LM5050-1: unexpected behaviour of Gate output

Part Number: LM5050-1

we are using LM5050-1 at below application.

our expectation:

  • when normal operation,Q1 turns on at start up , and always on
  • when Q2 damaged in short, we use LM5050 to turn off Q1, to prevent the Vin applies to Vout.

but in our application:

  • when Vin applies,  Q1 will be turned on by LM5050,and Q1 Vgs=12V
  • but when there is no fault condition to OFF pin of LM5050,  once Q2 and Q3 starts to work, especially applied load on Vout, LM5050 will turns off Q1. 

CH1: Vin =40V,  CH2: Vgs of Q1, CH4: Vout

can you please explain why LM5050 turns off Q1 ?
