CCS/PGA411-Q1: what may cause the bits of register "DEV_STAT 4" error?

Part Number: PGA411-Q1

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I read the  register of DEV_STAT 4 , the bits  "ABISTF"  and "SFAULT" were  always  set to 1.

I want to know , what reason may cause these two bits to be 1 ?

please help.

thank you.

  • Mark,

    SFAULT will be set to 1 if a fault occurs. When SFAULT is 1, the FAULT pin will be Hi-Z, indicating a fault. If the ABISTF fault is flagged, that would cause SFAULT to be high as well.

    ABISTF occurs if ABIST does not complete successfully. This can occur in a number of ways:
    - ABIST runs during every power-up, but it can also be manually run by setting ABIST_EN. If ABIST_EN is set by the user, but then DIAGEXIT is immediately set without allowing ABIST to complete, ABISTF can occur.
    - ABISTF is designed to double check many of the fault diagnostics, so if the PGA411-Q1 is damaged, ABISTF may detect it.

    I will run a few more tests this week to double check which board states during power-up might also cause ABISTF. Can you give me a few more details about your set-up?
    - Are you using the EVM?
    - Have you modified the EVM/connected anything to it?
    - Have you programmed the EEPROM on the EVM?

    Thanks,

  • I don't use EVM, and OUTA/OUTB/OUTZ, sometimes maybe error as well
  • Mark,

    You started a new thread to discuss the OUTA/B/Z errors, so we can discuss that there.

    Can you send me a schematic of the board you are using? You can send this to me through the private message feature on e2e.

    Thanks,
