13.8Power Supply Sequencing

Due to ESD protection structures in the pads it is necessary to exercise caution when powering a device up or down. ESD protection devices behave as diodes between power supply pins and from I/O pins to power supply pins. Under extreme conditions it is possible to blow these ESD protection devices or trigger latch up. The recommended power supply sequencing follows:

1.) To prevent damage to the ESD protection on the device inputs the maximum DC input current specification must be respected. This is accomplished by either ensuring that the VDD power is applied before input pins are driven or by increasing the source impedance of the driver so that the maximum driver short circuit current is less than the maximum DC input current specification. (20 mA)

2.) QAVD power must be supplied either after VDD or simultaneously with VDD to prevent current flow through the ESD protection devices which exist between QAVD and VDD power supplies. To prevent forward biasing the ESD protection diode between QAVD supplies and VDD the differential voltage measured between these power supplies must be less than 0.5 volt. This recommended differential voltage is to include peak to peak noise on the VDD power supply as digital noise will otherwise be coupled into the analog circuitry. Current limiting can be accomplished by using an off chip three terminal voltage regulator supplied by a quiet high voltage supply.

3.) BIAS voltage must be supplied either before VDD or simultaneously with VDD to prevent current flow through the ESD protection devices which exist between BIAS and VDD power supplies.

4.) Analog power supplies (AVD, includes RAVDs, TAVDs but not QAVD) should be applied after QAVD, but can be applied at the same time as QAVD providing the 100ohm resistor in series with QAVD (shown in Figure 29 and Figure 30) is in place. The AVD supplies should also be current limited to the maximum latchup current specification (100 mA). To prevent forward biasing the ESD protection diode between AVD supplies and QAVD the differential voltage measured between these power supplies must be less than 0.5 volt. This recommended differential voltage is to include peak to peak noise on the QAVD and AVD power supplies as digital noise will
