[1]Minimum voltage specification is given for DC voltage condition. While the regulator is switching, the LX pin may experience transient voltage spikes as
low as −3.0 V during the dead band time(<5 ns). The LX pins are tolerant to such transient spikes, however, it is responsibility of the hardware designer
to follow proper layout design guidelines to minimize the impact of parasitic inductance in the power path of the switching regulator, thus keeping the
magnitude of the negative voltage spike at the LX pin below 3.0 V.

13.1States description
13.1.1OTP/TRIM load
Upon VIN application V1P5D and V1P5A regulators are turned on automatically. Once
the V1P5D and V1P5A cross their respective POR thresholds, the fuses (for trim and
OTP) are loaded into the mirror registers and into the functional I2C registers if configured
by the voltage on the VDDOTP pin.
9-channel power management integrated circuit for high performance applications
The fuse circuits have a CRC error check routine which reports and protects against
register loading errors on the mirror registers. If a register loading error is detected, the
corresponding TRIM_NOK or OTP_NOK flag is asserted. See Section 17 "OTP/TBB and
default configurations" for details on handling fuse load errors.
If no fuse load errors are present, VSNVS is configured as indicated in the OTP
configuration bits, and the state machine moves to the LP_OFF state.
13.1.2LP_Off state
The LP_Off state is a low power off mode selectable by the LPM_OFF bit during
the system on modes. By default, the LPM_OFF = 0 when VIN crosses the UVDET
threshold, therefore the state machine stops at the LP_Off state until a valid power up
event is present. When LPM_OFF= 1, the state machine transitions automatically to the
QPU_Off state if no power up event has been present and waits in the QPU_Off until a
valid power up event is present.
The selection of the LPM_OFF bit is based on whether prioritizing low quiescent current
(stay in LP_Off) or quick power up (move to QPU_Off state).
If a power up event is started in LP_Off state with LPM_OFF = 0 and a fuse loading error
is detected, the PF8101/PF8201 ignores the power up event and remains in the LP_Off
state to avoid any potential damage to the system.
PF8101; PF8201
To be in LP_Off state, it is necessary to have VIN present. If a valid LICELL is present,
but VIN is below the UVDET, the PF8101/PF8201 enters the coin cell state.
13.1.3Self-test routine (PF8201 only)
When device transitions from the LP_Off state, it turns on all necessary internal circuits
as it moves into the self-test routine and performs a self-check routine to verify the
integrity of the internal circuits.
During the self-test routine the following blocks are verified:
• The high speed clock circuit is operating within a maximum of 15 % tolerance
• The output of the voltage generation bandgap and the monitoring bandgap are not
more than 4 % to 12 % apart from each other
• A CRC is performed on the mirror registers during the self-test routine, to ensure the
integrity of the registers before powering up
• ABIST test on all voltage monitors.
To allow for varying settling times for the internal bandgap and clocks, the self-test block
is executed up to 3 times (with 2.0 ms between each test) if a failure is encountered, the
state machine proceeds to the fail-safe transition.
A failure in the ABIST test is not interpreted as a self-test failure and it only sets the
corresponding ABIST flag for system information. The MCU is responsible for reading the
information and deciding whether it can continue with a safe operation. See Section 18.1
"System safety strategy" for more information about the functional safety strategy of
PF8201.
Upon a successful self-test, the state machine proceeds to the QPU_Off state.
9-channel power management integrated circuit for high performance applications
13.1.4QPU_Off state
The QPU_Off state is a higher power consumption off mode, in which all internal circuitry
required for a power on is biased and ready to start a power up sequence.
If LPM_OFF = 1 and no turn on event is present, the device stops at the QPU_Off state,
and waits until a valid turn on event is present.
In this state, if VDDIO supply is provided externally, the device is able to communicate
through I2C to access and modify the mirror registers in order to operate the device in
TBB mode or to program the OTP registers as described in Section 17 "OTP/TBB and
default configurations".
By default, the coin cell charger is disabled during the QPU_Off state when VIN crosses
the UVDET threshold, but it may be turned on or off in this state once it is programmed
by COINCHG_OFF during the system-on states.
If a power up event is started and any of the TRIM_NOK, OTP_NOK or STEST_NOK
flags are asserted, the device ignores the power up event and remains in the QPU_Off
state. See Section 17 "OTP/TBB and default configurations" for more details on
debugging a fuse loading failure.
