TPS3305-18

As you see above ,Now I have a problem。 When I press the reset button, the tps3305-18 output does not respond. What could be the cause of this problem? I measure The power quality of 3.3V and 1.8V are all very good。  And the WDI input is High resistance state。

  • hello,is there anyone WHO can give me some advice?

    Feel your pain - yet might not (much) of that (pain) be 'self-inflicted?'

    As for your advice request - kindly note:

    • this forum focuses upon the TM4C family of MCUs   (your arrival here remains a 'mystery' - your TPS device appears to be a voltage monitor)   [yet possibly - an MCU Supervisor - and that - if true - deserved mention]
    • no link was provided to your device - such is (usually) required.   ('lessens the burden' upon your 'would-be' helper crüe - who have (other) items on their agenda)
    • I looked hard at your schematic (appears to be PCad) and believe that 'POReset' is the device's output pin.       That should have been explained...    Looking further - I now note that (both) RST & /RST - may serve as outputs
    • you do not note 'just how' you've determined that "Output" fails.    Could 'output' be a 'pulse' - which is brief & not sustained?     (thus passes un-noted - unless  you've a scope set to capture/view - 'very brief events!')     A DMM is most 'unlikely' to 'note' a short-duration pulse!
    • I doubt that pin 'WDI' should 'float.'     (you note - high resistance)    Most always - device input pins should be tied to VDD or VSS - most safely-done via pull-up/down resistors - tied to a supply rail.   (VDD or VSS)
    • it is always wise to provide more detail (i.e. some detail) as regards the device's 'purpose.'    Not always do posters choose the 'best/most appropriate device' -  superior device recommendations may be provided - but (only) when such 'purpose info' IS included
  • Hello,

    The problem is most likely caused by R130. Since the /MR pin is internally pulled up to VDD via a pull-up resistor, when you press the reset button at /MR, R130 acts as the bottom resistor of a resistor divider with the top resistor internal to the device. If you short R130, this ensures that a button press will in fact pull /MR to GND potential which will meet the VIL requirement provided in the specs table of the datasheet.

    Please provide feedback if this fix works for solving your issue. Thanks!

    Poster's schematic reveals 'R130' as 0Ω - clearly - it is (already) shorted!      Thus - the (diagnosis) - 'Shorting the 0Ω (R130)' appears (pardon)  'without merit.'      There is an external pull-up - fed to the switch side of R130 - which based upon vendor's commentary ('internally pulled up') appears superfluous.

    Poster notes WDI as 'high resistance' - which as the 'very first diagnostic response noted'  - (may) indicate 'floating' - which is most always - NOT good!     And indeed - device's datasheet orders pin 'WDI' to be regularly pulsed.   (i.e. w/in 1.6S)    (it may also (maybe) be held high - such was 'not revealed' by a serious read/review of the datasheet!)

    Often - when 'fine detail' is required ... it proves necessary to 'RTFM' - and in so doing - the following reveals:

    Thus - as the above reveals:

    • the earlier (first diagnostic posting) correctly surmised that the /Reset Output was a 'Pulse'  (200mS in duration) - which may be 'missed' if (only) a DMM serves as 'output monitor.'    That said - if pin /MR is held low - for a prolonged period - then the output will extend - to equal the time that /MR is active - plus the 200mS 'pulse time.'   (thus accommodating - DMM monitoring.)
    • the (unclear) high resistance of the 'WDI pin' - if floating - is improper.   In addition - the datasheet states only that  'signal transitions' must arrive - to prevent the Reset from being active.   (at minimum - convention would dictate that pin WDI be 'pulled up' - should a 'ready source' of 'signal transitions' - not yet - be available.   (which appears the case - here)    May it be noted that vendor's timing diagram (technical term follows) 'stinks' - as it reveals only the device's response to a prolonged 'low logic level' - which may suggest that a 'high logic level' (may) escape the dreaded Reset!

    In light of the above - it may just prove of (some) value - for follow on 'diagnostic posters' - to read/review - that earlier submitted.     (even by 'outsiders' - especially when such submission is 'high' in detail...)

  • Hello,

    Does this item still require additional support? Please provide a oscilloscope capture showing the SENSE pins, /MR, and RESET. This will help us to better understand the issue. Thanks!

    -Michael
  • Perhaps better if you address the poster - I've merely attempted to provide diagnostic guidance.
    Note too - that poster's 'Sense' pin WAS PROVIDED! (labeled on his scope-caps as VDD!)
    The advice to, 'Short R130' (continues) to provide (little) value - as poster's schematic reveals R130 as 0Ω...
