About the ConnectCore® 6UL Power supply Power supply Power supply architecture The ConnectCore 6UL requires a primary power supply input. This supply is the main power domain to the on-module NXP PF3000 power management IC (PMIC), which generates all required supply voltages for the module as well as the external interfaces. The system can be powered from voltages up to 5.5V. See Powering the system from a nominal 5V power supply (4.5V to 5.5V) and Powering the system for battery-powered applications (3.
About the ConnectCore® 6UL Power supply Powering the system for battery-powered applications (3.7V - 4.5V) Note In the implementations shown above, the coin cell/supercapacitor is connected to VCC_LICELL pin of the ConnectCore 6UL module, allowing coin-cell charger applications. This VCC_LICELL connection feeds the VSNVS regulator of the PMIC, which supplies the SNVS power domain of the CPU.

About the ConnectCore® 6UL Micro Controller Assist™ See System power-up sequence for more information about the power-up sequence of the ConnectCore 6UL. Note The POR_B line is also connected to the PMIC. The PMIC won't release this line until it is switched on and the entire starting sequence is finished (a few ms after the latest regulator is turned on). This means that even if the MCA releases the reset line before the PMIC is ready, the CPU won't go out of reset.

About the ConnectCore® 6UL Micro Controller Assist™ External voltage reference The MCA_IO2/EXT_VREF pin provides an accurate voltage reference of 1.2V that can be used to provide a reference voltage for sensors and/or analog devices (such as comparators or DACs). When this pin is used as external reference voltage or as the internal reference of the MCA analog-todigital converter, an external capacitor of 100nF must be connected between the pin and ground and as close as possible to the module pad.
About the ConnectCore® 6UL Micro Controller Assist™ The main features of the MCA watchdog include: n Configurable timeout between 1 and 255 seconds. n Configurable to generate interrupt or system reset. n Configurable to generate full-system reset (including the MCA itself) or CPU-only reset. Fullsystem reset can include a PMIC off/on, depending on the device configuration. See the MCA software documentation for additional information about how to configure and access the watchdog timer.
About the ConnectCore® 6UL Micro Controller Assist™ The MCA IO table provides information about the capabilities of the MCA IO pins so you can easily identify suitable IOs to be used as tamper inputs. Any MCA IO pin can be configured as tamper output. Tamper pin configuration To learn ore about tamper pin configuration, see Tamper detection interface in the software documentation. Power management The MCA plays a key role in the power management activities of the ConnectCore 6UL module.
About the ConnectCore® 6UL Micro Controller Assist™ ON/RUN mode The module enters the ON state after a power-on or system-reset event. In this mode, the PMIC is running at full power so all voltage regulators are generating the nominal voltage for this mode. The cpu reset line is de-asserted and the processor is running at normal speed, performing DVFS if the system was configured to do so. In this state, the PWR_ON line is asserted low, indicating that the module is ON.
About the ConnectCore® 6UL n Micro Controller Assist™ The processor goes into low power, disabling as much functionality as possible and keeping active only the peripherals configured to wake the system from SUSPEND. n The DDR memory is set to self-refresh mode to preserve its contents while reducing power consumption. n The PMIC goes into standby mode, configuring the regulators in the configured mode (on, off, with a different voltage compared to ON state).
About the ConnectCore® 6UL CryptoAuthentication device MCA_VIN_DET signal The on-module MCA is powered from a dedicated external power rail, VCC_MCA. As recommended in the reference designs (see Power supply architecture), this power supply is provided by an external 3.3V regulator. If the system requires system time to be kept when there is no power, you must use a coin-cell battery to power the MCA while it keeps the RTC up to date in low-power mode.
