Register Description
Register 0x10 (VREG_CTRL):
This register controls the use of the voltage regulators and indicates the status of these.
• Bit 7 - AVREG_EXT
If set this register bit disables the internal analog voltage regulator to apply an external regulated
1.8V supply for the analog building blocks.
• Bit 6 - AVDD_OK
This register bit indicates if the internal 1.8V regulated voltage supply AVDD has settled. The bit
is set to logic high, if AVREG_EXT = 1.
• Bit [5:4] - Reserved
• Bit 3 - DVREG_EXT
If set this register bit disables the internal digital voltage regulator to apply an external regulated
1.8V supply for the digital building blocks.
