Buck Power Sequencing

MCF831xC has an option of powering the AVDD LDO using the buck regulator instead of VM to reduce the power losses inside the IC and improve thermal performance. This option can be enabled by setting BUCK_PS_DIS to 0b as shown in Figure 3-3. Buck power sequencing is available only when the buck regulator output voltage is set to 5V or 5.7V (BUCK_SEL = 01b or 11b).
