Pulldown dont work, LPC1769 only

berndsirozynski — Thu, 04 Jul 2019 19:47:27 GMT

Hello,
i do some tests with the GPIO Pulldown and have found, that in the Device LPC1769 only, not in LPC1768
the Pulldowns do not work on two pins. These Portpins are also used for I2C.1 but not used now.

Pulldowns on I2C.1 pins do not work, but LPC1769FBD100 only
PIN Number:58 Port:P0.20 also shared also with I2C SCL1
PIN Number:59 Port:P0.19 also shared also with I2C SDA1

Testobject:
LPCXpresso LPC1769 REV C (2010) LPC1769FBD100
Pin P0.19 SDA1
Pin P0.20 SCL1

I have set the Pins to normal GPIO Input Mode and enabled the Pulldowns.
But the pins are always high. The Voltmeter shows 2,92 Volt with measured 3,13 Volt CPU Voltage.
Normaly a High measured on input configured pin are ca. 2,3 Volt because of internal "current sources"
These 2 Pins i can measure 2,92V
Normaly if i enable the internal pulldown, the voltage falls down to zero.
but only these two pins in LPC1769 works different. Enabling the Pulldown do nothing.

the same test with the I2C.2 peripheral and other port pins
the pulldowns works correct.

The same Software on LPC1768 and LPC1769 have differnt Portlevels at these 2 pins.

Maybe it is only a problem in the LPC1769 ? with Revision ???
My Testboard is an LPC1769 REV C (2010)
My CPU on the LPCXpresso Board is labled:
LPC1769FBD100
S2N525.1
ZSD1406A

My Testcode:

// first i test the GPIO P4.29 as input with pulldown enabled

Hello Bernd Sirozynski,

Please check whether the two pins connected to other parts on your board, for example I2C-EEPROM.

Or you can send the schematic to me, I help you to review. For this is a old version(2010), I only have the new one(2016).

Have a great day,
TIC

Hello Alice_Yang,
first thank you for your answer.

the problem is not the I2C Bus but only these pins in GPIO mode:

Today i have test this on a new LPCXpresso1769 Board Revision D 2015 OM13085
The controller is labled:
LPC1769FBD100
SAS558.1 01
ZSD1524A

the same problem: the internal pulldowns in GPIO mode dont work on P0.19 and P0.20

My tests:
After power on the Board, all inputs are configured as input as default and the cpu clocks with the internal RC at 4MHz

The first main code has only a loop:
int main(void)
{
while (1) ; // loop forever
}

to simplyfy the test i uses 3 Pins of the Board, because they are direkt side by side on the LPCXpresso board:
these pins are:
P0.20 // at this pin there is a problem
P0.19 // at this pin there is a problem
P4.29 // no problem, only to compare the behavier

if you measure the voltage level you see, that
P0.19 = near VCC 3,3V
P0.20 = near VCC 3,3V
P4.29 = ca. 2,3V (internal pullup is a current source)

now i enable the pulldowns of the P4.29 and for P0.19 and P0.20:

and see the following voltages:
P0.19 = 3,0V // that is not correct
P0.20 = 3,0V // that is not correct
P4.29 = 0,1 Volt // okay

next test, i have connected external pulldowns and found that you need a lot of current to pulldown these two pins.

to minimize an error of any header file or so, i give you the complete code here
you can copy and paste it in your main loop. you dont need any other files

#define PINMODE1 *(volatile unsigned int*) 0x4002C044 // Pinmode for the P0.19 and P0.20
#define PINMODE9 *(volatile unsigned int*) 0x4002C064 // Pinmode for the P4.29 pin BIT 26 and 27

int main(void)
{
PINMODE9 = (3 << 26);     // enable pull down for P4.29
PINMODE1 =   (3 << 6)   // enable pull down for P0.19
             | (3 << 8); // enable pull down for P0.20
while (1) ;             // loop forever
}

Bernd

next i set the portmode to "Pin has neither pull-up nor pull-down resistor enabled" value 0x02

the pins goes high and have problems to pull it low with external resistor.

with external 10 K pulldown the level is 2,465V
with external 1K pulldown the level is 0,760V

Info: All measures are done with a high impedance >10 GOhm Multimeter DM3068 Rigol

Hello Bernd Sirozynski,

I know you config the pins to GPIO function, while on the demo board, the two pins have already connected

to other chip. please cut the P0.19 and P0.20 to have a try:

Have a great day,

Hello Alice_Yang,
you're absolutely right, I didn't see that.

Thank you very much for your information,
I spent hours looking for the problem,

I've been working with these parts for years and I didn't even notice.

I am getting old (I am old) :-)

Bernd
