LM25118-Q1: LM25118-Q1: CSD17309Q3 MOSFET issue

Part Number: LM25118-Q1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LM25118, CSD17309Q3

Hello TI, I have some problem with LM25118Q1MH/NOPB buck boost circuit from Webench, every thing working good but CSD17309Q3 MOSFET which is the boost MOSFET damaged in many board almost in 30% of the boards in nonunderstanding way spatially after short circuit, which I think LM25118 can handle it. Note that we already replace it by CSD18532 and still the same issue. 
Please check the following schematic:

  • Hi Anas,

    Thanks for using the e2e forum.
    Due to a conference, responses currently may get delayed a bit.
    I will look into your this case and get back to you by tomorrow.

    In the meantime, could you please fill in the excel calculator for LM25118?

    Thanks for your patience.

  • Hi Anas,

    There would be one additional question from my side.
    Could you describe the failure in more details?
    From what I understand, one of the low side FET shows damage. The other FET is still working?
    Would it be possible to take some measurements on a non-damaged board to check the gate voltage and switch note voltage?
    This way we can check if there might be possible overvoltages at the FET.

    Thanks and best regards,
    Niklas
