LM74700D-Q1: LM74700D Vgs Stress issue

Part Number: LM74700D-Q1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LM74700-Q1

Tool/software:

Hi E2E,

CH1 is Q210 Vgs pin
CH2 is the output voltage of the PSU
CH3 is IC210 Pin1

Why does the voltage of PIN1 rush from about 13V to 33V when the power is turned off?
If the voltage of the Vgs pin rises, it will cause the Vgs of my Q210 to exceed the upper limit of the operating voltage.

   

  • Hi Rock,

    This is not expected. Is this happening on multiple devices and boards?

    Also, I see that the CH2 (PSU VOUT) is around 30V whereas VCAP is at ~12V only. 

    Is CH3 measured at pin1 or pin1-pin6.

  • Hi Shiven,

    I'm not sure about the number of customer tests. I will on side support yesterday and double the test result.

    The CH3 measured at pin1 Vcap.

    Please refer to the schematic on secondary side.

  • Hi Rock,

    Is the device already damaged or something? VCAP does not seem to work. Ideally when working, pin1 should see VIN+12V.

    Please verify this.

  • Hi Shiven,

    I  have checked with the customer and double-checked the MOSFET Vgs voltage, in the different outputs of the PSU, and there were different results. 

    In the 12V Vout PUS application, the MOSFET Vgs were normal

    CH2: Vgs

    In the 36V Vout PUS application, the  MOSFET Vgs were abnormal

    CH2: Vgs, CH3: Vds

    Is LM74700 can be used in the redundant power application? Thanks.

  • Hi Rock,

    LM74700-Q1 can be used in redundant power application.

    In 2nd scope shot, what were the test conditions?

    Was it connected in ORing? VSD looks negative and GATE falls to zero as soon as VSD goes negative.
