DP83630 internal power structure

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DP83630

We are investigating some strange supply related issue and would like some deeper insight into the DP83630 internal supply structure.

 

The device has the following supply pins:

 

IO_VDD:              I/O VDD supply

ANA33VDD:        Analog VDD supply

 

ANAVSS:              Analog GND

CD_VSS:               Analog GND

IO_CORE_VSS:  Digital GND

IO_VSS:                                Digital GND

 

There is not CORE VDD, but from the above GND naming, I would expect at least the digital part of core to run on the IO_VDD supply.

 

Q1)

What supply(ies) is powering the internal part (core) of the device?

 

Q2)

From the above signal naming it is indicated that at least some part of the core is powered from the IO_VDD. This supply is variable and either 2.5 or 3.3V.

Is the core run directly on either the IO or analog supply, or does the device include an internal LDO or like which supplies the core with power at a lower voltage?

3.3V seems high for a core like this.
