Parameter Value Description
Temperature Grade

-2V

-3V

These are the only valid options to enable SmartVID.
Power Characteristics Maximum This is the only option that shows the benefit of the static power reduction features for SmartVID.
Note: The SmartVID Power Reduction field shows the power savings resulting from using SmartVID.
