TPS6594-Q1: Power up fail at low temp

Part Number: TPS6594-Q1

Dear expert,

Customer use TPS65941213 + LP876411B4RQKRQ1. 

There is one pcs system cannot power up at -20C. Need your guidance here:

Below is TPS6594 VCCA_3V3 and Buck3 output. After several retry fail, they shut down VCCA_3V3. 

Below is TPS6594 and Buck3 output zoom in.

Below is TPS6594 VCCA_3V3 and LDO

Below is TPS6594 VCCA_3V3 and LDO zoom in:

Below is LP8764 Vout and GPIO 10 output

Below is TPS6594 register dump:

  • Hello Ryan,

    The register dump reads out an interrupt for BUCK3_UV and LDO1_SC on the TPS65941213. 

    In your design is FB_B3 connected to VCCA?

    Can you provide zoomed in scope shot to see if VCCA drops at during the recovery attempts?

    How low does LDO1 drop to between each recovery attempt?

  • Michael,

    Sorry for late response. Customer did some test.

    Yes, FB_B3 connect to VCCA.

    There is some small drop for VCCA.

    Below is zoom in. You can see min voltage is 3.06V which doesn't reach VCCA_UV_THR(-10%)2.97V.

    And we measured a good board for comparison.

    Below is zoom in. Min is 3.0V

    And customer optimized VCCA voltage drop from 3.06V to 3.17V for bad board. But there is still the same phenomenon.

    Is there any suggestion?

    For LDO1_SC interrupt, I think it is might due to LDO Residual Voltage Checking for several times reboot in the experiments. Do you think so?

    Thanks

  • How confident are you in the accuracy of the o-scope? The VCCA_UV_THR is -9% to -11%, with -10% being the typical value for the setting. That means I expect the interupt to trigger between 2.937 to 3.003V. The deglitch is enabled, so it has to be below threshold for 20us.

    Can you use a bench top 3.3V power supply instead of the your on-board 3.3V regulator? Then control the voltage level to see when VCCA_UV triggers. 

  • Hi Michael,

    Long time no talk, hope you are doing well! Rayn is OOO and I will help to follow this issue. 

    I think it should be a device issue and I suggest letting customer ABA test for the next step. My analysis is below. Please correct me if you have more ideas.

    1. Customer use an external power 3.3V supply instead of the on-board pre-regulator. Issue is reproduced too. 

         According to the scope shot,  the 3.3V has some drop and the min voltage is 3.13V. It is higher than the UV threshold. 

    2. According to the PDN, BUCK3 monitor is enabled at 3.7ms after the GPIO9/10 rise. But the scope shot shows the power off happens about 8ms after that. I think UV detection does not need 8ms delay. There should some error internal the chip.

  • 2. According to the PDN, BUCK3 monitor is enabled at 3.7ms after the GPIO9/10 rise. But the scope shot shows the power off happens about 8ms after that. I think UV detection does not need 8ms delay. There should some error internal the chip.  

    That green channel in the scope shot shot does not show what is measured/monitored by FB_B3. Considering that it is 200mV/div and the speed that it ramps up and down, I think that is LDO3. LDO3 turns on at the 2.7ms mark of the TO_ACTIVE sequence and shuts down at the 2.5ms mark of the orderly shutdown sequence. Therefore, this scope capture doesn't show when PMIC saw the UV event.

         According to the scope shot,  the 3.3V has some drop and the min voltage is 3.13V. It is higher than the UV threshold

    Please follow these experiment steps:

    1. Supply board with 3.36V to allow PMICs to power up.
    2. Clear interrupts on PMIC associated with start up.
    3. Place scope probe on nINT and nRSTOUT of TPS65941213. They should both be HIGH at this point.
    4. Slowly step down the VCCA supply in 5mV - 10mV steps until nINT and nRSTOUT both go low. 
    5. Measure DC voltage of VCCA at this point.

  • Hi Michael,

    Customer ABA the device and the failure follows the device. The failed device is returned to TI.
