TPS40170 LDRV shorting to GND

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS40170

Hello,

I'm having an issue with a TPS40107 design:

When powered, the TPS40170 immediately gets very hot. On inspection I find that LDRV has shorted to PGND internally.

I have checked that no short- or open- circuits exist on the PCB itself. I cannot explain why the IC should be failing like this.

Any assistance or help with debugging this is appreciated.
