Notes
Notes:
1. Functional and tested operating conditions are given in Table 2. Absolute maximum ratings are stress ratings only, and
functional operation at the maximums is not guaranteed. Stresses beyond those listed may affect device reliability or cause
permanent damage to the device.
2. Caution: MVIN must not exceed GV DD by more than 0.3 V. This limit may be exceeded for a maximum of 20 ms during
power-on reset and power-down sequences.
3. Caution: OVIN must not exceed OVDD by more than 0.3 V. This limit may be exceeded for a maximum of 20 ms during
power-on reset and power-down sequences.
4. Caution: LVIN must not exceed LV DD by more than 0.3 V. This limit may be exceeded for a maximum of 20 ms during
power-on reset and power-down sequences.
5. (M,L,O)VIN and MVREF may overshoot/undershoot to a voltage and for a maximum duration as shown in Figure 2.
6. OV IN on the PCI interface may overshoot/undershoot according to the PCI Electrical Specification for 3.3-V operation, as
shown in Figure 3.
2.1.2
Power Sequencing
The MPC8541Erequires its power rails to be applied in a specific sequence in order to ensure proper device
operation. These requirements are as follows for power up:
1. VDD, AVDDn
2. GVDD, LVDD, OVDD (I/O supplies)
MPC8541E PowerQUICC™ III Integrated Communications Processor Hardware Specification, Rev. 4.2

Freescale Semiconductor
Electrical Characteristics
Items on the same line have no ordering requirement with respect to one another. Items on separate lines
must be ordered sequentially such that voltage rails on a previous step must reach 90 percent of their value
before the voltage rails on the current step reach ten percent of theirs.
NOTE
If the items on line 2 must precede items on line 1, please ensure that the
delay does not exceed 500 ms and the power sequence is not done greater
than once per day in production environment.
NOTE
From a system standpoint, if the I/O power supplies ramp prior to the VDD
core supply, the I/Os on the MPC8541E may drive a logic one or zero during
power-up.

Figure 2. Overshoot/Undershoot Voltage for GVDD/OVDD/LVDD
The MPC8541E 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. OVDD and LVDD based receivers are simple CMOS I/O
circuits and satisfy appropriate LVCMOS type specifications. The DDR SDRAM interface uses a
single-ended differential receiver referenced the externally supplied MVREF signal (nominally set to
GVDD/2) as is appropriate for the SSTL2 electrical signaling standard.

Notes:
1. The values do not include I/O supply power (OVDD, LVDD, GVDD) or AVDD.
2. Junction temperature is a function of die size, on-chip power dissipation, package thermal resistance, mounting site (board)
temperature, ambient temperature, air flow, power dissipation of other components on the board, and board thermal
resistance. Any customer design must take these considerations into account to ensure the maximum 105 degrees junction
temperature is not exceeded on this device.
3. Typical power is based on a nominal voltage of VDD = 1.2V, a nominal process, a junction temperature of Tj = 105° C, and a
Dhrystone 2.1 benchmark application.
4. Thermal solutions likely need to design to a value higher than Typical Power based on the end application, TA target, and I/O
power
5. Maximum power is based on a nominal voltage of VDD = 1.2V, worst case process, a junction temperature of Tj = 105° C, and
an artificial smoke test.
6. The nominal recommended VDD = 1.3V for this speed grade.

Notes:
1. Caution: The CCB to SYSCLK ratio and e500 core to CCB ratio settings must be chosen such that the resulting SYSCLK
frequency, e500 (core) frequency, and CCB frequency do not exceed their respective maximum or minimum operating
frequencies.
2. Rise and fall times for SYSCLK are measured at 0.6 and 2.7 V.
3. Timing is guaranteed by design and characterization.
4. This represents the total input jitter—short term and long term—and is guaranteed by design.
5. For spread spectrum clocking, guidelines are ±1% of the input frequency with a maximum of 60 kHz of modulation regardless
of the input frequency.

2. EC_GTX_CLK125 is used to generate GTX clock for TSEC transmitter with 2% degradation. EC_GTX_CLK125 duty cycle
can be loosened from 47/53% as long as PHY device can tolerate the duty cycle generated by GTX_CLK of TSEC.

Notes:
1. DLL lock times are a function of the ratio between the output clock and the platform (or CCB) clock. A 2:1 ratio results in the
minimum and an 8:1 ratio results in the maximum.
2. The CCB clock is determined by the SYSCLK × platform PLL ratio.

Notes:
1. GVDD is expected to be within 50 mV of the DRAM GVDD at all times.
2. MVREF is expected to be equal to 0.5 × GVDD, and to track GVDD DC variations as measured at the receiver. Peak-to-peak
noise on MVREF may not exceed ±2% of the DC value.
3. VTT is not applied directly to the device. It is the supply to which far end signal termination is made and is expected to be
equal to MVREF. This rail should track variations in the DC level of MVREF.
4. Output leakage is measured with all outputs disabled, 0 V ≤ VOUT ≤ GVDD.
