High voltaje regulator fail VDDH

Hi, im working in a project with the nRF5340-QKAA and I need VDD as output 1.8V, for this reasoin I supply the uC with 3.6V on VDDH like this image:

 this works fine, I can read the 1.8V on VDD pins but the uC doesn't run the FW, it give me this error on VS Code when I try to flash it:

In other hand if I suply with 3.6V on all pins VDDH and VDD the uC runs and the FW works fine.

As FW I use the blink example of Nordic with this main:

#include <zephyr/kernel.h>
#include <zephyr/drivers/gpio.h>
#include <hal/nrf_gpio.h>

#define SLEEP_TIME_LEDS   1000
#define SLEEP_TIME_BUZZER 100
#define LED_RED   NRF_GPIO_PIN_MAP(1, 3)
#define LED_GREEN NRF_GPIO_PIN_MAP(0, 8)
#define LED_BLUE  NRF_GPIO_PIN_MAP(0, 9)

#define BUZZER    NRF_GPIO_PIN_MAP(0, 7)

int main(void)
{
	nrf_gpio_cfg_output(LED_RED); //Set pins as output
	nrf_gpio_cfg_output(LED_GREEN);
	nrf_gpio_cfg_output(LED_BLUE);	
	nrf_gpio_cfg_output(BUZZER);		

	while (1) {

		nrf_gpio_pin_set(LED_RED);
		k_msleep(SLEEP_TIME_LEDS);
		nrf_gpio_pin_clear(LED_RED);
		k_msleep(SLEEP_TIME_LEDS);			

		nrf_gpio_pin_set(LED_GREEN);
		k_msleep(SLEEP_TIME_LEDS);
		nrf_gpio_pin_clear(LED_GREEN);
		k_msleep(SLEEP_TIME_LEDS);

		nrf_gpio_pin_set(LED_BLUE);
		k_msleep(SLEEP_TIME_LEDS);
		nrf_gpio_pin_clear(LED_BLUE);
		k_msleep(SLEEP_TIME_LEDS);			

	}
	
}

Any have idea why doesn work the uC whe I only suplly the VDDH pin with 3.6V?

  • Hi

    What are you using for programming your device here? Since it doesn't work on 1.8V I'm assuming you're maybe using an nRF5340 DK, which only supports flashing targets at 3V, so then it would make sense you're seeing these issues on a lower voltage target. SEGGER has multiple J-Link devices supporting lower voltage target boards, so please check them out here.

    Best regards,
