<div class="im"></div></blockquote></div><br><div>most of the CPUs with more than one power supply need sequencing, even if this is not written in the datasheets</div><div>we ran PIC32 board recently in higher quantities, and there we had separate voltage regulators for the digital and analog part hoping that this way we improve the analog part noise</div>
<div>after running the board in mass production we found around 1% boards with weird behaviour the core just locks after many hours of investigation we found that the cause is that in these cases analog voltage rise faster than digital, calling Microchip FAE and they admit that know the problem and suggested to remove the analog v-reg :)</div>
<div><br></div><div>A10 need several voltages:</div><div>CORE +1.25</div><div>INTERLOGIC +1.2V</div><div>RTC +1.3V</div><div>AVCC +3.0V</div><div>CAM +2.8V</div><div>SATA/TVIN +2.5V</div><div>PIO +3.0V</div><div>DDR +1.5V</div>
<div> </div><div>how they group them in just 3 voltages (I see 3 inductors)</div><div>I guess 1.2V 1.5V 3V removing RTC/CAM/SATA/ and running the core and interlogic at same voltage</div><div><br></div>
