MPU-9250 Product Specification 
Document Number: PS-MPU-9250A-01 
Revision: 1.0 
Release Date: 01/17/2014 
4.20  Bias  and LDO 
The bias and LDO section generates the internal supply and the reference voltages and currents required by 
the  MPU-9250. Its two inputs are an unregulated VDD and a VDDIO  logic reference supply voltage. The 
LDO output is bypassed by a capacitor at REGOUT. For further details on the capacitor, please refer to the 
Bill of  Materials for External Components. 
4.21  Charge Pump 
An on-chip charge  pump generates the high voltage  required  for the MEMS oscillators.

4.23  Power Sequencing Requirements and Power on Reset 
During power up and in normal operation, VDDIO must not exceed VDD. During power up, VDD and VDDIO 
must be monotonic ramps. As stated in Table 4, the minimum VDD rise time is 0.1ms and the maximum rise 
time is 100 ms. Valid gyroscope data is available 35 ms (typical) after VDD has risen to its final voltage from 
a cold start and valid accelerometer data is available 30 ms (typical) after VDD has risen to its final voltage 
assuming a 1ms VDD ramp from cold start. Magnetometer data is valid 7.3ms (typical) after VDD has risen 
to its final voltage  value from  a cold start.
