QUALCOMM SMB1394 HARDWARE & CHIP-LEVEL REPAIR GUIDE
================================================================================
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 1: FUNCTIONAL ARCHITECTURE & CIRCUIT ROLE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Architecture: Switched-Capacitor 2:1 (DIV/2) charge pump converter designed for
single-cell (1SnP) battery systems.
- Power Input Range: 3.7V to 13.2V input tolerance; optimized for direct adapter
regulation (USB PD PPS / QC 4.0/4+).
- Current Handling: Up to 5A input current, delivering up to 10A peak output directly
to the battery rail (V_BAT).
- Efficiency Profile: 97.2% peak efficiency at 6A output, minimizing thermal rise.
- Switching Frequency: Digitally programmable between 200 kHz and 900 kHz.
- Control Interfaces: Dual communication support via I2C and SPMI bus protocols,
interfacing with the main system PMIC (PM8150/PM8350 series) and the Application
Processor (SoC).
- External Protections: Integrated gate drivers for external Reverse-Current Blocking
FETs and Over-Voltage Protection (OVP) FETs (up to 350V surge isolation).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 2: BOARD-LEVEL FAULT SYMPTOMS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Slow / Stuck Charging:
- Device charges strictly at standard 5V/1A or 5V/2A; completely fails to trigger
high-voltage Turbo/Fast Charge protocols.
2. VPH_PWR / VBAT Line Short:
- A shorted internal bridge FET clamps VBAT or VBUS input to GND, causing 0.00V
on the battery line and full DC power supply current limit trip (3A-5A draw).
3. Dead Phone (No Boot / Frozen Current Draw):
- Leaking SMB1394 pulls SPMI or I2C communication lines low (SDA/SCL clamp),
freezing the primary PMIC state machine at 50mA - 80mA boot current.
4. Thermal Runaway:
- Extreme heating located around the charge pump shield during cable insertion,
leading to system thermal shutdown or reboot loop.
5. Wireless Charging Inoperative:
- On models routing wireless RX power through SMB1394, wireless charging drops
out immediately upon detection.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 3: STEP-BY-STEP MULTIMETER TESTING & DIAGNOSTICS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[A] Cold Testing (Diode Mode Readings - Red Probe on GND, Black Probe on Line):
- VBUS_IN Filter Capacitors: Normal reading: ~0.450V - 0.550V (450mV - 550mV).
If < 0.050V: Shorted input capacitor or failed high-side input FET.
- FLYING CAPACITOR (C_FLY Pins): Normal reading: ~0.400V - 0.520V on both terminals.
Terminals must NOT be shorted to GND or to each other.
- VBAT / VOUT Smoothing Line: Normal reading: ~0.380V - 0.460V.
- I2C_SDA / I2C_SCL (or SPMI Data/Clock lines): Normal reading: ~0.450V - 0.600V.
Both lines must match within +/-15mV. Under 0.200V indicates line pull-down fault.
[B] Hot Testing (Voltages with Battery Connected & Charger Plugged In):
- VBUS Pin: 9.0V - 11.0V (during active Quick Charge / PPS handshake).
- VOUT Pin: Exactly matches battery terminal voltage (3.8V - 4.35V).
- Switching Verification: Differential voltage across flying capacitors should
equal approximately half of the input voltage (Vin / 2).
[C] Short Isolation Technique:
- Remove board shield covering SMB1394.
- Coat IC and surrounding decoupling array with rosin flux or use thermal camera.
- Inject 1.8V to 3.5V (current limit set to 2.5A) into the shorted rail.
- Immediate thermal expansion on the glass WLCSP die confirms internal silicon failure.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 4: SOLDERING, REBALLING & REWORK SPECIFICATIONS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Package Caution: WLCSP bare-silicon die is brittle; avoid mechanical prying or
excessive localized stress.
- Removal Parameters:
* Hot Air Station: 340°C - 355°C (using calibrated quick-heat station).
* Airflow: 50% - 60% with a 6mm - 8mm curved nozzle.
* Pre-heat board evenly for 20-30 seconds prior to focusing heat on the chip.
- PCB Pad Cleanup:
* Apply premium synthetic rosin flux (e.g., Amtech NC-559-V2).
* Soldering iron set to 350°C using a micro-chisel (K/BC-type) tip with low-melt
alloy, followed by soft copper desoldering braid to level all 72 PCB pads flat.
* Clean residue with high-purity (99.9%) Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA).
- Reballing Specifications:
* Stencil: Direct-heat or magnetic 0.35 mm pitch WLCSP-72 dedicated/universal stencil.
* Solder Paste: Low-voiding Sn63/Pb37 (183°C melting point) or Sn62/Pb36/Ag2.
* Reballing Heat: 280°C - 300°C with 30% airflow to prevent ball bridging.
- Alignment & Final Placement:
* Check Pin 1 orientation dot located on the top laser marking (align to PCB silk dot).
* Apply a very light, uniform layer of tacky flux.
* Solder at 345°C - 355°C (airflow 45%). Observe self-centering surface tension,
then deliver a microscopic nudge with tweezers to ensure solid solder joints.
