Customer Impact: If voltage is applied to ADC_AD1 input, the ADC inputs and the touch interface may not work as the STMPE811 is not accessible on the I2C bus.
Description: The STMPE811 ADC and touch controller IC uses the IN0_GPIO1 pin for strapping between I2C and SPI mode. If the pin is high during the power-up of the controller, the chip gets misconfigured as an SPI device. In this case, the chip cannot be accessed over the I2C mode and is unavailable. The IN0_GPIO1 is used as ADC_AD1 input of the module (edge connector pin 6). A voltage applied to the analog input ADC_AD1 during the module's power-up can cause the ADC and touch controller to be strapped wrongly and therefore not accessible. The Colibri T30 features a circuit that pulls down the ADC_AD1 input during the reset state to prevent false strappings. However, this circuit may not work correctly if there is extensive backfeeding to the Colibri T30 module. The best prevention is not applying any voltage to the ADC_AD1 input while the module is not powered.
Workaround: Ensure that there is no voltage applied to the ADC_AD1 input until the module booted. Use any of the other ADC inputs instead.
Customer Impact: If the module gets powered up at extremely high temperatures (around 85°C environment temperature), there can be continuous power cycles until the temperature drops. The issue does not appear if the module was booted at a lower temperature.
Description: The module features an LM95245 temperature sensor that monitors the die temperature of the SoC and its local temperature, representing the PCB temperature. By default, the over-temperature limit for the local temperature sensor is set to 85°C. This temperature threshold is set to a higher value during the boot process, allowing the PCB temperature to reach higher levels at 85°C ambient temperature. However, if the ambient temperature is already 85° during the power-up of the module, the overtemperature output of the LM95245 might get triggered before the threshold was updated. In this case, the module power supply is shut down immediately. This also removes the power rails from the temperature sensor, which allows the PMIC to reenable the power rails. This cycle repeats until the local temperature falls below the default over-temperature threshold of 85°C.
Workaround: Make sure the module only gets powered up at 80°C and lower.
Customer Impact: The module RTC battery consumption is higher than usual and can deplete a coin cell battery fast.
Description: The current consumption on the RTC battery rail (VCC_BATT) can reach up to 240 µA on earlier modules if the primary voltage rail (3V3) is not applied. The issue affects the Colibri T30 1GB V1.1E and older, but does not affect the Colibri T30 1GB IT. Even though the current consumption is reduced to 56 µA on newer versions of the module, it is recommended to use an external ultra-low power RTC device if the system time needs to be retained without the presence of the primary voltage rail.
Workaround: Use an external ultra-low power RTC device (see the Colibri Evaluation Board for reference).
