Hi,
I have a problem with the buck-boost converter. when there is no load i don't have a stable current usage.
When the PCB is in power down it should consume around 6uA a 7uA. However the current is constant fluctuating from 7uA to 20uA.
in a previous design with the same components as the new design, i use the buck converter TPS62040, with that converter i had a stable 7uA current usage.
On the oscilloscope i see a fluctuating sawtooth in power down mode. it fluctuates from +-19hz to +-22 hz, the screenshots are in the attachments.
That fluctuating frequency corresponds with the fluctuating current in power down mode. When the PCB is not in power down mode, it consumes around 500uA.
In that case i see a stable sawtooth with stable frequency on the scope.
I do have 3 other TPS63901 buck boost converters on the PCB which are turned off in power down by the uController.
i also attached my design.
Can someone tell what causes this problem?
