minimum voltage of VDD_SNVS_IN

[yutaka_ando]

According to the table 8 of i.MX6Solo/DualLite data sheet (MX6SDLCEC), the minimum of VDD_SNVS_IN is 2.9V

On the other hand, table 11 of this document defines the power consumption of SNVS mode at VDD_SNVS_IN = 2.8V which is 0.1V lower than the minimum voltage defined in table 8.

Does VDD_SNVS_IN support 2.8V?

[b36401]

For correct operation table 8 is correct, the minimum setting is 2.9V.
This supply also generates the 1.1V on SNVS_CAP which is the logic supply for the 32KHZ OSC and other logic.
The 1.1V is generated from a resistor divider from SNVS_IN, so when it drops to 2.8V the 1.1V will drop below min voltage to operate this logic.

Hi Mrudang,

Ok, I understood.

Power consumption also is increased.

Hi Yuji,

2.8V is in error in the power consumption table. It should be 2.9V like in the operating conditions table.

Hi,　Mrudang

>I guess you want to say why it is described as 2.9V instead of 2.8V in the datasheet, right?

yes, you're right.

Corrected question：「why minimum operating voltage is NOT described as 2.8V in the datasheet?」

Dear Mrudang

Sorry for jumping in.

>SNVS supply support 2.8V. 

if so, why minimum operating voltage is described as 2.8V in the datasheet?

Hi Yutaka,

Yes, SNVS supply support 2.8V. Please refer the Note#7.

#7: While setting VDD_SNVS_IN voltage with respect to Charging Currents and RTC, refer to Hardware Development Guide for i.MX 6Dual, 6Quad, 6Solo, 6DualLite Families of Applications Processors (IMX6DQ6SDLHDG).
