SECTION 1: FUNCTIONAL ARCHITECTURE & CIRCUIT ROLE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Circuit Position & Connectivity:
- Schematic Designation: Labeled as U_CHARGER, U_SMB, or U1301 on Qualcomm-based smartphone schematics.
- Power & Signal Interfaces:
* VBUS Input: Connects to the 5V USB charging port through an external OVP (Over-Voltage Protection) FET or TVS diode.
* SW (Switch Node): Drives an external power inductor (typically 1.0µH to 2.2µH) to generate the regulated system bus (VSYS / VPH_PWR).
* VBAT Connection: Connects to the positive battery terminal via an integrated internal BATFET (Battery Isolation FET).
* USB Data Lines: Senses USB DP/DM lines for BC1.2 automatic charger type detection (DCP, CDP, SDP).
* Control Bus: Communicates with the Application Processor / PMIC via I2C interface (SCL / SDA) and interrupt line (INT_N).
2. Operating Parameters & Power Ratings:
- Input Voltage Range (VBUS): 4.35V to 6.0V DC (with transient overvoltage withstand up to 14V–20V).
- Programmable Charge Current: Up to 2.0A constant current (CC) fast charging.
- Programmable Float Voltage: 3.6V to 4.5V with high regulation accuracy (±0.5%).
- Integrated Reverse Boost (OTG): Steps up battery voltage to 5.0V on VBUS to power external USB peripherals (mice, keyboards, OTG flash drives) up to 750mA.
3. Boot-Up & NVDC Power Path Operation:
- With an empty battery (<3.0V), conventional linear chargers fail to boot the system.
- SMB1360 prioritizes system power: it converts 5V VBUS directly to a stable 3.6V–3.8V VSYS rail to boot the CPU and PMIC immediately, while simultaneously routing the remaining current to replenish the depleted battery.

SECTION 2: BOARD-LEVEL FAULT SYMPTOMS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. No Charging / 0.00A Current Draw:
- Connecting the phone to a USB tester shows 5.0V with 0.00A current consumption; the battery icon never appears, and the notification LED does not light up.
- Primary Causes: Burnt internal input power switch in SMB1360, blown OVP circuit, or cracked solder balls under VBUS / GND pads.
2. Fake Charging (Slow Battery Drain While Plugged In):
- The screen displays the charging animation and lightning bolt icon, but the battery percentage does not increase or actually drops during use.
- Primary Causes: Failed internal current-sense resistor/circuitry, degraded buck switching MOSFET, or an open circuit in the external SW power inductor.
3. Dead Phone / VSYS Short to Ground:
- Voltage spikes from damaged cables or car chargers cause internal gate dielectric breakdown inside SMB1360, shorting VSYS directly to ground (0.000V).
- Result: Motherboard fails to boot. Connecting to a DC bench power supply immediately triggers maximum current draw (1.5A–2.5A) before pressing the power button, with intense heating centered on SMB1360.
4. Device Boots Only with Charger Connected (Dies When Unplugged):
- Phone functions normally while the USB cable is inserted, but shuts down immediately upon disconnecting the charger, even though the battery is charged.
- Primary Causes: Damaged internal BATFET inside SMB1360 failing to bridge the battery voltage to the system power bus.
5. Thermal Throttling / Burning Hot During Charging:
- Motherboard becomes scorching hot near the charging IC during charging, and the device shuts down with a "Battery Temperature Too High" error.
- Primary Causes: Internal leakage in the buck converter stage or damaged NTC temperature-sensing circuitry.

SECTION 3: STEP-BY-STEP MULTIMETER TESTING & DIAGNOSTICS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Cold Testing (Diode Mode Drop Readings in mV):
- Set multimeter to Diode Mode. Place RED probe on motherboard ground shield; use BLACK probe to check surrounding test points:
* VBUS Input Capacitors: ~450 mV to 580 mV (0.000V indicates blown input capacitor or shorted SMB1360).
* VSYS Power Inductor (Buck Output): ~350 mV to 480 mV (0.000V indicates a dead short on the main system line).
* VBAT Battery Pin / Connection: ~380 mV to 500 mV.
* USB DP / DM Lines: ~600 mV to 750 mV (both data lines must match within ±15 mV).
* I2C Bus (SCL / SDA Lines): ~450 mV to 560 mV.
* Diagnostic Check: If VSYS reads 0.000V, inject 2.5V (max 2A) on the inductor; if SMB1360 glows under a thermal camera, remove the chip to verify the short clears.
2. Hot Testing (Live Operating Voltage Checks):
- Connect 5.0V USB charger to the board:
* Check VBUS input capacitor: Must read steady 5.0V to 5.2V DC.
* Check VSYS Inductor (without battery): Must output steady 3.6V to 4.0V DC.
* Check VBAT terminal: Must output baseline pre-charge voltage (~3.8V to 4.2V).
* Diagnostic Rule: If 5.0V is verified at the VBUS input pin but the VSYS inductor outputs 0.0V and USB current is 0.00A, SMB1360 is defective, disconnected, or held in shutdown.

SECTION 4: SOLDERING, REBALLING & REWORK SPECIFICATIONS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. IC Desoldering Protocols:
- Rework Station: Quick 861DW, Atten ST-862D, or Sugon 8620DX.
- Temperature: 330°C - 340°C.
- Airflow: 35% with a 4.0mm straight nozzle.
- Thermal Protection: Mask adjacent CPU, eMMC flash, and plastic SIM/FPC connectors with high-temp Kapton tape and aluminum foil.
- Removal Procedure: Apply a drop of tacky flux (Amtech NC-559-V2-TF). Heat the 30-ball chip evenly in circular motions for 15-18 seconds until all solder balls liquefy, then lift vertically with fine-point micro-tweezers.
2. Motherboard Pad Leveling & Cleaning:
- Set micro-soldering iron to 330°C using an ultra-fine bevel or knife tip.
- Apply a small amount of Sn63/Pb37 leaded solder to dissolve the high-temperature factory lead-free alloy on the board pads.
- Smoothly glide fine 0.8mm desoldering copper braid over the footprint until all 30 pads are completely flat and level.
- Clean the area thoroughly with 99.9% pure Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) and inspect under microscope for pad delamination or bridges.
3. Reballing Parameters:
- Stencil: Dedicated Qualcomm SMB1360 BGA stencil or universal 0.40mm pitch micro-BGA stencil (30-ball, 5x6 matrix, 0.10mm thickness).
- Solder Paste: Sn63/Pb37 leaded paste (183°C melting point, Type 4 or Type 5 fine powder).
- Reballing Temperature: 250°C - 265°C with 20% airflow.
- Inspect newly formed solder spheres under microscope to confirm identical diameter and spherical height across all 30 positions.
4. Alignment & Final Installation:
- Spread an ultra-thin, translucent film of tacky flux across the leveled motherboard footprint.
- Pin 1 Alignment: Locate the laser index dot on the corner of the SMB1360 and align it with the Pin 1 corner marker on the PCB silkscreen.
- Reflow Temperature: 325°C - 335°C at 30% airflow.
- Heat gradually in circular motions until the chip sinks into the molten solder pool and self-centers via surface tension.
- Execute an ultra-gentle micro-nudge with fine tweezers to verify elastic return movement.
- Allow natural cooling for 3 minutes, clean remaining flux residue, connect battery and USB charger, and verify steady charging current on a USB ammeter.
