SPRUJ40C may 2022 – may 2023
Applicable EVM Revisions: E1, E2, E3
Issue Description:The buffers used for the Test Automation Interface have a special condition of not having pullups on the B side of the buffer which could not be met on the EVM due to the bus design. As such, in the current configuration, they prevent communiation from the Test Automation connector into the I2C1 bus.
Fix:Remove the TCA9801DGK buffers and bridge across pin 2 to pin 7 and pin 3 to pin 6 respectively, you will also need to remove any pull-up resistors on the SCLB side of the device since these are no longer needed. (U42 and R499, R498 on E3, please refer to inidividual scheamtics and board file for other revisions). The IC may be replaced with a TCA9517DR which does not have the same incomaptibiltiy. SK-AM62-P1 E2 and newer boards feature this change. If the IC is replaced, pullups on the B side should be preserved.
