4.2 Power Sequence Requirements
4.2.1
Power-up Considerations
From a power-up supply sequencing perspective, Atmel SAMA5D3x power supply inputs are categorized into two
groups:
Group 1, the core group, containing VDDCORE, VDDUTMIC and VDDPLLA
Group 2, the periphery group, containing all other power supply inputs.
Figure 4-1 gives the recommended power-up sequence with the following precisions:
VDDBU, when supplied from a battery is an always-on supply input and is therefore not part of the power
supply sequencing. When no backup battery is present in the application, VDDBU is part of Group 2.
VDDFUSE is the only power supply that may be left un-powered during operation. This is possible if and
only if the application does not access the fuse box in write mode. VDDFUSE must be applied when
programming the fuse box.
VDDIODDR may be nominally supplied at 1.2V when the SAMA5D3x is equipped with an LPDDR2 memory.
In this case, VDDIODDR can be considered as part of Group 1.
