TPS65217 software controlled shutdown

according to the data sheet it looks to be possible to do a full shut down (off) (without controlling the PWR_EN) by sending a SEQDWN command to the password protected SEQ6 register.

In my case it is not happening even though I know I am writing to the register correctly. I tried to set the OFF bit in the STATUS register also. Nothing works. What is the proper commands to trigger a full shut down without controlling the PWR_EN pin?

  • never mind got it working...bit mask wrong.

  • Hello David,
    Sorry to ask you about an old post, but it looks like you were successful in shutting down the PMIC+Sitara by using the SEQDWN bit.
    I am about to use the same technique and I would like to know if there is anything I should be concerned about or it works as easy as it seems.
    My goal is to be able to quickly shut the board down and have the proper power-down sequence in the Sitara.
    Doing it through the PMIC_POWER_EN pin seems to require the use of the RTC and some delays are impossible to avoid.
    Thanks,
    Max
