1.0 Introduction

The Intel® PXA27x Processor Family (PXA27x processor) is a highly integrated system-on-chip optimized for handheld battery-powered devices such as PDAs and 2.5G or 3G cell phones. The PXA27x processor is ideal for products requiring substantial computing and multimedia capability with very low power consumption.
The PXA27x processor combines a high-performance CPU with a variety of integrated peripheral functions. The processor has separate power supply domains for the processor core, memory, and peripherals to enable low-power system design. The PXA27x processor provides several dedicated control signals as well as an I circuit.
Other system components, such as SDRAM and flash memory, audio codecs, touchscreen controllers, and specialized companion chips, have with their own unique power requirements. In many designs, a highly integrated power controller supplies power for these other components, particularly those that interface directly to the PXA27x processor. An advanced power controller can contain circuitry for charging batteries, powering the display panel, and include other analog functions required by the system.
In any system design, factors such as operating conditions, application workload, environmental considerations and the sophistication of the device’s power management software all play a role in determining the amount of power consumed. When designing a system, manufacturers need to take into account where the device is intended to be used (such as high temperature environments) and what it is expected to do for an end user (such as play a game, a video or do simple email transactions).

C interface to connect to an external power management integrated
The Intel® PXA27x Processor Family EMTS provides manufacturers with a typical system power consumption specification for all frequencies of the processor family. The purpose of this application note is to provide guidance on how power consumption, in a typical environment can change, based on different software workloads. In addition, this application note provides further details on the requirements for providing power to the processor and for interfacing to its power control signals, including behavioral requirements and typical system design examples under these workloads.
The power numbers generated utilized Intel development platforms in lab conditions and the information provided should be used as a guideline only.

Intel® PXA27x Processor Family Power Requirements
The terms run mode and normal mode are used interchangeably, although normal mode comprises both the run-mode and turbo-mode settings.

2.0 Intel® PXA27x Processor Power Supply Domains

Viewed externally, the main or backup battery powers ten power-supply domains. Additional supply domains are present internally, but power for these is derived from the external supply inputs.
All functional units within a power domain connect to the same power supply and are powered up and down together. The PXA27x processor architecture, with its multiple power-supply domains, provides flexibility in system configuration (including selection of I/O voltages for different memory and peripherals) and efficient power management (for instance, flexibility in selecting which peripherals are powered at the same time). Together, these let system designers make power/ complexity trade-offs and optimize a product for intended markets.
Product designers can also choose to strap certain supplies together (to power several domains from a common regulator) to reduce complexity, cost, and the number of regulators in the system. Guidelines showing which supplies can be combined are provided in this document.
A summary of the voltage and tolerance requirements for each external supply input is shown in
Tab l e 1. Figure 1 shows the PXA27x processor internal and external power domains and their

2.1 Power Domains and System Voltage/Current Requirements

The following sections document the power requirements for the PXA27x processor, but do not include external support, memory, or other peripheral components.
The power consumption values shown in Tab le 5 are all worst-case numbers. These numbers give the worst-case system power-supply requirements and do not reflect typical system power consumption.
2.1.1 Intel® PXA27x Processor Power Supplies
Viewed externally, the processor can require up to nine independent voltages provided by regulated supplies. In some cases, multiple voltage domains might be strapped together, reducing the number of separate regulators to as few as four. Internally, there are more domains, but these are powered from the externally supplied domains by on-chip regulators. The internal domains are documented for informational purposes only; the external power controller does not have to consider them in its design.
Tab l e 2 shows the PXA27x processor voltage domains.
8 Application Note
Intel® PXA27x Processor Family Power Requirements
Table 2. Intel® PXA27x Processor Voltage Domains (Sheet 1 of 2)
Voltage Description
VCC_BATT BATTERY VOLTAGE:
Voltage-limited power from the main battery, or directly from a backup battery, at nominal 3.0 V (±25%). VCC_BATT must be supplied to start the power manager. When the main battery is installed, VCC_BATT powers the real-time clock and power management circuitry during initial power-on, sleep, deep sleep and sleep wake-up, so it remains powered from the backup battery when the main power source has been discharged or removed. See Section 2.2, “Batteries” on page 14 for information about directly connecting VCC_BATT to the backup battery or main battery.
NOTE: The power management integrated circuit (PMIC) output drivers for logic
NOTE: VCC_BATT must be driven by a regulator whose output is matched to the
VCC_CORE CORE VOLTAGE:
Dynamically variable core voltage of 0.85 V to 1.55 V. VCC_CORE also powers internal peripheral logic blocks such as the memory controller, LCD controller, digital audio, and serial ports. It does not power the internal SRAM. In a full featured system, this supply is software controllable as described in Section 6.1, “VCC_CORE Regulator and
Dynamic Voltage Management” on page 29. In a simple system, this supply might be a
fixed voltage chosen to meet the minimum voltage requirement for the highest frequency at which the PXA27x processor operates. In systems that use standby mode, there must also be a provision to set VCC_CORE to 1.10 V (±10%) prior to entry into standby mode. VCC_CORE must be enabled when PWR_EN is asserted and disabled when PWR_EN is de-asserted.
VCC_PLL PHASE-LOCK LOOP VOLTAGE:
1.3 V (±10%) for internal PLL circuits, fixed. VCC_PLL must not be connected to VCC_CORE, even though they both may be at the same voltage: 1.3 V. A separate low-noise voltage source is recommended to keep the PLL supply clean. This supply must be enabled when PWR_EN is asserted and disabled when PWR_EN is de-asserted.
VCC_SRAM Power for the internal SRAM during operation in run or turbo modes. This supply is
fixed at 1.1 V (±10%). If the core supply (VCC_CORE) is also fixed at 1.1V (no dynamic voltage changes are used and the maximum core clock frequency is not supported), these two supplies are connected together and powered by a common regulator. In sleep and deep-sleep modes, VCC_SRAM is powered down and the internal SRAM banks, under program control, are powered from an internal regulator connected to VCC_BATT. Doing so retains their contents although no accesses are allowed. VCC_SRAM must be enabled when PWR_EN is asserted and disabled when PWR_EN is de-asserted.
signals nRESET, nVDD_FAULT, nBATT_FAULT, PWR_SDA, GPIO0 and GPIO1 must be powered from the VCC_BATT supply. This also applies to all other digital outputs such as the JTAG signals driving PXA27x processor inputs on the VCC_REG domain. Any devices that have a digital input driven by a PXA27x processor digital output powered from the VCC_REG domain must tolerate output high drive levels between 2.25 V and 3.75 V.
VCC_IO regulator so that VCC_IO and VCC_BATT remain within 200 mV of each other when the VCC_IO regulator is enabled.

