The C2000 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). Following
mechanisms can be used to improve the diagnostic coverage of C2000
MCU power supply.
Note: - 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. TI recommends implementing one voltage
supervisor per ganged rail for proper operation of
power diagnostics.
- Common mode failure analysis of the external
voltage supervisor along with the TMS320F280013x MCU
is useful to determine dependencies in the voltage
generation and supervision circuitry.
- Customers can consider using TI's TPS6538x power supply and safety companion
device for voltage supervision at the system
level.
