2.2.1 TPS65214 Multifunction Pins

TPS65214 has three multifunctional pins that are configurable, depending on the functional use. Table 2-2 shows the functions available for each of these pins as well as how these functions are configured and operated.

Note: Only one of the following pins, MODE/RESET or MODE/STBY, can be configured as MODE. If both are configured as MODE, then MODE/RESET takes priority and MODE/STBY is ignored.

Pin Name Pin Configuration Operation

GPIO/VSEL

 GPIO

Configurable as an input or an output through the GPIO_CONFIG bit in the GENERAL_CONFIG register.

For detailed operation, see GPIO/VSEL configured as GPIO section in the TPS65214 Integrated Power Management IC for ARM Cortex Processors datasheet.
VSEL

The pin level is used to set the output voltage of Buck1 or Buck3 through the VSEL_RAIL bit in the MFP_1_CONFIG register.

 For detailed operation, see GPIO/VSEL configured as 'VSEL' section in the TPS65214 Integrated Power Management IC for ARM Cortex Processors datasheet.
MODE/STBY MODE

Forces buck converters into PWM or permits auto-entry in PFM-mode.

 Pin status determines the switching mode of the buck converters.
STBY

Sets device in low power mode.

 Disables selected rails. Assert pin low for longer than tDEGLITCH_MFP. Both MODE and STBY can be combined. Level sensitive.

GPO/nWAKEUP

GPO

General purpose output used to sequence external rails

 Configurable power-up and power-down sequence or controlled through GPO_EN bit in the GENERAL_CONFIG register.

nWAKEUP

Signal to the host to indicate a power-on event.

Pin held low until device exits the INITIALIZE state. Polarity is not configurable.