Upon a power up event, the default configuration from OTP or hardwire is loaded into
their corresponding I2C functional register in the transition from QPU_Off to power up
state.
PF8101; PF8201
13.1.5Power up sequence
During the power up sequence, the external regulators are turned on in a predefined
order as programmed by the default (OTP or hardwire) sequence.
If PGOOD is used as a GPO, it can also be set high as part of the power up sequence in
order to allow sequencing of any external supply/device controlled by the PGOOD pin.
The RESETBMCU is also programmed as part of the power up sequence, and it is used
as the condition to enter system-on states. The RESETBMCU may be released in the
middle of the power up sequence, in this case, the remaining supplies in the power up
continues to power up as the device is in the run state. See Section 14.5.2 "Power up
sequencing" for details.
13.1.6System-on states
During the system-on states, the MCU is powered and out of reset and the system is fully
operational.
The system on is a virtual state composed by two modes of operations:
• Run state
• Standby state
Register to control the regulators output voltage, regulator enable, interrupt masks, and
other miscellaneous functions can be written to or read from the functional I2C register
map during the system-on states.
13.1.6.1Run state
If the power up state is successfully completed, the state machine transitions to the run
state. In this state, RESETBMCU is released high, and the MCU is expected to boot up
and set up specific registers on the PMIC as required during the system boot up process.
9-channel power management integrated circuit for high performance applications
The run mode is intended to be used as the normal mode of operation for the system.
Each regulator has specific registers to control its output voltage, operation mode and/or
enable/disable state during the run state.
By default, the VSWx_RUN[7:0] / VLDOx_RUN[3:0] registers are loaded with the data
stored in the OTP_VSWx[7:0] or OTP_VLDOx[3:0] bits respectively.
SW7 uses only one global register to configure the output voltage during run or
standby mode. Upon power up the VSW7[4:0] bits are loaded with the values of the
OTP_VSW7[4:0].
Upon power up, if the switching regulator is part of the power up sequence, the
SWx_RUN_MODE[1:0] bits will be loaded as needed by the system:
• When OTP_SYNCIN_EN = 1, default SWx_RUN_MODE at power up is always set to
PWM (0b01)
• When OTP_SYNCOUT_EN = 1, default SWx_RUN_MODE at power up is always set
to PWM (0b01)
• When OTP_FSS_EN = 1, default SWx_RUN_MODE at power up shall always set to
PWM (0b01)
• If none of the above conditions are met, the default value of the SWx_RUN_MODE bits
at power up will be set by the OTP_SW_MODE bits.
PF8101; PF8201
When OTP_SW_MODE = 0, the default value of the SWx_RUN_MODE bits are set to
0b11 (autoskip).
When OTP_SW_MODE = 1, the default value of the SWx_RUN_MODE bits are set to
0b01 (PWM).
If the switching regulator is not part of the power up sequence, the
SWx_RUN_MODE[1:0] bits are loaded with 0b00 (OFF mode).
Likewise, if the LDO is part of the power up sequence, the LDOx_RUN_EN bit is set to
1 (enabled) by default. If the LDO is not selected as part of the power up sequence, the
LDOx_RUN_EN bit is set to 0 (disabled) by default.
In a typical system, each time the processor boots up (PMIC transitions from off mode
to run state), all output voltage configurations are reset to the default OTP configuration,
and the MCU should configure the PMIC to its desired usage in the application.
13.1.6.2Standby state
The standby state is intended to be used as a low power (state retention) mode of
operation. In this state, the voltage regulators can be preset to a specific low power
configuration in order to reduce the power consumption during system’s sleep or state
retention modes of operations.
The standby state is entered when the STANDBY pin is pulled high or low as defined
by the STANBYINV bit. The STANDBY pin is pulled high/low by the MCU to enter/exit
system low power mode. See Section 14.9.2 "STANDBY" for detailed configuration of the
STANDBY pin.
Each regulator has specific registers to control its output voltage, operation mode and/or
enable/disable state during the standby state.
By default, the VSWx_STBY[7:0] / VLDOx_STBY[3:0] registers are loaded with the data
stored in the OTP_VSWx[7:0] or OTP_VLDOx[3:0] bits respectively.
