Video surveillance products such as a video doorbell or Wi-Fi camera consist of a processor interfacing with high-speed image sensor and video encoder. The processor also interfaces with SD RAM, audio codec supporting two-way audio communication, and a lens driver with IR cut filter sub circuitry. From the power perspective many different supply rails are required to be generated to drive core voltage, I/O rail, and analog rail for the previously-mentioned peripherals.
The wireless MCU and the peripherals (except IR LED Driver) are designed to operate at standard 3.3 V logic levels. The IR LED driver is powered directly from the battery with a load switch in series.
Imaging sensors generally require two voltage sources for the analog and digital circuits in the chip. The analog circuits are typically powered from 2.8 V to 3.3 V and the digital circuits are powered from 1.2 V to 1.8 V. Similarly, video encoders require multiple power-supply rails: analog circuits powered from 3 V, the core and other digital circuits (I/O, PLL) powered from multiple power rails ranging between 1.0 V to 1.8 V. The power supply for the video encoder and image sensor must be designed to minimize ripple and transients in the output voltage to avoid image distortion.
The overall power supply requirements as well as power-tree for this reference design is illustrated in the Table 2-2.
