<section end="History" />__FORCETOC__<section begin="Body" />This page provides an overview of the issues related to powering AURA SOM. For more details about the signals that are involved, please see also [[AURA SOM/AURA Hardware/Pinout Table|this page]].
== Power Supply Unit (PSU) and recommended power-up sequence ==
Implementing correct power-up sequence for i.MX93 SoC ''TBD: SOC ''' processors is not a trivial task because several power rails are involved.
AURA SOM simplifies this task by embedding all the needed circuitry. The following picture shows a simplified block diagram of PSU/voltage monitoring circuitry:
The PSU is composed of two main blocks:
* power management integrated circuit (PMIC)* additional generic power management circuitry that completes PMIC functionalities.
The PSU:
* generates the proper power-up sequence required by the SoC, SOC processor and surrounding memories, and peripherals* synchronizes the powering up of carrier board's circuitry in order to prevent back powering.power* provides some spare regulated voltages that can be used to power carrier board devices
=== Power-up sequence===
The typical power-up sequence is the following:
# VIN_SOM (+3.3V) main power supply rail is powered.# CPU_PORn (active-low) is driven low by PMIC; PMIC initiates power-up sequence needed by iMX93x processor.# SOM_PGOOD goes up when all SoC, memories, and I/O power rails are ready.# Finally PMIC releases CPU_PORn; this signal brings the processor out of reset.''TBD: descrizione dei segnali che intervengono nella PS''
==== Note on SOM_PGOOD BOARD_PGOOD usage ====
SOM_PGOOD is generally used on carrier board to drive loads such as DC/DC enable inputs or switch on/off control signals in order to prevent back power. ''TBD: verificare le note sul BOARD_PGOOD''
Depending BOARD_PGOOD is generally used on the kind of such loads, SOM_PGOOD might not be able carrier board to drive them properly. On AURA SOM this signal is driven by a push-pull output at NVCC_3V3 rail, with max 20 mA output currentloads such as DC/DC enable inputs or switch on/off control signals.
==== Note Depending on CPU_PORn ===the kind of such loads, BOARD_PGOOD might not be able to drive them properly. In these cases a simple 2-input AND port can be used to address this issue. The following picture depicts a principle schematic showing this solution.  VDD_SOM denotes the power rail used to power AURA SoM.  [[File:AURA-power-good.png]]  <section end=Body/>
Internally to the SOM, CPU_PORn is pulled-up with 100 kOhm.<section end="Body" />
