Power Management Module (PMM) and Supply Voltage Supervisor (SVS)
2.1
Power Management Module (PMM) Introduction
PMM features include:
•
Wide supply voltage (DV
CC
) range: 1.8 V to 3.6 V
•
Generation of voltage for the device core (V
CORE
)
•
Supply voltage supervisor (SVS) for DV
CC
•
Brownout reset (BOR)
•
Software accessible power-fail indicators
•
I/O protection during power-fail condition
The PMM manages all functions related to the power supply and its supervision for the device. Its primary
functions are first to generate a supply voltage for the core logic, and second, provide several
mechanisms for the supervision of the voltage applied to the device (DV
CC
).
The PMM uses an integrated low-dropout voltage regulator (LDO) to produce a secondary core voltage
(V
CORE
) from the primary one applied to the device (DV
CC
). In general, V
CORE
supplies the CPU, memories,
and the digital modules, while DV
CC
supplies the I/Os and analog modules. The V
CORE
output is maintained
using a dedicated voltage reference. The input or primary side of the regulator is referred to in this chapter
as its high side. The output or secondary side is referred to in this chapter as its low side.
