6 Compatibility with X9HP
This power supply design can be compatible with Semidrive X9HP, where pin-to-pin devices can be used to lessen re-design effort.
RTC and safety power supply for both MCUs are the same, so same power tree can be reused in powering X9HP.
There are some differences in powering the AP rails for X9HP and X9SP. Table 6-1 summarizes the differences in power requirement of X9HP and X9HP.
| Rail Names | Power Requirement in X9HP | Power Requirement in X9SP |
|---|---|---|
| VDD_AP + VDD_PHY(VDD_MIPI, VDD_PCIE, VDD_USB, VDDD_USB) | 0.8V, 8A(combined with VDD_AP and VDD_PHY) | 0.85V, 10A+0.45A |
| VDD_DRAM | 0.8V, 8A(combined with VDD_AP and VDD_PHY) | 0.85V, 2A |
| VDD_GPU | 0.85V, 5A | 0.85V, 8A |
| VDDQ_DRAM | 1.1V, 1.75A | 1.1V, 2A |
| VDDA, VDDA_MIPI | 1.8V, 1A+50mA | 1.8V, 1A+300mA |
| VDD_CPU | 0.8V, 6A | 0.85V, 10A |
| VDDH | 3.3V, 450mA | 3.3V, 450mA Combined with VDDIO_3V3, 3.3V, 300mA |
Figure 6-1 shows AP power tree with LP87565V-Q1, LP875230C-Q1, TLV76733-Q1, TPS6281120-Q1, and TPS74518-Q1 devices powering the X9HP rails. Note that the PMICs for VDD_AP, VDD_DRAM and VDD_CPU are not pin-to-pin replaceable (two PMICs (LP87562-Q1 and LP87521-Q1) are used for these three rails in powering X9SP, while only one PMIC (LP87565V-Q1) is used for X9HP).

TreeSince other rails are still pin-to-pin interchangeable, Table 6-2 shows the pin-to-pin options for rail VDD_GPU, VDDQ_DRAM, VDDA_1V8, VDDA_MIPI, VDDH_3V3 (and VDDIO_3V3), VDDQLP_DRAM and VDD_LP4.
| Rail Names | Allocated Device for X9HP | Allocated Device for X9SP |
|---|---|---|
| VDD_GPU, VDDQ_DRAM, VDDA_1V8, VDDA_MIPI_1V8 | LP875230C-Q1 | LP87563-Q1 |
| VDDH_3V3 (and VDDIO_3V3) | TLV76733-Q1 | TLV76733-Q1 |
| VDDQLP_DRAM | TPS628501-Q1 | TPS628501-Q1 |
| VDD_LP4_1V8 | TPS74518-Q1 | TPS74501-Q1 (substitution is optional) |
There are three options when re-selecting the devices for achieving the compatibility between X9HP and X9SP.
- Substituting PMICs: As discussed previously, use LP87562TRNFRQ1 and LP87521SRNFRQ1 for X9SP to substitute LP87565VRNFRQ1 for X9HP in powering VDD_AP, VDD_DRAM and VDD_CPU.
- Substitute PMICs with discrete bucks: End
users can power VDD_AP, VDD_DRAM and VDD_CPU with discrete pin-to-pin bucks for
simple upgrade compatibility. See Table 6-3 for an example substitution.Table 6-3 Examples of Substitution

(originally for VDD_GPU, VDDQ_DRAM, VDDA_1V8 and VDDA_MIPI_1V8) with discrete
pin-to-pin bucks, as an extension of previous discussions. See Table 6-4 for an example substitution.Table 6-4 Examples of Substitution
