Power configuration issues

Hello everyone,

I've just realized a PCB using STM32H7A3 micro. But at second step I already fell.

I've my system powered up at 3.3V from an external circuit. The quality seems to be good.

I've tried to program the micro using STlink through a SWD port. The result is "No device found on target ".

I'm sure the setup works as I used it for programming the devlopement board STM32H745I-DISCO. In that case I've had no problem.

I've checked the signals on the PCB as far as reachable:

  • Reset is pulled high
  • Boot0 is pulled low
  • VCC is stable at 3.3V and appears at all desired pins of the board
  • GND is connected to all the necessary pins
  • VDDA and VDDS are connected to 2,5V and GND
  • PDR_ON is connected 3.3V

I suppose could be a matter of power supply so I started checking my configuration.

Here's my condition. I use an external regulator and I want to use only the internal LDO:

What's strange to me is that I expect to read something around 1,2V across the capacitors

connected to VCAP while actually there's nothing on it. So I wonder the LDO regulator

isn't working.

Does anyone have a suggestion on how to proceed?

Kind regards.

Matteo

Found out the issue.

It's as been already explained by the good Adam BERLINGER in this topic.

The strange thing is that I've never programmed the chip before though.

In any case following his procedure I've been able to erase the chip and

connect properly.
