DIODES INC. DMP3017SFG (MARK S47 / S48) HARDWARE DIAGNOSTIC & REWORK GUIDE
====================================================================================================
1. FUNCTIONAL ARCHITECTURE & CIRCUIT ROLE:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Pinout & Internal Structure (PowerDI3333-8):
* Pins 1, 2, 3: Source (S) - Connected to incoming VBUS 5V power from Lightning flex.
* Pin 4: Gate (G) - Driven by Tristar/Hydra charging logic or backlight driver.
* Pins 5, 6, 7, 8 & Exposed Thermal Pad: Drain (D) - Output passing current to Tigris charging IC / VBUS_MAIN.
- Charging OVP & Reverse Voltage Protection:
* When a certified Apple charger is attached and authenticated, Tristar pulls the Gate (Pin 4) LOW
relative to Source. This turns the P-channel MOSFET fully ON, passing up to 2.4A charging current into
the battery charging management IC.
* In the event of high-voltage spikes (faulty car charger or power surge), the gate is released HIGH,
instantly cutting off power to prevent destruction of the main PMIC and CPU.
- Display Backlight Switching Role (Q8104):
* In iPad display backlight circuits, it acts as the master high-side switch controlling battery voltage
delivery to the dual backlight boost coils and driver ICs.
2. BOARD-LEVEL FAULT SYMPTOMS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- iPad Not Charging (0.00A on USB Safety Tester):
* 5.0V is present at the Lightning dock connector, but the iPad draws 0.00A. Caused by internal burn-out
of the MOSFET channel (open-circuit from Source to Drain).
- Primary Short Circuit on Charging Input:
* Internal gate-to-source or source-to-drain silicon puncture shorts the VBUS rail directly to ground
(0.000V in diode mode), causing USB chargers to shut down or DC bench power supplies to beep instantly.
- Fake Charging / Slow Charging:
* Partial degradation of the P-channel silicon increases internal resistance (Rds(on)) from milliohms
to hundreds of ohms, causing severe voltage drop under 2A load; the iPad displays the lightning bolt
icon but the battery percentage drains.
- No Display Backlight (Dark Screen / Torch Light Display):
* If Q8104 fails, backlight power is cut off. The screen remains totally black, although under a bright
external flashlight, the Apple logo or home screen icons are faintly visible and touch still functions.
3. MULTIMETER DIAGNOSTICS & TESTING PROCEDURE:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A. Cold Testing (Diode Mode - Battery & Lightning Cable Disconnected):
1. Set digital multimeter to Diode Mode. Place RED probe on motherboard ground (shield frame) and probe
the MOSFET pins with the BLACK probe:
- Source Pins (1, 2, 3 - Input): Normal reading is ~500mV to 650mV. (0.000V = dead short).
- Gate Pin (4 - Control): Normal reading is ~600mV to 750mV.
- Drain Pins (5, 6, 7, 8 - Output): Normal reading is ~450mV to 580mV.
2. Internal Body Diode Verification (Across Component):
- Place RED probe on Drain (Pins 5–8) and BLACK probe on Source (Pins 1–3).
- Multimeter MUST show normal forward diode drop (~400mV to 500mV).
- Reverse the probes (BLACK on Drain, RED on Source): Meter MUST display OL (infinite resistance).
- If it reads 0.000V or beeps in both directions, the MOSFET is punctured and shorted.
B. Hot Testing (Operating Voltage Checks with Charger Connected):
1. Plug in verified 5V Apple iPad charger:
- Measure Source Pins (1, 2, 3): Must read steady 5.0V DC.
- Measure Gate Pin (4): Must measure lower than Source (~1.5V to 2.8V DC) to enable conduction.
- Measure Drain Pins (5, 6, 7, 8): Must measure full 5.0V DC.
2. Diagnostic Evaluation:
- If 5.0V is present on Source and Gate is pulled LOW, but Drain measures 0.0V, the S47/S48 MOSFET
is blown open and must be replaced.
4. MICRO-SOLDERING & REWORK SPECIFICATIONS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Package Architecture:
* PowerDI3333-8 / DFN-8 package (3.3mm x 3.3mm) with 8 perimeter leads and a large bottom ground/drain tab.
- Heat Dissipation & Pre-Heating:
* iPad logic boards are thick copper ground planes that dissipate heat rapidly. Pre-heat the underside
of the motherboard at 130°C–140°C to avoid board blistering or delamination.
- Desoldering (Removal):
* Apply a small amount of non-corrosive RMA / NC-559 tacky flux around the package.
* Hot air rework parameters: Temperature 330°C – 345°C, Airflow 25% – 30%.
* Heat in circular motions for 15 to 20 seconds. Once the center thermal pad melts, lift the component
straight up with fine tweezers.
- Motherboard Pad Cleaning:
* Apply 183°C leaded solder wire (Sn63/Pb37) to the pads using a bevel soldering iron tip at 280°C to soften
factory lead-free solder.
* Clean all 8 perimeter pads and the center thermal drain pad flat and smooth using micro copper wick and flux.
* Clean thoroughly with 99% pure Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA); verify pads under microscope.
- Installation:
* Apply an ultra-thin film of tacky flux on the cleaned motherboard pads.
* Align the Pin 1 corner bevel/dot on the S47/S48 chip accurately with the motherboard silkscreen marker.
* Solder with hot air at 310°C – 320°C with 20% airflow. Watch the component settle flat and self-center
as the center thermal solder melts.
* Give a delicate micro-touch on the corner; it should spring back to center immediately.
* Allow the motherboard to cool down naturally for 3 minutes before connecting the battery and testing charging current.
