1. General Operating Conditions & Voltages:

️· Core Voltage (NVDD): Not explicitly defined but assumed to be typical. The document refers to it as NVDD, but there's no specification of it
️· DDR2 Voltage (GVDD): 1.8V ± 0.090 V. This is crucial for DDR2 SDRAM operation. The document stresses that this value is very critical.
️· Reference Voltage (MVREF): 0.5 x GVDD. This should track GVDD variations. Peak-to-peak noise on MVREF should not exceed 2% of its DC value.
️· Termination Voltage (VTT): Ideally equal to MVREF and tracks it.
️· Input Voltages (VIH/VIL): Defined in terms of GVDD and MVREF.
️· Output Leakage Current (IOZ): -9.9 to +9.9 μA.
️· Output High/Low Current (IOH/IOL): Specified for particular output voltages.

2. Clock & Timing (SYS_CLK_IN):

️· Frequency (fSYS_CLK_IN): 24 to 66.67 MHz.
️· Period (tSYS_CLK_IN): 15 to 41.67 ns.
️· Rise/Fall Time (tKH/tKL): 0.6 to 1.2 ns.
️· Duty Cycle: 40% to 60%.
️· Jitter: Max ±150 ps. This is a critical parameter; low jitter is desirable.
️· Spread Spectrum: Up to 1% down-spread @ 33 kHz is allowed.
️· PLL Lock Time: System PLL: 100 μs; e300 core PLL: 100 μs.

3. Reset Initialization (HRESET/PORESET):

️· Minimum assertion time of HRESET: 32 * tSYS_CLK_IN
️· Input hold time for POR configuration signals: 0 ns
️· Time for device to turn off drivers on POR configuration signals: 4 ns
️· Time for device to turn on drivers on POR configuration signals: 1 ns

4. DDR2 SDRAM Characteristics (GV DD = 1.8V):

️· Input/Output Capacitance (CIO): 6 to 8 pF.
️· Delta Input/Output Capacitance (CDIO): 0 to 0.5 pF.
️· This section stresses the need for careful voltage management and control, particularly around GVDD and MVREF.

5. Important Notes/Considerations

️· Voltage Tracking: Maintaining stable and well-tracked voltage levels is *critical* for optimal device operation.
️· Jitter: Low jitter is important for stable clock signals.
️· Timing Margins: Pay attention to timing specifications, particularly regarding setup and hold times.
️· DDR2 SDRAM: Proper voltage management and termination are essential for reliable DDR2 operation.
️· Spread Spectrum: If used, it must adhere to the specified parameters.
️· PLLs: The lock times of the PLLs are important parameters for boot-up and initialization sequences.
