3 Power domains

This section provides details about the power domains on the chip and in the system.

3.1 i.MX RT500 power domains always-on, GPIO, and analog

The i.MX RT500 has several digital and analog supplies to power internal circuits and

the GPIO ports that interface to the system. Table 2 lists the power rails; minimum,

maximum, and typical voltages for each power rail.

Note: The minimum recommended filtering for each supply, including the bulk storage

and local decoupling capacitors; and a short description of the domain supply.

•VDD_AO1V8 is a low power always-on supply that powers the internal modules and

system registers that keep the chip ready to respond to low-power wake-up events.

These include the real-time clock module, general-purpose registers, the RESETN

input, and PMIC control pins.

•The chip has five separate GPIO power domains that are used to source I/O functions

around the chip. All five I/O power rails operate at 1.8 V, and one (VDDIO_3) can

operate at 3.3 V as well.

•The VDD1V8 power rail supplies on-chip analog functions.

3.2 i.MX RT500 power domains, ADC, and CORE logic supplies

1. The ADC operates at 1.8 V and can only measure up to the VDDA level, see in the

VDDA_ADC1V8 row of Table 3.

2. The VDDCORE is the internal core logic supply that requires a 1.0 V for Power-On and

can be changed in the application.

i.MX RT500 Hardware Design Guide

The minimum voltage is 0.7 V in active mode to save power, but the level can

be reduced in retention mode. This supply requires quite a bit of decoupling

capacitance. Refer the following steps on how to apply the minimum quantity of

capacitors across the 12 of VDDCORE pins.

•When LDO_ENABLE is externally tied low, the user must boot at VDDCORE = 1.0

V or higher (low-power/normal clock mode - OTP setting - BOOT_CLK_SPEED)

or VDDCORE = 1.13 V (High-Speed clock - OTP setting - BOOT_CLK_SPEED).

Thereafter, the VDDCORE can be adjusted to the desired level.

•When LDO_ENABLE is externally tied high, the on-chip regulator to the VDDCORE

core voltage in PMC is set to the default value of 1.05 V (low-power/normal clock

mode - OTP setting - BOOT_CLK_SPEED) or 1.13 V (high-speed clock - OTP setting

- BOOT_CLK_SPEED). Thereafter, the POWER_SetLdoVoltageForFreq API

function can be used internally to configure the on-chip regulator voltage for the

VDDCORE.

•When performing any OTP read/write function, the VDDCORE voltage must be set to

1.0 V or higher when LDO_ENABLE is externally tied high or low.

3. For the ADC analog reference, VREFP is a 1.8 V reference that must be the same

level as for VDDA_ADC1V8.

3.3 i.MX RT500 power domains, internal regulator

The LDO_ENABLE input signal is listed in this power domain section because it is the

control signal that enables the internal VDDCORE LDO regulator when an external

VDDCORE supply is not used. This pin is pulled high to enable the internal LDO and tied

low when an external supply provides VDDCORE. Refer to Section 3.6.

Along with the minimum quantities of bulk and decoupling capacitors, we must see Note

on where to place the capacitors and parametric recommendations for the capacitors.

In the high-speed designs, which use ball-grid array packaging, the balls are soldered to

the top layer, the signals are routed on at least two layers, and the power pins are routed

on two or more other layers. The area directly below the MCU on the bottom layer is

where most, if not all, of the decoupling capacitors should be connected to the ground

and power domains.

Capacitor package size, tolerance, rated voltage, and dielectric recommendations are

presented for the three main capacitors used in the decoupling networks, see Table 4.

Capacitor information is presented in the Section 7.

Signal Description

LDO_ENABLE This input enables the on-chip regulator to

power core logic through the VDDCORE pins

when high. Tie low if an off-chip PMIC is used to

supply power to the core logic.

This pin cannot be left floating. A 100 kohm

external pull-up or 10 kohm external pull-down

resistor is recommended.

Table 4. Capacitor information

Note:

1. Decoupling and bulk capacitors must be placed on the bottom side of the PCB,

underneath the MCU for the smallest loops.

•For the 0.22 μF capacitors, use the 0201 packages, 10 V, 20 %, X5R, or X7R

•For the 1 µF capacitors, use the 0402 packages, 10 V, 10 %, X5R, or X7R

•For the 10 µF capacitors, use the 0603 packages, 16 V, 20 %, X5R, or X7R

Note: The 0805 package is acceptable.

•VDDIO_0, VDDIO_1, VDDIO_2, and VDDIO_4 supplies can be powered between 1.71

V to 1.89 V.

•VDDIO_3 can be powered between 1.71 V and 3.6 V.

3.5 Power-on sequence using PMIC (internal LDO disabled)

The internal and external power rails must follow a sequence to avoid start-up issues.

These sequences using a PMIC for the VDDCORE node, with the internal CORE LDO

disabled, and external supplies with the internal VDDCORE regulator enabled are similar.

1. The always-on supply must be powered first or in conjunction with the VDD1V8

supplies which power the main digital functions that initialize the MCU.

User guide Rev. 0 — 15 November 2022

7 / 48

NXP Semiconductors IMXRT500HDG

i.MX RT500 Hardware Design Guide

2. PMIC mode pins are the outputs that are controlled by an always-on supply. These

pins must have external pullups to VDD_AO1V8 and get validated after several

microseconds once VDD_AO1V8 is stable.

3. The VDDA_ADC1V8 supply and VREFP reference are powered-up at the same time as

VDD1V8 or later.

4. The VDDIO rails and VDDA_BIAS are also powered at the same time as VDD1V8 or

later.

CAUTION: When VDDIO_3 is 3.0 V, there must be a delta of not more than 1.89 V

during the rampup.

5. VDDCORE is powered last by the PMIC, which handles the power sequencing.

Note: When LDO_ENABLE is externally tied low, the user must boot at VDDCORE =

1.0 V or higher (Low-power / Normal clock mode - OTP setting - BOOT_CLK_SPEED)

or VDDCORE = 1.13 V (High-Speed clock - OTP setting - BOOT_CLK_SPEED).

Thereafter, the VDDCORE can be adjusted to the desired level. The PMIC also

provides the RESETN deassertion after VDDCORE is stable.

When a PMIC is not used, enable the internal VDDCORE LDO to provide VDDCORE. The

PMC releases RESETN internally when VDDCORE is stable.

Note: For ERR050716, generally, all 1.8 V power pins are supplied by the same

regulator, so all are applied at the same relative time. Decoupling capacitor charging

delays are not considered to be significant when all the 1.8 V domains are powered at

the same time.

Figure 2. Power-on sequence

The power-on sequences are shown in the Figure 2 are as follows:

1. VDD_AO1V8, VDD1V8, and VDD1V8_1 should be powered first. If using PMIC, mode

pins are pulled-up to always-on supply until mode pins are active.

2. VDDA_ADC1V8 and VREFP can be powered concurrently with VDD_AO1V8 and

VDD1V8 or later.

3. VDDIO_x and VDDA_BIAS can be powered concurrently with VDD1V8 range or later.

The delta voltage between VDDIO_3 and VDD1V8 must be 1.89 V or less when

VDDIO_3 is 3.3 V.

4. Power-up VDDCORE should not be ramped-up until after all the other supplies have

completed the rampup.

5. Hold RESETN low until VDDCORE is valid when PMIC is used. The only difference

when using internal VDDCORE LDO (LDO_ENABLE = 1) is that internal PMC releases

internal RESETN when VDDCORE is stable.

3.6 NXP PCA9420 PMIC

The NXP PCA9420 PMIC designed to be used with the i.MX RT500 and i.MX RT600
