Hi,
We've issue with TPS630250. After running for few hours its internal transistors fails. We can measure aprox. 20 Ohms between pins VIN and L1, L1 and GND. Converter was loaded with GPS/GSM module, static current was less than 20 mA and current peeks were up to 1.6 A.
We've replaced the part and lowered output voltage to 3.52 V by replacing R11 with 200k resistor. It fails again after 10 hours of running, but this time there is short only between L1 and GND.
It's powered by battery with voltage from 3V to 4.2V. The issue occured with fully charged battery.
Our other prototypes of same board are working well. Oldest board is running for 4 months.
Do you've any suggestions for solving the issue?
