Intel® PXA27x Processor Family Power Requirements 1.0 Introduction The Intel® PXA27x Processor Family (PXA27x processor) is a highly integrated system-on-chip optimized for handheld battery-powered devices such as PDAs and 2.5G or 3G cell phones. The PXA27x processor is ideal for products requiring substantial computing and multimedia capability with very low power consumption. The PXA27x processor combines a high-performance CPU with a variety of integrated peripheral functions. The process

Intel® PXA27x Processor Family Power Requirements The terms run mode and normal mode are used interchangeably, although normal mode comprises both the run-mode and turbo-mode settings. 2.0 Intel® PXA27x Processor Power Supply Domains Viewed externally, the main or backup battery powers ten power-supply domains. Additional supply domains are present internally, but power for these is derived from the external supply inputs. All functional units within a power domain connect to the same powe

Intel® PXA27x Processor Family Power Requirements 2.1 Power Domains and System Voltage/Current Requirements The following sections document the power requirements for the PXA27x processor, but do not include external support, memory, or other peripheral components. The power consumption values shown in Table 5 are all worst-case numbers. These numbers give the worst-case system power-supply requirements and do not reflect typical system power consumption. 2.1.1 Intel® PXA27x Processor Powe

Intel® PXA27x Processor Voltage Domains (Sheet 1 of 2) Voltage Description VCC_BATT BATTERY VOLTAGE: Voltage-limited power from the main battery, or directly from a backup battery, at nominal 3.0 V (±25%). VCC_BATT must be supplied to start the power manager. When the main battery is installed, VCC_BATT powers the real-time clock and power management circuitry during initial power-on, sleep, deep sleep and sleep wake-up, so it remain

The I/Os for external components connected to the corresponding signals on the PXA27x processor must be supplied from the same regulator. Driving VCC_BATT in this manner prevents forward- biasing of protection diodes

Intel® PXA27x Processor Family Power Requirements these supplies must come up at the required voltage to operate reliably and to avoid damage to the 1 external components. VCC_IO must be the highest potential of the system I/O supplies . VCC_IO can be connected to any of VCC_LCD, VCC_MEM, VCC_USIM, VCC_USB and VCC_BB, but none of these supplies can exceed VCC_IO. The power-up voltage requirement must be communicated by some input strapping mechanism on the PMIC if a PMIC can provide more t

Possible Backup Battery Configurations Backup Battery Description Connection VCC_BATT and PMIC The backup battery connects to both the VCC_BATT input and PMIC charging regulator (driven from the main battery or AC adaptor supply). Powering VCC_BATT from a battery directly eliminates the inefficiency of an external regulator in the PMIC, maximizing the battery life in sleep and deep sleep. In such a configuration, ensure that the req

Intel® PXA27x Processor Family Power Requirements 3.0 Intel® PXA27x Processor Low Power Operating Modes The PXA27x processor provides several low-power operating modes that temporarily suspend or power down the core or peripherals to reduce power consumption. The external power supplies are disabled in some modes. Transitions between certain domains require a sequence of events and handshakes between the PXA27x processor and the external power management integrated circuit (PMIC) that are d

It functions like an open-drain signal so either component can pull it down to a logic-low level. 2 4.5 System-Level Considerations for I C 2 Both I C signals have an alternate function on the PXA27x processor as GPIO signals. Following cold-start power-on or a hard reset, both signals default to the GPIO mode of
