3.6 Power Supply Sequencing

A detailed diagram of the required Power Supply Sequencing (Power-Up and Power-Down) are provided in the device-specific data sheet. All associated processor power supplies are expected to allow for controlled supply ramp (Refer supply slew rate) and supply sequencing (using a PMIC-based power supply or using on-board logic when discrete power architecture is used).

For more information, refer the Power Supply Requirements, Power Supply Slew Rate Requirement, Power Supply Sequencing section of the device-specific data sheet.

For more information, see the [FAQ] AM625/AM623 Custom board hardware design – Processor power-sequencing requirements for power-up and power-down. The FAQ is generic and can also be used for AM62A7 / AM62A3 / AM62A7-Q1 / AM62A3-Q1 and AM62D-Q1 processor families.
