Question

I have bought a batch of STM32F750N8 MCU's and have found that the following pins do not work. PB14, PB15, and PA12/PA11.

I have tried turning these pins to GPIO's and tried toggling them, however, they seem to just be floating. I can confirm that these pins have been soldered on properly, since I have checked them using an X-RAY inspection system. I can also confirm that all the other pins around work too. Could these chips be faulty or is there any other reason as to why these pins would not work?

    It's most likely a hardware issue. Nothing particularly special about those pins, certainly nothing unique which would explain all of them not working. Could be a soldering issue or a board manufacturing issue. Can you test on multiple boards?

    If you set the pins as output and the bits in the GPIO->IDR register match up with the bits in the GPIO->ODR register for those pins when toggled, they are probably just not connected.

    How, exactly?

    These pins are OTG_FS/HS DP/DM. and are supplied from the VDDUSB pin.

    Any details about package, production date, or stepping?

    "VDDUSB USB supply voltage (supply voltage for PA11,PA12, PB14 and PB15 pins) "

    Yes, looks like my VDDUSB pin is grounded. Thank you!
