ATA6264 [Preliminary]
6. Power Supply Sequencing
(Only active when initial programming sets VVCORE = 1.88V and VVPERI = 3.3V)
In order to meet the requirements of several dual-voltage-supply microcontrollers, a
power-sequencing function is implemented. The ATA6264 ensures that the voltage difference
VPERI – VCORE will not exceed 2.8V.
The voltage difference between VPERI and VCORE is monitored. In error cases, for example, if
the VCORE regulator does not start to work, the difference may rise above the 2.8V threshold. In
this case, the VPERI regulator is switched off before reaching this level and switched on again if
the voltage difference drops below a hysteresis value.
Figure 6-1. Example for Incorrect Ramp Up
Necessary for operation:
VEVZ = 0V to 40V, VINT = 3.7V to 5.47V
Operating conditions of all other supply pins:
VK30, VVSAT, VVPERI and VVCORE are within functional range limits, Tj = –40°C to 150°C
Other pins:
As defined in Section 4. ”Functional Range” on page 8.
