Hi
Do QUAD SPI require power on the VDDXSPI power pins?
ADCs, what is the voltage reference buffer, VREF+ and VREF- , voltages? Can the internal reference buffer be used if VDDA is 3.3V and I want full scale 0-3.3V ADC conversion range?

Hello,
1- According to the AN5935 "Getting started with STM32H7Rx/7Sx MCUs hardware development" / Table 4:
Normally you need to power supply the XSPI IOs no matter the memory configuration, QSPI etc .. It's more related to the memory power domain:
2- The internal reference buffer (VREFBUF) in STM32 cannot provide a 3.3V reference; its maximum is typically 2.5V.
From the reference manual RM0477:

Yes.

No, the highest voltage selected by VREFBUF is 2.5 V. If you want the full range, either connect VREF+ to VDDA or create your own 3.3V voltage reference. Note that VREF+ can't be above VDDA. VREF- must be connected to VSSA.
