TUSB7320 - Power up sequence and restriction for VDD33, VDDA_3P3, VDD11

Guru 19785 points

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TUSB7320

Hi Team,

Could you please help us on the following questions about TUSB7320 power up sequencing ?

[Q1]
Could you please tell us the timing requirements for these voltages ?
Is there any restriction ?

[Q2]
Is there a problem if VDD33 and VDDA_3P3 is ramped up at separate timing ?

[Q3]
Could VDD11 ramp up befor VDDA_3P3 or VDD33 ?
Is there ESD protection diode from VDD11 to VDDA_3P3 (3.3V rail) ?

[Q4]
Is there a restriction for voltate ramp up time ? (i.e. VDD33 must rise time must be xx ms.)

Best Regards,

Kawai

  • Hello Kawai,

       The power-up sequece for the TUSB7320 is the following:

    1. Assert PERST# to the device.
    2. Apply 1.1-V and 3.3-V voltages.
    3. GRST# must remain asserted until both the 1.1-V and 3.3-V voltages have reached the minimum recommended operating voltage, see Section 11.2. If a 48 MHz reference clock is used instead of a crystal, GRST# must remain asserted until the 48 MHz clock is stable.
    4. Apply a stable PCI Express reference clock.
    5. To meet PCI Express specification requirements, PERST cannot be deasserted until the following two
    6. delay requirements are satisfied:
      • Wait a minimum of 100 μs after applying a stable PCI Express reference clock. The 100-μs limit satisfies the requirement for stable device clocks by the de-assertion of PERST.
      • Wait a minimum of 100 ms after applying power. The 100-ms limit satisfies the requirement for stable power by the de-assertion of PERST.

        Where

      • there are no special timing restrictions between the voltages
      • VDD11 could ramp before VDDA_3P3 or VDD33. 
      • There are no requirement for an ESD protection diode between VDD11 and VDD33

        For a detailed schematic implementation, you can review the EVM user's manual (http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/sllu146b/sllu146b.pdf)

  • Hi Diego-san,

    Thank you for your reply.

    For my questions, I understood as below.
    Could you please give us your opinion to the voltage rise time, Q4 ?

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    [Q1]
    Could you please tell us the timing requirements for these voltages ?
    Is there any restriction ?

    [A1]
    There is no timing restriction for VDD33, VDDA_3P3, VDD11 power up.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    [Q2]
    Is there a problem if VDD33 and VDDA_3P3 is ramped up at separate timing ?

    [A2]
    No Problem.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    [Q3]
    Could VDD11 ramp up befor VDDA_3P3 or VDD33 ?
    Is there ESD protection diode from VDD11 to VDDA_3P3 (3.3V rail) ?

    [A3]
    VDD11 can ramp up before VDDA_3P3 or VDD33.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    [Q4]
    Is there a restriction for voltage rise time ? (i.e. VDD33 rise time must be faster than xx ms.)

  • Hello Kawai-san,

         There is no timing restriction for the VDD33 rise time. The only point to concern is to achieve a stable voltage.

    Best regards,

    Diego.

  • Hi Diego-san,

    Thanks for the answer.
