Hi Team,
In out water meter product, we are using MSP430FR6047. In some cases, the ADC capture on USS shows this:
(Sorry for the bad picture as it was taken in field)
You can clearly see some signal on UPS, but DNS is 2047. I got the PCB back from field and tested by applying small amplitude signals (200mv, 1MHz) on the CH0IN and CH1IN pins. Here is the output:
As can be seen, the DNS Channel is showing 2047 value - replicates the field issue.
Through some forums, I got to know that the USS Module Input channel is damaged in this case. What could be the possible reasons and how can they be avoided? As this issue has been seen in multiple times, it has become a critical issue. The Schematic for the USS analog part is designed as per EVM. Please help in this regard.
Regards,
Kamlesh
