Part Number:TPS53641
We have cases that our boards fails SVID on 1.8V intermittently. The Fusion data captured when the board passes fine, and when the
Board sees SVID shows that there are differences. (Refer to attached files for Fusion data ).
Since it is the same board, the same components, boards are on bench with fan being applied to them( no over-temp, no over-current). What
could contribute to reading different values? Note that once board is in SVID or working file, the Fusion data is reliable, that is it doesn’t change
upon “Refreshing All Parameters”, and “Polling Status” shows the same values untill boards are powered off.
When board is powered back on, it could be good, or go into SVID state.
Further investigation seems the value shown in Fusion for boards that show SVID issue, are the factory default value. It means
To me that the device, on power up, doesn’t get the chance to load the values into it’s registers. Would you please
Give me some guidelines that I could check, and correct the loading of values on power up.
On Power up, the time delay to pin 14 (V3R3) is requested to have a slew rate of larger than 1.5V/msec. this means to reach 3.3V, it should
Have a ramp up of 2.2msec. The boards that are working they show to have a ramp up of 770 usec. On the board that sometimes it fails
With SVID issue (the VR output is at VBOOT value of 1.7v), when I changed the ramp up to 3msec, then it always fails. When I changed it
Back to around 770 usec, then it started to pass sometimes( once in 5 times power on), and goes into SVID the rest of times. Any input on this?
Thanks,
The difference that I see (in Fusion 'all config") between boards passing and boards with SVID, are:
Vout_max : 3.04V when in SVID
1.8V when passing
SVID Alert register 0x36 when in SVID
0x37 when passing
Vout_command 1.7V when in SVID
1.8V when passing
Iout_OC_Fault_Limit 67A when in SVID
68A when passing
Iout_OC Warn_Limit 54A when in SVID
55A when passing
Iout_output_current Max 85 Min 0.00 when in SVID
Max 85 Min 10.00 when passing
Temperature Max 144.0 Min 34:00 when in SVID
Max 144.0 Min 23:00 when passing
