    DC/DC Mode Under the DC/DC mode: DCDC_IN and VDD_IO use the same power supply;   Use the internal DC/DC to power the system;  Power the external TCXO by LDO_X;  Connect RTC Crystal externally; Connect LNA and SAW externally; ...
  • Page 8: Attention

    UC6580 Hardware Reference Design 2 Attention Power DCDC_IN and VDD_IO use the same external power supply. For all the power supplies, the ripple voltages must not exceed 50 mV. The value of LDO_X must be lower than VDD_IO and the default is 1.7 V to 1.9 V. To improve the product stability, it is recommended to control the power on and off of UC6580 by the controlling terminal of the power supply.
  • Page 9: Reset Signal

    Reset Signal UC6580 supports system reset. The reset signal is active low and the active time should be no less than 5 ms. RTC is usually driven by an on-chip 32.768 kHz oscillator, which needs to be connected to an external 32.768 kHz crystal. Instead of this, UC6580 supports directly inputting RTC_I with an external 32.768 kHz digital clock signal.
  • Page 10: Tcxo

    UC6580 Hardware Reference Design TCXO The CLK_I pin connects an external TCXO of 26 MHz. The power supply of TCXO can be LDO_X or an external independent LDO power supply. In order to ensure the chip boots normally, the 26 MHz clock should work stably no later than 10 ms after the chip is powered.
