MSPLife 2 Posted August 3, 2016 Author Share Posted August 3, 2016 This is my layout. C1 is 1nF, R1 is 47K sw1 is reset button. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chicken 630 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Did you measure VCC on the problematic boards? Did you try powering from a 5V power supply? 220uF is to much capacitance on VBUS and total overkill for this kind of application. I think the USB spec only allows for 10uF or so. Inrush current may lead to the USB power supply to be shut off and on and off etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MSPLife 2 Posted August 3, 2016 Author Share Posted August 3, 2016 I wonder how much current you're sinking on P2.2 Current would be 3.3V/47K. I design based on the G2 Launchpad Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Inrush current may lead to the USB power supply to be shut off and on and off etc. I also try to connect to VCC/GND pins on G2 Launchpad (without LDO and 220uF). Voltage still dropped. Both of voltage on P2.2 button and VCC pin (my PCB) is fine, around 3.3 Volt. Only RST pin has problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I just think it will make more stable. Which kind of 10uF (footprint 0805, 1206, ...) I should use in this situation ? Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chicken 630 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 A large capacitor needs to be charged on initial power-up. This will cause a current spike for a few milliseconds on startup. USB outputs on PCs are protected from overcurrent to avoid damaging the PC in case of a short. This means that the PC may shut off USB power if it sees to much current.

terjeio 134 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Take a look at the output cap(s) on the regulator as well, I assume the regulator is TLV70033 not TLV33. TI recommend a 1uF low ESR ceramic cap (> 0.1uF should be ok according to the datasheet), IMO close to the terminals, for stability. Why the 220uF? - it may cause problems for the regulator...

May be that is my problem, could you suggest a specific part of 1uF, should I use a electrolytic capacitor or 0805, 1206, ... surface mount? Anyone who has experience with this problem, please help Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
terjeio 134 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I would start by replacing the 220uF electrolytic with an additional 0.1uF decoupling cap since you already have three in your circuit. See 8.2.2.1 Input and Output Capacitor Requirements and 10.1 Layout Guidelines in the datasheet: http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/tlv700.pdf Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MSPLife 2 Posted August 5, 2016 Author Share Posted August 5, 2016 Dear everyone, I solved my problem, it came from the way I solder the MCU. Thank for all support! By this thread, I was learned many thing. Much appreciated! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
