A Surprise Hardware Bug in Raspberry Pi's RP2350 Leads to Unexpected Pull-Down Behavior (www.hackster.io)

Raspberry Pi has confirmed a bug in the new RP2350 microcontroller family, which causes pins to freeze outputting 2.15V when configured as inputs using the internal pull-down resistors — tied, it seems, to changes made by a vendor to an off-the-shelf fault tolerant pad IP block.

"[I] found a silicon bug," Dangerous Prototypes' Ian Lesnet explains of the issue, which has been confirmed as an erratum in Raspberry Pi's official documentation for the newly-launched dual-architecture RP2350 microcontroller family. "When a GPIO [General-Purpose Input/Output] pin is an input with the pull-down resistor enabled, it acts like a bus hold. We use the pull-down on the button, which connects to 3.3V when pressed. During the self-test pressing the button works, but then it never goes low again, it sits at 2.15V…"

So the conclusion is basically “pull down resistors don’t work because vendor screwup”?

Any plans for a new HW revision?
