TPS552872: Loss in regulation.

Part Number: TPS552872

Team, Below is the Schematic.

Experiment Setup:

Buck Mode

Scenario 1: (Vin >= 16V)

No load: Regulation is maintained @15V.

After it is turned ONN, Let's say after 1 Second, @Full load (1.22A), It doesn't lose regulation, Regulation is maintained @15V.

Scenario 2: When the load @Full load (1.22A) is connected, and then Vin is applied, the output is observed with Oscillations as seen in image below.

I Updated CC ( C118) to 10nF, Able to maintain regulation upto 0.5A.

Boost Mode

Scenario 1: (Vin =9V)

No load: Regulation is maintained @15V.

Scenario 2: @Full load (1.22A), Even after 1 second, doesn't maintain regulation, Below Oscillations are observed.

I Updated CC ( C118) to 10nF, Able to maintain regulation upto 0.5A.

Changing CC is recommended ?? or What More can be checked so that we can load up to 1.4A?

Also, what is the use of CDC pin? Will that help here?

Latest Updates 03/05/24:

Load current: 0.9A, it is regulating from 11.8V and above. 11.8V and less upto 9.8V, It loses regulation.

I tried changing Rcomp & Ccomp values. Combinations like 4.7nF & 27K, 6.8nF & 27K, 50k & 10nF. Cp is open.

for all above values, it doesn't lose regulation, the moment Input voltage is below 11.8, It is not regulating, we observe the above ripple type behavior. 

  • Hello Mohammed,

    The expert for this device is out of the office until beginning of next week. Expect an answer from him beginning of next week.

  • Hi Mohammed,

    It looks like the stability problem.

    1. Can you share the input voltage and max output current?

    2. What is the part number of the output capacitors(C108-C114, C106), and it seems C106 is floating, the COMP parameters will also differ. We need the ESR and effective capacitance to calculate the COMP parameters. You can also use the attached Calculation tool for that.

  • Hi Mohammed,

    We have not seen an update from you for three weeks, so I assume the questions are answered and the issue is solved.

    I close this thread now. If there is still something open, please reply and the thread will get opened again.

    If you have any other question or of the thread has been locked, please open a new one.
