VPP (eFuse ROM programming supply)

VPP pin can be left floating (HiZ) or terminated to ground during power-up/power-down sequences and during normal device operation. This supply is only sourced while programming the eFuse. The following hardware requirements must be met when programming keys in the OTP eFuses:

  • The VPP power supply must be ramped up after completion of proper device power-up sequence.
  • The VPP supply has high current transients and local bulk capacitors are likely needed near the VPP pin to assist the LDO transient response.
  • Select the power supply with quick discharge capability or use a discharge resistor. A Maximum current of 400 mA is required for programming. It is recommended to use an LDO for power the VPP.
  • If an external power supply is used, the supply is applied after the processor power supplies are stable.
  • The VPP power supply must be disabled (left floating (HiZ) or grounded) when not programming the OTP registers.

For more information, see the VPP Specifications for One-Time Programmable (OTP) eFuses section in the Specifications chapter of the device-specific data sheet.
