3.3 Frequency and power range
The core voltage range is 1.25 ±4 %V while the IO voltage ranges are 1.8 ±10 %V,
2.5 ± 10 %V and 3.3 ± 10 %V.
Tabl e 2 shows some use cases of STA2064 in NORMAL mode:
The background of Tabl e 2 is the maximization of data throughput on the DRAM interface,
matching the currently available DRAM speed grades: 133 MHz, 166 MHz and 200 MHz (LP
DDR) and 333 MHz (DDR2). Despite this, it is possible to program the ARM core, the
internal bus and the DDR to run at different speeds than the ones mentioned in Ta bl e 2 The
ARM bus clock and the bus clock are derived from the same common source (VCO of the
PLL1) but are asynchronous each other. The DDR frequency can be the same
(synchronous) or derived with a different prescaling (1,2,3,4,5,6,8,9 or 10) from the VCO of
PLL1 or PLL2 (asynchronous configuration).
STA2064 embeds a complete GPS subsystem where both gate logic and dedicated DSP
work together. There are specific constraints in this subsystem in terms of minimum
frequency in order to guarantee the target GPS specifications.
In the lowest power consumption state as possible, only V
dd_on
is powered and the target
current drawn is 20 μA. In this state, the clock is not running and the current leakage is
mainly due to the Backup memory. The 20 μA current limit has to be considered with
Process best (leakage worst case condition), V
dd_on
1.3V (1.25V plus 4% tolerance) and
Junction Temperature 50
o
C (considering, while in this state, the ambient temperature is
equal to the junction temperature).
