PRODUCTION DATA
This section describes the external connections required for the digital pins. A VIO supply of 3.3V or 1.8V is commonly used as the voltage level for the digital signals that require an external pull-up. However, higher voltage can be used (up to the maximum spec). The VIO supply for the digital pins on the PMIC must be the same as the IO domain for the digital signal that is connected to on the processor. 100kΩ is the recommended pull-up resistor for EN/PB/VSENSE. Pull-up resistor for I2C pins can be calculated based on system requirements. All other digital pins can use 10kΩ.
If GPO or GPIO is assigned to the first slot of the power-up sequence to enable an external discrete, they can be pulled up to VSYS.
The EN/PB/VSENSE pin can be driven externally to enable the PMIC. However, if the application does not have an external signal dedicated to drive this pin, it can be pulled up to VSYS.
| Digital Pin | External Connection |
|---|---|
| nINT | Open-drain output. Requires external pull-up. |
| nRSTOUT | Open-drain output. Requires external pull-up. |
| EN/PB/VSENSE | When configured as EN, this signal can be driven by external logic to enable the PMIC. When configured as PB, this signal requires a pull-up resistor connected to the VSYS pin. Push-button is optional. When configured as VSENSE, this signal requires an external resistor divider to monitor the pre-regulator. |
| SDA | I2C clock signal. Requires external pull-up. |
| SCL | I2C data signal. Requires external pull-up. |
| GPIO/VSEL | When configured as GPIO, this pin requires external pull-up. When configured as VSEL, the initial state (pull-up or pull-down) must be set before the assigned PMIC rail ramps up. For example, if this pin is used to set the voltage on BUCK3, the state must be set before BUCK3 powers up. |
| GPO/nWAKEUP | Open-drain general purpose output or power-on event signal for the host. Requires external pull-up. |
| MODE/STBY | Input digital pin. The initial state (pull-up or pull-down) must be set before the power-up sequence is complete. |
