground) when the DSI is not used. But in the datasheet it states that if DSI is not used it should be grounded?

Hello @DAndr.6,

Your question is not really clear, what designs are we talking about ?

but the Ref man clearly states :

Hope that helps!

Hi Sara,

Thanks for getting back to me. I am not allow to share to much but this is what is called and Active Electrical Cable (AEC) for QSFP. I see you pointed out that the VDDDSI pin but my email shows VSSSDI which should be VSSDSI. My mistake.

So my question is what should be done with the VSSDSI pin when DSI is not used?

Hello again @DAndr.6,

As it is clearly stated in RM0432 paragraph 5.1.4, if DSI functionality is not used at all, then VSSDSI pin must be grounded
