^{Layout Recommendations:}

^{Decoupling capacitors for power supply should be placed as close as possible to the chip pins.
Analog and digital grounds should be connected at a single point.
Crystal oscillators should be placed as close to the chip as possible, with guard rings arranged around them.
High-frequency signal lines should be kept away from analog sections.
Reserve test points for measuring key signals.}

^{This is the schematic diagram of the GD32F103RBT6 microcontroller, showing the internal architecture and functional modules of the chip. The following is a breakdown of the key parts:}

^{Core and Clock System}

^{ARM Cortex-M3: The central processing unit (CPU) of the microcontroller, operating at up to 108MHz, executing instructions and controlling overall system operation.}

^{Clock Sources:}

^{PLL (Phase-Locked Loop): Generates high-frequency clocks (up to 108MHz) by multiplying external or internal reference clocks, providing stable high-speed clocks for the CPU and other modules.}

^{HSE (High-Speed External Clock): External high-speed clock source, typically a 4-16MHz crystal oscillator, for precise reference timing.}

^{HSI (High-Speed Internal Clock): Internal high-speed clock source (typically ~8MHz), usable when no external clock is available.}

^{Power Management:}

^{LDO (Low-Dropout Regulator): Provides a stable 1.2V supply to the internal core.}

^{PDR/POR (Power-Down Reset/Power-On Reset): Resets the system during power-up or when voltage drops to abnormal levels, ensuring startup/recovery from a known state.}

^{LVD (Low-Voltage Detector): Monitors supply voltage. Triggers alerts or resets when voltage falls below a set threshold, preventing abnormal operation under low voltage.}

^{Memory and Bus System}

^{Flash Memory: Used for storing program code and constant data. The Flash Memory Controller manages access to the flash.}

^{SRAM (Static Random-Access Memory): Serves as the system’s runtime memory, storing temporary data and variables during program execution.}

^{Bus Bridges (AHB-to-APB Bridge 1/2): The Advanced High-performance Bus (AHB) is a high-speed bus, while the Advanced Peripheral Bus (APB) is a lower-speed bus for peripherals. These bridges enable communication between the high-speed AHB and low-speed APB peripherals.}
