TPS61220: Requesting help with debugging unexpected behaviour

Part Number: TPS61220

Tool/software:

Problem

I'm seeing unexpected voltage output and fluctuating current input on the TPS61220 that I've soldered on my custom PCB (details can be found below). I would kindly request help to debug what might be going wrong in my setup.

Context

I'm planning to incorporate a TPS61220 voltage boost converter in my project. To learn how to design the final PCB, I've designed a small PCB to test out just the boost converter. I've modeled the design to the TPS61220EVM-319 evaluation model

Notes

  • I'm a hobbyist/enthusiast without any electrical engineering background, so could well be that I made some silly mistake, any help is appreciated Slight smile.
  • I don't have access to an Oscilloscope, but if there is something <$100 that would help with debugging, I'm okay with buying additional tooling.

Notes on the data below

  • R1 and R2 are swapped around compared to the TPS61220 datasheet.
  • I've used 180k instead of 178k resistor for R1 (in my datasheet)
  • Therefore, I expect: VOUT = VFB × (R2 + R1)/R1  = 0.5 x (1000+180)/180 ~ 3.28V

Measurements
Note: I don't have an Oscilloscope so the data collected below is from my Power Profile Kit II providing input voltage and current and a Multimeter measuring the output voltage.
