The TMS320F28P65xD/S MCU device family requires an
external device to supply the necessary voltage and current for proper operation.
Separate voltage rails are available for core (1.2V), Analog (3.3V), Flash (3.3V)
and I/O logic (3.3V). The following mechanisms can be used to improve the diagnostic
coverage of the C2000 MCU power supply.
- Having independent voltage
supervision at system level is an assumption used while performing safety
analysis.
- Devices can be implemented with
multiple power rails that are intended to be ganged together on the system PCB.
For proper operation of power diagnostics, it is recommended to implement one
voltage supervisor per ganged rail.
- Common mode failure analysis of
the external voltage supervisor along with TMS320F28P65xD/S MCU is useful to
determine dependencies in the voltage generation and supervision circuitry.
- Customer can consider using TI's TPS6538x power supply and
safety companion device for voltage supervision at the system level.
