pic24fj128ga310 + CCS 5.051 = DEEP SLEEP mode not working!
PostPosted: Fri Aug 26, 2016 8:35 am     Reply with quote

Hello,

I know this is a very frequent question but I tried to solve it by searching on the forum and I failed...

This is my source code:

main.h
Code:

#include <24FJ128GA310.h>
#device ICSP=1
#use delay(internal=8000000)

#FUSES NOWDT                    //No Watch Dog Timer
#FUSES LVR                      //Low Voltage Regulator Enabled, Controlled in Software
#FUSES PROTECT                  //Code protected from reads
#FUSES NOJTAG                   //JTAG disabled
//#FUSES NOCKSNOFSM               //Clock Switching is disabled, fail Safe clock monitor is disabled
#FUSES WPCFG                    //Configuration Words page is erase/write-protected
#FUSES NODSWDT                  //Deep Sleep Watchdog Timer disabled

main.c
Code:

#include <main.h>

void main()
{
   //Example blinking LED program
   while(true)
   {
   
   setup_adc_ports(NO_ANALOGS);
   setup_vref(VREF_DISABLED);
   
      output_a(0);
      output_b(0);
      output_c(0);
      output_d(0);
      output_e(0);
      output_f(0);
      output_g(0);
     
      //output_high(PIN_D4 | PIN_D5);
      output_high(PIN_D4);
      output_high(PIN_D5);
     
      output_high(PIN_F6);
      output_high(PIN_G2);
     
      output_low(PIN_D11);
       output_low(PIN_E4);
     
      output_low(PIN_D0);
      output_low(PIN_D1);
      output_low(PIN_D2);
      output_low(PIN_D3);
           
      disable_interrupts(INTR_GLOBAL);
     
      sleep(SLEEP_FULL);
   }

}

I'm running this source code is a very simple board with the mcu a couple of leds and a buzzer.

It is strange but I cannot decrease the consumption under 9mA.

One suggestion. Try setting Port C.14 as an input.

Not sure what the default SOSC configuration is, and you are not explicitly setting this in the fuses. Wondering about Note 2 on table 29-3.

Hello,

See schematic on: http://tinyurl.com/deepsleep-pic24

This is the complete schematic of the pcb in which we want to decrease the consumption.

just a couple of comments from a 'dinosaur'..

1) the schematic would be a lot easier to read if all +5V terminations were 'pointing up' and all grounds were pointing 'down'. yeah I'm old but was taught that way. Same holds true for the 32KHz xtal layout

2) the Vbat PIC pin goes to 3volts, seems to be fed from the regulator. if so why bother with deep sleep as it appears the PIC is 'line' powered.

3) looks like that PIC has onboard USB, so be sure you can configure those D+, D- pins for alternate use. Some PICs can't.

Look at figure 2-2 in the data sheet.

Read this paragraph:

"During programming and debugging, the resistance
and capacitance that can be added to the pin must
be considered. Device programmers and debuggers
drive the MCLR pin. Consequently, specific voltage
levels (VIH and VIL) and fast signal transitions must
not be adversely affected. Therefore, specific values
of R1 and C1 will need to be adjusted based on the
application and PCB requirements. For example, it is
recommended that the capacitor, C1, be isolated
from the MCLR pin during programming and
debugging operations by using a jumper (Figure 2-2).
The jumper is replaced for normal run-time
operations."

Leaving the 0.1uF on MCLR when trying to use the ICD, is a recipe for it to not be reliable.....

Are you sure your capacitor on the Vcap pins meets the ESR requirements?.
Is it as close as required to the pin?. Section 2.4 in the data sheet.

Where are you measuring the current ? At the board's input power
terminals ? If so, you have a LD1117S33TR regulator as U1. This
regulator has a quiescent current of 5 to 10 ma. That's probably
your whole problem. See Table 6. Electrical characteristics of LD1117#33
on page 12 of the data sheet:
http://www.st.com/resource/en/datasheet/ld1117.pdf
Code:
Id  Quiescent current   Vin ≤ 15V   5 to 10 mA

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback. It is appreciated. The reason why I am not using arrows pointing up is because in Altium it is faster to use standard symbols. However, I'll take your suggestion into account:)

The device is batt powered, so vbat has no effect here.

Regarding the USB, this MCU does not have this peripheral.

Thank you for your appreciated help

Yes, all components are placed according datasheet and the capacitor is like suggested (ESR is OK).

The reason why I did not place the jumper in the MCLR line is because I never faced any problem during programming, so I decided not to put it...

However I'll take your words into account for future modifications.

Thanks!

That was my first conclusion but then I removed the regulator, powered the board directly at 3.0 volts and the consumption still remains above the 3mA

I know it is complicated decrease the consumption and make it lower tha 1mA, but I've tried removing all components on the PCB and it is already higher than 3mA...

Strange thing...

Any idea?

The MCLR rise time requirements for ICD, are many times lower than those for programming. When doing normal programming it can take mSec to reach the Vpp. Using the ICD is has to get to the same level in a few uSec.
This is why the ICD 'sheet' from Microchip (this is the one for ICD3, but the same applies to all the ICD units):
<http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/DS-51765C.pdf>
has as it's second warning down in the 'additional precautions' box 'do not use capacitors on MCLR'.

Your power is 'odd'. I was thinking of things possibly oscillating (the regulator can do this).

Are you sure you are turning off the LCD peripheral fully?.

That's a 1K load, or maybe three 3.3K loads. What do you have plugged
into the various connectors, RFCONN, Keypad, and IOS ?

In my explorations for achieving the lowest power possible sleep modes I've found the following doc from Microchip helpful:

There is nothing. Those IOs right now are connected to different connectors to expand system capabilities.

What instrument are you using to measure the current ? Have you
checked the instrument with, say 3v running through a 1 MegOhm resistor ?
