440EPx – PPC440EPx Embedded Processor
Data Sheet
Power Sequencing
Startup sequencing of the power supply voltages is not required. However, a power-down cycle must complete
(OV and V are below +0.4V) before a new power-up cycle is started.

Analog Voltage Filter
The analog voltages (AVdd, EAVdd, and UnAVdd) used for the on-chip PLLs can be derived from the logic voltage, but must be
filtered before the PPC440EPx. A Separate filter, as shown below, is recommended for each voltage.
• The filter should keep the analog voltage to analog ground compression/expansion due to noise less than +50
mV.
• Keep all wire lengths as short as possible.
• Analog grounds must be brought out and connected to the digital ground plane at the filter capacitor.
• The impedance of the ferrite bead should be much greater than that of the capacitor at frequencies where
noise is expected.

Notes:
1. Typical power is measured and is based on a nominal voltage of VDD = +1.5V, TC = 100°C, while running Linux and a test application
that exercises each function with representative traffic.
