fast battery charging, synthesizes the global VPH_PWR rail, and controls flash/haptic functions.

* Connected to the Snapdragon 765G application processor over the SPMI serial bus.
* Senses PWR_KEY ground trigger, begins internal power sequencing, enables 38.4MHz crystal, and awaits
1.8V PS_HOLD confirmation from the CPU.

* Samsung: Galaxy A51 5G (Qualcomm SM-A516V), Galaxy A71 5G (SM-A716U), Galaxy F52 5G.
3. COMMON MOTHERBOARD FAULT SYMPTOMS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Completely Dead Phone (0.00A Current Draw on DC Power Supply):
* No response when pressing the power button. Extremely common on Pixel 5 / OnePlus Nord after physical
drops; indicates cracked BGA solder balls under PM7250-003 or missing 1.8V on the power key.
- Fixed Low-Current Stuck / Freezing (0.04A – 0.08A Draw):
* When the power key is pressed, current jumps to ~50mA–80mA on the DC power supply and freezes
indefinitely without boot progression (indicates a missing core rail, dead 38.4MHz crystal, or broken PS_HOLD).
- Automatic Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 Port:
* Phone connects directly to PC in emergency download mode (EDL 9008) with a black screen due to
unstable or missing UFS 2.1 memory power rails generated by PM7250.
- Restart at Brand Logo / Boot Loop under Load:
* Handset boots up to the startup animation and suddenly restarts as soon as CPU clock frequencies spike,
caused by degraded buck output inductors or cracked solder joints on APC core voltage rails.
- Primary VPH_PWR Short Circuit:
* Internal breakdown of PM7250's high-side buck MOSFET pulls the main 4.0V VPH_PWR line to 0V ground,
causing the bench DC power supply to short-circuit immediately.
4. STEP-BY-STEP DIAGNOSTIC & TROUBLESHOOTING:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A. Cold Testing (Multimeter Diode Mode Check):
1. Disconnect battery and Type-C cable completely.
2. Select Diode Mode on digital multimeter. Connect RED probe to motherboard GND shield:
- Main VPH_PWR Input Capacitors: Normal reading is 360mV – 480mV.
- VDD_APC0 / APC1 Buck Coils (CPU Cores): Normal reading 60mV – 120mV (naturally low impedance).
- VDD_MEM Buck Coil (LPDDR4X Memory): Normal reading 260mV – 380mV.
- VDD_MODEM / CORE Buck Coil: Normal reading 180mV – 280mV.
- 1.8V VIO Peripheral LDO Caps: Normal reading 380mV – 500mV.
3. Diagnostic Rule: A reading of 0.000V indicates a dead short. If found on APC or MEM, isolate
whether the short is inside PM7250 or the CPU using low-voltage DC injection (0.9V – 1.0V)
and thermal imaging or rosin vapor.
B. Hot Testing (Live Operating Voltage Verification):
1. Connect stabilized bench DC power supply at 4.0V to battery terminals.
2. Measure VPH_PWR on filter capacitors surrounding PM7250: Must measure solid 4.0V DC.
3. Check Power Key contact: Must read steady 1.8V DC.
4. Press Power Key and measure voltage on all surrounding buck inductors:
- VDD_APC0 must output 0.75V – 0.90V.
- VDD_MEM must output 1.125V.
- VDD_CORE must output 0.80V.
5. Verify PS_HOLD test point: Must rise from 0V to 1.8V and stay locked high. If PS_HOLD drops back
to 0V after 1–2 seconds, inspect the CPU/RAM combo and UFS storage chip.
5. REWORK, REBALLING & INSTALLATION GUIDELINES:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Thermal Shielding & Precautions:
* Protect the adjacent Snapdragon 765G CPU and UFS memory chips with polyimide (Kapton) tape and thick
aluminum thermal foil to prevent heat damage or solder ball bridging.
- Chip Desoldering (Removal):
* Apply premium non-corrosive tacky BGA flux around PM7250.
* Set hot air station to 320°C with 45% airflow.
* Move nozzle in smooth concentric circles. As soon as all solder balls liquefy, lift the IC vertically
with precision micro-tweezers. Never force or pry the chip to avoid lifting delicate PCB pads.
- PCB Pad Dressing & Cleaning:
* Flatten solder pads using copper desoldering wick and a chisel-tip soldering iron set to 300°C.
* Clean thoroughly with 99% Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) and verify under microscope for missing or bridged pads.
- Reballing & Installation:
* Mount PM7250 into a 0.12mm dedicated stencil and apply 183°C leaded solder paste.
* Heat gently at 290°C – 300°C until perfect, uniform solder spheres form.
* Apply a microscope-thin film of flux to motherboard pads, align Pin 1 corner indicator dot with the
silkscreen indicator, and reflow at 310°C until the IC self-aligns. Allow the board to cool naturally.
