Digital Output Power Supplies
The DVDD and DGND pins supply power to the digital
output drivers for pins DB[9:0], UNDER, and OVER.
DVDD is isolated from VDD so it can be at a voltage
level less than or equal to VDD. This allows the digital
outputs to interface with advanced digital ASICs requir-
ing reduced supply voltages. For example VDD can be
5.0 or 3.3V, while DVDD is 2.5V.
Power Supply Sequencing
There are no power supply sequencing issues if DVDD
and VDD of the XRD9855/XRD9856 are driven from the
same supply. When DVDD and VDD are driven
separately, VDD must come up at the same time or
before DVDD, and go down at the same time or after
DVDD. If the power supply sequencing in this case is
not followed, then damage may occur to the product due
to current flow through the source-body junction diodes
between DVDD and VDD. An external diode (5082-
2235) layed out close to the converter from DVDD to
VDD prevents damage from occurring when power is
cycled incorrectly.
Note: VDD must be greater than or equal to DVDD or the
source-body diodes will be forward based.
