SAMSUNG S5205 SLAVE PMIC HARDWARE DIAGNOSTIC & REWORK GUIDE
====================================================================================================
1. FUNCTIONAL ARCHITECTURE & CIRCUIT ROLE:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Dual-PMIC Architecture:
* In modern Samsung flagship phones (S21 series), power management is divided between Master PMIC
and Slave/Sub PMIC (S5205) to distribute thermal load and ensure ultra-clean power to dense silicon nodes.
- High-Performance Auxiliary Buck Regulators:
* Generates high-efficiency, ripple-free voltages for:
- NPU (Neural Processing Unit) and auxiliary AI processing blocks.
- Secondary GPU graphics rails and dynamic system core rails.
- Multi-Channel High-PSRR LDO Regulators:
* Supplies precision low-noise 1.2V, 1.8V, 2.8V, and 3.3V power rails for:
- Multi-lens camera modules (OIS, autofocus actuator, image sensor analog/digital supplies).
- 120Hz dynamic AMOLED display timing and touch digitizer controller.
- UFS 3.1 high-speed NAND flash storage rails.
- Power Handshaking & Bus Interface:
* Synchronized with Master PMIC and Exynos processor via high-speed SPMI / I2C serial control buses.
2. BOARD-LEVEL FAULT SYMPTOMS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- No Boot / Current Freeze (0.05A – 0.08A Stagnant Current Draw):
* When powered via DC bench power supply at 4.0V, pressing the power button causes current to jump to
~50mA–80mA and lock up permanently. The phone cannot boot because the CPU boot sequence waits for
secondary power rails from S5205 that never stabilize.
- Fast Charging Disabled / Fake Charging:
* Phone charges very slowly (0.40A–0.50A only) or displays "Charging Paused / Battery Temperature Too High/Low"
due to damaged thermal/charging control lines inside S5205.
- Severe Motherboard Overheating & Quick Battery Drain:
* S5205 develops internal silicon leakage, drawing 150mA–400mA continuously in sleep mode, making the phone
unusually warm around the shield and draining battery within hours.
- Camera Malfunction ("Warning: Camera Failed"):
* When opening the Camera app, the screen remains black or crashes instantly because dedicated camera
LDO power channels inside S5205 have burnt out.
- Secondary Short Circuit to Ground:
* DC power supply trips or shows high short-circuit current the moment the power key is pressed.
3. MULTIMETER DIAGNOSTIC & VOLTAGE TESTING:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A. Cold Testing (Diode Mode - Battery & USB Cable Disconnected):
1. Set digital multimeter to Diode Mode. Place RED probe on motherboard ground (shield frame) and probe
components surrounding S5205 with the BLACK probe:
- Main Input Battery / VSYS Capacitors: Normal reading is ~380mV to 480mV. (0.000V indicates a dead short).
- Auxiliary Buck Inductors (Small grey coils near S5205): Normal readings are ~180mV to 320mV (low impedance
is normal for high-current core lines, but must not be a dead short 0.000V).
- Peripheral LDO Capacitors (Camera / Sensor lines): Normal readings range from ~420mV to 650mV.
- SPMI / I2C Bus Test Points: Balanced readings between ~450mV and 550mV.
2. Short-Circuit Verification:
- If any coil or capacitor reads 0.000V, apply rosin smoke across S5205 and inject 1.0V (max 1.5A) into
the shorted line. If S5205 melts the rosin immediately, the IC is internally shorted.
B. Hot Testing (Operating Voltage Checks with Motherboard Powered via Bench Power Supply):
1. Connect motherboard to DC bench supply and press the power button:
- Check Main Input Rail: Steady 4.0V DC reaching S5205 input filtering capacitors.
- Check Secondary Buck Coils on Trigger:
* Auxiliary Core / NPU Rail: ~0.75V to 1.1V DC.
* Secondary System Logic: ~0.85V to 0.95V DC.
- Check Camera LDO Lines: With camera app opened, 1.8V and 2.8V must appear at output capacitors.
2. Diagnostic Evaluation:
- If input voltage is present and master PMIC issues power-enable signals, but all S5205 output rails
remain 0.0V, the S5205 IC is defective or has cracked solder balls.
4. MICRO-SOLDERING, REBALLING & REWORK SPECIFICATIONS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Package Architecture:
* S5205 features a high-density 225-pin BGA array. The solder balls are ultra-fine (0.35mm pitch).
- Double-Decker / Multi-Layer PCB Protection:
* In Samsung S21 series, the motherboard utilizes high-density layered PCB technology with the Exynos 2100
CPU and UFS storage mounted close by.
* Thoroughly mask the CPU, RAM, and surrounding components using dual layers of Kapton tape and heat-reflective
aluminum foil heat shields.
- Desoldering (Removal):
* Apply a small amount of premium low-residue tacky flux (Amtech NC-559 or Relife) around S5205 edges.
* Hot air rework parameters: Temperature 330°C – 345°C, Airflow 25% – 30%.
* Apply heat uniformly in circular motions for 20 to 25 seconds.
* Gently touch the corner with ultra-fine curved tweezers; as soon as it floats freely on liquid solder,
lift it straight up vertically without disturbing adjacent miniature 0201/01005 SMD capacitors.
- Motherboard Pad Cleaning:
* Apply 183°C leaded solder wire (Sn63/Pb37) to the motherboard pads using a fine bevel soldering iron
tip at 280°C to soften the original high-temperature lead-free alloy.
* Clean all 225 PCB pads perfectly flat and smooth using micro copper desoldering wick and flux.
* Clean thoroughly with 99% pure Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA); inspect under microscope for pad integrity.
- Reballing Procedure:
* Use a dedicated Samsung S21 series / Exynos 2100 stencil or universal 0.35mm / 0.4mm BGA stencil.
* Spread 183°C fine-grain leaded solder paste evenly into the 225 apertures.
* Reflow using hot air at 280°C and low airflow (15%) until bright spherical solder balls form across all 225 pads.
- Installation:
* Apply a microscopically thin film of tacky flux on the cleaned motherboard footprint.
* Align the Pin 1 orientation index dot on S5205 precisely with the motherboard silkscreen corner marker.
* Solder with hot air at 310°C – 320°C with 20% airflow. Watch the IC self-center via molten solder surface tension.
* Give a delicate micro-touch; it must spring back to center immediately.
* Allow the motherboard to cool down naturally for 3 to 5 minutes before connecting to DC power for boot testing.
