MC13892, Silicon Errata
Introduction
Device Revision Identification
This errat a sheet applies to the following devices:
Device Build Information / Date Code
Device markings indicate build information containing the week and year of manufacture. The date is coded with the last four
characters of the nine character build information code (e.g. “CTKAH0429”). The date is coded as four numeric al digits where
the first two digits indicate the year and the last two digits indicate the week. For instance, the date code “0429” indicates the 29th
week of the year 2004.
Device Part Number Prefixes
Some device samples are marked with a PC prefix. A PC prefix indicates a prototype device which has undergone basic testing
only. After full characterization and qualification, devices will be marked with the MC prefix.

Erratum
ID Erratum System Impact Description
8374 RTC: Loss on
the crystal
oscillator upon
power up
The switch of the 32 kHz clock system from crystal
to internal clock causes missing pulses in the
32 kHz clock, which lowers the freque ncy of th e
switcher PLL. The buck regulator then drops in
output voltage.
Workaround: Place a 10 MOhm resistor in
parallel with the crystal.
Fix/Plan Status:
Fixed in silicon in revision 3.1
8568 Power: If
UVBUS is
present before
the battery, then
an overshoot on
the output of the
switching
regulators
occurs
If UVBUS is present before the battery, the switcher
acts as soon as the battery is present, instead of
waiting until the power up sequence is
initialized.This overshoot can tie the switcher output
to BP for a short period.
Workaround: Place a 100 kOhm pull-down
resistor on VCORE.
Note: This workaround is only needed if the
UVBUS supply is present before the
battery. It is not needed if UVBUS is not
used.
Fix/Plan Status:
Fixed in silicon in revision 3.1
8612 Charger:
Reverse supply
mode shuts off
The reverse supply mode shuts off when the
temperature is above 90°C. Workaround: Do not use reverse supply
mode if the device is being used at this
temperature.
Fix/Plan Status:
Fixed in silicon in revision 3.1
8690 Buck
Regulators:
Buck current
limit does not
function
The buck current limit does not function properly,
there is no max current limit, and current limit may
engage before the rated load current of the buck
regulator.
Workaround: Immediately after power up
firmware should disable the current limit by
setting the SWILIMB SPI bit = 1.
Application needs to provide current limit
protection circuitry either in the battery or as
a pre regulated supply to BP.
Fix/Plan Status:
None
8691,
8692 Boost
Regulator:
Serial LED
Boost system
interfering with
REFCORE
voltage
Activating the SWLED boost regu lator can cause
REFCORE perturbations which cause the part to
shutdown.
Workaround: Do not use SWLED boost
supply to provide power for backlight LED
sinks. Use external supply to generate
boost voltage required for backlight LEDs.
Fix/Plan Status:

8870 Charger: BP
over-voltage
when hot
plugging a high
voltage charger
When hot plugging a high voltage charger, the BP
node can spike greater than 7.5 V. Workaround: Use an over-voltage
protection IC on the charger input
Fix/Plan Status:
None
8938 Charger:
Failure of
charger removal
detection
Charger removal may not always be detected by
the PMIC. This causes the charge path to stay on
and the battery voltage to be present at charger
input. Which could cause the charge LED to be
illuminated if present in the applicati on.
Workaround: Use software to poll the
charger current via an ADC reading every
one second, to check if the charger is
detected. Disable it when the charge
current goes below a reading of 3, or is
negative.
MC13892 Charger LED Driver patch for the
i.MX35PDK is posted to:
http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/
prod_summary.jsp?code=IMX35PDK&fpsp
=1&tab=Design_Tools_Tab
Detailed Description of Software
When a charger is detected, CHRGDETI
= 1 and CHRGDETS = 1, software
needs to poll the charge current
ADC every one second.
Check the value of the “Charger Current
(CHRGISNS-BPSNS)” by writing a 1 on
CHRGICON (Reg#43, bit#1) and writing
a 4 on ADA1 (Reg#44, Bits 5-7).
Take eight readings from the ADC for the
charger curr en t, discard the la rg e s t an d
smallest values, and average the
remaining six.
Take this average and DISABLE THE
CHARGER if the reading is “<= 3”, or
“NEGA TIVE”. All negative readings have
the last bit set to 1.
To disable the charger , set ICHRG[3:0] =
0000 and set the CHGAU TOVIB = 1.
Wait 1000 ms.
Re-enable the charger by setting
CHGAUTOVIB = 0.
If the average is > 3, then continue
polling the charger current every 1
second.
If CHGDETI = 1 and CHGDETS =0,
polling every one second should not take
place.

