7.3.7 Linear Voltage Regulators

A linear voltage regulator is integrated in the device for DVDD. The DVDD regulator can be used to provide VREF reference voltage. DVDD can supply a maximum of 2mA load. For proper operation, bypass the DVDD pin to GND using a ceramic capacitor.

The DVDD output is nominally 5 V. When the DVDD LDO current load exceeds 2mA, the output voltage drops significantly.

If a digital input must be tied permanently high (that is, M0, M1 or STL_MODE), tying the input to the DVDD pin instead of an external regulator is suggested. This method saves power when the VM power is not applied or the device is in sleep mode. The DVDD regulator is disabled and current does not flow through the input pulldown resistors. For reference, logic level inputs have a typical pulldown of 200 kΩ.

The nSLEEP pin must not be tied to DVDD, else the device will never exit sleep mode.
