TPS23730: Hiccup mode

Part Number: TPS23730
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: PMP23365

Tool/software:

POE Team,

Please refer to the attached schematic; this circuit is based on the PMP23365. The output switching is 12ms on and 20ms off, which suggests the chip might be in hiccup mode. The input voltage remains stable at 52VDC at VDD, the output is not shorted, and the voltage between VSS and PGND stays within the limit. However, I'm observing around 6V RMS on the output. What other factors could cause this?

Thank you,
