Intel® IXF1104 4-Port Gigabit Ethernet Media Access Controller

4.7Power Supply Sequencing

Follow the power-up and power-down sequences described in this section to ensure correct IXF1104 MAC operation. The sequence described in Section 4.7 covers all IXF1104 MAC digital and analog supplies.

Caution: Failure to follow the sequence described in this section might damage the IXF1104 MAC.

4.7.1Power-Up Sequence

Ensure that the 1.8 V analog and digital supplies are applied and stable prior to application of the

2.5 V analog and digital supplies.

4.7.2Power-Down Sequence

Remove the 2.5 V supplies prior to removing the 1.8 V power supplies (the reverse of the power-up sequence).

Caution: Damage can occur to the ESD structures within the analog I/Os if the 2.5 V digital and analog supplies exceed the 1.8 V digital and analog supplies by more than 2.0 V during power-up or power-down.

Figure 5 and Table 19 provide the IXF1104 MAC power supply sequencing.
