MSP430F6736A: SVS fails to trigger on AUXVCC2

Part Number: MSP430F6736A
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TIDM-AUX-MODULE

Customer using AUXVCC2 to monitor VCC and generate interrupt when either below 1.94V or above 2.14V. (2 different use case, at different stages of power on/off). During intensive tests, it was found that there is a 4 in 10,000 occurrence that SVM interrupt is not triggered.

 

Are there similar reports of such issues? (SVM interrupt not triggered)?

Attached is the software setting. Could you kindly help to check for any issues with the code?

    AUXCTL0 = AUXKEY;
    AUXCTL1 |= (AUX1MD );                           //Software switching method       
    AUXCTL1 &=  ~( AUX0MD + AUX2MD);                                    
    
    AUXCTL2 &= ~(AUX2LVL0 + AUX2LVL1 + AUX2LVL2);            
    AUXCTL2 |= (AUX2LVL0);                          // AUXVCC2 - 1.94V
    
    AUXCTL1 &= ~ (AUX1OK) ;                         //Turn off switching method
    AUXCTL2   &= ~(AUX1LVL0 + AUX1LVL1 + AUX1LVL2); 
    AUXCTL2 |= AUXMR_2 + AUX1LVL1;                  // 2.14V, MON at 150ms    
    AUXCTL2   &= ~(AUX0LVL0 + AUX0LVL1 + AUX0LVL2);  
   
    AUXIE |= (AUX2DRPIE  + AUXMONIE );              // Enable AUXVCC2 power-down interrupt, MON interrupt for power-on wakeup
    AUXCTL0 &= ~LOCKAUX;

  • Hello Eddie,

    Thanks for your post. I suspect this issue is getting caused by the AUXPMM2 errata. There are several workarounds provided in the erratasheet that the customer could try implementing and retesting. Besides this errata, there are several PMM-related errata.

    Another reference that I would recommend is the Battery Management and Auxiliary Power Supply Options for E-Meters (TIDM-AUX-MODULE) Design Guide.

    I hope this helps!

    Regards,

    James
