The V
DDL
voltage is selectable with the VPROG3 pin: 2.5 V if connected to GND and 3.3 V
if left open (an internal pull-up is present). V
CORE
voltage is programmable connecting an
external resistor divider at the feedback pin (VCORE_FDBK).
Once programmed to a value at power-up, this value cannot change during the power cycle.
Purposely the system runs at a single fixed value for V
DDL
and V
CORE
for the life of the
product.
All the linear regulators start with a controlled slew rate when the pre-regulated voltage
reaches V
DDL_ENUP
threshold as indicated in the electrical characteristics table. All the
linear regulators are short circuit protected with a limited current.
5.4 Tracking regulators
Four low drop-out tracking regulators (VSA, VSB, VSC and VSD) are supplied by the output
of the switching pre-regulator. They track the output voltage of the VDD5 linear regulator
with the accuracy as specified in the electrical characteristic table.
The VSA regulator also tracks an external voltage reference (TRACK_REF pin) and the
tracking voltage is selected by the REF_SEL pin.
If REF_SEL is tied High (5 V) then V
TRK_REF
is tracked. If REF_SEL is left open then V
DD5
is tracked. There is an internal pull-down on REF_SEL.
The tracking supplies are intended to drive loads that are external to the ECU so they are
short circuit protected with the current limited. The outputs of the tracking regulators also
withstand short circuit to the battery.
A short circuit to GND, continuous or intermittent on one tracking supply will not affect any
other supply, including the preregulator output voltage V
B
. In addition to these requirements,
all sensor supplies shall be capable of operating with up to a 15 μF load on the supply line.
This load may be present during initial startup, or be applied after the supply has been
powered up. In either case, the application of this load shall not cause the tracking
regulators to be permanently disabled.
VSB, VSC and VSD regulators can be disabled with VS_EN pin.
5.5 VKAM and VSTBY linear regulators
These two outputs are fully integrated low quiescent current low drop out regulators. The
input VBAT is used as the source of these supplies. These outputs are operational during
both standby and run mode; these are the only outputs operational during standby (V
BAT
not
present).
The VKAM regulator has two programmable levels: 1.0 V (VPROG1 pin connected to GND)
or 1.5 V (if this pin is left open, an internal pull-up is present).
The V
STBY
regulator has two programmable levels: 2.6 V (VPROG2 pin connected to GND)
or 3.3 V (if this pin is left open, an internal pull-up is present).
The STBY_OK pin indicates when the V
STBY
is out of range (voltage below the threshold
indicated in the electrical characteristic table). Once driven low it should stay low for a
minimal amount of time allowing external circuitry to latch.
