Hi Brian,

This seems like a bug to me. TPS56C215 has the same specs and the design runs with that part with no issue.

Allow me to look further into this and I will respond in the next few days.

Thanks,

Calan

Hi Brian,

We are able to replicate the issue.

Currently device is failing for above condition due to minimum off time getting hit for TPS56C231 with operating frequency of 800KHz.

Whereas for the device TPS56C215 the operating frequency is 400KHz and hence the design is getting created.

We are working to correct the issue in TPS56C231. We will keep you updated on the same.

Thanks and Regards,

Umayal
