The picture attached shows what happens on Vsys when it succeeds to boot because I gave it the "3.3V transfusion" from another A5. The blue trace is 3.3V. For the first 30us we draw the crazy current, but then the load seems to reduce before Vsys is drained down far enough to make an emergency transition to SAVE. Then for the next 300us we complete the regulator startup with USB able to provide enough power to additionally bring Vsys back up to 5V. - -Andy -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkhrQVYACgkQOjLpvpq7dMqZ7QCglW/PDVeDRUz1gkju5c6Tvl1W 14AAnio1J1MNIrMYKOCiyZA7MDvIE/oH =Bjck -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
