13.5.2 Extended-Drain I/Os and PBIAS Cells Programming Guide
NOTE:
The device can be supplied by an external power IC. TI provides such a global solution to
its customers with the TWL50xx power IC.
If the device is associated with the TWL50xx power IC, before using an extended-drain I/O interface, the
software must program the TWL50xx to enable the VMMC1 (for the MMC/SD/SDIO1 module or muxed
GPIO I/Os ) or VIO for (gpio126, gpio127, and gpio129 I/Os), and the LDO and to provide a 1.8-V/3.0-V
voltage. This is done by software through the inter-integrated circuit (I
2
C™) interface that links the device
and TWL50xx IC.
If the application does not want the interface running at 3.0 V, software users must then assert the
VMODE signal to low for 1.8-V activity: in this case, the PBIAS is connected to ground. (See
.)

These signals can be software-controlled.

The two PBIAS cells support two ranges of I/O power supply: 1.8 V, typical for low-voltage applications,
and 3.0 V, typical for high-voltage applications. For each supply voltage range, the cell generates suitable
bias voltage (PBIAS) for extended-drain PMOS devices.
NOTE:
If SDMMC1_VDDS (or SIM_VDDS) is supplied before the device reset is released, the
voltage must be 3 V. It is not recommended to supply the vdds_mmc1 (or vdds_sim) pad
with 1.8 V unless software has configured the PBIAS cells accordingly.
CAUTION
A PBIAS cell must be programmed according to peripheral power supply
voltage. See

For damaging configuration, hardware system protection is provided to prevent deterioration of the associated extended-drain
I/Os.

It is forbidden to use these modes.
