TPS659039-Q1: TPS659039-Q1 cold rest issue!

Part Number: TPS659039-Q1

Hi Team,

There is a good news that we DIN TPS659039-Q1 

But need your support to DWIN!

Now have a cold rest issue : 

Customer had been confirmed this PMIC failure mode in environment chamber.
1. Placed this board with failed PMIC in 0 degree C environment chamber for 0.5 hours, then turned on it, this PMIC couldn't be turned on.
2. But, if the board with failed PMIC was turned on first in normal temperature, then cooled down the temperature in environment chamber.
and keep it in 0 degree C for 4 hours, this PMIC still could work fine.

the result was proved outside the chamber, had same result.
This PMIC can't be turned on at low temperature(below 0 degree C).
if it was turned on at normal temperature and work fine,
even it was got in low temperature (below 0 degree C) for long period (4 hours), it still could work fine.

*I found a similar thing mentioned on page 53 of the datasheet ! So this is TPS65903x-Q1 defect ? 

If so, how could I solve this problem? Thank you*

  • Hi Kygo,

    I do not think this defect is related to the customer issue. Can you provide any scope shots of what happens to the device when they try to start the device up? Do any of the output rails ever enable or is the device always in a disabled state?

    Best regards,

  • Hi Jackson,

     

     Now have a cold rest issue , attached is the SCH : 

    (1)There is failed PMIC (PN as below) was returned from customer.

    The symptom as below

    1. It work fine at normal temperature (15~ 25 degree C)
    2. It can't be powered up at 0 degree C. it can't be recovered with H/W reset, too.
    3. If it was powered up at normal temperature, and then lower down temperature below 0 degree C, it can still work fine.
    4. Customer tried to re-solder this PMIC again to eliminate the cold-soldering problem if it had, but it still can't be recovered.

     

    TPS659039-Q1/O9039A385IZWSRQ1, 169 pin FBGA

     

     

    (2)Power up steps and Waveform as below

    5V0 and 3V3 are come from different buck regulators and they are directly connected to 12V car battery.

    12V ---> Buck 6.1V (Cameras power) ---> LDO 5V0

    12V ---> Buck 3.3V (PMIC and others)
