MSP430FR6877: Wrong input detection on P1.3

Ted Huh

Part Number: MSP430FR6877

Hi Team,

one of my customer using P1.3 as button input. as below.

Because button didn't work in the field, they tested the pin after remove SW2 and C2, and they get this result.

R7 Resistor Value	RETURN Pin Voltage(V) (P1.3/TA1.2/A3/C3)	Input Value by MSP
1K	2.57	High
5.1K	1.67	Low
10K	1.23
100K	0.22

GPIO output mode works fine. they were able to drive P1.3 normal.

In conclusion, it seems like internal resistance value of P1.3 became about 8k ohm.

How can this happen? could you guess any reason for this?

here is their register settings.

P1DIR &=~ BIT3; //Input

P1IES |= BIT3; // Hi->Lo Interrupt

P1IFG &=~ BIT3; // Interrupt flag

P1IE |= BIT3; // Interrupt Enable

Best Regards,

Ted

Hi Ted,

Thanks for your post. There is equivalent resistance on I/Os. I will confirm the equivalent resistance value with our design team later.

Hi Winter,

Problem is not that.

it worked well at first but it changed while it's working.

Did MSP Team ever had this kind of issue?

I'm asking why this kind of issue occur and how to prevent this problem.

of course the equivalent resistance vaule will not be 8k ohm..

it should be some Mega ohm.

Regards,

Ted

Hi Ted,

Do you mean using the fixed external pull-up resistor, the voltage of P1.3 will change while working and cause wrong pin input value? If issue is like that, it is more critical value. Thanks for your post. Could you please provide more details:

How many chips do you test? Is the issue only found in one chip?
What the development stage of your customer? Design or mass production?
More testing data with fixed pull-up resistor.
Remove the external pull-up and change to internal pull-up to test.

Very appreciate your effort on figure out this issue.

It's one chip. they built about 10000 units.

It's field issue. they started MP January this year.

I think I can get more testing data. However, it seems very clear. why do you need more testing with external resistor?

I will tell them to test with internal pull up.

Here is the result for the internal pull up test
: P1IN bit 3 - low
voltage of the port : 0.545V

Hi,

Please help to test more chips. Since I want to determine if it is a comm issue or just a ESD failure of one pin.

Hi Winter,

I will let you know if there is another IC with same problem.
