2.2.1 Requirements

In the section Recommended Power Supply Sequencing of the chapter “Electrical Characteristics” in the SAMA7G5 Series data sheet, refer to the figures “Recommended Power Sequence at Power-up” and “Recommended Power Sequence at Power-down” for the applicable power supply sequencing.

The Power-up Timing Specification table shows the following:

  • There should not be a delay of more than 0.2 ms between the establishment of VDDIN33 and the establishment of VBAT.
  • The VDDIN33 rail and periphery group can be established at the same time, or the VDDIN33 rail can be established before the periphery group.
  • The periphery group and the core group can be established at the same time, or the periphery group can be established before the core group.
  • The NRST signal should be held low for at least 8 ms after the last established supply group.

The Power-down Timing Specification table shows the following:

  • NRST should be held low before or at the same time as the first supply turn-off.

The above power-up and power-down requirements are already implemented in the MCP16502/1 PMIC solutions.
