PMC

The Power management controller (PMC) power management features enable both high speed operation and very low-power standby states. The PMC primarily controls voltage transitions for the SoC as it transitions to/from different low power modes; it also acts as a slave receiving dedicated power/clock request signals as well as wake events from various sources (e.g., SPI, I2C, RTC, USB) which can wake the system from deep sleep state. The PMC enables aggressive power-gating capabilities on idle modules and integrates specific logic to maintain defined states and control power domains during sleep and deep sleep modes.

Resets

If you assert reset, Core 3588E and onboard storage will be reset. This signal is also used for baseboard power sequencing.

PMIC_BBAT

An optional backup battery can be attached to the VCC_RTC module input to maintain the module RTC when VIN is not present. This pin is connected directly to the onboard PMIC. Details of the types of backup cells that optionally can be connected are found in the PMIC manufacturer’s data sheet. When a backup cell is connected to the PMIC, the RTC retains its contents and can be configured to charge the backup cell as well. RTC accuracy is 2 seconds/day in typical room temperature only.
The following backup cells may be attached to this pin:

  • Super capacitor (gold cap, double layer electrolytic)
  • Standard capacitors (tantalum)
  • Rechargeable Lithium Manganese cells

The backup cells must provide a voltage in the range 2.5 V to 3.5 V.

Power sequencing

Core 3588E is required to be powered on and off in a known sequence. Sequencing is determined through a set of control signals; the SYS_RESET* signal (when deasserted) is used to indicate when the carrier board can power on. The following sections provide an overview of the power sequencing steps between the carrier board and Core 3588E. Core 3588E and the product carrier board must be power sequenced properly to avoid potential damage to components on either the module or the carrier board system.

Power up

During power-up, the carrier board must wait until the signal SYS_RESET* is deasserted from Core 3588E before enabling its power; Core 3588E deasserts the SYS_RESET* signal to enable the complete system to boot.

Power down

Shutdown events can be triggered by either the module or the baseboard, but the shutdown event is always serviced by the baseboard. To do so, the baseboard deasserts POWER_EN, which begins the shutdown power sequence on the module. If the module needs to request a shutdown event in the case of thermal, software, or under-voltage events, it asserts SHUTDOWN_REQ*. When the baseboard sees low SHUTDOWN_REQ*, it should deassert POWER_EN as soon as possible.
Once POWER_EN is deasserted, the module asserts SYS_RESET*, and the baseboard may shut down. SoC 3.3 V I/O must reach 0.5 V or lower at most 1.5 ms after SYS_RESET* is asserted. SoC 1.8 V I/O must reach 0.5 V or lower at most 4 ms after SYS_RESET* is asserted.
