The MPC8540 core voltage must always be provided at nominal 1.2 V (see Table 2 for actual
recommended core voltage). Voltage to the processor interface I/Os are provided through separate sets of
supply pins and must be provided at the voltages shown in Table 2. The input voltage threshold scales with
respect to the associated I/O supply voltage. OV and LV based receivers are simple CMOS I/O

single-ended differential receiver referenced the externally supplied MV signal (nominally set to
REF
GV /2) as is appropriate for the SSTL2 electrical signaling standard.
