TPS23734: TPS23734 and Mosfet is Heating when connect the Load

Part Number: TPS23734
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: PMP23278

Hi, I am using the TPS23734 and switching mosfet is heating when connect the load 50mA.POE-TPS23734RMTR.pdf

  • Hi Sandeep,

    Thanks for reaching out.

    I am wondering if you want to use a active clamping forward structure. If so, please refer PMP23278 reference design for the secondary side and the transformer.

  • Hi Diang,

    I have add the secondary  circuit which is used in PMP23278 reference design and on the power IC TPS23734 is Instantly not work I remove the secondary circuit and change the IC after that we have added a diode (40V/3Amps) to transformer output and then connect the secondary circuit the circuit is working fine but IC is heating without load.

    Both reference Images is attached.

    Circuit used in Secondary SideAdded Diode at Output

  • Hi Sandeep, 

    Thanks for your information.

    I think the transformer you selected (PA2467NL) is for flyback converter instead of forward converter. I think the transformer may cause the failure when you use PMP23278's secondary side.  

    If you want to use the forward converter, I would recommend you to change the transformer as well.

    Best regards,
