Figure 2-13. EMI routing architecture
Both EMI1 and EMI2 operate at OVDD (1.8 V) levels. For devices not operating at
1.8 V, EMI signals are bi-directionally shifted to the compatible voltage using voltage
level translators.
NOTE
In the LX2160ARDB, no multiplexer routing is needed for EMI
connections.
The table below summarizes the EMI connections.
