LM25148: Early Termination of Switching Cycle

Part Number: LM25148

Tool/software:

A real odd on here-

Design is 30Vin to 15Vo. Load current ~8A max (for now). ~425kHz Fsw.

Load current is increased and at ~1-1.5A then the switching cycle starts to terminate early.

Sometimes the setpoint decreases to ~13.6V from 15V. 

Trace 1: low drive, trace 2 high side drive, trace 4 load current in inductor 2A/div.

I thought the bump in low drive could potentially be causing the problem but I don't think that is it.

Another observation is that inductor never seems to carry a DC current- always ramps up and down from 0

but that is likely because of what is happening with the early termination.
