3.1.1 Core Power Supply Requirements
Information on low-range VRMs (voltage regulator modules), strongly recommended for new system designs,
is available from qualified VRM vendors as indicated in this document.
Care must be taken to assure the core power supply voltage, V_CPU_CORE, supplied to TM5500/TM5800
processors does not exceed the absolute maximum limit of 1.5 V when evaluating TM5500/TM5800
processor in systems designed for TM5400/TM5600 processors (designed to operate up to 1.6 V).
The table below provides the most significant core power supply requirements for TM5500/TM5800
processors
Note
See the
Data Book
for TM5500/TM5800 voltage and current requirements for this and all power supplies.
Note
The only VRM qualified by Transmeta for TM5500/TM5800 processors is the Maxim MAX1718. Refer to the
manufacturers VRM data sheet for detailed design information.
WARNING
CORE POWER SUPPLY VOLTAGE (V_CPU_CORE) TO TM5500/TM5800 PROCESSORS MUST NOT
EXCEED 1.5 V OR PERMANENT DEVICE DAMAGE MAY RESULT.
