4.6.2 MVIO with I3C and I2C support

Multi-Voltage I/O with I3C and I2C support

4.6.2.1 Introduction

The Multi-Voltage I/O (MVIO) feature allows a subset of the I/O pins to be powered by a different I/O voltage domain than the rest of the I/O pins. This eliminates the need of having external level shifters for communication or control of external components running on a different voltage level. The MVIO-capable I/O pads are supplied by a voltage applied to the VDDIOx power pin(s), while the regular I/O pins are supplied by the voltage applied to the VDD device power pin(s). This variant of the module has additional features to support limited operation in the 0.95V-1.62V range as well for low-voltage I3C and I2C data transfers.

Features

  • The MVIO capable I/O pads are powered by VDDIOx power pin(s)
  • The MVIO pins have a standard operating voltage range of 1.62V-5.5V. In addition, the MVIO on PIC18F-Q20 devices is customized to support a low-voltage operating range of 0.95V-1.62V for low-voltage Improved Inter-Integrated Circuit (I3C)® and Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) data transfers. Standard and Low Voltage operation is determined by the Configuration bits.
  • The VDDIOx supply can ramp up and down independently of the VDD supply
  • Customizable Buffer Selection for I3C and I2C/Peripheral Pin Select (PPS) modules
  • VDDIOx Supply Status bit
  • Interrupt for VDDIOx supply voltage
  • Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) channel for measuring VDDIOx supply voltage
