DRA829J-Q1: PORz_OUT driven high before MCU_PORz going high

Part Number: DRA829J-Q1

Tool/software:

Hello,

refering to DRA829J-Q1: PORz_OUT driven high before MCU_PORz going high - Processors forum - Processors - TI E2E support forums

Bill assumed that the pulse on PORz_OUT is occurring before the SOC_PORz_1V8's open-drain supply VDA_MCU_1V8 is enabled at 1.7ms, and that any modulations of prior to enabling of the open-drain reference voltage should be ignored since the SOC_PORz_1V8 signal is not fully activated.

I did a further measurement which shows that the high pulse occurs after VDA_MCU_1V8 is fully powered.

dark blue: PMIC A GPIO11, with pullup to VDA_MCU_1V8

light blue: same signal after a schmitt trigger gate, supplied with VDA_MCU_1V8

purple: PORz_out

green: VDA_MCU_1V8

So for me it´s still not clear where this PORz_out high pulse is coming from, as the only driver is the Jacinto itself.

I also suppose there is no impact on latching of bootmode settings as these are driven again by HW during the second low phase of PORz_out, and should be captured correctly with the second rising edge of PORz_out.

Do you see a necessity to search deeper for the root cause of the pulse which occurs after enabling of the open-drain reference voltage contrary to you assumption before?

Regards, Peter

 

  • No, I don't believe you need to investigate any further. I went back to 2019 & 2020 power up seqs and found a similar pulse on the SOC_PORz_OUT during the SoC power up seq on our J721E EVM. I did not find any root cause findings and there's no mention of this in the J721S Errata doc.

    I have not seen any negative impacts of pulses on "PORz_OUT" and latching of bootmode settings is not impacted as you've mentioned.
