TUSB7340: high current of 1.1V core power supply

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TUSB7340, TPS74401

Hi all, 
My customer faced with the problem about the high output current of 1.1V core supply after reset.
And the value of the current is about 1.3A-rms. 

The power supply for 1.1V is bsed on TPS74401 and is the same with TUSB7340 EVM.
And USB devices are not connected.

Could you please give me any advice for resolving this problem?
The system is with reference to the circuit diagram of the EMV, Also, B8 pin is changed to NC as the datasheet stated.

 

Regards,

Toshi

  • Hello,
    Are they measuring the current consumption of the TUSB7340 EVM?
    Is the above picture only for reference?
    Regards
  • Hi Elias-san,
    thanks for you reply.
    They are measuring it on their board, not the EVM.
    The above picture is only for reference and also they are copying the EVM circuit.

    Best regards,
    Toshi
  • Hi Elias-san,

    I've got the dump file of the registers.
    Also they are using a standard driver for TUSB7340 which is attached the SOC.

  • Thanks,
    I don't think an excessive current is caused by a bad configuration.
    Is the TUSB7340 working properly?
    Is it getting hot?
    Please share the schematics for review.
    What is the operating system? If they are using linux, could they install a windows 10 to see if the current consumption is the same?
    Regards
  • Hi Elias-san,
    Thanks for your support.

    Yes, the device is getting hot, so they are measuring the core supply current.
    I would like to send the schematics to you by email due to my customer prepared.
    Could you tell me your email address?

    About OS, they are using LINUX, and it's difficult to install WINDOWS OS right now due to the specific SoC.
    Anyway, I would like to update the status.
    About current wave form which is like an oscillation waveform,
    they found that there are mistakes in the connection of current measurement and the regulator of the feedback circuit.
    After modification of the circuit, the measurement current value is as follows;

    During RESET: 395mA <--- Is it acceptable?
    Idle (no devices): 605mA <--- maybe Idle because no device connection, but still high
    one USB3.0 device connected: 675mA
    one USB2.0 device connected: 610mA

    The result shows that still higher current consumption than expected current, 60 - 70mA during Idle .

    Thanks and regards,
    Toshi
  • Hi Elias-san,

    Is the condition of 63mA power consumption which is shown in datasheet with following Dynamic D3 future?
    www.ti.com/.../slla318.pdf

    Regards, Hirotaka Inoue
  • Hello,
    The dynamic D3 feature works only when handling WAKE# events so it will not affect the current behavior.
    The 675mA is a value that makes sense, the fact that they don't connect anything on the USB ports does not mean the Host controller is in a power saving state, the USB driver is the one that will send the device to a power saving state.

    If they want to get the 70mA consumption than they have to make sure their linux is sending the TUSB7340 to a power saving state.
    Regards
