The power management unit (PMU) generates the regulated core supplies for the device and provides supervision of the external supply. It also contains a bandgap voltage reference used by the PMU and other analog peripherals.
Key PMU features include:
- Support for device operation across a wide supply range (1.62V to 3.6V)
- Low-dropout linear voltage regulator to generate the internal core logic supply, with multiple operating modes for reducing device current in low-power modes (managed automatically by SYSCTL)
- Power-on reset (POR) supply monitor
- Brownout reset (BOR) supply monitor with four configurable threshold voltages
- Bandgap voltage reference supporting the BOR, core regulator, and analog peripherals
- Temperature sensor with connection to the ADC
