14. Integrated Voltage Regulator

The EM342 integrates two low dropout regulators to provide 1.8 V and 1.25 V power supplies as detailed in

Table 14.1. The 1V8 regulator supplies the analog and memories, and the 1V25 regulator supplies the digital core.

In deep sleep, the voltage regulators are disabled.

When enabled, the 1V8 regulator steps down the pads supply voltage (VDD_PADS) from a nominal 3.0 V to 1.8 V.

The regulator output pin (VREG_OUT) must be decoupled externally with a suitable capacitor. VREG_OUT should

be connected to the 1.8 V supply pins VDDA, VDD_RF, VDD_VCO, VDD_SYNTH, VDD_IF, and VDD_MEM. The

1V8 regulator can supply a maximum of 50 mA.

When enabled, the 1V25 regulator steps down VDD_PADS to 1.25 V. The regulator output pin (VDD_CORE, Pin

17) must be decoupled externally with a suitable capacitor. It should connect to the other VDD_CORE pin (Pin 44).

The 1V25 regulator can supply a maximum of 10 mA.

The regulators are controlled by the digital portion of the chip as described in "6. System Modules" on page 33.

An example of decoupling capacitors and PCB layout can be found in the application notes (see the various Ember

EM35x reference design documentation).
