TPS62560 destruction

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS62560, TINA-TI, TLV62080

Hi team,

  My customer is evaluating TPS62560 on a prototype.
  When he was evaluating it,the TPS62560 destruction occurred.
  When he checked the destroyed IC(TPS62560),the resistance value between the SW pin
  and GND was 20Ω.
    *We already sent the destroyed IC to TI to analyze it.(curve tracer etc..)

  I attached the customer's circuit diagram and the result which my customer evaluated
  a other circuit board(same prototype) as follows.
   *However the TPS62560 on that circuit board has not been destroyed yet.

  I wonder if you could answer my two questions.
  In addition,if you have any advices,please let me know.


 Q1) When the approximately 7.4V voltage is applied to the SW pin
        during several nano seconds at the TPS62560 starting up,
        is it thought that the above phenomenon leads to destruction like this time?
         *cf. attached file TPS62560_circuit.xlsx "Resut of evaluation"


 Q2) I attached the result that I simulated the TPS62560 circuit using TINA-TI as follows.

        From the simulation result,the low side FET turns on during approximately 25us
        before the switching operation, and the large current flows.
          *cf. attached file TPS62560_TINA.xlsx "simulation results"
 
        I think that the low side FET will be destroyed,if that phenomenon occurs.
        Though we have not observed the phenomenon that the low side FET turns on
        during 2-30 microseconds on the actual circuit board,is there possibility that 
        the above phenomenon occurs on the actual circuit board?

Best regards.
