Hello TI team,
We came across a query posted on the E2E forum regarding the adding of bulk capacitors at the C1-OUT pin of the IC- LM3644YFFR. You can find more details in the following link: LM3644: Is it safe to add bulk capacitance on OUT in mF range for pass-mode operation? - Power management forum - Power management - TI E2E support forums
In our design, we implemented a similar approach by adding a 1.82mF capacitor configuration (1x 1.5mF + 3x 100uF + 2x 10uF) at OUT pin and operated the system in pass mode. Unfortunately, we encountered an issue where no voltage was generated at the OUT pin, and the error on faults status "Vout_short = 1" was indicated. This problem seems to be caused by the adding of the bulk capacitor at the OUT pin.
Notably, when we removed the bulk capacitor from the OUT pin, the IC functioned as intended without any faults status.
Please let us know if you require any additional information from our side. We would appreciate your prompt response to help resolve this issue.
