LM27313: OUTPUT shows sawtooth wave

zhang ping

Part Number: LM27313

When the OLED brightness reaches 30%, the OUTPUT of LM27313 is normal, as shown in Figure 2. However, when the OLED brightness reaches 60%, the output of LM27313 is unstable, and the oscillometer shows sawtooth wave, as shown in Figure 3. Figure 4 shows the power parameters of THE OLED screen.

Hi Ping,

May i know the load current when OLED brightness reaches 30% and 60%?

7mA 30%-15mA 60%

Hi Ping,

Can you also share the layout?

Hi Ping,

There are several possible reason that causes this unstable Vout:

1. Layout: Layout is always very critical for a SMPS. The GND pin is better to be connected to the negative sides of output capacitors directly on top layer. Connect the lower FB resistor negative side to GND pin directly on top layer.

2. Is there any inrush current when the OLED draw current? If possible, please use current probe to measure the load current and inductor current.
