Pi 5 low 3V7_WL_SW_V when high Temp

[llllllllqq]

Describe the bug

I find an issue that the 3V7_WL_SW_V value (got by vcgencmd pmic_read_adc) will be lower if the CPU tempature (got by vcgencmd measure_temp) goes higher.

e.g. When 40'C, 3V7=~3.69v
When 50'C, 3V7=~3.67v
When 60'C, 3V7=~3.64v
...
When 70'C, 3V7=3.60v
And When 70'C, if I use an ice pack to cool down the Pi to 40'C, the 3V7 turns from 3.60v to 3.69v quickly.
All other Voltage (like PD 5V) values keep steady during all my tests. I use a 25W PD adapter (USB meter shows it can output 5A without big voltage decrease).
This issue seems have nothing to do with FAN power drain (I unplugged it and re-test).

I wonder whether it's only an accuracy bug about the built-in Voltage meter or the worse -- a real bug in the PMIC 3V7 converter. I cannot find the test pad of 3V7 so I cannot prove it with an external voltage meter.

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

Simply stress/cooldown the CPU and watch vcgencmd pmic_read_adc and vcgencmd measure_temp.

Additional context

No response

3.7V reading as 3.643V is about 1.5% out.
That is within the expected tolerances of the components that measure the voltage.
It it likely the actual voltage (if probed with more accurate equipment) would be closer to 3.7V.

So I don't believe there's any issue here.

Thanks for your reply.
What is the tolerance range? It will be 3.60v or even 3.5*v when above 70℃.
