Do All NVCC need to be powered?

kbell_hardware — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 16:31:42 GMT

Hello,

I'm wondering if i am not using any pins from an entire NVCC power group, can i ground/float the NVCC connection and possibly save on power? Specific connections for unused power groups are mentioned in the documentation but they do not address the NVCC groups.

Using the IMX6Q

Thanks,

Kevin

From the Datasheet :

"All digital I/O supplies (NVCC_xxxx) must be powered under normal conditions whether the
associated I/O pins are in use or not, and associated I/O pins need to have a pull-up or pull-down
resistor applied to limit any floating gate current."

Also please look at section 1.8 (Unused analog interfaces) of the "Hardware Development Guide for i.MX 6 ..."
