Using Ferrite Bead for VDDA pin

Asraful

I am trying to design a dev board using stm32 mcu but the issue is I cannot select a ferrite bead I know some basics of ferrite bead but what should I consider from my mcu’s side to select a ferrite bead for it can anyone help me about this or is there any application notes for this

The bead should isolate VDDA from high frequency disturbance from outside. So it should have a high Z at low frequency, with sensibile voltage drop caused by the DC resistance and acceptable drop in Z caused by the current through the bead saturating the ferrite. Fot higher frequencies, Z gets more resistive, so it gets harder to for a LC tank by the bead and capacitance bt decoupling C, the traces etc. and ferit beads are used and not normal inductivities.

I used Murata 603 (inch) size ferrite beads on my board (I assume and trust that you are talking about surface mount ferrite beads and not the ones you pass a wire through). There seemed to be more application notes around years ago when I was first designing stuff, but I did find the following that could be interesting.

And here is info at the Murata site:

Thanks for the info but my issue is what should I consider suppose I going to design a board with stm32f446re
