TPS61088: TPS61088 Circuit No Output,Test IC Finds Short Circuit between 4th(SW) and 8th(BOOT) Legs,check the 0.1uF cap between pin4 and pin8.----Capacitance is normal

Expert 2630 points
Part Number: TPS61088

Product parameters:          
Input Voltage: Battery Voltage 3-4.2V           
Output voltage and current: 6V 1A 
        
Fault phenomena:           
In the process of testing the product, the output of the product is normal, but the IC is very hot. After a few seconds,Short Circuit Between 4th "SW" and 8th"BOOT" Foot Discovered by Power-off Measuring IC TPS61088.

check the 0.1uF cap between pin4 and pin8.----Capacitance is normal

Working frequency: 1.2MHZ

  • Dear Sir,

    This phenomenon happened on all of the boards, or only one of them?  Could you please try to remove the IC from the board?

  • This is happening in some products,The defect rate is quite high
    Remove IC from PCB board, test SW foot and BOOT foot is short circuit
  • Dear Sir,

    Thanks for the update. Its clear. 

    I need to check the BOM, pcb layout and the sch to check the root cause. Let's discuss by email. I'll send a private message to you.
