M1pre-rc4 vs. capacitative USB load
|
||||
===================================
|
||||
|
||||
This is a test of how the current-limiting USB power switch in
|
||||
M1pre-rc4 handles a "nasty" capacitative USB load. The worst load
|
||||
identified in previous tests with an M1rc3 with altered reset
|
||||
logic (but no current-limiter) [1] was an iCon i-Creativ.

||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
The M1 was set up in the nominal 5.0 V configuration described in
|
||||
README, which results in a supply voltage that's about 200 mV
|
||||
below what M1 should normally receive:
|
||||
|
||||
Source Input J21/J3
|
||||
------- --------------- ---------------
|
||||
5.00 4.81/4.86/4.90 4.47/4.62/4.72
|
||||
|
||||
The worst drop of the 5 V rail that could be observed in about a
|
||||
dozen hotplug tries was about 450 mV [2]. Note that the probe used
|
||||
in these measurements has a linear error that cause readings to be
|
||||
about 2-3% low (~100 mV in this case), i.e., the lowest voltage
|
||||
was still about 200 mV above the threshold of the reset chip.

|
||||
The tests above were done with a lab power supply that has very
|
||||
fast current limiting. A test with a 5 V switching power supply
|
||||
similar to the one shipped with M1 showed a reduced drop [3] of
|
||||
only about 350 mV.
