Dynamic Supply Voltage Control
In addition to clock frequency control, the processor provides the capabil-
ity to run the core processor at different voltage levels. As power
dissipation is proportional to the voltage squared, significant power reduc-
tions can be accomplished when lower voltages are used.
The processor uses three power domains. These power domains are shown
in
. Each power domain has a separate V
DD
supply. Note that
the internal logic of the processor and much of the processor I/O can be
run over a range of voltages. See the product data sheet for details on the
allowed voltage ranges for each power domain and power dissipation data.
Power Supply Management
The processor provides an on-chip switching regulator controller which,
with some external hardware, can generate internal voltage levels from the
external V
DDEXT
supply with an external power transistor as shown in
. This voltage level can be reduced to save power, depending
upon the needs of the system.
