MSP430FR6879: FRAM Uncorrectable FRAM bit error detection SYSSNIV Interrupt

Part Number: MSP430FR6879
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430FR6979, MSP430F449

Hello,

On some devices with MSP430FR6879 I get interrupt SYSSNIV Uncorrectable FRAM bit error.

But CRC above memory is fine.

So far discovered about 10 pieces from batch 1000 pcs.

The device uses LPM3 and 1 MHz MCLK

PMM29 is implemented.

//-------------------------------------------------------------------------
// FRAM
//-------------------------------------------------------------------------
  FRCTL0 = FRCTLPW; // unlock FRAM control
    // enable NMI correctable & uncorrectable bit error
    // ERRATA PMM29 -> clear the FRLPMPWR
  GCCTL0 = UBDIE + CBDIE + FRPWR + 0;
  FRCTL0_H = 0; // lock FRAM control

 

In the past, MSP430FR6979 was used and the error never occurred.

Except this fault, everything else is fully functional.

Any idea ....

  • Hi ,

    1. Does this 10 pcs can recreate this issue with 100% percent?

    2. What is your power supply voltage? Is it in spec?

    3. Does this 10 pcs operate as good as other device?

    4. You mean before you apply PMM29, you haven't meet this problem?

    My advice is that:

    1. Can you put the issue MSP430 to replace a good MSP430 to check if this problem lies on PCB or device itself?

    2. You can check CG1, CG4, especially CG5 in FR6979 Errata. Maybe it can give you the answer and the work-around solution.

  • Thanks a lot for the tip.
    I completely overlooked the GC5.
    It can be. I'll try it.
    It seems better to go back to MSP430F449 for a new design.
    The new FRAM microcontrollers have many problems with LPM3.

  • Hope good news from you!