9-channel power management integrated circuit for high performance applications
Upon power up, if the switching regulator is part of the power up sequence, the
SWx_STBY_MODE[1:0] bits will be loaded as needed by the system:
• When OTP_SYNCIN_EN = 1, default SWx_STBY_MODE at power up is always set to
PWM (0b01)
• When OTP_SYNCOUT_EN = 1, default SWx_STBY_MODE at power up is always set
to PWM (0b01)
• When OTP_FSS_EN = 1, default SWx_STBY_MODE at power up shall always set to
PWM (0b01)
• If none of the conditions above are met, the default value of the SWx_STBY_MODE
bits at power up will be set by the OTP_SW_MODE bits.
When OTP_SW_MODE = 0, the default value of the SWx_STBY_MODE bits are set to
0b11 (autoskip).
When OTP_SW_MODE = 1, the default value of the SWx_STBY_MODE bits are set to
0b01 (PWM).
If the switching regulator is not part of the power up sequence, the
SWx_STBY_MODE[1:0] bits are loaded with 0b00 (OFF mode).
Likewise, if the LDO is part of the power up sequence, the LDOx_RUN_EN bit is set to
1 (enabled) by default. If the LDO is not selected as part of the power up sequence, the
LDOx_RUN_EN bit is set to 0 (disabled) by default.
PF8101; PF8201
Upon power up, the standby registers are loaded with the same default OTP values as
the run mode. The MCU is expected to program the desired standby values during boot
up.
If any of the external regulators are disabled in the standby state, the power down
sequencer is engaged as described in Section 14.6.2 "Power down sequencing".
13.1.7WD_Reset
When a hard watchdog reset is present, the state machine increments the
WD_EVENT_CNT[3:0] register and compares against the WD_MAX_CNT[3:0] register.
If WD_EVENT_CNT[3:0] = WD_MAX_CNT[3:0], the state machine detects a cyclic
watchdog failure, it powers down the external regulators and proceeds to the fail-safe
transition.
If WD_EVENT_CNT[3:0] < WD_MAX_CNT[3:0], the state machine performs a hard WD
reset.
A hard WD reset can be generated from either a transition in the WDI pin or a WD event
initiated by the internal watchdog counter as described in Section 15.11.2 "Watchdog
reset behaviors".
13.1.8Power down state
During power down state, all regulators except VSNVS are disabled as configured in
the power down sequence. The power down sequence is programmable as defined in
Section 14.6.2 "Power down sequencing".
Two types of events may lead to the power down sequence:
• Non faulty turn off events: move directly into LP_Off state as soon as power down
sequence is finalized
9-channel power management integrated circuit for high performance applications
• Turn off events due to a PMIC fault: move to the fail-safe transition as soon as the
power down sequence is finalized
13.1.9Fail-safe transition
The fail-safe transition is entered if the PF8101/PF8201 initiates a turn off event due to a
PMIC fault.
If the fail-safe transition is entered, the PF8101/PF8201 provides four FAIL bits to
indicate the source of the failure:
• The PU_FAIL is set to 1 when the device shuts down due to a power up failure
• The WD_FAIL is set to 1 when the device shuts down due to a watchdog event counter
max out
• The REG_FAIL is set to 1 when the device shuts down due to a regulator failure (fault
counter maxed out or fault timer expired)
• The TSD_FAIL is set to 1 when the device shuts down due to a thermal shutdown
The value of the FAIL bits is retained as long as VIN > UVDET.
The MCU can read the FAIL bits during the system-on states in order to obtain
information about the previous failure and can clear them by writing a 1 to them, provided
the state machine is able to power up successfully after such failure.
PF8101; PF8201
In PF8201, when the state machine enters the fail-safe transition, a fail-safe counter is
compared and increased, if the FS_CNT[3:0] reaches the maximum count, the device
can be programmed to move directly to the fail-safe state to prevent a cyclic failure from
happening.
13.1.10Fail-safe state (PF8201 only)
The fail-safe state works as a safety lock-down upon a critical device/system failure. It is
reached when the FS_CNT [3:0] = FS_MAX_CNT [3:0].
A bit is provided to enable or disable the device to enter the fail-safe state upon a cyclic
failure. When the OTP_FS_BYPASS = 1, the fail-safe bypass operation is enabled and
the device always move to the LP_Off state, regardless of the value of the FS_CNT[3:0].
If the OTP_FS_BYPASS = 0, the fail-safe bypass is disabled, and the device moves to
the fail-safe state when the proper condition is met.
The maximum number of times the device can pass through the fail-safe
transition continuously prior to moving to a fail state is programmed by the
OTP_FS_MAX_CNT[3:0] bits. If the FS_MAX_CNT[3:0] = 0x00, the device moves into
the fail-safe state as soon as it fails for the very first time.
