The C2000 MCU device family requires an external device to supply the necessary voltage and current for proper operation. Separate voltage rails are available for core (1.2 V), Analog (3.3 V), Flash (3.3 V) and I/O logic (3.3 V). Following mechanisms can be used to improve the diagnostic coverage of C2000 MCU power supply.
Note: - Having independent voltage supervision at system level is an assumption used while performing safety analysis.
- Devices can be implemented with multiple power rails that are intended to be ganged together on the system PCB. For proper operation of power diagnostics, it is recommended to implement one voltage supervisor per ganged rail.
- Common mode failure analysis of the external voltage supervisor along with TMS320F280015x MCU is useful to determine dependencies in the voltage generation and supervision circuitry.
- Customer can consider using TI's TPS6538x power supply and safety companion device for voltage supervision at system level.
