VCCPLL Pin Requirements
When the voltage on the VCCPLL power supply pin exceeds the V
CC
 pin voltage by 0.5 V at any 
time, including the power up and power down sequences, excessive currents may permanently 
damage on-chip electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection diodes. The damage may accumulate over 
multiple episodes.
Pragmatically, this problem only occurs when the VCCPLL and V
CC
 pins are driven by separate 
power supplies or voltage regulators. Applications that use one power supply for VCCPLL and 
V
CC
 are not typically at risk. Verify that your application does not allow the VCCPLL voltage to 
exceed V
CC
 by 0.5 V.
The VCCPL low-pass filter recommended in the Developer’s Manual does not promote this 
problem.
