I'm trying to design my own pcb for the stm32f411 and when i saw the datasheet of the stm32f411 ( http://www.st.com/st-web-ui/static/active/en/resource/technical/document/datasheet/DM00115249.pdf ) and then the schematics for the stm32f411 nucleo board i was a little confused.
In pin 13 (Vref+), in the schematics there is an ferrite bead.I can't understand why it used in the Vref+ pin (since there isn't any mention to it in the datasheet not even the explanation of the Vref+ pin function.
Image is from ST schematics
So, my question is, for what the inductor is used in this application and is it really necessary?
Grateful

That bead seems unconnected by default, through solder bridge 57, which I suspect is normally open. If 57 is closed, it connects Vdd to AVdd, but prevents noise from Vdd hitting the analog ref by increasing high freq impedence.
