We have a new design that uses the UCD9090 sequencer and out of the 7 prototype boards that I have tried to program so far, 3 of them are giving the same error. The exact error that I am getting from the Fusion Digital Power Designer software is:
wrote 15 of 358 parameters from the project file (343 errors), but could not save the device configuration to flash: STORE_DEFAULT_ALL sendbyte on UCD9090 @ Address 65d error: NACK
The exact sequence of steps I am using to attempt to program the device are:
- Connect the USB Interface Adapter to the UCD9090.
- Power on the board.
- Open the Fusion Digital Power Designer.
- It correctly identifies and connects to the UCD9090.
- Since the device on this board has never been programmed, the software tells me I don't have any rails defined and asks me what to do.
- I select "Import a device configuration from a project file" and click Next.
- I select the project file that we have developed and successfully used with at least 4 other boards and click Next.
- During the write to the device, there are a massive number of errors in the Error Log.
- When I click Next, I am presented with the error message given above.
I have tried the above steps multiple times on each of the boards that have failed and get the same results each time. Now, given that this is a new design, I can't rule out the possibility of a hardware issue, so I'm really looking for ways to try to troubleshoot this problem.
