Card Inventory vs Power Supply Vcc not too much less than Vdd ------------------------------------------------------------------- Original Rev. 19-JUN-1998 Most Recent Rev. 25-JUN-1998 When used with a power supply that keeps Vcc at least as positive as a Schottky drop under Vdd. Cards that make no heat on the 74 FCT 164245 T and on which you can see the JTag 8990 registers. SM 52 this card has never been used with a power supply that does not control Vcc wrt Vdd. No heat and can read/write to the 8990 AONM 01 No Heat and can see the 8990 AONM 30 No Heat and can see the 8990 SM 50 No Heat and can see the 8990 TRM 02 No Heat but writing $ffff to a reg reads back $f7ff Card that have a 74 FCT 164245 T that get hot even when used with a power supply that controls Vcc wrt Vdd.

No matter what you try to write to a register in the 8990 it reads back as $FFFF. Is the write broken, or the read back broken or both ? What keeps the HOT latched up 74FCT164245T from sitting on the On Card Bus ? \|/|\|/|\|/|\|/|\|/|\|/|\|/|\|/|\|/|\|/|\|/|\|/|\|/|\|/|\|/|\|/|\|/| Cards that have their 74 FCT 164245 T Pulled Off: Rev. 20-JUN-1998 AONM SM TRM FM ------ ------ ------ ------ 3 45 1 4 46 2 5 47 3 8 48 4 9 49 5 10 51 6 11 7 8 14 \|/|\|/|\|/|\|/|\|/|\|/|\|/|\|/|\|/|\|/|\|/|\|/|\|/|\|/|\|/|\|/|\|/| 25-JUN-1998 Information about the voltage drop across the Schottky Diodes that clamp Vcc to Vdd is now in the file: [.hardware.general] CHARACTERIZATION_OF_RUN_II_COMPONENTS.TXT
