That's my thought as well - is there anything driving the CPLD pins before the CPLD rails are up? -----Original Message----- From: si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of austin@xxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, June 07, 2013 11:26 AM To: hsiuanju@xxxxxxxxxxx; weirsi@xxxxxxxxxx; 'SI-list freelist' Subject: [SI-LIST] Re: CPLD getting blown on board Hi All, Possible CMOS Latch-up?

Please follow up the previous suggestions from SI experts and do the last thing here: Do Power Integrity simulation for 3.3V core first, then 2.5V. Make sure the Ztarget is less than 5% below 10MHz. I think it should help.
