The following section describes the hardware
modifications that were made to each E1 Control Card.
- TUSB320 CC Controller GPIO Mode
- The TUSB320 is intended
to be used in the GPIO mode to negotiate whether the type-C CC pins
represent a power source that is an excellent choice for the Control
Card. For the TUSB320 to be GPIO mode, the ADDR pin needs to floating
and therefore R170 was removed.
- Modification 1:
- Bypass PMIC VSYS_3V3C Power
- The PMIC LDO output
VSOUT2 is used to power the VSYS_3V3C power net. VSYS_3V3C is used to
power loads for various peripheral circuits, many of which are required
for AM263x reset and boot.
- The PMIC LDO output
VSOUT2 is disabled by default and requires a SPI register write from the
AM263x to enable after initial start-up.
- As a workaround, the VSYS_3V3C rail is shorted with the VSYS_3V3A PMIC
output.
- Modification 2:
- Lift pin U30.29 from PMIC to disconnect LDO output of PMIC
- Short TP359 and TP362 using 22GA wire
- TPS37042A30 Startup RESET Output Transients
- The TPS37042A3O power supervisor (U187) open-drain outputs RESET1# and
RESET2# cause transient PORZ assertions during initial 3.3V (VSYS_3V3A)
and 1.2V (VSYS_1V2) power-on.
- These open-drain outputs are pulled to USB-C/HSEC supplied VMAIN 5.0V
supply. That VMAIN supply showed noisy behavior during start-up and
caused these open-drain I/O to provide a faulty PORZ. Changing U187
RESET1# and RESET2# output pull-up resistors to reference PMIC supplied
VDD_5V0 creates a functional PORZ.
- Modification 3:
- Remove R1640
- Install 10 kΩ
pull-up resistor on the RESET# output pad of the R1640 resistor
position
- Attach the other
10 kΩ resistor pad to the VDD_5V0 power net
