TPS25940: TPS25940L

Part Number: TPS25940

Tool/software:

Hi team,

I'm working with the TPS25940L. The input voltage is an 8V battery, with an OV=9.9V and a UV=5.5V. The eFuse works well, even with undervoltage and/or overvoltage. 

In the connection chain, after the eFuse, I have two other switching devices (one buck for 3V3 and the other buck-boost for 5V). Everythig works fine until I apply a load (such a WI-FI); in fact, the voltage drops at the eFuse output.

The peak current measured on the IMON pin is about 1.5A, and the eFuse has been set with a current limit of 5A.

The problem is detected whether a load is connected to +3V3 or +5V. If I bypass the eFuse, everything works normally even with the load connected.

I don't know why the eFuse behaves this way.

Do you have any suggestions? 

I've attached an image showing the connection (figure 1 ), the waveforms captured by the oscilloscope (figure 2) and the circuitry of eFuse (figure 3)
