For split-supply I/O systems, the split supplies are connected to the VCC (DVCC and AVCC) and DVIO pins. Supply voltage at DVCC and AVCC pins (VCC) is used to provide device power, and the supply voltage at the DVIO pin (VIO) is used to supply the I/O rail of the "DVIO supplied I/O pins". The recommended VCC supply voltage ranges from 1.8 V to 3.6 V (see note A on Figure 1) and, therefore, these devices do not operate at nominal 1.8 V (that is, 1.8 V ± 10%) supply voltage level. The VIO supply voltage ranges from 1.62 V to VCC and is useful in applications that interface with nominal 1.8-V I/O interface (that is, 1.8 V ± 10%).
