8.7.2CORE Power
The example form factor reference design has a variable 0.8 V – 1.3 V core power supply for the applications processor. This voltage varies depending on the performance required by the application. A Linear Technologies LTC1878 buck converter is chosen for this application. The power is drawn directly from the Li+ battery. This device operates at 550 kHz and can supply up to 1 A at 0.8 V and 800 mA at 1.3 V with up to 95% efficiency. The device is turned on/off by the SA_PWR_EN signal directly from the applications processor.
The required output voltage is statically adjusted by selecting the value of the
8.7.3PLL Power
DC_PLL supplies power to the three PLLs within the applications processor. This pin requires a 0.85 V to 1.3 V nominal supply at an expected 20 mA load.
