  1. The Great I2C MysteryAct 2

  2. The facts • Occasionally, when accessing sequentially components on the I2C bus (LLD, DCU etc.), the APVs are found not to respond correctly to I2C commands, actually they are stuck • This can data pattern dependent (as the last bit of the data sequence is the one most often misinterpreted) • The lock-up can only be cleared by Resetting the APV

  3. The theoretical waveforms Ack Cycle D0 D1 SCL Driven always by master SCL SDA ↓ must occur after SCL ↓ SDA SDA Driven by master Driven by slave Example for an I2C write cycle

  4. The actual waveforms Ack Cycle D0 D1 SCL SCL ↓ before SDA↓ by a few ns SDA Driven by master Driven by slave

  5. … on scope SDA SCL on FE-Hybrid

  6. What we believe the APV believes Ack Cycle D0 D1 SCL (large RC) ARRRGGGHHHH!!!!! SDA (small RC) Driven by master Driven by slave

  7. Present Electrical circuit FE-Hybrid 82W Parasitic on FE Hybrid CH SCL SDA AOH CH > CA Parasitic on AOH CA 82W

  8. Why were resistors added? CCU APV FE Hybrid FE Hybrid CCUM PSU CNTRL PSU FE

  9. Why are resistors added ? (2) To FE PSU, but Floating at Power-Up To CNTRL PSU Any logic line between control and FE CCU

  10. “Simple” Circuit equalization FE-Hybrid 82W SCL SDA AOH > 3 KW

  11. Possible solutions • Remove all protection resistors as to avoid different RC constants on ROD traces and introduce strict powering sequences • Use Wacek’s ~2 nF bypass capacitor on resistors as to speed-up slow RCs edges • Tune Rs on different I2C traces as to guarantee correct SCL arrival time • Remove all resistors and introduce active protection to avoid short circuiting the CCUs to the FE during power-up • Remove resistors (same as 1.) and use only one power supply for CCUMs and FE hybrids • Short circuit I2C (SCL and SDA) lines after protection resistors, thus “equalizing” delay paths to AOH and APVs

  12. Solution 1 FE-Hybrid Parasitic on FE Hybrid CH SCL SDA AOH Parasitic on AOH CA PSU Control PSU FE Simult.

  13. Solution 2 FE-Hybrid 82W Parasitic on FE Hybrid CH SCL SDA AOH Parasitic on AOH CA 82W PSU Control PSU FE before

  14. Solution 3 FE-Hybrid R1 Parasitic on FE Hybrid CH SCL SDA AOH R2 > R1 Parasitic on AOH CA R2

  15. Solution 4 FE-Hybrid Parasitic on FE Hybrid CH SCL SDA AOH Parasitic on AOH CA PSU Control PSU FE before

  16. Solution 5 FE-Hybrid Parasitic on FE Hybrid CH SCL SDA AOH Parasitic on AOH CA PSU Control PSU FE

  17. Solution 6 FE-Hybrid 82W Parasitic on FE Hybrid CH SCL SDA AOH Parasitic on AOH CA 82W PSU Control PSU FE before
