In electronics, "3V3" typically refers to a 3.3-volt power rail or net in a circuit. Here's a breakdown of its role and significance:
  • Power Supply: The 3.3V rail provides power to components that operate at 3.3 volts. This is a common operating voltage for many modern digital components and integrated circuits, including microcontrollers and logic chips.
  • Voltage Regulation: In a circuit, a voltage regulator (e.g., a linear regulator or a buck converter) might produce the 3.3V supply from a higher input voltage, such as 5V or 12V.
  • Compatibility: Many ICs and modules are designed to operate at 3.3V due to low power consumption and compatibility with popular microcontroller architectures like ARM Cortex-M.
  • Decoupling: A decoupling capacitor is often connected to the 3.3V line and ground to stabilize the voltage and reduce noise or ripple on the power supply line.
If you want to connect the 3.3V line in your schematic, make sure it provides power to all components on the board that require a 3.3V supply, such as microcontrollers, sensors, and other ICs designed for this voltage. If you have a specific connection question, feel free to ask!

so if I want to add another 3v3 should I add a Terminal? and then how do I make it 3v3?
1y
Yes, if you want to add another point on your schematic where the 3.3V power can be accessed, you can add a terminal or a power symbol for the 3.3V rail. Here's how you can do it within Flux:
  1. Add a Terminal or Power Port:
    • Place a power port or terminal on your schematic.
    • Power ports are often represented by standardized symbols, such as a circle or a small rectangular box.
  2. Label the Terminal:
    • Label the terminal with "3V3" or "VDD_3V3" to indicate it's a 3.3V power connection.
    • This helps in maintaining clarity within the schematic.
  3. Connect to Existing 3.3V Net:
    • Connect the new terminal to the existing 3.3V net in your schematic to ensure it's electrically tied to the same power rail.
    • If a 3.3V regulator is utilized, ensure the terminal is on the output side of the regulator.
To connect it properly in your project, follow these steps:
  • Connections:
    • Connect the new terminal (let's call it 3V3_TERMINAL3V3\_TERMINAL) to the existing 3V3 net by tying it to a point where the 3.3V voltage source or net exists.
  • In your specific project, it seems the components involved with power might be:
    • U2U2 for the microcontroller, which needs power connections.
    • Check any power management ICs and ensure proper connection to 3V33V3.
If you're unsure about a specific part or connection, feel free to ask for more details or guidance!

To convert your STM32-based project to operate at 3.3V, you'll need to ensure a few things are set up correctly:
  1. Power Supply:
    • Make sure that any components drawing power from the main voltage rail are compatible with 3.3V.
    • Connect a 3.3V voltage regulator to your supply voltage if needed.
  2. Microcontroller Connections:
    • Ensure the U2:VDD and U2:VBAT pins are connected to a 3.3V supply.
    • Any other components, such as sensors or communication modules, should also be powered from this 3.3V supply if they support it.
  3. External Components:
    • Verify all your external components such as R1, C1, and X1 are suitable for 3.3V operation.
  4. Boot0 and Reset:
    • Ensure the BOOT0 pin is either pulled to GND or VDD depending on your boot configuration.
    • Connect your Reset circuitry to the proper voltage levels.
  5. IO Level Shifting:
    • If you have any peripherals that only operate at 5V, you may need level shifters to safely interface with the 3.3V STM32.
To connect the STM32 for 3.3V operation, follow these specific connections:
Please make sure to adjust component values if needed, and let me know if you have any specific configurations or questions!
