SPC582B-DIS Hardware Problem (USB)

Hello, we bought 3x SPC 582B-DIS Eval Boards. I tested the first one with one of the examples provided in the SPC5 Studio successfully ~2 months ago. Last week I tried to put it into operation again but in Windows it's not recognized ("unknown usb device (port reset failed)").

I thought that this might have been due to ESD issues or mechanical stress during storage, so I tried the second Eval Board which was working perfectly at the beginning. This time I was more careful (Operation and storage only in air-conditioned ESD lab).

Nevertheless, the Board worked less and less over time while testing several examples (always lost USB connection during operation - needed to reconnect USB). Now the board is in the same state (not being recognized by Windows), no matter how often I plug it in and out.

Especially for the second board I took care that no mechanical or electrical stress (not even electrical measurements) were applied.

In the device manager, it's displayed as "unknown usb device (device descriptor request failed code 43)"

I tested

  • the USB voltage on the board, it's always at 5V, nothing unusual here
  • a different computer (different model) -> same behavior
  • Powered USB Hub/all USB Ports -> same behavior

Is this a known problem? I'm fearing that a PLS UDESTK Debugger will behave similar.

Thank you for any help!

I'm going to test my third (and last) board now...

Yes, the third board also stopped working after few hours.

Now I've got one question:

According to the board's schematics, the FTDI2232 is connected to 5V:

  1. By default the jumper JP3 connects 5V to VDD_HV_IO_MAIN:0693W000003OsSxQAK.png
  2. VDD_HV IO_MAIN is connected to J_VIN0693W000003OsTMQA0.png
  3. J_VIN is connected to LVDD (R101 actually IS mounted on the board)0693W000003OsTgQAK.png
  4. LVDD is connected to the FTDI Chip 0693W000003OsTvQAK.png

According to the Data sheet of the FT2232 , its absolute maximum rating is ~3.6V.

Especially for VPhy it's written " Note that this cannot be connected directly to the USB supply. A +3.3V regulator must be used. "

Mounting the jumpers JP3 back to its initial position rises the voltage from 3.3V to 5V at TP100 (LVDD). Unfortunately I have no board left now to test whether this is the cause of the problem...

Hello , I have forwarded this question to the PCB manager.

Best regards
