Note: It is recommended to reach the Sleep state only from Idle. Setting the
device in Sleep mode directly from Exec state may result in higher-than-
normal power consumption.
General Design Rules
The principal guidelines for the Power Supply Design embrace three different design
steps:
•
Electrical design
•
Thermal design
•
PCB layout
4.3.1.
Electrical Design Guidelines
The electrical design of the power supply strongly depends on the chosen power source.
The following diagram depicts an example of a suitable linear voltage regulator:
Figure 3: Example of a suitable Linear Voltage Regulator
To further reduce the power consumption, DC-DC converters can be used instead of LDO.
Figure 4 and Figure 5 show a reference design for generating the 1.8 V voltage and the
0.8V (to be provided on PIN 27 only in case of low power P/N). As depicted in Figure 5, in
