TPS62745: It is not turning on at 3.6mA

Part Number: TPS62745

Tool/software:

I had tested and confirmed it in a different board with a current source, but I had manufactured the same in a new board but it is not working properly.

My issue is like if I connected the regulator board to my base board the input voltage is reducing to 2.8V from 8.7V(At 3.6mA constant current source).

Can you please suggest any solution for this?

Please find the attached schematics of the same

  • Hi Aswin,

    Looks like your base board don't have enough capability to supply so that input voltage would decline.

    You cab use the DC source to supply regulator board and test again.

    Thanks

  • No but I need to source using current source only, I will share you the input circuit also, can you check and confirm why it is happening. And I will share the component details too. Please check and confirm once anything from that is causing the issue. Since in all boards showing the same behavior

  • Hi Aswin,

    What is your load current?\

    Do you mean that using 3.6mA constant current source to supply TPS62745?

    If so, it is very easy to make VIN drop, please use a high current capacity source.

    Thanks

    Colin

  • The actual consumption of the device is less than 3.6mA. And I want to turn it on with 3.6mA constant current supply. But at 3.6mA it is showing 2.8V only instead of 8.7V. If I heated the cap it will work for some times. Can you please check and confirm what is the reason for this?

    I need to make it work in 3.6mA since the board is working in 4-20mA current loop

  • Hi Aswin,

    Could you use a source which have higher current capability(maybe 100mA) to supply to this device again?

    Colin

  • It will work for voltage source. But my requirement is to make it work in 3.6mA constant current source. It is not working in 3.6mA constant current if there is no load also, that is my issue

  • Hi Aswin,

    Could you test the input current and show me the SW and inductor current in normal condition?

    Usually the input current shouldn't reach to such high value as you can see the efficiency is high in light load.

    Did you try another current source to test again?

    Thanks,

    Colin

  • I did the testing as per the suggestion, but still issue is there, without load the regulator circuit itself consuming 14mA, what will be the reason, any of the component is misbehaving?

    But there is no short

  • Hi Aswin,

    It is a little bit weird, can you test the SW and Vout waveforms to check?

    Thanks
