DS90UB928Q-Q1: Question about Power-up sequence

Part Number: DS90UB928Q-Q1

Hi Champs,

 My customer asks following questions about Power-up sequence.

 Q.1) Does DS90UB928 have power-on-reset functionality?

 Q.2) Regarding to “VDD33 delay time”, Table 10 defines it 0ms as lower limit.

If VDD33 ramps up faster than VDDIO, what negative effect is expected on the device?

Will it cause the permanent damage on the device?

Best Regards,

Nobuo Fujihara

  • Hi Fujihara-san,

    Q.1) Does DS90UB928 have power-on-reset functionality?
    Control registers are reset when PDB is toggled low. PDB must be held low for a minimum of 2ms.

    Q.2) Regarding to “VDD33 delay time”, Table 10 defines it 0ms as lower limit.
    If VDD33 ramps up faster than VDDIO, what negative effect is expected on the device?
    Will it cause the permanent damage on the device?

    If VDD33 and VDDIO are supplied separately, it is recommended that VDDIO should ramp 100us prior to VDD33. The minimum limit in Table 10 is 0ms because these supplies can be tied together and ramped simultaneously. I need to discuss with my design team if this will cause any damage, at a minimum it could cause the device to power-up in an unknown state.

  • Hi Ryan-san,

     

    Thanks for your reply.

     

    For Q.1, I would like to confirm below.

    Device does not have automatic reset functionality when device power-on.

    Therefore internal registers and other modules are in unstable state after power-on,

    PDB toggling is required to make device in stable state.

    Is my understanding correct?

     

    For Q.2, please confirm with design team, I will wait for the feedback.

     

    Best regards,

    Nobuo

  • Hi Fujihara-san,

    Q1) You are correct, there is no power-on reset, and PDB toggling is required to ensure the device is in a stable state.

    Q2) I have confirmed with the design team, and no damage is expected if the power is sequenced incorrectly, but the device is not guaranteed to power-up in the correct state. Please have your customer adhere to the power sequencing requirements in the datasheet.

    Regards,
    Ryan
  • Hi Ryan-san,

    I got further questions from customer.

    Regarding Q2, customer asked what exact negative effects would be assumed by violating power-up sequence between VDDIO and VDD33.
    Could you list up assumed ones?

    Best regards,
    Nobuo
  • Hello,

    Sorry for additional question.
    There is no description about VDDIO and VDD33 power-down sequence.
    No special care for power down sequence?

    Best regards,
  • Hi Fujihara-san,

    In general, if the power-up sequence is not followed correctly, the internal blocks may not power up in the correct sequence. This will result in invalid data, or the PLL may not be able to attain lock.

    Regarding power-down sequence, you are correct there are no power down sequence requirements.

    Regards,
    Ryan
  • Hi Ryan-san,

    Thanks for the answers.

    Customer asked further question about accuracy of 200MHz built-in RC oscillator.

    Would you provide this information?
