Internal LVR Power Sequencing
All supplies should rise monotonically. Sequencing of the supplies is controlled by the
82573.
Power Up Sequencing and Tracking
During power up, the sequencing and tracking of the internally controlled supplies
(2.5V and 1.2V) are controlled by the 82573. No specific motherboard requirements
are necessary to prevent electrical overstress or latch-up.
The 82573 analog voltage (2.5V) never exceeds the 3.3V supply at any time during the
power up. This is because the 2.5V supply is generated from the 3.3V supply when the
internal voltage regulator control logic is being used. Figure 3 shows the internal LVR
circuit. The 2.5V supply tracks the 3.3V ramp.
The 82573 core voltage (1.2V) never exceeds the 3.3V at any time during the power
up. This is because the 2.5V supply is generated from the 3.3V supply when the
internal voltage regulator control logic is being used. Figure 3 shows the internal LVR
circuit. The 1.2V ramp is delayed internally to prevent it from exceeding the 2.5V and
3.3V supply at any time. The delay is proportional to the slope of the 3.3V ramp.
The delay is approximated by Tramp(3.3V)*0.25 < Tdelay(1.2V) < Tramp(3.3V)*0.75.
Tramp is defined to the ramp rate of the 3.3V input to the internal voltage regulator
circuit.

Time
• It is recommended that the voltage on a lower voltage rail never exceed the
voltage on a higher voltage rail during power on.
• There are no minimum time requirements between the voltage rails as long as they
power up in sequence: 3.3V → 2.5V → 1.2V.
• All 3 supplies must be stable for at least 80 ms before LAN_PWR_GOOD is
asserted. 100 ms is preferable if possible.
• A PCIe* reset must occur after LAN Power Good is active.
Internal LVR Power Down Sequencing
There are no specific power down sequencing and tracking requirements for the 82573
device. The risk of latch-up or electrical overstress is small because the only charge
storing in decoupling capacitors is left in the system.
