About the VDDD voltage of iMX28

[yuuki]

Would you teach about the voltage of VDDD?

According to the schematic of MX28EVK, the DCDC_VDDD output of i.MX28 is directly inputted into VDDD0-6 of i.MX28.

And, according to a datasheet, when the CPU frequency is set as 454 MHz, Recommended Operating Conditions of VDDD is 1.55V.

The VDDD Supply voltage spec. is the following.
- Digital Core Supply Voltage(VDDD) is Max 1.55V
- Output Voltage Accuracy of VDDD is from -3%  to +3%.

However, Digital Core Supply Voltage of Absolute Maximum Rating is Max 1.55V.

In this case, 1.55V +3% is 1.5965V.

I think that spec. has inconsistency.

When operating CPU at 454 MHz, may we use VDDD=1.55V(+3%: 1.5965V)?

I am referring to the following parts of a datasheet.

http://cache.freescale.com/files/32bit/doc/data_sheet/IMX28CEC.pdf
- Table 6. DC Absolute Maximum Ratings (P.12)
- Table 8. Recommended Power Supply Operating Conditions (P.13)
- Table 13. Power Supply Characteristics (P.15)
- Table 15. Recommended Operating Conditions—CPU Clock (clk_p) (P.16)

Yuuki-san,

   Strictly speaking, You are right - to be fully of safe side - DCDC_VDDD should
not exceed 1.55V taking into account +3 % tolerance (when DCDC_VDDD is
used to power the VDDD).  

Have a great day,
Yuri

Dear Yixing-san,

Thank you for your reply.

This problem has not been solved yet.
I am waiting for the reply from FSL.
Please let me know, if it has some information.

I will find a Freescale AE to look into this issue.

Thanks,
