Hi Eli,
I reviewed your schematic, and notice that you do not appear to have an output ripple configuration shown.
This device uses a constant on time (COT) control architecture, which means that a certain amount of ripple is required on the FB pin of…
Hello Christopher,
Please can you fill out the calculator spreadsheet so I can review your design against your specification. I suspect you are unstable due to your ripple injection scheme. Thanks.

Hi,
You can download the quick tool in the link below, it should be no issues for the E37 tab.

Hi Matt,
Please check your values using the LM251085 quickstart calculator: https://www.ti.com/tool/LM25085-5085QUICK-CALC . The injected ripple to FB should be in the 50-100mV range.
If you suspect noise affecting the circuit, please send the PCB layout…
Hi,
This quickstart spreadsheet attached will allow you to form a solution with your design parameters. In addition, TI's buck converter filtering site will allow you to narrow down similar parts. For EMC mitigation I highly recommend you take a look…
Hi Martin,
That's an internal sharepoint site that I can't access. Please send the schematic as a PDF. Also, here is the link to the quickstart - https://www.ti.com/tool/LM25085-5085QUICK-CALC . It only takes a few mins to fill out and gives us…
Hi Andras,
Please use the LM25085 quickstart calculator to verify your design: https://www.ti.com/tool/LM25085-5085QUICK-CALC . Is the design operating stably based on the ripple generated by the output cap ESR? I see the FB divider is setup for a 13…
Hi Jared,
It appears that the pk-pk voltage injection amplitude is too high. Check the RC values from SW to VOUT as these set the ripple amplitude coupled to FB. It should be ~50mV (not more than 200mV at max Vin).The COT architecture regulates at the…
Hi Elvis,
Please check your values using the LM251085 quickstart calculator: https://www.ti.com/tool/LM25085-5085QUICK-CALC . Check the inductor ripple current, could be current limit engaging if the issue is occuring above a certain load current. The…
Another thing to check is the inductor - when operating at hot, the sat current reduces and it may enter saturation and engage current limit (set at 5.8A). Consider changing the inductor to a shielded design. Also, 2.2uH seems very low for a 3A design…
