The TO_SAFE_SEVERE and TO_SAFE are distinct sequences that occur before transitioning to the SAFE state. Both sequences shut down all rails without delay and force EN_DRV low. The TO_SAFE_SEVERE sequence immediately ceases BUCK switching and enables the pulldown resistors of the BUCKs and LDOs. The pulldown is enabled to prevent any damage of the PMICs in case of over voltage on VCCA or thermal shutdown. The timing is illustrated in #GUID-3104D04F-00BD-42FA-BBBC-82286F5B3F06. The TO_SAFE sequence does not reset the BUCK regulators until after the regulators are turned off.
After the power sequence shown in #GUID-3104D04F-00BD-42FA-BBBC-82286F5B3F06, the TO_SAFE sequence executes the following instructions:
//TPS65941120 and TPS65941421
// Clear AMUXOUT_EN, CLKMON_EN, set LPM_EN
REG_WRITE_MASK_IMM ADDR=0x81 DATA=0x04 MASK=0xE3
// Reset all BUCK regulators
REG_WRITE_MASK_IMM ADDR=0x87 DATA=0x1F MASK=0xE0
//PL876411B5
//Reset all BUCK regulators
REG_WRITE_MASK_IMM ADDR=0x87 DATA=0x0F MASK=0xF0
The resetting of the BUCK regulators is done in preparation to transitioning to the SAFE_RECOVERY state. SAFE_RECOVERY means that the PMIC leaves the mission state. The SAFE_RECOVERY state is where the recovery mechanism increments the recovery counter and determines if the recovery count threshold (see Table 5-10) is reached before attempting to recover.
The TO_SAFE_SEVERE sequence executes the following instruction after the power sequence:
// TPS65941120 and TPS65941421
// Clear AMUXOUT_EN, CLKMON_EN, set LPM_EN
REG_WRITE_MASK_IMM ADDR=0x81 DATA=0x04 MASK=0xE3
The
TPS65941120 has an additional delay of 500 ms at the end of the
TO_SAFE_SEVERE sequence. It is important to note that the recovery
is not attempted until after the sequence delay is complete.
