AFE58JD28: Question about power supply sequencing

Part Number: AFE58JD28

I am in the process of designing the system power supply for a device that included the AFE58JD28. In the datasheet (under NDA) section 11.1, figure 122 the timing of the power supply initialization is shown. I do not clearly understand the relationships between t1, t2, and t3. None of these value are exactly defined, and t1 and t3 are shown as having the same end points.

  • I am assuming t1 is the allowable rise time of DVDD_1P2.
  • I am assuming t2 is the allowable rise time of all other supplies. (?)
  • I am assuming t3 is the allowable delay between enabling supplies.

Questions:

  • Is t2 only specifying the allowed rise time of the noted supplied, or is it trying to indicate maximum DVDD_1P2 valid to the other supplies being vaild?
  • Under the note, is t3 < t1 correct? Based on text I was expecting this to read t3 > t1.
  • Based on the text, is it adequate to assure DVDD_1P2 > AVDD_1P8 while DVDD_1P2 < 1.2V, or should AVDD_1P8 be 0V while DVDD_1P2 < 1.2V
  • Are there any power supply sequencing requirement during power down?

Thanks, Chip Weller

  • Hello Chip,

    Your assumptions are correct.

    Regarding your questions,
    1. t2 is the allowed rise time range for the other supplies.
    2. This is a typo in the datasheet. It should read t3 > t1. Thanks for bringing this up. We will fix it in the next rev.
    3. The idea is to have the DVDD_1P2 supply reach 1.2V before powering up other supplies.
    4. Power down will be in the reverse sequence.
