LPC54618J512 GPIO Pin Initial State Issue

Hello everyone,

I have a custom PCB mounted with an LPC54618J512 controller. I have initially configured the GPIO pin (PIO4_16) as a digital output with an initial state set to low. This pin is used to switch an N-channel MOSFET.

During the booting period, the GPIO pin should remain low, but I am observing a 250 ms high pulse before it goes to the low state. I need the GPIO state to remain low throughout the booting period. This issue is not specific to any particular GPIO pin; it occurs across all GPIO pins. I am unsure why I am getting this 250 ms high pulse.

For reference, I am attaching the GPIO configuration screenshot. The yellow pulse represents the GPIO (PIO4_16) signals.

Any suggestions to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Hi,

As you know that the GPIO pin is in input mode in default after Reset, so the pin is subject to noise.

Pls try to connect a pull-down resistor on the pin and check if the pulse appears or not after reset.

If the pulse still appears after you connect a pull-down resistor, it is a tough issue.

Hi@ xiangjun_rong

Thanks for the reply. We have already connected the pull-down resistor in the hardware. Are there any other issues we should check?

Hi,

Pls connect a 5K ohm pull-down resistor on the PIO4_16 pin. If you still see the high pulse during the start-up process, at this time, because the software has not begun to be executed, so software can not solve it. For hardware, the pull-down resistor is the only way I suppose.

As I said it is a tough issue.

@xiangjun_rong ,

Thanks for your prompt replay. As per your suggestion I connected the 5K ohm pull down resistor. The noise has been removed, and the issue is solved.

Thank you very much for your guidance.
