Getting clean baseline in place is huge step but actual production interfaces will need to comprehend some OPP to AVS dependencies beyond on/off.

AVS as used in many OMAP designs (mostly > OMAP4430) do have some per OPP dependent details:

- Multiple PMICs are in use. In some current designs the AVS step size is different per voltage range. At OPP change time you have to reconfigure several AVS parameters before enable.

- ABB-ldo sequencing and parameters in tightly coupled with OPP and AVS enables.

- Good power savings can be had in future 1.5/3.5 by adjusting nominal to calibrated-plus-margin voltage.
