9.1.5.3 Definition of System Conditions for
Measuring On Parameters
The SC3200’s current is highly dependent on two func-
tional characteristics, DCLK (DOT clock) and SDRAM fre-
quency. Table 9-5 shows how these factors are controlled
when measuring the typical average and absolute maxi-
mum processor current parameters.
9.1.5.4 DC Current Measurements
Table 9-6 and Table 9-7 show the DC current measure-
ments of the SC3200.

Note 1. See Table 9-3 on page 352 for nominal and maximum voltages.
Note 2. A DCLK frequency of 50 MHz is derived by setting the display mode to 800x600x8 bpp at 75 Hz, using a display
image of vertical stripes (4-pixel wide) alternating between black and white with power management disabled.
Note 3. A DCLK frequency of 135 MHz is derived by setting the display mode to 1280x1024x8 bpp at 75 Hz, using a display
image of vertical stripes (1-pixel wide) alternating between black and white with power management disabled.
