XO1.75 A3 B1 Changes

These are the changes planned for the XO-1.75 B1 prototype, from the A3 prototypes.

A3 Electrical Fixes

SMBus Pullups

These correct a mistake omitting the pullup resistors for the SMBus between the EC and the battery charger.

• Add a 1.3K resistor between PR200 and +3.3VSUS.
• Add a 1.3K resistor between PR201 and +3.3VSUS.

Audio Analog Power

This corrects a wiring mistake (Trac ticket 10974).

• Change +3.3VA_AUDIO to be +3.3V_AVDD.

External SD Power

Ensure that the EN_SD2_PWR# signal is wired to all components in the layout.

Input Protection

Change to the input protection suggested by S.F. Chen, reducing the number of components.

USB Power

The USB power switch should be improved to actually support close to 1A output on most laptops.

All of the A3 prototypes trip with overcurrent at less than 0.6A.

Antitheft System

We need to add antitheft protection to the A3 design. This consists of a circuit which can be triggered from OFW. Once triggered, the circuit should disable:

• write access from the SoC to the OFW SPI Flash
• write access to the EC internal Flash through the EDI interface

The antitheft circuit, once triggered, should only be cleared by a signal which also forces a reset of the main/security processor, such as SOC_RESET#.

Display Power Sequencing

The display power enable circuitry needs to be sequenced properly to turn off the display completely. Trac ticket #10964

Vcore Improvements

A solution to Trac ticket #10901 should be implemented.

A3 Layout Fixes

Moving the RTC Battery

The RTC battery should be moved to a location where the battery isn't under the heat spreader and where it can be easily attached to the motherboard. It doesn't have to be close to the battery charger.

EC Connector and the Heat Spreader

The EC connector is under the proposed heat spreader. This is generally agreed to be OK.
