7.3.2.1.3 Adaptive Voltage Scaling (AVS) and Dynamic Voltage Scaling (DVS) Support

An AVS or a DVS voltage value can be configured by the attached MCU after the BUCK regulator is powered up to the default output voltage selected in register BUCKn_VSET1, that loads its default value from NVM. The purpose of the AVS/DVS voltage is to set the BUCK output voltage to enable optimal efficiency and performance of the attached SoC.

All of BUCK regulators in the LP876242-Q1 device support AVS and DVS voltage scaling changes. Once the AVS/DVS voltage value is written into the BUCKn_VSET1 or BUCKn_VSET2 register, and the MCU sets the BUCKn_VSEL register to select the AVS/DVS voltage, the output of the BUCK regulator remains at the AVS/DVS voltage level instead of the default voltage from NVM until one of the following events occur:

  • Error that causes the device to re-initialize itself through a power cycle after reaching the SAFE RECOVERY state
  • Error that causes the device to execute warm reset

Figure 7-4 shows the arbitration scheme for loading the output level of the BUCK regulator from the AVS register using the BUCKn_VSET control registers.

Figure 7-4 AVS/DVS Configuration Register Arbitration Diagram

The digital control block automatically updates the OV and UV threshold of the BUCK output voltage monitor during the AVS or DVS voltage change. When the output voltage is increased, the OV threshold is updated at the same time the BUCKn_VSETx is updated to the AVS voltage level, while the UV threshold is updated after a delay calculated by Equation 1.

When the output voltage is decreased, the UV threshold is updated at the same time the BUCKn_VSETx is updated to the AVS voltage level, while the OV threshold is updated after a delay calculated by Equation 1.

Equation 1. tPG_OV_UV_DELAY = (dV / BUCKn_SLEW_RATE) + tsettle_Bx

In order to prevent erroneous voltage monitoring, the digital block also temporarily masks the results of the OV and UV monitor from the regulator output when the BUCK regulator is enabled and the voltage is rising to the BUCKn_VSETx level. The duration of the mask starts from the time the BUCK regulator is enabled. The BUCK OV monitor output is masked for a fixed delay time of tPG_OV_GATE, that is approximately 115 µs – 128 µs. The UV monitor output is masked for the time duration calculated by Equation 2. The 370-µs additional delay time in the formula includes the start-up delay of the BUCK regulator, the fixed delay after the ramp, and the time for the BIST operation of the OV and UV monitors.

Equation 2. tPG_UV_GATE = (BUCKn_VSET / BUCKn_SLEW_RATE) + 370 µs
Note: Because output capacitance, forward and negative current limits and load current of the BUCK regulator may affect the slew rate of the BUCK regulator output voltage, the delay time of tPG_UV_GATE may not be sufficient long for the slower slew rate setting when the target BUCK regulator output voltage is higher. Please refer to the PMIC User's Guide for detail information about the supported voltage level and slew rate setting combinations of a particular orderable part number.

Figure 7-5 and Figure 7-6 are timing diagrams illustrating the voltage change for AVS and DVS enabled BUCK regulators and the corresponding OV and UV monitor threshold changes.
