Operating Conditions
The STB03xxx Digital Set-Top Box Integrated Controller can interface to either 3.3 V or 5 V technologies. 5 V
interfaces are supported only for drivers/receivers supporting 5 V tolerance (see Drivers/Receivers). The
range for supply voltages is specified for five-percent margins relative to a nominal 2.5 V and 3.3 V power
supply.
Note: Device operation beyond the conditions specified in the table below is not recommended. Extended
operation beyond the recommended conditions may affect device reliability.

Power Considerations
Power dissipation is determined by operating frequency, temperature, and supply voltage, as well as external
source/sink current requirements.
Power Sequencing
The 2.5 V power supply must maintain the following relationship whenever the 3.3 V power supply voltage is
greater than 0.4 V:
2.5 V power supply voltage >= 0.4 V
Supply excursions outside this range must be limited to less than 25 ms duration during each power-up or
power-down event.
General Recommendation
System designs that derive the 2.5 V supply from a regulator running from the 3.3 V supply are recommended
to ensure a fixed relationship between the two voltage supplies. Such usage substantially reduces the poten-
tial for the 3.3 V supply to be present without the 2.5 V supply.
Recommended Connections
Power and ground pins should all be connected to separate power and ground planes in the circuit board to
which the STB03xxx is mounted. Unused input pins must be tied inactive, either high or low.
