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).

3.4 Power states
The following power states are defined:
OFF: V
dd_on
and V
dd
are not applied (all data in the backup RAM is lost): no data
retention is kept in the SDRAM
NORMAL: Each peripheral runs at its nominal speed with the possibility of turning off
all the unused peripherals (peripheral kernel clock gated)
SLOW: PLL1 bypassed. ARM and bus runs at crystal clock. PLL2 runs at its nominal
speed. PLL1 can be optionally put in power down
DOZE: It is like SLOW mode with the ARM running either at 19 MHz or 32 kHz
STANDBY: PLLs run at their nominal speed. Clocks are gated, ARM in WFI (Wait For
Interrupt) state
DEEP-SLEEP: V
dd
powered off. V
dd_on
powered (RTC, few GPIOs, backup RAM) and
clocked at 32 kHz making the wakeup possible. The context is put in the external
SDRAM while in self refresh mode. Only the V
ddio_on
region must be powered
SLEEP: It is like the DEEP-SLEEP mode, with the difference that V
dd
and V
ddio
are
also applied and all the PLLs are off (optional for PLL2)
BACKUP: It is like DEEP-SLEEP, with the difference that the context is not saved in the
external SDRAM. When coming out from Backup to any power state, the ARM core will
execute the first code instruction after 2ms from power on reset release.
While in NORMAL, SLOW AND STANDBY, V
dd_on
and V
dd
are the same (10% tolerance
between them) and cannot be changed. Also the power to the several IO groups is kept
unchanged.
In order to change the V
dd_on
and V
dd
values, the system has to transit to either OFF,
SLEEP, DEEP-SLEEP or BACKUP and then back to the selected state.
In order to keep the power consumption as low as possible, the target voltage mentioned in
DEEP-SLEEP is considered at 1.0V.
A dedicated FSM manages the power state transitions among NORMAL, SLOW, DOZE
AND SLEEP. All other states mentioned above are SW variants of the ones managed by the
FSM.
Tabl e 3 shows the summary of the power states supported by STA2064.

3.5 System wakeup and power down
Typically the system using STA2064 will never be powered off, even when the user switches
the device off using the main power switch. The main power switch works in a way that puts
the device either in Backup or in DEEP-SLEEP mode. In this state, the only blocks within
STA2064 that are powered are the RTC, PMU, PWL, SRC and the backup RAM; at system
level, only the V
dd_on
is powered.
The following wakeup methods are possible:
The user presses a button on the unit that causes all of the main power supplies to
start. After an appropriate delay, the processor's reset line is lifted and allows the code
to start executing
The internal alarm feature triggers a dedicated signal that will cause all of the main
supplies to start. After an appropriate delay, the processor's reset line is lifted and
allows the code to start execution
Considering the above mentioned wakeup system, while in DEEP-SLEEP and in BACKUP
state also, some dedicated IO lines must be powered:
POR (input)
POWEREN (output)
VDDOK and BATOK (input)
WAKE (input)
32 kHz crystal (SXTALI and SXTALO)
OSC32KOUT (output)
In order to keep the external DRAM in self refresh while in DEEP-SLEEP, CKE of the DRAM
must be kept low. Since all the IOs are not powered in DEEP-SLEEP, in order to make the
self refresh working, an external pulldown resistor is needed.
