3.1.2 Power-On Ramp Time
This section describes the AC electrical specification for the power-on ramp rate requirements for all voltage supplies (including
GVDD/SXPVDD/SXCVDD/QVDD/GVDD/NVDD, all VDD supplies, MVREF, and all AVDD supplies). Controlling the
power-on ramp time is required to avoid falsely triggering the ESD circuitry. Table 39 defines the power supply ramp time
specification.

Notes: 1. Ramp time is specified as a linear ramp from 10% to 90% of nominal voltage of the specific voltage supply. If the ramp is
non-linear (for example, exponential), the maximum rate of change from 200 to 500 mV is the most critical because this range
might falsely trigger the ESD circuitry.
2. Required over the full recommended operating temperature range (see Table 3).
3. All supplies must be at their stable values within 50 ms.
4. The GVDD pins can be held low on the application board at powerup. If GVDD is not held low, then GVDD will rise to a
voltage level that depends on the board-level impedance-to-ground. If the impedance is high (that is, infinite), then
theoretically, GVDD can rise up close to the VDD levels.
3.1.3 Power Supply Guidelines
Use the following guidelines for power-up sequencing:
• Couple M3VDD with the VDD power rail using an extremely low impedance path.
• Couple inputs PLL1_AVDD, PLL2_AVDD and PLL3_AVDD with the VDD power rail using an RC filter (see Figure
37).
• There is no dependency in power-on/power-off sequence between the GVDD1, GVDD2, NVDD, and QVDD power
rails.
• Couple inputs M1VREF and M2VREF with the GVDD1 and GVDD2 power rails, respectively. They should rise at
the same time as or after their respective power rail.
• There is no dependency between RapidIO supplies: SXCVDD1, SXCVDD2, SXPVDD1 and SXPVDD2 and other
MSC8152 supplies in the power-on/power-off sequence
• Couple inputs SR1_PLL_AVDD and SR2_PLL_AVDD with SXCVDD1 and SXCVDD2 power rails, respectively,
using an RC filter (see Figure 38).
External voltage applied to any input line must not exceed the I/O supply voltage related to this line by more than 0.6 V at any
time, including during power-up. Some designs require pull-up voltages applied to selected input lines during power-up for
configuration purposes. This is an acceptable exception to the rule during start-up. However, each such input can draw up to
80 mA per input pin per MSC8152 device in the system during power-up. An assertion of the inputs to the high voltage level
before power-up should be with slew rate less than 4 V/ns.
The device power rails should rise in the following sequence:
