Sources for Core Supply Voltage
The on-chip EVRs can generate the XC2200’s core supply voltage from the (externally
supplied) IO voltage. In most applications this will be the preferred option.
Besides this, the core supply voltage can also be supplied by other sources, i.e. an
external regulator or other voltage source.
Core Supply via On-chip EVRs
Generating the core supply voltage via the integrated EVRs is the preferred operating
mode, because it saves an additional external voltage regulator. The integrated EVRs
are fed from supply voltage

DDPB
.
Proper operation of the EVRs requires external buffer capacitances. Please refer to the
respective Data Sheet for the recommended values. The current is delivered by the
integrated pass devices.
Figure 6-19 Selecting the EVR for Core Supply
Generating the core supply voltage with on-chip resources provides full control of power
reduction modes, so the application can control and minimize the energy consumption
of the XC2200 using built-in mechanisms without requiring additional external circuitry.
Core Supply via External Source
Generating the core supply voltage via an external source minimizes the on-chip heat
dissipation caused by regulating the external supply voltage down to the core voltage
level. .
Note: The internal EVRs have to be disabled.
Both core supply domains VDDIM and VDDI1 have to be connected to the same
external supply.