If the FSOB pin is programmed to assert upon a specific fault, the FSOB pin remains
asserted low during the fail-safe state if the corresponding fault is present when PF8201
reaches the fail-safe state.
The device can exit the fail-safe state only after a power cycle (VIN crossing UVDET)
event is present.
To avoid reaching the fail-safe state due to isolated fail-safe transition events,
the FS_CNT [3:0] is gradually decreased based on a fail-safe OK timer. The
OTP_FS_OK_TIME[2:0] bits select the default time configuration for the fail-safe OK
timer between 1 to 60 min.

state machine decreases the FS_CNT[3:0] bits by one and starts a new count until the
FS_CNT[3:0] is 0x00. The FS_CNT[3:0] may be manually cleared during the system on
state if the system wants to control this counter manually.
13.1.11Coin cell state
PF8101; PF8201
When VIN is not present and LICELL pin has a valid voltage, the device is placed into
a coin cell state. In such state, only VSNVS remains on (if programmed to do so by the
OTP_VSNVSVOTL[1:0] bits) and is expected to provide power to the SNVS domain on
the MCU as long as the LICELL pin has a valid input suitable to supply the configured
VSNVS output voltage.
14 General device operation
14.1UVDET
UVDET works as the main operation threshold for the PF8101/PF8201. Crossing UVDET
on the rising edge is a mandatory condition for OTP fuses to be loaded into the mirror
registers and allows the main PF8101/PF8201 operation.
If VIN is below the UVDET threshold, the device remains in an unpowered state if no
valid LICELL is present, or in the LICELL mode if a valid LICELL voltage is present. A
200 mV hysteresis is implemented on the UVDET comparator to set the falling threshold.

14.2VIN OVLO condition
The VIN_OVLO circuit monitors the main input supply of the PF8101/PF8201. When this
block is enabled, the PF8101/PF8201 monitors its input voltage and can be programmed
to react to an overvoltage in two ways:
• When the VIN_OVLO_SDWN = 0, the VIN_OVLO event triggers an OVLO interrupt but
does not turn off the device
• When the VIN_OVLO_SDWN = 1, the VIN_OVLO event initiates a power down
sequence
9-channel power management integrated circuit for high performance applications
When the VIN_OVLO_EN = 0, the OVLO monitor is disabled and when the
VIN_OVLO_EN = 1, the OVLO monitor is enabled. The default configuration of the
VIN_OVLO_EN bit is set by the OTP_VIN_OVLO_EN bit in OTP. Likewise, the default
value of the VIN_OVLO_SDWN bit is set by the OTP_VIN_OVLO_SDWN upon power
up.
During a power up transition, if the OTP_VIN_OVLO_SDWN = 0 the device allows the
external regulators to come up and the PF8101/PF8201 announces the VIN_OVLO
condition through an interrupt. If the OTP_VIN_OVLO_SDWN = 1, the device stops the
power up sequence and returns to the corresponding off mode.
Debounce on the VIN_OVLO comparator is programmable to 10 µs, 100 µs or 1.0 ms, by
the VIN_OVLO_DBNC[1:0] bits. The default value for the VIN_OVLO debounce is set by
the OTP_VIN_OVLO_DBNC[1:0] bits upon power up.

damage to the device.
14.3IC startup timing with PWRON pulled up
The PF8101/PF8201 features a fast internal core power up sequence to fulfill system
power up timings of 5.0 ms or less, from power application until MCU is out of reset.
Such requirement needs a maximum ramp up time of 1.5 ms for VIN to cross the UVDET
threshold in the rising edge.
A maximum core biasing time of 1.5 ms from VIN crossing to UVDET until the beginning
of the power up sequence is ensured to allow up to 1.5 ms time frame for the voltage
regulators power up sequence.
Timing for the external regulators to start up is programmed by default in the OTP fuses.
The 5.0 ms power up timing requirement is only applicable when the PWRON pin
operates in level sensitive mode OTP_PWRON_MODE = 0, however turn on timing is
expected to be the same for both level or edge sensitive modes after the power on event
is present.
In applications using the VSNVS regulator, if VSNVS is required to reach regulation
before system regulators come up, the system should use the SEQ[7:0] bits to delay the
system regulators to allow enough time for VSNVS to reach regulation before the power
up sequence is started.

