7.2.4.1 IO Power Supply

The processor IOs used for GPMC interface are powered by VDDSHV0 supply rail (IO supply for GPMC IO group).

The recommendation is to connect VDDSHV0 and the IO supply rail of the attached device to the same supply source.

VDD (core voltage) of the attached device can be powered from an independent supply source.
