TDA4VH-Q1: Samsung LPDDR4 4GB validation issue with TDA4VH

Part Number: TDA4VH-Q1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TDA4VH, TDA4VM

Issue description:

Conducting validation(TDA4VH+LPDDR4 4GB) in Samsung Korea site under mutual customer's request, test case/criteria and test conditions are given from TI(Kevin Scholz) as follows:

Test case / pass criteria: Linux memtester [2 instances; 2 loops of 1.2 GB (~ 1 hour)]

  •  Example:  

 o    memtester 1200M 2 > /usr/memtester_results/memtester1.txt &

 o    memtester 1200M 2 > /usr/memtester_results/memtester2.txt &

 o    …. <~ 1 hour>

 o    cat /usr/memtester_results/memtester1.txt

 o    cat /usr/memtester_results/memtester2.txt 

  -         Pass = no failures reported to the UART terminal

 

Test conditions:

  •  Frequency: LP4-4266 +5%
  •  Temperature (internal on-die temp sensors): Cold (-40C), Hot (125C), Room, Temperature sweep
  •  Voltage: Min, max, nom (vdd_core, vdds_ddr*, vdda_0p8_pll_ddr) as documented in datasheet

We tested @cold and @room temperature and both passed. But @hot temperature, we set Ta as 75'C and we checked TDA4VH's temp sensor indicating 105~110'C.

And single bit fail happened, and at Ta=85'C, the temp sensor indicated 120~125'C and DRAM rebooted. (We assume this happened because of SOC's throttling)

We have modified some parameters that we could control, but all DOEs failed as follows:
