4.1 Supply voltage and power management
The BMA280 has two distinct power supply pins:
• V
DD
is the main power supply for the internal blocks;
• V
DDIO
is a separate power supply pin used for supplying power for the interface
There are no limitations on the voltage levels of both pins relative to each other, as long as
each of them lies within its operating range. Furthermore, the device can be completely
switched off (VDD = 0V) while keeping the VDDIO supply on (VDDIO > 0V) or vice versa.
When the V
DDIO
supply is switched off, all interface pins (CSB, SDI, SCK, PS) must be kept
close to GND
IO
potential.
The device contains a power-on reset (POR) generator. It resets the logic part and the register
values after powering-on V
DD
and V
DDIO
. Please note, that all application specific settings which
are not equal to the default settings (refer to 6.2 register map), must be re-set to its designated
values after POR.
There are no constraints on the switching sequence of both supply voltages. In case the I²C
interface shall be used, a direct electrical connection between V
DDIO
supply and the PS pin is
needed in order to ensure reliable protocol selection. For SPI interface mode the PS pin must
be directly connected to GND
IO
.
