We are designing a benchtop device with an LCD, battery, and wireless capabilities and have chosen the STM32H7A3ZIT6 MCU and ST67W611M WiFi/BT SoC. It's intended to use TouchGFX for the graphics. The board is complete and ready to order but I'd like a review of the hardware and schematic beforehand if possible as re-ordering and re-assembly with a mistake would take a while.
MCU schematic:
Power Section of MCU
Signals of MCU
The schematic symbol was manually created with the nucleo hardware files as reference.
MCU PCB:
PCB routing for MCUThe yellow plane is a 3v3 digital power pour. USB is the differential signal coming from the top left of the MCU. Most of the signals are going to the LCD connector to the right. I have placed capacitors on pins as follows:
Pin | Label | Capacitor |
6 | VBAT | None, connected to 3v3d |
30 | VDD_5 | 4.7uF |
32 & 33 | VDDA & VREFP | Tied together. 100nF and 1uF |
39, 52, 62, 72, 84, 108, 144 | VDD_7, VDD_9, VDD_11, VDD_16, VDD_2, VDD_13 | Separate. 100nF |
71, 106 | VCAP1 & VCAP2 | Tied together. 2.2uF near each pin. |
95 | VDD33_USB_1 | 100nF and 1uF |
131 | VDD_26 | 100nF in parallel with 100nF |
It is unclear to me exactly which of these are necessary. For example why pin 131 needs parallel 100nF capacitors as in the nucleo hardware.

Thanks for any help