VCC_LCD Power for output drivers to LCD panel, 1.8 V (+20%, -5%), 2.5 V, 3.0V or 3.3 V (± 10%).
VCC_MEM Power for memory/system bus I/O at 1.8 V (+20%, -5%), 2.5 V, 3.0V or 3.3 V (±10%);
VCC_BB Power for I/Os to an external baseband module or device, at 1.8 V (+20%, -5%), 2.5 V,
VCC_USIM Power for I/Os to an external Universal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM) card. The
VCC_USB Power for USB at 3.0 V or 3.3V (±10%) for standard differential USB I/Os interfacing to
components, which are also supplied from fixed 3.0 V or 3.3 V. The I/Os for external components connected to the corresponding signals on the PXA27x processor must be supplied from the same regulator. Driving VCC_BATT in this manner prevents forward­biasing of protection diodes and inadvertent charging of the backup battery through inputs on the PXA27x processor VCC_REG domain. The VCC_IO supply must be the highest potential in the system (excluding VCC_BATT and VCC_USB) and must be sequenced on at the same time or before the other supplies enabled by SYS_EN. VCC_IO are connected to any of the VCC_LCD, VCC_MEM, VCC_BB or VCC_USIM supplies as long as none of these supplies are driven at a voltage higher than VCC_IO. VCC_IO must be enabled when SYS_EN is asserted and disabled when SYS_EN is de-asserted.
NOTE: When the main battery is installed, VCC_BATT must be driven by a regulator
Optionally, these are strapped to one of the existing I/O supplies at 3.3 V, 2.5 V, or
1.8 V if appropriate for the panel used. This supply must be enabled when SYS_EN is asserted and disabled when SYS_EN is de-asserted.
fixed, strappable by input signals on the power controller to one of these voltages. The power controller automatically powers up VCC_MEM to the voltage specified by its input control signals when this regulator is enabled. Corresponding I/Os of the memory components or companion chips must be powered from the same regulator. This supply must be enabled when SYS_EN is asserted and disabled when SYS_EN is de-asserted.
3.0V,or 3.3 V (±10%). Corresponding I/Os of the baseband device must be powered from the same regulator. In systems that use PCMCIA or Compact flash and the baseband interface, VCC_BB must be tied to VCC_MEM because some of the card interface signals are multiplexed with baseband interface signals. This supply must be enabled when SYS_EN is asserted and disabled when SYS_EN is de-asserted if any of these GPIOs are used (as either a GPIO or as an alternate function): GPIO<48>, GPIO<57:50>, GPIO<85:81>.
VCC_USIM voltage generated by the PMIC is software configurable at settings of 1.8 V (+20%, -5%) or 3.0 V (± 10%) or disabled (0 V). The software voltage control is implemented using I nUVS1, and nUVS2 outputs. Refer to Section 4.7, “Universal Subscriber Identity
Module (USIM)” on page 21 for more information.

2.1.2 Power Supply Configuration in a Minimal System
For minimal systems, only five (four if VCC_USIM is disabled) regulators are required to power the PXA27x processor and its input/output interfaces, as shown in Tab le 3 .

More complex systems might require further separation of supply domains and additional regulators. Independent PXA27x power domains provide flexibility when supporting peripherals with different I/O voltages, which makes it possible to reduce overall system power by supporting
1.8 V low-power memory with 3.0 V peripherals.
2.1.3 Modeling Intel PXA27x processor power consumption
This section provides guidelines for the power consumption required for the processor by varying the software workload. In this analysis, the information is divided into two groups:
- Core (modeled as VCC_CORE) - Section 2.1.3.1
- All other power domains (such as memory controller, LCD, etc.) - Section 2.1.3.2
The core model section contains power consumption data with differing workloads. The model for the remaining domains shows power consumption data for each domain.
Use the guidelines detailed in Section 2.1.3.1 and Section 2.1.3.2 in conjunction with the Power Consumption Specifications listed in the Intel® PXA27x Processor Family EMTS.
2.1.3.1 Intel® PXA27x Processor VCC_CORE Supply Current
This section specifies the power consumption expected for VCC_CORE power supply domain across differing workloads.
Tab le 4 shows the typical current consumption for the VCC_CORE power domain at room
temperature, at nominal voltage levels but with differing workloads. All data is taken using the Intel PXA270 Processor Development Kit processor card running low level boot code, no operating system (unless specified).
