TPS54335A: PH Pin short to GND issue

Part Number: TPS54335A

How could  TPS54335ADDAR be damaged with PH pin shorting to GND ?  

And in the datasheet, I can't get information about  selecting  switching frequency, do you have any recommendation about that ?

Or is there any other Pin-to-Pin chips suitable to take replace of TPS54335ADDAR for stable and safe application?

Three  TPS54335ADDAR  are applied on our product PCB.  One is  for 12V- to-8.8V, another one is for 12V-to-5V, the last one is for 12V-to-3.3V.

Now we found  PH pin of TPS54335ADDAR has been shorted  to GND on 15 pieces  PCBs  of  total 2000 units. All the fail appearance are found after a period of use.

11 pieces of failed TPS54335ADDAR chips are  the ones for 12V-to-8.8V and 4 pieces are the ones for 12V-to-5V.

Load current of 8.8V is tested about 480mA to power the backlight circuit of LCD.  

Load current of 5V is tested about 300mA.  

Load current of 3.3V is about 1.65A.

Switching frequency of  the three application are selected 1.5MHz.  The type of  inductor is  SPM6530T-4R7M with 6.2A rating current.

The output capacitors of 12V-to-5V are 47uF/6.3V, The output capacitors of 12V-to-8.8V are 47uF/16V.
