an internal 40k
Ω pullup for about 4µs to see if the pin
voltage can be forced high (Figure 7). If the pin voltage
cannot be pulled to a logic high, the pin is considered
low impedance, and its impedance-mode logic state is
low. If the pin can be pulled to a logic high, the imped-
ance is considered high and so is the impedance-
mode logic state. Similarly, if the voltage level on the
pin is a logic high, an internal switch connects the pin
to an internal 8k
Ω pulldown to see if the pin voltage can
be forced low. If so, the pin is high impedance, and its
impedance-mode logic state is high. In either sampling
condition, if the pin’s logic level does not change, the
pin is determined to be low impedance, and the imped-
ance-mode logic state is low.
A high pin impedance (logic high) is 100k
Ω or greater,
and a low impedance (logic low) is 1k
Ω or less. The
guaranteed levels for these impedances are 95k
Ω and
1.05k
Ω to allow the use of standard 100kΩ and 1kΩ resis-
tors with 5% tolerance.
Output Voltage Transition Timing (TIME)
The MAX1813 is designed to perform output voltage
transitions in a controlled manner, automatically mini-
mizing input surge currents. This feature allows the cir-
cuit designer to achieve nearly ideal transitions,
guaranteeing just-in-time arrival at the new output volt-
age level with the lowest possible peak currents for a
given output capacitance. This makes the IC very suit-
able for IMVP-II CPUs and other CPUs that operate in
two or more modes with different core voltage levels.
The IMVP-II CPUs operate at multiple clock frequencies
and require multiple core voltages. When transitioning
