2.2.2 Implementation Example

The low cost and space saving option to power the SAM9X75 is the MCP16501 PMIC. The current implementation introduces an MCP16501TA-E/RMB schematic configured to supply all necessary power rails(1) in the recommended sequence:
  1. 3.3V to the periphery group (default VOUT1 output)
  2. 1.15V to the MPU core (by leaving pin SELV3 floating in Hi-Z)
  3. 1.35V to the VDDIOM rail (by leaving pin SELV2 floating in Hi-Z)
Note:
  1. Except for VDDBU, which can be connected to a non-removable power source such as a 3V lithium battery or directly to 3.3V.
