Power Supply Unit (PSU) and recommended power-up sequence[edit | edit source]
Implementing correct power-up sequence for iMX8MPlus processors is not a trivial task because several power rails are involved.
ORCA 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
- additional generic power management circuitry that completes PMIC functionalities
The PSU:
- generates the proper power-up sequence required by the SOC processor and surrounding memories and peripherals
- synchronizes the powering up of carrier board in order to prevent back power
Power-up sequence[edit | edit source]
The typical power-up sequence is the following:
- 3.3VIN main power supply rail is powered
- SNVS domain signals are pulled-up (unless carrier board circuitry keeps this signal low for any reason)
- CPU_PORn (active-low) is driven low by PMIC
- RTC_RESET_B are internally released after 200ms
- PMIC initiates power-up sequence needed by iMX8M processor
- BOARD_PGOOD goes up when NVCC_3V3 (CPU I/O power rail) is ready
- CPU_PORn is deasserted after the last regulator to bring the processor out of reset
Note on BOARD_PGOOD usage[edit | edit source]
BOARD_PGOOD is generally used on carrier board to drive loads such as DC/DC enable inputs or switch on/off control signals.
Depending on the kind of such loads, BOARD_PGOOD might not be able to drive them properly because it has a 20mA output current absolute maximum rating.
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 ORCA SoM.
Additionally, we suggest using an IC with Schmitt trigger input ports.