ID Erratum System Impact Description
8372 Power:
REGSCPEN
behavior does
not match the
spec.
The LDO SCPI does not work as per spec. The
interrupt SCPI is generated when a short-circuit is
detected, even if the REGSPEN bit is not set (the
spec says that in this case the interrupt should not
fire).
Workaround: Recommendation is to have
a short circuit protection enabled by setting
the REGSCPEN bit. However , if it is desired
to disable REGSCPEN, when SCPI
interrupt occurs follow the below steps to
identify the interrupt source:
a) If backlight is enabled,
Read both LED Control 0 and LED
Control 1 registers
i. If both are equal to 0x), then SCPI
indicates interrupt from the backlight
LED drivers.
ii. If both are not equal to 0x0, then
SCPI indicates short circuit
protection of a regulator
b) If backlight is disabled, SCPI indicates
short circuit protection of a regulator.

8375 Charger: BP to
CHRGRAW
leakage.
When the BP is in POWER OFF state, the S tandby
leakage currents on the BPSNS and CHRGISNS
pins are ~ 35 μA. If UVBUS is connected to
CHRGRAW, there is an additional 35 μA of
leakage current.
Workaround: None
Fix/Plan Status:
Fixed in silicon in revision 3.1
8382 USB: UVBUS
turn on event
works only if the
ramp is < 50 ms.
The USB attach turn on event only works if the
ramp of UVBUS from 0 to 4.4 V is <50 ms. Workaround: (3 options are available):
1. Speed up the UVBUS turn on time.
2. Work with a common USB and
charger path. A turn on event will
occur when USB is plugged in.
3. Use any other turn on event to power
up.

8719 Charger:
Operation from
wall charger with
no battery via
the charge path
or if the battery
is deeply
discharged.
When using the battery charger as the only source
of power, as in a batte ry-less application or if the
battery is deeply discharged, the following
precautions should be observed:
1. It is still necessary to connect ADIN5 to either
VCOREDIG or a midpoint of a divider from GPIO1
to ground since the battery charger will still
interpret this voltage as the battery pack thermistor
by default.
2. Very careful budgeting of the total current
consumption and voltage standoff from
CHRGRAW to BPSNS must be made, since the
power limiter is operational by default, and a
battery less or if the battery is deeply discharged
system won't have a source of current if the power
dissipation limit is reached.
3. If operating from a USB host the unit load limit
(100 mA max.) must still be observed.
4. If operating from a “wall charger”, and if there is
no battery or if the battery is deeply discharged,
there is an period of approximately 85 ms after
RESETB is released, that the current limit is set to
80mA before setting the current limit is set to a
nominal 560 mA. If the total current demand is
greater than this limit, or if the battery is deeply
discharged, the voltage may collapse and
RESETB may pulse a few times (depending in part
in the system load and dependence on RESETB.)
Therefore, at the end of this time, RESETB may or
may not be active. It may be necessary to use one
of the other turn-on even ts (such as PWRONx) to
turn the 13892 back on.
Workaround:
Add a 120mS RC delay on
RESETBMCU.
Add a 68K pull-up resistor to the I/O rail
at the RESETBMCU output.
Add a 100 Ohm resistor from the
RESETBMCU output of the PMIC to the
processors reset input.
Add a 2.2uF capacitor to ground on the
processor side of the 100 Ohm resistor.
Repeat the above steps for RESETB.
Fix/Plan Status:
Fixed in silicon in revision 3.2
8732 Buck
Regulator: Buck
current limit
interaction with
DVS
The buck current limit can be reached if an output
voltage increase is requested on a buck regulator
while close to max load. The consequence is that
the programmed output voltage is not reached,
during the DVS ramp up phase, the coil current
increases temp orari ly to pe rmit an outp ut rise , and
can reach current li mi t.
Workaround: When ramping buck
regulator voltage from a lower to a higher
set point near max load, disable current
limit by setting the SWILIMB SPI bit = 1.
Fix/Plan Status:
None
8945 ADC: Erroneous
ADC Reading Erroneous readings occur on the die temperature
and the CHRGRAW ADC channels when the IC
fails to detect the removal of the charger (see
Errata 8938).

increases when
VINUSB goes
above 5.1 V
When the VINUSB voltage exceeds 5.1 V, excess
current flows into the USB node. Workaround: None

slope and add the offset to the battery
current.

Leakage current
on the LICE LL .
When the coin cell is present and the
battery is disconnected, a leakage
current around 2.0 to 3.0 μA with
BP=high-impedance and 2mA if BP is
actively pulled to ground can be observed
from BP to GND, and also a leakage
voltage of 0.3 to 0.49 V. This leak age
current comes from the coin cell.
Workaround: Add NMOS switch or load switch
between BP and VINAUDIO with source conn ected
to BP and the drain connected to the VINAUDIO.
Enable the switch when application is ON and
disable when OFF.
