Stm32h743 gets hot on custom PCB

I designed a PCB using the STM32H743 in the TFBGA240 +25 package.
When I power the board, the STM32 gets hot. I measured the voltage across the VCAP capacitors, and it is 2.2 V, while it should be a maximum of 1.35 V.
What could be causing the VCAP voltage to rise to 2.2 V?

Only a bad schematic design or a manufacturing error will cause this.

Show a large in-focus picture of your chip and your schematic if you can.

Welcome to the forum.

Please see How to write your question to maximize your chances to find a solution for best results.

In particular, as it's a custom PCB, you will need to post your schematic & layout.

Some good, clear photos would also help.

 

Have you checked your design against Application note AN4938, "Getting started with STM32H74xI/G and STM32H75xI/G MCU hardware development"

Also check https://www.st.com/en/microcontrollers-microprocessors/stm32h743-753/documentation.html

How hot, exactly?

What current is it drawing.

Have you loaded any code at this point?

 

PS:

Is this the first time this design has been use, or has it worked OK previously?

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.
A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.
