Calculating the required power supply sizing requires taking into consideration the loads that plan to be present on the power supply, the noise tolerated by the system, as well as overall current requirements.
Firstly, calculate the current requirement for each voltage rail. Be sure to add the peak current values for each chip/module, which is typically each power supply pin. Additionally, plan to also account for all other passive and active loads, which include components such as LEDs and other loads.
For added precaution and to ensure a safe design, multiply these currents by a value between 1.3 to 2 to arrive at the recommend current specifications of the voltage regulator. This avoids current-starving any blocks connected to the power supply system. Select between the choice of linear regulators and DC-DC converters. This decision primarily depends on the amount of power supply noise tolerated by the system as a whole. In systems that require very low noise, linear regulators/LDOs are recommended. DC-DC converters, on the other hand, offer better power efficiency.
The following scenarios provide example guidance on calculating the recommend power supply specifications:
In this scenario, though flash-programming will not occur in the field, initial programming will occur. Thus:
Multiplying by a margin value of 1.5, the final supply current requirement is determined:
Multiplying by a margin value of 1.5, we arrive at our final supply current requirement:
