High-Efficiency, Low-IQ, PMICs with Dynamic
Voltage Management for Mobile Applications
Power-Up and Power-Down Timing
Figure 6 shows the power-up sequence for the Intel
XScale family of processors. In general, the supplies
should power up in the following order:
1) POWER-UP: V8 V5 V1 and V2 V3 and V4
2) REG6 and REG7 typically power external card slots
and can be powered up and down based on appli-
cation requirements.
Note that the Intel XScale processor controls
EN1/EN2/EN5 with the same SYS_EN signal, yet Intel’s
timing diagrams show that V5 is supposed to power up
before V1 and V2. Because of the Intel XScale family’s
timing parameters, most systems connect EN1/EN2/
EN5 together and drive them with SYS_EN. When pow-
ering up, this connection ensures that V5 powers up
before V1 and V2 (only when V5 is powered from IN).
Intel XScale Power Configuration Register (PCFR)
The MAX8660/MAX8661 comply with the Intel XScale
power I2C register specifications. This allows the PMIC
to be used along with the Intel XScale processor with
little-to-no software development. As shown in Table 9,
there are many I2C registers, but since the Intel XScale
processor automatically updates the PMIC through its
power I2C interface, only the REG6 and REG7 enable
bits need be programmed to fully utilize the PMIC.
