Intel PXA250 and PXA210 Applications Processors

Power and Clocking 8
8.1 Operating Conditions
Table 8-1 shows voltage, frequency, and temperature specifications for the applications processor
for four different ranges. The temperature specification for each range is constant; the frequency
range is operation voltage dependent. On a prototype design, the VCC/PLL_VCC regulator should
have a range from 0.85 V to 1.65 V. PLL_VCC and VCC must be connected together on the board
or driven by the same supply.

NOTE: When VCCN=2.5 V, the I/O signals that are supplied by VCCN are 2.5 V tolerant only. Do not apply 3.3 V to any pin
supplied by VCCN in this case.
