System Design Information
9.2.3 Transient Specifications
The ensure the long-term reliability of the device, the MPC7448 requires that transients on the core power
rail (V
DD
) be constrained. The recommended operating voltage specifications provided in Table 4 are DC
specifications. That is, the device may be operated continuously with V
DD
within the specified range
without adversely affecting the device’s reliability. Excursions above the stated recommended operation
range, including overshoot during power-up, can impact the long-term reliability of the device. Excursions
are described by their amplitude and duration. Duration is defined as the time period during which the V
DD
power plane, as measured at the VDD_SENSE pins, will be within a specific voltage range, expressed as
percentage of the total time the device will be powered up over the device lifetime. In practice, the period
over which transients are measured can be any arbitrary period of time that accurately represents the
expected range of processor and system activity. The voltage ranges and durations for normal operation
and transients are described in Table 14.
Note that, to simplify transient measurements, the duration of the excursion into the High Transient region
is also included in the Low Transient duration, so that only the time the voltage is above each threshold
must be considered. Figure 19 shows an example of measuring voltage transients.

Notes:
1. Permitted duration is defined as the percentage of the total time the device is powered on that the V
DD
power supply voltage may exist within the specified voltage range.
2. See Table 4 for nominal V
DD
specifications.
3. To simplify measurement, excursions into the High Transient region are included in this duration.
4. Excursions above the absolute maximum rating of 1.4 V are not permitted; see Ta bl e 2.