state as described in Section 13.1.2 "LP_Off state". In this scenario, quiescent current
in the LP_Off state is kept to a minimum. When PWRON goes high with LPM_OFF = 0,
the PMIC startup is expected to take longer, since it has to enable most of the internal
circuits and perform the self-test before starting a power up sequence.

14.5.1Power up events
Upon a power cycle (VIN > UVDET), the LPM_OFF bit is reset to 0, therefore the device
moves to the LP_Off state by default. The actual value of the LPM_OFF bit can be
changed during the run mode and is maintained until VIN crosses the UVDET threshold.
9-channel power management integrated circuit for high performance applications
In either one of the off modes, the PF8101/PF8201 can be enabled by the following
power up events:
1. When OTP_PWRON_MODE = 0, PWRON pin is pulled high.
2. When OTP_PWRON_MODE = 1, PWRON pin experiences a high to low transition
A power up event is valid only if:
• VIN > UVDET
• VIN < VIN_OVLO (unless the OVLO is disabled or OTP_VIN_OVLO_SDWN = 0)
• Tj < thermal shutdown threshold
• TRIM_NOK = 0 && OTP_NOK = 0 && STEST_NOK = 0
14.5.2Power up sequencing
The power up sequencer controls the time and order in which the voltage regulators and
other controlling I/O are enabled when going from the off mode into the run state.
The OTP_SEQ_TBASE[1:0] bits set the default time base for the power up and power
down sequencer.
PF8101; PF8201
and remains low for as long as the PWRON_DBNC timer.
The SEQ_TBASE[1:0] bits can be modified during the system-on states in order to
change the sequencer timing during run/standby transitions as well as the power down
sequence.

Sequencer time base
(µs)
The power up sequence may include any of the following:
• Switching regulators
• LDO Regulators
• PGOOD pin if programmed as a GPO
• RESETBMCU
The default sequence slot for each one of these signals is programmed via the OTP
configuration registers. And they can be modified in the functional I2C register map to
change the order in which the sequencer behaves during the run/standby transitions as
well as the power down sequence.
The _SEQ[7:0] bits set the regulator/pin sequence from 0 to 254. Sequence code 0x00
indicates that the particular output is not part of the startup sequence and remains in off
(in case of a regulator) or remains low/disabled (in case of PGOOD pin used as a GPO).
If RESETBMCU is not programmed in the OTP sequence, it will be enabled by default
after the last regulator programmed in the power up sequence.
When the _SEQ[7:0] bits of all regulators and PGOOD used as a GPIO are set to 0x00
(off) and a power on event is present, the device moves to the run state in slave mode.
In this mode, the device is enabled without any voltage regulator or GPO enabled. If the
RESETBMCU is not programed in a power up sequence slot, it is released when the
device enters the run state.
The slave mode is a special case of the power up sequence to address the scenario
where the PF8101/PF8201 is working as a slave PMIC, and supplies are meant to be
enabled by the MCU during the system operation. In this scenario, if RESETBMCU is
used, it is connected to the master RESETBMCU pin.
The PWRUP_I interrupt bit is asserted at the end of the power up sequence when the
time slot of the last regulator in the sequence has ended.
Figure 8 provides an example of the power up/down sequence coming from the off
modes.
Figure 8. Power up/down sequence between off and system-on states
9-channel power management integrated circuit for high performance applications
When transitioning from standby mode to run mode, the power up sequencer is activated
only if any of the external regulators is re-enabled during this transition. If none of the
regulators toggle from off to on and only voltage changes are being performed when
entering or exiting standby mode, the changes for the voltage regulators are made
simultaneously rather than going through the power up sequencer.
Figure 9 shows an example of the power up/down sequence when transitioning between
run and standby modes.
PF8101; PF8201
Figure 9. Power up/down sequence between run and standby
The PWRUP_I interrupt is set while transitioning from standby to run, even if the
sequencer is not used. This is used to indicate that the transition is complete and device
is ready to perform proper operation.
14.6Power down
14.6.1Turn off events
Turn off events may be requested by the MCU (non-PMIC fault related) or due to a
critical failure of the PMIC (hard fault condition).
The following are considered non-PMIC failure turn off events:
1. When OTP_PWRON_MODE = 0, the device starts a power down sequence when the
PWRON pin is pulled low.
2. When OTP_PWRON_MODE = 1, the device starts a power down sequence when
the PWRON pin sees a transition from high to low and remains low for longer than
TRESET.
