8.3.2.1 Power-up Considerations

At power-up, from a supply sequencing perspective, the SAMA5D2 LPDDR2 SIP power supply inputs are categorized into two groups:

  • Group 1 (core group) contains VDDCORE, VDDUTMIC, VDDHSIC and VDDPLLA.
  • Group 2 (periphery group) contains all other power supply inputs except VDDFUSE.
    The figure below shows the recommended power-up sequence. Note that:
    • VDDBU, when supplied from a battery, is an always-on supply input and is therefore not part of the power supply sequencing. When no backup battery is present in the application, VDDBU is part of Group 2.
    • VDDFUSE is the only power supply that may be left unpowered during operation. This is possible if and only if the application does not access the Customer Fuse Matrix in Write mode. It is good practice to turn on VDDFUSE only when the Customer Fuse Matrix is accessed in Write mode, and to turn off VDDFUSE otherwise.
