PF3000 LICELL power consumption

On debugging an i.MX7 based system with a PF3000 i realized the battery voltage of the LICELL in the system drops rapidly (>1 mV/s). The battery used is a 5.5mAh rechargable Li battery (Type MS621FE-FL11E).

I am wondering where this "immense" current draw is coming from. The LICELL is directly connected to an RTC (PCF85263A, ~300nA) and the PF3000.

The only always-on supply of the PF3000 should be VSNVS and VCOREDIG. Latter is not connected to anything other then the PMIC and an external capacitor. VSNVS is connected to the MX7's VDD_SNVS_IN and a 100k pullup for PWRON.

How may i reduce the systems energy consumtion?

Does the system automatically recover if i remove the pullup on PWRON?

If the pullup is not removed, will the PMIC try to power up constantly, while PWRON is pulled high to VSNVS?

Is there a way to disable the MX7's internal RTC?

Hi Lars

one can check pin connections which are powered by VSNVS

Table 99. i.MX 7Dual 12 x 12 mm functional contact assignments, "Power Group" column

>Is there a way to disable the MX7's internal RTC?

one can try to change bit SRTC_ENV (0b - SRTC is disabled or invalid.) in

SNVS_LP Control Register (LPCR) register

PWRON behaviour is described in sect.6.3.1.1PWRON PF3000 datasheet, seems if it left

unconnected (floating), when removing the pullup on PWRON, pmic may not start-up.

Power Management Integrated Circuit (PMIC) for i.MX 7 & i.MX 6SL/SX/UL