3. When bit PMIC_OFF is set to 1, the device starts a 500 µs shutdown timer. When the
shutdown timer is started, the PF8101/PF8201 sets the SDWN_I interrupt and asserts
the INTB pin provided it is not masked. At this point, the MCU can read the interrupt
and decide whether to continue with the turn off event or stop it in case it was sent by
mistake.
If the SDWN_I bit is cleared before the 500 µs shutdown timer is expired, the
shutdown request is cancelled and the shutdown timer is reset; otherwise, if the
shutdown timer is expired, the PF8101/PF8201 starts a power down sequence.
9-channel power management integrated circuit for high performance applications
The PMIC_OFF bit self-clears after SDWN_I flag is cleared.
4. When VIN_OVLO_EN = 1 and VIN_OVLO_SDWN = 1, and a VIN_OVLO event is
present.
Turn off events due to a hard fault condition:
1. If an OV, UV or ILIM condition is present long enough for the fault timer to expire.
2. In the event that an OV, UV or ILIM condition appears and clears cyclically, and the
FAULT_CNT[3:0] = FAULT_MAX_CNT[3:0].
3. If the watchdog fail counter is overflown, that is WD_EVENT_CNT = WD_MAX_CNT.
4. When Tj crosses the thermal shutdown threshold as the temperature rises.
When the PF8101/PF8201 experience a turn off event due to a hard fault condition, the
devices pass through the fail-safe transition after regulators have been powered down.
14.6.2Power down sequencing
During a power down sequence, output voltage regulators can be turned off in two
different modes as defined by the PWRDWN_MODE bit.
1. When PWRDWN_MODE = 0, the regulators power down in sequential mode.
2. When PWRDWN_MODE = 1, the regulators power down by groups.
PF8101; PF8201
During transition from run to standby, the power down sequencer is activated in the
corresponding mode. If any of the external regulators are turned off in the standby
configuration. If external regulators are not turned off during this transition, the power
down sequencer is bypassed and the transition happens at once (any associated DVS
transitions could still take time).
The PWRDN_I interrupt is set at the end of the transition from run to standby when the
last regulator has reached its final state, even if external regulators are not turned off
during this transition.
14.6.2.1Sequential power down
When the device is set to the sequential power down, it uses the same _SEQ[7:0]
registers as the power up sequence to power down in reverse order.
All regulators with the _SEQ[7:0] bits set to 0x00, power down immediately and the
remaining regulators power down one OTP_SEQ_TBASE[1:0] delay after, in reverse
order as defined in the _SEQ[7:0] bits.
If PGOOD pin is used as a GPO, it is de-asserted as part of the power down sequence
as indicated by the PGOOD_SEQ[7:0] bits.
If the MCU requires a different power down sequence, it can change the values of the
SEQ_TBASE[1:0] and the _SEQ[7:0] bits during the system-on states.
When the state machine pass through any of the off modes, the contents of the
SEQ_TBASE[1:0] and _SEQ[7:0] bits are reloaded with the corresponding mirror register
(OTP) values before it starts the next power up sequence.
14.6.2.2Group power down
When the device is configured to power down in groups, the regulators are assigned to a
specific power down group. All regulators assigned to the same group are disabled at the
same time when the corresponding group is due to be disabled.
9-channel power management integrated circuit for high performance applications
Power down groups shut down in decreasing order starting from the lowest hierarchy
group with a regulator shutting down (for instance, Group 4 being the lowest hierarchy
and Group 1 the highest hierarchy group). If no regulators are set to the lowest hierarchy
group, the power down sequence timer starts off the next available group that contains a
regulator to power down.
Each regulator has its own _PDGRP[1:0] bits to set the power down group it belongs to
as shown in Table 20.
If PGOOD pin is used as a GPO, the PGOOD_PDGRP[1:0] is used to turn off the
PGOOD pin in a specific group during the power down sequence. If PGOOD pin is used
in power good mode, it is recommended that the OTP_PGOOD_PDGRP bits are set
to 11 to ensure the group power down sequencer does not detect these bits as part of
Group 4.
Each one of power down groups have programmable time delay registers to set the time
delay after the regulators in this group have been turned off, and the next group can start
to power down.

sequence is finished and the programmable power down delay is reached, then the
device can power up again if a power-up event is present. The power down delay time
can be programed on OTP via the OTP_PD_SEQ_DLY[1:0] bits.
