SN65DSI86: Leakage from REFCLK

Part Number: SN65DSI86


Hi,

My customer found there's a 0.9V leakage from VCCIO1/VCCIO2 pin when VCC1~VCC4/VCCA1~VCCA5 are 0V (during system sleep mode.)  But, this 0.9V leakage would disappear when REFCLK is turned off. 

  • Is such behavior expected?
  • Is there other way to prevent 0.9V leakage but not turning off REFCLK?

Thanks!

Antony

  • Hello Antony,
    By referring to during system sleep mode, do you mean suspend mode? Why would the VCC1~VCC4/VCCA1~VCCA5 terminals be 0v in suspend mode?
    I will confirm if this is a expected behavior and a correct condition since according to the datasheet the REFCLK is no failsafe.
    Regards
  • Hello Antony,

    Could you please provide more details on the customer implementation?

    By referring to during system sleep mode, do you mean suspend mode? Why would the VCC1~VCC4/VCCA1~VCCA5 terminals be 0v in suspend mode?

    As I commented before REFCLK is not a failsafe terminal, therefore, that is not a correct condition.

  • Hi Joel,

    Customer told me that Sleep Mode means the same thing as Suepend Mode actually, and they will actually turn off all the 4 power rails of SN65DSI86 (including VCC/VCCA/VCCIO/VPLL) while system enter sleep/suspend mode. Do you imply this is not an expected behavior to our chip? Please let us know your comments.

    THanks!

  • Hello Antony,

    The datasheet only mentions that the SCL, SDA, HPD, EN and the DSI inputs as failsafe terminals. This means that these pins will source or sink limited current or no current when chip supply voltage is not applied but voltage is applied on them (SCL, SDA, HPD, EN and the DSI input).

    Therefore, since REFCLK terminal is not failsafe they must turn off this signal when chip supply voltage is not applied. This is why the leakage they are detecting is expected.
