Cold Temperature Issue

Hallo, We used the Agilex5 device in AS configuration connect to external QSPI Flash. We apply Smart VID interface at the device demands.  When we perform Cold power up at -40C the device is not c...

    Hi Asaf, 

     

    Good to hear that you solved the issue. Yes, all the configuration signals are sensitive can't let the voltage drop even few microseconds.

Hello, 

 

Can you share below information:

1- QSPI flash part number

2- VR(Voltage regulator) part number

3- Agilex5 part number

 

regards,

Farabi

    Hello Farabi,

    1 - QSPI Flash -  MT25QU256ABA8E12-1SIT by Micron

    2 - VR - LT7184SRV#TRPBF by Analog Device

    3 - Agilex5 - A5EC043AB23AI2E

    Thanks

      Hello Asaf, 

       

      If the device is not output from POR, do you have the oscilloscope capture the power rails ramping up? 

      Any abnormal voltage ramp up during power up? Especially all the power rails monitored by POR circuitry. 

       

      regards,

      Farabi

        Hello Farabi,

        Thanks for your reply,

        We checked Cold start up on other PCB and it pass successfully, so maybe it is assembly issue of specific PCB, we send it for examination and preheat of the FPGA and we will check it again.

        See attached oscilloscope capture:

        1. Green - PMBus (3.3V), Red -VID voltage, Blue - 1.8V, Yellow - nConfig - it good power up, you can see transition on the PMBus.
        2.  Red - VID, Yellow - nConfig, Green - SDM clock, Blue - Nstatus.

         

        I don't see the SDM start the configuration prosses

        Regards

        Asaf
